FOR HELPING A YOUNG CHILD WHO IS SCARED OF MONSTERS FALL ASLEEP
   

If you can't convince her that the monsters she fears don't exist make a circle of salt and crushed sage leaves around the bed. Salt is for protection and sage gets rid of evil spirits. When the child is in bed, you sprinkle it around for them and reassure them that nothing can get to them.

    

Sweep it up (or vacuum in the morning) and sprinkle it fresh every night.

     

With your child make an altar to watch over her while she sleeps. Put a beautiful picture of a Goddess, a vase of flowers and a rose quartz crystal. Also try putting any favourite superhero dolls on the altar as well to get rid of the monsters. The Incredible Hulk, Superman or whichever ones your child is drawn to.

SPELL FOR CONFIDENCE

  

You will need:
A piece of cedar wood about 18 inches long
rose geranium oil

 

Chip a little of the wood off and put to one side. Place 7 drops of rose geranium onto the cedar wand and holding it in your right hand trace a circle around yourself (or have someone do it for you) and visualise a glowing sphere of light encasing you as you say:

   
"The protective shield of the Goddess
Keeps me from harm
Allows my power to grow within me
To share for the good of all"

  

Place a drop of rose geranium on the small piece of cedar and carry it with you. Do this ritual every morning.

  

Tip:
Black tea drunk with lemon is good for courage

ADVICE AND SPELL TO EASE DEPRESSION

  

Try an aromatherapy oil blend based on Clary Sage (unless you are pregnant). Jurlique's 'Wise Woman' blend is wonderful.

  

Drink Tansy tea (coffee substitute, available at Health stores). Tansy honours the Goddess within and represents the immortal and eternally renewing qualities of life.

  

Take St John Wort's tablets or tincture. Nicolas Culpepper (renowned herbalist) recommends steeping the herb in wine and a glass to be drunk before bed to prevent bad dreams.

   

SPELL

  
You will need:
1 stick of eucalyptus gum wood (excellent conductor)
white rose
salt

  

Stand under a tree and ask for it's help to heal you. Sprinkle a circle of salt at it's base and plunge the stick into the centre of the circle, holding the end in both hands. Channel your feelings of sadness and depression through the wood, if you cry let your tears fall on the earth.

  

Say:
"I release pain and woe
From me all sadness flows
Heal my heart, Mother Earth
So that I am free of fear and hurt"

Take the stick out of the earth and place the white rose there and say:
"I am what I am, and what I am has beauty and strength".

  

Thank the tree and keep the stick to use again if necessary.

THANK YOU SPELL FOR ALL THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE

(ie: When things are going really well and you want to say thanks to the Universe)

  

Make an offering to the earth by planting a tree and giving money to charity to spread the good vibes.

  

To continue the good fortune every Sunday take a bath.

 

Mix 4 cups of pure ground rock salt and 1 cup of epsom salt put in plastic bag and a few drops of orange food colouring and shake to spread with the essential oils of orange, jasmine and sandalwood.

 

Immerse yourself for at least 15 minutes and gives thanks and encourage continued good fortune by saying this incantation:

  
"Earth and water I conjure thee,
to work my will for continued luck to be
salts of life I mix with with holy scent
so my prayers to the Lady and Lord are sent"

GOOD LUCK SPELL FOR FINDING A NEW JOB OR JUST INCREASING LUCK IN GENERAL
(adapted from Nicola dePulford's 'Book of Spells')

 

Pick a small bundle of twigs from a growing apple tree (ask the tree's permission and for it's blessing as you do so). Soak the twigs for a week in seawater, dry, then burn on a hearth or small fire.

  

Weave your hands through the smoke and say, "May luck continue in my hand and blossom like an apple bough."

   

Take the ashes of the fire and scatter them over a growing apple tree roots as nourishment and a further boost to enhancing your good fortune.

SPELL FOR HAPPINESS

You will need:
A small box (cardboard or wood)
A piece of Linen
Lavender essential oil
A black candle
A vase of beautiful coloured flowers
A handful each of the herbs, vervain and yarrow
Mandarin essential oil
A silver candle
A yellow ribbon
A lock of your own hair

Set up an altar in your home - the top of a small table or chest, where it won't be disturbed. Place the black candle at the back with the box and leave everything else off the altar for the moment, lighting the candle. Sit in front and invoke the Queen of the Witches, the Goddess, Diana: "Diana - Queen of the Heavens, bless me with your divine presence" Feel her come to you as a serene yet incredibly strong and powerful presence.

Now focus on the sadness you wish to release - you are safe in Diana's arms - let it pour out of you and catch a tear with the linen, placing it in the box. When you are ready, drop three drops of lavender oil on the linen saying, "I release you, I release you, I release you." Now place the lid on the box and snuff the black candle with your fingertips. It is important that you honour and acknowledge your sadness as valid and justified, but it is time now to let it go.

Now place the flowers on the altar and the silver candle, lighting it. Anoint yourself at the heart and third eye (between your eyebrows) with the mandarin oil. Take the mixture of herbs and sprinkle them in a sunwise (anti-clockwise) direction to make a circle on your altar. Place in the centre your lock of hair and the ribbon. Hold your hands over these and ask Diana to move her energy through you so that you can fortify these things with the strongest and purest essence of your lifeforce. Feel her love move through you like silver light and pulse out of the palms of your hands and into the herb circle. When you are ready say:"Above all things I deserve to be happy" or something similar in your own words that expresses your desire for happiness.

Now tie the yellow ribbon around the hair three times saying:
Sweet joy is bound to me.
Happiness comes easily.
As the tides of life ebb and flow I avoid their undertow.

Now tie the ribbon with five knots saying with each knot:
By one this spell is done
By two it will come true
By three so mote it be
By four for the good of all
By five so shall love thrive

Thank the Goddess Diana for assisting your rite and bid her love and farewell. Keep the altar set up for as long as you want, lighting the silver candle to re-empower your ritual whenever you need to. (Keep the flowers fresh too! Or perhaps place a growing pot of vervain there so that it's lifeforce can continue to build the strength of your spell.) Any time you need to, meditate in front of your altar on your divine right to be happy - no matter what trials are placed in your path - the greatest and most honourable people often have the hardest lessons.

This letter of lust and love
I send to the ethers above

honey
milk
white paper
green pen
a white candle
a green candle
a growing tree

pure and sweet
fortify my dreams
bring my goal to me"

A YOUNG GIRL/WOMAN'S SPELL FOR CONFIDENCE AND TO GET RID OF SHYNESS

The Goddess Venus is appropriate to invoke to increase a female's confidence. Venus helps to invoke the spiritual aspect of the self with confidence and ease.

You need to make a little altar at home to Venus. Place on it the Empress card of the Tarot, a orange and pink candle, a vase with a pink tiger lily, a piece of turquoise and sandalwood incense.

Every morning light the candles and incense and invoke the Goddess
"I weave my spell of Witchy ways
and call on Venus bold and brave
I feel her within from on this day
and can be myself bold and brave"

After snuff the candle and incense ready for the next day.

Wear sandalwood beads and carry turquoise during the day.

FOR A PERSON WONDERING IF THEY ARE IN THE RIGHT JOB

With bare feet and in the morning sun, cut a sprig of sage with silver scissors - three days before the full moon.

Tie with a green ribbon and hang in the window of the room in which you sleep. If it has not withered by the full moon you are in the right job. If it has you need to start investigating other options.

SPELL FOR A SORE BACK

Have a warm bath with a cup of chamomile infusion poured in - also drink a cup of the chamomile tea as well.

For added effectiveness break three bay leaves off a living branch, to add to the bath - but make sure you break them off in a 'downward' motion to assist in their 'purging pain' properties.

Stand beside a flowing river or stream with a leafy willow branch in your right hand. Stoke your back with the branch as you say, "Away, away with pain" at least three times, then throw the branch into the river to carry the pain away.

SPELL FOR WORK RELATED STRESS

Grow a pot of lavender on your desk to keep on the job stress to a minimum.To increase it's potency put red agate crystal around the base of the plant. This will help you work more effectively and handle multi-tasking better.

Invoke Athena, the Greek Goddess of warriors and commerce by listening to flute music, eating olives and burning musk incense. She will look after you at work and make sure you are strong and confident.

Try creating a psychic shield like Alexander the Great did when he went into the Valley of Diamonds to find treasure which was guarded by snakes with the power to kill with a single glance. He overcame the serpents by ordering his soldiers to hold up their polished steel shields to repel the energy of the snake's gaze.

Place a mirror (small make up mirror or even a spare pair of glasses will do) on your desk facing the doorway of your office or back over your shoulder so that people who stress you out don't approach you.

With your outstretched index finger you can also trace a pentagram (Witches sacred five pointed star) over your desk or office doorway to stop people you don't like from entering.

SPELL TO ENSURE GOOD LUCK

Make a fire outside and throw on seven big handfuls of gum leaves and seven big handfuls of dried chamomile. Do not light the fire yet.

Now have a cold shower and go outside skyclad (naked). Light the fire and leap through the smoke seven times as you say:
"Away Away
Bad luck and woe
The tide is turned
My fortune grows"

When the fire dies down turn the ashes into the soil to bury your old bad luck.

VITALITY RITUAL

When you are feeling low on energy try 'colour breathing'. Take deep breathes and imagine the air as a stream of silver light (for girls) and gold light (for boys). Feel the light infuse every fibre of your being so that you feel tingly and awake.

Another technique is to loosely cup your 'power hand' (the hand you write with) and visualise a ball of light growing there, glowing and pulsing and then through it in your mo0uth and swallow or throw it into your coffee or herbal tea for extra energy.

Regular baths with lavender oil added can help strip away collected negative energies that can weigh you down.

TAROT READING ASSISTANCE

To assist in reading the cards, burn four white candles and drink mugwort tea. Burn incense of myrrh, sandalwood and cinnamon (perfect for meditating on Tarot and aligned with the Lovers card).

The crystal - chrysolite, placed with the cards or worn can assist in a clear reading.
