    For my special Friends who are unemployed

    This is for all my special friends out there, who are unemployed.

     

    To Get a Job

     

    Begin on Sunday.  Light a gold or yellow coloured candle and make the following spell.

     

    A Good Job Awaits Me,

    I Know.

    For Thine Brilliant Light

    Scans and Searches

    A Place For Me.

    A Good Job Awaits Me,

    For Thine Goodness is great!

    My Faith In Thee is

    Complete

    A Good Job Waits for Me.

     

    Speak this spell three times.

    There is no alternative psalm to read for this ritual.

    Perform ritual every day until employment is found.

     

    Finally, we should remind you that candle burning should not be performed for fun or amusement. It should only be performed for real needs and desires. Doing a ritual “just for kicks” or “just to see what happens” will prove totally fruitless. Those who treat candle burning irreverently, or any form of spiritual or occult operation, will gain nothing at best. The subject should be approached seriously and with real spirit of belief. Do not speak the spells/psalms like a zombie: say the words with feeling and drama. Strong emotions gives irresistible power to ritual.

    Candle Burning works.

    Try it and see.

    Solitary Samhain Ritual

    Solitary Samhain Ritual

    Tools needed:
    A knife (must be sharp)
    Apples or Grapes (pref. room temperature or warm)
    Pomegranate (pref. chilled)
    God and Goddess Candles on the altar
    Small serving dishes

    Call elements
    Cast your circle

    Invoke deities by saying:
    "Gaia, who nurtures all life, send your son Pan, Lord of the fields and flocks. May he join me in celebration and revelry."

    Light the God Candle and say:
    "Pan, master of beasts and rough, primal forces--enter this circle; share your wild abandon! Bring to us joys and lusts; bring the last kiss of summer before the cold of winter. Join me, Pan! IO EVOE!

    Face Altar Saying:
    "Ouranous, who rules the heavens, send your daughter Hekate, She who guards against the terrors of the night. May she join me in celebration and reflection."

    Light Goddess candle and say:
    "Hekate, queen of night and the restless spirits--enter this circle, share your peace and wisdom. Bring calm and endurance; bring guidance through the winter until the days grow warm. Join me, Hekate! IO EVOE!"

    Cycling of the year:

    Take the blade, and grapes [or apple]. Cut into fruit (apples or grapes); place on a plate, and offer it upwards & then hold it in front of you.
    "I eat this last fruit of summer. May I be filled with the warmth that has ripened this fruit on the vine [or tree]. May I taste the sweetness of life in the sun.”

    Eat, and pause to think about the end of summer.

    Place knife on altar. Say: "Summer ends. Winter begins. The fields lay fallow, and the beast sleep in their homes. The Lord passes the mantle of guidance to the Lady as the nights grow cold and long."

    Take blade & pomegranate. Cut into it, place on plate; offer it upwards, then hold it in front of you. "I eat this first fruit of winter. May I feel the chill that ripened this fruit in the rind? May I taste the richness of life hidden away.”?

    Eat, and pause to think of what winter will bring.


    Worship & prayers:

    Say: "Hekate Apotropaios, averter of evil--control the wrath of the dead, whose spirits cry out for vengeance, and who may lash out at anyone they can reach. Protect the living from their rage. Hekate Chthonia, lady of the underworld--you have dominion over the hostile spirits who wander; guide them to their resting places, and seal the gates between the worlds. Hekate Phosphoros, light-bringer--bring us light and guidance as we stand in this doorway, this transition between peace and war. Let your torches show us the truths hidden in the shadows; lead us out of this darkness."

    Remembrance & contemplation:

    "I now remember and honour those who have died this past year."

    Face altar, and mention someone who has passed in the last year that you will miss. This does not need to be someone you know personally. If you have incense, light a stick and wave it in a circle, or put another pinch on the charcoal for each person you mention. (Or light a candle.) If you have a token of the person (an item of theirs, or a photo), place it on the altar.

    Continue until you've had the chance to remember as many people as you care to. Pause.

    Simple Feast--cakes & wine, or whatever you want

    Thank and release the Gods and Goddesses

    "Pan, lord of the fields in summer, thank you for your presence, for sharing your joy in life. Before you depart to your winter realms, I drink deep in your honour" [raise cup, drink, spill some in libation bowl, set it down & raise hands over head]... "Hail Pan! Hail & farewell!"

    "Hekate, lady of night & magic, thank you for your presence, for extending your protection. Before you depart to take up your winter duties, I drink deep in your honour" [raise cup, drink, spill some in libation bowl, set it down & raise hands over head] "Hail Hekate! Hail & farewell!"

    Open the circle
    Dismiss the elements

    Tools Needed:
    2 pink candles
    Rosemary herb
    Jasmine or Gardenia Oil
    A mirror
    A pink cloth large enough to cover the mirror

    The divine is all around us. To tap into the spirit of the divine in your daily life, gather together two pink candles, some jasmine or gardenia oil, some rosemary herb, a mirror and a pink cloth large enough to cover the mirror. Sit before the mirror, eyes closed, and breathe in the energy of the earth and sky. Fill yourself with light. Open your eyes and see yourself filled with light. Anoint the outline of your face with the oil and speak the following verse three times:

    "I am the Goddess (or God) Incarnate.
    I am filled with light
    And connected to all things.

    I am beautiful. I am loved."

    Cover the mirror with the pink cloth. Repeat the verse any time you are feeling lonely, down on yourself or unloved.

    God/Goddess Incarnate Spell

    At this time of the year, the balance between dark and light it's great to try and find your own balance using an Autumnal Blessing. It can easily be adapted for a group or solitary:

    Use a White and Black candle, placed side by side, for this ritual. Breathe in the glow that comes from the equal balance of day and night. Decorate your sacred space with fruits and grain and harvest leaves as you slowly speak this verse:

    "Protection covers me and mine,
    Abundant gifts grow from Nature Divine.

    Mabone comes with balance dear,
    The second such time of the year.

    Second Harvest abundance flows,
    Through our labor the storehouse grows.

    We fill our stores though Harvest Moon,
    For winter's cold is coming soon.

    Harvest brings both hope and fear,
    Harder times are drawing near.

    Bless this house with abundance clear,
    And bless all who are dwelling here.

    Strength of the cycles for all to see,
    Bringing colour to land and tree.

    Red, Yellow, Brown and Amber,
    Dress the forests, preparing for slumber.

    My spirit embrace the dwindling light,
    I am ready now for the longer night.

    Protection and safety there will be,
    As the wheel of the years turns, blessed be.

    The balance now is perfect and right.
    Preparations made for Demeter's night.

    Searching she goes and searching she will be,
    Till Kore's return to you and me.

    Mabon's magic dances in me,
    Autumn blessings to all,
    So Mote It Be!"

    Ring of Fire

    Ring of Fire Spell

    This spell is based on a little-known solar ritual from the Aegean islands. Long ago on the night before the Summer Solstice, hoops were set ablaze, and the villagers would guide the Sun's return by jumping though rings of fire. You can create your own ring of fire with this spell. At dusk, outdoors if possible, light four candles of appropriate colour, one for each season, in a circle. In the centre place a gold or yellow candle for the Sun. Light the seasonal candles and say:

    "Seasons must turn,
    Let the Sun return."

    Light the Sun candle and say:

    "Shining One,
    Charge me with passion,
    Turn my words into action.
    It must be!"

    Jump over your lit candles if you dare. Meditate on each Season and Thank the Sun for it's return as you put out the candles.

    Relationship Charm

    Relationship Charm Spell

    On the night of a waxing Moon gather a pink candle, two rose petals, lavender oil and a small china plate. Cast a circle and light the candle. Contemplate the flame as a symbol of love's light. Place the rose petals on the plate and add three drops of oil while saying:

    "Love's truth burns bright,
    I welcome my soul mate on this night."

    Tip the candle to drip wax onto the petals, enough to form a coin sized token. Mold the wax and the petals together. Keep this token safe for six Moons then bury it beneath a rose bush.

    Vision from the Goddess

    Vision from the Goddess

    If you seek divine inspiration of guidance on this day, scatter candles liberally but safely, around a room. Half-fill a small cauldron or large bowl with water and add some floating candles. Light all the candles, leaving the floating ones for last. Ground and centre yourself, calling on a particular deity if you wish. When you feel ready, gaze into the bottom of the cauldron, focusing; yet not focusing, on the flames and motion of the water. Spend some time afterward meditating upon the vision that you received. You may want to write down what you saw as well as what you think it meant, for future use.

    Bury your Old Self

    Bury Your Old Self Spell

    If you are bothered by an aspect of your personality that you would like to let go of, then take a new potato and a knife (or your athame) and carve the potato into an image that represents the aspect to you. At midnight, take the carved potato our into a field (or wherever you can find relatively undisturbed dirt) and bury it in the ground. As you do, repeat these words:

    "With this image, I
    consign this aspect of
    myself to my mother the Earth.
    As this image returns to the Earth,
    this aspect of my personality
    dissolves into my psyche
    and is transformed into
    new capabilities"

    You're done. As the image under the earth dissolves, so will the quality you want to be rid of!

    Mental & Physical Health

    Mental & Physical Health Spell

    Tools Needed:
    Your altar or any sacred space of your choice
    White Candle
    Yellow Candle
    Orange Candle

    Ritual:
    Place the white candle in the centre of your altar. Light it and say:
    "I light this candle to renew my spirit"

    To the left, light the yellow candle and say:
    "This flame fires my imagination"

    To the right, light the orange candle and say:
    "My body is healthy and strong"

    Thank the candles and extinguish them. Now you're ready for the season of light to return

    Springs of Kupala Love Bath

    Springs of Kupala Love Bath

    Kupala is the Slavic Goddess of springs and rivers. Her name means "to bathe"; and if you need a new love in the New Year; perhaps Kupala can help you. Gather some fragrant flowers, either red or pink in colour, and "love" scented bath salts. Fill the bathtub with water and bath salts as directed. Sprinkle some flower petals into the bath water. While you relax in the bath, recite to yourself:

    "Kupala, goddess fragrant, dear,
    I ask for love in the new year.

    Mountain streams bring fresh and free
    Waters rushing to the sea.
    As my will, so mote it be."
    Scatter the rest of the flower petals into a moving body of water, and the spell is done!

    Releasing Intense Emotions

    Releasing Intense Emotions Spell

    Perform this easy spell to calm yourself when dealing with intense emotional family or other issues. By ridding yourself of this excess emotional energy, you will allow your mind and body to stay healthy during this stressful season.

    Ingredients:
    a piece of unlined paper
    a pen
    a black candle
    a bowl of purified water
    sea sale

    Spell:
    Light the candle. On the paper write down any fears, frustrations, or concerns you may be feeling. Let the words come flowing from inside you, do not hold back. If you feel like saying the words aloud as you write them do so. Once you are finished fold the paper up and burn it in the candle flame. After you burn the paper, dip your fingers in the water and sprinkle yourself with it while saying:

    "I release these words, I release this tension, I release this negativity from my life"

    You're done!

    Health and Vitality

    Health and Vitality Spell

    Cut a circle from a white or yellow piece of paper. Write on the paper the words Health and Vitality. Add any specific health issues you wish to deal with, and in the centre of the paper place a bay leaf, a small amount of cinnamon, and three grains of rice. Fold the paper into a packet to hold the ingredients. Take the packet in hand for a moment and concentrate on your healing intentions, sending that energy into the package. Place the paper in a fireproof container and light it on fire. As it burns, say;
    "Sacred fire,
    I pray to thee,
    Release all bonds
    And set this free-
    That health and vitality
    might come to me."

    Prosperity and Luck

    Prosperity and Luck Spell

    Tools:
    A Gold Candle
    A piece of Jade (or other lucky stone)

    Light the Gold Candle. Focus on the changes you would like to happen. Hold the stone in your hand and focus those changes "into" the stone. Visualize your energy combining with the stone and say these words:

    "Changing energies,
    Universal luck,
    Weighted my way~
    Fortunate door opening,
    Beginning this day."

    Visualize the release of energy to the universe. Extinguish the candle. Keep the stone with you as a reminder to be alert for new opportunity or as in the words of Lucille Ball:
    "Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it, and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work -- and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't."

    Prosperity and Success

    Prosperity and Success Spell

    Ingredients:
    1 small cauldron
    1 small green or brown charm bag
    3 silver coins
    Cinnamon
    Cedar oil
    A small table to use as an altar

    Spell:
    Place a little dish or cup inside the cauldron with a small amount of cinnamon and cedar in it. Lay the three coins next to it on your altar. Tap each coin with the forefinger of the hand you write with (your power hand) and chant:

    "Glistening silver coin of the Moon,
    Shiny and round, bring me a boon.
    Draw to my hands many more of your kind.
    Multiply, grow, like the image in my mind.

    Place the coins in the cauldron with the herbs and three drops of oil. Using your power hand, stir the air clockwise seven times over the cauldron and chant:

    "Earth elements, cunning and bright,
    Share you treasures here on this night.
    Share with me riches of silver and gold,
    Success, prosperity, all I can hold."

    Place the herbs and the coins in the talisman bag. Carry this with you until the Full Moon goes through her phases and returns to Full.

    Full Moon Scrying Ritual

    Full Moon Scrying Ritual

    The upcoming summer months are the perfect time for Full Moon Scrying and I'd like to pass on an old, time honoured scrying ritual originally written by D.J. Conway that I have used many times during the long summer nights:

    Items Needed:
    1 bright, shiny silver coin
    1 small, black cauldron or scrying bowl filled with water

    Perform this ritual outside where the rays of the Moon can fall directly onto the water in the cauldron. If you cannot go outside, stay in a darkened room near a window that the Moon shines through. Place the coin in the water and take the cauldron in both hands. Gaze up at the Moon and say:

    "Lovely Lady of the night,
    Mysteries old and futures bright,
    Give me a glimpse of that to be
    And as I will so mote it be."

    Look down at the coin shimmering in the cauldrons water. With your eyes half closed, adjust your vision as if you were looking into and through the coin. Don't try to analuze anything you might see or that might come into your mind. Just accept it. Some people, rather than seeing actual pictures within the cauldron, will have mental impressions, feelings or pictures. When you have finished, bow to the Moon and say thank you. Pour the water out on the ground. You're done!

    Home or Business Protection Spell

    Home or Business Protection Spell

    To bless your home or business, place a bowl of candy, herbs or stones by your front entrance. Bless then bowl's contents by speaking aloud the following verse:

    May those who pass always walk safely in her steps.
    May they feel the guidance of her hand,
    And know she is always with us,
    From the time we meet till we meet again."

    Invite visitors to take an offering as they enter the premises.
