Meal Blessing
*Hold your hands over the food, and say each line three times.
The table round contains the Earth
And thus becomes the Mother
We share her bounty in this hour
And bless and love each other
So mote it be
Personal Journal/Book Blessing
These words herein are mine alone
Fashioned deep inside my bones
Each picture, thought, and quote you see
Are all reflections of what is me
Beware the urge to take this book
Or read it in some private nook
Because it’s magick isn’t blind
And I will know you’ve touched what’s mine
Gift Blessing
*Hold the object in your hands. Take several deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling slowly. Visualize the object glowing with white light. Connect your mind to Spirit and try to think of nothing else. Imagine the gift capturing the pure perfection of the universe. They say:
Perfect love and perfect peace
The world will dance as one
I dream the wish to make it real
The magick now is done
Seal your work by drawing an equal-armed cross (+) in the air over the object. You can also empower birthday, get well, and sympathy cards in this manner.
Bedtime Blessing
*Close your eyes and breathe deeply three or four times until you feel relaxed and at peace. Imagine
That your entire body is filled with brilliant, white light and say
In the still of the night
While the world around me sleeps
May the angels smile upon me
And the Lady bring me peace
Blessings upon (list whom you would like to remember in your prayer)
I know that you will care for them
And bring them what they need
Instill in me great harmony
In thought and word and deed
So mote it be
This poem can be said as a blessing when giving something to another, and can be included in any spell by adding
“This is my birthright to have and to share blessings upon you, (the person’s name)may the spirits be fair”
Thirteen powers do the Witches claim
Their right of lineage by (say the name of your patron god or goddess here)
Tie a knot and say the words or hand on head – the blessing conferred
A witch can give success in love
curse or bless through God/dess above
Speak to beasts and spirits alike
Command the weather, cast out a blight
Read the heavens and stars of the night
Divine the future and bring fortune to bear
Heal the sick and kill despair
