The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

As we are a few days away from a Full Moon, let's try a little dream magic tonight. Call on the Moon goddess Selene and ask for her help in sending you a magical dream. Before you retire for the evening, set a pen and notebook by your bed. When you wake in the morning you are ready to jot down your memories from your dreams.





As the waxing Moon rises,

I call on beautiful Selene,

As I retire for the night,

Send me a magical dream.

Show me what may be, or

Grant knowledge of the past,

As I wake, the images will

Hold true and fast.

Prayer:

This is a lovely prayer gleaned from Usenet.

It could prove useful in any house blessing ritual.



Touch the lintel and touch the wall,

Nothing but blessings here befall!

Bless the candle that stands by itself,

Bless the book on the mantle shelf,

Bless the pillow for the tired head,

Bless the hearth and the light shed.

Friends who tarry here, let them know

A three fold blessing before they go.

Sleep for weariness - peace for sorrow

Faith in yesterday and tomorrow.

Friends who go from here, let them bear

The blessing of hope, wherever they fare.

Lintel and windows, sill and wall,

Nothing but good, this place befall.

Magical Cleaning

It stands to reason that our magical tools should be cleansed periodically, and the waning Moon is the best time for that task. Gather up your tools and place them on a clean cloth away from your altar. Assemble a bowl of salt water, a burning smudge incense blend, a smudging feather or fan, some clean cloths and a white candle. Light the white candle and invoke your guardians. Begin a methodic cleaning of your tools, wiping down with salt water those that can be exposed to water without harm, and then passing them through the smoke from the smudge while focusing on clearing and cleansing them from unnecessary influences. For items that cannot get wet, pass them three times through the smoke from the smudge or hold them near to the smoke while directing it with the feather or the fan. Thank your guardians and return your tools to their proper places.





Cleanse Your Space

Early in a new year is a good time to physically and magically clean your personal space. Your space may be your home, a specific room, a workplace, or car—anyplace where you spend a good deal of time. First, clean the area of clutter, dust, etc., and arrange things the way you like them. Next, make a mixture of water and herbs, either in a mist bottle or in a bowl. Combine 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and a pinch each of dill weed, rosemary, and mint. Depending on the size of your space, you can double or triple the mixture (you can use dried kitchen herbs). If possible, allow the mixture to sit in the sunlight or a warm location to blend for a few hours, then spray the mist around your area or sprinkle it with your fingers or a brush as you visualize the area being fresh and clean.

Wishing on a Star

The Moon is cresting in Aquarius. In the Major Arcana of the tarot, the Star card corresponds to this zodiacal sign. The Star can represent hope, faith, and the promise of a guiding light. Try this simple tarot spell if you need a wish granted and there’s a cloud cover in the night sky. Perch the Star card upon your altar. Light a lavender candle as the crescent Moon rises. Quieting your mind and softening your gaze, allow the vision of the eight-pointed star to become a beacon of sparkling light, glimmering in the twilight. Point your wand or right index finger directly at the star. Feel its warm magic and begin to chant:



Star of wishes

That come true,

Light my way

And guide me to

A vision of

My future prize.

Illumine where

My fortune lies.



State your wish and wait for the answer by closing your eyes, breathing into total relaxation, and engaging your intuitive voice. Hear it whisper to you.





Dream Pillow

all things are possible during dreaming. It has been called the gateway to power and has been used to gain insight and foreknowledge for thousands of years. Dream pillows are a wonderful way to jumpstart the kinds of dreams you want to have. All you need is a small cloth bag that can be closed (or stitched) completely and the right herbs. Then put the bag under your pillow and leave it there while you sleep. For gentle dreams, place lavender, rose, and chamomile in your bag. For visionary dreams, use lavender, passionflower, and nutmeg. If you want happy dreams, try mullein, lemon balm, and elderflower. And if you are looking for passion in your dreaming, add rose petals and jasmine flowers with a few drops of sandalwood pure essential oil.





Votive Candle Offering

St. Lucy is depicted in a white gown, crowned with glowing candles and bearing sweets and coffee or mulled wine. Treat yourself to something sweet and make a votive offering. The simple act of lighting a candle can be a profound spiritual expression when accompanied with sincere intent. Most of us light candles so often that it has become routine. But this time, be mindful of what light gives us, what your candle stands for. Recall how it must have felt to discover fire. Imagine how awe-inspiring it must have been to behold something so powerful and mysterious long ago. Candles have been part of spiritual traditions for centuries; votive actually means “offering.” Tonight, light a candle for something meaningful to you. If you make candles, pour a special one for today.
