The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

STEP 1: Create a wreath from at least

one dozen garlic bulbs.



Make sure to use TWELVE garlic bulbs

in the wreath, no more, no less.



STEP 2: Decorate the wreath with

lodestones, pieces of freshly cut

aloe vera, charms, iron beads, and

packets filled with salt, and

mustard seed. (These are all optional,

but use them if you have them for

more protection)



STEP 3: Hang the wreath on your

front door so it radiates magickal

protective power...



So simple yet so effective.

STEP 1: Take a warm bath with cinnamon, mint

and rose petals to improve psychic awareness.



Relax... let the warm sooth you, and consume

you.



STEP 2: Decorate the sacred space with gold and

silver spheres to represent the returning sun, and

wreaths to symbolize the turning Wheel.



STEP 3: Have oak shavings ready as a base for

your incense. Add any other personally meaningful

herbs to this mixture and start burning it before

the invocation to help prepare the sacred space.



STEP 4: Finally, put a candle representing the

sun at the southern point of the circle.



STEP 5: Cover the altar with a pale green cloth -

the color of early sprouts, which represents

continuance. Add red berries for life's blood;

holly; ivy; and pine branches as a symbol of

longevity. The pine also welcomes sylvan spirits

to your circle.



STEP 6: Have a Yule log at the center point,

placing there your God and Goddess candles. Always

keep a part of the candles or the log itself for

future years; this brings good luck, life, health

and providence.



STEP 7: Take up your Athame, butter knife, or

finger and Cast the Circle starting in the West,

the region where several cultures believe the

afterlife resides, the direction of the Dying Sun.





STEP 8: Take a moment to center yourself and

begin to cast the Circle. Visualize a white light

coming from the tip of the Athame and with arms

straight out, turn the blade point out, slowly

turning clockwise the light following you.



STEP 9: When you return to the West bring the

athamé back to you and say: "As above, so

below." As you say this, visualize the light

going above you and below you forming a perfect

sphere.



STEP 10: Light the Goddess candle in the Yule

log, then move to the Northern point in your

Circle. This is the quarter traditionally ascribed

to the season of winter.



STEP 11: Face North and say: "Ancient Mother, I

look for your opulence, but tonight naught but

barren trees decorate the land. In this restful

moment, let my spirit find healing."



STEP 12: Face East and say: "Ancient Brother, I

listen for your winds, but tonight they are still.

In this quiet darkness, help me find inspiration."





STEP 13: Face South and say: "Ancient Father, I

look for your fires, but tonight the embers only

begin to glow more brightly. May this gentle

warmth temper my spirit."



STEP 14: Face West and say: "Ancient Sister, I

seek your glistening tears, but tonight they are

frozen. Beneath this cool blanket, let my emotions

find stability."



STEP 15: Face center and say: "Ancient Ones, I

seek Your face, but tonight darkness surrounds.

Help me find Your spark within to guide my path."



STEP 16: Sit and close your eyes. Let any

remaining tension drain away, then begin listening

to the sound of silence. Smell the aromas of oak

and herb. Feel the latent energy of everything

around you and the magic you've placed there. Know

it as your own.



STEP 17: Listen to your breath and your

heartbeat. Sense the pulse and ebb within as the

same energy without. Listen closely; does it

whisper a message to you? Does it whisper a name?

Do you hear the cry of an animal? Do you hear

words that fill you with energy? Linger in this

place between Earth and stars until you receive a

message. Then return to normal levels of

awareness, and write of this experience in your

journal.



STEP 18: Turn toward the northern part of your

circle. Think of things that you want to banish,

such as bad habits. Say: "I call to the darkness.

Come embrace my __________ (fill in with your

negative characteristics). Take them to yourself.

I release them. As the sun climbs in the sky, take

these things with you in retreat, never to return

to me again."



STEP 19: Turn to the south of the circle, light

the sun candle, and repeat this chant. Let it

naturally grow to fill the entire space with

positive vibrations: "Strong sun, returning sun;

the light burns as the Wheel turns. Strong sun,

returning sun; the shadows fade; my magic bade.

Strong sun, returning sun; the shadows flee, the

magic is free!"



STEP 20: Return to the altar now and light the

God candle, using the Goddess candle as a fire

source (symbolic of the womb). "Sun Father, Your

journey has left you weary. May this light give

you strength to reach toward the heavens again

with warmth and brilliance."



STEP 21: After saying so, go through your home

and light all its candles, lamps, flashlights, or

decorative lights to represent the sun's return.



STEP 22: Face West and say: "Spirit of the West,

thank you for cleansing body, mind, and spirit. As

you go from this place, likewise purify Earth."



STEP 23: Face South and say: "Spirit of the

South, thank you for this warmth of body, mind and

spirit. As you go from this place, likewise

generate love on Earth."



STEP 24: Face East and say: "Spirit of the East,

thank you for this stillness of body, mind and

spirit. As you go from this place, likewise bring

peace to Earth."



STEP 25: Face North and say: "Spirit of the

North, thank you for healing me in body, mind, and

spirit. As you go from this place, likewise heal

Earth."



STEP 26: Face Center and say: "Ancient Ones,

thank you for turning the Wheel that enlightens

body, mind, and spirit. As you go from this place,

likewise edify Earth."



-----------



I know it's got a lot of steps, but they are all important.



If you are worried about "not having the right materials",

do not worry.



You can substitute as you need, and use symbolism as you

need (for example, if you don't have a yule log, use a

fallen tree branch, some twigs, etc...)

STEP 1: Combine 4 parts powdered Sandalwood and

1 part powdered Cinnamon.



You should use enough to fill a small bowl.



STEP 2: Walk out of your doorway, and out to

the nearest sidewalk. If you're in an apartment

or condo...go out of the buliding to the sidewalk.



STEP 3: As you walk back to your front door,

sprinkle this powder behind you. And stop once

you get inside your house.



STEP 4: Forget about this ritual, and go about

your life.... over the next several days, you'll

be pleasantly surprised...

STEP 1: Get a small or medium sized toy

boat. I prefer a wooden ship, but a

plastic toy one can also work.



Make sure it's one that you can put things

in.



STEP 2: Fill it with play money, real coins,

sparkling gems, sparkling beads, and

crystals.



STEP 3: Strategically arrange the boat on

your altar so that it's easy to visualize

your ship arriving at your "home port".



The boat must be pointed TOWARDS you, not

away from you.



STEP 4: Intensify the effect with

green candle burning and money drawing

incense.



STEP 5: While the candles burn, sit at

your altar and visualize a real ship

filled with treasure coming towards

you at sea.



STEP 6: Once the candles have burned

down, place a three of wands Tarot

Card UNDER the boat, and leave it

there until money finds you.
