What you'll need:
* An altar
* 5 Black candles
* As many of the following as
you can find: nuts, pine cones,
apples.
* Dry, dead twigs
* A bowl of water
* 1 white candle
* 1 Apple
* Grapejuice (or wine if you can)
STEP 1: Setup a peaceful and
serene environment free of
distraction. Even start some
soft and soothing music if
you wish.
STEP 2: Make sure the room is lit
only by the light of the candles.
(If you need to, feel free to
setup some candles elsewhere
in the room so you have enough
light.) (Do not light the white
candle yet...)
STEP 3: Cast your circle as
normal.
STEP 4: Once you are done, sit
peacefully at your altar and think
about people in your life who have
passed away that meant a lot to
you.
Visualize your past experiences
with them...allow yourself to
get emotional...
Then visualize them sitting there
with you now. Holding up your
spirit...touching your heart.
Remember them... love them.
STEP 5: Now think about the
thousands of us who are with you
now...adding our energies to
yours. All working together
towards a common goal of happiness
and prosperity for you... and
for us.
(If you stare hard enough, you
may see your candles grow
brighter at this moment... this
is a good sign.)
STEP 5: Stand up at the center
of your circle, and face west.
Slowly say the following words:
"The Lord sailed slow into the
west, the Lady waits and weaves;
Time of darkness, bald branch,
bare earth, brown leaves."
STEP 6: Think about all your
problems and mistakes... and
all of the things you need to
let go of in order to make
room for something else.
Something positive... something
wonderful.
STEP 7: When you are ready,
say this:
"He lets go, I too let go, embrace
the coming dark;
I open palms and loosen grip
on all that must depart."
STEP 8: Open your palms and
imagine all the unwanted
negativity in your life
dispersing like seeds upon
the land.
STEP 9: Next, snuff out all the
candles on your altar except for
one.
STEP 10: Sit in the center of the
circle and meditate. Call upon
your beloved ones who have died
to keep you company if they
wish.
STEP 11: Now, gaze into the bowl
of water. Make sure you can see
the single flame dancing as a
reflection.
(This is called "scrying".)
Look for images in the bowl
of water as you stare into
it... parts of your future
may be revealed with the flame
as your guide.
These should be moments of
peace as you gaze into the
underworld and it's secrets.
Take as much time as you like
here, and allow yourself to
be lost in wonder.
STEP 12: Now, light your white
candle.
Stare into it's light and say:
"In shadows deep we clearer see,
the light that flames within;
In darkness whirling, stirring
round, see, new life now begin."
STEP 13: Next, use the white
candle to light all of the
black candles you had snuffed
out.
Feel each one you light surge
with increased power and
heat.
STEP 14: Take your dead twigs,
and one by one name them for
things in your life that
need to die. (Like any
bad habits you want to break,
or any little flaws you
feel you have...)
Affirm in your mind that each
twig embodies something undesirable
that must go, for the good of
you and everyone around you.
Set them aside.
STEP 15: Cut the apple in half,
and remove all the seeds and
place them with the twigs.
STEP 16: Eat the apple in
celebration, and drink the
juice (or wine) in honor of
the Goddess and God and the
four Guardians.
STEP 17: Thank the dead that you
feel were there with you.,
STEP 18: Close the circle.
STEP 19: Bury the twigs and
the seeds.
The twigs will disintegrate
over time, and remove the
negative things in your life.
The apple seeds will grow
a new prosperity and happiness
for you and your loved ones.
This special ritual will begin
to draw good spirits into your
life that will help you in
subtle ways over the next
weeks and months...
Plus, they'll be "by your side"
during the Samhain ritual next
Sunday night... be ready for
an amazing experience!
STEP 1: Set up your altar, but do
not light any candles yet.
STEP 2: Blend the essential
oils of anise, basil, frankincense,
lavender, myrrh, and sweet
almond oil. (If you can't find
all of these, it's OK to
blend just 3 of the 5.)
STEP 3: "Dress" (annoint) your
candles with the oil.
STEP 4: Light the candles.
STEP 5: Start some of your favorite
soothing music... it helps to
have something that generates
feelings of happiness, serenity,
creativity, and adventure in you...
STEP 6: Sit calmly at your altar.
Place your palms on your altar.
STEP 7: Gaze at one of your candles,
let it's flame warm your spirit.
STEP 8: Imagine the spirits of
anyone you've lost that meant
something to you... being drawn
to you. (These could be the
same spirits you called on last
week.)
STEP 9: Say:
"Spirits of good, I draw you to
me.
These flames call out to thee.
Come to my side, and we'll join
as friends.
Through the days and weeks, it's
love my heart sends."
STEP 10: sit in calm and peace
for as long as you wish. You'll
know when you're done... open
the circle, the ritual is done.
STEP 1: Setup your basic altar, and
cast your Magick circle.
STEP 2: "Annoint" a small piece of
silver with bayberry oil.
STEP 3: Hold it in your left hand
close to your heart.
STEP 4: Close your eyes and visualize
your desire for prosperity. Think
about exactly how it will feel to
have the prosperity you seek.
The more emotion you can feel,
happiness, excitement, the better.
STEP 5: Place the silver on the middle of your forehead
for 5 minutes every day... and
carry it with you everywhere you
go.
STEP 6: "Feed" the silver with
1 drop of bayberry oil once
a week until your get the
prosperity you seek.
Peform this spell any night before
Samhain to attract your Ghost Guide.
STEP 1: Set up a basic altar, and
include a picture of someone you
love that you've lost (if you have
someone specific in mind... if not
do not include a picture.)
STEP 2: Select something that has
a fragrance you love... or a fragrance
that reminds you of the person
you've lost. (This could be anything:
a perfume, cologne, leaves from a
certain type of tree, a special
type of flower, etc...)
If you're having problems picking
something, sit quietly, close your
eyes and allow your mind to wander
about "fragrances and smells"...
and you'll soon pick the perfect
one.
STEP 3: Make sure the candles on
your basic altar setup are lit,
and sit with your eyes closed and
your hands flat on your altar table.
Say out loud:
"Spirit Ghost you know who you are,
and you know I need you now.
I will help you, and you'll help
me.
On this life long journey,
together we'll be."
STEP 4: Now, present your chosen
fragrance on top of your altar
table. Say:
"This special fragrance is my
gift to you.
May it draw you close and true."
STEP 5: Close your eyes and think
about the deepest love you've ever
felt... it's important to feel
strong emotions here - either
for the Ghost you're calling on,
or for someone else in your past
(or present).
It's important to emit vibrations
of pure and total love... however
you need to do it.
Take 5 minutes to do this.
STEP 6: Next say...
"Ghost Guide, my special friend...
Send me a sign that you've heard
me and then...
We'll be together, joined at the
hip...
Partners forever, in your world
and mine."
STEP 7: For the next few days
try to be as "aware" as you
can be about the surrounding around
your home. You'll see a sign
of love and compliance from your
Ghost Guide...
It's important
to be comfortable with this before
you do it... or you won't get
results from the spell
Step 1: Add five drops of frankincense, five
drops of myrrh, three drops of petitgrain, and
two drops of tuberose to a bottle containing
an ounce of sweet almond oil.
Step 2: Add five drops of mugwort flower
remedy and a tiny moonstone to the bottle.
Step 3: Massage a few drops into the soles
of your feet. Rub one drop over the
"third eye" area of your brow...
...and you'll wake up your inner psychic.
This works wonders, and you'll notice an
immediate increase in your ability to
see what's coming.
STEP 1: You'll fill a charm bag (or
"conjure" bag) with good luck charms.
These could include special figurines
that symbolize luck to you... small
horseshoe charms... 4 leaf clovers... or
anything else you associate with good
luck.
STEP 2: Carve a red candle with your name,
goals, and deepest desires. Also include
any witch names you go by, and any nick
names you've gone by in the past.
Carve it all on the candle. Take some time
with this.
STEP 3: Dress the candle with your favorite
luck attraction oil. I always use frankincense
oil for this one...
STEP 4: Light the candle near a boiling
pot of water, ideally an iron pot or
cauldron.
STEP 5: Sprinkle a small handful of frankincense
powder into the water. Let the steam rise as
the pot of water boils.
STEP 6: Pass your charm bag alternately through
the steam, and the candle smoke 17 times.
Each time it transitions from smoke to steam,
and from steam to smoke, visualize the green
energy of good luck flowing into the bag...
down from the sky... through the window, and
into the bag.
STEP 7: Carry the charm bag with you in your
purse, wallet, around your neck, in your car,
as often as possible...
STEP 8: "Recharge" the luck drawing properties
of the bag once a month, as needed.
