Emotional Cleansing Spell

Ingredients:

Rain water (if you don’t have this, use filtered water or tap water)

Rosemary (just the leaves, no stems)

A few drops of essential oil; use which ever scent that will make you the happiest

A small pinch of salt (you’ll want it to dissolve)

Lavender

Chamomile

A bowl

A wash cloth

Put the water into a bowl. Add the essential oil, the salt and the herbs. Take a wash cloth and rub the spell water on your skin. While doing so, I want you to imagine all of your troubles, all of your baggage being washed away by the cleansing water. You can bathe however much you are comfortable with, whether it be your whole body or just patches. Continue to bathe until you are feeling cleansed and relaxed. If you have water left over, strain the herbs from it and deposit them in the trash, and dump the water outside or down the sink.

Spell to Gain Focus

Use: To gain focus.

Carve an eye into a white candle.

Place a few drops of vanilla extract on the candle top and rub a little bit into the wick. Pay attention to aroma and inhale it deeply.

Light the candle and say: “Quiet, mind, now be still. Focus on what I now will. No scattering or thought dissension– I order you to pay attention.”

Hold a magnifying glass in front of the carving of the eye, then bring the magnifying glass to your third eye.

Say: “Bring clear focus to details Enlarge and bring them to scale Attend each project one by one Grant clarity ‘till work is done.”

Using paper and a writing utensil, make a to-do list in order of priority.

Place the list in front of the candle with the magnifying glass on top of it.

Allow the candle to burn down completely.

Carry the magnifying glass with you and get started on your list.

*If you don’t have much time to wait or the candle to burn down, use a white tea light or birthday candle in lieu of other candles.

(via Everyday Magic by Dorothy Morrison)

[windvexer-deactivated20160501]

This is a small spell to do alone or in conjunction with personal cleansing.

Crossed conditions create a lot of frustrations for a person or situation. If you can never seem to get ahead, if you have terrible luck, or if things just keep going wrong for you for no apparent reason, you may be suffering from crossed conditions.

Ingredients:

A black candle, or any other color your tradition associates with uncrossing. I prefer 7 day candles for a big uncrossing, or smaller candles if there is just a little situation to be worked out. I do not prefer to use white candles because to me they have connotations of healing rather than straightening out.

A purification or uncrossing herb; hyssop is my favorite. Rue works well, or any other sort of herb that is known for uncrossing.

Uncrossing oils, if you wish.

Charge your candle with the intent to uncross yourself. Visualize the threads of your life all tangled up, and give the candle the power to sort them out again. Take your herb and ask it to help with the uncrossing; the plant knows what to do, and can help instruct the spell. If you have an uncrossing oil, dress the candle with it.

If you have dried herbs, burn a little every day that the candle burns so their essence can help the spell. If they are fresh, leave them around the candle like a wreath and recharge them every day (the candle won’t recharge them – the candle is giving off energy to uncross your conditions, not to empower the plants).

If one area of your life, like love or business, is particularly messed up, get a plant that deals with that domain and ask them to help sort things out.

Allow the candle to burn down totally, then discard the remains as well as the plants with thanks for their work done.

To help this spell, and for more immediate results, personally cleanse yourself with a bath or smoke using the same uncrossing ingredients.

Threshold Protection Spell

This is a very simple spell to help keep negative energy from entering your home. Materials:

3 cloves of garlic

A handful of coarse sea salt

A handful of rosemary

Stir everything together in a bowl, and leave on a windowsill during the night of a full moon.

Then, take the bowl outside and spread the salt and herbs around the outside of your front door and any other doors in the house. The main door that you use should get the most of the mixture. For added protection, sprinkle a little on the window sills, too. If you live in an apartment, pour the contents in small bottles and keep them by the front door and windows.

Old Mother Redcap's "Web of Thorns" Curse

This curse is designed to prick and prod at your target, trapping the in a state discomfort and stress. Can be used against liars, those who mistreat and abuse.  Items needed: - Rose stems with prickly thorns (3 or 4 will do) - Some twine - Chili Pepper - Photo of your target Optional: - Strands of the targets hair - Shoe laces/hair ties, etc Create a “spiders web” out of your rose stems. Be very careful when handling the thorny stems! Use thick gardening gloves if you can. Use the twine to tie the stems together, focusing on the centre part, creating a strong hold. Wrap the twine around the stems, muttering your curses. Sprinkle the chilli pepper onto the twine.

Once you have created your web, trap your target. Place the photo of the target in the middle of the web. The next time the target does any form of harmful behaviour, move the photo and place it through one of the thorns.  Keep moving the photo on different thorns if the behaviour continues (or really, whenever you feel like it!)

[fumbletongue]

Financially Harm Curse

To harm someone financially you will only need a few things for a powerful curse.

Cloth

String and Thread 

(Or just purchase a small bag)

Something you associate with fire (pepper, red stones, etc.)

Something to cut with

Actual fire (matches, lighter)

(Optional offering)

First sew a cloth bag or buy one (I’d recommend making your own, its easy and your energy will be in each stitch.

Next  fill the bag with something you associate fire with. Pepper, red petals and thorns, stones anything. Imagine his wealth bursting into flames before him, how he will crumble to ruin as he is financially destroyed. Cut a hole into the bag and pour out some of the “fire”. 

Third chant something along the lines of:

“I am the hole in your pocket, Born of the fire of your misdeed. I am the hole in your pocket, And I will devour your greed.”

After this I would burn the bag entirely to dispose of it. I would also make sure to ward yourself and to do this in a place you wouldn’t mind a little chaotic energy.

Lastly, it may suit you to leave an offering for some pesky spirits that may be inclined to help you.

Enjoy.

*(This can be modified to be a hex simply by altering the chant to something like : “With each poor deed  I steal your greed. With ill wishes and poor health I sabotage your wealth. Your actions hold weight And you will suffer for your hate. You shall not be free, Until you apologize to me.”)

Burn the paper in your cauldron and put the ashes on your bottle, then anoint the crystal with the oil and charge it with your intention. You can either keep it with you or put it in the bottle. Keep the bottle somewhere in your room and don’t throw it away until your spell has succeeded.
