Eight of Swords Incarceration Spell
Because the card in the following spell will be rendered unsuitable for any other use, you may wish to use a color photocopy of it instead. Although the deck designed by that luminary of the Golden Dawn, Arthur Waite, and executed by Pamela Conan-Smith is specified, other tarot decks may be used, if the image on the card is thematically compatible with the spell.
Remove the eight of swords card from a Rider-Waite tarot deck.
Meditate on the image, observing the blindfolded, bound former prisoner escaping from her confinement.
Place a drop of either a Commanding Oil or San Cipriano Oil on the card.
Place it facing up on a dish.
Carve and dress either a plain white candle or a white cross candle to express your desires.
Place this atop the card.
Sprinkle several coins around the candle, as well as dried ground celandine and vervain.
Burn the candle.
