Spell to Rid the Home of Negative Energy

Tools:

Sage (basil can be used as an alternative)

When:

During the waning moon

To cleanse a room, light the sage and pass the smoke over the walls, into the corners, in the closets, and any nooks and crannies where shadows and energies can gather. 

Pass the smoke along the frames of doors and windows.

Hold your intent in your mind as you do this.

*a sage wand is ideal; look for smudging tools

Get Rid of Bad Habits

We all have at least one bad habit that we'd like to lose, so why not try a little witchcraft to help us beat it. Try to perform this spell on a Saturday night if you can. All you need is:

• A black candle • Clove, sandalwood or cedar oil • Something sharp to inscribe the candle • A smooth piece of onyx or jet

Use your something-sharp (not your athame though), to write what your bad habit is on the candle. You don't have to be too descriptive, it's just a representation. Anoint the candle with the oil you are using. Light the candle and say the following:

Unwanted habit, please be gone Leave me when the candle is done Candle burn to remove all ill By the power of my will

Concentrate on your bad habit and how it makes you feel, see it burning away with the candle flame. Leave the candle to burn down until it is finished. Leave the stone by the candle while it burns. When the candle is burned away, carry the stone with you to remind you of your goal.

Garden Spell

Since plants are so closely tied to the Earth, they respond very well to the four elements. In this spell, we'll use crystals to bring the elemental energy into your garden.

1 piece of garnet or tiger eye (fire)

1 piece of amethyst or clear quartz (air)

1 piece of jade or lapis lazuli (water)

1 piece of jet or aventurine (earth)

A compass

1 green or brown candle

Use the compass to find the cardinal directions, and bury the stones at these points:

fire to the south air to the east water to the west earth to the north

With each burial, repeat "By the 4 powers, my garden flowers". After the stones are in place, set the candle in the center of your garden area. Make sure there is nothing flammable around it, and light it. Say the words four more times, and visualize a healthy circle glowing around your garden. Let the candle burn for a few minutes and then put it out.

For the rest of the year, make sure to give proper care to your plants, and you should have a wonderful garden.

Blessing Spell

If you want to send out good fortune, good luck or good health to a loved one, use a white candle to perform a blessing spell for that person.

Write down a blessing on paper, focusing on the particular area you want to help your loved one with, such as “May my best friend Dawn be blessed with a child of her own. Please give her the gift of new life.”

Carve the name of the person into the candle.

Anoint the candle with blessing oil or holy oil.

Light the candle and recite the blessing. Focus your intent on the words you have written.

Pinch out or snuff the candle flame.

Repeat the spell for seven days or longer if desired. Re-anoint the candle once a week.

Ghost Removal

If you feel you are being bothered by an unseen entity in your home, try this simple spell to make it leave.

Fill a bag or container with sea salt that you can carry with you.

Light a white candle and place it in your right hand.

Grab a handful of salt in your left hand.

Begin walking backward into each room of your home. Sprinkle salt in the corners and chant while you’re walking, “Spirits leave this place and never return.”

Make your way to the northernmost corner of your home and snuff out the candle.

Anointing the Candle

Prior to performing any spell, the candle should be anointed. This is typically done with a small amount of natural oil such as grapeseed, virgin olive, cinnamon, almond or jojoba oil. Some spells such as blessing or protection spells may call for blessing, holy or protection oil. Rubbing oil on the candle with your fingertips infuses the candle with your energy and intention. The oil should be rubbed on the outside of the candle in one of two ways:

Start at the top of the candle and rub the oil downward toward the middle. Next, rub oil from the base of the candle toward the middle where the first coat ended.

Start in the middle of the candle and rub oil toward the top and then toward the base.

To Help a Person in Need

Write down all of your healing wishes, including how you want that person to feel and what body part or ailment needs to be corrected. For example, “With these healing thoughts, I wrap Grandma Betty’s arthritic hands in a blanket of God’s healing light, removing all inflammation and easing her pain.”

Carve a symbol representing the person into the candle.

Holding the candle, ask the higher power of your belief to empower the healing energy you are sending out. Create a mental image of the person you are helping looking happy and healthy and focus your intent as long as possible.

Light the sage bundle.

Pass the candle, bowl and letter of intention through the smoke to cleanse away any negativity surrounding the person you are helping.

Place the letter in the bottom of the bowl.

Rub honey around the top half of the candle, starting in the middle and working your way up.

Start at the point where the honey begins and rub lavender oil around the bottom of the candle, working your way down.

Place the candle on top of the letter.

Pour a ring of salt around the candle and add some sage and mint.

Pour a small amount of spring water into the bowl.

Add the flower petals to the surface of the water.

Light the candle and visualize the person being surrounded by healing white light. Focus on the candle’s flame and recite a short incantation about sending white healing light, love and blessings to the person in need. Include the person’s name in the chant.

Allow the candle to burn itself out if possible. If not, snuff out the flame. Relight the candle and repeat the incantation over a period of several days if desired.

Once you are done with the spell, bury the remaining materials in the ground.

Tips for Spell Casting

When using candles to perform rituals or cast spells, always make sure your reasons are justified. Do not cast spells with the intent of revenge or harming others, as this can come back threefold on you. Always extinguish the candle’s flame by snuffing it out. Never blow the flame out, as this will disperse the energy contained within the candle.
