Top of Page Air Purification Spell If you need to get a message through to someone, force an issue, garner some added intelligence, or wish a friend health and happiness, air energy can push your spell work to a speedy conclusion. Use the following incantation for area purification, the cleansing and blessing of supplies, or to invoke air energy into your magick circle: “Air flows pure. Spirit unbound. Inspiration from sky to ground! Realize love with this sound.” Ring a bell 7 times. For a bit of punch, carve the air signs of the Zodiac – Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius into the candle color of your choice and burn during the ritual or spell casting, always asking for assistance from the element of air. Top of Page Altar Dedication “This altar in the circle’s center, A focal point that only good may enter. Erected to God and Goddess in strength, Circular, it has neither breadth or length. Focal point in a circle of power, A mighty lens for every power. Sacred to Lord, Maiden, Mother, and Crone, The foundation of many a powerful cone! Resting place of magick and its implements, Let veneration and love be our only sentiments! A tool of will, powerful and free, As it is willed, so mote it be!” Top of Page Book of Shadows Blessing Hearken as the Witch’s word, Calls the All, a gulf to ford, Bridge the vast realities.

In this way you mix your energy with that of the plant to bring forth a desired response. During this process you must tell the herb or plant exactly what its use will be. This is important -- this is the combined focus of yourself and the spirit of the plant. Philters are mixtures of herbs and oils that are not ingested or brewed. They can be placed near doors or windows. Tape a vial to the table you use for divination. Cooking herbs can be magically empowered, as well. Garlic is a very healthy plant. It assists in preventing cold symptoms. Empower it, and it will have twice its strength. Teas can also be empowered. Those for restful sleep, such as chamomile, can be charged for pleasant dreams. To fully educate yourself on herbs and plants, search the library. Holistic health magazines and books are excellent forms of reference. you can also click here for information on faery plants and herbs, or here for information about faery trees. Top of Page Cooking Blessing By Silver Ravenwolf Put your hands over the simmering pot, and repeat three times: “Three angels came from the east, Bringing blessings upon this feast. The first said, “I banish all negativity.” The second said, “May you never thirst.” The third said, “May you never hunger.” In the name of the three So mote it be.” With your hands (or two wooden spoons) make the sign of the equal-armed cross over the cooking pot, then tap the spoon or you fingers lightly on the stove, saying: “This work is sealed Blessings of Vesta upon us.” Top of Page
