Basic Working Spell Outline



We all have different ways and routines when doing spells and rituals. Below is a basic guideline suggested by many books and web sites that you may find helpful if you feel that following a structured routine will work best for you, or if you aren't sure where to start and need a guideline. These are not set in stone and can be changed to suit your needs.



Ritual Preparation

Choose a time. Decide the intent. Choose an aspect of the Divine, if you wish. Decide how to raise energy (ie: dance, chanting, drumming, etc.) Choose how to cast and close the circle.



Cleanse yourself and your magickal space.

You can do this with a ritual bath for yourself, or through meditation to still and focus your mind. You can cleanse your space with your magickal broom or with incense or burning herbs.



Cast the Circle



Invocation of the Divine



Statement of purpose

This is simply to tell the Divine why you have called Him/Her to the circle; what you are trying to accomplish.



Magickal Working

Raise energy, through chanting or drumming or however you have chosen to do so. Direct or channel this energy by using candles, herbs, stones or whatever other correspondences you found to fit your specific need. Ground your energy when you have completed the working.



Cakes and Wine (optional)

Eat a small piece of bread or cookie and drink a little wine, milk or juice to help restore your energy.



Thanking the Divine



Closing the Circle

You'll need at least one candle in the color you want to change your eyes to. You also need a pentacle. You can draw a pentacle if you don't have one. A pentacle is a star inside of a circle (see example below. All the fuzzy/glowy stuff is not necessary.)







Light the candle(s) and sit in front of it/them and chant the following three or more times:



"One, two, three, eyes change for me,

One, two, three (color you have now) to (new color) I see."



Take a deep cleansing breath while you envision yourself with the new eye color, then chant this three or more times:



"By the power of three, so mote it be."



Again visualize your eyes changing from their original color to the new color, then check the mirror.



Note: This spell may only last a day or so if only using one candle. And the color of the candle will be the new eye color!

Say these words thrice as you hold the part of body you wish hair to grow...



Stretch it

Twist it

Make it grow

Like a river

Let it flow

Three times fast shall this hair grow

This is my will

So mote it be

What you need: 2 apples, a knife.



Get an apple and cut it in half horizontally across the middle. Once you cut it you will see a five pointed star.



Rub one half of the apple over your face or the affected area. Say this:



"Apple, sacred fruit of the Goddess, With this gift, I do caress

The pimple that brought me shame. I banish this zit in your name."



Get another apple and cut it vertically from top to bottom. Rub one half of this over your face or affected area as well. Say this:



"I love and accept myself as I am today. Clear skin I summon to come my way. By My Will so Mote It Be Three times three times three."



Bury the first apple by a tree, bush or flower that is OUTSIDE. Bury the second apple by water. If you can't find a place like this, just bury it anywhere and pour water over it.

Cast this spell three days or nights in a row when the Moon is waning. If you can't get your hands on fresh vervain leaves, use the dried ones that should be available at a local herbalist. You'll need about a handful of either. The spell is best cast outside. If this is not possible, it can be done indoors, but as it involves a fire, it must be done with great care.



You will need:

Vervain leaves

A well-stoked fire.



Consecrate the wood or coal before lighting the fire. When it is burning fiercely, throw the vervain on to the flames, calling out the name of the person you want out of your life as loudly and with as much passion as you can muster. Follow the name with these words, which should also be said with passion:



I need you not.

I want you not.

Leave my life now

And come back never.

And it harm none, so be it.



Spend a minute or two visualizing the person's face in the fire's smoke and watch it waft away from you - forever.

Michael Johnstone - The Book of Spells - Positive Enchantments to Enhance Your Life

Used to neutralize the power of those who intend to do you physical harm, or hurt your reputation, or in any way pose a threat to your security.



You will need:

4 tbsp Frankincense or Myrrh

4 tbsp Black powdered Iron

4 tbsp Sea Salt

4 tbsp Orris-root Powder (or oak moss)

1 white candle

1 bottle with a cork or lid

Mortar and pestle

Parchment Paper

Black Ink or black ballpoint pen

Black thread

Mix the sea salt, orris-root powder, and the iron in a bowl. Then cut a piece of parchment to fit inside your bottle and write on it with black ink:



I neutralize the power of (name of adversary) to do me any harm.

I ask that this be correct and for the good of all.

So mote it be!



Roll up the parchment, tie it with a black thread to bind it, and place it in the bottle. Fill the bottle with the dry ingredients. Then take the white candle and while turning the bottle counterclockwise, drip the wax over the cork to seal it. Last, secretly bury the bottle in a place where it will not be disturbed and no animals or people will dig it up. This spell is like a genie in a bottle. It should never be unleashed or the power of the spell is lost.

Meditate during the waning moon. Light a pink candle for self-love. Anoint it with the oil of your choice. Next light a brown candle, engrave the number of pounds you want to loose on it. Then visualize banishing the excess weight. Runes can also be carved on the candle if you wish and incense can be burned. Visualize the smoke taking the excess pounds away!!

An effective candle spell for wealth and prosperity utilizes two black candles since black draws in all color and energy in the universe. Etch your name and the words "money", "wealth", "riches" and any other words of power along the sides of the candles. Then light the candles and grasp them firmly in your hands until you feel your pulse throbbing beneath your fingers, a sign that your aura is mingling with the candles’ auras and that your intentions are firmly grounded in the candles.



Project for what you want, saying,

"These candles bring me wealth and riches."



Say:

"In no way will this spell cause me to suffer any adverse effects!"



When finished extinguish the flame with a spoon, candle snuffer, or your fingers (not your breath, which will change the spell).



Begin this spell on Sunday, Thursday, or Friday as these days honor the sun, Jupiter, and Venus respectively.



Re-light the candles every night until the are completely burned down. Daily repetition will increase the spell’s effectiveness and your own prosperity consciousness.

Best Night: Friday

Best Moon: Full



Things you will need:



1 sheet of lined paper



1 Red pen or marker



1 letter envelope



your favorite perfume



your favorite shade of red lipstick



a few Pink or Red flower petals



Write out the qualities you want in a lover on the sheet of paper using the pen.



Next spritz the paper with your perfume.



Fold the paper and place it in the envelope.



Now take the flower petals, hold them in your RIGHT hand. Envision yourself happy and in love, squeezing the petals tight in your hand. Keep envisioning this scene.



Drop the petals into the envelope. Seal the envelope closed and seal the whole spell with a kiss. Apply the red lipstick and kiss the envelope!!



Place in a safe place. NEVER open it again, if you do this will break the spell.

You will need 1 small, handheld mirror, 3 candles, rose oil, patchouli incense and a little privacy.



Select one color for the strongest effect, or mix and match to get a bit of each:



Red if you are going for sex appeal



Silver if you want to be the center of attention and display star-quality charisma



Orange if you are going for general attractiveness and likeability.



On a night when the moon is full, find a secluded outdoor spot. Light your incense and your three candles. Disrobe and anoint the parts of your body you would like to change with the rose oil. For example, if you think your feet are too big, anoint the tops of each foot. If you are going for an all over make-over, then anoint your forehead, your breast bone, the center of your belly, each wrist and behind each knee. Pass the mirror through the smoke of the incense, then raise it over your head, reflective surface facing the moon.



Recite:



Wood and Wind, Ember and Mist

Grant your blessed child's wish

Sacred Mother charge this mirror

Let your light make beauty clearer

Wrap it in your gentle glow

So that tis all it ever shows.

Lower the mirror and gaze into it. Visualize the way you wish to look, and how you want others to see and react to you. Repeat the following:



As a blossom in your glade

Let my beauty never fade.

Now, use the mirror's reflective surface to shine the moonlight on the place(s) you would like to make more pleasing to the eye. When you are done, wrap the mirror in a dark cloth and keep it safe. If the mirror is ever broken, so also will be the spell. Snuff the candles, dress and let the incense burn out.



For an extra boost, like before a big date, business meeting or audition, annoint yourself again with rose oil and spend 10 minutes gazing into the mirror. While doing so, focus on the things you find attractive about yourself and the things you want others to see when they look at you.
