Long Distance Healing Spell

Sometimes the people we love are terribly far away. Sometimes they get sick, or hurt, or just need some extra energy. Below you will find instructions for one of my long distance healing spell.

You will need:

A picture of the person or animal (as the case may be)
A pale yellow pillar candle
Three pale pink votive candles
Honey
Ginger
Garlic
A large pot (cauldron)
blessed water
A stirring implement couldn't hurt
A glass bottle large enough to place the image of your loved one (rolled up inside...like a message in a bottle)
A full moon
   *a full moon is not essential, but certainly the moon should be waxing, as we are calling health into being rather than banishing the ailment (which would require a waning moon).

First, cleanse and prep your work area however you deem best. Suitably ground yourself and call the quarters. Cast the circle (blah blah blah you know how this goes).

Set the image of the loved one in the centre of the altar. Place the pink votive candles: 12:00, 9:00, and 3:00. The pale yellow pillar candle should go in front of your image to the front of your altar. Place the cauldron or pot (as the case may be) just before your altar so that you have room to work.

Light the candles, beginning with the pink votive at 9:00, and work your way clockwise. The last candle you should light will be the yellow pillar candle. (If you wish, before you light the candles, you may carve various healing symbols and phrases into the candles to add to your intent and the power of the spell).

Pour the water into your cauldron (temperature really matters little) as you do so, visualize healing light and energy flowing with it. As you pour say, "Water pure and gleaming, with health and vitality streaming, rapid run your course, and flush out (insert loved one's name here)'s illness at the source With bright power healing, "

Stirring clockwise pour in 2 tbs of honey. Honey is a natural antiseptic and has many healing properties. As you stir say, "Healing honey, sticky balm, soothing healer and easeful calm. Surround (insert loved one;s name here) with your healing might and swiftly end this wretched blight."

Finally, add the ginger and garlic to the mix, ever stirring (fresh or powdered may be used, but make sure it is chopped finely if fresh). Say, "bulb and root from the earth, bring back to (insert loved one's name here) his/her health and mirth. Your potent power, grant me this hour and with your strength this potion complete."

Roll up the image of your loved one and place it into the glass bottle. Seal this bottle and place into the cauldron. Saying,  "(Insert loved one's name here), I surround you with healing and love tonight to rest by the light of the moon, as the Goddess guard and heal you from above. With this, my spell I do end. I ask the Goddess to heal my sweet friend. And it harm none, so mote it be."

Leave the pot, with the image contained in the bottle, near the window where it will receive the most light from the moon, or even outside if you can.  The work is done. You may clean up your space.

Relaxation

Well my lambs,

This week my final paper for my sociology class is due, and it is stress city here in North Carolina. The school semester is winding down, which means that it is crunch time! I know so many other people are coping with stress. Below I am going to give you a spell to combat it!

You will need:

A clean, quiet, dimly lit place
A handful of white floating tea lights
A large bowl of blessed water
A lavender pillar candle
Some soothing meditation music


Set up your work area as you normally would when casting. Place the white tea lights in the bowl of water. Using a knife carve the word relax into your pillar candle. Turn on your meditation music and slowly and mindfully light all of the candles, lighting the lavender pillar candle last. Take your time to focus on your breathing. When your mind is clear and you are grounded, call upon the Goddess in whatever way seems appropriate to you. When you are ready, say: "Lady, Mother of the gentle Earth, divine orchestrator of renewal and birth, I ask you to help me release all stress. Please free me from this worrisome mess. Worrying a brighter tomorrow does not make. Help me be calm for my own sake. Fill my mind with peace and ease, blow worries away on cleansing breeze.(here, blow out the candle, providing a cleansing breeze for your worries) Minding the rule of three, and it harm none, so mote it be."

I hope that you all have a productive and stress free Monday! Take time to enjoy a good cup of tea or coffee. If it is as cold where you are, as it is here (and rainy too) may warm thoughts find their way into your heart. Brightest Blessings!

Til later,

Magic of Music

Good morning!

I'm currently sitting in my mother's first grade classroom working on my own assignments for college, drowning out the enthusiastic learning of her students with Greg Laswell's How the Day Sounds. Which lead me to think about music and how wonderfully it enriches our lives. How it helps us through the morning grind and gives a little magic to our day.

Music is the earliest known method of communication and remains an integral part of society today. From dropping beats, to beautiful ballads, our deepest emotions and passions are sparked with the magic of music. Music gives us a form of catharsis, a way to release the energies that we build up in our lives granting release and calm. It  builds up soldiers to do battle, gives strength to sports teams, grants wings to dancers, and provides freedom to the human songbirds among us. Music heals, it enlightens, it strengthens, and encourages. It is the oldest voice, our true voice, and a looking glass into our souls.

Music is often used in rituals because it helps those who are casting spells and communicating on the spiritual level to ground themselves and find themselves in that calm place between the physical world and the world beyond.

But it is so much more than that. Music has its own power, its own energy which lends itself so wonderfully to increase our own strength and our own will when doing ritual work or casting spells. It blocks out the negative and the distracting, and pulses with the power that surrounds us.

What kind of music lends itself best to ritual work and spell casting? Well, generally you don't really want to try to connect with the universe on a spiritual level while grooving to Shakira's latest single...I really really vibe her music, but we're more likely to focus on the lyrics than our work, our inner space and our outer space.  Generally soothing meditative music such as chants or even wordless music works best. It soothes and builds at just the right times.

If you don't already incorporate music into your own ritual work, I encourage you to give it a try! If you do, what music do you find makes your rituals into a sense sensation?

Brightest Blessings!
