Spells, rituals and rights.

Yes we're finally here, the fun stuff. But first a not so fun tip.

Choose your gods well. If you are doing a fertility ritual no NOT use a god of death. You and I both know where that will end. People have done it and suffered the consequences.

You don't have to use a specific name so stick to 'god' and 'goddess' if you're unsure. Please.

Next, always cast a circle, even for the 'smallest' spell.

To bring new opportunities your way

You'll need:

Everything for your circle,

I piece of cotton large enough to make a small pouch in white,

white string,

a small piece of paper,

a pen,

a single hair from your head.

This is best done under a new moon and is the quickest spell I know. Have what sort of opportunities you want to attract in your mind before you begin.

Open your circle and get ready to begin. Write what sort of thing you want on the paper, such as “job opportunities” and place in the cotton. Pull the hair and place it on top. Close up the cotton around the paper and hair and tie with the string. All the time thinking of your objective.

Close your circle and carry around the pouch until you feel the benefits. Then bury.

To dispel negativity

You will need:

A feather for each negative action or feeling,

string,

a safe place to work as far from your home as possible.

Open your circle and bind the feathers together, imagining that you are tying each negative feeling to a feather. Next place the feathers down and ask that these negative emotions be carried away from you on the wind. Wait until the first breeze moves the feathers, then politely and gratefully close your circle.

To bring good dreams

You will need:

A handful of lavender (dried or fresh),

A small piece of rose quartz,

A few drops of jasmine oil,

A small blue pouch.

Open your circle and ask for what sort of dreams you wish to bring. Place your ingredients inside the pouch and tie shut. Close your circle and place the pouch under your pillow. When all energy has run out of it or become stale, take out the quartz and purify, then bury the rest.

A ritual for home spiritual spring cleaning

You will need:

Salt and lots of it,

A vacuum cleaner,

Yes that's it. Pick a day when it's warm enough to keep all the doors and windows open. Spread the salt around the whole house and leave for at least an hour with the air circulating around the building. Then vacuum up the salt starting from the center of the house and working towards the edges (and top down) then empty it. This is best just before the bin collection day.

Basic fertility spell

Note: If you do not have the finances or stability to have a baby, don't even try. (I know, common sense, but still)

You will need:

Symbols or items to represent the male and female aspects,

Red ribbon,

A small plant,

A dish of water.

Open your circle. Bring your symbols together and tie them loosely with the ribbon, before placing them in the dish of water. Ask for increased fertility politely before adding half of the water to the plant. Drink the other half yourself (or share with a partner, whoever the spell is to benefit). Close your circle. Remember to care for the plant afterwards.

Healing a broken heart spell

You will need:

Something of the lost partner (not alcohol or anything that would explode or give off toxins in a fire.),

A candle,

Fireproof dish (big enough for the item),

A bucket of water or sand,

And indulgent ice cream.

Open the circle. Light the candle and if you are truly ready to left go and begin healing, set the item alight in the fireproof dish. As it burns imagine them drifting away to a new life and the warmth of the fire filling your heart. Cry if you need to and let go of all pent up emotion. When the fire has burnt itself out breath deeply and feel the air lighten you and bring you renewed confidence and freedom. Close your circle. Then you can feast on your ice cream. (Anything with dark chocolate in is best.)

This one will probably be constantly updated so check back :)
