Weight Loss Spell

I came across an interesting Weight Loss Spell - here is what you need:

* A dash of cinnamon
* 1 cup or glass (preferably crystal)
* A dash of salt (any type - I would use pink himalayan salt)
* 1 teaspoon of vinegar (apple cider vinegar would probably be the best)
* 1/2 cup of water

Mix in a crystal glass or cup.   Start with the water, then trickle in the vinegar, while doing so say the following:


Add to this glass from which I drink, the vile taste one would surely think.

Then  throw in a pinch of salt saying:

And a bit of salt to kill the taste, of my life I shall not waste

The toss in a bit of cinnamon saying:

and finally a touch of spice, to make the body slim and nice

The swirl the mixture together and raising up above your head and say:

With this potion I do ask guide me to goal
ease my hunger and soothe my  soul
strengthen my resolve as I wish, so mote it be

Drink up.

Now what I like about the spell it actually some good advice.  Vinegar has been used for weight loss.  Actually this is a practical drink to have to stimulate the liver.  You could substitute Lemon Juice, that would be my preference and I would probably prefer this warm.

Mantra for New Beginnings

Om Gum Ganapatayei NamahaOm Guhm Guh-nuh-puh-tuh-yea
Nah-mah-hah


The mantra above is traditionally chanted to start new endeavors with positive energy and to remove obstacles.

Have you been meditating, I am still not into the swing of it.  Tomorrow is my assigned day off, so I am determined to start my day with meditation.  I have been doing some mini-medi's I call them.  Moments in the bathroom or in the car when I practice some mindful breathing.

I need to cleanse my mind, body and soul.  Need to do some soul searching and some changes in the diet.  I need to balance myself again.  My energy or Qi is not flowing correctly.  I can feel it.  I am sluggish, feel bloated and have no get up and go. 

To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. ~Buddha


Here's to you and I enlightening on a journey of mind, body and spirit. Love & Light, Zoey K.

Spell for Energy Renewal

Start with 3 or more white candles.

Light your candles around you in a dark room, in any fashion. Sit in the center of it all. Clear your mind.

Take your energy and let it flow out of your body. Let it all out. Now let your emotion fall out of you, into the ground. Keep going until you feel emotionless.

Now, when all your energy and emotion is gone, allow the candles to bring you fresh energy. Enjoy the warmth of the flames. Bring the flames into you. As you do this, let each emotion return little by little.

Afterward you should feel better emotionally and feel like you have new power.

Have a blessed night.....Love and light, Zoey K

A New Chapter

When I was little, I use to think that every life had a book attached to it and some Master Force, or Angels or whatever read that book and as we lived each day they turned the pages of the book and read the next page.  Our life is full of many chapters.  School, Graduations, Weddings and Jobs.  I thought that when the book was over, we perished from this life. 

Now I wonder where I am in that book right now?  How many chapters are left?  I feel that someone has turned the page and it's blank, waiting for me to fill it in. I've been in a limbo for a year, working part-time not knowing if I had enough to pay the bills, taking from my savings which I thought would be for retirement or those little things that come up when you own a house.  But now that is all but gone and I need to recharge, re-do and re-write some pages.  The life I thought that would exist until those glory days of retirement are not what I thought they would be. 

In the long-awaited change of winter to spring. Seeds sprout, flowers bloom, and the sun warms the earth. There is a sense of renewal and new life all around. While winter was a time to conserve energy and reduce activity, spring is a time of regeneration, new beginnings, and a renewal of spirit.  Maybe that is why I am feeling the way I do.  Spring is around the corner and actually the flowers are already starting to peek out from the ground. 

So let's think like a seed.  I need to get more sunshine, air and water.  Things that we sometimes cut back on in the winter.  I need to mindfully poke my head out of the house and just stand and mindfully take in fresh air and sunshine.  Feel the wind on my face and when warm enough the ground under my feet.  I need to become grounded again in life.

So if you are following with me.  Let's get outside, mindfully salute the sun, the air and mother earth.  Breathe.  Feel every breath go in and out. 

This is a good start.  Zoey K

Cosmic Forces

The urban dictionary defines Cosmic Forces as"

"A collection of preternatural, sentient entities, believed to conspire to turn the course of one's fate for the worst, picking especially on those in a romantic relationship who are content. Reputedly repelled by destroying a prom dress."
I find that humorous, and it brings my thoughts to Carrie, the movie, of course.  But lately I do feel that my "prom dress" has been destroyed by the bucket of blood.  No it is not a romantic relationship that has gotten me down, it is more economical.  I have been laid off for quite a long time and jobs for a good witch are scarce out there.  This hole economic down swing has my cosmic forces spinning into a tizzy and it's time I start to get control of them.  
One thing I am going to do is some research, resume writing and some blogging on here to relieve some stress and perhaps send some good waves of energy out so that in return I can get some good waves back.
So watch for some inspirational motivation from me, Zoey K, as I attempt to grow, so shall you.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY Witchcraft


Sometimes the universe grants you the luxury of dedicated magical space, appropriate tools and supplies, planning time, and everything else you need for elaborate ritual magic. Other times a problem pops up that must be dealt with immediately, right where you are, with little or nothing in the way of tools and ceremony. Magic is wonderfully versatile--and the power lies within the practitioner more than in any tool or ceremony.



You can use magic to solve metaphysical problems or in conjunction with mundane efforts to address mundane problems; it is especially good for preventing small issues from snowballing into a major crisis. Advance preparation helps to make you ready for whatever challenges may come your way. Here are some ideas to get you started.



First Steps



Step #1: Stay calm. In order to respond appropriately to a challenge, you need a clear head. By remaining calm, you can use your magical and mundane skills to best advantage. Likewise, keep everyone else calm. Few situations are so bad that panic can't make things a whole lot worse.



Step #2: Ground, center, and shield. Grounding connects you to an outside power source so you don't exhaust your personal energy. Centering lets you keep your mental feet under you, protecting you from internal stress and making it harder for people to confuse you or push you around. Shielding raises a barrier between you and others, protecting you from external stress due to other people or hostile energies. Together these magical techniques give you a firm foundation from which to work--and after some practice, they can be done instantly with a flick of your will, with no outward sign at all.



Step #3: Identify the problem. Take time to figure out exactly what is wrong, as best you can tell. Is the matter small or large? Magical or mundane? In progress, imminently, or merely approaching? Who does it affect? How did it get started? Ask other people for information, if possible, but also use all of your physical and metaphysical powers of observation. The more you know about the situation, the better your chance of resolving it in a positive manner.



Step #4: Make a plan take time to use your cool head and your observations to decide on a course of action. Don't just do the first thing you think of. Whether you have seconds, minutes, or hours to respond--make the best of that time. Then act on your plan to improve the situation.



Emergency Supplies



One excellent way to prepare for the unexpected is to carry a few simple items that are useful in a variety of situations. These fit neatly in a purse, pocket, backpack, suitcase, the glove compartment of a car, and so forth. Most are inconspicuous, thus unlikely to attract attention from curious onlookers.



Essences and Oils: If you have a favorite flower essence or essential oil for use in a crisis, carry some with you in a perfume bottle or pendant. Bach's Rescue Remedy is a popular choice, a blend of flower essences designed to soothe and balance. For essential oil, consider a "protection" blend, such as Spellbound offered by Kamala Perfumes, ideal for shielding. Magical liquids can be used to draw runes, protective symbols, etc. Fragrant oils and flower essences both represent elemental air, which brings clarity of mind.



Lighter: Even if you don't smoke, a cigarette lighter makes a discreet source of flame. It serves as a representation of elemental fire, which purifies and protects. Of course, if you've got candles, you can also light them; but in a pinch, the lighter alone will work.



Mirror: A compact mirror, signal mirror for campers, or other tiny portable mirrors will suffice; a large one is not necessary. Pointed away from you, mirrors reflect negativity. Just carrying one repels some malicious entities. A mirror also make s a good focus for scrying. In dim light, gaze into the reflective surface and let your mind wander until images form.



Pencil: A wooden pencil makes an excellent magic wand. (A mechanical pencil or a pen can work, but usually not as well as natural wood.) Holding it as you would your regular wand, use it to direct and focus energy. It's also ideal for writing runes, protective symbols, and so forth to affect other objects.



Pentacle: Wear a pentacle for protection, preferable under your clothes next to your skin. It is also a place to store magical energy. Fill it up during a quiet time, and you'll have that energy available when things get tense. Magical tools can be charged in many ways including energy manipulation, repeated ritual use, and leaving them out in sunlight or moonlight. A pentacle represents all the magical elements combines.



Salt: This representation of elemental earth purifies, protects, and blesses. Salt repels or banishes many hostile energies. Sprinkle it dry or mix it with water. In either form, salt can be used to trace wards or protective symbols. Draw a circle with salt or salt water to keep out unwanted influences. Dabbing it on a lock discourages anyone else from messing with the lock, and protects the locked item or space. The easiest and most discreet way to carry salt is to save those little paper packets used in fast-food restaurants.



Stones: Many semiprecious stones have magical qualities. Wear them as jewelry, carry them on a key chain, stash them in the glove compartment of your car, etc. At a minimum, carry a quartz crystal, which adapts to serve any magical purpose. Other good choices include: amethyst (increases psychic powers), garnet (gives courage), aventurine (calms), jade (brings luck), obsidian (protects), jasper (aids with grounding). Any ordinary rock can represent earth or assist grounding, too. Hold the stone and concentrate on your goal to activate a stone's magical qualities--although some qualities tend to be active continually, like protection or luck.



Thread: Lighter and easier to conceal than rope, thread (or string) works just as well for knot magic. With it you can work a quick charm to bind an enemy, tangle the path of a pursuer, slow blood loss, bind or loosen the wind--anything traditionally done with knot magic. To bind, slow, stop, or prevent something, tie one or more knots in a thread. To release, set loose, or open something, untie one or more knots. To obscure a trail, tie a tangle of thread and drop it where a pursuer will step on it. A traveler's sewing kit contains several different colors of thread, and the smallest kits fit in the palm of a hand. A stray thread pulled from your clothing also works.



Water: In all forms, water purifies. Running water forms a protective boundary, and ice binds. To banish something, draw it or write its name on a piece of toilet paper, and flush it down a toilet. To cleanse yourself of unwanted energies, go to the nearest restroom and wash your hands. Water is usually easy to find even if you don't carry it. Still, bottled water or a perfume bottle of water is easy and unobtrusive to keep with you. Of course, it also represents elemental water.



Inconspicuous Magic



Some types of magic are flashy. Others are discreet, giving little or no outward sign of their presence. Inconspicuous magic is often faster because it relies more on the caster and less on outside tools. Also, magic works on the caster and less on outside tools. Also, magic works best when given a framework to support it, so it's easier to layer a shield over an existing wall than to create one in midair. It's easier to shift probabilities to match your mundane actions than to make something happen by magic alone. This also helps hide magic by providing an alternative explanation- -instead of "witchcraft" you're benefiting from "favorable coincidences. " (One definition of magic is coincidence control.)



Energy manipulation is the most basic type of magic. You simply grab the power and shape it into the form you need. Mold it into a wall or bubble to shield yourself or others. (Do not try to stop onrushing energy and objects directly, just deflect them harmlessly to one side.) To clear negative energy from an area, imagine a wind or broom sweeping it all away. If you need to pass quickly through a crowd, shape your aura into a wedge and extend it ahead of you to move people apart. Energy manipulation comes entirely from inside you, so there's nothing for nonmagical people to notice.



Folk charms include a wide range of simple actions and objects, each creating a specific effect. A penny in your shoe for wealth, an obsidian bead on your cell phone to protect it from loss or theft, a four-leaf clover for luck--these are all passive folk charms that require no action from you to do their thing. Making a fig hand (thumb between first two fingers) to avert evil, tying a knot to calm a storm, scuffing your shoe on a threshold to shed hostility--these are active charms that are easily concealed, perhaps behind your back or under a table. Another option is to layer such charms over a similar action required for mundane reasons; for instance, if you're wrapping gauze over a cut, concentrate on stopping the bleeding when you knot the bandage in place. Most of the items mentioned previously in "Emergency Supplies" can be used in folk charms.



Meditation works well in any situation where you need to wait for something to happen, stay alert, or remain calm for an extended period of time. You can meditate by focusing your attention on a sound like a ticking clock or a soothing phrase; by staring at a pattern, such as a scrollwork carpet or the dance of shadows under a tree; and so forth. the "alert" version works by spreading your awareness evenly throughout your environment, noticing everything but not focusing on anything--until something requires a response, when you will be ready to act immediately. Meditation keeps you from exhausting yourself with worry, and recharges your energy after working magic or other exertion. Being completely internal, it tends to be undetectable.



Prayer serves a similar function to meditation. It soothes, heals, and restores energy. But unlike the other forms of magic discussed here, prayer asks a higher power for assistance rather than creating the desired effect through the practitioner' s own will. It requires the least amount of effort, making it more useful when you lack the energy for anything more exertive; and it needs no outward sign, although you can add some (such as a hand gesture or a holy symbol) if you wish.



Symbols represent a certain energy or goal in a visual pattern. Good symbols for emergencies include algiz (shield), Eye of Horus (protects against the evil eye), lightning bolt (power, success), nauthiz (need, petition for aid), om (meditation) , peace symbol (neutralizes hostility), pentagram (protection, containment) , raido (safe travel), and Thor's hammer or tau cross (averts misfortune). Symbols may be traced in the air, drawn with a pencil, or traced on objects using magical liquids such as essential oil. The above symbols and uses will fit on an index crd, which can be folded and kept in a wallet or glove compartment for reference.



Visualization is a technique used to facilitate many magical effects. It involves forming an intense sensory image--visual, auditory, tactile, etc.--of what you wish to happen. For instance, when manipulating energy to make someone leave you alone, you might imagine yourself concealed by fog and the bothersome person walking away. For safe travel on icy roads, you could throw down a pinch of salt while imagining the ice melting and your car tires gripping the road securely. The harder you concentrate, and the more detailed your visualization, the more effective it will be.



Wherever you go, you will find challenges-- and a little magical preparation will help you to meet them gracefully. Practice with different techniques and tools so you'll learn which ones work best for you. Then when life sends you a "red alert," you'll be ready!

7 Ways to Remove Negative Energy in the Home




We all can appreciate the beautiful healing energy of spending time in nature, away from civilization. But eventually we have to come home. When we compare the sense of peace and connectedness we feel in nature and to the stress and noise and bustle of city, we know internally that there is a difference. Part of the difference is the energy programmed into the physical objects of these places. Nature in general has more positive energy than our homes or cities.



Reasons Nature's Energy is Positive

• There are less people around in nature, so it is more isolated from people's thoughts. Thoughts are energy. Thought energy attaches to the physical objects near the origin of those thoughts. Negative thought energy creates stronger energy patterns and remains longer than positive thought energy. Worry, fear, and stress last longer than love, peace and happiness.



• Sunlight is a stream of positive energy that washes away any negative energy. It's like pouring cold pure mountain stream water onto a sponge. The sponge is rinsed of anything it has collected. When was the last time you were depressed after a day at the beach.



• Nature is usually filled with plants. Plants give off positive energy. They are alive so they put out a positive vibration, but they don't really think so they don't put out any negative thoughts the way people do. Plants don't' worry about jobs, or bills or relationships.

Before we can start filling our homes with positive energy, we need to remove any accumulation of negative energy.

So here is a list of seven simple proven techniques that you can use to remove negative energy from any space:



7 Ways to Remove Negative Energy



1. Salt carpets. This is the simple easiest best way. Simply sprinkle dry table salt on the carpet, wait an hour and then vacuum the up the salt. Use approximately 3 to 6 spoonfuls of salt for a medium size room. Salt crystals have an amazing natural built in-ability to erase the programming of energy. Using salt is like using an eraser on a chalk board. The information on the board is wiped away.


2.. Remove clutter. Things like old magazines and dirty clothes can trap a lot of negative energy in your house. Remove old items you no longer need. Keep coffee tables picked up and clean. Put your laundry in a laundry hamper. Wash your dirty dishes and put them away. Negative energy needs objects to hang on to so it can remain around.

3.. Loud noises. This is the reason the Chinese love fireworks. Loud noises break up energy patterns and allow them to disperse. Mother Nature does the same thing with the noise of thunder storms.

**A Zoey Note - my Grandfather would say that a early spring thunderstorm would wake up the ground and he would plant his onions and potatoes then. 


4.. Play spiritual music. My favorite is the album Eric Pepin album "Deep Resonating Aums" from the Higher Balance Institute. A close second is the song "God is Real" from Krishna Das on his "Door of Faith" album. Buddhist monks use tingshaws to dissipate unfavorable energy. You can use your stereo with the same effect. Combine this technique with no. 4 and a great pair of speakers for a really deep cleaning.



5..Meditate there. A proper meditation once or twice a day in your living space will broadcast out a powerful positive vibration. A broadcast from a meditative state of mind becomes much more powerful than it would otherwise be, making positive energy more powerful than negative energy. A proper meditation will saturate a space with uplifting energy for several hours.



6.. Rearrange the furniture. The Chinese practice the art of Feng shui. Again negative energy needs something to "cling to." Arrange your space with as much wide open space as possible, allowing any negative energy to disperse. But also the act of rearranging will cause this harmful energy to dissipate.



7.. Add living plants. Plants add color, life, oxygen and positive energy to your home. All good things to have. But only if you water and maintain them.
