Remembrance Ritual

Remembrance Ritual

Laurel Reufner, Llewellyn Spell-a-Day, September 11th, 2008

Today marks the eighth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States, leaving more than three thousand people dead and thousands more forever changed. While the attacks struck terror into our hearts, it also brought us together as a country and a world as thousands poured time, efforts, and healing thoughts into New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Today should be a day of remembrance for the tragedies, heroics, and miracles of 9/11. On your altar or other safe place, light a pair of white candles. Then sit quietly, watching them burn, as you contemplate the positive changes brought about by such great tragedy. Visualize and focus on the world becoming a better place of tolerance for one another.

When I despair,

I remember that all through history

the ways of truth and love have always won.

There have been tyrants, and murderers,

and for a time they can seem invincible,

but in the end they always fall.

Think of it - always.

- Mahatma Gandhi - early 20th century

Magickal Water to bring Peace to a troubled home

When the home is beset by constant levels of conflict among family members it is likely that hostile energy has suffused the home. Fortunately there is a simple and inexpensive remedy for this problem which makes use of the cooling energies of a number of different enchanted waters.

Add the following to a large glass bottle with a close fitting lid.-

Two Parts Rose Water-

One Part Sea Water

One Part Rain Water-

One Part Spring Water-

Three Parts of Alcohol-

A Tiny Mirror or Piece of Mirrored Glass

The alcohol may be cane, wood spirit or methylated and is essential as it prevents the mixture turning sour. Alternatives to rose water are anyone of the essences of lily of the valley, lavender, gardenia orgeranium. The mixture should be gently stirred, keeping in mind the mirror in the bottle. The following chant is then said over the mixture, preferably by the light of a blue candle:

"Powers of the sea, powers of the rain, powers of stream and field be yeto the right of me and to the left of me. Be ye before and aft and all about. Flood thy peace into this liquid of the art and bring harmony, blessed concord and tranquility to my home. So mote it be."

At this point you may add a single fresh white rose to the bottle. Walkabout the home with a small dish of the water, sprinkling a little about in each room. Pour a little into a saucer and place it beneath the beds of particularly restless family members to calm and pacify.

Spell for forgiveness

Talk about the universe giving you something you need. I thankful for the following spell that appeared in my email today.

Last night I was at a Nelson\Mellencamp\Dylan concert. Safe to say that it was 11,000 full of overaged hippies, me included. I went to get a pretzel at the break after Willie Nelson, I wanted to take a short cut across the field, I have arthritis in both knees so walking stadium steps gets to be hard. Well, I went down the wrong aisle, so there were 4 people sitting at the bottom walkway and I was going to walk through and the guy on the end puts his cane up to block me, yes his cane; and they all start yelling at me to go back. I was appalled, I could not believe these people who were wearing their peace shirts and being nasty at the same time. So I go one aisle up and say excuse me please to this nice couple with a little girl and they look at me and put there feet up to block me, and I say please excuse me, it difficult for me to walk up steps can I please pass, they say no. So my ass is alot bigger than there ankles and I push through, I get to the end of the aisle and another old hippie in tye dye sits down to block my way so I climb over the stadium seat and fall through the chair hurting my leg. I am so upset with mankind at that moment. All I did through the night was cry at the hate I felt. But first thing this morning this spell is in my email - I intend to say it over and over today and do a ritual tonight.

Please remember, my dear readers, that to make the world a better place we must love everyone and show love to everyone. I probably shouldn't have pushed through, I should of just walked back up, I mean either way my legs were going to hurt, now I just have a big bruise to nurse.

So much for the peace and love generation - I guess they grew up to a world of hate.

Spell for Forgiveness

July 15th,

At times, anger becomes a part of our lives. It can be very easy to allow that anger to remain within and fester into a dark void inside ourselves. If allowed to remain there, it can even grow to become a dominant force in our lives. It is said the only true cure for anger is forgiveness, forgiveness for whoever or whatever brought about the anger in the first place. It is not easy to forgive. It takes great strength and conviction. Some positive meditation time is also optimal.

With a pink candle for emotional healing and some soothing incense, the following chant to the Lady is a good starting point.

After loss, there is gain.

After pain, there is healing.

Let the anger I hold be healed

From within and without

I release my anger toward ________

Anger has no place in my life or power over my heart

All ills are healed, all wrongs forgiven

Let there be peace for now and all time.

So mote it be.
