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

Energy and Protection Spell

For energy and protection, gather some sea salt and red chili powder. Set up sacred space in your usual manner and invite the spirits of the place to join you. Have a bowl of warm water on your altar and burn cedar incense. Add the sea salt and chili powder to the water. Stir it three times while asking the spirits to bless you and your home with renewed energy to create an honorable life and protection against any unwanted energies, thoughts, or foreign beings. Starting in the east, go around your home, sprinkling a small amount of water in each room. If possible, sprinkle a small amount of water around the outside of your home or at least around the front door.

Bury Your Old Self Spell

Here is an easy spell to rid yourself of negative  qualities.



If you are bothered by an aspect of your personality
that you would like to let go of, then take a new
potato and a knife (or your athame) and carve the
potato into an image that represents this aspect to
you. At midnight, take the carved potato out into a
field (or wherever you can find relatively undisturbed
dirt) and bury it in the ground.

As you do, repeat these words:



"With this image, I

consign this aspect of

myself to my mother the Earth.

As this image returns to the Earth,

this aspect of my personality

dissolves into my psyche

and is transformed into

new capabilities"



You're done. As the image under the earth dissolves,
so will the quality you want to be rid of!

Breaking Winter Doldrums Spell

All I have been seeing is snow, snow, &  snow and its only January 26.  So while I am waiting for a "thumping" of snow, as our weather forecast is calling for I came upon this little spell.    I think - just in time for me.

January is rough. It’s cold and dark, and winter doldrums can set in. This is just the right time for a spell of creativity enhancement. Everyone is creative. Some can sing and dance, others have a green thumb or a way with animals. Some are wordsmiths or good cooks; others are good at magic. Begin by drawing a symbolic picture of yourself with some images representing the talents you’d like to develop. Draw yourself writing in your journal, or taking photos, or working in your garden. Next, create a small altar in a place that you see every day. Place the drawing on your altar with some other items symbolizing the talents you wish to enhance. Be creative with this—use a packet of seeds, a paintbrush, or a favorite CD as symbols. Wednesday is Mercury’s day, of new beginnings and creativity. Light a yellow candle, visualizing yourself doing what you love. Each day take some time, even if only a few minutes, to practice your talent. Place offerings on the altar—flowers, fruit, wine, stones—that further symbolize your resolve to nurture your burgeoning talents.

Draining Negativity Spell

Boy, could I have used this spell last year,  this is a keeper.

To rid yourself of excess negativity, pour a cup of dark, old liquid such as stale coffee or tea into an old paper cup. Send all that’s bothering you into the cup, visualizing the bad energy leaving you and flowing into the liquid. Turn on the faucet at the sink, and pour the liquid into the drain. Say these or similar words:

Drain, drain, drain away,

All my pain and strain leaves today.


Watch it swirl away, out of your house and out of your life. Let the water run for a while, then toss a pinch of salt into the drain to purify it. Burn or throw away the paper cup. This spell is best done on the dark of the Moon, but is effective anytime.

MAGICKAL CLEANSING AND LIFTING A 'CURSE'

If you have been suffering from a series of mishaps or bad luck,

there are things you can do to turn it around. The first thing I

advise is to clean the cobwebs out - literally! Clean up your room, your

office space, your whole house if you can. Do as much of the following as

you can:Get rid of clutter. It develops an atmosphere of stagnation and

prevents movement, both literally and symbolically.



Visualize yourself Turning out all the unwanted energies from

your life, ridding yourself of negativity and doubt and fear. Open

up all your windows (and doors, if possible). It's best to do this on a

sunny day,naturally. Throw them wide open to receive the cleansing and

blessings of the sun and wind.



Wash down as many washable surface areas as you can with some

kind of liquid on which a blessing has been performed. You can use

an elaborate ritual blessing or something quick like 'Lady and Lord,

bless this water for purification, protection and love.'

Suggestions: water in which some chopped-up lemons have been

steeped overnight, or rosemary infusion; either one smells good as

well as adding a nice protective touch.



Next, cleanse the area with a purifying incense; you can use a

blend, or one of the following alone: cedar, frankincense, copal,

gum arabic. If you can't stand the smell of incense, use an essential

oil burner, carried on a tray or in a baking dish to guard your hands.

Use purifying and protective oils; I like a few drops each of

sandalwood, frankincense and myrrh, and a drop of lemon.



Walk through the entire area, holding the incense/burner up so

that its fragrance penetrates every corner. I sometimes like to

sprinkle blessed salt water about, and to set white candles burning merrily

in every room (do this *after* closing the doors and windows!).

You can add a chant while sprinkling/fumigati ng/ lighting; I

like 'Banished be, negativity!' , it's short but to the point.



Finally, when the area smells all clean and holy, looks clean and is blazing with

light, sit down and enjoy. Eat something, preferably something bready; you'll

need it after all that work, and it'll help ground you in your newly

cleansed space.



Once all this is over and you've recovered from the work, cast a few

spells to get things moving, and to pull some good fortune your

way... such as a Good Luck Spell.



GOOD LUCK SPELL

It's best to perform this one while the moon is waxing.

For this spell you'll need a candle to represent yourself in

whatever color you think appropriate, a gray candle, a black candle

and an orange candle.



Light the candle that represents yourself and say: 'This is me,

me in all things'.

Light the black candle and say: 'This is all the bad luck that

has dragged my footsteps. Trouble, disappointments and tears are

here. This bad luck now leaves me forever.'



Light the gray candle and say: 'All that was bad is neutralized.

All my bad luck is dissolved.'



Light the orange candle and say: 'This is the energy coming my

way, to get my life moving and speed up the change.'



Sit quietly for a while and visualize the negative energies

being whisked into the gray candle and dissolved into empty

nothingness. Visualize the orange candle drawing good energy and good luck

towards you, see the air stirring about with possibilities and opportunities. Let

the candles burn down completely (take the usual safety precautions) .

Travel Flow Spell

When traveling for business, pay attention to the flow of energy. You go and return; you exchange power with other people. It’s all about building connections. This spell enhances positive energy flow. For it, you will need a pair of candles—one representing yourself and the other representing whomever you’re going to meet—some gold yarn, and a lighter. First, name the candles for yourself and your business partner. Set them up and wrap the yarn around their bases in a figure-eight pattern. Light the candles. Now say:



Golden thread and golden light,

Spin a trail of truth and right.

As we follow, let us see

All the worth in you and me.

As the shadows softly fall,

Let this trip bring good for all.



Meditate for a while on your trip’s purpose, then blow out the candles. Carry the string with you when you travel.

Healty Habits Spell

Choose an item that represents a habit you want to break today. Wrap it in a black cloth and wrap the cloth with a paper chain. Say in a firm voice:




I break this pattern,

Which causes me such strife.

My self is worth much more to me.

I break this chain and set me free!



Break the chain of paper. Crush the item inside the black cloth if you can. Bury it under a large stone. Keep the chain on your altar as a reminder of your strength.


Well, I guess my item would have to be a chocolate bar, the demon chocolate always seems to have me in its grip and I have been trying for years to break away from it.  I am a weight watchers member and have literary lost 100's of pounds - just over and over again - for the last 2 years I have gained at lost the same 5 pounds week after week.  I am not saying ww does not work - it does - I had successfully lost 50 pounds, but then I gained it back and have been unable to loose it again.  But I won't give up, because giving up would be giving up on myself, and we should never ever give up on ourselves.  Spells like the one above serve as reminders, just like hanging a picture on fridge, it's a positive affirmation of the strength we have, but have forgotten.

Self control is a seed that is planted in all of us, it is up to us how we nuture it.

Spell for locating a lost item

Cast a circle and sit in the middle of it. Visualize yourself on a great map where you are the compass needle.

Close your eyes and allow your vision (inner vision) to go in all directions.

Clearly visualize what you have lost

Try to remember the last time you had it in your possession

Allow your vision to point your inner compass in a direction and when you feel a heat or hot sensation your needle should stop

Look for your item in that direction and chant:



North and South

East and West

Find the source

of my unrest

Help me find

what I have lost

A value

that defies its cost

Return to me

that which I need

As I will

so mote it be

A Wind Spell

The ancient people of the Aegean believed the power of the wind could be harnessed and used to empower their magic. Let the March wind communicate your desires to the unseen realm. To do so, say:


I whisper over the hills and through the hollows,

For I am the Wind, come, if you wish to follow;

Speak to me your spells and magical words,

Or any prayer-all will be heard;

I will carry your dreams to Father Sky,

Far beyond where eagles fly.

To send your wish, rise before dawn;

Facing east before darkness is gone;

Announce each wish, one at a time;

I will be your messenger to the divine.




The wind spirit will help you achieve your goals.

Separating Yourself from a Problem or Person

Small issues can be handled in a magick circle, whereas larger issues

may need a full ritual. Think carefully which is best for the

situation. You will need two black candles, a long black ribbon, black

gloves, scissors, the cauldron containing small amount of alcohol, and a

silver bell. Cleanse and consecrate all items. Dress the candles to send

negativity away from you, then light them. Hold each end of the ribbon

and name the ends. Pass the silver bell over the altar several times,


until you feel you are in tune with the Universal energies of love and

peace. Anger is not a luxury afforded to you in the situation. Put on

the black gloves and say:



"I call upon the energies of Universal balance

I call upon the ancient energies of my people

I call upon the living essence of the Morrigan

Underworld and heaven

Land and sea

I waken these energies unto me.

Witness now that I renounce and sever

Break bonds and connections with ______

By all powers that are One Power

May the great sisters of karma now weave anew

And separate me from you

As I will, so mote it be!"



Cut the ribbon: It is so.


Light the cauldron. Burn both pieces of ribbon.

Money Bowl Spell

For ensuring a smooth, continuous flow of money for household bills and expenses, unforeseen circumstances, a special gift for a loved one, or for gradual improvements in your home or premises, create your very own money bowl. Take a brass or copper bowl and shine it up with some polish and cloth. Name it the “Bowl of Plenty,” and fill it with a handful of cinquefoil or five-finger grass. Add a fistful of silver coins, gold coins, and a few dollar notes. Say the following nine times each morning and each night at exactly the same hour each time:

O Bowl of Plenty!

Ever generously flowing to me.

And as I will,

So mote it be!

Each day, keep adding coins and bills until the bowl is full. Once a month, transfer the bowl’s contents into a cash box or piggy bank and begin this same ritual afresh.

~ S. Y. Zenith

(I have done a similar spell using a  cigar box - but I kinda like this one better, since you keep adding money to it, it kinda becomes a way to save)

Making a Dark Banishing Powder

There is always something we can banish from our lives to help us

function as more complete spiritual beings. Whether it’s a harmful

habit, attitude, situation, or illness, it’s inevitable that something

is almost always keeping us from metaphysical growth. For this reason,

it’s good to keep on hand a banishing potion or powder to use whenever

the need arises. Magic can assist in banishing harmful things from our

lives when used alongside necessary physical care and intelligent

choice-making.



To create a banishing powder, pulverize, grind, and mix

together any combination of the following: sulfur, snake skin, dead

bugs, black pepper, white salt, black salt, red pepper, snail shells,

graveyard dirt, anvil powder, black sand, iron, mullein, sage, and

“fiery” herbs. Keep the powder in a jar and store covered in black

fabric in order to keep energies contained.

Spell to Strengthen the Witch Within

This is a time of the rebirth of the root cultures of many peoples. Ancient wisdoms that were lost orobscured by the power shifts of history are now cominginto light through many channels. Native people arediscovering their rituals, their myths, their shamans. The advances oft echnology are adding to this wave of discovery in many ways, such as through media and communication(take the Internet for instance). The image of the witch is at the root of our cultural past. To embrace and affirm this aspect of ourselves is to tap the power of tradition, longevity, and cellular memory. Once we understand ourselves, harmonys ets in.

In preparing for your spell, first do some serious thinking about just what the image of the witch means to you. Make a list of all her qualities, her powers, her names, how she looks, what she wears, thinks, feels, etc. See her in your mind's eye with as much clarity and detail as possible. This spell should be cast three times, at the new, full, and dark of the month.

Ingredients:

Large piece of parchment paper

Pen

Two purple candles

Moon Oil

Power incense

A small moonstone

Arrange your altar. Carve moons into your candles and anoint them with oil. Anoint yourself as well, on brow, heart, and hands. Seat yourself comfortably and light the candles, saying:

"With this flame, I awaken the Witch within me."

Light the incense. Close your eyes and breathe deeply for a while, relax, and let go. Bathe yourself and your aura in white light. Keep breathing deeply and slowly as you begin to sway and weave, letting your body move into a circular motion. Empty yourself of all distractions and anxieties. When you feel flowing and peaceful, let your imagination fill up with images of your inner Witch. Take up the parchment and pen and make a sketch of her (don't worry about style or quality; the simpler the better).Write your impressions and ideas beneath the drawing. Set this up between the candles so that it is facing you. Take the moonstone and clasp it to your heart. Keep breathing and weaving as you fill yourself with the image on the parchment.Draw the Witch image into yourself, see her multiplied a thousand-fold, vibrating in every cell of your body. Repeat the following incantation three times:

"I am willing to be different and strong

I am willing to be different and beautiful

I am willing to be different and free

I am willing to be different from patriarchy

For this difference

Is the same

Sameness

With the Non-Linear World of Magick

The Goddess

Her forces

My dreams

The moon

My feelings

My creativity

My passion

My deep love

Of all creation...

And the only conforming

I need to do

Is Forming Creation

For I am form

And I am forming

To universal law

And therefore

Must survive...

And even though

I may at times

Feel alone

And misunderstood

I will remember

That I have sisters and brothers out there

Who are learning to be free

Like me

And that I am not alone

But all One

And that free women and men

Were respected

And loved

And will be again

And will be again

And will beI will it to be

I will it to be

And so doth it be

Forever

And ever

So be it

Blessed be"

As you repeat this chant, let your words flow rhythmically as you weave and sway, let your voice create melody. Improvise, make new words if you feel inspired. When you feel complete, slip your parchment beneath the altar cloth. Give thanks to the Goddess and God and snuff out the candles.The moonstone is to carry at all times. Keep it in your pocket, under your pillow, or wear it in a pouch.Whenever you feel the need, hold the stone and rub it with your thumb in a circular motion. Think or say:

"I am safe I am me All is well Blessed be"

Tell no one of this spell until it has come to

fullness. Even as you feel your powers strengthen, it may be best to maintain silence. Be discreet about sharing your magick.

Magickal Cleansing and Lifting a "Curse"

If you have been suffering from a series of mishaps or bad luck,there are things you can do to turn it around. The first thing I advise isto clean the cobwebs out - literally!

It worked!

Last night I did the Spell for Forgiveness in the backyard. First I opened the circle, then lit a pink candle and some calming incense, I chanted the spell several times, and I felt so much better. I could feel my anger releasing. Everytime I start thinking about the incident I chant the spell again, where ever I am and I go back to the moment last night in the yard and immediately feel better.

I sincerely dislike when I get a incident gets caught in my mind and I dwell upon it. It is not a healthy thing to do. Also, Anger is not a good thing. Forgiveness is a gift of gold.

If you want to see the Spell of Forgiveness look at my previous blog.

Thanks, and have a Blessed Day.

Spell to Achieve Clarity and Focus

In order for others to meet our needs, we must first know what we want.

To initiate this process, get a sky-blue candle and some oil of myrrh.

Light the candle and rub your third eye chakra, saying:

By the power of water, I see clearly and divinely. I ask and I seek. My needs are met.

Anoint your throat with the oil, saying:

By the powers of air, I mean what I say. I say what I intend.

Dab some oil on your heart chakra (between the breastbone), and say:

By the power of fire, I know what I desire. I am led by the heart, which joins wisdom with love.

Anoint your midsection with the oil, and say:

By the power of earth, I stick to my dreams. I remain steadfast. I understand what it takes to get me there. So mote it be.

This spell works best under a clear sky, when the Moon is in an air sign.

am I a really a witch?

I decided to address this today, since someone had asked if I really was. I would say for lack of a better term, I am. I was kind of born into it. Different family members exhibiting different "gifts" . Back then healers were called Pow-wow Doctors, there was crazy cousin Miriam, she had the special "sight" from God. My grandmother who did some wierd crazy thing over my son when he was little, which did heal him, she said he was liver grown, whatever that meant. Now that I am older, I realize all these special gifts, could of been called "witchcraft" back then.

Personally, I am into herbs, herbal healing, Reiki and crystals. I seem to have a way with spells and I know I lot of different paths, which I kind of pick and choose from and have developed my own little path. I would not call myself a wiccan, so for lack of a better term, I call myself a witch.

I usually try to celebrate the sabbats and changes of seasons. So next time you see me dancing around the fire, you can say - hey there is Zoey - she's a witch.

To stop a person from causing you harm

I came across this spell today and remembered I had done this one not too long ago.

Light a white candle and your favorite incense. Meditate a short while on the problem.

Invoke the Spirits of Protection for you and yours. Then take a piece of brown paper, like from a grocery bag, on it use a lead pencil to print and write the name of the offending person or people. If unknown people are involved, also print and write, "and all persons unknown that are causing harm to me!" Cross off each line forcefully and say, forcefully, " I freeze name(s) to be bound by this spell, unable to cause any more harm to (name(s)! As I will, so mote it be! " Then put a spoonful of used coffee grounds on the brown paper, fold it small, and place it in the freezer. Leave it until the problem is completely resolved. I wrap a rubber band, string, twist tie, or what have you, to keep the coffee grounds from falling out of the paper. You can also use a zip loc bag. Be sure and burn the candle completely up. Don't use that candle for a different purpose.

To me this spell is more of a binding spell than anything and like anything in magik you must be careful on what kind of spell you do. I did one like this awhile ago when I was being sued for harrassment by someone - I used the spell to try to stop this person from hurting me. They haven't physically harmed me and the harrassment charges where dismissed by the judge so the outcome has been postive however, the person has still continued to be a threat to me. So I used a different path which has seemed to help - I will blog about that at another time.

Another simple spell to do is to simply come up with a one line spell to say - I came across this one today - My will as thou would harm me so be it unto thee. I am not sure if I can remember that if I was being personally harrassed by a person - reminds me of the old, I am rubber you are glue what bounces off of me, sticks to you, LOL!! Now that I remember.

Anyway I know what it is to need protection and to have someone try to continually harm or hurt you. My hope is that one day this person will have to meet with a higher power that straightens them out.

Peace, love and hugs to you this day.

a Good Day Spell

A Good Day Spell by Zoey

Start your morning by looking in the mirror and say:

Then when it is time to drink your favorite brew (mine is coffee)
Vizualize bright blessings into your cup, while stirring it and say

Drink your brew and be on your way.

Always start you day on a positive note, did you ever notice if you wake up grumpy you will stay that way all day. I try to sit up and stretch in bed and think of something good right away. If not, dark thoughts start to creep in right away. Start off postive and stay postive and good things will truly come your way.
