Wiccan Healing Bath Salts

The concept of magnified reciprocity holds a powerful position within the Wiccan faith. In other faiths one might call it karma or divine justice, but the concept is the same. Casting a spell is like throwing a stone into a pond. It makes disturbances in the surface of the water that ripple outward. Eventually these ripples reach the water’s edge and bounce back. The effect that spell has on others will come back to affect us more powerfully than the one on whom the spell was intended. For this reason any spell which could possibly do harm is considered extremely dangerous and is strongly advised against using. Conversely any spells which can do good are welcome; explaining the preponderance of healing spells in Wicca. One such spell explains how to make healing bath salts that are good for aches, bruises, and sore muscles.

For this undertaking you’ll need a rose quartz crystal, a mortar & pestle, rowan berries, a clean mason jar with lid, a compass, a lighter, a white candle, a pink candle, rose buds (pink for preference), rock salt, and a small pouch.

Prepare a space to work by picking a comfortable spot that you find calming. Clear it of any clutter. You can either work standing at a table or sit cross legged on the floor. Use your compass to face east and light your candles in front of you, but well out of your reach so they won't get in the way as you work. Typically a white candle is representative of the soul and is used when working magic that requires concentration or meditation. A pink candle is representative of healing magics, and should be present when working healing magic of any kind. These need not be present, but they help to focus your energies on the task at hand.

Use your mortar and pestle to grind up a loose handful of rock salt. The exact proportions are determined by how much your mortar can hold, so you'll have to plan ahead. As you grind the salt say: "Creature of earth, I cleanse and purify you for use in my healing rite". Add the rowan berries to the salt and grind them up while saying: "Creature of healing, I cleanse and purify you for use in my healing rite". The moisture from the berries should be soaked up by the salt, so make sure to use half as many berries as salt. Add the rose buds and grind them up while saying: "Creature of love I cleanse and purify you for use in my healing rite".

Set the pestle aside and mix the contents of the mortar with your hands. Focus. Imagine in your mind's eye energy flowing from your heart, down your arms, through your hands, and into the mixture. Repeat three times: "Rowan, rose and salt together, make the aches and pains feel better".

Set the mixture aside and put yourself into a kneeling position facing east. You should have the rose quartz cupped in your hands. Ask your patron deity for the healing mix to do its work. Feel the blessing coming down from the heavens and lodging in the rose quartz. This may take some time to happen; only you will know when it has.

Pour the mixture, which should be fairly dry, into the pouch. Place the pouch into the jar so it stays fresh. Place the crystal on top of the bag and screw the lid down tight. Speak the word "Heal" with strength and emotion as you do so.

Whenever you feel sore or have aches and pains, just run a bath and pour some of the pouch’s contents into the bathwater. Don’t forget to say the following phrase three times when you do this: "Creature of earth creature of water, creature of healing, creature of love, mix together and combine to renew, replenish, and heal".

Wiccan Cold Remedy

Many of the more unorthodox religions have no objection to people who attempt to perform spells and rituals which might be labeled as witchcraft. The fear of the witch in Europe and the American Colonies was great; surely the Salem Witch trials are a fine example of that. Often people who were accused of witchcraft were no more than healers, using herbal remedies, bits of half-remembered ritual, and whatever spells they could work to try to help people. Whether or not these spells actually worked is heatedly debated and has been for the last few centuries.
For the sake of argument let us say that magic is real. Many of these healing charms were collected when the Wiccan religion was developed in 1953. Wicca, though still considered magic and witchcraft in the western world, is a very moral religion. They state that the nature of the universe is one of reciprocity. For that reason it is paramount that one should never use magic to do harm as it will return to the spell caster multiplied. It also means that good works are well rewarded.

One such mutually beneficial spell is the Medicamentum Horrescere Dirimo. It's translated literally as the potion to stop shivers and is a very potent and safe cold remedy.
For this undertaking you will need liquorice root, cinnamon sticks, salt, water, soft brown sugar, a pan, measuring cups, a bottle with a cork, a spoon, a strainer, a stove, and a clock.
Begin by measuring out 3/4 cup of water into a pan and bringing it to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and put in a cinnamon stick, three tablespoons of sugar, and a teaspoon of table salt. Cook the mixture for ten minutes, stirring continuously.

Add the liquorice root to the pan to cook and stir the mixture counterclockwise for ten full minutes. While stirring, repeat the phrase: "Horrescere dirimo et cessare hodie" until the ten minutes are up. Phonetically it's pronounced: "Hor-ech-air-ay dur-ee-moe et says-are-ay hoe-dee-ay". The translation is: "Shivers stop and leave right now". If the remedy is for yourself then make sure to breath deeply from the steam that will rise from the pan. The smell is absolutely heavenly and does wonders to clear the throat and sinuses.

Add another three tablespoons of brown sugar to the pan. The liquorice root has powerful healing properties but can be acidic and therefore bitter. A positive mindset can be important when fighting an illness, so it's best not to disturb that with unpleasant sensations such as bad taste.

Strain the mixture out and pour it into a bottle, but let it cool to room temperature before corking it. As you strain out and pour the mixture, try to keep the person for whom the potion is meant at the forefront of your mind. Imagine a nexus of healing energy around the bottle, giving it a comforting glow.

Repeat the phrase: "Horrescere dirimo et cessare hodie" once before corking the bottle and once before taking each dose. take one teaspoonful in the morning and another before bed, repeating the phrase before putting the spoon in your mouth each time. The cold will disappear within three days.

Ritual Magick & Levitation

Many of the more unorthodox religions have no objection to people who attempt to perform spells and rituals which might be labeled as witchcraft. Wiccan beliefs, New Age beliefs, and an amalgamation of others that proclaim the importance and power of the human spirit have contributed to what is known as Ritual Magick. Of the various kinds of magic practiced today this is the most mysterious and controversial because it recognizes no particular spirit or deity, nor will it recognize the concepts of white or black magic. The belief is that the spell itself is simply a tool and how the tool is used is what determines the label or "good" or "evil". This Magick is characterized by its use of many esoteric ingredients, magic circles, chants, and sacrifices to augment the powers of the caster in order to successfully complete the spell. The signature spell of this discipline is the levitation spell.

Before a person goes about attempting this spell it is important that he/she realize what he/she is doing. This is not meant to be some party trick or game. This is a serious craft with very real dangers and should not be tried unless one is already experienced in working spells or is under the supervision of a more skilled witch or wizard.

Once you’ve made the decision you wish to cast this spell you should look into collecting the necessary materials. You will need: chalk or colored duct tape, lavender, vervain, dragon’s blood (herb), marigold, raisins, rosemary, ginger root, dragon’s blood oil, a crystal of your choice, seven purple candles, four white candles, one black candle, peppermint, garlic, thistles, cloves, three apple seeds, two purple cloth bags, cinnamon, lemon, verbena, hops, high john oil, and a small glass of bottled seawater.

You must fast for two whole days before beginning the spell process, which is rather long. You may drink as much water as you like but can only eat of the same herbs that you will be using in the spell. Verbena, lemon, hops, ginger root, and raisins are all safe to eat. Only gem, lemon gem, and tangerine gem are edible species of marigold, all the other kinds are poisonous. So make sure you know what kind you've got.

Put the three apple seeds into one of the purple cloth bags and then fill up the rest of the space with lavender. Tie it tightly closed and place it under the pillow of your bed. This is a protective bag that you will need whenever you go to sleep after casting the spell. By opening the third eye and drawing powers into yourself in order to levitate you make yourself a target of spiritual creatures and entities. You become a beacon to them when they would likely not even notice a regular person and non-practitioner.

Take the second bag and place within it vervain, dragon's blood, raisins, rosemary, ginger root, a few drops of high-john oil, and the crystal. Place this under your pillow beside the first bag. This bag is meant to grant you inner power and will recharge the spiritual energies that you deplete by levitating each night that you sleep on it.

Light and place seven purple candles, four white candles, and one black candle in a wide circle around yourself. It does not matter in what order they are placed or lit. This will ward off spiritual entities that might mean you harm while you are casting your spell. Inscribe a smaller circle around yourself with chalk or colored duct tape. This circle will serve to contain the energies of the spell and prevent them from dissipating as well as keeping outside influences from affecting the spell's outcome. For that reason it's very important that the circle be complete and well defined, with no breaks whatsoever. Once the circle is closed you cannot leave the circle of let anything pass through or over it, so make sure you have all your spell components with you inside the circle. Sit down cross-legged.

Repeat the following words three times: "Little seed with cap so fine, grant me strength and make it mine. Make me strong as your sturdy tree, as I will so mote it be." Meditate on these words for as long as it takes to clear your mind of all other distractions. Envision your bed. See the bags under your pillow beginning to glow and pulse with power.

Chant the following words three times: "Strength of day strength of night, grant the power beyond my sight''. Take marigolds in hand and chant the following words: "I shape, I build the ultimate power from blooms the perfect flower''.

Remain within the circle and draw a pentagram on your forehead with the dragon's blood oil. Dust the design lightly with cinnamon. Remember a pentagram is a five pointed star that points upward, not downward. Place the glass of bottled seawater before you and take a sip. Any herbs you haven't yet used should be placed in small mounds surrounding your body. Specifically these should be the hops, clove, garlic, thistle, and peppermint.

Speak these words: "I invoke the Goddess of earth and love, She who sees all and does not fall. Hear me now and open thine eyes to see O moon of night, star of the sea. I invoke you! Open thine eyes to the world of the unseen make my senses sharp and keen. Open thine eyes to the vine, grant thee power of sight and make it mine. Grant thee the fruit if sight make me see clearer then night. Open thy eyes 3 times 3, as I will so mote it be."

Now say the prayer: "O most beautiful flower fruit of the vine splendorous of the universe, blessed mother and maiden, crone of all, immaculate goddess, assist me in my hearts desire". Then state your desire. From this point on you need not perform this ritual again to levitate. Everything up to this point need only ever be done once. To activate the levitation spell anytime you wish after the initial spell is cast you need only speak the following words. Chant these words nine times: "In the light I see, in the dark I am blind, in the world I walk, in the circle I fly". You should feel yourself become light as a feather and lift right off the ground.

Making a Bottle of Protection

Today many different forms of magic are practiced openly thanks to freedom of religion existing almost worldwide. Voodoo, Yoruba, Wicca, Neo-paganism, Hermeticism, Cabalistic Magic, and Ritual Magick all exist alongside the more mainstream religions in a sense of tolerance if not acceptance. Ritual Magick is particularly interesting because, unlike most other forms or magic, it refuses to recognize the existence of any deities or Supreme Being. It also take an Existentialist point of view, saying that neither magic nor it’s user is good or evil as there is no static reference to either concept. This Magick is characterized by its use of many esoteric ingredients, magic circles, chants, and sacrifices to augment the powers of the caster in order to successfully complete the spell. One charm that many experienced ritual magick practitioners use often is called the bottle of protection. It effectively prevents the crafts of another from doing harm to the charm’s owner. Though this would only be of use to someone with enemies, this is a defensive spell and is safe to practice without more experienced supervision.

For this spell you will need several alchemical components. Go about collecting: a large bottle with cork, a mortar and pestle, four tablespoons of frankincense, four tablespoons of powdered black iron, some oak moss, four tablespoons of sea salt, one white candle, a lighter, a black ink pen, a knife, a stick or wand if you use one, a bowl you have used in other spells or one that has some significance to you, scissors, rubber gloves, a funnel, a disposable bag, and some black thread. You will also need a spell focus. This is a small item which you feel is representative of who you see yourself to be. Personally I use a piece of obsidian. I feel it best represents me; dark, sharp, and flawed.

This spell calls no spirits which means you need not draw a protective circle, so you can work your spell wherever you wish. Somewhere quiet and familiar would be best though. Put on your rubber gloves; try not to touch any of the ingredients with your bare skin or clothing. You don’t want to form a physical link with your flesh and the ingredients. Place the candle before you, whether you’re working at a table or on the floor, and light it.

Grind up the sea salt, frankincense, and oak moss in the mortar and pestle. You wouldn’t be able to grind up the iron so don’t bother. Pour all four ingredients into your bowl and stir them well with your stick or wand. Set the bowl aside.

Cut a strip of parchment small enough to fit in the bottle. Write on it in black ink the words: “I call out to the power of (name), that any harm he/she means to the writer be sent to this simple icon in stead. I ask this to be correct and for the good of all. So mote it be!” Roll your personal focus up in the parchment and tie it tightly in place with several lengths of black thread.
Slip the bundle into the bottle, then fit the funnel to the bottle’s neck and pour in the dry contents of the bowl, covering the parchment as thoroughly as possible. Fit the cork as close to flush the with bottle’s lip as you can. Trim off the protruding remnants of the cork with the knife. Turn the bottle widdershins (counterclockwise) and drip wax from the candle on the bottle’s top. Don’t stop until you’ve sealed off the entire cork.

Set the bottle aside and clean up your work space, but keep the rubber gloves on. When you’re done wash the bottle free of smudges, fingerprints, or any impressions of your clothes and skin. Place the bottle in a bag so you needn’t touch it directly. Take the bottle to a secluded spot far away from your home. Bury it with the bad deep somewhere where no animals or people might disturb it.

This bottle is effectively a decoy for all harmful magics or intentions made by the specific person. It doesn’t block the magics so much as redirect them to something which cannot be harmed. That’s why you don’t want to leave any impressions of the real you on the items that you buried, it’s like covering your trail. The spell will continue to serve its purpose as long as the bottle remains untouched, should it be opened then the powers fueling the spell are freed and the spell will stop working.

How To Break a Spell You've Cast

When we were little we were taught to believe that nothing is impossible. So we believe in monsters under the bed, mythical figures, and magic. The existence and use of magic is the epicenter of childhood imagination, allowing them to spend hours and hours in blissful daydreams and imagined scenarios. It’s funny how all the stories we are read at that age only include magic when it’s being used by the antagonist. The wicked witch, the evil stepmother, etc. As we grow up we are taught that magic is not real, and then find out the history of magic as it pertains to the Christian morals of America and Western Europe. We read about the witch hunts, the inquisition, and peasant superstitions leading to burning after burning. Now as we are grown up we are more open to the world without people directing what we hear and read. Then we find out again that magic might be real as many thousands of people across the world return to worshipping spirits of nature and the earth, working spells and charms to help others in the fashion of their misunderstood ancestors. Whether or not these spells actually worked is heatedly debated and has been since working magic was no longer punishable by law. After the war of indoctrination we go through as children it’s not surprising that no one knows what to think or believe.

For the sake of argument let us say that magic is real. Many healing charms were collected when the Wiccan religion was developed in 1953. Wicca, though still considered magic and witchcraft in the western world, is a very moral religion. They state that the nature of the universe is one of reciprocity. For that reason it is paramount that one should never use magic to do harm as it will return to the spell caster multiplied. This includes magic that does unintentional harm, and herein is the real danger. None of us can know the full scope of effects our actions will have, for that reason there is a ritual designed to break any previous spell you’ve cast. This is a very useful and beneficial ritual to know that poses no danger to the user.

You will need some angelica herb, rosemary oil, a piece of chalk or colored duct tape, a lighter, five white candles, a foot of string, benzoin incense, an incense burner, a compass, a piece of black cloth, a fire-proof plate or container, something of value to you. Typically the item of value is best if it’s jewelry, even the fake kind. It just needs to be something you like or have possessed for a long time. Be warned. You won’t be getting this back.

You should start the ritual at the same time of day and in the same spot where the original spell was cast if at all possible. Face east and use the chalk to draw a complete circle around yourself. If you can’t do this because of the surface you’re on, use the colored duct tape to lay down a circle. From this point forward do not cross the circle for any reason as it will break the ritual and you will have to start over. Put the candles out near the rim around yourself in a circle. Anoint the wicks and the candle signs with just a few drops of rosemary oil, then light then. Put the benzoin incense in an incense burner and light it.

Speak the words “I cast a spell asking (Insert type of spell here); I now ask the favor of having the spell removed. I understand to take back a spell means giving up something of my own to show my spirit is true and my intentions are good, I give this (Possession’s name). I transfer the spell into the (Possession’s name) and render the spell broken. No harm may come from the ending of this spell. No further power shall it have. This is my will. So shall it be."

Put the item and the angelica in the center of the black cloth. Lift up the four ends of the cloth to make a bag. Tie the end of the bag shut with the string. Place the bag on the fire-proof plate; pour wax from one of the candles onto the top of the bag and the knot you tied. Light the bag and let it burn down to ash. If there’s anything left that the fire wasn’t capable of burning, you must throw it away as soon as you are able.

Break the circle and clean up your ritual supplies. The spell you cast should be undone.

Hermetic Magic & Truth Spell

Hermetic magic is one aspect of Hermeticism. Hermeticism is a set of philosophical and religious beliefs based on the writings of Hermes Trismegistus. It combines natural and alchemical lore with religious pantheism and moral philosophy to create a complex structured system that charts the flow of magical energies and works to redirect them. The best examples of Hermetic magic are meditation spells, otherwise known as circle spells for the complex magic circles used in compound with elemental representations. The purpose of these spells is not to have an impact on the physical world but to directly affect the spiritual world. As may be guessed from its name, meditative spells require the magician to enter a state of meditation before casting. The most common and least dangerous of these spells is the truth spell in which you can contact the mind of another and exchange information.

Before one goes about performing this spell, it is imperative that one knows the risks involved. Children should not try this, nor should the inexperienced without the aid and supervision of a practiced Hermeticist. Any action which involves the transfer and manipulation of spiritual or magical energy should not be taken lightly. This is very serious work. The cardinal rule in all magic is to do no harm. Never use this spell or any other spell for selfish or harmful purposes. This spell should not be cast on someone who is unwilling or does not wish to converse with you, the consequences of forcing your will on another being can be dire.

With these things in mind you may go about gathering the necessary materials for the spell. You will need three white candles, a piece of chalk or some colored duct tape, and matches. Then find a quiet spot with plenty of floor space to work the spell.

Stand in the center of the circle and place the first candle in front of you. Light the candle and speak the following words: “I am I, and I seek truth". Place the second candle slightly behind you and to your immediate left. Face the candle, light it and speak the following words: "I am you, and I seek the truth". Place the third candle behind you to complete the triangle inside the circle. Face the candle, light it and speak the following words: "I am we, and I seek the truth".
Sit in the center of the triangle and face the first candle. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Clear your mind of all extraneous thought. It may take minutes to enter this meditative state, it may take hours. Just take as long as you need.

Envision the person who you wish to contact sitting in front of you, looking at you over the lit candle. Envision your spirit body separating from your physical body. See it rise up to look down on you and the other person. Move your spirit body and turn it around so that you are behind the other person, looking at his/her back.

Say in your mind: "I seek the truth and nothing but the truth". Slowly move so that your spirit is in the body of the other person. Look out from his/her eyes at your physical body sitting in the circle. Sift through the other person's mind carefully. See what he/she sees, hear what he/she hears, and know what he/she knows. Converse with him or her if you wish.

Envision your spirit body leaving the body of the other person and returning to its physical shell when you have completed your task. Open your eyes and blow out the candles in reverse order. Clean up the chalk or pull up the duct tape. Think on what you've learned.

Exsilium Liquidus Potion

The Wiccan religion that was developed in 1953 streamlined and combined many different Neo-Paganism sects by compiling a set series of “laws” of magic. It should be stated that these laws merely explained how the flow and movement of magical energy works. Wicca is a religion which does not forbid it’s practitioners from any magical act, there fore there are no real laws of magic, valuing free will over compliance. It is instead reliant on a strong sense of morality to be instilled in members of any coven and the presence of experienced spiritual guides in the form of coven leaders. While you can find spells to do harm in the Wiccan religion if you look hard enough, for every one dangerous spell there are half a dozen beneficial ones. There are many spells of protection as well as spells for the exorcism of evil spirits, giving experienced practitioners the opportunity to safeguard their own souls. One potion in particular is noted for its power and effectiveness in banishing harmful spirits and exorcising the possessed. It goes by the name exsilium liquidus and instructions on how to make and use it are to follow.

Before you begin it should be stated that there is a very real danger involved whenever magic is used in an offensive rather than defensive capacity. Such spells and potions are reliant on the inner strength or willpower of the user, and should not be trifled with unless one is a very experienced Wiccan. Even then the possibility for lasting harm to the mind, body, and spirit still exists. This is no game.

Start by collecting all the necessary materials and ingredients. You will need one piece of mandrake root, a lighter, a stove top, a small piece of peony root, salt, frankincense, powdered black iron, a white bird’s feather (dove is best), five white candles, a lighter, a bottle, a bottle of holy water, a pot or cauldron (A metal pot you’ve already used for other spells is best), powdered silver (if you can afford it), a bottle of spring water, a wooden spoon or wand if you have one, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, fresh basil, fresh sage, and an athame. An athame is a ritual knife. If you don’t have one then use an old kitchen knife that has been held and used for many years, but make sure not to use it for cooking after this. Don’t worry, it’s not meant for hurting anyone; you just need to chop up all the ingredients before putting them into your pot.

Place the pot on the stove top and pour in equal measures of holy water and spring water. This represents the power of both nature and heaven. Array the candles in a five-pointed star pattern around the pot and light them. Put in the mandrake root and peony root. These both contain a great deal of magical energy and are effective wards against demonic entities. Put in the powdered iron and dove feather, which are both anathema to the Fae. Pour in a tablespoon of salt and the powdered silver, both are said to be effective against magical or demonic constructs given physical form. The frankincense was used Hebrew burial rituals as a ward against any spirits who would desecrate the body of the dead. Before that it was used by the Babylonians and Sumerians for a similar purpose. Put in as much frankincense as you’ve got. The sage, thyme, rosemary, and basil are effective deterrents against nature spirits such as bogarts, huldre, nyads, redcaps, etc. who might mean you harm.

Put the mixture on medium heat and stir it clockwise with the wand. Continue to repeat the following phrase until the pot boils: “I bless you now, by the power of light to destroy evil, to erase his might! Beatus cum potentia bonus!” The last part is pronounced “Bee-awt-us Coom Poe-ten-shee-a Bawn-us”. After the pot has boiled, pour the contents into a bottle. Any container will do, but something which you’ve used in this fashion before is better.
To use this to clear your house and safeguard it from spirits, first open up all the windows and doors to give the spirits plenty of exits. Then sprinkle the potion on all the baseboards of the house, calling loudly “Be gone!” as you do so.

To be rid of a manifested spirit or demon, cast the water directly on the demon and proclaim “Demon be gone, be nevermore. Creature of evil and of bane, I cast you out to eternal flame. Angels bless this spell of mine; banish evil through space and time!” The demon should disintegrate and its essence will be sent back to its birthplace.

The many properties of this potion make it effective in dealing with most any spirit you face, but this should not be your only plan of attack. Knowledge is you best ally. Learn as much about the creature you face first. Also do not imbibe the potion; many of the contents are poisonous if ingested.

How to Make A Wiccan Healing Soak

Many of the more unorthodox religions have no objection to people who attempt to perform spells and rituals which might be labeled as witchcraft. The fear of the witch in Europe and the American Colonies was great; surely the Salem Witch trials are a fine example of that. Often people who were accused of witchcraft were no more than healers, using herbal remedies, bits of half-remembered ritual, and whatever spells they could work to try to help people. Whether or not these spells actually worked is heatedly debated and has been for the last few centuries. For the sake of argument let us say that magic is real. Many of these healing charms were collected when the Wiccan religion was developed in 1953. Wicca, though still considered magic and witchcraft in the western world, is a very moral religion. They state that the nature of the universe is one of reciprocity. For that reason it is paramount that one should never use magic to do harm as it will return to the spell caster multiplied. It also means that good works are well rewarded. One such spell explains how to make healing bath salts that are good for aches, bruises, and sore muscles.

Things You’ll Need:
Rose Quartz Crystal
Mortar & Pestle
Rowan Berries
Clean Mason Jar
Compass
Lighter
White Candle
Pink Candle
Rose Buds (Pink For Preference)
Rock Salt
Small Pouch

Making Healing Bath Salts
Step 1:
Clean a space in your home or outdoors free of all clutter so you can concentrate on your work. Either work standing at a table or cross legged on the floor.

Step 2:
Use your compass to face east and light your candles in front of you, but well out of your reach so they won't get in the way as you work. Typically a white candle is representative of the soul and is used when working magic that requires concentration or meditation. A pink candle is representative of healing magics, and should be present when working healing magic of any kind. These need not be present, but they help to focus your energies on the task at hand.

Step 3:
Use your mortar and pestle to grind up a loose handful of rock salt. The exact proportions are determined by how much your mortar can hold, so you'll have to plan ahead. As you grind the salt say: "Creature of earth, I cleanse and purify you for use in my healing rite".

Step 4:
Add the rowan berries to the salt and grind them up while saying: "Creature of healing, I cleanse and purify you for use in my healing rite". The moisture from the berries should be soaked up by the salt, so make sure to use half as many berries as salt.

Step 5:
Add the rose buds and grind them up while saying: "Creature of love I cleanse and purify you for use in my healing rite".

Step 6:
Set the pestle aside and mix the contents of the mortar with your hands. Focus. Imagine in your mind's eye energy flowing from your heart, down your arms, through your hands, and into the mixture. Repeat three times: "Rowan, rose and salt together, make the aches and pains feel better".

Step 7:
Set the mixture aside and put yourself into a kneeling position facing east. You should have the rose quartz cupped in your hands. Ask your patron deity for the healing mix to do its work. Feel the blessing coming down from the heavens and lodging in the rose quartz. This may take some time to happen; only you will know when it has.

Step 8:
Pour the mixture, which should be fairly dry, into the pouch. Place the pouch into the jar so it stays fresh. Place the crystal on top of the bag and screw the lid down tight. Speak the word "Heal" with strength and emotion as you do so.

Step 9:
Mix some of the pouch's contents into running bathwater to use it. Say the following phrase three times: "creature of earth creature of water, creature of healing, creature of love, mix together and combine to renew, replenish, and heal".

While stirring, repeat the phrase: "Horrescere dirimo et cessare hodie" until the ten minutes are up. Phonetically it's pronounced: "Hor-ech-air-ay dur-ee-moe et says-are-ay hoe-dee-ay". The translation is: "Shivers stop and leave right now".

Step 5:
Add another three tablespoons of brown sugar to the pan. The liquorice root has powerful healing properties but can be acidic and therefore bitter. A positive mindset can be important when fighting an illness, so it's best not to disturb that with unpleasant sensations such as bad taste.

Step 6:
Strain the mixture out and pour it into a bottle, but let it cool to room temperature before corking it.

Step 7:
Repeat the phrase: "Horrescere dirimo et cessare hodie" once before corking the bottle and once before taking each dose. take one teaspoonful in the morning and another before bed, repeating the phrase before putting the spoon in your mouth each time. The cold will disappear within three days.

How to Cast Spells to Levitate

Many of the more unorthodox religions have no objection to people who attempt to perform spells and rituals which might be labeled as witchcraft. Wiccan beliefs, New Age beliefs, and an amalgamation of others that proclaim the importance and power of the human spirit have contributed to what is known as Ritual Magick. Of the various kinds of magic practiced today this is the most mysterious and controversial because it recognizes no particular spirit or deity, nor will it recognize the concepts of white or black magic. The belief is that the spell itself is simply a tool and how the tool is used is what determines the label or "good" or "evil". This Magick is characterized by its use of many esoteric ingredients, magic circles, chants, and sacrifices to augment the powers of the caster in order to successfully complete the spell. This guide will explain the necessary steps to cast a spell giving the user the power to levitate him/herself.

Things You’ll Need:
Chalk or Colored Duct Tape
Lavender
Vervain
Dragons Blood (herb)
Marigold
Raisins
Rosemary
Ginger Root
Dragons Blood Oil
Crystal of Choice
Seven Purple Candles
Eight White Candles
One Black Candle
Peppermint
Garlic
Thistles
Clove
Three Apple Seeds
Two Purple Cloth Bags
Cinnamon
Lemon
Verbena
Hops
A Down Feather
High John Oil
A Small Glass of Bottled Seawater

Awakening Your Spiritual Energies and Gathering Them For The Spell
Step 1:
Fast for two whole days before beginning the spell process. You may drink as much water as you like but can only eat of the same herbs that you will be using in the spell. Verbena, lemon, hops, ginger root, and raisins are all safe to eat. Only gem, lemon gem, or tangerine gem are edible species of marigold, so make sure you know what kind you've got.

Step 2:
Put the three apple seeds into one of the purple cloth bags and then fill up the rest of the space with lavender. Tie it tightly closed and place it under the pillow of your bed. This is a protective bag that you will need whenever you go to sleep after casting the spell. By opening the third eye and drawing powers into yourself in order to levitate you make yourself a target of spiritual creatures and entities. You become a beacon to them where they would likely not even notice a regular person and non-practitioner. The inherent properties of the herbs in this bag ward off spirits from attacking you in your dreams.

Step 3:
Take the second bag and place within it vervain, dragon's blood, raisins, rosemary, ginger root, a few drops of high-john oil, and the crystal. Place this under your pillow beside the first bag. This bag is meant to grant you inner power and will recharge the spiritual energies that you deplete by levitating each night that you sleep on it.

Step 4:
Light and place seven purple candles, four white candles, and one black candle in a wide circle around yourself. This will ward off spiritual entities that might mean you harm while you are casting your spell.

Step 5:
Inscribe a smaller circle around yourself with chalk or colored duct tape. This circle will serve to contain the energies of the spell and prevent them from dissipating as well as keeping outside influences from affecting the spell's outcome. For that reason it's very important that the circle be complete and well defined, with no breaks whatsoever. Once the circle is closed you cannot leave the circle of let anything pass through or over it, so make sure you have all your spell components with you inside the circle. Sit down cross-legged.

Step 6:
Repeat the following words three times: "Little seed with cap so fine, grant me strength and make it mine. Make me strong as your sturdy tree, as I will so mote it be."

Step 7:
Meditate on these words for as long as it takes to clear your mind of all other distractions. Envision your bed. See the bags under your pillow beginning to glow and pulse with power.

Step 8:
Chant the following words three times: "Strength of day strength of night, grant the power beyond my sight''.

Step 9:
Take marigolds in hand and chant the following words: "I shape, I build the ultimate power from blooms the perfect flower''.

Casting The Levitation Spell Itself
Step 1:
Remain within the circle and draw a pentagram on your forehead with the dragon's blood oil. Dust the design lightly with cinnamon. Remember a pentagram is a five pointed star that points upward, not downward.

Step 2:
Place the glass of bottled seawater before you and take a sip. Any herbs you haven't yet used should be placed in small mounds surrounding your body. Specifically these should be the hops, clove, garlic, thistle, and peppermint.

Step 3:
Speak these words: "I invoke the Goddess of earth and love, She who sees all and does not fall. Hear me now and open thine eyes to see O moon of night, star of the sea. I invoke you! Open thine eyes to the world of the unseen make my senses sharp and keen. Open thine eyes to the vine, grant thee power of sight and make it mine. Grant thee the fruit if sight make me see clearer then night. Open thy eyes 3 times 3, as I will so mote it be."

Step 4:
Now say the prayer: "O most beautiful flower fruit of the vine splendorous of the universe, blessed mother and maiden, crone of all, immaculate goddess, assist me in my hearts desire". Then state your desire. From this point on you need not perform this ritual again to levitate. There is a separate and much more simple incantation you simply give voice to and the spell will activate.

Using the Levitation Spell
Step 1:
Draw a protective circle around yourself with chalk or colored duct tape

Step 2:
Hold the down feather in your dominant hand and place four white candles around yourself within the circle.

Step 3:
Light the candles in a clockwise direction while still holding the feather.

Step 4:
Sit cross-legged and face north.

Step 5:
Chant these words nine times: "In the light I see, in the dark I am blind, in the world I walk, in the circle I fly".

Step 6:
Concentrate on being as light as the feather in your hand. When you have this image squarely in your mind blow lightly on the feather to levitate.

Tips & Warnings
It's probably best to already have some experience with Ritual Magick before casting this spell. If you're new to this you it would be safer to attempt this spell with the aid of a practiced spellcaster.
The circle must be clearly defined and unbroken throughout the entire casting process. This circle provides protection from outside influences and entities. If the circle is broken while the spell is being cast the energies built up within the circle can cause a spiritual backlash and harm or sicken the caster.

How to Cast Meditation Spells


Hermetic magic is one aspect of Hermeticism. Hermeticism is a set of philosophical and religious beliefs based on the writings of Hermes Trismegistus. It combines natural and alchemical lore with religious pantheism and moral philosophy to create a complex structured system that charts the flow of magical energies and works to redirect them. The best examples of Hermetic magic are meditation spells, otherwise known as circle spells for the complex magic circles used in compound with elemental representations. The purpose of these spells is not to have an impact on the physical world but to directly affect the spiritual world. As may be guessed from it's name, meditative spells require the magician to enter a state of meditation before casting. The most common and least dangerous of these spells is the truth spell in which you can contact the mind of another and exchange information. This guide will explain the steps, and dangers, of casting such a spell.

Things You’ll Need:
3 White Candles (White Represents Spirit)

Chalk or Colored Duct tape

Lighter or Matches


Casting A Meditation Spell (Contact Spell)
Step 1:
Draw a large circle around yourself. This spell is not advanced Hermetic magic so there need be no inscriptions or runes used. Use the chalk or the colored duct tape to make the circle. Make sure it is a thick and unbroken line. From this point on you should not break or let any part of your body outside the circle. The spell will be broken if you do, the shock of which can be dangerous to you and the person you would contact.


Step 2:
Stand in the center of the circle and place the first candle in front of you.


Step 3:
Light the candle and speak the following words: “I am I, and I seek truth".


Step 4:
Place the second candle slightly behind you and to your immediate left. Face the candle, light it and speak the following words: "I am you, and I seek the truth".


Step 5:
Place the third candle behind you to complete the triangle inside the circle. Face the candle, light it and speak the following words: "I am we, and I seek the truth".


Step 6:
Sit in the center of the triangle and face the first candle.


Step 7:
Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Clear your mind of all extraneous thought. It may take minutes to enter this meditative state, it may take hours. Just take as long as you need.


Step 8:
Envision the person who you wish to contact sitting in front of you, looking at you over the lit candle.


Step 9:
Envision your spirit body separating from your physical body. See it rise up to look down on you and the other person. Move your spirit body and turn it around so that you are behind the other person, looking at his/her back.


Step 10:
Say in your mind: "I seek the truth and nothing but the truth". Slowly move so that your spirit is in the body of the other person. Look out from his/her eyes at your physical body sitting in the circle.


Step 11:
Sift through the other person's mind carefully. See what he/she sees, hear what he/she hears, and know what he/she knows. Converse with him or her if you wish.


Step 12:
Envision your spirit body leaving the body of the other person and returning to its physical shell when you have completed your task.


Step 13:
Open your eyes and blow out the candles in reverse order. Clean up the chalk or pull up the duct tape. Think on what you've learned.


Tips & Warnings
The cardinal rule in all magic is to do no harm. Never use this spell or any other spell for selfish or harmful purposes.
This spell should not be cast on someone who is unwilling or does not wish to converse with you, the consequences of forcing your will on another being can be dire. Do not break the circle at any time during the casting of the spell. You run the risk of harming yourself and whoever you would contact. Hermetic magic is advanced and very powerful with clear cut definitions of good and bad. Don't try such magic without experienced guidance.
