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.

How To Open a Wiccan Circle
For a long time society as a whole had simply decided to shun anything having to do with witchcraft, as there was no way to govern it. It was a force, nothing more. A force that had been mistaken as inherently evil or wrong, when in reality any harmful effect magic may have had was the result of the spell caster’s will, not the power itself. The promise of power in magic can be seductive, and many have fallen to its siren song in the past. The Wiccan religion had to emphasize morality for this very reason. Once the Wiccan’s character has been established and the warnings of possible dangers are taken to heart, the second thing they are taught is how to break or open a magic circle. The first, obviously, is how to create the magic circle to begin with.
The circle is a bubble of protected and consecrated space in which a Wiccan or group of Wiccans can carry out a rite or magic spell without being bothered or hampered by surrounding spiritual influences. Once the intended rite or spell has been carried out, the circle must be opened up for the participant/s to exit safely. To simply walk through such a circle does no physical harm, but it lacks finesse and, in some circles, is believed to cause cumulative psychic trauma that can become debilitating over time.
To open the circle you will need an athame, a ritual knife or sword. Considering an athame was required to create or close the circle to begin with, you should have one. With the athame in hand, go to the eastern edge of the circle. Draw a pentacle in the air with your athame. To do this hold your athame forward and slightly to the right at shoulder height, bring it diagonally down to your left at hip height, then diagonally up to head height, then diagonally down to your right at hip height, then diagonally up to your left at shoulder height, then straight across to the right where your ritual blade first started. With this done hold your athame in both hands upright before you, slightly tipped forward. Speak the words loudly and clearly “Masters of the East, Masters of Air, we/I thank you for baring witness and guarding our/my Circle, and we/I ask for your blessing as you return whence you came. Love and Light”.
Return to the center of the circle, and then walk to the southern edge of the circle. Repeat the sign of the pentacle and say “Masters of the South, Masters of Fire, we/I thank you for baring witness and guarding our/my Circle, and we/I ask for your blessing as you return whence you came. Love and Light”.
Return to the center of the circle, and then walk to the western edge of the circle. Repeat the sign of the pentacle and say “Masters of the West, Masters of Water, we/I thank you for baring witness and guarding our/my Circle, and we/I ask for your blessing as you return whence you came. Love and Light”.
Return to the center of the circle, and then walk to the northern edge of the circle. Repeat the sign of the pentacle and say “Masters of the North, Masters of Earth, we/I thank you for baring witness and guarding our/my Circle, and we/I ask for your blessing as you return whence you came. Love and Light”.
Go to the center of the circle. With your athame in both hands, raise it up to the sky, and then touch the tip to the earth. Wrap up the athame or put it in its sheath. Raise your arms wide and say “This, my/our circle, is now open but not broken. May my/your/our heart/s be filled with the love of life and the peace of the light”.
With this done you may go as you please.

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.

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".
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".
How to Make A 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.
Things You’ll Need:
Liquorice Root
Cinnamon Sticks
Salt Water
Soft Brown Sugar
Pan or Cauldron
Measuring Cups
Bottle With Cork
Strainer
Spoon
Stove
Clock
Making A Cold Curing Potion
Step 1:
Measure out 3/4 cup of water into a pan and bring it to a boil.
Step 2:
Lower the heat to a simmer and put in a cinnamon stick, three tablespoons of sugar, and a teaspoon of table salt.
Step 3:
Cook the mixture for ten minutes, stirring continuously.
Step 4:
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".
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.
