Aries Waxing Moon & Will Power Spell

Happy Tuesday! The moon is waxing in the sign of Aries (2nd Quarter) and the element is fire. This is a time for new beginnings, to conceptualize ideas, to invoke. At this time the moon represents the Goddess in her Maiden aspect, give praise to Epona, Artemis or one of the other Maiden Goddesses. This is a time for spells that attract, that bring positive change.

The Aries moon is good for starting new projects or business ventures, especially those that need a little push or extra courage. This is also a good time to buy, cleanse, bless, etc. any magical tool with a blade. Anything related to courage, matters of personal strength or self improvement (like breaking bad habits, esp during the waning moon), changes resulting in a complete change of how you do things or a paradigm shift, protection, especially for the military.

When the moon is in Aries, one must be very careful about how much magickal heat a practitioner creates within his/her spellwork as this moon is volatile.The Aries Moon is also the perfect moon for an impatient magician as this moon brings quick results.

This is a meditation spell. You will require a number of candles. Basically any shape candles but their colors should be light blue, white or purple.

This spell can be cast anywhere where you can remain for a period of time (the longer the better) and where you will be undisturbed and comfortable. Light the candles and start the incents or potpourri (you don?t need both, just one, or if the candles are scented that works as well).

Lay down in your comfortable place and chant the following chant:

Give me strength and guide me right,
To my goals when they?re in sight,
But even when they?re far away;
Guide myself towards the day
When I shall stand upon the shore
My conflicts gone forever more.
And guide myself to make the choice,
That I can?t bring myself to voice;
And calm my tormented, ravaged soul,
From right now till forever more.

The more often the chant is spoken, the more will power you will be given. The spell will fade over time and it is best if it is cast weekly.

Ancient Irish Hair Binding Bond of Trust Spell

In ancient Ireland, it was customary for a man to braid a bracelet from his hair and give it to the woman he loved, a gift of trust - knowing what can be done to someone magically if you possess their hair. The binding is not activated unless she accepts the gift, thus accepting him and agreeing to the spell. This is not a binding that can be imposed on another.

Powers & Magickal uses: Luck, Healing, Strength, Protection, Beauty, Love.
Energy type: Projective. Associated elements: Fire, Spirit.

Amber is neither a gemstone nor a crystal, but is fossilized sap from prehistoric trees that has aged over the course of millions of years. Amber is usually thought of as yellow golden in hue, but amber also can be found in shades of milky white, red-orange, green, black and even (very rarely) violet. As such it frequently contains insects, and is therefore seen as a giver of life energy. Amber also represents the Goddess or Great Mother, and is sometimes worn by Witches in a necklace of alternating amber and jet (representing the God) beads. It is used to enhance magickal ability and to ward off negativity, whether it is within your own spells or of those directed against you.

Be wary of being fobbed off with imitation amber. Fake amber it is made of glass or plastic, true amber is warm to the touch, smells slightly of pear drops, and produces a sweet smelling smoke if you push a hot pin into it (plastic smells pungent and acidic).

Early physicians prescribed amber for headaches, heart problems, arthritis and a variety of other ailments. In ancient times, amber was carried by travelers for protection. To early Christians, amber signified the presence of the Lord. In the Far East, amber is the symbol of courage; Asian cultures regard amber as the 'soul of the tiger'; Egyptians placed a piece of amber in the casket of a loved one to ensure the body would forever remain whole. Amber energy properties: rings a care free, sunny disposition, promotes good luck and success, dissolves oppositions, helps with stomach, spleen and kidney complaints reduces joint problems alleviates teething pain in babies; 2nd Chakra, Spleen and 3rd Chakra, Navel, Solar Plexus.

In many traditions of Paganism and Wicca, days of the week are very important aspects of effective spellcasting. For example, spells to do with abundance or prosperity could be done on Thursday, because it is associated with riches and desire. When casting a spell concerning business or communication, one might prefer to work on a Wednesday due to its associations.

While not all traditions follow this rule, when you're doing any sort of magical working, always be sure to document the day of the week you're performing the spell. You might be surprised later on to see some connections!

Sunday-
Color: Yellow & gold
Planet: Sun
Metal: Gold
Deities: Brighid, Helios, Ra
Gemstones: Quartz crystal, diamond, amber, carnelian

Crystal Meanings and Uses - Agate

Agates have been thought to be good to harden the gums.
Healing properties of agate

Agate is used for stomach upsets. Place the agate on the solar plexus. The agate can't change emotions, but helps to change our level of acceptance of the emotion. Such as when you are very sad the agate will let you know that this will pass and help you get on to another and better day. This is why the Agate is considered so powerful as it gives us the strength to carry on. Carry an agate when you have to make an important decision.

We are currently in the waxing crescent phase of the moon. The waxing moon is the period of time between the new moon and the full moon. Every night, the moon gets a little larger. Any spellwork that requires growth should be done now.Spells: Courage, motivation, inspiration, friendship, elemental magick, healing or luck.

*Courage Spell-

   
Relax and meditate. Chant softly, getting louder for about three minutes and courage will come to you. Chant the following:Burning flame,
Cooling wind,
Summon courage from within,
I call on all my strength and love,
Send me power from above.

*Motivation Spell

May these words bring me encouragement

And revive my interest in this moment,

I invoke the Higher Power

Among the obstacles these hours

To awaken the motivation in my heart.

As visions of good return,

And the spark of positivity is lit,

And the strength rises within me,


It is my wish, please guide my steps

during this moment,

May this incantation

push me forward.

So mote it be.

*Friendship Candle Spell-

Spell to Draw New Friends to You

Need:
Pink Candle
Good Luck/Friendship Oil
Pink silk ribbon
White Silk Ribbon

Cast the Circle, Arrange altar, Invoke Goddess and God

You will want to anoint the pink candle with Good Luck oil all the while thinking of the friends you want to make.

Imagine yourself laughing with them, going out with them. Really see yourself with them.

After your candle has been anointed, you may light it. At this point you may call out the things that are important to you in a friend: honesty, trust, open mindedness, humor, whatever.

As you light the candle, see the flame as being the energy that burns between any two close friends.

When this is completed, take your two pieces of silk ribbon and weave them together.

Simply winding them around each other will do.

While you do this, think of bringing that friend closer to you.

This binding process is reminiscent of pagan handfasting rituals.

You are binding that friend to you, making them loyal to you, a way any good friend should be.

You do not want to bind a specific person to you, as that kind of magic is harmful since is harms the other person's free will. Only bind the idea of the perfect friend to you.

Once you have done this, tie the ribbon to the base of your candle as best as you can.

The candle's light is a beacon to bring friendship to you and another person.

When this is done, you may wish to sit and meditate on the spell that you have just cast, sending your energies out to bring that perfect friend to you. When you feel that your spell has been completed, then it has. Let your candle burn all the way out and release your circle, thanking the Goddess and the God.

*Self-Healing

This mantra allows a Wiccan to tap into the powerful energies of the elements to regenerate his or her health.

By Earth and Water,

Air and By Fire,

May you hear this wish,

Sources of Life and Light

Sources of the day and of the Earth,

I invoke you here,


Heal my body and mind.

*Candle Burning Spells for Good Luck

Choosing the best candle for your good luck spell depends on the type of good fortune you desire. Each color candle vibrates at a different frequency, so it is important to choose the correct candle color for your purpose.

If you want good luck in money matters or gambling, a green candle should be chosen. Use a pink candle if you wish good luck in love and romance.
Dressing the candle for the good luck spell means preparing it with oil as you visualize your desired results. Using virgin olive oil, start at the middle of the candle and with your fingers rub the oil outwards to the base of the candle. Finish anointing the candle by rubbing the olive oil from the middle of the candle up to the top. As you are dressing the candle, think about the good luck you desire and visualize the end result.

Two other methods used in many good luck spells are inscribing and notching the candle. To inscribe a candle, use your Athame, the tip of a sharp knife or a nail, and carve in your desire or a symbolic word for your wishes. To notch a candle, use the same implements and carve complete circles lightly around the candle dividing it into sections. Generally, seven sections are created and the candle is burnt during the candle spells for seven consecutive nights, one section each night.

Each time you burn a section of the candle, chant your spell, make your wish and visualize the result. If your spell is for good luck with money, your words could be as simple as saying, "Money, money, money come to me. It is my will so mote it be."

What to Say While the Candle Burns

Burning a candle for good luck isn't enough. Once you've chosen the appropriate candle color, annointed it with oil, and notched or inscribed it with the symbol that represents the type of luck you hope to receive, do one of the following:

Say, "This candle represents the good luck coming my way" (before you light it), then, "I can see good luck surrounding me" (right after you've lit the candle). As you watch the candle burn, imagine what it will be like when the good luck you desire appears in your life. If you're burning the whole candle, say, "I will have good luck" for every one-third of the candle that melts away. When it's time to blow out the candle, imagine the bad luck in your life being extinguished.

Light a candle in the color of your choice and say, "This candle represents me." Light a black candle and say, "I have had bad luck in the past but it's time for it to stop. This candle represents my bad luck." Light a gray one and say, "My life is balanced at this point. Bad luck is no more." Light an orange candle and say, "Things will change now. Good luck is coming." Let the candles burn all the way down as you visualize the good luck you will have from this day forward.

With this spell, you don't have to say anything out loud at all (though you can certainly verbalize your wishes if you'd like). Light a green candle and picture a small balloon that represents your goal and your good luck for achieving that goal. As the candle burns, imagine the balloon getting larger and larger until it begins to float. Finally, the balloon is soaring. You watch the goal and luck in your mind grow slowly and finally soar because your success won't be instantaneous and burn out quickly, like a balloon that's filled with too much air, too quickly. Instead, the good luck will come to you and you'll achieve gradual and long-lasting success in your goal.

Burn a candle in your color of choice and say, "Bring to me my heart's desire, the luck I need, the dream I dream. Keep from me the harm you see, so I remain safe with the good fortune I seek."

Vestalia June 7 to June 15

The Roman celebration of Vestalia was held each year in June, near the time of Litha, the summer solstice. This festival honored Vesta, the Roman goddess who guarded virginity. She was sacred to women, and alongside Juno was considered a protector of marriage.

The Vestalia was celebrated from June 7 to June 15, and was a time in which the inner sanctum of the Vestal Temple was opened for all women to visit and make offerings to the goddess. TheVestales, or Vestal Virgins, guarded a sacred flame at the temple, and swore thirty-year vows of chastity. One of the best known Vestales was Rhea Silvia, who broke her vows and conceived twinsRomulus and Remus with the god Mars. It was considered a great honor to be chosen as one of theVestales, and was a privilege reserved for young girls of patrician birth.
