may 29...protection talisman

One of the basic ways to stay healthy is to prevent illness in the first place.  This technique involves making a talisman that will help ward away disease and harmful energies.

need:
green candle
red candle
and clear quartz crystal

begin by holding the crystal in your power hand.  imagine the running water of a clear mountain stream.. once the image is in your minds eye, then take a deep breath and pulse your breath out through your nose, imagining sending the clear mountain stream into the crystal.  now light the green candle, dedicating it to the Great spirit, and then the red candle, dedicating it to your power spirit animal. 

put the crystal between and in front of the 2 candles so that they all form a triangle.  now gaze intently into the crystal, becoming aware of all of its aspects.  imagine healing light mobing into the crystal and becoming part of the latticework of the stone.  the stronger your imagination is, the more powerful the talisman will be.  Once you feel the image has become fixed in the crystal, say:

Oh great and mighty one,

Guardians of well-being and health

please fill this talisman with your great power,

so that it wards away disease and prevents illness

so mote it be!! blessed be!!

Allow both candles to safely burn down.  put the crystal in a small pouch or medicine bag, and carry it in your pocket or purse or wear it around your neck.

may 28...hollyhock charm

Never did this one but it seems very interesting. maybe one day I will try it so I figured i would share it.

I did some research and found that hollyhock means "holly mallow".  Hollyhocks taste like a mild green onion and were originally found in Europe for their nutritional and medical value.  They are particularly known to be helpful for ailments of the stomach.

need:
blue candle
clean, pesticide-free white hollyhock blossom (most likely you can find it on the internet)
and a green candle
a pouch

begin by lighting the blue candle,  dedicating it to a favorite healing goddess or your healing animal spirit. Then say:

All negativity and ill energy,

Be cleansed from all parts of my body,

So be it! Blessed Be!

Next, pull three petals from the blossom with your power hand, hold them up and say:

I am one with the healing powers of this flower.

now eat the petals slowly and imagine the healing power flowing into the your body.  put the blossom into the a pouch and say:

with this blossom as a sign

may this charm be divine,

so be it! blessed be!

tie or sew the pouch up so the blossoms remains inside.  now empower your healing charm be saying:

oh great and mighty ones that be

guardians of earth, air, fire, and water

may your divine healing power fill this charm,

and keep us healthy and free from harm

so mote it be!  blessed be!!

place the charm just outside your front door to keep those inside your home healthy and free from harm.

may 27...long distance healing

Space or distance do not create a problem in this type of healing, as it is done through psychic energy.  Healing energy moves beyond the time/space continuum.  This means you can effectively do a healing for someone anywhere on the planet.

need:
picture of the person
white candle

Create a healing circle.  Place the picture on the surface in front of you.  Feel yourself become one with the person.  This connects you with the person before you start the healing. 

Start thinking of the name of your power animal used for healing. Then say:

Great spirit of the (power animal)
Look over (person's name)
Keep them healthy and watch over them

(this should be repeated 3 times) then say:

So mote it be!!!

As you say the last line, throw your arms up to the sky, and image the healing energy that you have built up moving outward from the healing circle and directly to the person who needs the healing.

may 26...making a healing crystal

Need:
cedar and sage smudge stick
a piece of clear quartz

Start by lighting the stick and holding your crystal in the smoke until it feels clear of any unwanted energies that may be stored in it.  Be sure to completely extinguish the smudge stick when you are done clearing the crystal.

Next, take the crystal and cup it between your hands while thinking of everything that you associate with healing, such as feeling healthy and energized, freedom from pain and a warm, glowing feeling that makes you feel good all over.

After you get your healing images firmly in your mind, take a deep breath, hold it, and imagine those healing images and thoughts.  Pulse your breath sharply out through your nose, and as you exhale, imagine sending the healing energy into the crystal.  You can do this by imagining the energy moving into the crystal from you third eye or you can imagine the energy moving into the crystal through you hands.  Repeat the pulsed-breath process 3 times.  When you are done, keep the crystal in a special where you can take it out anytime you need some healing energy.  you can either hold it in your hand to energize your whole body with healing energy or place the healing stone on the part of your body that isn't feeling well. 

Recharge it with healing energy from time to time by using the same technique of pulsing your breath and sending healing thoughts into the crystal.

may 25...How to close your circle

Once you draw a magick circle, you do not leave it until you have released it.  After you bid farewell to the elements, follow these four steps to close the circle.

1.  Face north with your wand or staff in your power hand, pointed toward the north point of your magick circle.

2.  Slowly turn counterclockwise, and as you turn, imagine the blue-white light of the circle being sucked into the tip of your wand or staff.

3.  with your staff or wand, make a cut in the energy across the boundary of where the circle has been and say:

The circle is now open, but unbroken,

Merry meet, and merry part,

and merry meet again.

Blessed be!

4.  Your magick making is complete.

may 24...Balancing your four chakra

Your fourth chakra (the heart) can be a problem area for many of us as it deals with such aspects as feelings of love, empathy, and compassion.  It is where you feel your emotions.  It is represented in the body by the heart and lungs. When you use this technique, concentrate your energy in those areas. 

Need:
green candle
piece of rose quartz

Begin by holding the stone in your power hand.  Imagine the stone being completely cleared of all unwanted energy as you breath in and then pulse your breath out your nose.  After clearing the stone, charge it by imagining something or someone you associate with love, and use your breath to pulse the image into the stone.

Light the candle, dedicating it to your power animal.  Put the rose quartz in your power hand, and hold it on your heart chakra, right over your heart.  Feel the stone energizing the entire area and filling it with a bright rose-colored light.  Breath the color rose into the area, and breath out any unwanted energies.  Starting at your fourth chakra, the rose colored light moves outward throughout your body, until you feel yourself floating on a cloud of ecstatic happiness and pure joy.  Once you feel yourself filled with feelings of love and joy, say:

Spirit of Love

I feel your blessings,

Fill me with compassion and empathy,

For myself and others around me.

Now, imagine that loving and healing energy continuing to fill your heart and lungs.  As the candle burns down, go through all the people in your life, and let go of any ill feelings you have toward them.  Forgive them by simply saying:

I forgive (name of person).

Replace your negative feelings with feelings of empathy and compassion.  Then bless and send love to the people in your life that are important to your  Continue to do this for several minutes.
