day 5..april 30th..Headache color charm

This spell I got for the a friend who find it in one of her books, I woke this morning with an headache and instead of swallowing my normal pain to rid myself of it I tried this charm and it worked.  I did find that I took me a while to focus on the colors and the whole charm took me about an hr and half to do but my headache is gone :-)

For this spell you need:

strips of colored paper or cloth in red, orange, yellow, green, blue indigo, and purple
a white envelope to hold the strips.
(or you can paint the colors on white strips)

Begin by closing your eyes and taking three deep breaths.  Focus in on your headache pain--its intensity and location.  Now imagine this pain as a red circle on your forehead (or whatever it is most intense). 

Open your eyes, and focus on the red strip of paper for a moment.  Close your eyes again, and imagine the redness of your headache. 

Open your eyes, and look at the orange strip of paper.  Close your eyes again and imagine the redness of your headache turning to orange.  Take a deep breath and imagine breathing the color orange into the area of your headache. 

Now open you eyes, and look at the yellow strip of paper. Close your eyes, and imagine the orangeness of your headache becoming yellow.  Breath the color yellow into your headache area. 

Next, open your eyes, and look at the green strip of paper.  Close your eyes, and breathe the color yellow into your headache area. 

Once again open your eyes, and this time look at the blue strip of paper.  Breath the color blue into your headache. 

Open your eyes, and focus on the indigo strip. Close your eyes, and breath the color indigo into your headache. 

Finally open your eyes, and focus on the white envelope.  Close you eyes and breathe the color white into the headache area for several minutes.  Take several deep breaths and then open your eyes.  Your headache pain will most likely be gone.

Keep your headache charm envelope handy, in a desk drawer or in your purse, so you can use it whenever you need.  Also, as you get more adept at this healing method, you can simple imagine the colors in you mind's eye without referring to the colored strips of paper or cloth.

Blessed Be!

day 4...long, healthy happy life potion

I was dreaming the other night of a past, someone very close to me (my spirit sister) may remember this.  We were twin and just starting out in our soon to see short life.  We were outside our teepee (our home) and we were making a drink for our shaman priestess, our mentor, our mother.  It was our first time brewing this and we were very proud girls that we had done it well.   We were grow in power and knowledge everyday, we knew and everyone in our tribe knew we would one day be very powerful shaman priestess :) 

Anyways, when I woke I remember the brew and wrote it down.  This brew is for a healthy, long (or as long as it is suppose to be) life :)

The secrets to long life have been sought by many and everyone has their own ideas of it.  This was mine.

You will need:

2 cups of apple juice
1/4 cup cranberry juice
3 tsp of honey
and 1 cinnamon stick

Heat the juices, honey and cinnamon stick in a ceramic or glass pot over low heat.  Warm the potion very slowly for about an hour.  Stir the brew often, and always clockwise.  Each time you do, chant over and over:

Apple, berry, honey and spice
Help me live a long, happy life.

This recipe makes about 2 servings.  You can drink it by yourself and with a friend.  As you sip the brew imagine yourself living a long and healthy life.  Move your mind into the future even if its just a day or week or year.  Imagine yourself growing older.  Imagine yourself as an elderly, bright person filled with energy, joy and happiness.  And know that you are well loved in the life you are living now.

This is for you my sister :-)
Blessed Be!!

Saturday's spell day 3...

This blessing can be used in many different ways.  I use it for inner and outer calmness or patience (hehehe still waiting) maybe I should do it more often.

You will need:
a ballpoint pen
a red candle
a white candle
a blue candle (this color candle can be changed depending on what thing your focusing on)
a red flower
white flower
and blue flower (again the color depends)
a bowl of cool salt water and a small mirror.

cleanse your area as always and cleanse the water.

Rinse the candles in the water and dry them.  Place the mirror face up in front of the candles, and put the flowers on top of its reflective surface.  Next, use the pen to inscribe your full name on each o the candles, and then write the word (your focus word) "calmness" on top of your name.  Light the red candle first, and as you do say,

Powers of fire, powers of red

Bring out my "calm", from toe to head

Next light the white candle with the red one and say,

Powers of the fire, powers of white

Bring out my "calm", day and night

Then light the blue candle (or whatever color you or using) with the white one and say,

Powers of fire, powers of blue

Bring out my calm with all I say and do.

Hold the mirror with the flowers on it so you can see your reflection.  As you do this, say three times:

Mirrored flowers of red, white and blue

Reflect my calm in all I say and do.

When you are done, allow the candles to safely burn down.  Keep the flowers fresh in a vase of water for three days.  When the blossoms are spent, put them under your favorite flower bush or tree to encourage your inner and outer calmness to flourish and blossom.

Blessed be!

April 27 blessing..day 2

Tree power magic

The people who crested the Findhorn Garden in northern Scotland did so by consulting the spirit of each plant to find the best way to care for it.  The idea of this spell is to become one with the spirit of the trees and the earth and to discover our sacred and empowering connection.

You will need a tree with which you can sit down and do this meditation, plus your imagination :-)

Begin by putting both of your palms on the trunk of the tree, and imagine it basic spirit.  Imagine its root growing deep within the ground, and then see its trunk and limbs, its leaves, and the tree in its entirety.  As you do this, repeat over and over:

I am the tree,

The tree is me,

And together,

We live forever,

As one.

Visualize yourself connecting with the essence and spirit of the tree you are touching as well as all trees--beings who have existed considerably longer than humans on the Earth.  Your roots are your ancestors, your trunk is your life's foundation, and your branches are your many aspects.  Your leaves are like your thoughts, which act as receptors of light, turning it into renewed growth toward the divine source.

This spell is a great blessing to do for a beginner of Shaman training as well.  It teaches you the beginning stages of meditation.

Blessed be!

To break an addiction blessing

There may come a time in your life when you find yourself addicted to something, be it junk food, TV, cigarettes, or alcohol.  This spell will help you minimize and break these addictions or help keep them broken.  I use it on a daily basis.

 You will need a white candle, a ballpoint pen, a sage and/cedar smudge stick or incense will do as well and of course a garbage can.

Begin by using the pen and writing your addiction on the candle.  For example, you might write coffee or cigarettes or yelling.  Then draw an X through the word.  Light the smudge stick or incense and pass the candle through the smoke for a few minutes.  As you do say:

    Smoke of cedar, cleanse me of this addiction,
    Let my strength burn bright and never dim,
    I no longer need (name of addiction)
    I know I am healthy and bright,
    Today, tomorrow, the next day and ever day
    Blessed be! So mote it be!
When you are done smudging the candle, break it into small pieces.  As you do this, imagine breaking your addiction once and for all.  With each piece you break off, say:

    I am no longer addicted to (name of addiction) right now.

Throw all the pieces in the garbage, imagining throwing away your addiction once and for all.  Repeat this spell as often as you need to.
