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!

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.

May 23..Friendship Potion

Friends are loyal and caring
Friends are helpful and sharing
So be it!  Blessed Be!

Sip with a friend.

may 22...Sacred Circle Healing

To use a sacred circle for healing, you create a magickal space set up for that specific intention. You ask the Great Spirit to be part of your healing circle.  A sacred circle can be used for any intention not just healing.

Begin by casting a sacred circle as you did for the healing circle.  Once the circle is cast, think of a health problem you have that you want to heal.  Chant over and over again the name of a animal with which you connect spiritually.  As you do this, imagine bright, royal-blue light washing away the unwanted illness.  Do this for 5 minutes. 

Next, imagine bright, kelly-green light filling you completely, growing new and healthy patterns in you body.  Do this for 5 minutes.

Then, imagine bright, golden light filling your body, recharging it with sunshine.  Continue chanting the name of the animal energy over and over again until the energy in the circle rises to a level of intensity that fills you full of light and love.  At this point, throw your hands upward to the sky and shout with jubilation;

Blessed Be!! Blessed be! blessed be!

With the last blessed be, leave your arms up in the air, reaching out and connecting with the animal energy.  Allow the energy to fill you completely.  Finish your sacred circle healing by saying:

Dear Great Spirit, I pray you,
Let your healing light flow through me
By the Great Spirit, Blessed be!

When you are done, close the circle.

may 21...Creating a Healing Circle

For this you will need:
bowl of earth
sandalwood incense
white candle
cup of water
cleat quartz crystal (preferably a point)

Set all of the items on your altar or sacred table or area.  Light the candle and incense, dedicating them to your power animal.  Take the crystal in your power hand; use it as an athame to draw your magick circle in a clockwise motion.  After setting the crystal back on the table; pick up the bowl of earth. Hold it upward at the north point of the magick circle and say:

Spirit of the North

may 20...Balancing Your Third Chakra

The third chakra is located in the upper part of your stomach, just under your rib cage.  It is the source of your power and your will to move forward and achieve great things; however, it can also trap you in a loop where you are constantly trying to control and manipulate the people around you, driving you, and them crazy.  Your third chakra has to do with eating disorders, ulcers, and digestive problems.  By balancing your third chakra, you lessen you chances of having problems in this area.

Give to me my birthright,
So that I might shine bright,
So mote it be!

Become aware of the stone on your third chakra.  Feel its pulsating energy flow into you, empowering and soothing your stomach.  Do this for several minutes to fill the area with healing energy.

may 19...healing prayer for Mother Earth

I'm posting this one now because we wont be home much today and I don't want to forget.  This is one of my favorite blessings.

Mother Earth is being assaulted by the destruction of our public and private forests, the pollution of our air, global warming, and the destruction of her streams, rivers, and oceans.  The only way we are going to overcome this assault is by making our own space more in tune with nature.  We can all make a dramatic difference with our own gardens and giving back energy we don't use.  We can make a difference by planting brushes, flowers, and trees.

This prayer should be and can be done a regular basis.
Need:
large, living tree
and magick (as always)

Begin by walking clockwise around the tree 3 times.  Stop and place both palms on the tree's trunk; tune into the tree by breathing in deeply.  Imagine moving your awareness into the trunk, limbs, and leaves of the trees for a few minutes; then breath out.  Do this several times until you have a feeling for the tree's essence.  Now say:

Dear Great Spirit and Mother Earth,
You who are the givers and creators of all life,
I send to you all the love in my heart and soul
I pray you grant me the strength of this tree
Please Great Spirit and Mother Earth, grant me its wisdom and beauty
By the Great Spirit, blessed be!!

Feel your energy merge with that of the tree.  At the moment that this happens, say, "thank you" to the Great Spirit  and to the tree.  As you do, imagine a kinder and more loving world, one where the mother is vibrant and pollution is no longer a threat.  Each of us can help change the future for the better.  Your intention and what you do with it is the key.

may18...sunshine healing potion

may 17...balancing your second chakra

Now that we have learned how to balance the first we should learn how the balance the second chakra!  The second chakra is located at the womb or genitals, the second chakra has to do with sexuality, emotions, and creativity.  When you balance this chakra, you begin to perceive the connection between sex and creation and your emotions.  Your second chakra has to do with a creative drive that is essence of success and failure.  Although they appear separate, they are merely different polarities of the same thing, of  Oneness.  Balancing the second chakra is essential for mediation and journeying as well.

Need:
orange candle
sensuous or calming music
a stone such as red jasper, bloodstone, fluorite or cat's eye

Begin by lighting the candle and dedicating it to the divine energy of sensuality and creation.  Put on some music that lends itself to the mood.  Hood the stone in your power hand, place it on your second chakra, and say:

You are the force that runs between flower and seed,
You are the energy that fulfills my every need,
I am you and you are me, and we all are together,
We are part of that divine that lives forever,
We are one! Blessed Be!

As you stare into the flame of the candle, imagine all of your sexual and creative forces coming into together into a strong and powerful current, like a river.  You can move this energy toward any creative projects you might have, such as sewing a dress, writing a poem, or starting a new business.

may 16...house cleaning magick way

This is a magickal house cleaning.  I've been doing same research and found that many many many years ago the broom was used for sweeping away unwanted energy along with the dirt in the house.  This was one way to "hide" the fact that you were doing magick.  Now you can make your own broom or besom and even use a traditional stick and bristle broom.

Need:
a cedar and sage smudge stick
fireproof bowl
and of course a broom or besom

Begin by lighting the smudge stick and blowing on it so the smoke fills the space.  Use the bowl to catch any hot ashes.  As you do this say:

All evil and foulness be banished,
By the will of the Goddess,
So be it! 

Repeat the procedure in the other rooms in your home you want to cleanse until the while house is cleansed.  Take the broom and move through your home, making sweeping motions.  This sweeps any remaining unwanted energy out.  Say:

With this broom
I sweep all unwanted energy
From this room.

Imagine a white light filling your home and radiating from every room.
Say:

Dear God and Goddess, bless my home
Fill it with divine love and light
With happiness and joy
Now and forevermore
So mote it be! Blessed Be!

I suggest doing this once a month or so and to do it on a new moon.  The new moon is for new beginnings.

This spell will help you get rid of unwanted habits by "putting" them in the stone and banshing them from your life.

Need:
a stone
bowl of water
3 tbsp of sea salt

begin be holding the stone in your power hand (left if your right handed and right if your left handed).  See your problems in your mind's eye.  Visualize these problems moving from you being into the stone in your hand.  As you do this, say:

may 14...bread blessing

Bread is normally used in most rituals as a gift along with wine or juice.  I've never made it but it did sound interesting.

Need:
3 cups flour
1cup milk
1 tsp olive oil
3 tsp of sugar
1 pkg of dry active yeast
and a bowl

blend all the ingredients together into the bowl, blessing each as you add it by saying:

Dear Lady, bless this flour,
Dear Lady, bless this milk,
Dear lady, bless this olive oil,
Dear lady, bless this sugar,
Dear lady, bless this yeast.

Mix all the ingredients with a spoon until they form a ball that you can work with your hands.  Add more flour if its too wet, and add milk if it is too dry.  Knead the ball until it resembles clay.  As you knead it, say:

Dear lady, bless this bread.

Next, put the dough into a baking dish and put it in a warm place to rise.  once the dough has risen to 2 or 3 times its size, put it in an oven preheated to 350 degree. Bake it for 40-50 minutes.  Before you eat the bread, say:

Wheat from the earth,
Milk from the Mother,
Together with the living power of yeast,
They bring to me this healthy feast.
By earth, air, fire, and water, Blessed Be!!

The most important thing to remember when making bread is that the yeast is a living entity.  As such, it must be fed and giving an environment that is conductive to its well-being.  It feeds on sugar and it likes an environment that is warm.

Your chakras are energetic system within your being that need to be regularly balanced for you to stay healthy.  Your first root or chakra symbolizes survival and matters of trust; it is represented in your body by the bones, the base of the spine, and the digestive system.  Many lower-back problems stem from the first chakra.

This goblet that I offer, Thee
It is yours for all you do,

May 5..blessing of the food

Many shamans believe that everything should be blessed before coming involved with it, whether its a tree or another person or someones home or their food.  By blessing things, we cleanse it of bad energies.  We do not want any bad energies to take us over, only positive so we can do good work.

This technique was first taught to me by my mentor, Noupia.  He believed that your food should be blessed so that when you eat it you will be filled with good, positive energies.  Please keep in mind this blessing is also meant for wholesome, healthy foods.

I re-wrote this is for either Shaman or Wiccan use.

Perform this blessing over the food you are about to eat.

Begin by placing your hands, palms down, over the food.  Imagine a bright, white light moving from your hands into your food.  This light is one of health and vitality.  It is the light of the Great spirit or God and Goddess.  Move the energy into the food, energizing and blessing it.  Finish be giving your thanks for the food by saying:

Dear Goddess and God (or Great spirit)
Bless this food you have provided me
Thank you for your gift
In the name of the Lady and the Lord (or Great Spirit)
Blessed Be!

As you eat imagine eat bite making you feel healthier and stronger.

May 4...Healing Bath

May is a great month for healing so many of my blessing or spells will be healing related.

Bay leaf has a soothing quality to it, mainly when it is added to warm water.  In this blessing, each leaf represents a healing quality you want to bring to your life.

Need:
bay leaves
tub of warm water
And your may day healing stone :-)

Begin by placing the leaves one at a time into the tub of water.  As you submerge each leaf, imagine its healing qualities flowing into the bath.  Next, with your healing stone in your power hand, step into the bath and get comfortable.  Close your eyes and imagine that you are at the seashore.  In front of you is an easel with a blank canvas and paints.  Imagine picking up the paints and painting a portrait of yourself.  Paint the picture of a vibrant and healthy you. 

As you do this, feel the healing waters in the tub all around you.  Take several deep breaths and imagine breathing in the healing power of the water.

Remember to put the stone back in a safe place to use again.

May 3....healing wish

Healing Wishes

Need:
3 green candles
sheet of paper
a pen

This can be done for yourself and someone else that is need of healing.  Write down a healing wish or wishes on the piece of paper. Place the paper in front of the candles.  Each of the three candles represents a wish so if there are more wishes then you will need more candles. 

Take each candle and inscribe each one with a healing wish--one per candle.  Light the first candle, focusing your attention on the flame.  Imagine your first wish coming true and say:

Fire spirit of the light
Whose power burns bright
Let my healing wish become reality.
(State your wish)
one, two, three, I (or the person name) am/is healthy.
So mote it be!  Blessed Be!

Continue this for each wish.

Allow the candles to safetly burn down on their own.  As they so, make a few notes on the paper as to some of the step you can take right now to move your healing wishes along in the righ direction.  Each step maybe small and the process maybe slow but as long as it's positive it is right.  Refer to it offer and imagine the healing taking place within you.  Continue until the healing wish is true.

May 2...Forgiveness

Forgiveness

As you grow older it is best to let go of past anger and disliked thoughts, which have a tendency to weight you down, and can sometimes effect your health and stress levels.  It's best not to hang onto these angers and thoughts and to forgive certain people in your life.  Always remember forgiving does not mean you're forgetting just coming to peace with it and moving on.

Need:
white candle
sheet of paper and pen

Begin be writing the names of the person that you have the grievance with and what you want to forgive.  Light the candle, dedicating it to a favorite god or goddess.  Set the sheet of paper in front of the candle so you can easily read the names.  Now go down the list while saying the following for each person.

*Name of person*
I forgive you as I hope you will forgive me,
So that we might forever live in harmony,
As I will, so mote it be.

Say the blessing for each person on your list.  Fold the piece of paper 3 times, and seal it with the wax from the candle.  Dig a small hole outdoors, and bury the paper.  If any the anger persists, perform the spell over again as many times as it takes for you to forgive them.  With some people you might find it takes a few times, but in the end its worth it.

Aventurine is a healing stone that Indians believe to be noted for its abilities to strengthen eyesight(inner), increase perception and calm emotions.  You can use another stone that may have similar abilities as well.

Cover the stone with dewdrops that cover the grass and low-growing flowers. (you will need to get up very early to collect the dew).  The dew gathered on May Day morning has powerful healing properties.  As you cover the stone repeat 3 times:

Healing morning dew of grass and flowers
Flow into this stone and fill it with your powers
Blessed Be!  As I will, so shall it be!

Carry the stone with you in your pocket or purse, in a medicine bag to continuously access its healing energies.  Recharge the stone every year.
