A spell is an intent that you put out to the Universe, with a specific outcome in mind. However, always beware your intention, and keep in mind "Harm none" and the Rule of Three! Do not be the victim of your own selfishness, greed or revenge. Below you will find some simple spells from my Book of Shadows. Feel free to use them (Copyrighted. May not be reproduced for commercial purposes without my express written permission.), or create your own! Healing Spell Use this spell to bring emotional or physical healing to yourself (or another, with their permission!). You will need: a white taper candle, sandalwood or myrrh oil, sandalwood, myrrh, or frankincense incense, and a quiet, peaceful room. Cast a circle of energy, if you wish, and prepare your supplies. Sit quietly for a few moments, and center yourself. Relax, letting all tension fall away. Anoint the candle with your oil, beginning from the BASE of the candle, and working upward. As you anoint it, say aloud, "I anoint and charge this candle with the power of the Goddess, and ask that it be filled with Her healing energy." Then anoint your own brow with the oil, and say aloud, "I cleanse myself of all negativity, and prepare myself for the healing energy of the Goddess." Light the incense, then the candle, and say, "With the lighting of this candle, I welcome the Goddess into my life, and accept her healing with joy and gratitude." Sit back and breathe deeply and slowly, visualizing the healing energy flowing into you. You can picture the energy as white, blue, pink, whatever color seems most soothing to you. See this energy flowing around and through you, cleansing you and healing you. Repeat periodically, "I accept your healing, Goddess. I accept your healing." You may also wish to state the type of healing that you are in need of. For example, say, "I release the emotional pain of my past, and the effect it now has on me." Or, "I release my physical pain to you, Goddess, and ask that I be healed of my ills". When the candle has burned all the way down (or as far down as time allows), sit quietly for another few moments, thank the Goddess, then break the circle, and proceed with your day. This spell works best if repeated on a daily basis, perhaps first thing in the morning. If you don't have a lot of time to wait for the candle to burn all the way down, simply extinguish it after each session, and re-light it the next time. I have used this spell many times, with great success. Weight Loss Spell On the first night of the waning moon, cast a circle and light a white candle, and Vanilla or Sandalwood incense. Take a red candle and carve this rune on it several times:  Anoint the red candle with patchouly oil, from the top, down to the base. Light the candle while chanting: 
"Goddess of the Moon, I seek Thy power.Help me now, in my needful hour. By the silvery light of the waning moon, My body's girth is decreasing soon. As the moon wanes this night, So does my body, until it's right. Empower me Goddess, with all your might, That the outcome is mine on this very night!" Give thanks, then uncast the circle, letting the red candle burn all the way down. Repeat this spell several times throughout the period of the waning moon. Inner Beauty Spell We don't have to look like fashion models to be beautiful. Society today places way too much emphasis on physical beauty. What makes a person truly beautiful is when they glow with an inner light, when their spirit shines through the physical. This spell will help you to release your own true beauty. You will need: one pink taper candle, two white taper candles, jasmine or lavender oil, myrrh or rose incense, and your favorite scented body lotion. Cast a circle around the whole bathroom, if possible. (You may need to tell other family members that you do not want to be disturbed for awhile.) Draw a warm bath, pouring a few drops of oil into the water. Anoint the candles with the oil, from the base, up to the top. Light the candles and incense. Disrobe, and look at yourself in the mirror. DO NOT be critical of yourself. DO NOT point out your "flaws"! Instead just look. Notice things about yourself without judging. Notice that you have two arms, two legs, a torso, breasts, a neck, etc. Look at your face, into your eyes, look at your hair. Again, do not pass judgement upon yourself for anything about your body. Just Look. Observe. Step into the tub, sinking into the soft, warm water. Splash the water gently over yourself, inhaling the sweet scent. Lie back and close your eyes, and visualize the person you just saw in the mirror. See her standing before you, naked and defenseless. Start focusing on surrounding her with pink, loving light. See this loving light as it grows, gently surrounding her, filling the empty places in her, filling her with love. See this light hugging her, comforting her, warming her. Know that this person before you IS you, and you are being filled with divine love and acceptance. Know that you are important, you are special, you are truly beautiful. And you are completely surrounded with love. Feel this love, this pink light, as it soaks into you, calming you, relaxing you. Know that you are loved, just as you are. Know that you are beautiful, just as you are. Stay in the tub for as long as you wish, breathing deeply, filling yourself with the pink light of love. Then step out of the tub, pat yourself dry with a soft, fluffy towel, and lather yourself with your favorite scented body lotion. Put on your comfiest outfit, and relax! Do something that you really enjoy, something relaxing. Read a good book, take a nap, take a slow, leisurely walk. Doing this on a regular basis will help you to accept yourself, to appreciate yourself, and will let your inner beauty out. Spell to Locate a Lost Object Anoint a yellow candle with Lemongrass oil, from the base, up to the top. Light the candle and some Jasmine incense. Sit quietly and say: "Object I seek, come to me; wherever ye hide, I shall see. And as my word, so mote it be!" Then close your eyes, and focus your attention on your third-eye area (center of forehead). Be open to any impressions you receive as to where your object may be. If you don't see much at first, don't get discouraged. It just may jump out at you later. Cleansing a Home of Negative Energy Negative energy can often linger in a dwelling, causing all kinds of problems, from fatigue to appliance failure. If you've just moved into a new home, or if your home has a negative feel to it, it's a good idea to cleanse it of all unwanted influences. (in fact, it's a good idea to do this frequently in your home, whether you sense negative energy or not!) First clean your home physically, getting it as uncluttered as possible, especially in the corners. Sweep or vacuum the floors, removing all dust and dirt. (this is an important step, don't skip it!) You will need: one white taper candle for every room in the house, plus one for each entrance to your house; Myrrh, Sandalwood or Sage incense (the same number of sticks as the candles). (Don't forget holders for the candles and incense.) Sandalwood oil, a chalice of water, and sea salt. Prepare a chalice of warm water and dissolve some sea salt in it. Take a cleansing shower or bath, but before you begin washing, hold the chalice of salt water in your hands, and "charge" it with white light. Ask to be purified of all negative energies and entities. Pour the salt water over yourself, from head to foot. Visualize white light energy removing all negativity. Then continue with your shower like usual. After drying off, anoint yourself with the oil (on brow, heart, and each shoulder). Ask for white-light protection from the Goddess, and visualize white light surrounding you. Anoint each candle with the oil, starting from the base, up to the top. Set one candle (and one stick of incense) in each room of the house, and one at each entrance to the house. Prepare another chalice of warm salt water. Walk through your house with the salt water, sprinkling it thoroughly in each room, being sure to get some into corners and closets, behind doors, anywhere negativity can gather. As you sprinkle, you might chant something like: "Negative energy may not stay, I release it and send it on its way. Negative energy, I banish thee, And as my word, so shall it be!" Say this with confidence and power in your voice. Continue sprinkling salt water in every possible area of your home. Once you've finished that, light the candles and incense. (Be sure they're not near anything flammable!) Let them burn all the way down. While they are burning down, sit in a quiet location and visualize white light energy infusing every room of your home. Doing this ritual every few months will leave a calm, cozy feeling in your house. You can also place dishes (or make sachets to hang) of protective herbs around your house. Lavender flowers, fennel seeds, and basil work well at keeping negativity away. Simple Money Spell Take a quarter and anoint it with patchouly or cinnamon oil. Charge it by holding it between your palms and visualizing powerful energy flowing into it, turning it into a magnet for abundance. Kiss the quarter (for good luck) and toss it into a river or the sea while chanting: "Money be, I set ye free, to multiply and come back to me. And as my will, so mote it be!" Visualize the quarter traveling the waters, gathering wealth and returning to you. Create openings in your life for the money to come in. Apply for a better job, enter contests, purchase lottery tickets (in moderation obviously). You have set the energies in motion, now you need to create opportunities for this wealth to enter your life! Spell for Finding Your Soulmate (**Note: DO NOT do love spells with a particular person in mind! It will not work out the way you hope, and will only cause pain for everyone involved. You should never do anything to interfere with another's free will. **) This spell is designed to help draw your soulmate to you, your true soulmate. It may take some time for it to work, so be patient! You will need: one pink taper candle, and one white taper candle. Lavender oil and Rose or Vanilla incense. Take a shower or bath, and anoint yourself with the oil (brow and heart). Cast a circle and anoint the candles with the oil, starting from the base, up to the top. Light the candles and incense. Sit quietly for a few moments, gazing into the candle flames. Say: "Goddess, I invite love into my life, in the form of a healthy, mature relationship. Please send my soulmate to me, the one meant just for me, the one who is searching for me even as I search for him/her. Goddess, please send me my love. My heart is open to receive your blessings, and I do so with gratitude." Let the candles burn all the way down if possible, then uncast the circle, and proceed with your day. Do not obsess over the spell, do not feel that you need to go out looking for your soulmate. Just continue with your everyday life, and he/she will find you when the timing is right. Blessing Spell The next time you have a few extra bucks in your pocket, take a walk anywhere you feel drawn to. While on your walk, start dropping the bills/coins on the ground while chanting: "As this money has come to me, may it now flow to thee. By the power of three times three, Only the eyes of the needy shall see The blessing I offer to he or she. A gift of love, to set them free. And as I will it, so shall it be!" While chanting, visualize a needy person coming upon the money and being awed by their good fortune, such as a single mother trying to make ends meet, or an elderly person on a fixed income. By the Law of Three, this act of kindness will come back to you someday, but do not focus on that. Think only of the joy a needy person will feel when they come upon your gift of love. © Copyright 2001-2006 Wendy Betterini Used with Permission.
