A Spell of Self-Love

Sometimes the best Witchcraft path to take when you wish to attract love
and good fortune is to increase your self-love. This week long spell will
change the way you view the world, reinvesting it with magick and beauty.
It is especially recommend if your energy is down or if you are feeling
cynical and jaded. This life-refresher is guaranteed to make you feel
wonderful.
Every morning for seven days awake alone. Upon awakening repeat these words
seven
times.
I allow my beauty to shine
I respect this body which my Divine Mother gave me
I will keep my mind healthy
And my spirit strong
And know that I am beloved of her now and always.
Morning 1
Walk to a sanctuary. there, pray to the Mother. Allow yourself at least two
hours silence in the early morning. Do not speak: this will allow the
Mother to come into your thoughts and manifest herself. It will also allow
your Higher Self to begin communicating with you far more directly. Pray to
the Goddess before retiring.
Morning 2
Awaken early. Pray to the Goddess. Remain silent. Take a love bath in
lukewarm water steeped with rose petals-add essential oil of lemon to
invigorate you for the day. Bathe for 15 minutes, meditating on the wonders
of being alive. Examine your body and cleanse it with reverence. Stretch
your limbs and admire the beauty of your body. Appreciate how it works for
you, the pleasure it brings you and the myriad of functions it performs. Be
assured: you are beautiful.
Morning 3
Cast a circle, and meditate within it for 20 minutes. Call forth your 'wild
woman' (the spirited, untamed side of your Higher Self, who speaks honestly
from pure instinct and is a valuable friend). Listen to her and let her
guide you. After this, write down on parchment her instructions to you, and
begin to act on them today. Wear rose geranium for self-love and
re-balancing of hormones. Allow yourself several private moments throughout
the day to meditate on the message of the morning.
Morning 4
Time to get physical! Put on some invigorating wild and frenzied music and
shake, dance and leap around to it, allowing energy to move through your
body and loosen up your chakras (energy channels). Let your wild woman
dance for you-get completely loose and wild; yell, scream or whoop if those
feelings come up. Experience the joy of being a physical person, and as you
slowly calm down focus on your breathing. On the in breath repeat:
I am beloved of the Mother
All that is mine shall come to me.
Repeat this affirmation until you feel ready to take on the day.
Morning 5
Plant something-a tree, a shrub or herb-to symbolizes the growth of your new
self, and the success of your new endeavors. (This should encourage you to
take care of your plants!)Plant this living symbol barehanded-don't wear
gloves. Get your hands deep in the dirt-go all the way and get your feet
into the dirt, too. Getting your hands dirty and planting your feet right
into the ground will remind you that you are of the Earth and that the
Earth is your Mother. Remember this as you go through your day. This is an
extremely valuable exercise for people who tend to work and live in their
heads. Uni. students take note!
Morning 6
Today you will rise early enough to watch the Sun rise. Think of all the
wonderful things which are coming to you. Use path working to add power to
this ritual. After glorying in the birth of the day, pick some flowers
(from the wild, or a park or garden). Keep these with you on your desk or
at home throughout the day, and remind yourself of the miracle of the
sunrise, and of the magick you too can work through your lifetime. This
evening, take yourself to the same place and witness the sun leaving the
sky. Again do your affirmations and path working. This is very simple as it
reconnects you with nature and your dreams in a very powerful way. Be
prepared for change!
Morning 7
Perform a wish spell with special significance for you. Stay in bed all day
if you wish, and if possible take a mental health break from work in order
to focus on your inner self. In our culture, being 'selfish' is heavily
criticized, especially in women-but time spent contemplating your own
nature in an honest and wise manner is never a waste of time. Spend this
day doing this, and celebrating your power and refreshed energy. Drink one
glass of red wine steeped with cloves as the evening star comes out. Toast
to your new beginnings.
This may seem very long and maybe not worth the effort, but in order to
achieve true self-love and appreciation of yourself you need to spend more
than one night spell casting to do it. Some things take time, but the
rewards for your effort and perseverance are well worth it.
Self Confidence Spell
To help you gain self confidence in all areas of your life. Stand before
your magick mirror or bathroom mirror if you have no magick mirror. look at
your self in the mirror. What do see? Do you see yourself self assured?,
successful?, talented?, worthy of love and friendship?, prosperous? If you
say no to any of these, why. Look honestly at why you feel that is so. Is
it realistic, are your negative feelings about yourself based in reality?
what can you do to change those feelings about yourself? When you have
finished your self analysis. Light a red candle (if using the bathroom
mirror you can place the candle on the basin, if the magick mirror hold the
candle in your hand; preferably have the candle in a candle holder) and
concentrate on the flame for about thirty seconds or so before looking into
your eyes. Tell yourself something along these
lines:
"I am beautiful and special. I love you. I'm perfect and I can do anything
I want to.
Next go to your altar and burn an incense of three parts wood aloe, two
parts
frankincense and one part nutmeg. Light a blue candle for inner peace and
harmony, and a white candle for outer peace, and balance. On a piece of
parchment paper, write down all the things in life you want to achieve.
Read over it and affirm in your mind that can achieve these goals, and will
achieve them, visualize them having already happened. As you visualize each
goal coming to fruition tick off the goal, like you do with a list of
things to do. Then fold the paper in two, and set it on fire, one half from
the blue candle the other from the white. Toss the paper into a fire proof
container or cauldron then concentrating on the two candles, say these or
similar words:
Mother Goddess and Father God (You may use your patron deities if you wish)
You have created me out of love, a perfect being, a reflection of your
love, your wisdom, strength, and virility. You have infused within me, your
spark. Your divine presence. You have filled me with the potential to do
great things, the ability to achieve whatever I will to do in life.
I call forth this potential, my inner strength, my inner wisdom, my inner
beauty, my inner confidence, my inner self-assurance to manifest itself in
my life to create a harmonious balance with my outer self. I call upon my
inner resources, to manifest into my life, to create for me a state of
self-confidence and successful assurance within myself.
May it be reflected in my everyday workings, through confidence to speak
openly, through tactile thinking, through knowing the right action to take
at the right time.
I banish from myself shyness, introversion, and awkwardness.
From this time on, I will always know the right words to speak, the right
actions to take, the ability to converse freely with no inhibition.
Through your power Goddess and God, which is manifest in me, I will it to
be so for the good of all and the harm of none, So mote it be!
Let the candles and incense burn themselves out. This spell is best
followed by working with your chakras, removing any blockages from them
that you might find.
Spell for self-confidence
Incense blend Frankincense, benzoin, dragons blood, mace, orange peel, rose
petals
Preferably choose a time just before Full Moon. Form your magic circle and be
very still. Imagine warmth within you, gathering behind your navel and
gradually spreading outwards so the whole of your body feels warm and glowing.
Light a golden yellow candle and say:
'May my inner confidence glow like this candle flame.
May it be an ever-burning flame inside me
May it glow like the Moon and, having reached fullness,
remain constant as the Northern Star.
As this candle burns and is transformed, so my
inner confidence becomes complete.
So shall it be.'
When you are ready, close down your ritual and your psychic centers consciously and thoroughly. You may put the candle somewhere safe to burn out
or relight it each day until it is finished.
