The Spell of the Holly Stone
.jpg)
This spell originates from the folk belief that looking through the hole of a sacred object can allow the viewer to see into the world of fairies and other spirits. In Tuscany it is believed that the other sight can be obtained by looking through a consecrated ring or a wreath made of verbena.
To find a stone with a hole through it is a powerful talisman, sacred to the goddess Diana.l There are several versions of this spell and so I will share two of them here.
A.) To seek for a Holy Stone, arise at dawn and go out upon a road towards a meadow or into the hills. Take with you a red wool pouch and gather some herbs of Rue and Vervain. If, in you search for the herbs, you should come upon a stone with a hole through it, then pick it up and say:
I have found a Holly Stone upon the ground.
O Destiny, I thank you for the joyful find.
and also the spirit upon this road
who has given it to me.
May it prove to be for my true
and good fortune.
Now it is time to ask the spirit to enter the stone so that it will be an object of power. To do this, toss the stone up and catch it three time in succession, place it in your pocket, and say the following:
Good spirit of omens
who has come to my aid
believing I had need of you,
spirit of the red Fairy
since you have come to aid me in
my need,
I pray that you will not abandon me!
I beg you now to enter this sphere
that I carry in my pocket,
and when I have need of anything
that I call upon you, what ever need it may be,
and neither by night or day
will you ever abandon me.
After this, place the stone and the herbs in the wool pouch, give thanks to Diana,and return home.
B.) If you find a stone with a hole in it, on a beach or in the sea, it is a powerful talisman for seeing into the spirit world. The stone is considered in the manner of the first spell. Once properly prepared, take the stone with you to a cemetery and stand just before the burial grounds. Hold the stone up to your left eye and look through the hole, while keeping the right eye closed. Then say the following:
In Nome di San Piietro,
E di San Biagio,
Fate che da questa pietra
possa vedere che forma
Fanno gli spiriti.
Fanno gli spiriti.
De profundia clamao
In te Domine, Domine!
Et Domine, et fiantatis,
Bugsein et regina materna,
Egdognis Domine!
Folk belief has it that you will see the spirits of the departed. You may also see the Crone aspect of the goddess walking with a lighted torch.
Spell to Find a Home
This is best performed during the Waxing phase of the Moon. On a piece of
white paper, in Dove's Blood ink, draw a picture of the home you want, and
visualize it in detail. Place it on your alter under a brown candle anointed
with Rosa Ava oil. Use white alter candles, a single rose centerpiece, and
Spirit Help incense. Go to your alter after sundown. Light white candles as
usual, and light the brown candle, saying:
This is my home, my earth, my cave, my castle.
Demeter, help to make it better.
Demeter, bring me home!
Bring me home!
Bring me home!!
So mote it be!!
Do this spell three nights, and actively look for a place during the spell
period. Dispose of the spell as usual.

Black Cat Candle Spell
......southern voodoo folklore
this ritual is an example of reverse symbolism which abounds in folklore.
in one legend an herb, or stone, or whatever, brings only good fortune. in
other legends, the same items cause disaster. this spell contradicts the
common superstition regarding black cats who usually are held in ill repute.
the effect of this ritual was meant to be that the conjurer would control
the forces that legend normally attributes to the stygian beast and reverse
them; good for bad. this could be a blending of ancient egyptian respect
for the cat and southern folkfore.
.................the ritual
the cat candle was annointed with success oil, a perfumed oil of alleged
voodoo concoction. it was burned seven minutes the first night and eleven
minutes the second night. this sequence kept on with seven minutes the
third night and eleven minutes the fourth, and so on until the operator
decided enough good luck had been gained.....
note........in voodoo folklore seven is a lucky number for conjuring, but
nine is considered better. they total eighteen, double the nine. thus we
can see the reasoning behind this spell, 'seven come eleven', the old
gambler call; something twice as good should always work better.
4 thieves vinegar spell..........marie laveau
the legend:
marie laveau, a voodoo queen of oldnew orleans , used the potion called 4
thieves vinegar in a number of ways she claimed would drive enemies away;

(1) smearing the liquid on the enemy's doorknob where it would be sure to be
touched,
(2) putting a small amount of it in a bottle together with the enemy's name
written on parchment paper, and throwing the sealed bottle into the moving
water of a stream or river. as it floated away, it allegedly drew the enemy
with it in the sense that he or she would want to move from their immediate
abode.

High John the Conqueror Oil Spell
.........................Voodoo folklore
The legend:
an old voodoo custom and belief was to rub a green candle with High John
oil, and burn it completely. this ritual was repeated for seven nights, and
it was thought to bring the supplicant money, love, and health. the
spellcasting was always started on a sunday.
High John the Conqueror Powder Spell
the purpose was the same reasons that High John the Conqueror oil was used.
however, the method was entirely different. a green candle was lit, and a
small amount of the powder sprinkled in the flame. next an equal amount was
dropped into a pot of boiling water. the hands were passed through the
smoke of the candle, and through the steam arising from the pot. this was
done each day until satisfaction was felt.
Daruma Stack Spell
The famous Buddhist priest Dharma of the sixth century, sat in meditation
for many years on the side of a lonely, uninhabited mountain. Eventually
this austerity caused him to lose his legs. He was famous as a very wise
and gentle man, and many felt to be in his presence was to be blessed.
During the centuries as he became more revered as a symbol of good luck,
statues of him were refined to show only the venerable head. These round
charms became known as Darumas. It was believed a stack or column of these
heads represented a means of controlling the misfortune that might affect a
person's life. A Daruma stack would have eight graduated, colorful heads.
The upper seven heads stand for the seven days of the week. To avert
misfortune, each day one head was turned halfway in the morning, and halfway
at dusk so that it had regained its postition. Only one head per day was
moved..........

Cat Spell for Spiritual Growth
Materials For Spell:
* Cast -off whiskers
*Statures or pictures of Bast and
*A Stamp or picture of a cat's paw print
*Incense: lotus, jasmine, or frankincense
* A cat's eye stone; this can be set jewelry if you
want to wear it afterwards.
*two white candles
Timing :
Light of the moon or Full moon if you are trying to understand Upper world Powers
Dark of the moon or new moon if you are struggling to understand the mysterious Underworld Powers.
Spiritual growth isn't a one-time "I've got it" proposition. Ideally, it is a continuous, upward spiral of knowledge-seeking which never ends. Sometimes a metaphorical light will come on, and we will understand a single spiritual point with great clarity. Most of the time, however we have to plod along, step by step, sweating for everything that we learn. What we learn through patience and perseverance usually lasts the longest. Here's a cat spell that will help:
Set up an altar or sacred space, arranging one candle on each side and
one to the rear of your working area. Place the statures of Bast and
I seek guidance on my spiritual path.
I Am led to the truth by the track of a cat.
By the eye of the cat i see through spiritual darkness into the light
where all things are made clear.
By the whiskers of the cat I Am guided the right way.
By the whiskers of the cat I AM guided the right way.
The ladies of Wisdom speak to my heart and soul. Their words enter my dreams, guiding and instructing me.
I seek truth and light !
Sit quietly for a few moments while you think over the spiritual ideas you want clarified or the difficulties you have in deciding upon a spiritual path to take. When you are finished put out the candles. The candles, whiskers and paw print can be reused whenever you wish to repeat the spell.
The Cat's eye stone can be carried or worn in jewelry as a reminder that you are being guided with wisdom and clarity. Answers often come in unexpected ways: dreams, talking with others, or reading a book. Be open and aware.
Honey Binding To Bring Kindness
Ingredients:
Small, clean, jar such as a baby food jar
Honey. Enough to fill the small jar
Paper. A small strip that will fit in the jar
Pen. To write the person(s) name on small strip of paper
Candle. To drip on jar lid for sealing
All products connected with bees have magical powers (bees-wax, honey,
pollen, royal jelly, propolis). It is believed that any bee product can hold
and deliver a magical message or prayer.
Best to do this on a full moon but can be done during the waxing. Write the
name of the person or just men/women, people in general on the strip of
paper. Place the paper inside the small jar. Now fill the jar with the honey.
While you do this concentrate on your intent. Visualize the person or persons
being kind to you the way you would like them to be. Now close the jar with
the lid and seal it with wax. Place the jar on your altar or somewhere where
it will be untouched. Every month re-charge the jar by placing it in the sun
for a day. You'll want to bury the jar and refresh the spell with a new jar
about every 6 months or so.

A Spell for World Peace and a Pure World Environment
(Matthew Green)
The following spell is method of tapping into the stream of universal peace energy and making your own little piece of the world brighter by nullifying negative energy. You will need the following items:
a white candle (peace)
a white feather (peace)
a green leaf (environment)
a blue bead or marble (the world)
a small jar of spring water sweetened with sugar
Light the candle, extinguish any artificial illumination and arrange all items before you. Sit for a moment and still the mind. Focus on the candle flame and recall the images that represent war, see in your mind_s eye the steady destruction of the natural world. Close your eyes and breathe deeply to rid yourself of these images. See how a chain of fearful acts can quickly degenerate into violence. Refuse to participate in this cycle of anger and fear as it may stop with you if you are willing to earth the energy by breathing it out. Hold the marble or bead in your hand and feel the fragility of the earth in the hands of humanity, feel the destructive potential of greed and fear. Blow a cool stream of breath upon the bead or marble. Take up the white feather and dip it into the water. Using the feather as a paintbrush bathe the marble or bead; take up the leaf and do the same. Place the bead or marble into the jar of water and visualize the world spinning slowly in a bank of beautiful billowing clouds. Place the jar in a cool quiet part of the home where it will not be disturbed. Put the feather beneath your bed and allow the candle to burn out by itself. Here the spell ends but the true work begins. In your daily life practice the art of releasing and ending a cycle of fear and malice and also do your own small part toward the end of environmental destruction.

To Learn the Truth
Light alter candles.
Light Incense.
Think hard on the subject about which you wish to learn the truth.
Light petitioners candle.. a candle representing yourself. (Can be any color you feel represents yourself.) and say,
"This candle I light to represent myself. It burns as does the spirit. It is as myself in all things.
Light 2 white candles and say, " These are the symbols for truth. They are enjoined about (your name) and to me show all truth. Then say:
"As I rock in the night 'cross the brown heath bare,
In the bright moons light saw a castle fair;
Lords and ladies, great and small,
Where crowding in, 'twas a festival,
Grasses in the wind are waving.
They bade me welcome and I went
To drink their wine to my heart's content.
I danced and laughed with the ladies fair.
Ne'er in my life had I such cheer;
Grasses in the wind are waving.
Then all at once there came a cry:
Haro by yaro! Asleep fell I,
While a lady dancing at my side
Seemed like a lizard away to glide;
Grasses in the wind are waving.
I woke in the early light of day,
In an olden ruin I did lay,
O'er the rock and into the sun
I saw a green-gold lizard run!
Grasses in the wind are waving.
Now the truth I know and it stays with me,
For I have seen what I did see,
All secret knowledge came to mind,
Borne on laughter of the other kind;
Grasses in the wind are waving."
Sit then in quiet contemplation for half an hour. In this time will the truth of the subject in question come to you. Extinguish candles
Must give credit to Raymond Buckland for that one.
Spell for Women in Public Service
Juno can be a powerful ally to women in government and public service jobs. This spell can be used to help your elected representatives, or to elect more women to public offices, and to strengthen women's influence in public life. Wear cypress oil, your best business attire, and moonstone or silver jewelry. Close your eyes; ground and center, and envision your elected representative in a royal purple or electric blue suit. See her succeeding, whether it's at speaking before Congress or the library board. Now transform her into Juno, a regal matron in a Roman toga with purple sash. She blesses the audience with a silver wand, and fills the scene with cool moonfire, the fire of reason and compassion. Repeat for each woman you wish to help. Thank Juno and relax. Repeat monthly to bolster women's public roles.

Crystal Charge Spell
This is an all-purpose spell for charging your magic crystals and stones that you use in ritual or simply keep in your house because they have attracted you. Just before a Full Moon, cleanse them all with salt water, then place on a windowsill where the light of the Full Moon can bathe them. A night or two after the Full Moon, place the crystals and stones in a circle on the floor as you cast a circle. Sit in the center of the circle and let the energy of the crystals and stones come into you. Softly chant: "Crystal vision, crystal sight, let me find my power this night." You may want to come prepared with a question or issue you'd like to resolve. Clear your mind and let the answer flow in. When it feels appropriate, ground your energy and thank the crystals and stones for their help.

Sun Blessing Spell
Sunday is a day for extending blessings, as the sun's rays bless the Earth on this day. Spreading blessings was also one of the customs of the legendary fey, and it is something that you can do to extend your power outward. As an ongoing blessing spell, cut small bird shapes out of construction paper in your idle moments, and thread string through them so they can be hung. Write a cheerful word of blessing such as "hope", "love", or "luck" on each bird. If you wish, embellish each one by drawing details or gluing glitter on them. Then, whenever you go out- whether to walk in a park, visit a friend's house, shop at the mall, and so on- surreptitiously hang a string of birds in bushes or other secretive places. Know that your birds are acting as agents of your power, blessing any person who comes across them.

Cat Communication Spell
If you have been having trouble communication with someone, set out a blue cloth or paper with a spiral drawn on it. Hold a large piece of blue tiger's eye in your hands, thinking of clearing away all the communication difficulties. Then coax your playful cat to come over and visit. Roll the stone on the cloth, bat it back and forth with the cat, playing until the cat gets tired and walks away. Leave the stone on your altar most of the time, but keep it with you when you interact with the person. Once the situation is resolved, cleanse the stone and put it away.
Spell to Boost Personal Productivity
To improve your own work productivity, during the waxing Moon place one hematite in a small basket or tray and enchant it by saying: "Ground and heal, magnetic one; bring me clarity on this day." Add a quartz crystal to the contained and say: "Bring boundless energy to me; may it last through this day." Add a calcite and say: "Stone of joy and yellow light, help me sort through my work today." Place the container of stones on your desk and say: "Help me work through this day; bring me inspiration. And when the day is done, may the labor be finished."

Holey Stones Spell
Stones with a naturally occurring hole in them are considered good luck by many people. If you are so lucky as to find one, wear it around your neck by a cord through the hole. Silk or cotton cord is best; do not use a metal chain. Don't wrap wire around them or otherwise tamper with them. Looking through the hole is said to give on the power of second sight and the ability to see the invisible world of the face
Strong as an Oak Spell
To increase your overall strength, at the New moon in spring cut off a young oak twig, being sure to ask permission of the dryad beforehand. If refused, oak bark is available from many herbalist and is a respectable substitute. Strip the twig of its shiny bark, and place this or the store bought dried bark in a saucepan of water. Boil until thoroughly infused. As you work, consider oaken qualities: fertility, sturdiness, durability, deep rootedness. Know that in this brew, these properties are concentrated. If you are in full health and not pregnant, for optimum effect, take the potion as tea. If
frail or preferred, add to your bath. In both cases the important factor is to feel the properties of oak entering and fortifying your system. Entreat the spirit of the sacred tree to protect you. Using a ribbon and the leftover leaves, create a bouquet of thanks to the most ancient of benefactors.
Find a New Friend Spell
This spell works well for childrenwho feel lonely. To find a new friend, sit in a safe place and get quiet. Then say out loud: "If I were my friend, where would I be?" Be quiet and wait for the answer.
Spell for Feeling Overwhelmed
Every time you find yourself thinking "I have too much to do," or "I don't
have enough time," chant at least five times, " So much time, so little to
do". You should feel better immediately!
