Computer Spell~Contributred by Dragonfly

Note from the owner of the spell:

"This is a silly spell but it will actually work with the intent in mind. Trust me, I've used it successfully more than once... and it's fun, too!"

Cut out seven stars from colored paper...

one of each color for the days of the week:

Chant over your stars:

"Magic stars so bright and true

Protect my monitor and CPU

May my keyboard and mouse always work for me

By the Techno-Goddess... so mote it be!"

Place all the stars in a bag or box with a little sage, thyme, or rosemary.

Each day for a week place the star on top of your monitor or computer that is the right color for that day. (See above.) If after a week your computer still has problems, you can continue the spell for another week or two. In desperate situations, pick up the phone book and call in your local computer wizard!

Money Spell~Contributed by Pandorra

I thought I'd be a nice little witch and pass on a spell I picked up from "Spell Crafts" by Cunningham & Harrington.

(or 5 each of 3 denominations of your country's coin currency)

5 kernels of dried corn

5 kernels of dried wheat (or 5 teaspoons wheat flour)

5 whole allspice (or 5 teaspoons of ground allspice).

Place each item into a thin, tall bottle.

Shake the bottle with your protective hand for 5 minutes while chanting these or SIMILAR words:

Place the money spell bottle on a table somewhere in your house.

Leave your purse, wallet and/or checkbook near the bottle when at home.

Allow the money to come into your life.

Don't know if it works...but hey, it's worth a shot!!!

Spell for Success

a talisman with your religious symbol

(pentacle, cross, star of David, etc)

Place a green candle on one side of a room.

Place a purple candle on the other side.

Now, light the purple candle.

(The lights should now be off or very dim.)

With your religious talisman hanging from a chain or string

(to be worn as a necklace) dangling from your right hand,

pick up the purple (lit) candle with your right hand.

Now walk in a STRAIGHT line across the room directly to the green candle.

Using the purple one, light the green candle.

Set down the candle so they sit next to each other.

"I walk forth without doubt and fear,

And success draws me near."

Lay the necklace in front of it and meditate for awhile on the success you need.

Let the candles burn themselves down,

and wear the necklace whenever you wish success you follow you.

When you walk through a door to job interviews, auditions, or anywhere you need success, imagine how you walked in a straight line in your ritual, and consciously make an effort to do the same when passing through the door.

This one is from http://www.spiritonline.com one of (in my humble opinion the best around. Good Luck~

Spell for Travel~Contributed by Pandorra

The Roman goddess Fortuna Redux is honored for bringing safe and happy homecomings.

For those of you who make long commutes, or travel often, then this ritual is for you.

Use a large yellow (luck and happiness) candle (it will be reused for this purpose) and anoint it with fragrant oils such as lavender, lemon grass, peppermint or mace.

Light the candle and hold your hands over it in blessing and say:

"I honor and acknowledge you

all you gods and goddesses,

guardian angels, and all good spirits

who look after the well being of travelers.

As Fortuna Redux of the happy returns,

Mercury-Hermes, the traveler,

Esu, the Orisha of the roads, and in all your other names, forms, and manifestations,

I give thanks for the safety and the luck,

and all the homecomings that I and my loved ones have enjoyed throughout this year!

I also ask for your continued blessings and protection

for my loved ones and me on this occasion,

and in the years to come.

Wait a few moments, perhaps say some words of thanks and snuff out the flame.

Spell for Meeting a Faerie

Don't take this lightly. The Fey Folk are wild, and their integrity so strong and unusual that you must be careful with them.

However, if you approach one correctly, he\she can be an honorable, powerful and delightful friend and ally.

If you find you cannot handle the power of this rite, courteously end the visit. If an evil entity arrives by accident, end the visit, either with courtesy or rudeness, whichever is safest and most effective.

Do each numbered step before going onto the next.

1. Focus on the darkness of the mind's eye, the darkness that's automatically there when your eyes are closed.

2. See that darkness filled with a glowing green, a Faerie green, a magic glow.

3. Feel that magic, green, Fey glow start swirling around you, bathing you in its beauty, bathing you in its magic.

4. Enjoy drinking in that magic for a minute.

5. Let that Fey power feed you, cleanse you, and give you things you need. Let it work its magic on you.

6. Into that green mist, call out for a Faerie friend. Don't demand a visit, for we do not control the Fey Folk. Invite with warmth, courtesy, good will and good cheer.

7. Greet and welcome your visitor with dignity and courtesy. Ask his\her name and his\her need of you. If no name is given you, usually you should end the visit. When you meet someone on the physical plane who will not tell you their name, there is usually something awry, right?

8. Never lightly make an agreement with a Faerie. They take commitments seriously. And are tricksters, who often have an

unusual view as to what life should be like. You may not want the same goals as they.

9. Visit. Then do the following steps. If you fall asleep, your visit might be happening on an unconscious level so you would still need the following steps upon awakening.

10. If you would like, ask your visitor for something you need.

11. Make thanks for the visit, and for any help you were given. At this point it may be appropriate to give or promise a gift, EG a bit of food and drink left out at night.

12. Perhaps this spirit will become your friend for a while or even a lifetime. You can use this ritual to visit with him\her again. But for now say "Farewell."

13. After doing something like this ritual, one might be in an altered state without realizing it. If you then do something like drive, walk at night along a city street, or cook, you could possibly go through a red light, get mugged, or burn yourself, all because you were off in another world! So, after you finish step 12, do the following two steps:

A. Spend some time consciously focusing on the embodied, mundane plane by making your mind concentrate on physical

B. Then continue this focusing by looking both ways carefully when crossing streets or paying special, conscientious attention to kitchen safety or whatever focus is appropriate to the activity in which you become involved. Use these two steps until you are well focused onto the embodied plane. You may feel very sharp and alert, so think there is no need for step 13. Please do it anyway. For one thing, alert as you are, you might be alert only to the SPIRIT plane! Take the time to become alert to the physical realm. If you're feeling really spacy or "out there" add body stretches or do some other very physical but safe activity that will focus you onto your own body.

Changing Eye Color~Contributed by Magenta

Close your eyes, you must have complete focus and be concentrating only on changing the color of your eyes,

now fill your mind with the color your eyes are right now, naturally.

Now see the color slowly change to the color you wish them to be, see it over power your natural color.

Imagine the color shines like a ray of light from inside your mind out through your eyes, visualize your eyes becoming that color as the light passes through them ( this process should take about 15min, and you will have to repeat it because Glamour fades) Upon opening you eyes you may not be able to see the color or people who are close to you because they know you to well and will see through it .

Tootsie Roll the great big one (the athame)

A large glass with milk in it (the chalice

A small dish of Nestle's Quik and a spoon

A small dish of chocolate sprinkles

A plate of cupcakes and some Yoo-Hoo along with

CLEANSE THE SACRED SPACE:

HP/ess (taking the small bowl of chocolate sprinkles):

"Chocolate sprinkles where thou art cast No calories in thy presence

last. Let no fat adhere to me. And as I will So Mote It BE!

"Nestle's Quik where thou art cast

Turn this milk to chocolate, fast.

Let all good things come to me;

And make my milk all chocolatey!"

CAST THE CIRCLE (using consecrated tootsie roll)

CALL THE QUARTERS (beginning at the East):

"Mousse of the East, Fluffy one! Great prince of the palace of

dessert. Be present, we pray thee; And guard this circle from all

Approaching from the East.

"Fondue of the South, Molten One! Great prince of the palace

HANDMAIDEN (Henceforth known as the Swiss Miss):

"Listen to the words of the Mother of Chocolate who of old

was called;Godiva, Ethel M, Sara Lee, Nestle, Mrs. See and by many other

"Whenever you have one of those cravings, once in a while and better

it be when your checkbook is full, then shall you assemble in a great public

place and bring offerings of money to the spirit of Me, who am Queen of all

"In the Mall shall you assemble, you who have eaten all your

chocolate and are hungry for more. To you I shall bring Good Things

for your tongue. Ye shall be free from depression; and, as a sign that you are

truly free, you shall have chocolate smears on your cheeks, and you shall

munch, nosh, snack, feast and make yummy noises, all in my presence.

For mine is the ecstasy of phenylalanine (FEEN-EL-AL-A-NEEN), and

mine also is Joy on Earth, even into High Orbit. for my law is 'Melts in your

mouth, not in your hand.'

"Keep clean your fingers, Carry Wet Ones always. Let none stop you or

turn you aside. For mine is the secret that opens your mouth, and mine is the

taste that puts a smile on your lips and comfy, padding pounds on your hips.

"I am the Gracious Goddess who gives the gift of joy unto the tummies of men

and women. Upon earth, I give knowledge of all things delicious;and beyond

death well, I can't do much there. Sorry about that.

"I demand only your money in sacrifice. For behold: chocolate is a

business, and you have to pay for those truffles before you eat them."

"Hear now the words of the Goodie Goddess, she in the dust

of whose feet are the cheap imitations, whose body graces candy racks and

finer stores everywhere:"

"I, who am the beauty of chocolate chips and the satisfying softness of big

bars, the mystery of how they get the filling inside of truffles and fill the hearts

of all but Philistines with desire, call unto thy soul to arise and come unto me.

For I am the soul of candy. From me do all confections spring, and unto me

all of you shall return, again and again and again *and again!*

"Before my smeared face, beloved of Women and Men, thine innermost

divine self shall be enfolded in the rapture of overdose.

"Let my taste be within thy mouth that rejoices. For behold, all

acts of yumminess and pleasure are my rituals. Therefore let there be

gooyness and mess, crispness and crackling, big slabs and bite-size pieces,

peanut butter and chocolate-covered cherries all within you.

"And you who think to seek me, know that your seeking and yearning

shall avail you not unless you know the Mystery: 'We will sell no

chocolate until you pay for it.'

"For behold; I have been with you since you were just a baby, and I

am that which is attained at nearly any shop in the land.

"Hear now the words of Chocoloatl, the God of Chocolate, who

was of old also called Ghirardelli, Milton Snavely Hershey, Bosco,

Fudgesicle, and by many other names:"

"I am the strength of the candy rack, and the piece that fell on

the floor, but looks like it might not have gotten too dirty, and the

deepest bitterness of dark chocolate. No matter how you try to resist the

call of Chocolate, I will hunt you out and I will become your sacred prey.

I am the warmth of hot cocoa in the dead of winter and the call of the road

that leads you to that really expensive Godiva store downtown.

"I give you, o my creatures, the fire of love of chocolate, the power

of jaw strength to bite off a piece of that frozen Milky Way bar and the

shelter of Haagen Daz when that big date didn't work out. You are dear to

me, and I instill in you my power, the power of a piece of chocolate that

you forgot you had hidden, and the power of vision and magickal sight with

which you can spot a candy counter a mile away.

"By the powers of the half melted bar in the glorious sun, I charge

you; by the darkest depths of the bottom of the cocoa pot and the lingering

smell of bittersweet chocolate, I charge you; and by the beauty of a

perfectly swirled vanilla butter cream, I charge you:

"Follow your heart and your instinct, wherever they lead you. The

wealth in your pocket can buy you treats that a Mayan king would envy.

Take joy in that first bite of lecithin-emulsified cocoa and in the last

satisfying slurp of Yoo-Hoo. Yet you must be wary of deceit. Eat not of

that which is called 'Baking Chocolate'. For it is vile and bitter.

"Lastly, always remember to leave some chocolate behind you. Be not

greedy. But let yourself be known as a connoisseur. Leave a little for

"I am with you always, just over your shoulder or around the next

corner. I am the Lord of Chocolate and when you have reached the end of

your hoard, I will never be farther away from you than that 7-Eleven on the

corner. I am the spirit of the Wild Child the Inner Child who can

never get quite enough. If you are a true chocolate lover, then your soul and

mine are intertwined.

(The blessing of the Yoo-Hoo)

HP: "Be it known that milk chocolate is not better than dark chocolate."

HPS: "Nor is dark chocolate better than milk chocolate."

HP: "For both are better than the falsely named 'white chocolate.'"

HPS: "And neither one is carob."

HP: "As the frosting is to the cupcake,"

HPS: "So the creamy nougat is to the Milky Way Bar.
