SPELLS

To consecrate and dedicate an altar(not alter) to the Lord (of your choice) and Ladyfirst find the place where you wish to set up the altar. This place must not be disturbed, for it will take on sacred and holy energies, and you will not want anything to happen to this area. Use some quiet meditational music if there is some available. Remember, the more energy and work that you put into your altar, the more magickal energy it will take on. You may even use an energy bell or Tibetan bell to signify that you are beginning to call those spiritual guides to assist you with your present work. Action is the key!

Once you have found that place, take a smudge wand of Sage, light it and begin to clear the air around the altar. Constantly, keep Love and Light in your consciousness. Now, move to the four elements and ask for their guiding presence. Use a compass if needed to find the proper directions on the Earth.

North =Earth
South = Fire
East = Air
West = Water
Around = Spirit

Ask for their blessings and honor their assistance. Next, begin to set up the altar, placing each item you wish on the altar gently and reverently. Use the Consecration Ritual if you need to consecrate any magickal tools. You'll know what those items are as time passes. The altar will change its appearance as the seasons change. On your altar can be anything you wish, anything! Some altars are outside, some are inside. Some are clean and orderly, while others are cluddered with anything and everything around them. Yet, you must keep this place of sacredness, honorable to the God and Goddess.

You may wish to use two 7 day candles (buy at 99 cent store) to represent the ever presence of the God and Goddess in your life. Black for God, White for Goddess. Red of fire, incense for Air, small bowl of water for west, and something of the Earth for North. Once your altar is set up the way you want it, spend a few moments in quiet meditation thinking about what this altar means to you. Now, allow the altar to fill you with its magick and energy. Feel the magick around you. breathe in the Love and Light from the Lord and Lady. Visual yourself revitalized because of it's presence. See yourself becoming more healthy, whole, and wise. Now, visualize healing for someone else, maybe someone you do not even know. Send them Love and Light.

When you are ready to end your dedication and consecration ritual, sound the bell once again, thanking all elements for their presence and assistance. Send them back to their humble abode harming none on their way. Now, thank the Lord and Lady for their presence in your life. Take a deep breath of the fresh magick around you and repeat:

So mote it be!
It is done!

Allow the Lord and Lady candles to burn constantly, replacing them week after week, month after month, year after year.

Point your Athame at the sky, and then at the earth. Then pointing Athame horizontally either spin 360� or walk around the perimeter with the Athame held out in a threatening manner.

Spirits of evil,
Unfriendly beings
Unwanted guests, Begone!
Leave us leave this place, leave this Circle,
that the Goddess and the God may enter.
Go, or be cast into the outer darkness!
Go, or be drowned in the watery abyss!
Go, or be burned in the flames!
Go, of be torn by the whirlwind!
By the power of the Mother and the Horned One
We banish you! We banish you! We banish you!

Sprinkle the perimeter with salt and water.

To Banish Negative Forms From Your Home

Begin with a purification bath. Light the twin candles on the altar and burn a protective and/or cleansing incense. Fill your chalice with fresh water (be sure to consecrate it) and blessed salt. Kneel or assume the Goddess position as you say:

"Naked come I into this sanctuary
With love and faith
From those who have gone before.
Innocent am I in understanding
Holy and pure in my love of all good and blessed things.
Supreme Goddess, ruler of light,
Lord of all
Hear my prayer,
Help me now to dispell this thing of unholiness
This creature of darkness,
Who dooms itself to shame and unhappiness.
Save him if it is thy will to do so.
Send him to the light.
Mercy is the song I sing;
Forgiveness the word most precious.
In thy everlasting grace I say this.
In humility I ask this.
So mote it be."

Take up the chalice of salt-water, face the east wall, dip your fingers intothe water, raise your hand and say:

"Powers of the East
Powers of the daystar rising
And all fresh beginnings
I purify you with salt and with water
For good vibrations of friendship warmth and love."

Then sprinkle some extra water and proceed to the south. Say:

"Powers of the South
Powers of the summer sun
Which warms our bodies and our minds
I purify you with salt and with water
For good vibrations of friendship, warmth and love."

Repeat in the west:

"Powers of the West
Powers of the purifying and cleansing waters
From which all life comes.
I purify you with salt and with water
For good vibrations of friendship, warmth and love."

Repeat in the north:

"Powers of the North
Powers of the earth, the ground
On which we stand.
I purify you with salt and with water
For good vibrations of friendship, warmth and love."

Then proceed around the room sprinkling water over all the thresholds,windows, and doorways and in all corners. REPEAT IN EVERY ROOM.

Add more incense to the burner, take up, and do the same thing, using the same verses substituting "fire and air" in place of "salt and water." As before, proceed around the room censing all the thresholds, windows, doorways, and in all corners. REPEAT IN EVERY ROOM.

Take the fire candle (or a candle for this purpose) and your athame and, starting at the door or entrance, walk slowly CLOCKWISE through the house, through each room pausing at each door, window, and mirror and moving the candle across it, also pentagramming each window, doorway, and mirror with the athame. Proceed room by room spiralling clockwise. All the while chant the following:

"By the One Power
I hereby consecrate this space
To the Goddess and the God,
According to free will
And for the good of all;
I hereby release,
In all time and all space,
Any negative cause, effect, manifestation, form or essence,
Any negative event, thought, energy, idea or vibration,
And transform it to
And replace it with
Only positive, joyous good
In keeping with the Universal harmonies
Of the Goddess and the God.
This space is divinely protected
This space is perfectly safe.
Nothing and no one can enter this space
Unless I (or my loved ones) allow them to.
This space is sacred
Consecrated and dedicated to positive living
For myself and my loved ones
And for the work of positive magic.
No harm can come to this space, or anyone in it."

As you draw each pentagram say:

"Only good can enter here
No negatives can enter
All harm is sealed out."

When you are back at the entry point conclude:

"Love lives here
Health lives here
Abundance lives here
(Name self and loved ones) live here
We claim this space for ourselves, for the mutual good
And so mote it be!"

breaking spells on you

Get a white candle and place it in a holder.
Place the holder in the middle of your cauldron.
Fill the cauldron with water so that the candle extends above the rim of the cauldron and above the water.
Light the candle and visualize the spell being broken.
As soon as the flame burns down and touches the water, it will go out.
Dig a hole in the earth and pour the in the rest of the water and bury the candle.
So shall it be!

casting a circle

Start with candles lit at the cardinal points and a cauldron in the center of the Circle area..

This ritual is designed for a High Priestess and two others, one bearing the chalice of salt water and one carrying the incense.

The High Priestess starts at the altar. With unsheathed Athame she salutes the Sky and Earth. At the East corner the Priestess raises her Athame and calls out:

Hail, Guardians of the Watchtowers of the East,
Powers of Air!
We invoke you and call you,
Golden Eagle of the Dawn,
Star - seeker,
Whirlwind,
Rising Sun,
Come!
By the air that is Her breath,
Send forth your light,
Be here now!

As she speaks, she traces an invoking Pentagram in the air with her Athame. She sees it, in glowing pale blue flame, and through it she feels a great onrush of wind. She breathes deeply, drawing in the power, then earths it through her Athame, which she points at the ground.

The High Priestess traces the Circle as she continues around the edge. The other quarters are similarly called in turn:

Hail, Guardians of the Watchtower of the South,
Powers of Fire!
We invoke you and call you,
Red Lion of the noon heat,
Flaming One!
Summer�s warmth,
Spark of life, Come!
By the fire that is Her spirit,
Send forth your flame,
Be here now!

~ ~

Hail, Guardians of the Watchtower of the West,
Powers of Water!
We invoke you and call you,
Serpent of the Watery abyss,
Rainmaker,
Gray-robed Twilight,
Evening Star! Come!
By the waters of Her living womb,
Send forth your flow,
Be here now!

~ ~

Hail, Guardians of the Watchtower of the North,
Powers of Earth,
Cornerstone of all Power
We invoke you and call you,
Lady of the Outer Darkness,
Black Bull of Midnight,
North Star,
Center of the Whirling sky Stone,
Mountain,
Fertile Field, Come!
By the earth that is her body,
Send forth your strength,
Be here now!

As the Priestess completes the Circle she again salutes the sky and earth, turns and touches the tip of her Athame to the central cauldron and says:

The Circle is cast. We are between the worlds. Beyond the bounds of time, Where night and day Birth and Death Joy and sorrow Meet as one. for protection and peace

Ground. Center. Cast the Circle.

"Hail, Guardians of the Watchtowers of the East, Powers of Air.
Here stands one in need of protection of the mind.
Let the light of dawn surround me in safety,
Let the Aspen tree ground me to Mother Earth,
Let the eastern wind hld me in the palm of its hand,
That I may grow in goodness and light, in the service of the Mother.

Hail, Guardians of the Watchtowers of the South, Powers of Fire.
Here stands one in need of protection of the spirit.
Let the noon light surround me in safety,
Let the Almond tree ground me to Mother Earth,
Let the southern wind flow around me t protect me,
That I may grow in goodness and light, in the service of the Mother.

Hail, Guardians of the Watchtowers of the West, Powers of Water.
Here stands one in need of protection of her emotions.
Let the dusk of twilight shroud me in protection,
Let the Willow tree ground me to Mother Earth,
Let the western wind shroud me from all evil,
That I may grow in goodness and light, in the service of the Mother.< /font>

Hail, Guardians of the Watchtowers of the North, Powers of Earth.
Here stands one in need of protection of her body.
Let the dark of midnight shroud me in protection,
Let the Oak tree ground me to Mother Earth,
Let the northern wind keep me from all harm,
That I may grow in gooodness and light, in the service of the Mother.

Hear me, oh guardians of the elements and quarters.
I stand a child of the universe
Beset on all sides by those who wish me evil.
I ask not that you change them, for their will is their own,
But grant me strength, that I may shine in the light
Growing in goodness in the service of Manind and Mother Earth."
