Spell of Manifestation

There are times in a witch’s life where patience just isn’t going to cut it. You need that one thing to happen, and you need it right now! For those times, try out this simple spell of manifestation! This would be most effective during the waxing moon, or the new moon just before it begins to wax (on a day such as today, for instance!).

What you need:

* Fire (candle, cauldron, fire pit, etc) * Paper (any kind will do, but the more elaborately decorated it is, the better this works) * Incense of any kind will do, though certain herbs will work better for certain thoughtforms/wishes (see full list below) The chant:

Waning, waxing, pull and push Bring forth my vision, my solemn wish Let it manifest into my destiny As I do will so mote it be! The process:

Close the blinds, lock the doors, or go outside somewhere where you needn’t fret about the judgmental eyes of others. Get a good fire going in your cauldron or fire pit, or light your candle. Sit and focus on your desire, envisioning it happening. See yourself holding what it is you want or experiencing the happening as realistically as you can; mind that magic has little recourse in the world of fantasy, as fantastical as it seems at times. Once you have your vision firmly in your mind’s eye, write it out on the paper, as well as the date, and your religious name. Bless/consecrate the paper by any rite you wish, and then when you feel ready, feed it to the flame. Imagine is as a glowing orb which grows larger as the page burns up. Dance around it and chant the words above as it grows, letting your energy latch on the energy of the paper burning. Finally when you have generated enough energy, release it into the world with firm belief in its success.

Tell no one of your rite until the wish comes true. The herbs (obviously there are more than this): * Financial/material gain - patchouli (also fertility), sage, mint, basil, clove, cinnamon, pine * Love/relationships - cinnamon, jasmine, musk, rose, lavender, vanilla * Health/Vigor - orange, amber, frankincense, eucalyptus, lilac, ginger * Spiritual growth - myrrh, sandalwood, frankincense, cedar, anise, magnolia, rosemary (dreams) * Protection - sage, camphor, frankincense, dragon’s blood, parsley * Purification - thyme, sandalwood, cedar, pine, sage

Cleansing and Charging Crystals - a good rule of thumb is that if you’re not sure if you can place your crystals in water, salt, or direct sunlight because it might damage the stone, use moonlight or starlight instead. You can also place your crystals in a dry bath of herbs and flowers, or pass them through incense smoke.

A to Z Crystal Meanings

Rose and Milk Bath Tea

You will need some dried rose petals, two drops of rose oil, 2 tablespoons of Epsom salts, a cup of dry milk powder, one tablespoon of oatmeal, and a muslin teabag (you can use the foot of an old sock or pantyhose).

In a jar, mix together the Epsom salts and the rose fragrance oil. Let this stand for a day. Mix with the remaining ingredients and place into the muslin teabag.

Prepare your bath the usual way. While the hot water is running, drop the teabag under the hot water. The fragrance and milky clouds will soon turn an ordinary bathing experience into a wonderful aromatic pleasure. Use citrus peels and oils to invigorate. Lavender flowers and oils for a stress reducer. Experiment. Have fun!
