You need:

Some bonds- whether they are self made, or an actual bond with somebody you want to sever
A desire to break said bonds
a piece of chain you can break easily
Some candles- as many as you want. Could be 1,2 or even 30. Can even be battery candles.
bowl of water/fire extingusher in case the candles get out of hand

To do:

Light candles.

Think about the bonds you want to sever. Really pull up all the emotion/anguish/feelings these bonds are causing you.

Invoke any diety you usually work with. May also to be helpful to call one associated with strength, temperance, and patience. (I asked Sigyn and Fenrir, as well as Loki)

Pick up chain, and hold it in front of you.

Begin to break chain.

As you are breaking chain, say:

“As I break this chain, I break the bonds that bind me. (Diety), please lend me your strength, your patience, your perserverance so I may successfully break these bonds.

(Diety), push me as I make these changes.

I cannot do this own my own.

(Diety), I ask for your help.

Help me break the bonds that bind me as easily as I break this chain.”

Place broken chain pieces on altar as an offering.

When done, either leave the chain pieces in an offering jar/container on the altar, or bury it.

If you choose to bury the chain, you can also say:

“I bury my bonds like I bury this chain. May they be forever lost, never to return to me again.”

Don’t forget to snuff out the candles!!!

Great spell.

This is a modification of an old folk spell to rid the body of troubles.  I wish I had a good source for it, but I do not. If anyone knows the original source, please inbox me and I will update this.

You will need:

Your Body

An egg (a store bought chicken egg is fine)

Process:

You can charge the egg with a kind of binding ward if you want to “hold” the negative feelings and energy. I find that the shell works wonders itself so tend not to worry too much about it.  

Place the egg softly on the top of your head and roll it gently over your scalp moving down to your face, neck shoulders, arms, chest, stomach, pelvis, thighs, calves and finally toes. Say out loud with each passing area the things you don’t like about yourself or things people have said about that part of you that is negative. If this is difficult for you, you can say it in your head or put a positive spin on it (i.e. “They say I have too many freckles, but I love them!”)

When you have gathered all the negative feelings and thoughts into your egg, take your egg outside, off your property too a cliff, rocky shore, or even just over a fence and chuck it as hard and as far as you can.  You can write a positive affirmation to say when your egg cracks such as “Earth! I give you back this energy to cleanse and purify and strengthen my positive resolve.” 

Take some time for self-care with a long shower, eating your favorite foods, or doing your daily skin care routine. Whatever makes you feel vibrant and radiant!

This spell works best on secret lovers! You’ll need:

• goldenrod
• boiling water
• three yellow ribbons

Grind the goldenrod plant up and add 1 part goldenrod with 1 part boiling water. Boil them together, saying:

Secret keep, and silence hold,
Caution caused by shoots of gold.
Encouragement of secrecy,
Their consequences part from me.

Soak three yellow ribbons in the infusion for about 10 minutes, then braid them together and give them to the subject of your spell.

To Stop a Spreading Influence:

You’ll need:

• dandelion (still in the ground!)
• black thread or twine
• box filled with salt (large enough to hold the dandelion)

Find a patch of ground with a large dandelion in it.

Pull it out by the root (it’s important that you get the whole root at once. Try again with a different dandelion if you can’t get it out in one pull. If at first you don’t succeed, at least you’re weeding the garden!)

As you pull out the dandelion, say

“I rip you out, uproot your bones;
uproot the influence you own.
A hole shall be there in your stead;
your power shall no longer spread.”

Take the black thread and bind the leaves and flowers to the root (this should end up being one big bundle). This is also a good time to bind anything to the root that symbolizes the person or thing you’re trying to bind.  As you bind, say:

“Your opinion now is nulled,
your thoughts are kept, your motives dulled.
Your persuasion is the key
but must be kept in secrecy.”

Put the bundle in a box filled with salt, saying:

“Convince no longer, root grow cold.
I bind you stronger, root grow cold.
Move no others, root grow cold.
Your opinions are too bold.”

Place the box in a cold, dark place. To reverse the spell, take the dandelion out and place it back in the earth (the salt will have killed the root, but the seeds should sprout another flower in a few weeks).

thelivingwiccan:

Intense Personal Purification: for those times when you desperately need to clear out negative thoughts and habits from yourself. (This spell does involve blood magic)

You’ll need:

• sage
• blood (your own)

To make oneself pure as anew
prick the body cleanly through
Blood for blessings, sage for smoke
burned, and cleansing be invoked

As the chant states, prick a finger and put a few drops on the leaves of sage. Burn it and speak the chant, repeating the last 2 lines a few times until you feel better.

natural-magics:

If you want to keep something close, bury it in your back yard. 
If you want to attract something, bury it under the front door step 
If you want to destroy its influence, burn it. 
If you want it to move away and sink, throw it in running water 
If you want to disperse it to a distance, throw it into a crossroads 
If you want to fix its influence, inter it in a five-spot pattern 
If you want it to work by means of spirits, bury it in a graveyard 
If you want to hide its point of origin, conceal it in a tree 
If you want it to work in secret, give it in food or drink 
If you want it to work by stealth, hide it in clothing or on objects 
If you want its influence to begin or strengthen, throw it East 
If you want its influence to end or weaken, throw it West 
If you want its influence to rise and fall cyclicly, float it in a tidal estuary

I’ve reblogged this before, couldn’t wait for it to come back around. Handy little guide for…. well, anything.

Jeez, tonight has been a crazy Question Answering Night! 1 hour, 20 questions in, and still going strong. 

Tonight on TheLivingWiccan: Dichotomy in neo-Paganism and how it alienates its non-binary followers, its inherent heteronormativity, canning tinctures whilst preventing botulism, the destruction of white sage, and cats!

Question Answering Day! My inbox has been filling up and I think now seems like a pretty good time to empty it.

Friday, May 10th! Question Answering Day.

Although this blog is called TheLivingWiccan, any of a multitude of subjects get approached on this blog: from general spirituality to strict organized religion, from Wicca to Odinism, from Satanism to Reconstructionist Hellenism, from crystals and herbs to poppets and candles, from curses to spells, and from religious to secular witchcraft. 

 If you have sent a message some time in the past 2 weeks, expect it to be answered tomorrow. If you haven’t yet asked a question, send them in, but please read this first.

TheLivingWiccan

It feels so wonderful to get some new spells in there. Hopefully when it gets passed on, my descendants will feel the same.
