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).

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.

The celebration of this year’s Beltane.

What you’re seeing is the setup that my little circle did, with the centre bowl completely as offerings for the Horned God. We dedicated each candle to a different God representing each direction. We handmade the incense ourselves while in the circle.

After ritual, the offerings were left left in the cleft of a tree’s trunk.

Bottom photo: the symbolism of the Great Rite by the God and Goddess Personified of our circle. The Triple Goddess symbol and the God symbol were painted on the right hands of the conduits with body paint and smeared together.

I hope you enjoyed your Beltane/Samhain!

Blessed Be

Today I was pondering harvesting my large aloe plant for ritual, but wasn’t sure if the plant was ready. I took my hand to see, and an entire lance fell off into my hand. Knowing this was a gift, I set about a thank-you ritual.

This ritual was to bless the aloe vera lance to be used in further ritual, should I ever need a protection satchet, a love potion, a protection potion, whathaveyou. It was to bless the aloe, and to thank the God for blessing it.
So what you see in the above picture is parts of my God altar set outside in the garden. There are two antlers, (recycled and respected) a red candle, and a burning bowl full of sage. All fire safety precautions were taken to ensure I didn’t set my creeping moss on fire.

Some of you might notice the cornbread! It’s an offering to the God as payment for the gift of the aloe and the further use of it. Some of you might also notice the extended God symbol I’ve drawn onto it in blood. (Being an avid student of medicine, all safety measures were taken there as well)

I’ve always seen the God as slightly more “sacrifice-y” than the Goddess, you might say.

I left the aloe out until the sun set. I laid down in the grass next to it, even though it was a little brisk out. I meditated until I knew the God would send me a sign. So finally I opened my eyes to see the moon overhead, ready to take over my watch. I went back indoors to warm my bare feet and relish the fact that I had once again communicated with my God and Goddess, with the Earth, and with myself.

All in all, a pretty sucessful ritual.
