Protective Eye Charm January 29th, 2007
Protection magic has been with us since the beginning of time. We have sought protection from the harshness of the natural elements, the wrath of gods and goddesses, and, unfortunately, from envy and ill intent from fellow humans. Throughout history in art and sculpture, protection often appears using the symbol of the eye. The ancient Egyptians used the Eye of Horus to ward off negativity. In the Mediterranean, an eye charm or amulet is a popular form of protection against the "evil eye." The evil eye, or malocchio, as it is called in Italy, is a curse directed at you by another person, usually driven by emotions of fear, malice, or jealousy. Victims of the evil eye experience illness and bad luck. You can make your own protective eye charm by painting an eye on a rock or stone. Keep it with you or in your car or desk drawer for protection and imagine it keeping you from harm. By: Emely Flak
Tying Together Wholeness January 14th, 2007
January is a time to honor the rational and logical mind and the instinctual, natural parts of ourselves. Wholeness is key here. You need two pieces of string nine inches, feet, or yards long. Use light blue, yellow, or gold to represent your logical, thinking side. For your instinctive side, use colors such as red and brown. In front of your altar or during a ritual, take both strands together. You’ll be making nine knots. Before tying each knot, say: “Heart and head combined as one, ruled both by Moon and by Sun. I unite both inside me. For the good of all, so mote it be.” Keep the string in a safe place. When you feel the need to repeat the spell, run your fingers over each knot and repeat the chant.

Wishing Well Spell December 28th, 2006
Color of the day: Purple Incense of the day: Geranium
Have you ever felt the urge to throw a coin into a pool or fountain? These wishing spells are not just for kids. We can all benefit from this simple money magic. Choose a coin that you can release without any second thoughts. If you can’t part with a silver dollar so easily, try a dime or a penny. Soak the coin overnight in water with as much salt as you can get to dissolve in it, along with a tablespoon of lemon juice. If the coin is not totally clean by the next day, rub it with a paste of salt and water to get it nice and shiny. Carry the coin with you in a pocket or in a special pouch. When you see a pool or fountain, hold the coin in your right hand and say to yourself:
Silver coin, I set you free. Into this pool, I release thee.
Boundless as drops In the sea, Unlimited wealth Now comes to me.
Throw the coin into the water. By: Kristin Madden

Moon of Hecate Spell By: Luci Sophia Zain
Color of the day: Orange Incense of the day: Poplar
The twenty-ninth day of each month is known as the Moon of Hecate, regardless of the Moon cycle at the time. Hecate, Greek goddess of the underworld, is sometimes misunderstood and aligned with dark forces. Hecate is actually a symbol of empowerment for many women. Her image is represented as a woman who faces three directions, expressing the Triple Goddess of maiden, mother, and crone, whose wisdom can also see in all directions. Today, two days before Samhain, invoke the energies of Hecate to uncover secrets that are hidden from you, or to help find an answer to a question you need to have answered. Speak these words:
Hecate, Come help me unfold, What has remained untold. With your vision help me see what remains unseen by me.
Meditate and allow thought to flow freely, taking note of whatever enters your mind. By: Emely Flak
Magic of Darkness Meditation November 19th, 2006
Color of the day: Orange Incense of the day: Clove
There is magic in the darkness if only we can allay our fears of it. It is only the unknown we fear and once we understand that mystery is revealed in the dark, we can relax and find the enchantment of the place. To do this, after sunset today find a place that will be in darkness when the lights are off. Light some patchouli incense to promote deep awareness. Tone a single note to yourself, and settle down into a meditative state. Turn out the lights and close your eyes. Continue to intone softly and breathe deeply. Open your eyes in the darkness. Do not strain to see. Extend the awareness of your psychic senses outward and feel the texture of the night. Breathe deeply and rest in the darkness. Let the messages come to you as you rest in the deepest dark. When you are finished, go back to a ordinary state of consciousness and to your normal activities. By: Gail Wood
Orange Pomander Recipe December 23rd, 2006
Color of the day: Blue Incense of the day: Violet
Now is a time of festive activities centered on presents, food, and gathering with friends and family. Why not make an orange pomander that captures the scent of the season for yourself and a friend? To make two pomanders, you will need two oranges, one-quarter cup of whole cloves, ribbon, and three tablespoons each of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Combine the ground spices and set the mixture aside. Stud the cloves into the fruit. Place the cloved oranges onto a foil tray and cover the fruit with the spices. Take some ribbon and wrap around the orange. Make sure you leave enough ribbon to hang up the orange. Allow the oranges to dry out with the spice mixture for two weeks. After two weeks, the oranges will have shrunk noticeably. The spicy, clove-based aroma will attract success and protection. Hang the pomander in your cupboard in the New Year. By: Emely Flak

Dark Side of the Moon Spell October 23rd, 2006
Color of the day: Silver Incense of the day: Myrrh
With so many planets in Scorpio tonight, this is an ideal time to explore how your hidden self affects your family and friends. To do this, imagine you are standing under a Full Moon. The light shines brightly, then slowly wanes to dark. Ask to be shown what the dark side holds now—especially ask for any information that can help you to improve your relationships. Feel yourself being pulled to the Moon, and see that the orb reflects the shadows within you. Most of these shadows are very dark and you pass by without stopping. But eventually you will find one small image that speaks to you. Ask what message it holds for you. Take note of any images, messages, memories, or feelings that come up. When you understand something of the message or have received all that is offered, see light return to this place. Gently return to your body. Light and understanding fill you as the Moon waxes brighter. By: Kristin Madden
Acknowledging Errors Spell October 26th, 2006
Color of the day: Crimson Incense of the day: Carnation
Ralph Waldo Emerson said: “A man should never be ashamed to own he has been wrong, which is but saying in other words that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.” Sometimes, when we are on a spiritual path, we discover that we have made mistakes, poor choices, and simple misjudgments. It is wise in such cases to acknowledge our errors and to change our ways, rather than cling-ing to our old choices through pride or fear of being teased or scolded. Changing our minds is just a way of showing that we are wiser today than we were yesterday. Today’s simple ritual acknowledges a new insight about the nature of wisdom and a change in direction in how we consider our choices. To start, face the north, saying:
I have followed a path for some time I believed was best. I have found a better, truer path. I now begin my journey on this new path.
Turn to face east and take a step forward, secure in knowing you now have a new wisdom and outlook.

Imbolc Spell 2004 Spell-A-Day 2004-02-02
Color of the day: Lavender Incense of the day: Chrysanthemum
Imbolc is the Celtic holiday that marks the beginning of spring.
It is ruled by the goddess of spring, known as Brigit or Brigantia in Ireland, and Bride in Scotland. In Irish myth, the god of the earth Dagda, also known as the “good god,” had three daughters, who were all named Brigit. The first Brigit was the goddess of poetry, the second was the goddess of smithcraft, and the third was the goddess of fire and healing. All three are really aspects of one triple goddess who was associated with the Sun and with fire. On this day Brigit used her flame to rekindle the fire in the earth and assure that plants would have the heat that they need to break through the earth and begin to grow. In ancient times, a woman dressed as Brigit would bless the fires in the households and forges across Ireland. On this day, Brigit’s snake would come out of its mound, and the snake’s behavior would determine how long the remaining frost will last. This is the most likely origin of Groundhog Day. In Christian times, Brigit became a saint associated with the Virgin Mary. Imbolc became the Christian Candlemas, the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is celebrated by lighting candles. A Brigit’s cross is a talisman made of woven reeds that form a cross with a woven square in the center and four equal arms extending out from the center. This design gives the cross a sense of rotation that evokes the wheel of the year. Brigit’s cross should be made or bought on this day and used to protect the home throughout the year. Also on this night one can leave a silk ribbon on the doorstep for Brigit to bless. Later it can be used for healing.

This is today's spell-a-day. Nature Meditation Ritual February 2nd, 2007
Color of the day: Purple Incense of the day: Sandalwood
Even though it may still feel like winter, life is stirring in the earth. Use this special day to honor the elements and get in touch with nature. Since the Moon is full tonight, try to perform this ritual near a window where the moonlight can shine through, or outdoors if weather permits. You will need a stone of your choice (and/or a handful of clean soil), a leaf, a feather, a container of water, and a candle. Light the candle and place it in front of you (or in the center of a group ritual). Touch each item mindfully and consider how each one repre-sents an element: earth, air, fire, and water. Hold the stone or leaf in your hands, dip your fingers in the water, stroke the feather, gaze upon the candle flame. Consider how vital each element is to life. As you consider each element, use the following chant:
Field, flower, tree, and stone; Build the Earth that I call home. Changing wind, air to breathe, Precious atmosphere and breeze. Candle flame, fire bright, Warmth and heat, radiant light. Drink of life in flow or freeze, Rain and river, spring and sea.

Love Oil Spell February 3rd, 2007
Color of the day: Brown Incense of the day: Thyme
The Imbolc season, which was a time of rebirth and renewed abundance, may also have been a sacred ritual period of purification in preparation for the renewed energies of spring. Various sacred plants were used throughout the winter season for this purpose. In Scotland, juniper was burned at the New Year to sain or purify the home. Torannon, or figwort, was utilized around Imbolc for protection and abundance. The dandelion was sacred to Bridget, and its root is still used for purification. In Scotland great fires of gorse were made, and the herb called “broom” was burned as well. Prepare a ritual incense for purification and protection in preparation for spring. Mix together juniper, dandelion root, broom, and figwort, and use the smoke to smudge your home and your loved ones.
