Empathy's Book of Shadows

Relaxation spell
if you have incense and candles, light them, if not, sit on the floor, or lay on your bed and recite:
'I am peace, I am calm, I am love, trust, hope and quietude, send me the angels of times forgotten, and lead me to peace inside.'
This wont make you fall asleep, obviously, but it will help settle your mind after, say, a hard day at the office, or if you have to sleep, but your too pumped with energy.


This chant works well alone if you say it while falling asleep. It also works even better if used in conjunction with a dream pillow you construct while saying it. You can also anoint yourself or spray your pillow/sheets with scents to help you dream and remember such as jasmine for prophetic dreams.
To sleep, per chance to dream
I will remember all that is seen
And when night is done, I will awake
and sense of my dreams I will make

Binding Spell for General Use

Take a piece of light-weight cardboard and draw images and write words on it to represent the evils that you wish to bind...examples being a man with an X crossing out his heart to show it is closed, words like Greed, Irresponsibility, Disrespect, etc...then crumple the cardboard up into a loose ball.
Take a piece of black yarn and wind it around the cardboard twenty one times. With each time you loop the string around the cardboard, say one line of the following chant...

With the thread of the crimes
of your own design
I bind your evil
Three times seven times.
I bind you from Behind
I bind you from Before
That you'll hurt my people
never ever more
I bind you from the Left
I bind you from the Right
I bind you by Day
And I bind you by Night.
I bind you from Below
I bind you from Above
That you may ever know
The laws of Life and Love
I bind you with your own
Good conscience Within
And so let this magic
Unfold
And spin....

Tie off the ends of the yarn with three sturdy knots to seal the spell. When done with this, burn the wrapped images and words in a loud, strong, crackling fire. Chant these words until it is thoroughly burned:

Goddess of darkest night
Send our troubles all to flight
Burn them in thy sacred fires
And replace them with our hearts' desires!

Once the image is burned and all negativity removed, do a positive visualization to replace it...for example, people laughing and dancing in rainbows, etc. Be sure that when you do this you cast a strong protective circle around yourself and all participants before you begin.
Beauty Spells
Eye Glamour Spell

You Will Need: One or more candle's) of the colour you want your eyes to be, a pentacle
Light the candle's) and sit in front of it.
Clear your mind and chant three or more times
"1 2 3 change for me, 1 2 3 (current colour)
to (colour you want your eyes to be)"
Once again, clear your mind and chant three or more times
"By the power of three, Let it be seen"
The more candles you use the better the spell will work.

Eye Colour

Sit comfortably where you won't be distracted.
Clear your mind and start by thinking about what colour you want your eyes to be.
I get an idea of what colour I want and I think of my face like a mask I am holding up about 5 inches
from my eyes so I can see behind it. Then I think of a light (like a flashlight) shining through the
eyeholes of the mask. It starts dim but it gets really bright and he light is the colour I want my
eyes to look I try to hold that idea for as long as I can I see the eyes of the mask fill up with
that colour and then I visualize putting the mask on and absorb it under my skin so my eyes
become that colour. I don't chant or anything since I find it to take most of my concentration
to visualize it and make it stick. I do burn a little incense sometimes but it doesn't really matter
what I burn it's just to relax my mind.
Mine last about an hour and a half for most of them.
Which for the most part I'm only doing them for special occasions (like parties) so I don't
need them for much longer if I do I can do a touch up in the bathroom (same Idea as
makeup touch up just visualize a quick zap)

Change Eye Colour 2

Make sure it is night when you do this spell. Also, light one orange and one pink candle.
Close your eyes. (You must have complete focus and be concentrating on the spell only.)
Fill your mind with the colour your eyes are. Picture that for about five minutes.
Then picture the colour you want. Chant:
''Become of me,'' three times.
Repeat this whole process two times and you will see changes through the day.

Keep Beauty From Fading

When all your face appears most fair, When the comets and meteors gild your hair,
And in your eyes the moon and sun Contest, surrender, and burn as one,
When ivory Venus smoothes your brow, And Mars re-curves your lips' red bow,
Make haste to utter this binding verse And hold the stars on their kindest course...

"Figure of fire,
That shifts and changes,
Planets that move
By heaven's hinge,
Be siged and fixed
Forever here,
And close my image
Within thy sphere"
Measure a yard of golden string Loose from your fingers let it swing,
Then tie it in thirteen sturdy knots, Hide it among your scents and pots.


True Beauty Spell

Prepare:
A dish full of earth (good soil, not dry, dusty dirt).
A yellow candle A full-sized mirror
Olive, patchouli, jasmine, or cinnamon essential oil
A small flower pot A flower or plant seed
Anoint the candle with the essential oil you have chosen.

Place it in the centre of the dish of earth.
Light it and sit down with it between you and a mirror.
Look deeply into the mirror, concentrate on your reflection.
Without being vain, consider the things you find most beautiful about yourself-
not just physically but mentally. What is your inner beauty, what is your outer beauty?
It's important that you never think of what you feel must be "changed", be as positive
about the beauty that you have already. Perform this ritual 3 nights in a row.
Once the entire candle has burnt down, remove the wax from the dish.
Place the earth from the dish inside a small flower pot and plant a seed inside it.
Water it and care for it so that it grows properly.

You will soon find that your beauty will grow, flourish, and shine brighter than
ever before- just as the plant grows before you, emerging from its seed.

"Moonshine, Starlight,
let the wind carry your light,
let your glow cover my body,
and let your shine cover every eye."
Say it 3 times and concentrate on the part that you want to change, Then say...
"Moonshine, Starlight,
shape and mould my body,
as a rose is granted beauty,
let me blossom in your light,
the light that brings me beauty,
and grant me beauty three times three"
Say it 3 times and when you are finished light a candle (pink) or some flower scented incense.
