Peace Ritual

Design this ritual to suit your needs.
Choose candle colours that represent the things you seek peace for
(e.g., maybe green and brown for peace on earth).
"From out of the dark and into the light
A circular mark, a candle burns bright.
I look towards the sky...my song do I sing.
Spirits soar high and gifts do I bring.
I offer my all! My mind, I then clear
Hearken my call! I feel you are near!
Candle burns higher; my spirits set free!
Hotter than fire, this magic will be!
Let magic come 'round, from under the ground,
To form with my sound and then, to be bound!
Around me I feel the magic so real,
Before you I kneel.. the spell I now seal!
Let all hatred CEASE! And let there be PEACE!
These words that I say, with magick AWAY!
This spell that I send is now at an end.
Let the magick I've laid, go forth and not fade!
SO MOTE IT BE!"

Also, go to your medicine cabinet and find some first aid ointment or any salve that heals wounds.
Light a white candle (for peace) and place both the cream and the token in front of you.
Slowly consider all the reasons for your anger.
Let that energy pour outward into the chosen symbol until, in your mind's eye,
it radiates a red light from your fury. By this point you should feel calmer too.
Next take enough cream in both palms to cover the emblem.
As you apply cream to the emblem, say,
"As balm to this figure, so also to my heart.
Where animosity has grown, healing now impart."
Repeat this thirteen times while massaging the cream into the object.
Place this in a safe place so peace may grow undisturbed.

Waning moons, dawn. Moon in Gemini or Aries.
The months of February and August. Monday (healing) or Tuesday (to encourage logic).

(could be a black cloud, or your own interpretation of how they are affecting you).
Charge a red candle with healing energy, light it, and hold the tip of the picture in the flame.
After it's lit, drop it into the cauldron.
Now, with the red candle still burning, draw another picture of yourself without the negativity.
Place this under the red candle and let the candle burn out. You are done.

Protection Chant

Goddess, Give me protection from the outside world,
Let whatever people say about me not hurt,
Let whatever I fear not bother me,

make something shake, let my eyes be open and see what is really there to see.

Something good will come out of your boredom if you have the guts to stick it out, explore it vigorously.

Call The Wind

This is a simple call to the Wind when you feel threatened, frustrated, angry, or the like.
When you recite this, hold out your arms in welcome to the Wind, and, of course, feel.

Blow for me, breathe for me
Sweeping all evil away
Blow for me, breathe for me
In dark winter night or bright summer day'

Anger Banishment

One onion
Take your onion and wash it in fresh spring water (purchased also from the witches' friend, the
local supermarket). This spell is best performed during a waxing moon.
Wear earth colours to ground you and, if you wish, burn some sandalwood oil or incense.
By the light of a black candle (black absorbs negativity, remember!) peel your onion at midnight.
As the tears come, take away a layer of the pain you are feeling with each layer of the onion
that you peel away.
Onions represent Mars, which represents war and feelings of angst and anger at our enemies,
so peeling through the onion will open the heart chakra, allowing you to experience the feelings
you have been hanging on to, and layer by layer, release them. This spell is all about not wishing
to get even, or to obsess any longer over those who have harmed you.
After you have peeled your onion, place the peels on a plate (stainless steel or silver) and put
on a window ledge in the kitchen where overnight the moon's energy will draw away the
negativity banishing it from your environment for good. complete this simple spell with a long,
languid bath into which you have emptied three handfuls of sea salt.
This will purify, protect, and strengthen you further.
As you lie there, think of how much better you feel now that the desire to get back at
someone has dissipated.

Cross out the name with deliberation. Say:
You no longer hold a special place in my heart.
You are not the right person for me.
I will bury my feelings for you here & make a fresh start.
Bury this bit of paper & all your feelings about this person outside under a waning moon.

Get Over It Spell

This is a fairly simple spell, and of course you should change it according to your tastes.
--1 white candle (probably the bigger the better) --mirror
The candle should be cleansed before you begin, and could be infused with white energy,
the energy of love and strength. Meditate upon your intentions before you begin. why do
you need to empower yourself? Is it because you wish to realize the beauty within yourself,
or you wish others to see the beauty or strength you know that lies within you.

visualize all of the negativity that you are carrying with you washing away.
The candle should be placed in front of the mirror, and the mirror should face you.
Light the candle. Feel the positive energy emanating from the candle.

I walk in beauty with the Goddess.
I am strength. I am beauty. I am will. I am love.
She is within me. All who see me, know Her.

Relaxation Ritual

Lay or sit in a place where you will not be disturbed for at least five minutes.
Get comfortable. If you are sitting, your back should be straight.
Sitting or lying down, your legs should be crossed.
If sitting, rest your hands, palms down, in your lap. Close your eyes.
Visualize a golden ball of beautiful, warm light surrounding your feet.
If you cannot "see" the golden ball when you visualize it, its okay, just know it is there.
The ball of golden warm light always brings peace and total relaxation.
Wherever the ball goes tension departs.
Now allow this ball of light to rise up your legs and up your torso.
Then allow it to go down your arms to your fingers, and finally up your neck and into your
head until covered with total peace and relaxation and all tension is gone. If you feel tension
anywhere, send the ball there and the tension will vanish.
Stay in this state for a few moments. If you are having trouble sleeping, try this.
Be at one with yourself.
When you are ready to come out of this state of deep relaxation, take three deep
breaths and feel fresh life and energy coming out of your body with each breath.

Emotional Healing

The point of performing the spell is to remind your heart that the time for healing has come and it
also helps to make a painful time a little more bearable. Continue the spell for as long as needed.
You may want to freshen the balm once a week and if the span of time passes through a full moon,
renew your rose quartz by following the Full Moon Ritual. If months have gone by, you may want to
stop and consider what it is that is holding you back from healing. It's good to take time, but life must
go on and you must get back to living. You make your own happiness and no one can take that
away from you, unless you let them. You have to live your life for you and live it the way that makes
you happy, having you heart broken sucks, but it's up to you how long you are going to be miserable.
Rethink these things and redo the spell to remind yourself that now is the time to heal.
If you are performing this spell for someone else, you can collect all the items needed and present
them with a description of each item, what it is for and what they are supposed to do with them.
It is important that they perform the spell, either alone or with you, for the doing is apart of the healing.
Items needed: Fresh Balm leaves, Rose Quartz, Frankincense oil (or incense) and a cup, bottle or
flask to hold water.

Find a place where fresh running water is available, such a river or stream.
If you know of a water fall, that would be ideal.
If you only have access to a pond or lake, it will do, but if you have absolutely no access to any of
the above, you'll have to use tap water, but distil it by letting it sit overnight.
If it is winter and all is frozen, still go to your spot and gather snow off of the ice to replace water.
Once you're at your spot, sit and listen to the water flow imagine, if winter), and let your heart ache.
When you feel engulfed in pain, fill your container with water and place the fresh Balm leaves in it.

As you close you container, say:
"This is water is to heal, this herb is to soothe, and I will be happy again."
Take your container home and place it on your alter or surface that you'll be working on.
Set a Rose quartz and a red candle next to your cup of water.
Anoint yourself with Frankincense oil to help you block negativity (or burn incense) each morning for
3 days or until you are healed. Light the Red Candle each morning until you are healed and say:
"Now is the time to be strong and passionate about the things that I love.
I will spend time doing things that make me happy and these things will help me to heal."
Sometimes when you've been hurt, it's hard to remember what makes you happy.
This is the time to make the effort to remember or to find something new.
Place the Rose Quartz in your pocket or wear it somewhere on your body everyday
until you are healed and say each morning:
"I will love myself and let others love me, as I need my friends now.
I carry this stone as a reminder that others care about me and I am never alone.
This will help me to heal."

Even if you feel alone, remember that your parents, friends, siblings or pets,
even the spirits of your ancestors and loved ones are all apart of you and this
makes it so we are never truly alone in this world.
Blow out the Candle and take in it's smoke, then carry your stone,
wear your oil, (or breathe in incense every morning) until you are healed.
The spell calls for a three day span until you are healed, but depending on the
severity of your pain, the span may vary.

Release Anger

When a time comes in your life that you feel stressed out and need a constructive
way to release pent up anger and energy, go to a lake, ocean, stream, river, etc.
Find a black stone.
Visualize a circle of white light surrounding you.
Cup the stone in your hands and direct all the energy you possibly can into this stone.
Then, hurl the stone as far as you can into the water and say:
With this stone anger be gone.
Water bind it. No one find it.
Ground and centre your self, release the circle.

Unravelling Spell

Needs: White candle Scissors Small knitted clothing article
Inscribe the candle with your problem, then draw a question mark beneath the inscription.
Light the candle and say:
"Problem, problem, melt away.
Solutions come to me today."
Snip a thread at the edge of the knitted piece and pull the yarn to unravel it. Say:
"Knitted thread, as you unwind,
Problems can no longer bind."
Wind the yarn into a ball saying:
"As I smooth you to a ball,
Solutions rise come one and all."
Alternate unravelling and winding with the appropriate chants. The solution
will come by the time all the yarn is wound.

- A glass item, if possible a wineglass,
- plate, or other glass object your lover used to use, but any glass bottle or jar will do
- Some black paint
Paint your lover's name or initials on the glass. Take it to the local dump or recycling centre.
Go into alpha and transfer your anger into the glass object.
Spend as much time doing this as you need until you feel you have released all your anger,
or as much as possible. Then summon all your strength, close your eyes, and throw the glass
as hard as you can into the dump. Listen to it shatter. Smile.
Then walk away and don't look back.
