Wiccan Beltane Ritual Guide For Covens

Basic Requirements

Altar/Altar Cloth/Altar Candles: The altar should be in the centre of the circle area, facing the Eastern quarter. The altar cloth should always be yellow for the High Earth Rite of Balemas. (This is only if you are using a regular rectangular altar.) The two main altar candles should be yellow.

Other Candles: The four quarter candles should be blue in the West, red in the South, yellow (or gold) in the East, and green in the North. All other secondary candles used for extra lighting in the ritual area should be of various shades of forest green or suited to personal taste.

Special Items: A small wreath of flowers will be needed to serve as a crown for the May Queen. These can be easily made. Another optional item is the May pole and its ribbon streamers. A large candle will be needed for the cauldron as a symbol for the balefire unless the rite is held outdoors, in which case kindling in preparation for a small balefire will be needed in the area of the Southern quarter.

Circle Area/Casting the Circle/Assembly of the Quarters

Prepare the circle with decorations of cut flowers or greenery, as appropriate. (The author recommends hawthorn blossoms.) The circle should be cast according to you or your coven's preference and the Quarters will be called in accordance with the coven's or your personal needs (the author reminds us that East has pre-eminence for Balemas).

Invocation of the Goddess

Priestess:
Hallowed Lady of the Hawthorn,
Goddess of the greenwood groves,
we call upon Thee in the season of Thy Sensuality,
as Thy blossom opens to the amorous advances of our Lord, Thy Lover.
In Thy union is the fertility of Spring,
and the beckoning whisper of young desire.

Touch us with the breath of Thy passion,
that we might seek for the ecstasy of life!
Inflame us with the fever of Thine inmost longings
that we not be satisfied until our oneness
with the God is consummated!

Capture us with the fragrances of Thine allurement,
that we may be overwhelmed with an obsession for Thy presence!
Bright Maiden of May, be here among us as we celebrate
the Beltane blessings of Thy bridal-bed!
Blessed Be!

Invocation of the God (as Satyr Lord)

Priest:
Horned God of power and play,
we hear the music of Thy melodious pipes
enchanting our ears upon the evening wind!
Beneath the fullness of the May-night Moon
Thy silhouette plays hide-and-seek
among the shadows of silver-tipped trees;
Thy hooves striking sparks like shooting stars
as they step in spritely patterns
to the rhythm of the Ways of the Wild.

Holy Pan of the shepherds' shrine,Holy Pan of the shepherds' shrine,
Goat-footed God, Faunus of the forest glades,
we beseech Thee to be here among us
as we revel in Beltane abandon
beneath the swirling streamers of Thy phallic staff,
dancing by the light of the balefire's glow!

Sovereign Satyr Lord, be pleased within this Circle to remain,
as we celebrate Spring and the beginning of Thy reign!
Blessed Be!

Kindling of the Balefire

The priestess and the priest will go to the kindling prepared for the fire (if the rite is held outdoors) located near the Southern quarter of the circle. Otherwise, a candle within the cauldron is substituted. The priest will light the balefire as the priestess recites the following incantation:

Priestess:
Strike the fire and let it rise,
Beltane flames 'neath Spring-night skies!
Ancient customs we now renew,
'Tween dusky dark and evening dew!
Fire with warmth of Summer shine,
Invoking Gods from Older Times
For fertile crops with Sun-fed rays,
Gardens of plenty and golden days!

Crowning of the May Queen

At this point, the priest (or acting Satyr Lord) shall go to the altar and take up the garland-crown of flowers. He will then stand facing the priestess (or acting Maiden), lifting the crown above her head as he speaks the words of her coronation as the May Queen.

The Satyr Lord:
I give praise to Thee,
vibrant Goddess of youth and sensuality;
Lady of Spring, exuberant Earth maiden,
dancing in joyous abandon across hillside and field
in vivacious hues of brightness,
exuding the wondrous essence of waving wildflowers.

Wherefore I offer unto Thee
this floral crown of Thy creation,
laid now upon Thy daughter's head
as the woven splendor of Nature's art;
the many-colored Crown of May,
scented with the mystery and majesty
that is the Maiden!

All Hail, Lady Fair,
with flowered garlands for Thy hair!

All:
All Hail, Lady Fair,
with flowered garlands for Thy hair!

The Great Rite

If this is a custom practiced within your coven, please follow your traditions.

Parting Prayers

Priestess:
Maiden Lady, Queen of May,
bestow upon us in overflowing measure
Thy youthful passion for love and life
as we rejoice in the sensual stirrings of the season.

All Hail, Farewell, and Blessed Be!

Priest:
Sovereign Satyr Lord, Pan of the Pagan Ways,
at this Sabbat of Springtime's warmth,
bestow upon us the heated breath of Thy lust for living
as we depart this sacred space with the joyous blessings
of Thy Beltane benediction.

All Hail, Farewell, and Blessed Be!

Dismissal of the Quarter-Regents/Releasing the Circle

At this time the quarters can be dismissed and the circle released, per your tradition. It's time for the Beltane festivities to begin! The priestess may close with this benediction.

Priestess:
This rite of Balemas is ended!
May the love of the Maiden and the Satyr Lord
go with us as we venture onward
into the warming fullness of Summer's promise!

Merry Meet and Merry Part!

Litha / Summer Solstice / Midsummer Solitary Ritual Guide

Make up a small pouch filled with herbs such as lavender, chamomile, St. John's wort and vervain. Pour all your troubles, problems, pains, sorrows and illnesses, into this pouch as you construct it. Tie it shut with a red string. Place this on the altar. Cast the circle.

"With the Sun God at the height of His power and majesty,
The waxing of the year is accomplished,
And the reign of the Oak King is ended.
With the Sun God at the height of His splendor,
The waning of the year begins.
The Holly King must slay His brother the Oak King,
And rule over the Goddess' land until the depth of Winter,
When His brother shall be born again."

Litha Chant:
"The spirit of the Oak King is gone from us,
To rest in the Underworld;
Until, with the turning of the Wheel,
The season shall come when He shall return to rule again."

Ring the bell three times.

"Oh great Goddess and God,
All nature vibrates with Your energies
And the Earth is bathed with warmth and life.
Now is time of forgetting past cares and banes,
Now is the time for purification.
Oh fiery Sun,
Burn away the non-useful, the hurtful, the bane,
In Your glorious power.
Purify me! Purify me! Purify me!"

Pick up the pouch and light it. When it is burning, drop it into the cauldron. Say:

"I banish you by the powers of the Goddess and God
I banish you by the powers of the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars
I banish you by the powers of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water!"

Visualize the negatives burning away to nothingness. Then say:

"Oh gracious Goddess, oh glorious God,
On this day of Midsummer magic
Charge my life with wonder and joy.
Help me to attune with Your divine energy."

Meditate on the purification you have undergone. Feel the power of nature flowing through you, washing you clean with divine energy. Ring the bell three times.

Plunge the athame into the chalice and hold it up, saying:

"The Spear to the Cauldron, the Lance to the Grail,
Spirit to Flesh, Man to Woman, Sun to Earth."

Cakes and ale.

Open the circle.

Lammas / Lughnasadh Solitary Ritual Guide

Place upon the altar sheaves of wheat, barley or oats, fruit and breads, and a loaf fashioned in the figure of the Sun or a man to represent the God. Corn dollies, symbolic of the Goddess, can be present there as well. Arrange the altar, light the candles and censer, and cast the Circle.

Recite the Blessing Chant.

Invoke the Goddess and God.

Stand before the altar, holding aloft the sheaves of grain, saying these or similar words:

Blessed be this season of Lammas, time of the First Harvest, when the bounties of nature give of themselves so that we may survive. Oh God of the ripening fields, Lord of the Grain, who give sustenance to the people, grant me the understanding of sacrifice as You prepare to deliver Yourself under the sickle of the Goddess and journey to the lands of eternal summer. Oh Goddess of the Moon, teach me the secrets of rebirth as the Sun loses its strength and the nights grow cold.

Rub the heads of the wheat with your fingers so that the grains fall onto the altar. Lift a piece of fruit and bite it, savoring its flavor, and say:

I partake of the first harvest, mixing its energies with mine that I may continue my quest for the starry wisdom of perfection. Oh Lady of the Moon and Lord of the Sun, gracious ones before Whom the stars halt their courses, I offer my thanks for the continuing fertility of the Earth. May the nodding grain loose its seeds to be buried in the Mother's breast, ensuring rebirth in the warmth of the coming Spring.

Take the bread from the altar and say:

Many blessings I have been given, I count them now by this bread of the grain of Mother Earth.

Name all the things you are thankful for one by one. With each thing you name, break off a small piece of bread and eat it. Place the bread aside so that it can be placed outside as a libation to the faeries and animals.

Thank you Great Mother. I ask that you humbly accept my offering of this bread. May it be used to feed your loved ones in nature.

Consume the rest of the fruit. Works of magic, if necessary, may follow. Celebrate the Simple Feast. Release the circle.

It is appropriate to plant the seeds from the fruit consumed in the ritual. If they sprout, grow the plant with love and as a symbol of your connection with the Goddess and God.

Blessed be.



Lammas / Lughnasadh Solitary Ritual Guide (Alternate)

Needed:
Harvest vegetables (corn, squash, etc.)
Grains (oats, rice, wheat, rye, etc.)
Fruits (apples, berries, cherries, plums, etc.)
Cornbread & apple cider


Garnish the altar with harvest vegetables, grains, and fruits. Cast the circle.

With arms stretched out above head say:

"What will be is. What was will be.
The Wheel of the Year forever turns.
Dark to light, light to dark,
Each season passes with lessons learned.

"We plant with love, tend with respect,
And at Harvest time our fields reflect
The bounty of our Mother Earth,
Ripened by our Father Sun.

"Now upon my altar,
Gifts I offer the Two that are One.
As each day passes, shorter than the last,
May I be reminded of the seasons that have passed.
The marriage and the seeding of the Goddess in May;
Her womb swollen with life anew at Summer Solstice Day;
All this time the Father Sun has shone with so much pride.

"Rising early, setting late;
Now that he's supplied the warmth and light
For the good of the Earth
He knows that His death is drawing near.
But this secret He understands,
That with the turning of the wheel,
His rebirth has been planned."

With both hands gesture to the vegetables, grains, and fruits.

"Truly blessed are we that receive the bounty of the Harvest,
Blessed be the Mother Earth,
Blessed be the Father Sun,
As they teach me of life, death, and rebirth.
I honour You, The Two that are One."

Pick up one of the cornbread muffins, and offer up to the Gods, saying:

"Blessed be the Harvest, Blessed be the Corn Mother,
Blessed be the Grain God,
For together they nourish both body and soul.
Many blessings I have been given.
I count them now by this bread."

Name all the things that you are grateful for. With each item that you name, break off a piece of the cornbread and eat it. When finished, take a small handful of the grain and hold it in your open hand at face level, saying:

"Winds of the East, I ask for your indulgence.
Hear me now as I request your aid in the cycle of life.
As your winds blow through fields of ripened grain,
Carry loosened seeds upon your back
That they may fall amidst the soil
That is our Mother Earth.
She will cover them in times of storm,
Protecting and nourishing them
Until they sprout next Spring, beginning life anew."

Blow gently across your hand imitating the wind taking the seeds air-born. Continue:

"I give thanks to the Great Mother, Goddess of fertile land.
And to the Great Father, Consort and Provider.
For as their bounty sustains my life,
So does their bounty sustain my brethren;
All living creatures of wood and field,
Of lake and stream, and of air.
Of these blessings I partake and share.
Blessed be this Harvest Night, The Givers and the gift."

Assume the Goddess position, saying:

"All things have their season.
Again the wheel has turned and brought us
To the season of the first Harvest.
A time to think about sacrifices and reborn hope,
A time to reflect on what we have sown,
A time to gather our memories,
And from those lessons that we have learned,
We plan for the future.

"Blessed Be the Mother, whose womb contains and bears all life.
Blessed Be the Father, whose seed plants all life.
Blessed Be the Two that are One,
From Them life flows and flows back again."

Meditation.
Cakes and ale.
Close the circle.



Mabon / Fall Equinox / Autumnal Equinox Solitary Ritual Guide

Decorate the altar with acorns, oak sprigs, pine and cypress cones, ears of corn, wheat stalks and other fruits and nuts. Also place there a small rustic basket filled with dried leaves of various colours and kinds. Sweep area, moving in a deosil (clockwise) manner. Outline your Circle with a red cord, low vibration stones, or various Harvest items such as wheat, corn, beans, etc. Set up your altar and place the red altar cloth over it. At centre top, place the basket of dried leaves. Place an apple and the boline on your Pentacle or a plate. Place the rest of your tools according to your personal preference. Take a shower or bath for purity. Sit quietly and meditate to ground and centre. When you are ready, begin by playing some soothing music associated with the Sabbat and your ritual.

Cast the Circle and call Quarters... Pick up your Wand in your right hand, face your altar, and with arms stretched out above your head, say:

"I honour Thee, Autumn Queen, and Thy consort, the God of the Harvest.
The Wheel has once more turned, and the change of season begins.
What will be is. What was will be.
The Equinox is upon us, and the time to reflect, at hand.
All time comes together, here and now in this sacred space.
And I, but a moment in time, feel the change as I pass from one season to the next.
The Second Harvest has been reaped, and the time of rest is deserved.
Go now My Mother and slumber.
Go now My Father and dream of re-birth.
I shall be here to greet Thee on Your return."

Stand before the altar, holding aloft the basket of leaves, and slowly scatter them so that they cascade to the ground within the circle. Say such words as these:

"Leaves fall,
The days grow cold.
The Goddess pulls her mantle of Earth around Her
As You, O Great Sun God, sail toward the West
To the land of eternal enchantment,
Wrapped in the coolness of night.
Fruits ripen,
Seeds drip,
The hours of day and night are balanced.
Chill winds blow in from the North wailing laments.
In this seeming extinction of nature's power, O Blessed
Goddess, I know that life continues.
For spring is impossible without the second harvest,
As surely as life is impossible without death.
Blessings upon you, O Fallen God, as you journey into
The lands of winter and into the Goddess' loving arms."

Place the basket down and say:

"O Gracious Goddess of all fertility, I have sown and
Reaped the fruits of my actions, good and bane.
Grant me the courage to plant seeds of joy and love in
The coming year, banishing misery and hate. Teach me the secrets
Of wise existence upon the planet.
O luminous one of the night!"

With arms still out-stretched lower your head and close your eyes. Contemplate what you have just spoken. When ready, open your eyes and lower your arms. Pick up the apple and place it in the centre of the Pentacle/plate. Cut it crosswise with the Boline, to reveal the natural pentagram at its core. Then lift half the apple, pentagram up, as if in offering, while saying:

"As the Wheel turns, the seasons pass, and the years give way to the next,
Guide me most Wise Ones,
Lest I forget
Every beginning has an ending
And every ending is a new beginning."

Take a bite of the apple. Put the rest aside to share later with the wildlife. Close your eyes and feel the seasons pass within the circle from summer to autumn. When ready, say:

"As the days grow colder, and the nights last longer,
May I remember the summer past.
With sunlight fading, and hearth inviting,
My memories will warm my soul.
From a season of hard work and hard play,
I hear Mother's voice calling me forward.
While I rest, shall She lull me, with songs of a dream,
As close to Her bosom I cling.

Between the worlds I stand in this sacred place.
All time is here and now.
As I leave this circle, the season shall have changed,
And I will have changed with it.
May I use the short time of Winter Finding
To draw the strength and power from within
As I quest for vision, understanding, and peace."

Pick up the Bell with your right hand, and ring thrice, to toll the passing of the first 3 seasons of the year. Now place it in your left hand and ring once to usher in the 4th and last season of the year. Place the bell on the altar.

"In Life is Death, and in Death is Life.
The Sacred Dance goes on and on
From whence we came, we shall return,
And come again.
Seasons pass, and pass again,
The circle stays unbroken
Heed the words of your child, here,
Through Your wisdom I have spoken."

It is now time for meditation and spell working. Associated spell workings would include those for protection, wealth, security, and self-confidence. If there is no spell working, celebrate with Cakes and Ale, then release the Circle.

Samhain Solitary Ritual Guide

Supplies
Black altar cloth
Scrying mirror or bowl of water
Four white pillar candles for the four quarters
One gold taper candle for the God
One silver taper candle for the Goddess
One black candle
Natural bowl (shell, horn, seed pod, etc)
Slice of bread
Apple cider
Any ritual tools you normally use
Most would usually wear black during this rite



Cleanse the space and cast the circle.

Lighting their candles, call the elements:

"I call upon the spirits of the North, that they join my Circle and bring word of the dead, and take my words to them! Welcome, spirits of Air!

I call upon the spirits of the East, that they join my Circle and bring the comfort of the Earth, the flesh of the Mother, to which we all return. Welcome spirits of Earth!

I call upon the spirits of the South, that they join my Circle, bringing purification, that my soul learns from the trials and joys of life. Welcome, spirits of Fire!

I call upon the spirits of the West, that they join my Circle and bring peace, that I may take comfort in the Cycle. Welcome, spirits of Water!"

Call down God and Goddess.

Light the Goddess candle, saying:

"Lady, may your love shine upon us in bounty and in loss."

Light the God candle, saying:

"Lord, though extinguished for a time, your light will return to us!"

Extinguish the God candle, saying:

"I mourn and celebrate the death of the God. For the Light is now short, yet our harvest is great, and the light will rekindle again, the Cycle begin anew in Nature. I take comfort also in knowing that no soul is lost or forsaken on the Wheel. Blessed be your rest, Lord."

Sit in the circle with the bowl (or mirror) before you, the candle behind it, unlit. Have the slice of bread beside you to the left, and the drink to the right.

Pick up the bread and tear off a small piece, dipping it into the drink. Say something like:

"I offer this sustenance to those who have passed before me, this bread of the earth and air, and this drink of the water and fire. With the union of the two, they become whole and I offer it to my ancestors, to the Gods and Goddesses who would have it."

Place the bread in the natural bowl, taking a moment to contemplate who has passed on that would come to take some of the food you have offered. Once done, pick up the black candle and light it, saying something like:

"I light this candle as a lantern to guide those who have passed before me. I welcome them to this rite so long as they offer good will to it. Negativity will be turned away, positive energies will be welcomed. With this candle, I illuminate the circle as a beacon to those who have passed that I love and cherish."

Set the candle down behind the bowl of water (or mirror). Stare into the water, preferably at an angle so you can see the flame of the candle dancing on the surface of the water. Let your mind go and concentrate on meeting up and connecting with those that have died before you that you wish to contact. Be they pets, persons, or Deities, concentrate on connecting to those that have gone on, and ask them for guidance, or ask them whatever you like.

Take as long as you like on this part of the ritual, for it should not be rushed.

When done, lift up the bread and take one more piece, dipping it into the drink. Say something like:

"I offer more of the food that sustains me, soaking up some drink to quench the thirst of the thirsty. Thank you for coming to me, sharing in your wisdom, guidance, and company."

Set this piece in the natural bowl with the other one. Share in with the meal by eating the bread and drinking the cider that you have beside you.

When this is done, dismiss the deities and all others you have called and close the circle. Ground and center.

Spell to Remember a Past Life

Items needed:
1 white candle
1 mirror
Yourself

Sit in front of the mirror, turn off the lights, and light the candle. Set the candle next to the mirror so the light from it can hit your face, but so you will not see the candle in the mirror.

After this is done, look into your eyes and say:


Oracle of lunar light,
Send me the second sight.
Stare into your eyes and do not blink.
Your reflection will dissolve and another will appear.
Try to look at the face, body, clothing, and surroundings.
After you do this you will have emotions you can not explain.
Don't worry they go away in a few minutes.


Cleansing the Body of Negative Energies



You will need the following: 1 White Candle 1 Black Candle 1 Green Candle The White candle is for Positive Energy. The Black Candle is for Negative Energy. The Green Candle is for Healing. Clear your mind and Light the White Candle and say the following: Mother Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Spirit; I ask thee to Cleanse my body of all negative energies. Light the Black Candle and repeat the same words as before. Then after that Light the Green Candle and say the following: Mother Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Spirit; I ask the to Free and heal my body from all negative forces. Blessed be!! You must do this in a quiet room somewhere that you will not be disturbed. After doing this sit back, keep your mind clear and relax for 15 minutes. Afterwards you will feel fresh and renewed. I recommend doing this once a week. You will feel a lot better and you body will be healthier.


Bay Leaves Wish Spell



The bay leaf possesses powerful magical properties for granting wishes. Bay leaves can be found at your local super market or here at Akashan Pathways. You will need 3 bay leaves to perform this simple but effective wishing spell. When the moon is "New" write your wish out on a piece of paper. Fold the paper into thirds and place 3 bay leaves inside, visualizing your wish coming true. Now fold the paper into thirds once again and hide it away in a dark place. Keep visualizing your wish coming true as you do this. Once the wish is granted, the paper should be burned as a thank you. Never tell anyone your wish, as soon you tell someone it will negate the magic.

Book of Fortune



Too speedily invoke Good Luck and Blessings into your life take a small notebook and title it Book of Fortune. Proceed to start writing the times in your life that you've been blessed or good things have come to you.


The list works best if the sum total in your list of blessings total 999. But quite alright also if you cannot recall that many.
Shortly good luck and blessings will again start to occur and you can count on the Super Good Luck coming to you if you can obtain all 999 blessings in your life.


Try also to find the good during times you've under gone trouble some events. There is always good to be found.



Three Wishes Guardian Angel Help



Put three candles in the highest place you have at home, inside a plate with sugar all around the candles. Light the candles. Ask for three wishes to your guardian angels ST. RAFAEL, ST. MICHAEL, and ST. GABRIEL.

Ask one wish for business, one wish for love and one impossible wish.

Publish this spell on the third day (after you requested the wishes) and see what happens on the fourth day...


Basic Candle Spell

 
Depending on your goal, you will need to choose a candle colour that is appropriate for your task.
Different colours represent different things, for example, if you want to use this spell to gain money,
you choose a green candle, because green represents money (as well as other things).
If you wanted love, you would use a pink candle (or red if it's actually lust you want).
Take the candle and make 7 notches in it, all equally apart.
Using virgin olive oil, dress the candle, rubbing the oil on it from the middle to the bottom,
then the middle to the top.
Place the candle in a sturdy candle holder (preferably metal, glass may shatter) and light the candle.
Concentrate on your task while the candle burns down to the first notch.
Burn the candle each night to the next notch until it has completely burned out.
Look at any god correspondence chart on a wiccan website to see which colour you
want for the different types of spells you could adapt the above basic one to.
You can also write out what you want in rhyme and burn it after saying it like an incantation.
3x3 times works well. Keep any ashes and wax and make into a ball as a Talisman or keep in
a spell box in case you wish to reverse the spell.

Candle Rituals

Candle rituals have been around for centuries.
You light the candles, maybe close your eyes while repeating a spell or that which you
wish for and visualizing it coming true.
It is a combination of the need or desire, and the ability to visualize the outcome.
Candle burning spells and rituals are very easy to do and to have success with if they are
done correctly and you truly believe. The different colours of candles each have their own symbolism.
Here is a table of the colours and their meanings.
White: truth, purity
Red: love, health, sex, strength
Green: money, luck, fertility
Black: discord, evil, negativity, confusion
Brown: neutrality, uncertainty, hesitation
Pink: love, morality, honour
Purple: power, business progress, ambition
Orange: attraction, stimulation
Greenish Yellow: jealousy, anger, discord
Gray: neutrality, stalemate, negativity
Light Blue: tranquillity, patience, health
Dark Blue: depression, changeability
Candle spells can be very easy or complicated.
It all depends on how much time you want to put into a ritual.
It can be as simple as lighting a green candle and chanting... money money come to me.
It can also be very long and complicated lasting several days with the repositioning of
the candles each day. The choice is always yours.
The first thing you want to do is get the appropriate colour candles for your particular desire.
Then you need to anoint the candle with oil. Olive oil will do fine.
You need to rub the candle with the oil from the middle outward to the ends.
As you are doing this you need to be thinking of your desired goal.
Then sit and meditate on your desire after lighting the candles, then read your spell
or chant your appropriate mantra.
You don't need some elaborate spell with a bunch of big words or words you don't
even know how to pronounce. You can make your own spells or rituals.
Think of your desire then make a simple little rhyme that tells about your desire in it.
It doesn't even have to rhyme. This is all about will power, the power of positive thinking,
and creative visualization. If you can do these things then you will send those vibrations out
into the universe and eventually they will materialize.

Friendship Candle Spell

Pink Candle Good Luck/Friendship Oil Pink silk Ribbon White Silk Ribbon
Cast the Circle, Arrange altar, Invoke Goddess and God
You will want to anoint the pink with Good Luck oil all the while thinking of the friends you want to make.
Imagine yourself laughing with them, going out with them. Really see yourself with them.
After your candle has been anointed, you may light it. At this point you may call out the things that
are important to you in a friend: honesty, trust, open mindedness, humour, whatever.
As you light the candle, see the flame as being the energy that burns between any two close friends.
When this is completed, take your two pieces of silk ribbon and weave them together.
Simply winding them around each other will do.
While you do this, think of bringing that friend closer to you.
This binding process is reminiscent of pagan hand fasting rituals.
You are binding that friend to you, making them loyal to you, a way any good friend should be.
You do not want to bind a specific person to you, as that kind of magic is harmful since is
harms the other person's free will. Only bind the idea of the perfect friend to you.
Once you have done this, tie the ribbon to the base of your candle as best as you can.
The candle's light is a beacon to bring friendship to you and another person.
When this is done, you may wish to sit and meditate on the spell that you have just cast,
sending your energies out to bring that perfect friend to you. When you feel that your spell has
been completed, then it has. Let your candle burn all the way out and release your circle,
thanking the Goddess and the God.

Love Spell

Light a candle (I tend to use a blessed white tea candle) and place it by the window sill at night.
This is you calling out to your love.

Witch's Lucky Candle Spell

take an orange candle anointed with cinnamon oil, clove, or lotus oil.
Light the candle and say 3 times:
"brimstone, moon, and witch's fire,
candlelight's bright spell,
good luck shall I now acquire,
work thy magic well.
Midnight twelve, the witching hour,
bring the luck I seek.
By wax and wick now work thy power
as these words I speak.
Harming none, this spell is done.
By law of three, so mote it be!"
Do this spell at midnight.

Stop Harassment

Timing: During the waning moon. Use a brown candle (an image candle, if you can)
to represent the person who is harassing you.
Write the person's name on the front and back of the candle.
On a small piece of parchment paper, write:
'From now on, (name) will say nothing but sweet words about me and to me.
By the power of Aradia, so mote it be!'
Put a drop of honey in the middle of the paper and roll it into a ball.
Heat a knife, pin or your athame, make a gash in the candle (in its mouth, if it's an image candle)
and stuff the paper ball into it.
Let the candle burn a little while every night for an odd number of nights, to a maximum
of nine nights. Throw the remnants into flowing water, but save some candle drippings
or ash to sprinkle in the path of your oppressor.

For Blessing

Get a white candle -- either a plain one (offertory, pillar, or taper) or a figural one in the
gender of the person you want to bless. Carve the person's full name on the candle,
then dress it with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil. For more power, you may place a name-paper
of the person, or a photo, or some personal item of theirs (such as a bit of hair or a snippet
of clothing) either under the candle or next to it. One easy way to do this is to place the
paper or personal concerns under an overturned saucer and put the candle on top of the
saucer. Burn a portion of the candle every day for seven days, pinching it out between burnings.

As you light it each day, say this
[Name], may you be blessed
May all good things come to you
May nothing whatsoever harm you
May your heart be light
May your travels be safe
May your health be good
May your mind be sound
May your friendships sustain you
May you be blessed in every way

If you have a special request for this person (such as that they find a lover, get a
good job, come home safely from a war, or whatever), just add it to the list.
Some people use a large pillar-type candle and keep it going for longer than seven days.
They may make a habit of burning such a candle every day -- or once a week, on Sundays --
for as long as their friend or relative needs help, even doing so for months at a time.
If the candle is large and it is to be burned in this way, it should be re-dressed with
Blessing Oil or Holy Oil once a week: after the initial dressing, you can drop a tiny bit of
oil into the "well" or hole in such a large candle just before lighting it each time.

Candle Binding

Get a large white candle, the kind that drips wax, and set it up on a tray.
Affix to it a photograph or other image of the person you wish to bind.
Make a ring of sea salt around it. Make a second ring with protective herbs.
Some dried rosemary from the kitchen will not break your bank. Or use sage if you like.
Fill the rest of the tray with images that represent what you are binding the person from: pictures
of your family, keys to your house, legal documents, whatever.
If the problem is too complex for images, write what the person is bound from on slips of
paper and place them around the candle. Maybe they are gossiping and making your life
a misery. Write it down and explain what you want stopped.
Papyrus, or good thick paper made from cotton or linen work best for this.
I have pinched the first blank page of old books at sales!
Use red ink if you are angry, purple ink if you are sad.
Wrap the candle and the image with black thread (use cotton tread or linen or even wool, if possible).
Invoke Isis and "Linda the Binder With Linen Thread."
Say out loud what you are Binding the person from.
Light the candle and leave it burn until the wax begins to drip over the thread and image.
Burn it every day for a week, until the image is thick with wax.
Use this as a meditation device to direct your will to Binding the person.
You will have direct results if you have a just reason for this spell.
You can also Bind a person from harming themselves.

Reverse Spells Cast With Black Magick

Light two black candles and chant:
In the name of the Gods and all ye Spirits
In the name of Kernunnos and the light and the dark
And the Gods of the Netherworld
And whosoever shall be casting a curse against me
Let them suffer their own curse
Let these candles be their candles
This burning be their burning
This curse be their curse
Let the pain they have caused me and mine
Fall upon themselves
Do this spell for five consecutive nights (as close to midnight as possible) and each night
chant the spell until the candles are spent.

Basic Candle Spell

This type of candle magic is very basic, yet quite effective.
This is a good time to iterate how closely Karma and ethics are intertwined.
You choose your own colour of magic, not once, but each time you practice.
Some traditions believe in Karma as "What you do comes back to you".
Keep in mind that for any magic it is best (though not necessary) to do calling
magick, such as money, love, health, luck or anything that brings
something to you, during the waxing moon (first quarter) to the full moon. Banishing magic,
such as bindings, quitting bad habits, curses or anything pushing energy away should be
done during the waning moon (last quarter) to the new moon. These are optimal times,
but you cannot always base your magick around the moon. Basic candle magic deals
only with two colours, white and black Correspondence tables at good Wiccan sites.
Envision the white candle as the waxing to full moon and the black candle as the
waning to new moon. For any calling purposes, use the white candle.
For any banishing purposes, use the black candle.
(Note: Always use candles that are one solid colour throughout.
Scratch some wax off to test this if you are not certain.)

You Will Need:
One white or black candle Candle holder Matches or lighter Olive oil
Basic Candle Magic Spell
Perform STEP ONE, Meditation.

For white candle:
Rub oil from the tip of the candle towards the base, while humming and visualizing your
reason for doing this spell. Continue humming and visualizing for about five minutes.
For black candle:
Rub oil from the base of the candle towards the tip, while humming and visualizing your
reason for doing this spell. Continue humming and visualizing for about five minutes.
Continue for either candle. Place the candle into the holder and light it.
Chant your chant for as long as you can while visualizing your purpose.
To chant, use a monotone humming voice. You should create a specific chant for your purpose.)
It can be as simple as one word or as complex as you wish.)
(Examples: "Money, money, come to me", "bring love", or "Protection surround me, complete serenity".)
When you cannot chant and visualize any longer, put the candle out and repeat the
spell the following night (or day).
After you see the first glimpse of the results of your spell, let the candle burn all the way out.
Remember, after the completion of any spell or ritual, say: "So mote it be."

Candle Magick

Depending on your goal, you will need to choose the candle colour that is appropriate for your task.
Different colours represent different things, for example, if you want to use this spell to gain money,
you choose a green candle, because green represents money (as well as other things).
If you wanted love, you would use a pink candle (or red if it's actually lust you want).
Take the candle and engrave it from top to bottom with what it is your need, using the
back side of the blade of a dull knife. (Yes, you can use your athame, but a common butter
knife works if you don't have one).

Engrave the first and last initials of the person you want to cast the spell on (your own initials
if it's for yourself) on the bottom of the candle in the same manner.
After you have engraved your candle, rub incense ashes all over the candle.
This means bottom, base, middle, tip, and wick.
If you wish, the ashes of the incense may also correspond with your goal.
Place the candle in a sturdy candle holder (preferably metal, glass may shatter) and light it.
Leave the candle to burn in a safe place. In order for this to work, the candle
must be left to burn all the way down.

(Optional) If you think it would help, sit in front of the candle for a few minutes and
concentrate on your goal. Meditate on it. Before you leave your candle to finish burning,
repeat a few times what it is your wish for the spell to accomplish.
After the candle had burned out, clean the excess wax away from the candle holder,
and throw it away. It should take about 24 hours to start working, depending on the goal.

Witch's Healing Candle Spell

To help speed a recovery from illness, write the sick person's name upon a white human-shaped
candle of the appropriate gender. As you anoint it with three drops of myrrh or mint oil, visualize
healing energy in the form of white light flowing from your hands into the candle and say:
In the divine name of the Goddess
Who breathes life into us all
I consecrate and charge this candle
As a magical tool for healing.
Place the candle on top of a photograph of the sick person and then light the wick.
As the candle burns down, concentrate upon the person in the photograph, willing him
or her to be well again, and chant the following incantation:
Magick mend and candle burn,
Sickness end; good health return.

Reversing A Candle Spell

Do this 5 nights in a row, at dusk - as the sun dies and darkness descends.
Light 2 Black candles and as they burn, speak this invocation:
In the name of the Gods and all ye spirits,

This curse be their curse.
Let the pain they have caused me and mine
Fall upon themselves.

Colour Correspondences For Candle Magick

Light, like all things, vibrates. Every colour vibrates at a different speed.
The different vibrations of various colours can be used by our brains in the rituals we perform for
healing, meditations, magic, or any thing we wish. This is called practical magic because we are
using an Element, this time Light. Each colour represents a principle or value.

Red - Energy, Strength, Passion, Courage, Element of Fire, Career Goals, Fast Action, Lust,
Blood of the Moon, Vibrancy, Driving Force, Love, Survival

Orange - Business Goals, Property Deals, Ambition, Career Goals, General Success, Justice,
Legal Matters, Selling, Action

Gold - Wealth , The God, Promote Winning, Safety and Power of the Male, Happiness, Playful Humour

Yellow - The Sun, Intelligence, Accelerated Learning, Memory, Logical Imagination,
Breaking Mental Blocks, Selling Yourself

Pink - Romantic Love, Planetary Good Will, Healing of Emotions, Peace, Affection, Romance,
Partnerships of Emotional Maturity, Caring, Nurturing

Green - Earth Mother, Physical Healing, Monetary Success, Abundance, Fertility, Tree and Plant
Magic, Growth, Element of Earth, Personal Goals

Hidden Knowledge

Silver - Telepathy, Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Psychometry, Intuition, Dreams, Astral Energies,
Female Power, communication, The Goddess

Brown - Influence Friendships, Special Favours

Black - Protection Repelling Negativity, Binding, Shape shifting

White - Spirituality, The Goddess, Peace, Higher Self, Purity, Virginity (which means that the woman's
mind is her own, and not controlled by a man) white may also be substituted for any other colour.

Dressing A Candle For Ritual Use

Chose type and colour of candle appropriate for ritual.
Cleanse the candle prior energies: you may use water, salt, pure soap, or baby oil
(all previously blessed and consecrated).
Bless and consecrate oil to be used, appropriate to ritual.
State and engrave (if you wish) what the candle is to represent.
Anoint the candle with oil and focus on desire (purpose of ritual).
For ritual of achievement: anoint oil from the top of the candle to the middle in a
downward motion, then from the bottom of the candle to the middle in an upward motion.
For ritual of banishment: anoint oil from the middle of the candle to the top in an
bottom of the candle in a downward motion.
Bless and consecrate the candle.
Meditate on desired outcome.
Some do not use matches to light candles, the sulphur is considered unclean. If you feel this,
use an incense starter or stick to light your candles.
To extinguish a candle, snuff it out or wave your hand over it hard enough to make a breeze to put it out.
Do not blow or pinch it out.
Blowing a candle out blows desires away, and pinching a flame pinches out desires.

Candle Magick

Candle magic is used with visualization and intent toward whichever goal or need you have.
Candles are an effective tool for concentration. Also, different colours or scents will provide
varying energies to help you with your goal. Colours are powerful symbols.
Many different belief systems incorporate colour into rituals, and candle magic is one way to do so...

red...symbolizing the element Fire and the direction of the South, red is used for strength,
physical energy, courage, sex, and passion.

pink...a candle for love spells (remember that these should never be performed against another's will...)
also friendship and compassion. Pink is for emotional needs.

yellow...symbolic of the element Air and the direction of the East, yellow provides energy for matters
of intellect, divination, travel, and eloquence.

green...symbolizing the element Earth and the direction of the North, use green for prosperity,
fertility, employment, growth and healing.

blue... symbolizing the element Water and the direction of the West, blue candles are used for
healing, peace, happiness and psychic growth.

purple...use this colour for matters of spirituality, power, meditation.

white...associated with the Moon, white is used for protection, purification, divination and is
an all purpose candle.

black...use black for banishing negativity, or absorbing it when you feel the need for this.

Also, burn your candles on the days of the week that correspond with your wish.
This helps to bring planetary energies to your goal.

Sunday is ruled by the Sun and yellow candles are used on this day.

Monday is ruled by the Moon...use white candles

Tuesday is ruled by Mars...use red candles

Wednesday is ruled by Mercury...use purple candles

Thursday is ruled by Jupiter...use blue candles

Friday is ruled by Venus...use green candles

Saturday is ruled by Saturn...use black candles

If you wish to add more power to your candle magic, anoint your candles with an appropriate oil
before burning them. As you are doing this, visualize your need and focus your energy towards that.
love...rose, apple blossom, gardenia, jasmine, ylang-ylang
sex...cinnamon, patchouli, lavender, clove, musk, vanilla, tuberose
luck...basil, bayberry, vervain
protection...bergamot, cinnamon, cinquefoil, sandalwood
prosperity...mint, basil, vervain, hyssop, bergamot
purification...frankincense, benzoin, sandalwood, myrrh
divination...nutmeg, lemon grass, acacia, lilac, lotus, narcissus
banishing...carnation, rue

Creating Candle Magick

The best type of spell is one you have created yourself.
Remember, as much energy as you put in your magick, is as much energy as you'll get out.
You may also wish to enhance the effect with an appropriate scent and/or an appropriate
Gem or Stone and even an Herb. There is also a corresponding colour, day, element and
moon phase, all in which, not really necessary, but will give added enhancement and power
to the magic desire. All of these elements together will manifest to one heck of a wish being
put out there upon the elements. Now a perfect moon or day is not a mandatory condition,
neither are all the rest of the enhancements. Sometimes, just the simple act of lighting of a
candle will do. For example, the in-laws are on their way over. In order for the night to go
well and no tensions or worries for the night, light a scented candle, perhaps with Jasmine
or Lavender and a pink or Blue colour too. This not only looks very warm and inviting, but the
candle is sending out your wishes for a stress free night and the scent is working to calm
and ease the tensions in the room at the same time! Your mother-in-law just may think you
are okay after all while the whole time you were performing magic!!!! In your magic journal
or on parchment paper list your goal, the intended result, and a chant, prayer or poem for
your spell. For example if your goal is true love and a marriage proposal, your magical
journal (or parchment paper) may look like this:

GOAL: TRUE LOVE
INTENDED RESULT: Happiness, Marriage
CHANT: TRUE LOVE, FIND ME NOW,
BRING WITH YOU, HAPPINESS AND MARRIAGE VOW

The whole time you are saying this, you will be concentrating on the outcome of the wish
as you have envisioned it along with the way in which it will be fulfilled. Picture yourself with
your desired results, happy, in love, married, home, etc. Take a few moments to do this make
it a complete picture in your mind. Then take your candle (for this example a pink one) place
in an area so it will be undisturbed. (Please use all precautionary actions in this too.
Remember safety of yourself and others.) Determine the day of the week (Friday for manifesting
new love) and determine the MOON (in this example, you will need a WAXING MOON, to bring".)
Gather all your energy, thoughts, concentration and picture your desired results as you light your candle.

At this point you have now all the elements of the magic working for you.
There is the Air, Water, Earth, Fire, Spirit and Will that you have just released and sent out.
Stay thinking about this for a few minutes more of uninterrupted thoughts.
At this time, you can see whether your wish has or is having an effect by the way in which
the flame is behaving. Study its movements and the speaking it is doing.
Remember to relate it to the situation. If your candle goes out, it may be telling you to try again
on another night when you can concentrate a little more. Never relight the same candle.
The same is true if the candle breaks or is broken. Do not use it again.

It is best to just use the one you tried with for other non-magical purposes and get a new
one to try again. Let the candle burn undisturbed until extinguished.
At this time too, take a look and see if the melted wax from the candle left you a message.
See if you can discern anything from the image the melted wax left for you.
Please, don't be disappointed if you do not see anything remarkable or even fairly recognizable.
A further message is not always necessary and will not always be there.
But when one is, wow!, really neat and fun too! When you are through, you can throw the
remains away or bury them outside in the ground if you are so inclined.

If you have used a "petition card" (the wish written on a piece of paper or actual cards intended
for this reason and burned during the wish making), blow the ashes to the wind in the appropriate
direction of your wish while at the same time, thanking the elements for taking up your wish and
fulfilling what you desire most. Your thoughts again, at this time are highly tuned and you must
be careful in where they are going to fly. Try to ground yourself and your energies after you
have completed the task so that the energies you produced can be released to the elements
in hopes of fulfilment. You will find Candle Magick is a wondrous and powerful tool.
The above is an example only, again the best one is one you make yourself.
Use this as a guideline and remember the intention and the sincere wish is what is important.

Candle Spell Against Psychic Attack

--white candle red candle black candle
Imagine a blue ball of energy inside the candles. Caress the candles as you chant:
Goddess of Three, I call upon thee,
To protect from those who wish to harm me
Keep them from using the gift from thee
Keep them from using thy gift to harm me

When you finish chanting, imagine the blue ball exploding into lines of blue.
Imagine the lines surrounding you and wrapping you in warm blue energy.
See the blue light as a shield. Know that it is unbreakable.
Think about how it is the Goddess' Light protecting you.
Then put the candles someplace where they can burn undisturbed and let them burn themselves
out, sending all the energy into your shield. This spell is best performed during the full moon.
For longer effects you can make it a seven-day spell.

Adoration Candle Magick

On your altar, place two red candles at either end. Before doing this, rub the two candles
with rose essential oil. Again, on Friday, the day of the week devoted to the Goddess Aphrodite,
perform this task to attract your beloved. Write your name on one candle, and your beloved's on
the other. If you do not know his or her name, simply write "my beloved" or "my true love".
Again try to use language that will ensure positive magic. If you simply write "handsome" you
may well end up with someone gorgeous, but who is harmful for you in some other way.
Each evening at seven, light the candles and move them slightly closer together.
Carve into your candle a word of special significance to you, perhaps taken from your insights
when you performed the wishful thinking task. Perhaps the word "devoted" should be carved
into your beloved's candle. On your own, write the same. Meditate on this quality for several
minutes, then snuff out the candles. Repeat this for seven nights, using a different quality each
time, until on the seventh, the following Friday, both candles are finally standing as close together
as possible. Light them and let them burn down and out. If any wax remains, scatter it before you
as you walk through a beautiful place, wishing it to bring good fortune to others hoping for love.

Candle Binding

Get a large white candle, the kind that drips wax, and set it up on a tray.
Affix to it a photograph or other image of the person you wish to bind.
Make a ring of sea salt around it. Make a second ring with protective herbs.
Fill the rest of the tray with images that represent what you are binding the person from:
pictures of your family, keys to your house, legal documents, whatever.
If the problem is too complex for images, write what the person is bound from on slips of
paper and place them around the candle. Papyrus, or paper made from cotton or linen
work best for this. Use red ink if you are angry, purple ink if you are sad.
Wrap the candle and the image with black thread (linen, if possible).
Invoke Isis and Linda, the Binder With Linen Thread.
Say out loud what you are binding the person from.
Light the candle and leave it burn until the wax begins to drip over the thread and image.
Burn it every day for a week, until the image is thick with wax.
Use this as a meditation device to direct your will to binding the person.


Health Spell

Description:
This is actually an example of candle magick. Grind some nutmeg and mix it into
the wax as you prepare the candle. Add some vanilla extract to the wax for smell.
Light the candle and let the fumes fill your house.
This works well against the flu and the dreaded cold.
If you combine this with some jewel therapy remember that sapphire is a general
enchanter and that agate is said to reduce fever.

Make A Candle

First you will need to buy a sheet of wax from a craft or hobby store.
Cut it into several chunks and fill a coffee can roughly half full with it.
Place the can in a pot that has water in it. The water level should not be higher than the
can because sometimes water will spill or boil over. Heat the pot of water and when the
wax has turned into a fairly clear liquid, use a pair of tongs to pour it into a frame.
Some people make their own frames out of sheet metal. Keep the frame upside down
and suspend a wick with an extended rod, letting the wick hang down with a little extra
at the end to light. It's okay to use empty tuna fish cans to create votives and feel free to
experiment with other designs.

Healing Fire Candle Spell

You will need: -- Three Purple Candles Three Blue Candles Photograph of yourself .
Place the candles in a circle around the photograph. Charge each candle individually:
"I charge you by the powers of fire East, South, West, and North;
I charge you by the powers of The Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
I charge you by the powers of The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars:
To heal me of this disease (or ailment) Its causes and its manifestations.
So mote it be!" Now, after you light each candle, say:
"Burn the sickness in your flame Burn the sickness that would maim.
Burn the illness by your might Burn the illness in your light.
Heal me of illness and pain Heal me of all that is bane.
Heal me and set me free With my will so must it be!"
Do this spell as many nights in a row that you need to.

Justice Candle Spell

First, you must recite the opening chant:
" I move outside the limits of time to work my spell
The dragons help me weave the universal energy
The things that now exist become what I desire
The tides of Magick answer unto me"

Then, you need a tarot deck. Cards needed: Justice, The World, and nine of cups
Candles needed: grey, orange, indigo, purple, black, and gold.
Arrange the cards IN ORDER, left to right: Justice, The World, and then 9 of cups.
Arrange the candles below the cards IN THIS ORDER: grey, orange, indigo, purple, black,
and gold.

Light the candles and after clearing your mind, say:
"Gray mists to hide what I must do.
Orange light to change my luck and give me power.
Indigo strength to stop gossip and lies.
Purple power to break bad luck and drive away evil.
Great black walls to protect me from my enemies.
Sun-gold beams to give me fortune and success.
I stand surrounded by these powerful lights.
I ask the dragon's help to succeed in my case."
Concentrate a few moments on the cards and your objective.
After this you must say the closing chant:
"My thanks to the dragons, great and small, who came to answer my call,
We wove the Magick, wild and free, And as I will, so shall it be."
Place the candles in a safe place so they will not catch anything on fire,
such as a sink or even in the bath tub, and allow them to burn themselves out.

Reversed Crossed Conditions Using Black Candle

If you know who has put a crossed condition on you and you want to reverse the jinx onto them,
burn a black candle on their name (putting their name on a paper beneath an overturned saucer
under the candle) or carve their name on the candle.
If you don't know the name of the person who did this trick to you, carve the words "My Enemy"
on the candle. Any black candle will do, but if you use a black candle in the figure of the Devil,
carve their name on it, and dress it with Cast Off Evil Oil, things will go harder with them.
Burn the black candle on the toilet tank, a little bit each night, pinching it out between burnings.
Burn it while the moon is growing smaller -- then, on the dark of the moon, the darkest night of
the month, turn the burning black candle upside down and extinguish it in the toilet bowl, saying
"Thus will you, [name of enemy], meet your fate!"
Throw the remaining black candle stub and wax into a crossroads -- or into the yard of the person
who had put the roots on you or jinxed you.

Pressed Flower Candles

These candles are a great bathroom accent. Pansies make some of the best candles.
You can also use greenery such as fern or leaves, those purple leaves are great.
You display the flowers and greenery on the candle beneath a thin layer of wax.
You will need: Pillar candles Pressed flowers (your choice) Pressed greens (your choice)
raffia, (optional) craft glue or hot glue paraffin wax sauce pan metal bowl tongs
news paper, an old towel, or use wax paper.
To make these lovely candles:
Very carefully, or with tweezers, pick up flowers and greenery. Arrange on candle.
Also very carefully add a touch of glue to the backs of the flowers and greenery you can use
a tooth pick or Q-Tip to make it easier.
Let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow glue to dry completely.
Fill sauce pan with water and warm over medium low heat.
Balance metal bowl on rims so it sits above the waters surface. Melt wax this way.
Hold candle by the wick, either with your fingers (long wick) or for safety with piers or tongs.
Dip candle into the wax entirely. Remove slowly.
Place candle on wax paper and allow to dry very well.
Most flowers are great with this idea, and fern, cedar and oak leaves are very nice.
You can also splash things up a bit by adding coloured leaves around the candle before
dipping for a stunning effect. You can also adorn with wheat or cat tails.
