Protection Bottle Spell
Items: 1 bottle with cork - 1 cup
salt - 3 cloves garlic - 9 bay leaves - 7 tbsp. dried
basil - 4 tbsp. dill seeds - 1 tbsp.
sage - 1 tbsp. anise - 1 tbsp. black pepper - 1 tbsp.
fennel
Time: Morning of a sunny day
Ritual: Place the salt in a bowl and
say:
"Salt that protects, protect my home
and all within it"
Add the rest, one by one saying the
same words. Mix together with your hands,
lending energy. Visualize your home
as a shining, safe, secure place of sanctuary.
Put the mixture in the jar. Seal and
say:
"Salt and herbs, 9 times 9 Guard now
this home of mine"
Keep the jar in a safe place or as an ornament.
Piece of red
chalk.
Ritual: In the circle, ground and
center. Meditate on all preconceived ideas you
have about the perfect partner. You
might have a certain person in mind for
romance. Release the thought of that
person (it would be most unethical to work
magick to make a certain person love
you and will put you in jeopardy by the law
of return). Release all notions of
what your perfect lover will look like, or do for a
career, or even sound like. These
are externals, and if you cling to them you may
overlook mate simple because your
mind was focused on superficialities.
When your mind is clear and open,
hold the candle of your favorite color; this
represents you. Meditate and then
speak aloud all the qualities and energies you
are willing to bring to an intimate
relationship, such as "honesty, and the daily
expression of affection, and good
humor even in difficult times, ect. Replace that
candle on the alter and pick up the
white one. This represents your ideal partner,
whoever he or she may be. Speak
aloud the essential qualities you desire in a
mate, and ask Aphrodite to bring you
together in this lifetime.
Then place the two candles in their
holders at opposite ends of the alter. Draw a
heart in the center with the red
chalk, large enough for both candleholders. Each
day thereafter, meditate on the
perfect loving relationship for a few minutes, and
move the two candles an inch closer
together. If you started on a new moon, then
by the full moon, the candles should
be touching in the middle of the heart. When
they meet, draw two more hearts
around the first one, raise energy by singing
your favorite love song, (or singing
with a recording of it) and charge the candles.
So mote it be!
