A Sea Ritual For The Return Of What Is Lost

A Sea Ritual For The Return Of What Is Lost

This is based on a very old custom; wives of sailors would keep a bottle of sea water and then tip it back into the waves just before their husbands were due home. If you cannot go to the shore, use any pond, lake, river or stream. The spell can be used for finding lost or stolen objects, pets, or even straying partners, though with the latter you may decide not to bother.

* Go to the seashore just before high tide and, in a bottle, collect some sea water, saying:

Lady Ocean, Mother Sea, I take of yours, not willingly, but as a token of what I lack, I ask your help to bring him/her/it back.

* Wait until the tide turns and tip the water back into the sea, saying:

Lady Ocean, Mother Sea, I return what is yours, send mine back to me.

* Cast flowers on the water, sending a silent message to the person you have lost or whoever now has your missing item, asking for its safe return - if it is right to be.
