Full Moon Scrying Ritual

Full Moon Scrying Ritual

The upcoming summer months are the perfect time for Full Moon Scrying and I'd like to pass on an old, time honored scrying ritual originally written by D.J. Conway that I have used many times during the long summer nights:

Items Needed:
1 bright, shiny silver coin
1 small, black cauldron or scrying bowl filled with water

Perform this ritual outside where the rays of the Moon can fall directly onto the water in the cauldron. If you cannot go outside, stay in a darkened room near a window that the Moon shines through. Place the coin in the water and take the cauldron in both hands. Gaze up at the Moon and say:

"Lovely Lady of the night,
Mysteries old and futures bright,
Give me a glimpse of that to be
And as I will so mote it be."

Look down at the coin shimmering in the cauldrons water. With your eyes half closed, adjust your vision as if you were looking into and through the coin. Don't try to analyze anything you might see or that might come into your mind. Just accept it. Some people, rather than seeing actual pictures within the cauldron, will have mental impressions, feelings or pictures. When you have finished, bow to the Moon and say thank you. Pour the water out on the ground. You're done!

Home or Business Protection Spell

To bless your home or business, place a bowl of candy, herbs or stones by your front entrance. Bless the bowl's contents by speaking aloud the following verse:

"As all who enter here are Children of the Great Mother,
May those who pass always walk safely in her steps.
May they feel the guidance of her hand,
And know she is always with us,
From the time we meet till we meet again."

Invite visitors to take an offering as they enter the premises.

The Bottle Spell

Used to neutralize the power of those who intend to do you physical harm, or
hurt your reputation, or in any way pose a threat to your security. You Will
need:
4 tbsps. Frankincense or Myrrh
4 tbsps. Black powdered Iron
4 tbsps. Sea Salt
4 tbsps. Orris-root Powder (or oak moss)
1 white candle
1 bottle with a cork or lid
Mortar and pestle
Parchment Paper
Black Ink or black ballpoint pen
Black thread

Mix the sea salt, orris-root powder, and the iron in a bowl. Then cut a piece
of parchment to fit inside your bottle and write on it with black ink:

I neutralize the power of (name of adversary) to do me any harm.
I ask that this be correct and for the good of all.
So mote it be!

Roll up the parchment, tie it with a black thread to bind it, and place it in the
bottle. Fill the bottle with the dry ingredients. Then take the white candle and
while turning the bottle counterclockwise, drip the wax over the cork to seal
it. Last, secretly bury the bottle in a place where it will not be disturbed and
no animals or people will dig it up. This spell is like a genie in a bottle. It
should never be unleashed or the power of the spell is lost.

A Tarot Spell to Increase Psychic Visions

(you need 3 tarot cards. The Star, The High Priestess, and The Hermit)

"I call upon the Source of All things to send me power.I call upon the
God to send strength to my spell. I call upon the Goddess to give life
to my spell. I call upon the elemental forces to draw the desire of my
spell.
I call upon the astral forces to receive the image of my spell.
So mote it be!"

(Holding the tarot cards in your hands)

"I bring forth these symbols for my spell to be cast. Here shall be
woven, chance, fortune, and fate, so that my wish be quickly attained!"

(lay out the cards in the following order. Meditate and visualize)

card 2

card 1 card 3

Card 1 is The Star for inspiration, guidance, and creativity.
Card 2 is The High Priestess for focusing of the mind and intuition.
Card 3 is The Hermit for interpreting the knowledge you receive.

(Place a candle just above The High Priestess card)

"I am open and receptive to higher levels of conciousness. Spirits of
guidance are here for me and I channel the knowledge they offer. I am
open and receptive. My psychic centers are quickened. I open my eyes and
ears to all impressions that are coming to me. I spread the veil of
being that I may look beyond. I open the windows of 'where' and 'when'
and I see beyond.

(hold your hands over the cards)

"Into these cards I direct the power from within me and the power called
upon from the spiritual forces around me.
Mark well what I have done here! Bring to me my wish! I place this
petition before the God and Goddess. May it be done for the greater good
of all!
By the power of the God and Goddess and by the forces of the planes...I
declare my spell to manifest!"

"I release now the forces of the astral plane. I release all of the
elemental forces. I release the God and Goddess. I release the power of
the Source of All. Farewell and I bid you thanks!"

SPELL TO BRING LOVE

Equipment: related candle (I only had white), an oil to dress it with (I used lavender as it is my favorite scent and I feel more relaxed and strong when using it), a lighter, and I put it in a pumpkin to make it more interesting and because it was Samhain.

Dress the candle, and say quietly to yourself the following words while lighting the candle, say it at least more than three times, I can't remember how many times I said it but it was definitely a few at different times in the stages of the candle burning. Let the candle burn out, and say it once more when the candle has died. Then I left the pumpkin and candle for three days.

'Oh lady of love, oh lord of love,

send to me my true love, love divine,

love of time, send me the man
(woman) I pine, this man (woman)

I seek will make me complete,

therefore as this candle burns find
him quickly before the wheel does turn w

ith harm to none this spell is done. So mote it be.'

This can be made more complicated and a magic circle will make it more powerful.

DESTRUCTIVE KNOT SPELL

If there is a situation, problem, possible menace you are facing, there is a knot spell for this.

Take the cord and firmly visualize the problem in all its agonizing detail. Become emotional about it; seethe with anger, crumble into tears, whatever works. Then firmly tie the knot. Walk away from it, out of the room if possible. Take a shower, eat, do whatever will get your mind off the spell and allow you to relax. When your emotions are stabilized return to the knot. With calm and peace untie the knot. See the problem vanishing; dissolving into a dust that is swept away by the cleansing, refreshing North wind. It is done

ASHES TO RIDDANCE SPELL

There are times in our lives when we become burdened with worrying. We spend so much time worrying that we never come to solving the problem. Sometimes we have past hang-ups that prevent us from moving towards more positive lifestyles. This little spell is to help us put an end to these ruts in our lives.

Needed: Ashes from burned wood Jar or bowl to hold the ashes

Moon Phase: Waning Moon

Locations: Outdoors in a clearing

Gather wood ashes the day of the spell and place in a glass jar or open bowl.

During the day, hold the jar or bowl and visualize all your worries and/or hang-ups pouring from
your 3rd eye and heart and into the ashes. When the night falls, take the ashes to a clearing in
a field, wood, or parking lot. Hold the jar or bowl in your hands and do one last pouring out of
your worries and hang-ups. Now say:

"You are ashes, And to ashes you shall return."

Pour the ashes out of the jar or bowl and walk away without looking back. When you've returned home be sure to wash out the jar or bowl.

Burn some incense, take a bath, or light a candle, and refocus. It is done.

BANISHING AND CLEANSING RITUAL

Point your Athame at the sky, and then at the earth. Then pointing Athame horizontally either spin 360 or walk around the perimeter with the Athame held out in a threatening manner.

Spirits of evil, Unfriendly beings
Unwanted guests, Be gone!
Leave us leave this place, leave this Circle,
that the Goddess and the God may enter.
Go, or be cast into the outer darkness!
Go, or be drowned in the watery abyss!
Go, or be burned in the flames!
Go, of be torn by the whirlwind!
By the power of the Mother and the Horned One
We banish you! We banish you! We banish you!

Sprinkle the perimeter with salt and water

DEBT BANISHING SPELL

Supplies:
–Rolled parchment, 2 inches wide and as long as you like

–One black pen

–One purple candle

–Oil of your choice

–Incense of your choice

Cleanse and consecrate all supplies with the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water). List all your debts on the parchment. Draw a banishing pentacle on the back of the parchment. Carve a banishing pentacle on the candle. Place the rolled parchment in the candle holder then tighten the candle on top.

Think of banishing your debts. Think of the feeling of happiness and relief when the debts are banished. Light the candle. Take the candle to the East quarter and ask that the Sylphs send your message of debt-banishment out to the universe in a safe and protective way, and ask that prosperity return to you in the same manner. Put the candle back on the altar and, in your own words, ask Juno to banish the debt and replace with prosperous energy.

Allow the candle to burn completely. The paper will catch fire, so watch what type of holder you are using (glass will break) and that the candle holder is on a fire-safe surface. As the candle burns, concentrate on banishing your debts, your feelings of relief and happiness, and the coming prosperity

SPELL FOR RELEASING NEGATIVE BEINGS

You can make this ceremony as simple or as elaborate as you like.

To perform this ceremony you will need a smudge stick, a candle, and lavender or some other pleasant scent. Start by calling on your protector. Once you feel its presence, say a simple prayer of protection, such as:

Creator, Great Spirit, Universal Energy,
I call upon your love and your protection.
I call upon the beings of light and all
those beings that help lost souls.
See this being that has lost its way home.
It believes it is of the dark; it has forgotten
it is of the light.
Please surround it with your love and gently
guide it back to the light so that it may heal.
Please surround this place and all within it
with your love and protection.
I give thanks.

Light the candle and smudge stick.Thoroughly smudge the area and yourself and allow the smoke to clear the area of any negativity. Then stand in the center of the room and declare that only beings of light are allowed in your aura or dwelling place.

Call upon beings of light to protect you and your location.Demand that all lower energy forces leave now and return to the light. Declare that this place is only for those who live in love and light.
See yourself and the room filled with and surrounded by bright white light. Know you are safe and protected. Sprinkle lavender around the room. Make sure you protect yourself for a few days after you release the beings.

One way to do this is to visualize your energy field and see it filled with white light. Mentally seal it with white light and see flecks of green and pink light floating around your body. Do this several times a day for the next few days. You tend to be more open to negative beings once one has been removed, and this process will help seal up your energy field.

If you again feel a negative presence, repeat the ceremony. The easiest thing to do is make sure you don’t attract one in the first place. If you remember to call upon your protector and keep yourself surrounded by white light, they can’t get near you.

Banishing Oil

BANISHING OIL

1/2 oz olive oil

7 drops pepper oil (add cayenne pepper to olive oil if you wish)

10 drops peppermint oil - or peppermint essence from icing part of a grocers plus olive oil.
12 drops of rue or rosemary oil. You can add rue or rosemary to olive oil and put in a warm
place for 3 days and strain or buy the essential oil.
Some crushed black peppercorns
15 drops of pine oil or some pine needles stepped in olive oil for 3 days in warm place and strained.
Or pine essential oil

One obsidian or black onyx stone or a small black pebble

Blend together in an eggcup and put In a clean brown or dark medicine bottle. Some of these oils are volatile. Do not anoint yourself with Banishing oil. You could burn yourself. Wash your hands after using. Charge the stone or stones used after adding it and focus on the person and your intent pouring in energy and emotion. As you dress the candles you make them your magical tools. Charge again as you massage away from you massaging in banishing oil from middle to the ends of the candle.

Animal Spirit Dedication Ritual

1. A specific animal is chosen to be dedicated to a specific deity.
2. Purify the animal with juniper incense.
3. Sprinkle it with wine.
4. Decorate the animal with ribbons in colors associated with the specific spirit.
5. The animal is returned home or to its flock. It is now never ridden, worked or eaten, but is instead treated exceptionally well (or at least left alone to enjoy life) as a gesture of sacrificial devotion. This treatment may be extended over the creature’s entire natural life or for a specified period of time, although this must be stipulated from the first initiation of the ritual.

Animal Ally Invitation Spell

1. Choose a focal image for your altar, something that represents your ally for you. Use a toy, a photograph or an image. It is more crucial that it resonates strongly for you than that it be a literal depiction.

2. Surround it with objects or images that would normally be used to lure this creature. A dish of honey, for instance, summons a bear. Make the invitation as strong as possible.

3. If you can find candles in the shape of your desired ally or its food, add them to the altar.

4. Grind cinnamon and frankincense together and burn them as a spirit-summoning incense.

5. In addition to Step 2, offer literal food (a dish of milk for a snake, for instance). Alternatively, burn images of appropriate food.

6. Relax. Let your eyes go slightly out of focus and await visitations.

7. Try this for up to thirty minutes a day, until you receive results.

Although this spell request a waking vision, realistically your response may still occur during your dreams: have paper and pen by your bedside to record any significant dreams.

DREAMING IN THE GARDEN SPELL

Dreams can be merely entertaining or intense and prophetic.

Many natural aids to dreaming can be found in the garden!

If you want peaceful dreams that are relaxing, place a vase of jasmine by your bed.

If you are having nightmares and wish them stopped, place morning glories in the vase instead.

If you need to learn something in a dream, place a bay leaf under your pillow and ask for the knowledge.

If you just want nice dreams, use a sachet of lavender.

If you want to send a psychic dream to a loved one, blow the seeds off the top of a dandelion in his or her

direction and project your wish, then go right to sleep.

If you want your dreams to come true, you can do one of two spells.

At midnight on a Friday, in silence, gather nine small non spiny holly leaves and wrap them in a cloth.

Place them under your pillow, make your wish, and go to sleep. Your dreams will come true.

Another ancient spell is to scatter marigold flowers under your bed, make your wish, and then say:

Wish I want and wish I may

Come to me through dream so fair

Come by night and come by day

Come, thou wish, and ride thee here

SPELL TO SHOW YOU THE TRUTH OF A SITUATION or TO GRANT ANY WISH

Four or six bananas Palm butter Red cotton thread or wool/yarn

Parchment or brown paper Red ink or Dove's Blood ink Quill Nail

Start this spell on a Friday.

Buy a banana bunch in the name of Chango.

Write your wish on parchment and fold toward you.

Slip paper to fit tightly between bananas.

Rub palm butter on bananas.

Wrap banana bunch with red string or yarn until you can no longer see the folded paper.

Hang banana bunch on a nail outside by your front door.

By the time the bunch is black and withered you will have your answer or your wish granted

THE WISHING WELL

Take any large bowl.

Drip a few drops of different colored candle wax in the bottom of the bowl, then

adhere a white candle to that spot.

The different colors represent diverse needs and goals, while the white binds

this variety together in harmony.

Each morning, light the candle when you get up and put a coin in the bowl.

Make your wish for the day. Blow out the candle before you leave the house.

Whenever you desperately need to have a wish fulfilled, remove a coin from the bowl

and either plant it in rich soil (houseplants will do ) or throw it into moving water so

that your message of need will be carried through the earth. When the bowl is filled

with coins, use all but a few (these "seeds" always remain in your bowl) for random

acts of kindness, like getting treats for the neighborhood kids or helping a homeless person.

Your generosity will return to you threefold to keep the magic of benevolence, both

mundane and divine, with you always.

SPELL FOR BANISHING AND NEEDED CHANGES

Instructions: Sit in a quiet place that is special to you.

Hold a white or cream candle in your hands and visualize the area of your life that this

candles energy is needed in. After you light this candle the energy will come to you.

It may come right away or when you lease expect it.

When you are ready recite the spell or use your own words of power.

This candle I see before me, its color so bright,

Holds my needs of change in its light.

I call in the forces higher than I

To release the energy that is held inside

May it work for me in the most correct way,

Harming none and helping all as it leaves my stay.

I call on thee in perfect trust and love sending me guidance from above.

This I make happen and so be it will.

Take away this thing that brings me ill.

So mote it be.3x3x3

SPELL BINDER

This is best used at the end of a spoken or written spell.

This adds a certain boost to the releasing of energy.

It also works best if you are wearing a Pentagram you have attuned to yourself.

Speak these word with all the fibers of your body while releasing the spell's energy:

By the Pentagram I wear,

Water, Fire, Earth, and Air,

Ruled by Spirit as All should be

As I speak

So Mote It Be!

A GENERAL CHARGE FOR SPELL WORK

The following chant is a good all purpose chant that can be used for just about any spell:

Witches power burning bright, tarot, rune and blade,

Charge the spell, enfilled with might, here and now the magic's made.

Wave and tree, hedge and flame, strength of the elements gather here,

to bless this work and charge it well, to complete the spell now far or near.

Mystic Moon and Brilliant Sun, send your power here this way,

Gracious Lady, Mighty Lord, bless this charge that I lay.

Powers that are, powers that be, gather round this spell I cast,

empower my working three times three, send it forth to see it last! So Shall it Be!

AN ALL PURPOSE SPELL TO EFFECT ANOTHER

This simple spell can be used for any purpose - whether it be to empower a person,

to heal them, to bind them etc. Simply choose the appropriate color candle and scribe

the person's name and your intent upon it. Anoint it with an appropriate oil.

Light the candle and while watching it burn, repeat the following chant,

focusing upon your intent as you do so.

Powers that be, Powers of 3, Let X be all I see.

A WISHING POD

You will need to gather:

A seed pod from any tree, 1 piece of paper, pictures or drawings to represent your wish.

To make your dreams come true, take your seed pod or eggshell and on you piece of

paper write down what your wish or dream is. Decorate it with the pictures of your wish.

Make sure to put your intention behind what you want by making it as real as possible.

Place the paper in the pod and bury it in a young pot plant or a new tree.

Now let the Gods and Goddesses take over.

A POWERFUL WISH SPELL

This is a little complicated to describe but is well worth it.

You need a piece of recycled paper (recycled notebook paper works fine).

On the paper, write a short poem or chant to the Goddess and God that states your wish.

It is alright if you aren't the best poet on earth! But it is very important that you say exactly

how you feel and what exactly you need. Do your best and say it from the heart.

Close the poem with thanks to the Goddess and God.

Fold it in half with the words inside it.

Draw a triple goddess sign on the outside.

Now fold it in half again with the symbol on the inside.

Now draw a pentacle on the paper.

Finally, flip it over and write your name and birthdate on the other side.

Put this aside in a safe place and your wish will come true in due time.

If you change your mind before it comes true, burn the paper and put the ashes to the earth.

SPELL TO BRING (INSERT NEED HERE)

Purchase a new bottle of vanilla extract. Remove the cap and visualize a red light flowing

from your Third Eye and coloring the liquid in the bottle.

As the light flows into the bottle, chant :

"Where I place you, you will draw

(Need) from places near and far.

You will bring (need) straight to me.

As I will, so mote it be!"

Recap the bottle and take it to your chosen spot. Sprinkle a few drops around the area.

DESTRUCTIVE KNOT SPELL

If there is a situation, problem, possible menace you are facing, there is a knot spell for this.

Take the cord and firmly visualize the problem in all its agonizing detail.

Become emotional about it; seethe with anger, crumble into tears, whatever works.

Then firmly tie the knot. Walk away from it, out of the room if possible.

Take a shower, eat, do whatever will get your mind off the spell and allow you to relax.

When your emotions are stabilized return to the knot. With calm and peace untie the knot.

See the problem vanishing; dissolving into a dust that is swept away by the cleansing,

refreshing North wind. It is done.

CHANT FOR GOOD LUCK AND WELL BEING

To the moon.

To the sun.

To the skies.

To the waters.

Stars, let your fire burn.

Winds let your strength grow.

Let us unite.

Let me shine bright.

MIRROR MAGICK

Take a small mirror and lay it down, so it reflects up at you.

Then take a bowl of water (preferably a glass or silver bowl, but any bowl will do.

HINT: If using a ceramic bowl, plain is best.

You should use a bowl with pictures on it only if you have to (unless they are hieroglyphs).

Only use plastic bowls if you absolutely have to.

Put the bowl of water in the center of the mirror, and surround the mirror with candles

(this spell should be done in a dark room, or at night).

The spell works best if the candles are vanilla or lavender.

There should be four candles, one at each corner of the mirror (or, if using a round mirror,

one at each of these points: Northeast, Northwest, South east, Southwest).

In between the candles, on the North, East, South, and West sides of the mirror,

put incense burners (the spell can work without the incense, but it works better with it).

Put a small piece of silver (it can be a coin, a piece of a fork, anything) in the bowl.

Look down at the mirror, and chant this:

Mirror, Mirror, on the floor,

reflect for me forever more,

give me now the thing I crave,

I'll give it back when I'm in my grave,

A pool of water, A touch of ice,

a teardrop from the moon, all this I have and all I want, Is this.

Then you say what you want.

THE WISH SACK

--small piece of paper

--wishing incense (bay leaf, cinnamon, ginger)

Write your wish on a piece of paper and put some wishing incense on top.

Lift the corners of the paper and tightly twist them together to form a sack.

Light the wish sack while visualizing your wish coming to fruition. If the paper burns entirely,

expect wishes to come true immediately. Having to relight the paper once or twice signifies

positive results but only after obstacles clear. Having to re-light the paper any more than twice

is an indication that either your wish won't come to pass or that what you wish isn't good for you.

RUNIC SPELL FOR NEARLY ANYTHING

Needed:

--A flat stone at least 4' wide with a pentacle marked upon it

--A small bowl of some natural material (stone, metal, clay, etc)

--24 small, smooth stones marked with the 24 runes

--Paper A pen Working knowledge of runes

Write your intentions upon the paper in runes.

Cast a magic circle, then read what you have written aloud four times, first facing east,

then south, then west, then north.

Fold the paper and place it in the bowl, place the bowl upon the flat rock, directly

in the center of the pentacle.

Place the small stones in a circle around the flat rock, saying the name of each

rune aloud as you set it down.

Leave this arrangement in place until the spell has been fulfilled

VISION SPELL

If you wish to have a vision true, then put together this witches brew.
Mix this oil, this sacred potion, charged with power and devotion,
filled with Marigold, Rosemary, Clove, Mugwort, Lavender, Jasmine and Rose.
Make an incense of the same, to ignite the mind, the mystic flame.
Smudge with incense and anoint with oil, to cleanse yourself of mortal toil.
Chant this chant to start your mission, as a trigger for your vision:
Vision, Sight and deep perception, mystic light and meditation,
trance or conscious my eyes shall see, the other side shall come to me.
Now sit in thought, in meditation, lost in mind, in concentration,
wait for the vision that you desire to come to you within the hour.

PSYCHIC PROTECTION SPELL

It is best to find a work area that you can leave untouched for 3 days.

If you must put away your tools, try to leave the spell candle out in the open.

Prepare your work area by setting up any tools you may be using in addition to your spells candle.

(Black) Love or protection incense is recommended.

While setting up your area, concentrate on the purpose of the work.

Bathe or cleanse your self. Do not let negative thought enter your mind.

Go your work area. Cast the Circle, light incense.

Envision a large, white ball of light surrounding you, your work area, and your home.

Hold the candle between the palms of your hand and direct all positive energy into it.

Place the candle and prior to lighting say,

"This candle represents protection over me in all things."

Light the candle and say,

"As the light of this flame grows, I feel the light and positive energy around me.

As this candle burns, everything around me is blessed with light and love.

I am blessed with light and love. Negative energy is banished."

Sit back and watch the candle burn.

Keep visualizing the white ball of light and protection around you..

Evision your higher self blessing you and protecting you from harm.

When the candle has burned 1/3 of the way down say,

"As the flame of the candle is extinguished...

Evil, negativity, and harm towards me is banished!

Any entity, ghost or spirit her by mistake go into the light and pass on to the world of spirit,

be not afraid as many wait for you there who you have loved and who love you.

Extinguish the candle. But don't blow it out!

Repeat this for 2 more nights. Bury or throw away the left over wax.
