80 Spiritual Spells from The Immortal's Keep

• Dissolve the salt in the warm water.
• Tie the herbs together.
• Dip the sprigs in the water and sprinkle the -corners of the room with the water.
• Use the sprigs to sprinkle the salt water on your bedclothes, and particularly round the head and foot of the bed.
• When you have done this, place the herbs under your pillow, or if you prefer, under the middle of the bed.
• The next morning, discard the herbs at a crossroads if you can, either by burying them or allowing them to disperse to the four winds. Otherwise ensure that you have carried them well away from your home.
• This carries all negativity away from your bedroom and bed. This spell uses rosemary which brings clarity, sage for wisdom, ladies bedstraw which is said to have lined the manger at Christ’s birth, and broom corn, which is used in worship of the Mexican goddess Chicomecohuatl. All these herbs bring cleansing, not just of the room but also of the occupant’s aura or subtle energy. On the basis that one should always replace negative with positive, you may like to use the following technique to bring about positive dreams.
• Having prepared your environment, this next technique is of most use when there is a strong, deeply felt association with the issue or request being considered – in magical terms, ideal conditions for spell working. It is like being able to consult an encyclopedia that contains a wealth of information – in fact, the Higher Self.

Light the burner. Pour a little additional oil into your hand and rub your hands together to raise power. Hold the crystal in your most powerful hand and pass it through the fumes from the oil burner three times.

Face the direction you know the recipient to be. "Say Goddess of Love, Goddess of Power, Hear me now as I thee implore. Help (name) to do what they must. Create the conditions for their success".

Build up a ball of energy around the crystal until it is as powerful as you can make it. Place the crystal by the side of your bed, directing the energy of the ball towards the recipient and know that it will be transmitted to the recipient as self-confidence for the task in hand.

Visualize the person concerned standing tall and confident in a shaft of light stretching from the crystal to them. Next morning, wash the crystal under running water and store until it is needed or give it to the person concerned. This spell works because you have no expectations. Your gift of encouragement is freely given without thought of reward. The payoff comes when you see the recipient succeed in their own way.

Light the incense. On the paper write (or have inscribed if you do not have a steady hand)the following words:" May the Warm Winds of Heaven Blow softly upon your house. May the Great Spirit Bless all who enter there. May your Mocassins make happy tracks in many snows, and may the rainbow always touch your shoulder".

Pass the parchment through the smoke three times and present the gift neatly rolled. The Cherokee philosophy is that even the smallest drop of Cherokee blood makes one a Cherokee. While few people can lay claim to such ancestry we can share the awareness that we are all inter-related .

Write your problem on the sole of the shoe. Put the shoe on and stamp three times. As you do so, say: "Begone, troublesome times"

Either, throw the shoe into the fire and ensure that it burns properly. Or; Throw the shoe into the stream of water and watch it disappear. Or; Throw the shoe into the sea and walk away. As any of these happen, visualize the problem getting less and less until it disappears.

Often during this time inspiration may come to you as to how you can deal with the difficulty. The reason that you use the right shoe is because this is considered the more positive and assertive side of the body, which is normally the one needed. However, if it feels more natural to use the left shoe the result will usually be more passive and non- confrontational.

• After the third day of the New Moon every Jew should, either alone or along with their whole congregation, salute the Moon with a prayer. They should go together to a place where they can see the Moon best and from there look up at the Moon.
• The words to be repeated are:

Blessed art thou. O Lord our God, King of the World, Who with his Words created the heavens and with the breath of his Mouth the heavenly Hosts: A Statute and a Time he gave unto them, that they should not vary from their Orders, They were glad and they rejoiced to obey the Will of their Maker, The Maker is true and his Works are true: And unto the Moon, he said that she shall monthly renew her crown and her Beauty toward the Fruit of the Womb For they hereafter shall be renewed unto her, To beautify unto their Creator for the Glory of his Name and of his Kingdom Blessed art thou, O Lord, the Renewer of the Months. Then say three times: Blessed is thy Former, blessed is thy Maker, blessed is thy Purchaser, blessed is thy Creator.

Next, rise up onto the toes and say three times: As well I jump towards thee and cannot reach to touch thee, so shall none of mine enemies be able to touch me for harm.
Then say three times:

"Fear and Dread shall fall upon them, By the Greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone. As a stone they shall be still by thy Arms Greatness; Dread and fear on them shall fall."

Then following words should then be said three times to each other:

"Peace unto ye, unto ye peace, David, King of Israel liveth and subsisteth. "

This acknowledgement of the Moons validity was an important part of ancient Jewish thought. The words are not a spell in the true sense of the word, but they are still truly potent.

Place the sample of handwriting or paper in the jar and screw it tightly shut. Carry this away from the offending person.

If the badmouthing does not stop immediately, take the jar and seal it with the wax saying: "Gossip and ill-feeling begone. Trouble us no more". This should have the desired effect. When the difficulty is clearly past remove the paper from the jar and burn it.

Do not use the jar again for magical purposes. Remember with this spell that you are not binding the person, you are stopping their specific action, so releasing the paper means you are indicating that you are no longer involved with, or troubled by, them. They must be free to go their own way. Also try to make sure that you do not get involved in other gossip.

Light the incense. Place the candles in a ring around the Goddess image. Light the candles, beginning with the candle most directly before the Goddess image and each time repeat these or similar words: "Light of Luna, Protect me now".

When all are lit, hold the mirror so that it reflects the light of the candles. Turn slowly in each direction, ensuring that you throw the light as far as you can in each direction. Then spin round as many times as you have candles, continuing to project the light and say: "Goddess of love, goddess of light, Protect this space".

Pinch out the candles and put them away safely until you need to use them again. This technique is slightly unusual in that you pinch out the candles rather than allowing them to burn down. This is because it is the intensity of light which is required not the length of time it burns. This is a good way of rededicating your sacred space whenever you feel it necessary..

Cast your circle since this is a time when the spirits are abroad. Light your four Element candles. Light the incense to cleanse and sanctify the area and to draw the spirits home.

Light your tea lights, except for the extra one, remembering each person briefly. Say: "I greet my ancestors and loved ones who have gone before me" Light the extra tealight and say: "I welcome those who wish me well"

Break up the chocolate and put it on the metal plate, keeping one small piece in reserve. Hold the plate carefully over the tea lights until the chocolate begins to soften and perfume the air.

Contemplate what death means to you as you do so.(You may become aware of the presence of the spirits.) Say: "Welcome those who share my feast. May those not at rest now be at peace"

Eat your own small piece of chocolate. Place the plate with the chocolate outside your front door for the spirits to enjoy. Sit quietly as the candles and tea lights burn down and enjoy the sanctuary of your sacred space.

Close the circle when you are done. Since the Day of the Dead occurs at the same time as Samhain this is a suitable way of celebrating and making space within your life for the good things to come. As you contemplate change and the death of the old also spare a thought for the life you wish to lead in the year to come.

Light the incense at least half an hour before you take action so that your sacred space is as clear as you can make it. Contemplate your difficulty and acknowledge any part you may play in it.

Tie three knots in the ribbon - one in the middle and one at each end. As you tie the first, say: "Negativity here be bound". As you tie the second: "Nastiness I do confound". As you tie the third: "By power of three, now you impound."

Put the ribbon and the feather together on your altar or sacred space. Leave it alone for three days for justice to be done. After this time take the ribbon and bury it, if possible in open ground.

Keep the feather in your drawer or purse as a reminder of your willingness to be free. You must remember to control your own emotions of hatred or fear, for you must be above reproach. When you feel that the problem has dissipated, be tolerant and try to remain on good terms with the person concerned, but never tell them what you have done.

As always you should be conscious of the fact that it is wrong to try to force someone to do something against their will. Therefore carefully consider your actions and be very clear as to why you are trying to influence a particular situation.

You might, in spells where the timing is important, prepare the groundwork for success but tie a knot to keep some control over when the circumstances dictate a proper release. Let us assume that you have a court case which needs some careful management and you need to make an impact.

Take your chosen length of material and as you tie a simple knot, chant words such as: "As this knot is tied in thee: The power is held until set free. Tis bound, until on my command. The knowledge needed comes as planned".

Put the tied object in your pocket, then perhaps on the morning of the case at your chosen moment release the knot. This will enable you to have all the information and energy you need for a successful outcome.

You can also use this same knot tying to enhance your dream content though the procedure is slightly different. If you wish to find the answer to a problem in your dreams, having carefully thought things through as much as you can, hold the withy in your hand and allow your energy to flow into it.

Tie a simple knot whilst saying : "Catch now my dreams and hold them still. That I may know what is thy will. Create a space that I may see; What answer will be best for me" Sleep with the tied knot under your pillow and wait for inspiration

You may not receive the answer on the first night, so be prepared sleep with the knot in place for at least three nights. While the answer may not always come in a dream, usually you will find that shortly afterwards the resolution comes about in a flash of inspiration, a certainty of the right action or through information from an outside source. The method ensures that you have received help from both your own inner self and the powers that be.
