80 Spiritual Spells from The Immortal's Keep

• Put half the soil into the bottle.
• Add half the salt on top of that (to make layers).
• Next add the bay leaf and the dill and fennel seeds.
• Put the rest of the salt on top of this and the rest of the soil on top of the salt. Drop the carnelian stone on top of everything.
• On the taper candle Use the burin or pin to carve the word: Protect [pets name]
• Fit the candle into the top of the bottle. If it is too big, wedge it in or warm the bottom slightly until it stays securely by itself.
• Burn the candle when convenient. You don’t have to burn it all down at once, but eventually the candle will burn itself out.
• When the candle will not stay lit any longer but forms a plug for the top of the bottle, put the spell bottle near the place your pet spends most of his or her time. If you are fearful that your pet may be stolen, add a sprig of rosemary to the herbs in the bottle. You can expect to become very aware of your pet’s wellbeing in the light of this spell. Conditions you have not previously noticed may become apparent.

Your image must be one that you feel you can relate to fully. Perhaps the easiest to see is in the form of a rope joining the two of you together. If you are good at seeing colour then the best to use is something similar to iridescent mother of pearl, because that contains all colours. You might see the image as a rigid bar, which would suggest that there is an inflexibility in the relationship between you which may require you to deal with the expectations of others.

The incense is used to create an environment which is free from other influences; this is just between you and your perception of the link you have with the other person. Light your incense and sit quietly, considering carefully the link between you.

Become aware of the flow of energy between you and gently withdraw your own energy, seeing it returning to you and being used for your own purposes rather than the other persons. (This may be enough to bring about a change in your relationship which has a satisfactory outcome for you.)

Next think carefully about how the other person makes calls on your time and energy - whether these are physical, emotional or spiritual. Resolve that you will either not allow this to happen or will be more careful and sparing in your responses. You might develop a symbol for yourself which you can use when you feel you are being sucked in. Preferably use one which amuses you, since laughter is a potent tool. You could use the image of a knot being tied, a cork or a stopcock.

If you decide that you no longer wish to be associated with the person, use a technique which signifies breaking the link. It will depend upon your own personality and that of the other person as to how you do this. Visualizing the link simply being cut may bring about a more powerful ending with tears and recriminations, whereas a gentle teasing out of the link may be slower but less painful.

It is here that you must trust your own judgement with the thought that it must be done for the Greater Good. If therefore you feel that at least some links must be left in place you can do this, for instance if you would wish to know when the other person is in trouble.

Finally see yourself walking away from the person, free of any bonds between you. Always ensure that you leave them with a blessing for their continuing health, wealth and happiness.

Now you will only become involved with them at your own wish. You can see from the above that at all points you have a choice for your course of action. This is because each stage must be considered very carefully, and not done in anger. You must remain as dispassionate as you can and always remain true to your own principles.

• At night time light a small fire in your cauldron or dish.
• If not using fire then decide where and how you wish to dispose of the paper.
• Write on your paper the words: BAD LUCK
• Think hard about when circumstances have not gone well for you and write them all down.
• Draw a big X across the paper with the black marker.
• Put the paper into the fire and say three times: Fire, fire brightly burning

• Bury the paper, walk away and don’t look back.
• If using the Element of Water, find a rushing stream or a source of fast flowing water - at a pinch a flushing toilet can be used.
• Again tear the paper into small pieces.
• As you dispose of the pieces say: Water, water, rushing pure

• Throw or blow the pieces to the four winds.

• Say:

• Take a deep breath and this time as you breathe in be conscious of the fresh energy you are taking in. Any of the parts of this technique is enough to dispel the bad luck so a combination of them will be more than enough to change your life. You do however have a responsibility after this to understand yourself and how you draw negative influences towards you.

• Take a leisurely bath placing the tealights securely at each of the four corners of the bath.
• Add the essential oil to the bathwater.
• Visualize all your cares being washed away and at some point begin concentrating on the journey to come.
• Do this without anxiety just savouring the enjoyment of the journey.
• To this end you might light a yellow candle for communication and ask that you be open to opportunities to enjoy new experiences, get to know new people and understand the world in which you live.
• You can blow the tealights out when you have finished your bath and relight them when you return home as a thank-you for a safe journey.
• Now prepare a charm bag with: 1 part basil 1 part fennel 1 part rosemary 1 part mustard seed 1 pinch of sea salt 1 clear quartz crystal A coin or bean for luck A square of indigo cloth One white cord If liked, add a representation of a wheel and/or a piece of paper with the name of your destination
• Spread the cloth so that you can mix the herbs quickly.
• Hold your hands over the herbs and ask for a blessing from Njord the Norse god of travel or Epona the Horse goddess who accompanied the soul on its last journey.
• Gather up the herbs and the representative objects in the cloth and tie it into a bag making sure it is bound securely with the white cord.
• Keep the bag secure about your person. You should find that your journey is accomplished without too much trouble and that people are eager to assist you when you need help. You may well find that you are observing more than is usual or are being asked to participate in experiences which might otherwise pass you by.

Place the rosemary inside your case. Trace the sign of the pentagram over each lock. Weave the ribbon securely round the handle. Say three times: "Protected is this case of mine. Return now safely in good time".

Practically, you should recognize your luggage anywhere, and if you do have to lose sight of it, for instance when flying, it has been made safe, and will come back to you quickly. Thieves are unlikely to think that it is worth stealing and it is not likely to get lost.

• Visualize a sphere or bubble of light around the vehicle and mentally seal it with the sign of the equal armed cross above the bonnet.
• Enhanced technique YOU WILL NEED Few drops of frankincense oil
• Stick of frankincense or other protection incense
• If desired a small charm such as a dolphin or eagle

• You can expect to feel happier and to feel safer through having carried out the protection spell, but this does not mean that you can afford to take risks with your driving and you should observe all other safety precautions as well. For some people travelling can be a real ordeal. These three techniques can protect the traveller and give considerable peace of mind during what is, after all, a period of transition. When you arrive safely at your destination it is always worthwhile making a small offering to the powers that be that have helped you in thanks.

Gather together rosemary, needles, pins and red wine. Fill the jar with the first three, saying while you work: "Pins, needles, rosemary, wine; In this witches bottle of mine Guard against harm and enmity; This is my will, so mote it be!"

You can visualize the protection growing around you by sensing a spiral beginning from you as its central point. When the jar is as full as you can get it, pour in the red wine. Then cap or cork the jar and drip wax from the candle to seal. Bury it at the farthest corner of your property or put it in an inconspicuous place in your house.

Walk away from the bottle. The bottle destroys negativity and evil; the pins andneedles impale evil, the wine drowns it, and the rosemary sends it away from your property. It works unobtrusively like a little powerhouse and no one need know that it is there.

• You should make sure that you only gather fallen wood or driftwood.
• Make sure you have enough to keep each of the fires burning for about half an hour.
• Taking up one of the sticks of wood, draw a rough circle about eleven feet in diameter.
• Determine the four directions North, East, South, and West (use a compass, the sun, moon, or stars).
• Lay a small pile at each point just inside the circle but do not light them.
• Reserve any spare wood safely beside each pile to keep the fires burning for at least half an hour.
• Walking to the South first, light the fire proclaiming as you do: Nothing from the South can harm me Welcome Spirits of the South.
• Wait until one of the pieces of wood is burning, pick it up and move to the West. Light the fire and say: Nothing from the West can harm me Welcome Spirits of the West.
• Again take up a burning branch and move to the North.
• Light the fire while saying: Nothing from the North can harm me Welcome spirits of the North.
• Again take up a burning piece of wood and take it to the East.
• Light that fire and say: Nothing from the East can harm me Welcome spirits from the East.
• Take up a burning branch and carry it to the South.
• Thrust it into the southern fire and choose a new branch.
• Trace an arc with it above your head from South to North, saying: Nothing from above can harm me Welcome spirits from above.
• Finally, throw the wood down in the centre of the circle and say: Nothing from below can harm me Let spirits come who wish me well.
• This last stick represents Aether or spirit and this technique has created a sphere of energy which you can call on whenever you need it.
• You can replace that piece of wood into the southern fire if you wish, or contemplate it as it burns out.
• Replenish the fires from the reserved wood pile as necessary.
• Sit in the centre of the circle and recognize that the fires are purifying and cleansing your personal environment on every level of existence.
• Watch each fire carefully to see if you can perceive the spirits of the Elements: Salamanders for Fire Gnomes, Dryads or Brownies for Earth Sylphs for Air Undines for Water
• Revel in the warmth of the fires, appreciate their light and sense their protection.
• Remember these feelings for they are what protects you as you leave this space.
• When the fires begin to die down, douse them with the water and bury the embers to prevent them flaring again.
• Erase the markings of the circle and leave the space.
• This spell or ritual (depending how ornate you wish to make it) as it is done in the open air creates a barrier of protection for you, but may also make you more conscious of how fire works. In this case it consumes that which is dead and finished with, leaving only its power in its wake.

• Sit in your sacred space and gather your energy until you feel extremely powerful.
• In the main doorway to the building, face outwards and visualize a huge wheel in front of you.
• Put your hands out in front of you as though grasping the wheel at the positions of twelve o’clock and six o’clock with your left hand on top.
• Visualize the energy building up in your hands and forming a ‘light rod’ or laser beam between them.
• Bring your hands through 180 degrees so they change position (right hand now on top).
• Pause with your hands at nine o’clock and three o’clock and again build up a light rod between them.
• As you do so say something like: Let none with evil intent enter here.
• Again feel the energy build up between your hands and say: May those who would harm us, stay away.
• Bring your hands together level with your left hip and ‘throw’ the energy from your hands to create a barrier in front of the door. This powerful spell should be sufficient to prevent all intrusion, but you could reinforce it by treating all other entrances in the same way and could also visualize small wheels at the windows. You might vary the technique by tracing a banishing pentagram on the door itself.

Discuss with your child the best image they can have of protection. This might be a shield, a cloak, a wall or more effectively being surrounded by a cocoon of light. Working with their own visualization image, have them experience what it is like to feel safe and protected. Agree that whenever they are frightened or under pressure they can use this visualization.

Now whenever you have to be separated from them, repeat these words or similar to yourself three times: "Forces of light, image of power Protect (name of child) till we meet again". Now perceive them surrounded by light and know that they are as safe as you can make them.

You may need to reinforce for the child the idea of them feeling protected by their own image, but coincidentally you are teaching them to have courage and to experience their own aura and circle of power. You may well find that your parental antennae tend to be alerted quite quickly when your child is having a problem.
