Spell CastingThis is just a simple purifying rite(cleansing rite), it can also be used before a coven ritual such as on Samhain. For this particular spell, you will be invoking the elements. If you are doing this by yourself just change "we" to "I".First off, you will invoke the elements starting with Earth, before you do this light the sage. Then start by facing North. Raise the Athalme or Wand, which ever feels right to you. Then with a firm clear voice say: "We call to the Northern Element, Earth. We ask the Earth spirits to attend us here as we call upon the magick of the night. Help us cleanse our bodies and souls from all evil and negativity. Bless us with your strength as we move on in this magickal rite. As we will it, So mote it be!" Now face East and ready yourself to invoke Fire: "We call to the Eastern Element, Fire. We ask the Fire spirits to attend us here as we call upon the magick of the night. Help us cleanse our bodies and souls from all evil and negativity. Bless us with your courage as we move on in this magickal rite. As we will it, So mote it be!" Now face South and ready yourself to invoke Water: "We call to the Southern Element, Water. We ask the Water spirits to attend us here as we call upon the magick of the night. Help us cleanse our bodies and souls from all evil and negativity. Bless us with your Wisdom as we move on in this magickal rite. As we will it, So mote it be!" Now face West and ready yourself to invoke the final element, Air: "We call to the Western Element, Air. We ask the Air spirits to attend us here as we call upon the magick of the night. Help us cleanse our bodies and souls from all evil and negativity. Bless us with your Knowledge as we move on in this magickal rite. As we will it, So mote it be!" As you finish this, grab a pinch of herbs (these can be any edible herbs, you can look up cleansing herbs if you desire) and drop it in the bowl of water. Mix with the with tip of Athalme and after your done dip you index and middle finger in it and draw a pentagram in the air above you. Light both the candle and incense. Pick up the sage and slowly cleanse yourself by moving the smoldering sage around your body, then walk around the circle doing the same to the circle members. As you do so, everyone chants (or just you if alone): "We cleanse our bodies and souls as we cast this circle. We cleanse our bodies and souls as we cast this circle. We cleanse our bodies and souls as we cast this circle. As we will it, so mote it be!" As you finish going around the circle, extinguish the smoldering sage. Now your circle is cast and cleanse. You may go forth in what ritual you had planned. After you are done with the ritual don't forget to bid the elements farewell and close the circle. Magic spells for everyone, anytime, any occasion.
