IngredientsA handful of red currantsA lily-of-the-valley (warning: poisonous) Magnolia flowers Chamomile A candle A quiet room or outdoor area, preferably locked or private Cumin and/or salt Clover Basil leaves, fresh Fennel seeds, fresh Lemon zest, fresh Lemon balm Geranium flowers Cinnamon DescriptionCalm yourself. Best used before powerful spells that may be stressful or spells that will change you or another object/person physically.
Spell CastingSprinkle the cumin and/or salt in a wide circle around you to protect from evil that may disrupt the calm.Light the candle (preferably black or white) and burn the cinnamon. Sit calmly and let your thoughts float away. Concentrate on the flame, watching it. Find the white flames in the center, then look through it, staring into nothingness. Keep doing this until your mind and the flame are empty of negative or distracting thoughts. Hold the magnolia flowers in your hands. Imagine calming power streaming in, forcing negative thoughts into the fire. Perform the staring exercise again, this time pushing out the negative thoughts. When the candle is cleared, close your eyes. Press on the bridge of your nose between the eyes. With eyes closed, move them to stare at that spot. It may take a few tries, but be patient. You should see a dot of light, either tiny or large. Stare at the light. Keep staring at the light. Try to see it expanding to fill your head with light, now find another light at the point on the nose and do the same. Keep doing this until the point of light looks like a lotus flower spreading outward. Focus on this point until it dissipates, then open your eyes. Burn the clover, basil, fennel, and lemon zest. Hold the geranium and lemon balm above it, then drop them in when the rest has burned. As the herbs burn one by one, focus on the scents and the flame's white point, performing the staring exercise. When all the herbs are burned, lay the lily-of-the-valley and chamomile in front of the candle. Chant this verse while burning it until it burns away. If it burns fully mid-chant, finish the chant before moving on. "No storm to rage, no demolishing fire. Peace is all that I desire. Not a windstorm or an earthquake to bring me down, my mind is clear and my spirit is sound. The rain may fall, but gently, pray, and a flickering flame holds through night and day. The earth may hold me, but not swing and shake, and the wind may blow, if nothing does break. No darkness creeping, no crawling beasts. Spirit and light hold calming peace. If they are attacked they may hold their ground, thus my mind is clear and my spirit is sound." Perform the candle exercise to clear your mind again, then the point of light exercise. Pick up the magnolia flowers, draw out your negative energy into them, then throw them outside the circle, being careful not to leave it yourself. Meditate on the candle for a few minutes, then cup your hands over it (don't burn yourself!) and imagine the positive, soothing energy streaming into your hands and around to your different chakras. Feel the energy coursing through you and calming you, and channel the energy. Eventually, the candle will snuff itself out. Chant a verse to finish- "My mind is clear and my spirit is sound. The earth, fire, air, water, they circle around. A soothing barrier to keep me clear, a barrier of light to keep me here. A spell I shall cast of energy and power, keep me calm and safe in these slipping hours." Disregard the last part of the verse if you aren't preparing for a spell. If you are- Bury the candle after you perform the spell you calmed yourself for. Any more candles for that spell specifically may be disposed of however the spell tells you. Calming and Meditation Meditate on the candle by focusing as hard as you can without straining in order to clear your mind of any thoughts but the candle. If you strain, you stress yourself and break the calm. Pull positive energy from the candle, slowly loosening your focus. When the focus drops, your mind will be clear. This will probably take fifteen minutes or more to get the full effect. Repeat as necessary. Magic spells for everyone, anytime, any occasion.
