A little spell I created when I had a nasty head cold that wanted to linger... I used the water for tea and anointment.
Waking that's a great ritual, but why do all that when you are sick as it is. When one is ill you shouldn't be doing a lot of workings as it is since you can make yourself sicker by doing so. When you are sick your energy is down and you are more open to bad energies. People you all need to understand the craft is far more than casting spells. You want to practice this religon and then learn more about what the craft is about. Before one goes to their altar they should be trying to take care of things on the physical level as much as possible before takig it to the magickal level. Want to know a good working for the common cold? Get rest is number one and number two make a cup of green tea with honey and lemon and a small pinch of cayenne pepper. Works like a charm with me and the rest of my coven. Also burn a little sage in your room where you sleep to help keeep your spirit strong.
This was a spell I created after having the cold for a bit over a week. At the point when I created it and cast it, all that was left was the sinus crud. I'm not a newbie at life, and I understand what you're saying. I wouldn't recommend this for someone who is really sick as it does take energy that could be best spent giving to your white blood cells. Nothing beats good bed rest and yummy chicken noodle soup, but this little spell gave me the extra boost I desperately needed to get over that last hurtle of the cold.
I suppose in that regard it's more of an infusion spell than an actual full fledged ritual. Either way, it worked for me. Was all cleared up after two days of using the water for my tea.
