Wings

Place the tarot card in the middle of a square of the four lit candles. If you have a feather, hold it. Light incense or spray a spray. Now you may begin the spell. Say nine times:

"Great stars of life,
Free me of strife
Give me my flight
Hide it from sight
Give me each plume
Protected from doom
Break from my shell
With wings I rebel
Give me the speed
To fly as I need
Give me the strength
To travel at length
Give me agility
And flexibility
Balance unfailing
Feathers atrailing
Give me the senses
For flight intense
Give me healing
To protect the feeling
Give me a size
Even and wise
My wings fly proud
Over the clouds
And hide from sight
Like shadows at night
Dusk to dawn
I fly strong
My wings that fly
I soar through the sky
With
Wings of light
Wings of flight
Wings of sky
Wings on high
Wings of youth
Wings of truth
Wings spread wide
Wings that hide
Wings of sea
Wings on me
Wings of moon
Wings soon
Wings of sun
Wings of fun
Wings of stars
Wings fly far
Wings of earth
Wings' rebirth
Wings of fire
Wings of ire
Wings of air
Wings appear
Wings of water
Wings that flutter
Wings of speed
Wings I need
Wings of birds
Wings of words
Wings, wings, all I've ever needed
My desire permeates and my requests are heeded."

After repeating the above nine times, yell this as loud as you are able:

"Now by the wind
Their growth begins!"

Now take a minute to imagine your wings as vividly as possible. Imagine them growing, and feel them grow. Once you finish visualizing (maybe meditate on wings for a little), then blow out or snuff the candles. If you lit incense, put it out.

When your wings are growing, exercise them every day. You will know how to cloak your wings, and when cloaked they are completely invisible and intangible. This has the side effect of making you unable to fly as your wings will pass through the air, but when you have your wings uncloaked they will automatically be large enough to fly with. Your wings will automatically waterproof themselves with oil or powder down, and it is a good idea to cloak them when directly in water.

When your wings begin developing, your body will change a bit. You'll lose a lot of weight, and become less sensitive to heat, cold and pain. You will get lighter bones and be lighter overall. Your teeth and nails will become sharper, especially for those with bird of prey wings. Your muscles will be a bit bigger, but not very big, although your strength will greatly increase. You will also be a lot healthier and heal faster. Your organs will change to facilitate flight, and you may notice your breathing patterns changing. You may even develop a third eyelid. You will be able to handle high speeds and g forces better than humans. Your bones will be far lighter, but also stronger, and you will be incredibly agile and fast. Your back and stomach muscles will develop a lot to let you fly. Some of your features will be a bit more obvious than others, and cannot be hidden by cloaking, but your blood will still read human. X rays will also not be able to tell your bones have changed. But be a bit careful if they need to operate. Wing growth is an amazing thing, and this spell makes it far easier to live with wings. But you must still be careful.

When flying, make sure to take off from a place where nobody will see you. Get high fast, so maybe your silhouette can be mistaken for a bird. It's best to fly in unpopulated areas, or if all else fails places where nobody will see you. When flying, be careful never to pass a high window, or fly too close to a place someone may see you. Be careful with your wings. You only have one pair and one life, so protect both. You will have urges to fly. Satisfy them by doing high-up activities, like rock climbing or jumping off cliffs into the sea, or just go out to somewhere unpopulated (maybe part of a national park, or out in some farmland) and take off, circle around a bit then come down. Do exercises every day like flapping your wings and imitating takeoff, and try to find places to practice takeoff and landing.

When becoming an avian, two of the first things to come in are flying, taking off and landing instincts and urges, nesting urges, and more of a connection to magick, which means you benefit more from stones. Indulge your instincts by mimicking flight and jumping off things, starting small and working up to trees or off high places into the ocean or another safe landing. You will then start getting very hungry. Eat lots of healthy food to fuel your growth. Spell-grown wings grow faster than shifting-grown or subliminal-grown wings, but they still need to grow on their own
