Love Spells~~


Love spells must be done when the moon is waxing and they should be done on a Friday at 8am, 3pm or 10pm. In a love spell you will not use your athame (in most cases) because it is an instrument of agression. You will be more inclined to use your chalice. Also, you should have flowers on your altar. Roses are good. Even though lilies are popular in the Spring, they are poisonous and represent death. They have no place on your altar of love. Summon the Goddess of the Moon, Habondia. She is earthy and represents coupling (among other things). Proceed with the spell you have chosen. More spells will be added soon.

The Planting Spell

You may use any type of bulb for this spell. Especially sweet are tulips, but any bulb-type plant will do.
Plant the bulb in a consecrated pot on the full moon. Name the plant with the name of your intended. Each morning when you water the plant say these words:
As this plant grows,
And the fair wind blows,
Her/His love bestow!
As above, so below.
Let her/his thoughts of love turn to me,
As I will, so mote it be!

The Dream Spell


This spell is to cause you to dream of the face of the man (or woman) you will spend your life with. You may or may not know this person currently. Do not be surprised if it is not the person you expected.

If your romantic notions happen to blossom in midsummer, you might consider the following:
On July 22, St. Magdalene's Eve, prepare a bath. In the water sprinkle lavender and rose petals and as in the Self-Blessing, you must envision yourself cleansing not only your body, but also your spirit. After you bathe, prepare for bed and say these words:
Mother of All, Habondia, look favorably upon my quest,
Bring to me a vision true, my lover's face at your behest.
After you have said the incantation, place a sachet under your pillow with lavender and hypericum (St. John's Wort). Before you go to sleep pour a small glass of wine and just as you do in the full moon rite, say these words:
To You Mother, I pour this libation(pour a few drops on the floor), and drink this toast. Drink the rest of the wine. Use your consecrated chalice or consecrate a new cup just for this purpose.
Lay your head down and dream of your true love--it may not be who you thought!
Money Drawing Spell

In addition to your white alter candle and quarter candles you will need a green candle for this rite. Do it on the night of the full moon just as you usually do. Gather into the circle articles made of silver (such as pentagrams and coins). Use St. John the Conqueror incense. Call upon the Lady and the Lords of the quarters and cast your circle just as you always do. As you light the green candle (after you've lit the others) say this:
Lady of Night Your praises I sing,
Into my hands gold and silver now bring.
Comfort and coins now come unto me
The Moon passes o'er and poverty flees!

Just before you close the circle drip a little green wax onto a penny and hold it up while the wax cools. Say this:
"Bring unto me that which is rightfully mine, oh Lady of the Night." Meditate on your magickal goal. Do not ask too much, though, or you will get less!

Binding Spell
A binding spell is a method of grasping the (negative) energy that is driving a person to cause harm and stopping it. By doing this spell you are putting up a block to halt the unhealthy energy. When performing a binding ritual the most important thing to remember is that you are not omniscient. You must control your impulses to do harm. It is important that you use the power behind the magicke to do only good. This is not easy. Be sure you are honest in your intentions. Aradia, Gaea, or Habondia will be the deities upon whom you will call. Whichever one you call, She will help you to control your own negative feelings if they become a problem. Never be afraid to ask Her to assist you or even to become one with you. The binding itself is fairly simple. You will use a poppet just as you did before in the section on familiars. Instead of filling the wax figure with your personal bits of hair, spittle, blood, etc., fill it with as many items from your enemy as you can muster. Even if you can only procure hair from their hairbrush it will be sufficient. These items (whichever you are able to get easily) will form a magickal link between you the object of the negativty. Then place a bit of earth (grave yard dirt if you can find it), rosemary, sage, a piece of smokey quartz & a piece of amethyst. Handwriting can be inclosed if you have nothing else. Photos can be used also. Keep only goodness in your own heart while performing this rite. You can render yourself endless pain and suffering if you use magicke to harm another. The phase of the moon is important but not essential. If the moon is waning remember, you are the child of the Goddess. She will not wish you harm. If you are being threatened by another, you will warrant Her special attention. If you can do the spell during the waxing moon, all the better. If not, then do not hesitate. During the ritual, name the doll with the person's name. Place the photo (if you have one) over the doll's head while producing a psychic link. Then you will proceed to wrap the doll with ribbon, tape, twine or whatever you have. Wrap the doll like a mummy. When you have finished, bury the doll and then complete the ritual. A person can also be bound using mental capabilities. Placing a sample of a person's handwriting & copper tightly in an old bell jar is a way of stopping malicious gossip. When the danger is over, burn the handwriting. If you have a garment belonging to the person, tie it into knots and bury the clothing where it cannot be found.
