February: Snow Moon Purification Spell

~ Astrological Moon Placements for February 28 2010: Moon in Virgo; Sun in Pisces (Change Herbal Correspondences based on moon/sun positions)



February is the time of loving the self, accepting responsibility for past errors, forgiving yourself
and making future plans. All this Time Spring Energy is bubbling just beneath the surface. A perfect time for Purification, growth and healing.

~Supplies~
-Garlic (for Virgo/Earth)
-Thyme (for Pieces/Water)
-Full Moon Candle



With all the snow on the ground in most places in the northern hemisphere we find ourselves surrounded by the cleansing color of white. The Snow Moon is aptly named because in the Northern Hemisphere February is when the last bouts of natures winter pour out. Thing of it like this: Nature is letting out all her negativity repairing for rebirth in the spring. (Which is what we asked her to do during Imbolc!)

Coming to this realization gives us the chance to do the same.

Gather up all the supplies, chop the Garlic and Thyme (or appropriate Herbs) and spread around the base of the Full Moon Candle. Prepare for Spell Work.

Ground, Center, Connect,
Cast a Circle, and Call the Elements

X Remember X

You may perform this as part of an Esbat Ritual or separately if desired.

Invoke the goddess as Follows

"Lady Mother, I harken you near
Once more, your loving pressence draw here
Snow Moon Above, and I below
I Invite you in my circle, to grow!"

Once established, you may want to sit and meditate while visualizing the Goddess Energy grow and run threw your circle yourself. Open up, and allow the healing to take place. Light the Moon Candle if you haven't already and allow it's energy to pull on the energy of the herbs creating a single energy. Then, allow that energy to flow to you, while saying:

" By all the power of thee snow moon
all for release and healing of my wombs
To melt my so, so I may grow
whilst spring near, and the Sun follow

I know the sun will shine again,
with warmth of love that will begin
to heal the scars of my heart
as winter now does depart

Full Snow Moon thou Shines above
All for the flowing of perfect love
to reinstate my trust in me
and by the goddess, blessed be."



Allow for the candle to burn down to the next notch. You may want to save the herbs for similar spell later on. =]

Thank the Elements, Open Circle, Ground and Center.


Blessed Be,

Mondays Blesings

Monday is ruled by the Moon. Monday is the day primary to Female energy. Use some of the energy to promote Balance and Healing. And who doesn't wake up Monday morning feeling we could use some of that? White and Silver candles can be used to invoke the Moons Power.


"Moon above, and I below,
I invoke your healing Flow
comfort me and bring relief,
so I may be free from grief.

Promote your balance,
and summon up my Talents
to last all week long,
So I may feel like I belong.

My week has now start
so fill this witches heart
with love and good thought-
from you, this I wrought"

Blessed Be,
Faewynn

Sundys Blessings

Sunday is ruled by the Sun (imagine that). Use the Masculine energy of Fire to empower and energize yourself. Light Orange, Yellow, and/or Gold candles to bring the suns energy into your home.

"Fire burning, Sun so bright,
Bring your glory into my life!
Fill within me, Your Golden Success
For I know I am the best!

Spark in me, Creative Light
Fuel desire I know is right.
Empower myself to make it so
and give me strength to simply know!

Fire burning, Sun So bright,
bring your glory into my life
By all the power of Three Times Three
as I will, So mote it be!"


Regular Exercise, and a healthy Diet will also be a fantastic way to maintain energy!

Blessed be,
Faewynn

Saturday's Blessings

Saturday is ruled by Saturn ans is a good day to work magick of Self-Responsibility and Self-Control. Since sometimes we allow for our weekends to be more about relaxing we tend to forget some of our responsibilities. So, we're going to do an affirmation to help us remind us that even though it's the weekend, we still are in control!You may want to light Dark Blue Candles and light Myrrh incense while saying this Affirmation.


"Saturn, O' Ruler of Discipline and Self
Bring unto your magickal Wealth
Aliven my Soul
awaken Self-Control
As I rest from my week
this abundance I know seek
Don't let me forget Responsibility,
As I will, So shall this be."

If you have the habit of forgetting that you're suppose to do things, try also writing them down in a notebook.

Blessed Be,
Faewynn

Friday Blessings

~Friday's Blessings~

Friday is a good day for expression of Love, beauty and happiness. It's ruling deity is the Goddess of Love Venus. If you would like, you may like to light Pink Pastel candles and invite her presence into you home. You can use the following spell as a Friday Blessing and Affirmation.


"Goddess of Love,
Friday has come!
The weekend is here
I draw your presence near!!

Your beauty is within,
but also without!
All Forms of love
Is what you're about

I face this day with
my own beauty and grace
and honor you this way
with a smile on my face!"

For an extra nice touch, you may buy fresh pastel color flowers on this day to decorate your house, but also buy a bundle for Venus and either leave them on your altar or throw them into the nearest source of running water that goes to a lake or ocean!

Blessed Be

A Cleanseing Shower Ritual

A Cleansing Shower Ritual

For this spell you will need Shampoo with Rosemary and Mint. Currently suave makes a fantastic shampoo with such, however if you can not find it you can use plain shampoo and grind up the herb and add it yourself.

Also you will be using your bathroom as a sacred space so make sure it is clean and tidy.

Ground, center, and prepare for spell work in your normal fashion except methods that will be interfered by washing (i.e anointing with oils) You may also use this as a Pre-Normal Spell work also. Most sources recommend Ritual Baths but, sometimes, baths may not be an option.

~Best Times to Perform~
Waning Moon
Or Prior Spellwork

~Supplies~
Rosemary & Mint Shampoo/Body wash
A Razor to shave
Facewash
Toothbrush and Toothpaste
and a brand new white votive candle


Make sure you choose a time where you won't be interrupted, and use a fresh towel for this as well.

Start off by casting a circle, and calling the elements. Light a white candle and place it towards the north.

Stand in front of it raise your arms and Invoke the Goddess as follows:

"Mother goddess please come to this place
fill this room with your loving grace
this child of yours now calls you near
of this I pray you do hear
I invoke your Divine powers within and
through out me,
If you do so will, than so shall it be!"

Once that has been established you may want to sit and meditate with her for a while. Ask for renewal and her aid in your cleansing.

If you haven't done so, get undress and then put yourself where you can turn on the the water while still staying dry (if possible) while you're turning on the water and getting it to the proper temperature say the following while envisioning the water coming from the faucet sparkling:

"O, healing water I call you here
of all your magick I do hold dear!
Cleanse my spirit and cleanse this place
renew my body and renew my face
return into me,
all that is purity,
and in your light, return all that is right!

All earth and air and fire see
As I will so shall it be!
Healing waters come to me!"

Now step into the water and feel its revitalizeing warmth spread over your body. You can clean in any way you wish, but here are a few charms to say while you clean certain parts. Say each charm repeatedly until the washing of that area is complete

~Hair and Body~
"As the Scent, of rosemary and mint
fills the air it wafts away all my cares
freeing my mind for better things,
removing the bad as good it brings"

~Shaving~
As I shave the bad goes down the drain
as water falls like pouring rain
I remove all stubble from my life
and make it smooth, without strife"

~Face~
"I cleanse away all the grease and gook
as I was now every nook
I clean the slate from which I look
to never judge a cover of a book"

~Teeth~
"All foul speech and lies go out
as now I move onto my mouth
to speak the truth and trust myself
and clean my teeth for better health"

NOTE! You can do your face and teeth out of the shower if you choose

Once you've been cleaned and the shower is off stand facing the north and say the closing incantation:

"This spell is now done,
Im clean and brand new
Refreshed and Revived
I know this is true.

I thank all the spirits
I know now have helped
For as I am renewed
so shall you be too!

As is above, so be below
in perfect love you may now go
In all that is harmony
so mote it be!"

Blow out the candle.

~Open the Circle, ground, center again.

Blessed be,
Breathless Moon

Cleanseing Consecrateing and Empowering

There are many ways to CCE an object. Some of the easiest and simplest methods don't require any spell work at all. Depending on the purpose of your desired empowerment (i.e protection, love, fertility, ect.) you may simply leave the object you are CCE in the Full, or Dark moon, or even out for an entire moon phase if that is an option. Take for example empowering something for the enhancement of psychic abilities. You may want to simply leave the object out during the entire waxing moon phase (from dark to full) Or take it out everynight at moonrise during that time, which ever is the most safe and easiest for you. In some cases, like for protection, you may want to take or leave the object in the moon in a bowl of salt, or in a ring of stones during the duration of the Full Moon (approx 3 days). Let's say you want to empower something for darker aspect magick, such as banishing negativity, Leave the object out during the dark moon. You get the point.


Types of Empowerment
Light Aspect Empowerment: These types of Empowerment are used to Help and heal yourselves and those around you Typically cast during the Waxing to Full Moon.
~ Love ~Harmony ~Fortune ~Joy ~ Peace ~Healing ~Luck
~Protection ~Fertility ~Courage

Dark Aspect Empowerment: This types of empowerment are used to block or repel dark or negative energies.
~"Return-Energy-To-Sender" ~Deflection (diffuse malevolence and ill will) ~Retribution (return energy to sender and seal it there)
~Purging(the complete cleansing of a person/place) ~Banishing (repelling energy)


If you find that you may need an extra kick of magickal assistance then try this simple CCE spell.

Before all spell work, ground, center, and connect to the Divine, and Cast a Circle. Try to use visualization during spell work and to keep your mind focused only on what you're doing. For any information on Grounding, Centering, Connecting or Casting a Circle you can email me. Chances are I will post how to do all of the above at a later date then this current one.

Supplies
All four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water)
If available try using Holy Water (you can email me at "Faekieran@yahoo.com" for a Holy water spell)

Best Times to Perform
As stated earlier, try to perform even this spell during the proper moon phase for the empowerment you desire. I will post a list of appropriate Moon Spell Correspondence's eventually. If not you can always email me at the aforementioned address if you have any doubts about when to perform for specific Empowerment.
