Rid Yourself of Jealousy/Love Yourself More
(
Witchcraft Magazine,
June/July issue 2000, pg 67)
"The cause of jealousy is...low self-esteem - when you are not in touch with your own sense of
power and worthiness of love. If you have not learned to love and accept yourself (this
usually goes back to childhood) you tend to project love and approval onto people and
circumstances outside of you, where you will quite often read your own lack of self-acceptance
into outer circumstances or other people's actions toward you. To increase love and acceptance
of yourself and therefore increase your ability to experience lovefrom others, practice the following
spell."
Loving Cup Spell for Self-Love
Needed:
- Black Velvet or Cotton for the altar cloth
- New Black Candle
- Malachite Stone and Rose Quartz
- Roses and Lavendar flowers
- A Bowl
- Clear Water
- Rock Salt
- Loving Cup (chalice or special ceramic goblet)
- The following herbs are to be made into a drink:
You need equal parts of: mint, nettle,
lemon verbena, St. John's wort (Hypericum), lavendar flowers, rose water
- 10cm (4-inch) square of green velvet or silk
- Red thread or wool
- Essential Oils of Violet and Lotus
The Preparation:
Half fill the bowl with clear water, into which you add 3 good pinches of rock salt, stirring
clockwise (If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, stir anti-clockwise.).
Steep equal parts of the mint, nettle, lemon verbena, St. John's wort (Hypericum) and lavendar
flowers for 10 minutes. Then add a little rose water. Place the liquid into the Loving Cup.
Drape your altar in black velvet or cloth, then decorate it with roses and lavendar flowers, rose
quartz and malachite stone. Place the Loving Cup in the center, with the black candle behind it, unlit.
The Ritual:
Kneel or sit on the floow before your altar, with the bowl infront of you (preferably on the floor).
Place both hands on the sides of your bowl, close your eyes, and let yourself feel everything
associated with your jealousy.
Speak to yourself, out loud if possible, all of your feelings,
admitting the reasons for your behaviour as truthfully as you can.
Pour your heart out to the
Goddess of the cleansing salt oceans, feeling the emotions running into the bowl, dissolving
and purifying.
When you are quiet, take the bowl straight out to the garden (or the kitchen sink) and as you pour
out the water, see it going out, joining a river and emptying into the vast arms of the Mother Ocean.
Next, cast a simple circle and call the Elemental Powers of the four Quarters.
Light the black candle
and let it absorb and transform your dark feelings of regret and guilt.
Hold the rose quartz and
malachite up to the candle flame, watching their colors glow, feeling their power quicken and come
alive to your purpose.
Inhale the perfume of lavendar and rose, absorbing their powers of well
being.
Hold up the Loving Cup toward the candle flame, and see a new image of yourself reflected in
the liquid.
Visualise how you dress, look and act differently, see your relationships with
everybody, especially your partner and other women (or men if you're a guy), completely
transformed.
Sip the fragrant brew slowly and steadily, feeling yourself so full of love, acceptance and
compassion for yourself that is naturally overflows to other people. Leave a small amount of the
bre in the Cup in thanks to the great Goddess.
Take some of the rose petals and lavendar flowers from the altar, place them in the center of the
square of green cloth, and add to this six drops of the lotus oil and seven drops of the violet.
Hold one palm toward the candle flame, and one over the herb talisman, and chant -
"I drink down the Moon,
I drink up the Sun,
Vessel to Vessel,
The change has begun."
Repeat this until you feel the power can build no further, the finish with -
"I change the charge,
The Spell is Done!"
As you tie the cloth up with the red thread, pull in the power and bind it with three knots.
Let any
excess energy drain off into the earth, thank the Elemental Powers, the helping spirits of the
talisman, and the Goddess.
Then close the Circle.
The berb talisman can be put under your pillow or worn on your person.
It is recommended to recharge it with a version of the above ritual every full moon until you no
longer need it.
Blessed Be!

A Simple Spell of Protection
(Sent in by a member named Goth Weasel/Beth)
Look into the flames (or flame, if you are using a candle).
Visualize the fire bathing you with a glowing, protective light.
The fire creates a flaming, shimmering sphere around you,
protecting you from anything harmful.
Now say the following words:
"Craft the spell in the fire;
Craft it well; Weave it higher.
Weave it now of shining flame;
None shall come to hurt or maim.
None shall pass this fiery wall;
None shall pass No, none at all."
You can repeat this simple spell whenever you wish to, and you can
chant the words whenever you feel in need of protection.

Candle and Crystal Spell for Successful Study
(Sent to me by a man called Hummungus)
Needed:
- 2 yellow candles
- citrine quartz
- essential oil of Lemon
Preparation:
Anoint the two yellow candles with the lemon oil, and then light them.
Take the citrine quartz, and anoint it with lemon oil also.
The Spell:
Place the citrine quartz in front of the candles, so that the candlelight shines on it.
Chant the following:
"Charge the stone with candlelight
To fill my mind with wisdom bright
To keep my mind alert and clear,
So that no bane can interfere
With the process of my brain
So that what I read is knowledge gained
For my life to stay with me,
This is my will, so mote it be!"
Let the candles burn, so that they charge the citrine quartz will you study.
Keep the citrine quartz with you when you need to hand in papers,
take exams or study.
Note from me (Lady WolfRose) -
If you go to the library or elsewhere to do research for something,
take the citrine quartz with you, to help you find the relevant information.
Also, you can re-cast this spell on the full moon if you want to.

Magick Mirror Ritual
(
Witchcraft Magazine,
Book of Spells issue, pg 33)
In front of your bathroom mirror, every morning without fail,
light a red candle and concentrate on the flame for 30 seconds
or so before looking into your own eyes.
Tell yourself the following:
"You are beautiful and special. I love you.
You're perfect and can do anything you want."
Take a minute to visualise yourself feeling happy and fulfilled.
Afterwards, go to your room, or even stay in the bathroom if
you live alone, and burn some "success incense" - 3 parts wood aloe,
2 parts frankincense and one part nutmeg.
Continue to
visualise for another minute or so.
Leave the incense burning until it is finished.
