Banish a Headache
To rid yourself of a headache, whether it be in the nape or the
face you can ask a humble tuber to take the pain for itself.
The kindest tuber is a young potato with skin intact. Hold it in
your hand and use your energy to connect to it. Ask it if it can
help you by taking the pain and discomfort from you, in return
you will not cook it or eat it but return it to the earth. If it
begins to warm quickly in your palm it is an indication in the
affirmative. If it remains cold, ask another potato, until you find
one that warms to the request. The best potatoes are golden in
color and can be rubbed lightly with 1 drop of Lavender Oil.
Once you have a potato to work with you heat it in boiling water,
but only for a minute or two. (Remember you must not cook it.)
You can use a kitchen lightbox (Microwave) for 20 seconds. Wrap
it in a napkin so it cannot burn you and then place it on the area
that hurts most. It is good to put it on the brow, the bridge of
the nose, or in the orbit bone by the eye for sinus headache. Put
it in the nape and then move to the shoulder and by the blade.
Listen carefully to be guided by the potato or any energy from
spirit or deity that you have cited in your request.
Once the pain dispels put the potato over your heart until after
sunset. Then you should thank it and bury it in earth.

Throwing Troubles to the Wind Spell
Use the freeing powers of air to remove any obstacles in your path.
You only need three things for this spell:
❖ a banishing herb
❖ a windy spot
❖ a real desire to banish the obstacle.
Gather a herb that represents what you want to banish. (Garlic,
rosemary, vervain, and sandalwood will all work well.)
Next, find a quiet, private, and somewhat windy spot. Place a pile of
the herb in your cupped hands and say:
“This herb symbolizes all that blocks me. I throw it to the winds. Take
it far from me, with harm to none, so mote it be!”
Feel your own desire to banish your obstacle grow. Once the desire
becomes strong, throw the herb into the winds. Take a few deep
breaths and think of the blessings that will take the place of the block
you’ve banished.
When you are ready, turn and walk away - refreshed and ready to
start your new path.

Spell to Enhance Psychic Abilities
To a cup of just-brewed hot tea, add a teaspoon of sugar along with
a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon. These spices will enhance your
psychic awareness.
As you drink, chant: “Spiced tea, magick tea. Magick, magick, speak
to me.” Light some sandalwood incense, an orange candle to promote
psychic awareness, and a purple candle to open your mind to
messages.
Hold the tea to your nose and breathe. Open your senses. As you
breathe deeply, your hands may begin to tingle. Allow this energy
to continue to grow. Drink the tea, savoring its flavor and sensation
as it moves through your body. Feel its magical energies fill you.
When you are finished drinking, put your cup down and listen. When
the incense is done burning, breathe deeply. Extinguish the candles
and thank the spirits for their magic.
3
Money Bag Spell
Make a “money bag” by combining these things:
❖ a piece of silver (an old coin made of silver will do) or
some shredded pictures of paper money. (Authentick
promissory notes are available from the mint)
❖ some chamomile
❖ a piece of malachite
❖ a small green drawstring bag
You can make the bag yourself from hessian or burlap. Use a
bone needle or another dull point to fasten the bag with green
string or wool.
As you stitch it visualize the money coming to the bag and
say:
“With each stitch I ask for enough coin to give me comfort,
shelter and food. Let it be that coin comes by honest means
and harme to none.”
Carry this in your purse, bag or pocket so you will never be
without essentials or “pocket change.”

Banish Past Sorrows Spell
There are times when our past mistakes and fractured hopes
impinge on our present and make us feel low and depressed. This
occasional feeling keeps us from realizing our full joy and
happiness.
We often return again and again to the memories of broken
promises and our various disappointments. Instead of greeting each
new day as a moment of opportunity, our hearts remain stuck in
the past. It is possible to banish these sorrows.
Gather together paper, a quill pen, Doves Blood Ink and thin black
ribbon. After centering yourself, write your sorrows and broken
hopes on to the paper, using precise language. Roll the paper in a
tube and tie it with the ribbon, knotting it tightly.
Place the tied paper into a burning bowl. Light the paper and
chant:
“The ties of the past must vanish. With fire and knot I do banish.”
Chant until the paper and string are burned entirely to ash.
Gather the ashes and bury them in the earth.

Nightmare Dispelling
If you are plagued by nightmares, or have restless sleep or general
trouble sleeping, try this remedy.
Smudge the bedroom with white sage and burn rose incense.
You can use a modern diffuser with diluted rose oil in it a few
hours before you go to bed.
Just before bedtime, place fresh roses (the more aromatic the
better) around your bedroom. If you have dried rose petals from
flowers given to you with love, you can fill a glass jar one petal at
a time.
Say the following words before retiring: “Nightmares begone,
Restful sleep come to me. Roses beautiful, roses true. Guard my
rest. Bring me peace.” Place a small to medium sized piece of
Green Jade, Chrysoprase, or Amethyst under your pillow.
If you have used fresh roses, keep them in the room until they
start to wilt, then remove them promptly. Do this spell at least
once a month or whenever nightmares return.

Spell to Find Love
Purpose of spell: to bring a lover into your life. You should not be
fixed upon a name or person in particular. For free will and fate
are not to be reckoned with.
What you need:
❖ a red candle
❖ your favorite essential oil (Rose is good for this)
❖ An ink pen of feather
❖ a piece of parchment
Take the red candle and anoint it with the essential oil. Write a
list of the qualities that you want in a lover and companion. Fold
the list carefully. Light the candle and speak this charm three
times:
“With these words this spell I sow. Bring the love I’ve yet to
know. Fill my heart and set it a-glow, secrets only witches know. I
take the power and let it go. As I will, it shall be so!”
Burn the spell paper and wait for you love to come to you.

House Cleansing
Whether your home is a new apartment or a new house, you should clean it
not just with soap and water, but also in a spiritual way. To start, smudge the
home. Purpose: to clear your home of negative energy.
Then to ground and clear the home, use a mix of pine needles, mint leaves,
blacksalt, crushed cedar shavings, and lavender buds to sprinkle on the floors
and carpets. Leave this mixture in place to draw out negativity.
Next, open all the windows, put on some soothing music and begin the ritual
cleansing. What you need: some pure spring water, a small bowl, lavender
essential oil, rock and sea salts, your wand or athame, a bell, singing bowl or
windchimes and a pink candle.
Pour a little of the spring water into a small bowl. Add two drops of lavender
essential oil, one pinch of rock salt and one pinch of sea salt. Stir the
mixture with your wand or athame in a deosil (clockwise) direction. Go around
your home, again in a deosil direction, and sprinkle the cleansing mixture
around each room. As you go repeat this sentence:
“I cleanse this space and ask for protection and peace within.”
Take a stick of your favorite incense, light it and move it around the
perimeter of all doorways and windows, cleansing and sealing them with the
fragrant smoke. Make a third trip all around the house, this time with either
a bell, windchimes, or a singing bowl, cleansing each room with the power of
sound.
Your space is now clean, clear of clutter and magically cleansed. Finish off by
lighting the pink candle and relaxing quietly.

Find Your True Vocation Spell
A vocation is often thought of as just work. One’s true vocation
reveals the origins of the word – it is a “calling.” It calls to our
spirits, our hearts, and our passions.
A vocation may be where we earn our money, but it should also be
where we devote our waking moments and thoughts. True vocation
should really be both – work that absorbs us and makes us
passionate while giving us a living and paying our bills.
To find your true vocation, spend some time now thinking about
what excites you and what ignites your passions. Think about the
times in your life where every fiber of your being was alive with
excitement.
Fill a dark-colored bowl or pan with water. In a darkened room,
settle yourself into a meditative state. Swirl the water in the bowl
until it is moving in a deosil direction. Drop 3 drops of Dragons
Blood Ink into the water.
Hold it before your eyes and meditate on the movement of the
water. Allow the images to come to you and the messages to
speak to your heart.
