Love Spell



I wrote this for a friend of mine, who has cleared the old stuff from the past. She kept looking for an old loves. By working through the old lessons with them, she was finally able to release them and move on. She is now able to not only want new beginnings, but she will also be able to see and accept them.

This ritual is to open your heart and eyes to love.

You will need a white or pink candle of any size. The rules of this are very flexible. Light the candle and say:

With this candle I light the way
for true love to find me without delay.
Let this flame be a be a beacon both day and night
giving Cupid's arrow extra might.
Be he far or be he near,
Bring my love quickly here.

If your heart says to let it burn out, then do it. However, if it says to put it out after the spell and relight it another time, do that. The key is to follow your heart's desire.

The second part is not magical, but is equally as important. You need to start participating in life for the simple pleasure of being alive. Do what you love with people you enjoy. Doing so will reignite you inner glow, which will act as a beacon for love to find you.

They key is not to search, but make yourself available for love to find you. Do what makes you smile from the inside out; the rest will follow.

Ostara: Free Wiccan/Pagan Ritual




Ostara Ritual

Whether you call the celebration Ostara, Passover, Easter or one of the many other names it is known by, the spring Equinox is a time of renewal and fresh beginnings. Based on the harvest season, Ostara is the time for Wiccans and Pagans to bless the field and the seeds. Although most no longer so closely to the land, it is still a time for planting seeds for the future.

This ritual is designed to help you attract you needs, desires or goals. Remember that no matter how much you desire something or someone, free will is still the highest law; to infringe upon another is to create a negative backlash for yourself.

What you will need:
A black two hour candle
A white two hour candle

Say:
On this day of equal dark and light
I call upon the earthly might.
With the help of the Goddesses and Gods of old
So I ask that a new future may unfold.

(Light the black candle)

I gratefully release the (poverty, loneliness, illness, etc) need
And ask that it leave with grace and speed.

(Light the white candle)

As I light this candle of pure hope and love
So I ask for blessings from above.
Opening my life to (prosperity, love, healing, etc) starting today
Ask that it arrive with out delay.
With gratitude and love from my from my soul and heart
So now a new future I do chart.
The worn path that I have always taken
I now gratefully forsaken.
With faith and trust, I change my course
And do so without remorse.
Within the dreams of this night,
So am I shown the path which is right.
As my eyes are opened to the new way,
I claim (prosperity, love, healing etc) on this day.

Let both candles burn out and release the need to control way what you ask for arrives. The key is to remember to you will receive what you expect. The Divine provides us with whatever we have the courage to ask for and are open enough to receive.

Tarot Energy Reading Week March 15-21, 2009


Tarot Energy Reading for the Week of March 15-21 2009


The messages surrounding us are designed to create fear and doubt; the sole purpose is to make us forget our purpose for being here at this time and this place. There were no accidents. There were no mistakes. Everyone is here for a reason. That reason is to create the change needed to for the ascension process to be completed. When we doubt what we know about ourselves and the world around us, we give away our power to those who are more than willing to use it for their own agendas. The key phases this week will be self awareness and acceptance; it is time to have faith in ourselves by taking back our power. So many of us have been caught up in the rapid acceleration of the cleansing and clearing process that we have lost sight of who we truly are on a soul level. We have forgotten what it means to be us. Now is the time of remembering and reclaiming our true selves.

The energy will bring from the past is the Queen of Swords. A karmic shift has taken place and a new energy has entered our world. Being both old and new at the same time is has stabilized the basic foundation of both the physical and spiritual realms. In many ways justice has already been enforced; however, the fall out will continue for several more weeks. No matter what the situation develops in each of our lives, the question that must be asked first is--who benefits? When that question is answered the path ahead will become clear.

The energy of this week is represented by the eight of swords. This week will be marked with confusion and indecision as the physical and spiritual realms become in conflict. Many of us will be asking what is reality? Those who have the courage to ask and expect to be given a straight answer will find what they seek. Those who give into the fear and self doubt will find themselves in a maze without a clue of how to find the exit.

The eight of wands is the energy that will come out of this week. It is a rapid and seemingly uncontrollable advancement. Seemingly so because it will take a higher perspective to understand what is happening. Later in 20/20 hind sight, the reasons will be very clear. But now as we move through the process, life will be as clear as mud. By understanding and allowing the situations to unfold as they need to will allow the water to settle, which will bring about the needed clarity.

The challenge we will all be working with is the Knight of Wands. New ideas and possibilities will be offered as the loose ends are tied up. As the old is cleared away, room is been made for new adventures and challenges to be brought into our lives. As the light and dark is balance on the Equinox so will we be given the opportunity to create balanced in our lives physically, emotionally and spiritually. Old questions will be answered only to give way to new questions.

Ostara--First Day of Spring

Ostara--approximately March 21

Ostara takes place on the Spring Equinox and is the second spring festival. It is a celebration of rebirth, renewal and fertility as the Mother Goddess has returned to her maiden status and reunites with the young God; together they plant the seeds of the coming year in her womb. Although this festival doesn't have a strong historical connection, it is traditionally the time the ground is prepared and the early, harder crops are planted. In modern times is a time when projects are organized and set into motion.
As a time of balance of not only day and night, but of the masculine and feminine energy, it is a time for new beginnings or revitalizing old projects. Many prosperity rituals are performed on this day as a way of connecting personal success to the fertility of the seasons. As the days grow longer and the crops grow to eventually bear fruit, so shall the person be blessed with their needs and wants being granted.
Celebrations include lighting fires, ringing bells and decorating hard-boiled eggs. The eggs represent the Goddess of Fertility. The whites represent the feminine, while the yoke represents the masculine. Eggs were gathered to be used as talismans or ritually eaten as a fertility blessing. This day is also special to the Goddess Eostre; her patron animal was the hare. The hare and rabbit's represent fertility and prosperity.
Using many of the traditional pagans symbols and traditions, Christians created Easter. Although there are several differences in the traditions, the primary focus is on rebirth and growth.
