August 1st marks the pagan holiday of Lughnasadh, or as more recently called Lammas. This is a celebration of the harvest season beginning. It is a great time to look at what you are going to be harvesting, what is growing and thriving, and what might need more of your attention before the cold part of the year arrives. This is both literally and metaphorically.

For this spell you will need:
*Journal
*Bowl of Fruits
*Glass Encased Candle
*Blessing Oil

Set up your altar with all of the items above. Light the candle and perhaps play some music. Sit down and write out what you are getting ready to harvest. What is coming into fruition in your life? Where are the places that need more tending? Where do you need to focus your energy now? Write these things down and make a list of the things that you are ready to harvest.

Speak each item out loud and then eat a piece of the fruit. Give yourself a moment to honor and celebrate the fruit of your harvest. Anoint yourself with the Blessing Oil.

This spell can be used when you are going out for a night on the town, going into a job interview, or basically any time you want to make sure you get some attention!

You will need the following items:
*Bewitching Oil
*Kosher Salt
*Favorite Cleansing Incense
*Glitter/MakeUp (this will not be placed on any skin that can't be hidden by clothes)

Take a shower or bath and use the Kosher Salt as a cleanse. As soon as you get out of the shower, before even drying off, use the incense to give yourself a nice smoke cleanse. Then start getting ready. Do whatever you need to do to feel your best and brightest self. Take your time and focus on radiating a glow that will call your most desired attention to you. Use the glitter, or make up, on your heart charka, the spot in the middle of your chest. Use the glitter to make a sigil, symbol, or just simply place a dot there as a way of calling focus to you. Finally, use the Bewitching Oil on your pulse points and lastly on that spot on your chest. Visualize yourself glowing and alluring. See yourself getting everything you desire. Head out!!

Summer Solstice is at the same time as the Feast of Saint John the Baptist. It is the longest day of the year, where we have the most amount of daylight. It is traditional (both for the Solstice and for Saint John's Feast) to celebrate this time of the year with a bonfire. This spell requires the use of a bonfire; so make sure you practice good fire safety!

Gather the following herbs and woods, wildcraft them if you can:
*Mugwort
*Apple
*Oak
*Chamomile
*Thyme

Create a fire with whatever wood is easiest for you. Add the woods and herbs from the list to the fire. Cleanse yourself in the smoke. Run any of your magickal tools through the smoke as well. Spend time around the fire and notice if there are any messages for you in the flames. When the fire goes out and the coals are completely cool, gather some of the ashes to use in your magick for the rest of the year. 

This is the spell that we offer in our Spring Wish Spell Kit. The Kit comes with all the ingredients that you need to perform the spell, but you can collect these items on your own.

For this spell you will need the following items:
*Seed Paper or Seeds
*Yellow Chime Candle
*Blessing Oil
*Small Quartz Crystal

Carve your name into the candle and then anoint the candle with the Blessing Oil. Place the candle in a candle holder in the center of your working space. Next anoint the seed paper (or seeds) and the quartz crystal with the Blessing Oil. Place the quartz crystal near the candle and hold the seed paper in your hands. 

Light the candle, and say this:
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish, I wish tonight
By the power of three-times-three
As I will it So Mote It Be!

Write your wish on the seed paper and speak your wish out loud. Let the candle burn to completion. If you feel called, continue to say the chant and/or visualize your wish coming to pass. When the candle has finished burning, place the quartz crystal in your pocket or purse. Take the seed paper and plant it. If you don’t have a yard, use a pot. You can also drop the seed paper in a wild place and let the plants grow where they land. As you plant the seed paper, repeat the chant and state your wish again.

This spell will help create and keep peaceful energies in your home or living space.

For this ritual you will need:
*10 of Cups Tarot Card (print one off or take one from a deck you don't care about because you won't be able to use it again)
*Lavender Essential Oil
*One Whole Lemon
*One Teaspoon of Sugar
*Ground Rose Petals

Dilute the essential oil with a carrier oil, like olive or grapeseed oil. Add in the ground roses and sugar. Anoint the 10 of Cups with the oil mixture. Find a place outside your front door where you can hide the card. You could tuck it into a potted plant, place it under a welcome mat, or hide it in some other way. 

Slice the lemon in half and use it to clear the doorway and entranceway. Make sure lemon won't cause any damage before doing this process. When complete, anoint the doorframe with the essential oil mixture. 

Refresh anytime it feels like the positive energy is starting to fade.

I like to use the energy of the Spring Equinox to do a nice thorough cleansing (and cleaning) of my home. This is a process of cleaning your space the old fashioned way and cleansing your space for the spiritual gunk that hides in the corners. It takes time and physical energy. Feel free to take a few days to complete this working or ask loved ones to help you complete the tasks.

For this working you will need:
*Household Cleaning Supplies
*Salt
*Cleansing Herb Mix
*Yellow Chime Candle (one for every room of your house)
*Favorite Cleansing Incense

Take the salt and pour it into a small bowl. Speak blessings over the salt and ask it to help cleanse your space of spiritual and physical residue. Put a pinch of salt into any cleaning products that you will be using.

Take the Cleansing Herb Mix and make a big pot of tea. While the tea is cooling start to clean your home. Back of the house to front of the house and top to bottom.

When you finish a room speak your prayer for clean and cleansed space and light the yellow chime candle. Make sure that it is in a fire proof container and safe to burn. Move to the next room and complete the process until you've cleaned every room of your home.

When the whole space has been cleaned from top to bottom; back to front take the Cleansing Herb Mix tea and use it to wash the floors. If you only have carpet, use this as a room spray. Finally, light the incense and offer a smoke cleanse to your entire space. When all the candles have burnt out take excess wax and through it out the back of your home.

Sometimes the hardest love to honor is the love of self. This spell is to help you reconnect to what makes you special and offer yourself a little love and blessing.

You will need:
*Roses or your favorite flowers
*Anointing oil
*Favorite incense
*Candles
*Mirror

Set up your ritual space with all the items listed and anything else that you feel called to include. Take some time to ground and center yourself. Cast a circle if you feel so called. Light the incense and the candles.

Smell the flowers and give yourself some time to remember the things in the world that are beautiful, awesome, or fill you with a sense of wonder.

When you feel ready take the anointing oil and anoint your feet with gratitude for how they carry you. Anoint your belly for the spark of life that you carry. Anoint your heart for love and connection. Anoint you throat for speaking sacred words. Anoint your third eye for seeing the truth. And finally, anoint the palms of your hands for connection.

When complete, look at yourself in the mirror and speak words of love to yourself. Say at least three things that you love about yourself to yourself.

When complete, thank your spirit allies. If you have cast a circle, open that energy back up. Write down anything important or interesting that may have come up for you during the spell.

To help you focus on one of your goals for the coming year, perform this spell.

You will need the following items:
*Small White Candle
*Success Oil
*Small Piece of Paper

Before performing this spell, make some time to ponder or meditate on what you want to manifest on the year ahead. When you have a clear vision of this goal, write it down on the piece of paper. Be as concise as possible. Fold the paper towards you, as if while you fold the paper you are calling this thing towards you. Anoint the candle with the Success Oil and light the candle. Place the piece of paper under the candle until it has finished burning. White the candle burns, feel, imagine, and visualize this goal falling into place. See your success. When the candle is done burning, take the paper outside and bury it in the earth.

The water that feeds a Rose of Jericho is powerful blessed water. It can be used to bring joy, happiness, and abundance into your life. 

For this spell you will need:
*Small bowl
*Water
*Rose of Jericho

Fill the bowl with water and place the Rose of Jericho in the bowl. Once the flower begins to blossom pour out the water and refresh it. Take the used water and pour it across your front doorstep, add it to you other spell workings, or mix it with an alcohol for longevity and use it as a good luck spray.

Sometimes there are obstacles that keep us from achieving our goals. The good news is magick, ritual, and spell work can help to break up those obstacles. A Road Opening spell can create a smooth path towards your goals. For this spell you will need the following items:
*Mixed Citrus Fruits (at least a dozen)
*Bathtub
*Orange Blossom Water
*Orange Glass Encased Candle
*Selenite Stone

Start by dressing and blessing your candle for Road Opening work. Use whatever you have on hand; herbs that are sharp and spicy are you best options. Light the candle and place it in the bathroom, near your tub. Fill your tub with warm water - not too hot. As the tub fills with water, cut all the fruit into slices. Add the fruit and the Orange Blossom Water into the tub.

Get in and scrub. Use the slices of citrus to rub on your skin.* As you do this process, visualize all the blocks clearing away, dissolving and melting; leaving your path open and smooth.

You will need to air dry after the bath. You may feel sticky, but dry completely and then shower off if needed. Allow the candle to burn completely. If you need to snuff it out that's no problem, simply relight it when you are able to pay attention to the candle. Place the selenite under your bed.

Obstacles be gone!
*If you are allergic to citrus do not perform this spell.
