* A red candle
* Something to carve it with, like a butter
knife or needle.
* Your favorite annointing oil. I like
frankincense oil. Or myrrh.
* Your favorite "luck herb". I use
frankincense. You can also use rosemary,
thyme, spearmint, nutmeg...
* A pot of boiling water (keep it in
the kitchen, don't put it on your
altar)
* A special piece of jewelry, a charm,
or a figurine of some sort.
* A small bag to put the charm in.
Something you can easily carry in a
pocket or purse...
STEP 1: Setup a basic altar. Decorate
it with anything representing Samhain
or Halloween. Get creative... the more
fun you have with this, the better the
spell will work.
STEP 2: Carve the red candle with your
name, and deepest desire. Also carve
a symbol in the candle representing
an area of your life you wish to
improve.
Example: a dollar sign for wealth, a
heart for love... a happy face for
general happiness.
STEP 3: Annoint your candle with the
oil.
STEP 4: Walk with your candle,
charm bag, and herb to the kitchen where
the water is boiling.
STEP 5: Set the candle near the pot,
and light it.
STEP 6: Sprinkle a small handful of
the herb into the water. Let the
steam rise.
STEP 7: Pass your charm bag alternately
through the steam and the candle smoke.
Spend 5 minutes doing this.
STEP 8: As you pass the charm bag, imagine
what life would be like if the specific
area of your life was exactly how you
wish it to be. How would you feel?
STEP 9: Sleep with the charm bag under
your pillow, and allow yourself to dream.
--------------------
Keep this charm bag by your bed all through
this month... and each time we do a spell
or ritual this October, have it with you.
Not only will luck begin to flow into
your specified area of life... but this charm
will tap into Magick energy from the beyond,
only possible this time of year.
It's a wonderful time of year... drink up
every last drop of Magick you can.
There's enough to last a lifetime here...
