To conjure spirits

Waxing Moon or Full Moon: Waning or New Moon Two tall purple candles Two tall green candles A purple Amethyst Green Jade or Agate - in center of altar Sandalwood & Lavender Incense Sandalwood & Willow Bark Incense Spirit Candle Cast a triple circle. Conjuring of Spirits is always done in hours of darkness, not necessary to be midnight, but preferred. After you have performed your primary ritual, cast the incense into your burner, Place the Spirit Candle into the center of the altar and say: "Spirit of good will, I bid thee enter The Outer Circle. The Second Circle. The Inner Circle. I am protected by this Pentacle upon my breast. Which bears the name of (your Spirit Guide) I bid thee, Spirit, Reveal thy Earthly name! (turn slowly deosil as you speak) Repeat this conjuration three times. Perform a nine card Tarot Divination for the Spirit's name, unless the Spirit replies in some other manner. Ask: Have you a message for me? Perform A Tarot Divination or use the Witches' Bowl to ask questions. Spirit, is it true that....? Deal gently with the friendly Spirits and they will lead you to the Greater Mysteries. During your questioning, observe the Spirit Candle. If it wavers or rises and falls, or flickers unevenly, use the Tarot to see if the Spirit has a message. You may ask 3 questions, after that you must ask: May I seek further guidance? Ask only 3 more questions. Bid the Spirit depart, saying: (Name), Good Spirit, Thou hast diligently answered my questions and I do thank thee. I hereby give thee license to depart. Depart, thrice - blessed Spirit, and be thou willing to return when next I conjure thee. By the sound of this bell (Use your Witche's Bell), do I bid thee leave. Depart, Depart. Depart!

Four winds wishing spell

by Matthew Green The following spell courts the favor of the four winds or the energies of the compass points. For this spell you will need to ascertain where North, South, East and west are. The four winds were given magical names by the ancient Greeks - Boreas, Eureus, Notus and Zephyrus - it is these forces together with those of the elemental spirit of air, water, fire and earth, that are called upon in the spell to carry your wish to the four points of the universe. The spell is designed to be performed outside and you will require any one of the following powdered herbs: * bay, also known as bay laurel (for success and prestige wishes) * rosemary (for promotion and advancement wishes) * cinnamon (for power wishes) * vervain (verbena) (for general wishes) * cardamon (for love wishes) * peppermint (for prosperity wishes) Having chosen the appropriate herb hold it in your hands and visualize the achievement of your goal in fine detail. Hold the herb to your mouth and breathe upon it trying to force the wish through your breath into the very structure of the herb. When you are satisfied turn to the North and say: "King Boreas of the North Wind, by the power of earth, I call you to carry my wish to the Northern quarter, and by the power of the gnomes, I ask that you bring me success" Blow a quarter of the powdered herb from your palm in the directionof North. Turn to the East and say: "King Eureus of the East Wind, by the powers of air, I call you to carry my wish to the Eastern quarter, and by the power of the sylphs, I ask that you bring me success" Blow a quarter of the powdered herb from your palm in the direction of East. Turn to the South and say: "King Notus of the South Wind, by the powers of fire, I call you to carry my wish to the Southern quarter, and by the powers of the salamandres, I ask that you bring me success" Blow a quarter of the powdered herb from your palm in the direction of South. Turn to the West and say: "King Zephyrus of the West Wind, by the powers of water, I call you to carry my wish to the Western quarter, and by the powers of the undines, I ask that you bring me success" Blow a quarter of the powdered herb from your palm in the direction of West. The spell is ended. leave the area without looking back, safe in the knowledge that the powers of the universe have taken over your wish.
