These spells were written by Robin Skelton, who is a poet, critic and essayist. I found them very interesting. If you practice Wicca, please try them out. I'd be happy to hear about any results.
Blessing upon a Task
Blessings on particular tasks and projects ahve always been important. The plough is blessed, as is the first furrow it makes. The first sheaf of corn to be reaped is blessed before the work is permitted to continue. A general blessing that can be used for any task is following:
Blessing upon the hands,
blessings upon the mind,
blessings upon the skill
in her, through her
this blessing.
Self-blessing for Confidence
While it is a rule in spellcraft that spells must be not made for selfish reasons, there is no rule against self-blessing or in making spells to bolster self-confidence when facing a particular task or even, simply, the day ahead. The following spell should be said at the beginning of the day and fasting, while envisioning clearly the events, places and people that are to be encountered. If an intervew, stage performance, recital or business meeting is ahead, the spell should be repeated silently before the event. It shouldb e recited until there is a strong sense of inward strength and confidence. Three times is the usual number required.
Is this country
I am the sun;
life lifts to my gaze,
my touch, my word;
the people are held
in the grasp of my hand;
the people are bound
to the sound of my voice;
the people are rapt
by the light of my eye;
this country is mine;
this day I rule.
If this spell is intended to improve a particular occasion such as a meeting or interview, the word "day" may be changed to "hour" which does not, of course, indicate an hour by the clock but a limited period of time.
Spell with a Love Gift
Spells are messages. Some love-spells are messages in the form of commands, some are binding spells, and some are seeking spells. Others, however, do not seek to command the person loved or desired but to work by means of persuation. The spell does not command the person; an intermediary object or talisman does the work, in the form of a gift which has been energized by the will of the spell-caster. If you wish to affect a loveed one by the will of the spell-caster. If you wish to affect a loved one by these means, select an object which he or she will wear next tot he skin or one that may be drunk or eaten, or that perfumes the air. Perfume and highly scented flowers, especially roses, are traditional love-gifts. Place the gift on your spell table and say:
I am within you;
in your every part
you hold my name of power
my hidden name,
and speak it to her,
calling her to me
in deepest true affection
and in love.
This shoud be said three times. The gift shoudl then immediately be wrapped in tissue paper of one color, not multicolored. The color should be one you feel to be expressive of your affection or your ardour. Red, for ardent passion, would usually be appropriate, but green might also be stisfactory, as being the clor of springitme and of Venus. The gift should then be placed in a box, and the box shoud be tied up with cord or wool of the same color as the tissue paper. It should be delivered personally, hand to hand, or(if this is not feasible) by personal messenger, so that it does not suffer from contact with too many other hands or from the energy fields of postal machinery.
