Herbal Charm - House Blessing

Creating offerings to the Guardians that dwell in our houses are a great way to ensure our homes are blessed. Mix contents and pour into a muslin bag and hang in a central location in your home.
Ingrediants:
- Lavender
- Rose Buds
- Sandlewood oil
- Cedar ships
- Orris root (ground)

The herbs in this House Blessing mixture focus on energies of:
Harmony & Balance - lavender (peace), rose (compassion) & sandalwood (fidelity)
Protection - orris
Prosperity - cedar

Add a crystal to the mixture to enhance the energies, since I run a business out of my house I added a Tiger Eye the mix of herbs.

Beautiful scent, enjoy!

Aquamarine - The Hanged Man



Look at the other side of the coin today.
Whether you have been at a standstill, or you've recently made a forced break, a new strength is growing inside of you as you grasp a new awarenss. However, yes things aren't always as clear-cut as we'd like them to be... Certain truths are hidden in their opposites, we 'control' by letting go, we 'win' by surrendering.

The best approach to soving a problem is not always the most obvious one, when we most want to force our will on someone - that is the time to surrender, when we most want to have our own way - that is the time we should sacrifice, when we most want to act - that is the time to wait.

By making these contradictory moves we will find what we are looking for.

Watch for these traps today:
- boredom
- pre-mature reactions
- over-estimating your capabilities

Wiccan Rede - The Counsel of the Wise Ones

The Wiccan Rede is a counsel which sums up the ethics Wicca.

Bide the Wiccan Laws ye must In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust.
Live an' let live - Fairly take an' fairly give.

Cast the Circle thrice about To keep all evil spirits out.
To bind the spell every time - Let the spell be spake in rhyme.

Soft of eye an' light of touch - Speak little, listen much.

Deosil go by the waxing Moon - Sing and dance the Wiccan rune.
Widdershins go when the Moon doth wane, An' the Werewolf howls by the dread Wolfsbane.
When the Lady's Moon is new, Kiss thy hand to Her times two.
When the Moon rides at Her peak Then your heart's desire seek.

Heed the Northwind's mighty gale - Lock the door and drop the sail.
When the wind comes from the South, Love will kiss thee on the mouth.
When the wind blows from the East, Expect the new and set the feast.
When the West wind blows o'er thee, Departed spirits restless be.

Nine woods in the Cauldron go - Burn them quick an' burn them slow.
Elder be ye Lady's tree - Burn it not or cursed ye'll be.

When the Wheel begins to turn - Let the Beltane fires burn.
When the Wheel has turned a Yule, Light the Log an' let Pan rule.

Heed ye flower bush an' tree - By the Lady Blessed Be.
Where the rippling waters go Cast a stone an' truth ye'll know.

When ye have need, Hearken not to others greed.
With the fool no season spend, Or be counted as his friend.

Merry meet an' merry part - Bright the cheeks an' warm the heart.
Mind the Threefold Law ye should - Three times bad an' three times good.

When misfortune is enow, Wear the Blue Star on thy brow.
True in love ever be Unless thy lover's false to thee.

Eight words ye Wiccan Rede fulfill
- An' it harm none, Do what ye will.

- by Lady Gwen Thompson

Crystal Charm Bag - Fertility


This has become a very popular Crystal Charm Bag that I've been creating for people lately. More fertility magic spells at the end of post.



There are three elements you need to exercise to summon the powerful magic within yourself - Affirmation, Visualization and Spiritual Petition.

This charm bag provides you with the necessary tools to meditate on.

A Spiritual Petition to the Goddess will help you open your mind and soul to the power and wisdom of our ancient ancestors, and invoke their guiding hands in your magic.

The Crystals are considered magical as they naturally radiate various fertility and healing properties, I have charged additional working energies into each crystal to begin visualization exercises.

Bind Runes are made up of combinations of two or more rune-staves (rune word), bind-runes expand and further refine the power and aim of runic formulas. Ingwaz Bercano – The Fertility & Creativity Bind Rune, is readyto be carried in your purse, put under your pillow or hold it in your hand to help you focus in your visualizations.

The Affirmations will help you focus on positive creative visualizations. This is the core of magic. Almost anyone can do the research and put together a set of magical tools/spells. It is only a few who are willing to surround themselves with blessed white light and creatively visualize what they want in their life, call upon the power of the Elements and Ancestors, and actually wield magic in their own behalf.

Visualizations - Fertility

Close your eyes, breathe out three times and imagine walking into a beautiful garden. There you find a tree and a stream of flowing water. Bathe in the water, allowing it to enter and clean all ova, or eggs. Then sit under the tree and enjoy the sunshine and blue sky reflecting through the leaves. Look up to your right and make a prayer for what you want. Do this quickly. Then ask your mate to join you in the garden. Lie down under the tree holding hands. Picture a blue light forming a dome over you. Now go out of the garden holding hands, cradling a child between you.

Affirmations & Visualizations - Fertility & Moon Blood

Women who hope not to be pregnant feel relief when their monthly period arrives. For women who had hoped to finally be pregnant, the first stirrings of menstruation lead only to grief and depression. Modern Western Culture perceives menstruation as the antithesis of pregnancy.

Change this.

Understand menstrual blood as the force that activates conception. Menstruation is the flower, the necessary precursor to the fruit of the womb.

Visualize yourself multiplying.
See yourself filled with the soul of the child you desire.

Affirm to yourself everyday that your body is unique and has its own natural cycle and believe that you are in tune with your own, not anybody else’s' menstrual cycle.

I now release all emotional blocks preventing conception. I am now becoming more and more confident about my ability to create.

Spiritual Petition

A Spiritual Petition for the Goddess - good to use in opening fertility magic

Praise to our Goddess
You are the cauldron of wisdom,
From which inspiration flows.
You are the broad Earth,
Which gives birth to all life.
You are the circling Moon,
Ruling the tides of Oceans and Women
You are the endless night sky,
Filled with numberless stars.
You are a grove of birch trees,
Shining in the forest deeps.
You are the Mother of us all,
And I look to you in wonder and awe.
