Book
of Shadows
|
In this Book you will find spells and rituals that didn't seem to fall in any other room of the Cottage. I have included Love spells and hexes. I make no apologies and will accept no criticism in this matter. I am a witch - not a Wiccan. I believe in each person's own moral accountability and in your right to defend yourself. If that sounds like a cranky Crone set in her ways, then So Mote It Be. (see About Me if your curious regarding this subject)
Do this chant after the circle has been cast. Begin slow & low, repeating while building in intensity & volume 'til the chant fills your ears and your mind like a drum's beat and you feel the Powers you have summoned peaking...
Powers
above,
Powers
to Side,
Powers
within me
Now abide.
Earth,
Air, Fire & Water
By the Dawn of the East
The Twilight of the West
The Black Midnight of North
By Yew, Hawthorn and Rowan
By the Law of Knowledge
By the Law of True Falsehoods
The Law of Balance
So Mote it Be!
I
call Earth to bind my spell
Air to speed it's travel well
Bright as Fire shall it glow
Deep as tide of Water flow.
Count the Elements, four-fold,
In the fifth the spell shall hold.

For walking "between worlds". Performed correctly, it is a powerful ritual of haunting beauty. It is rather long, however, so it has a page of it's own. Click on the fairy below - she will take you there....
I\
I love collecting old spells. This
one, copied exactly as I found it,
is said to be from Isobel Gowdie,
a 17th century Scottish witch.
I've never tried it for
obvious reasons! But I love it for the quaint
language and the
imagery that comes to mind when I read it.
To
Change into a Cat:
I
shall goe intill ane catt,
With
sorrow and sych and a blak shott;
And
I shall goe in the Divellis nam,
Ay will I com hom againe.
(repeat three times)
To
Change Back
into Human Form:
Catt,
catt, God send thee a blak shott,
I
am in a cattis likness just now,
Bot I sal be in a womanis likness ewin now.
Catt,
catt, God send thee a blak shott.
(repeat three times)
Burn
Attraction or Come to Me incense and a pink or orange candle anointed
with Attraction or Come to Me oil. Tape
the person's name to the bottom of the telephone and anoint the phone also
with the oil. Visualize them picking up the phone and dialing your number and
yourself answering.
They should call you within 30 minutes. Occasionally,
due to circumstances on their end, it may take a bit longer. But, if anyone else calls in that time, you must start over.
After the person
has called you, Do NOT forget
to take their name off the bottom of the phone!
I have twice forgotten to do this.
Each time, my phone went on the fritz afterward.
The first time I called a phone repairman who could find nothing
wrong (though he looked at me strangely when he saw the piece of paper
taped on the bottom...). The 2nd time, I realized
what I'd done before I called someone out! Each time, as soon as I
removed the name, the phone
worked fine.
Obviously, do not to do this spell just because you feel like talking to somebody. Only when it's very important to contact them and you have no other way to reach them.
Come to Me incense & oil is in the Book of Formulas.
Probably everyone has had sometime in their life when another person becomes romantically fixated upon them and simply will not leave them alone! Short of a restraining order, what do you do? Start with this spell:
Pick
a day when the moon is waning and your emotions are at a pitch. Secure a
dark red rose that is partly opened. On your altar burn a Saturn
incense. With a pin, prick the person's initials into the rose, then dip
it into melted paraffin filling the pin holes with wax. Put the stem into
a bottle of black ink and leave it on your altar for several hours. The
rose should darken except for the initials.
That
evening, cast your circle - again burning the Saturn incense. On the altar
have two black candles anointed with a Saturn oil and placed 13"
apart. Light the candles and between them place a picture of the
person. Hold the rose over the picture, close your eyes and chant:
Wild
and whirling spirits are in my thoughts
And demons haunt my mind,
This person is the object of my distemper.
That I may find relief and release
May this black rose be infused with magic
That carries a Dire Warning -
To cease his/her suit or to Beware!
Pull
one petal from the rose and drop it scornfully upon the picture. The next
day, place the rose in a box and have it delivered to your tormentor.
