Potion to Relieve
Spring Fever: |
To Receive
Nature’s Aid:
In the Spring, make an amulet and inside put fine dirt. Wear this about your neck. Wear a loose, flowing robe of green. Do not bind up your hair, wear shoes or any kind of cosmetic or artificial scent. Take a small tree you have purchased or some seeds and go to a large open field. Carry a large container of water with you and water some of the flowers in the field. Then plant the tree or seeds, water them and say:
|
I feel power all around me – The great movement of the universe. And I see the mighty and the miniature Miracles about me. Then I must also feel and see The insignificance of human frame And the limits of my power. Yet I see my place among the Flowers and the creatures of the field. And so I kneel in obedience And give myself to you.
|
| Then lie flat in
the clearing and after a period of meditation, arise and put a mark of dust upon
your forehead. Find three leaves
and put them in your hair. Sleep
that night with the window open. Good
favor should be gained. |
Against
Weeds
Under a waning
moon, break one leaf from the garden’s tallest weed; crush it with your teeth;
spit it out on the soil and say:
“Malum Despo
Caedo Caedo”
|
|
To Dismiss
Winter’s Greens: |
All trees or boughs that have been cut and kept for luck within the house must not be cast away or scorned, but gravely burned to dust at last; chop them fine; give them flame; offer this rhyme:
|
“Forgive our fire, faithful tree |
In our home, a large portion of the trunk from each year's Yule tree is always saved to become the following year's Yule log. It is then gaily decorated by the children with ribbons and dried flowers and burned with great ceremony upon the Solstice. The fragrant pine needles are also stripped and saved for potpourri and incense.

To Converse with a Snake Speak to the serpent
with his voice
in the language of his race
slow and sliding, softly
chiding, sweet and gliding, sly and
confiding: |
 |
| These spells are recorded in my Book as passed on by my High Priestess, but I believe she got several of them from "The Crone’s Book of Words." |
A Spell to Summon Fairies
Sit
where the Cat Sits.
Cross your toes.
Close your eyes and smell a rose.
Then say under your breath:
"I believe in fairies,
sure as death."
Gadflykins! Gladtrypins!
Gutterpuss and Cass!
Come to me fairily
Each lad and Lass!
...from Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book
