Spell for Attracting New Love

To attract new love, two nights before the full moon, take a small pink votive candle and place it inside your cauldron or any large metal pot. Lay a rose and a bell beside the cauldron and your altar. Use either rose or apple blossom essential oil to anoint the candle’s wick. For the next two nights, light the candle, cup it in your hands, and direct loving thoughts into its flame. On the night of the full moon, take a thorn from the rose and carve the name of your heart’s desire into the candle’s wax, reciting:

    I will find true love.

Light the pink candle and ring the bell thrice, saying:

    As this candle begins to burn, a lover true will I earn.

    As this flame burns ever higher, I will feel my lover’s fire.

Ring the bell three more times and watch the candle burn completely.

Candle Calm Spell

With this spell, you can create a week of blissful and composed calm! On a Monday evening during the waning moon, anoint a black or gray candle with violet essential oil. Place the candle on your altar beside a vase of fresh violets or other purple flowers. Sit in front of your altar as twilight begins, and when the sun is completely gone, light the candle and chant:

    Care and woe, begone.

    I am the mountain, the river, the tree, the grass, and the moon.

    I receive my strength from Nature, and she is my center.

    Tomorrow and the next, all gladness will enter.

    Harm to none, only good.

A Rite to Quell a Restless Mind

One of the most powerful benefits you can gain from having a wand of your own is that it can focus and direct energy. And there are times when we all need that! I often experience “monkey mind,” when my thoughts race around, preoccupied with the various anxieties and stressors of the day. For that reason, I have been creating more rituals and meditations to counteract a wandering mind, one of the woes of our over-busy world.

Needless to say, for the following spell you will need a wand. They are very commonly available from new age shops as well as online. If you find a fallen branch that appeals, you can sand it till it’s nice and smooth and adorn it to your heart’s content if you like by wrapping copper wire or other metals and attaching crystals. I recommend one large one at the end which you use as pointer, with which you can direct energy and draw circles, etc. This crystal can also be a marvelous tool for focusing your mind.

All you need for this spell is your wand and one candle corresponding to the color of your chosen crystal. For example, if it is an amethyst, pick a purple candle. Sit in a darkened room, light the candle, and speak this spell while holding your wand and looking through the crystal at the candle flame.

Intone these words:

    My mind is bright and clear,

    I feel no worry or fear.

    Into this brilliant crystal, I peer.

    I call forth focused energy here.

    So mote it be.

Depending on how anxious and worried your mental state might be, you may need to repeat the spell. When you begin to feel quiet and peaceful in mind and body, you can extinguish the candle and keep it at the ready when you next need to reel in your wandering mind.
