Candle Weight Loss Spell

You get 1 white, 1 blue, and 1yellow candle. Light them all in front of a mirror and say this chant:

Lighter thinner
that I say
Make me my right size
this very day

When you finish this chant, pour the wax from the candles into a small glass with a new wick in it. Repeat this day after day until your new candle is made. Burn your new candle until it or the wind puts the candle out. When you're feeling overweight again light the candle and let it put itself out.

Spell to Lose Weight

Take a piece of parchment paper and draw a pentacle in the center. In each point write one word of
“Refrigerator Stay Invisible To Me”


While writing concentrate on yourself at the desired weight you have in mind.
Attach the paper to the fridge, until you reach your goal. Moon should be waning.

Weight Loss Spell

Meditate during the waning moon. Light a pink candle for self-love. Anoint it with the oil of your choice. Next light a brown candle, engrave the number of pounds you want to loose on it. Then visualize banishing the excess weight. Runes can also be carved on the candle if you wish and incense can be burned. Visualize the smoke taking the excess pounds away!!

Will Power Spell

This is a meditation spell. You will require a number of candles. Basically any shape candles but their colors should be light blue, white or purple.

This spell can be cast anywhere where you can remain for a period of time (the longer the better) and where you will be undisturbed and comfortable. Light the candles and start the incents or potpourri (you don?t need both, just one, or if the candles are scented that works as well).

Lay down in your comfortable place and chant the following chant:

Give me strength and guide me right,
To my goals when they?re in sight,
But even when they?re far away;
Guide myself towards the day
When I shall stand upon the shore
My conflicts gone forever more.
And guide myself to make the choice,
That I can?t bring myself to voice;
And calm my tormented, ravaged soul,
From right now till forever more.

The more often the chant is spoken, the more will power you will be given. The spell will fade over time and it is best if it is cast weekly.

Mirror Weight Loss Spell

Meditate during the waning moon. Light a pink candle for self-love. Anoint it with the oil of your choice. Next light a brown candle, engrave the number of pounds you want to loose on it. Then visualize banishing the excess weight. Runes can also be carved on the candle if you wish and incense can be burned. Visualize the smoke taking the excess pounds away!!

Shrink my waist spell

Light the candles.
Write on one side of the paper what your current waist measurement is, then on the other side write what you wish it to be. Place the paper, current side up, in front of the candles.
Mark on the measuring tape where you wish your waist to measure with the adhesive take, then x out where you are now with the permanent marker.
Sit and meditate. Visualize how you will look and feel when you are at your goal. Really feel the pride, happiness, excitement, etc.
Once you have a solid picture of it all in your mind, take the paper and burn each end in the flame of one of the candles and place on the plate, imagining that the inches are burning away with the paper.
Take the cord and begin to tie knots, starting at one end and alternating while moving from the outside inward until you reach 9 knots. Tie it around your neck out wrist.
By this time the paper should be ash, so gather the ash and release it into the winds, saying "so mote it be" as the ashes float away.
As your waist shrinks, mark off the new measurement with the marker until you hit the tape.
Once you reach your goal, bury the cord as an offering to the earth.

Suffering from a migraine?

What do you do when you are suffering from a migraine, or have pulled a muscle in your shoulder?  How do you deal with a chronic condition like sciatica or arthritis, on a regular basis?  When pain strikes, we will generally do just about anything and everything we can to get rid of that throbbing feeling, but while pain killers may seem like an obvious choice; Swapping your meds for essential oils might be a wiser choice.

How do essential oils work?

Essential oils are natural extracts from the core of a plant. They are produced as a by-product of photosynthesis (a process that converts light energy into chemical energy). Each extracted aromatic essence has its own unique chemical constituent, and each has its own specific therapeutic properties. When used correctly, the oils work to balance, harmonise and promote health of the body, mind and spirit. They work on a physiological, psychological and spiritual level, enhancing your innate healing process.

The oils work on the mind and body in two ways:

Through inhalation: Essential oils are volatile substances. When inhaled, the scent works its way up the nose, where thousands of receptors identify with its fragrant smell. At this point, the scent is processed by the limbic system in the brain (where emotional and psychological responses are processed) triggering a range of responses, from relaxing to stimulating.

Through skin absorption: Essential oils (usually blended with a base oil - more details below) can be rubbed onto the affected area. Upon application, the oils work their way through all the layers of the skin, and into the bloodstream.

So, the next time you're in need of a little pain relief, opt for any of these 12 essential oils to help ease your aches and pains quickly.

Beauty spell

Beauty…Mundane women of the world grasp at fancifully advertised chemical preparations to keep themselves beautiful, to achieve youthful skin, to stave off the effects of time– the Witch goes beyond that.  She knows that sometimes to achieve beauty and perfection, you have to get your hands dirty.  This spell is a good place to start:

Shed Your Skin Spell

This spell takes advantage of the energy of three creatures who change or freshen their appearance by literally coming out in a new skin:  the cicada, the moth or butterfly, and the snake.  And you’re going to be using in this spell one of three things:  the shed skin of a snake, the open and empty cocoon of a moth or butterfly, or the abandoned skin of a cicada.

Shudder now and get over the ‘ick’ factor– real magic requires girding up your loins and getting your hands dirty once in a while– as the gray witch will tell you.

Correspondences:

Day:  Friday– associated with Venus, beauty, and love
Hour:  1st/8th hour after sunrise;
3rd/10th hour after sunset
Planet:  Venus
Moon Phase:  waxing to full
Color:  pink, white, silver
Herbs:  for beauty– ginseng, lilac,
rose; for youth– catnip, valerian
Oil:  rose oil Stone:  rose quartz
Number: 6
Letters:  F, O, X– (no pun intended)
Symbols:  The symbol for Venus
Deities:  Venus/Aphrodite or Hathor

Items needed:

1.  The dried shell of a cicada,
a snakeskin, or abandoned cocoon
2.  A fireproof bowl
3.  A bottle of rose oil
4. A pink or white candle
5.  A red flannel bag

This spell works on the refreshing metamorphic energy of the creatures listed here.  It also works on the mind and what you see, or what you think you see.  This spell is not an instant facelift, but rather, it changes the perception of how others view you and how you view yourself.  It will give you the illusion of beauty and youth.

After the basic preparations are in place, the candles lit, the incense going, place upon your altar the fireproof bowl.  Drop within it the insect skin, cocoon, or the snake shed and light it afire– you may need a bit of a flammable oil sprinkled on the top to get it going.

When the fire has gone out and the remains have cooled off a bit, using your pestle, crush what’s left into a pulp, adding a few drops of rose oil and drippings from your pink or white candle until you get a good consistency with a nice scent.  Now take it in your hands– yes, in your hands– and roll it into a ball…drop this treasure in the red flannel bag.

Keep this bag in a secret spot, and on the evening of a full moon bring it out when you are alone in a darkened candle-lit room.  Stand before a mirror, calling to the changing energy of the creature whose remains are in the bag.  Wave the bag in a gentle back and forth motion before your face, saying:

“By the power of the creature here, 
May youth and beauty shine pure and clear. 
By the power of the creature within, 
May I shed what’s old to reveal fresh young skin.”

Dress Well - Improve self confidence

Dress Well.

"Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world". - Marilyn Monroe.

The first step to improving your self-confidence is to present yourself in a way that makes you feel good. 
Don’t think that in order to feel good about yourself you need to spend everything in your bank account . You need to look at clothes that make you feel special, successful and presentable, rather than simply reaching for the highest price tag on the clothing rail. 
Don’t think you’re going to change the way your confidence is overnight, but you can fake it by putting on an outfit that makes you feel good and turns heads. Ensure you wear clothing that boosts your self-confidence. Rather than envying your work colleague who arrives at work every day looking fantastic and walking around with head held high, become that person. 
Update your wardrobe and throw away all clothing that is too big. Choose items that fit you well, make you feel good and look great on you, you’d be amazed what a difference a simple wardrobe change can do for your confidence. 
You’ve heard the saying that “appearance isn’t everything,” this is very true but appearance can help you boost your confidence and feel better about yourself. 
Take your time in front of the mirror each morning before you head off to work. Look at yourself and see the image that looks back at you. Are you looking at a confident person who looks great? If this is what you see, this is how you will feel about yourself. 
Clean, stylish and well fitted clothing will add confidence, help you hold your head high and portray a positive image.
