| MOON PHASES 2013 |
Why moon phases are important?
People are often affected by the different phases it's no coincidence the word 'lunatic' was coined from the Latin word 'Luna' meaning the moon, after all we know how the moon affects the tides and we as humans are 70% water so we are likely to be affected by the moon's gravitational pull too.
The dark moon (new moon) is often associated with negativity and not the best time for being creative or signing documents, however it is a time for planning and wishing and positive spells as the power builds up as the moon waxes until the full moon.
The full moon is at it's most positive and most powerful
The waning moon is a time for closure and for conducting spells associated with endings and sending back negativity
AN EXAMPLE OF A SPELL THAT SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT WHEN THE MOON IS WANING
A SPELL 'SENDING BACK THE PAIN'
RITUAL FOR SENDING BACK NEGATIVITY TO WHERE IT ORIGINATED
It is never justifiable to curse
or hex anyone, it is wrong and you have to remember the laws of the
Universe what you give out you will get back tenfold. However that does
not mean you have to tolerate being bullied or attacked by anyone for
this can result in unhappiness and can if it goes on resulting in
physical illness. Sometimes no matter what you do to try and resolve
something and even report it to the appropriate authority that doesn't
cause it to cease. You cannot wish ill on them for bad vibes will always
rebound on the sender of negative magic but what you can do is return
the pain to the perpetrator. You are not mentioning names but merely
returning ill will and negativity back to where it came from.
This ritual is most effective when carried out at the time of a waning moon or on any moonless night.
Method and ingredients
Take
nine iron nails (carpet tacks will do) and place them in a
dark glass bottle with sprigs of rosemary, sour milk that's begun to curdle and some cheap red wine that has gone sour
Cork the bottle and shake it saying: "May venom and viciousness coil
like poisonous snakes and bottle up the evil that is done to me"
Purify a drain with a few drops of
fenugreek or pine dissolved in warm water with a sprinkling of
some salt.
Shake the bottle well and tip the contents down the drain saying words such as:
Pain, misery flow from me
Flow not to the sea
Flow back to he or she
Inflicter of disharmony
Wheresoever you may be
You can do this ritual also for anonymous letters, phone calls or unidentifiable malice
Rinse out the bottle with
very hot water and tip any remnants away, rinsing until the water from the bottle runs clear
When the bottle is empty say:
I have returned the pain
Send it not again
Purify the bottle by placing a
clear quartz crystal in it with
pure spring water and leave it uncorked for a
sun and moon cycle
I have performed this many times to good effect to send back negativity to where it originated

AN EXAMPLE OF A SPELL WHICH SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT WHEN THE MOON IS WAXING
MANIFESTING WISHES
CANDLE MAGIC
Candle magic has been used for
centuries in homes and churches alike. It is a powerful force and can be
effectively utilized when making requests of your angels, guides or
deity. In many churches, continuous candle burning is commonplace and
used to petition Angels and Saints.
Seven day vigil candles are
frequently used for magic and religious purposes. They are easily found
in discount stores, even many grocery stores. Usually found in tall
glass containers, these candles can be clear or decorated with pictures
of Angels and Saints. Seven day candles are used when energy should be
concentrated and sustained. These candles are usually lit with intention
and allowed to burn freely until nothing is left. The glass containers
with the picture of the particular angel you are petitioning can be very
effective. However, in this case, you will be using a candle that is
not housed in a glass container.
First find a suitable candle.
Using a candle in the color appropriate for the Angel or Archangel from
whom you are requesting help will add additional power. Next obtain
crystal headed pins in seven different colors: white, black, yellow,
orange, red, blue and green. Regular color pins will work, but the
crystal heads will add something special to your angelic work. You may
need to obtain them from a fabric store or florist, if your local stores
don't carry crystal headed pins.
Take out your candle and using
normal precautionary steps, use the pins with your candle in the
following manner. Divide the candle into seven equal parts by inserting
six of the pins into it in intervals. The seventh pin should be inserted
at either the top or bottom. If you wish to insert them according to
the chakra colors that is fine. Make sure the pins are fully inserted
into the candle.
The next step requires a piece
of paper and a pen. If you want to add extra power to your intention,
don't just grab a piece of computer paper. Use beautiful stationery, or
even make your own paper. It is best to use a large piece of paper. With
a quality pen or quill and ink, write down seven wishes. Take the time
to think out your wishes and make them very clear. Wishing for a new
car, could lead to an accident and needing to replace your car. Wishing
for a relationship might bring an ogre to your door. Instead of wishing
for a new job, wish for one that will utilize your artistic skills, etc.
Keep in mind the old saying be careful what you wish for.
Now, fold the paper at a ninety
degree angle and write your name over your wishes. Fold the paper again
and write your name. Continue until you have folded the paper seven
times. You will end up with a triangle of paper.
For the next step, anoint the
candle being careful not to dislodge any of the crystal pins. Place the
folded paper under the candle. Burn the candle on seven consecutive
nights. Each time you light the candle pay attention to any revelations
or angelic signs you may receive.
Each time a pin falls, pinch out
the flame, saving the pin. Do not blow out the flame as it scatters the
energy of the candle, the wishes and the intention. When all of the
pins have fallen, insert them into the paper in the following manner.
The white-headed pin should be inserted at the top of the triangle
pointing downward. The black pin from the bottom toward the top point of
the triangle. The orange pin should be inserted from the left side, the
yellow from the right side. The green pin should be placed between the
orange and black pins with the tip at a 45 degree angle. The blue pin
should be the opposite of the green pin. Finally insert the red pin into
the middle of the folded piece of paper.
Some older traditions recommend
that the final step be burying the paper, pins and wax under your
doorstep. In the modern world, people seldom have doorsteps that have
space under them that can be used for burying. Another way to finalize
your wishes would be to burn the paper and blow the ashes into the air,
carrying it to the angels one last time.
Be alert and pay attention to
any signs, messages or even miraculous happenings that your angel
provides. By petitioning your angel, your wishes can come true.
