SPELL OF THE WEEK

There are lots of practical uses for magick spells in our everyday lives and they don't require ritualistic pomp and circumstance, apothecary drawers full of eye of newt and hummingbird's tongue, or even a magic wand. You don't have to be a card carrying, broom riding, cauldron stirring witch either. A little practical knowledge, common sense and good intentions is all it takes to cast a successful spell.

Each week I'll be posting a spell from one of my two Spell Books., Workplace Spells and Animal Spells And Magick. They are simple yet effective spells that are easy to do with just a few practical ingredients or tools that you probably already have around the house, or easy to find.

I learned early on that magick affects the world around you, so be very careful what you ask for. None of my spells are crafted to do harm to anyone, but they do get the job done. Intent is the key to make a spell work. Visualize what you want, and cast the spell knowing that it is going to work. Any doubt in your mind and it won't work, so "Wish honestly, then conjure boldly."

The Spell For This Week Is...

"Stop The Gossip Spell"

Unflattering gossip is an unfortunate byproduct of the workplace environment, as well as in our everyday lives. In order to stop the gossip that you know is being spread about you, use this basic candle spell.

You will need:

A black candle

A sharp pin

Patchouli Oil

Write the words, "Stop All Gossip" on the candle with the pin and anoint the candle with the patchouli oil. Then light the candle and repeat the following incantation:

From now on, you'll hold your tongue

Stop spewing out your ridiculous dung

From now on, you'll say no more

You're nothing but a silly bore.

So Mote It be

Blow out the candle and rub the smoke between your palms, then open your hands with your palms up and release your intentions into the ethers.
