"By the dragons light, on this (month) night,
I call to thee to give me your might,
by the power of three, I conjure thee,
to protect all that, surrounds me, so mote it be!

BATH FOR PROTECTION AND PURIFICATION

Add it to you bath water for a protective and cleansing influence.
It is particularly useful to clean off the feelings left by contact with those who are negative or controlling.
PROTECTION SPELL

Light the incense. Place the candle on top of your photo(s) and light it.
Envision a protective white light surrounding your loved ones and say:
"O Goddess, protect my loved ones every day, as they sleep and as they play.
Help them to always smile bright, and keep them safe in Your loving light.
Protect them from harm and from all they fear.
For they are the ones that I hold dear.
I thank the Goddess for helping me.
I trust in Her aid So mote it be!"
Let the candle and incense burn down.
HOLLY DRIVING CHARM
To make a charm to protect you as you drive, place the following items in a small box:
three holly leaves, one clove of garlic, one sprig of cedar, one piece of clear quartz, and one
piece of dragon's blood resin. Hold the box shut, and imagine you are driving your car.
Envision yourself working in a clear, keen, and observant state.
You make decisions as necessary when you are behind the wheel;
you react with split-second timing, and you generally find joy in your role as a safe driver.
Put the box in the glove compartment of your car and follow through by always driving in
a safe and responsible manner.
WITCHES PROTECTION BOTTLE
The following are the ingredients for a Witch's Protection Bottle and it works in two ways.
It not only protects you, but it will deflect the harm towards you back to the originator.
WITCH'S PROTECTION BOTTLE
Get a glass jar such as a Mason jar, or even a baby food jar, anything that has a lid to it.
Fill the jar halfway with small sharp objects such as pins, metal scrapings, broken glass,
razor blades, etc. Be careful when you are filling the jar! Once the jar is half full with
these objects, fill the jar up with a holy water mixture of salt and water.
Put the top on the jar and be sure it's secured.
This jar should be buried in the ground at least twelve inches deep.
As long as the bottle remains in the ground, you will be protected from harm that is
sent your way. If you bury the jar somewhere away from home, and you wont know
if it will still be there in a year (City Witches don't always have backyards!), then
be sure to repeat this process each year.
PROTECTING THE HOME
Start by mixing water and salt, two elements of magic. Consecrate them.
Use garlic salt and add powdered rosemary if you need to clear out ghosts or spirits.
Begin at the main entrance of the house or apartment.
Sprinkle some of the consecrated water by dipping your fingers in it and making
the sign of the pentacle. Say:
Evil shall leave but not enter.
Use a firm voice. Make it a commandment, with all of your power behind it.
Proceed counterclockwise through the house, repeating the procedure in
every corner of each room, at all the windows, doors and mirrors.
Don't forget telephones, computers with active modems, fax machines,
intercoms, and televisions that are connected to the Internet.
It doesn't hurt to do the mailbox, too.
Make the downward pentacle, with your left hand, if this feels right to you.
Or the upward pentacle with your right hand. Either will work.
Repeat the spell annually, or whenever you feel in need of it.
It is important to perform a spell like this one on a new home before you move into it.
SPELL FOR A NEW HOME
This spell can be used while consecrating the salt and water:
O Great Mother in your name we purify
with water and with salt cleanse this place of evil
and fill it with your Love O Great Mother
make this cave a safe space a warm and dry place
and shelter us from harm O great Mother
make this house our home
PROTECTION CHARM
Tools: One red candle + one white candle
A small piece of white paper Oil Ink pen Red Ribbon
Set the white candle alight on the left to represent the Goddess and a red candle to the right to
represent the God. Place the materials for the spell between the two candles.
Using the oil, with your right index finger, draw a pentacle (star inside a circle) in the
middle of the white paper, while saying,
"With the seal of this pentagram I request that this charm be used for protection."
Using a pen, in the center of the oil-drawn pentagram, draw your own special symbol for protection.
Say,
"With this rune, I request that this charm be used for protection."
When you are ready, roll the paper up with the red ribbon tightly lengthwise.
Hold the charm over the red candle and say,
I consecrate myself in fire
so that I can defend myself
and protect myself with the power I have.
Continue doing this with the smoke of the white candle, but consecrate it in the name of air.

A SPELL TO BIND BULLIES
You Need: 3 black candles black thread one black pen a piece of paper an empty glass jar
This spell will not hurt your bully, it will just make them leave you alone.
Do this spell at midnight on a Saturday of a waning moon
(a period of time between a full moon and a new moon, the light is decreasing.
The opposite is the waxing moon, when the moon is moving from a new moon to a full).
Set the candles in a big triangle shape, big enough so that you can sit in the middle.
Light the candles. Write the bully's name on the paper, and draw an "X" over it.
Fold it three times. Say:
"I bind you (say their name)
so that you cannot hurt me anymore,
both physically, and emotionally.
Get out of my life, leave me alone.
I bind you (say name) I bind you."
Then tie the thread around the folded paper, and pop it in the jar. Screw on the lid.
Snuff out the candles (never, NEVER blow out candles after a spell, it pushes the
magick away). The next day, bury the jar off you property, or you can hide it in a closet
where it will not be found. If the black candles you used are small enough, you can put
them in the jar (do this at the end of the spell, not after you have screwed the lid on).
If not, burn them later until there is nothing left of them.
CANDLE SPELL TO STOP HARASSMENT
Timing: During the waning moon. Use a brown candle (an image candle, if you can)
to represent the person who is harassing you.
Write the person's name on the front and back of the candle.
On a small piece of parchment paper, write:
'From now on, (name) will say nothing but sweet words about me and to me.
By the power of Aradia, so mote it be!'
Put a drop of honey in the middle of the paper and roll it into a ball.
Heat a knife, pin or your athame, make a gash in the candle (in its mouth, if it's an image candle)
and stuff the paper ball into it.
Let the candle burn a little while every night for an odd number of nights, to a maximum
of nine nights. Throw the remnants into flowing water, but save some candle drippings
or ash to sprinkle in the path of your oppressor.
TO PROTECT YOUR HOUSE
You need: A whole head of Garlic 3 large 'iron' nails 9 pieces of White Thread (7 in. long each)
6 pieces each of Black Thread and Red Thread (7 inches long each)
Wax One White Egg Water and Wine
Twist or braid 3 white, 2 red and 2 black threads together, melt a little wax and dip the threads
so that it forms a stiff twine/wick like feel. Do this two more times so you have 3 waxed braids.
Place the nails in a fire until they are red hot, while still hot (you can let them cool a little bit)
wrap each nail with a garlic leaf. Then wind one of the waxed threads around each leave covered nail.
In a dish or bowl make a triangle with the nails and place it in a safe place (or your altar).
Place the egg in the triangle so it stands up, sprinkle with wine and water everyday.
SPELL FOR PROTECTION
Sit or stand before any fire. Look into the flames (or flame if using a candle).
Visualize the fire bathing you with glowing, protective light.
The fire creates a flaming, shimmering sphere around you.
If you wish, say the following words:
"Craft the spell in the fire;
Craft it well; Weave it higher.
Weave it now of shining flame;
None shall come to hurt or maim.
None shall pass this fiery wall;
None shall pass No, none at all." Repeat this every day if needed.
SPELL BINDER
This is best used at the end of a spoken or written spell.
This adds a certain boost to the releasing of energy.
It also works best if you are wearing a Pentagram you have attuned to yourself.
Speak these word with all the fibers of your body while releasing the spell's energy:
By the Pentagram I wear,
Water, Fire, Earth, and Air,
Ruled by Spirit as All should be
As I speak So Mote It Be!

In no way shall this spell reverse
Or place upon me any curse
So mote it be.
PROTECTION BOTTLE
Find a large bottle and stuff it with small pieces of thread of many colors (expect black).
This project will probably take you many weeks, since only small pieces of thread (one to
three inches in length) should be used, and east must be introduced into the bottle separately.
As you add each piece of thread, say something like the following:
TANGLE THE BANE UP!
TANGLE THE BANE UP!

The person who is having negative thoughts will have an improved ability to relate to those

transgressing individual to leave you alone.
Tools: Paper Pen Large plastic bag suitable for the freezer Goddess candle Marking Pen
Arrange your tools on an altar. Light the Goddess candle. Cast a circle.

a wide-mouthed glass jar, ashes, vinegar, a knife or something else sharp like a razor blade
or piece of broken glass, and an apple.

Take the apple and carve into it something that will represent the person or the negativity which
follows or attacks you. Try and make it as clear as you can-while you carve, infuse the apple
with all of the negativity you perceive around you. Raise the apple above the jar and say:
"Evil send must come to rest
Reflect it back to who knows best

Blend with a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed.
Continue heating until the shortening has extracted the scent.
You should be able to smell it in the air.
Strain through a cheesecloth into a heat-proof jar, a canning jar would be perfect for this.
Add 1/2 tsp. tincture of benzoin (can be found at an herb store or drug store) to each pint
of ointment as a natural preservative. Store in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator.
Ointments will last for weeks or months. Discard any that turn moldy, and make a fresh batch.

earth that feels solid, stable, and strong to you. Find a quiet outdoor place and sprinkle a
circle of salt on the ground, large enough for you to sit inside, and hold your chosen stone.
Close your eyes; ground and center, drawing Earth energy within you. Visualize rings of
energy swirling around the Saturn stone you hold, building and increasing to surround
and emanate from you. Within the rings you are strong, solid, secure, and shielded from harm.
In the future, whenever you feel the need for extra protection, hold your stone to assist you.

with the tip of the Athame and say:

Serve me well as protector of this house and all who reside within its walls.
Guardian and protector, so shall it be from this moment forth!
So mote it be!" Hang the sachet in the highest part of your home.

PROTECTION CHARM
Fill a clear glass goblet about halfway up with water.
Stir in a little salt and put it in direct sun for approximately 15 minutes.
Let the water absorb the rays. Along side the goblet, place a charm or talisman on
a chain or cord and allow it to receive the sun as well.
(Note: You may use a piece of jewelry such as a gemstone pendant or a stone you've
found or any other natural object for the charm.) After 15 minutes have passed, take
the glass and talisman out of the sun and dip the talisman into the water.
Using the chain or the string attached to the talisman, gently swirl it clockwise
while you say the following three times.
Apollo's light surround me.
Poseidon's water protect me.
Athena's wisdom guide me.
As you speak the words, imagine a beam of pure white light surrounding both
the water and the talisman. Leave the water with the talisman in it for another
10 minutes, then dry it off and wear it with comfort in knowing that it will protect you.
PROTECTION CHARMS
Mistletoe, also known as golden bough, carried in a little hand sewn cloth bag is a
traditional Celtic method of protecting the self and is also used by the followers of
the magic from America's South.
Marjoram or wild oregano is believed to absorb dangerous negative energies when
powdered and sprinkled about the home. In Italy the followers of Italian witchcraft or
Stregheria make this herb into a tea and add it to the wash and scrub water to protect
the home and its inhabitants.
Cuban and Puerto Rican followers of the folk religion known as Santeria regularly burn
brown sugar, a pinch of sulfur and garlic powder on charcoal within their homes to cleanse
them of any negative energy. When the home has been cleansed, it is protected by
praying to Santa Barbara, the saint of protection, by the light of a red and a white candle.
A pinch of sulfur powder and cayenne pepper carried in a little brown paper pouch upon
which a sword has been drawn, can be carried to ward off hostile words and deeds.
Plain bluing (used to whiten clothes in the wash) is said to ward off evil spirits in the magic
of America's South. The bluing is generally carried in a little blue paper pouch.
When a little sulfur and blue metal stone (the type often used in the process of making
concrete) are added to bluing and carried in a blue cloth pouch, the charm is said to
simultaneously ward off evil and attract lucky energies to the bearer.
Mirrors are said to frighten away dark spirits and tiny pieces of silvered glass are often
sewn into Indian cotton dresses as are bells which are also used for this purpose.
A tiny silver bell worn about the neck is a very potent protective charm as evil spirits cannot
abide the sweet ring of any bell. Travelers are especially in need of protection when in a
foreign land. A tiny mirror smeared with a clove of garlic and placed beneath the bed is
said to protect the sleeper when away from his or her own home. The mirror may also be
carried on one's person for this same purpose.
PROTECTION FROM NEGATIVE ENERGIES SPELL
1 black candle, caraway, a small mirror Cast a circle and light the candle.
Sprinkle the caraway on the candle's flame (be careful!) and on the mirror.
Close your eyes and imagine yourself surrounded by a magick shield. Imagine the
negative energies bouncing off your shield and returning to where they came from.
Open your eyes and stand facing North. Hold the mirror out in front of you, the reflective side
pointing outward. Say these words:
"Mirror of Protection,
Stop the flow of negative energy in my direction!
May the energy be sent back to its source,
Let it harm none along its course!"
Now turn East and repeat the words for Air. Repeat for Fire and Water. Close the Circle.
A WARDING
The following is an easy warding ritual for your home or just one room.
You must admit that there are those who would use magick in unwise ways.
A simple way of dealing with such attempts is to ward a room you work in, or your home.
It is similar to casting a circle except that it is as permanent as you want it to be.
Be sure that you won't be disturbed while casting the ward or you will have to start over.
Nothing is required to do this but you may use any props necessary to make you most comfortable.
After ensuring you won't be disturbed, ground and center (use any form you wish, this is a
very adaptable ritual). Cast your circle, using the walls as the four Quarters (again use
whatever method you are most comfortable with).
After the circle is cast you will do something similar to circle casting.
Invoke the Quarters again this time asking for protection of the area being warded
against all negative influences from being able to ever enter the area involved.
As you invoke each Quarter visualize a wall of energy completely covering the wall involved
sealed by a floor to ceiling pentacle. On the wall/s with a door visualize a smaller version of the
energy wall and pentacle so that entering and leaving will not affect the integrity of the working.
After each wall, the floor, and the ceiling are sealed be sure to cleanse the area to ensure that
no negativity was trapped inside the room (any method is acceptable).
When done thank the Quarters for their help and dismiss them.
THE BOTTLE SPELL (VARIATION OF THE TRADITIONAL WITCH'S BOTTLE)
This spell can be used to neutralize the power of those who intend to hurt your reputation,
in any way pose a threat to your security, or who want to do you physical harm.
--black thread black ink or black ballpoint pin parchment paper
--1 bottle with a cork or mortar and pestle 1 white candle
--4 tablespoons orris-root (or oak moss) 4 tablespoons sea salt
--4 tablespoons black powdered iron (available at pottery shops where ironstone is made)
--4 tablespoons frankincense or myrrh
Mix the sea salt, orris-root powder, and iron in a bowl.
Then cut a piece of parchment to fit inside your bottle and write on it in black ink:
"I neutralize the power of [name of your adversary] to do me any harm.
I ask that this be correct and for the good of all. So mote it be."
Roll up the parchment, tie it with black thread to bind it, and place it in the bottle.
Fill the bottle with the dry ingredients.
Then take the white candle and, while turning the bottle counter clockwise, drip
wax over the cork to seal it. Last, secretly bury the bottle in a place where it will
not be disturbed and no animal or person will dig it up.
It should never be opened or the power of the spell is lost.
PROTECT YOUR ABODE WHILE YOU ARE TRAVELLING
To prevent theft: gather as many keys as you have in your house should be the # of doors
that you have in your house)
Moving slowly through your house, take a key, touch it to the door and say:
"Lock out thieves in the night.
Lock out thieves in the light.
Lock out thieves out of sight."
Repeat this until you have touched each and every key to each door. Then, tie them with a
red ribbon and hang over front door. Remember to visualize them keeping away thieves!
Remember, never leave your bed empty for too long.
Doing so may cause unwanted negative energy to settle in your place.
When heading off, clean the bed and tuck a broom into it, bristles on the pillow.
If you are in a strange place you might want to bring along a blue candle.
Burning blue while you sleep will help protect you. Mirrors are great protection in the
bedroom, as it repels negative influences. So put a small one on the headboard of
your bed, or at least facing the door, and you should stay safe throughout the night.
SPELL FOR PROTECTION
Make a sachet to wear around your neck. The color should be blue or purple but make it
a color you can live with. On the night of a full moon, blend these herbs together:
--amber juniper dill vervain St. John's Wort lavender
by crushing them together with a mortar and pestle. Leaving them in the vessel, hold them
up to catch the light of the full moon and say:
"Moon of night in fullness shine
bless this rite protection be mine"
Then without touching it fill your pouch and wear it whenever you feel threatened.
It also works if you keep it in your pocket.
SPELL TO TRAP AN EVIL SPIRIT (IN A JAR)
This traps an evil entity or evil spirits and prevents any harm being done.
--Salt water - 1 part Sea salt to 8 parts of spring water.
--1 dried Rose 13 Rose Thorns 1 Small Glass Jar + a tightly fitting lid
Put the Rose Thorns into the jar one at a time and as you do this and drop one in,
chant the following words each time:
"Thou Demon presence. Be no more!"
Crush up the Thorns in the jar and then crush up the Rose petals and add them to the jar,
slowly add the salt water. Keep the jar open overnight.
The next morning before the sunrise close the lid. All the evil should now be trapped inside the jar.
Cover the jar with a cloth and bury it far away from the house in a place that has no buildings nearby.
HOME BLESSING
Who comes to me, I keep. Who goes from me, I free.
Yet against all I stand who do not carry my key.
Use this as an inscription over a threshold with three pine cones hung loose to blow in the wind.
SHORT TERM PROTECTION
This summoning is used for short-term goals and needs such as protecting an object being
leant, or anything for a brief period, such as a car ride or elevator trip. Mark the object to
be protected with the sign of the guardian and repeat the incantation below:
"Gentle Guardian wise and strong
keeps it (me, him/her) as it (I, he/she) doth belong.
Safe within thy charge and care,
the current problem to fare.
No harm to come or ill to befall
Guarded and safe through it all!"
LONG TERM NEED (PROTECTION)
This form of summoning is closer to permanent as we would perceive it. Yet in this for you
must still work with a time frame in mind, however distant it may be. Guardian Dragons may
be summoned in this fashion for protection of people places and things needing or deserving
long term care (such as children, houses, spouses, etc). Multiple objects can be protected
with but a change in grammar, but they must be together for a single dragon to protect
(the objects become a mini-horde).
"Dragon brave and Dragon wise, let nothing escape your eyes.
I summon your from your hidden lair, (name object here) is entrusted to your care.
Permit no harm to come to (named object) within your sight, in your presence let all evils take flight.
No baneful creature born of flesh or spirit, may touch (name object) nor even come near it.
Let those that would bring harm, be filled with fright and alarm.
SUDDEN NEED SUMMONING
This summoning is short and to the point. Usually used to protect the caster or another in a
sudden crisis. Here are several incantations for just such moments:
"By Dragon wing and Dragon claw, My (his/her) Defense is without flaw.
Shrouded by Dragon might Remove me (him/her) from their (his/her) sight.
Fly before me (him/her) Dragon bright, And blind my (his/her) foe with Thy light
Full of rage and terrible ire, Burn them (him/her) with Thy Dragon Fire!
Dark and terrible be Thy wrath, Dragon, protect me (him/her) on my (his/her) path!
Make the Sign of the Guardian (either in the air or on your brow) In the Air;
Pull thumb and pinkie fingers into the palm and with middle, index and ring fingers draw three lines
at once. Then bending the ring and middle into the palm, draw one line down the right side of
the other three. On a surface simply draw it as you would in the air.
Sign Of The Guardian
Once the task is completed say
Guardian Dragon thanks be to you, my friend both steadfast and true!"
CHARM OF PROTECTION FOR THE CAR
Purchase a plastic toy of a dragon, dinosaur or other fierce beast.
Make sure its mouth is open showing lots of wicked teeth.
You may want to charge it first, by holding it in your hand, visualizing it fiercely protecting
your vehicle from accidents, theft and vandalizing. Say an appropriate invocation to your
god or goddess if applicable (for instance, if you are using a cat or lion toy, you may want
to invoke Bast). If you hang this in your windshield, it will fiercely protect your vehicle.
THE CAULDRON AND THE KNIFE
Just before going to bed, fill a cauldron (or iron bucket, bowl or pot) with water and place it inside
your house near the front door. Take a very sharp knife or Athame and place it point-down
into the water, saying:
"Into the water I place this blade,
To guard against the thief and shade.
May no flesh nor astral shell
Enter this place wherein I dwell"
This is a good protection spell, and can be performed every evening. In the morning, remove
and dry the knife, and place it somewhere safe. Then, without touching it, pour the water
outside, (or down the drain if necessary) and put the cauldron away. It probably wouldn't be
a good idea to do this spell if you're expecting company, as it could be dangerous (and wet).
You can do this at each door if desired, and protects against more than corporeal forms.
SPELL TO PROTECT YOUR HOME
Go outside and collect pebbles from anywhere you feel like such as a mountain, a stream,
a beach, etc or many different places. Then take them home and find an earthenware pot
or some other natural material container and place it in front of you. Cast a circle if you wish
and then take the first stone, say
"Little stone, oh so small, that comes from.... (place you got it)
Protect this house with your power,
and turn away darkness at all hours"
Envisage a large bubble of white light that deflects negativity emanating from the stone
and then place it in the pot. Repeat with the rest of the stones and then finally place the
pot in the place you feel it belongs.
SPELL TO LOCK OUT ANYTHING NASTY
You need to start by meditating before hand on the effect of the spell for at least 15 minutes.
Then, to cast, you sprinkle holy (consecrated to the Lord and Lady) water mixed with salt and
powdered iron; (try potteries to get this) Stand in front of the door that you want to lock...or in
the case of a person the 3rd eye point which is between the eyebrows just above their level.
Then place your hands on the 3rd chakra point or door and concentrate your energies
going down your right arm and going through the door and back into your left arm.
Then you start chanting over and over:
"Portal be controlled and mine, Become as one with my mind,
I hold thee fast, To make this last,
open you not, as I weave the knot, of my power from within."
Keep chanting this as you build up power, and imagine the circle of energy (right arm through
door back into left arm) getting faster and faster. Then upon release, visualize a green field of
energy coming up in front of the door or the 3rd eye chakra.
PROTECTION
God and Goddess of the skies, Please respond to my cries.
Lift me up in your strong arms, Away from those who seek to harm.
Shield me from the awful rage, That shall face me day to day.
Help me be strong in what I do, And help my heart remain true.
Give me strength to face each day, And the hardships before me lain.
Let those who I love love me in return, And everyday let me learn.
I bid you both my spirit keep, While I'm awake and asleep.
So mote it be!
TO DRIVE AWAY EVIL
Take an iron nail - rusty and old. On a dark night - moonless and cloudy, set upon
a smallish flat stone. With an iron hammer strike it thrice. At each stroke say:
Clavus Ferreus
Malleus Ferreus
Ferrum Refilum
Ferrum Nobilis
Score the stone three times across with the nail's point, then take the stone and
bury it far from the house. Carry the nail with you always as a charm.

small enough to be kept as a charm, and bind them with a Vine. Carry them home
and on a table, place the bundles of twigs in the midst of a lighted White Candle,
anointed with Oils for Protection. In addition, you will need to burn Incense with
appropriate scent for Protection. As the smoke starts to arise from the Incense,
pick the Twigs up and pass them over the smoke of the Incense, several times, as you incant:
Smoke of Incense Bless these Twigs for Protection
That it may protect me from all harm
Hold me, Shield me, Defend me So mote it be!
The twigs must be placed on a bag and kept always near you, or rather, it can
be hung on the threshold of the house, to prevent any Evil from entering.

Don't Drink This! Brew these ingredients and anoint each window and door of the house.
Sprinkle the rest on the four corners of the house to prevent Evil from coming.
FOR KEEPING A SPELL FROM BACKFIRING
If a Witch is sick and needs to cast a spell, he/she can bind it.
This will keep the spell from backfiring and causing harm to anyone else, most importantly
to his/herself. The Witch must procure a thread with a color as dark as the nightly sky.
Light an incense of Sandalwood and Lavender, and as the incense fills the air, he/she
must make three knots on the ribbon as he/she intones the words that follow:
By the Karmic Power of Three
This spell tied and knotted be
To cause no harm nor return to me
As I will it, so must it be
The ribbon must be carried when casting the spell as a talisman to keep it from backfiring.
SPELL TO PROTECT AGAINST DISEASE
Say seven times:
Hail to the sky! Hail to the earth!
Hail to the fiery volcanoes that burn away all viruses!
Mighty spirits, Should illness approach me, I ask that you burn it away!
A SPELL TO PROTECT GOOD HEALTH
L

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To leave the old personality behind and to show the world your new self, you may want to choose a craft name. This name should reflect your personal values.

There are several ways to find a Craft Name. Visualization is the way GreyWing found hers.

Use the image of the Goddess in her Maiden form. She is Spring, sometimes known as the Huntress, a fresh beginning, a continuation of life, rebirth. Although she is young we may call on her at all stages of our life.

You may either cast a circle using a pastel colored candle to represent the Maiden or do this meditation anywhere.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sit in a comfortable position and your feet touch the floor. Place your hands in your lap and close your eyes. Visualize a white light coming toward you. The light positions itself over your head. See the light get stronger. The light slowly envelopes your head and shoulders. The light gets brighter and moves lower. It gets even brighter and covers you completely. Breathe slow and steady. Relax your body starting with the muscles of your face. Release the tension in your neck, shoulders, arms and hands. Feel the muscles of your abdomen, buttocks and legs relax. When you are totally relaxed, move on to the visualization.

It is near midnight. A full moon is in the sky tonight. See yourself walking along a path in the woods. All around you a trees. Hear the trees whisper as a light breezes flows through their top branches. The path is clear and well marked,as if followed for many years.The light from the moon is so bright it penetrates the leaves of the all the trees around you.

In the distance you see what must be a clearing, where the light from the moon shines bright. You continue walking till you reach the edge of the clearing. In the middle of the clearing you see a well. You walk toward the well, then stand beside it once you reach it. It is an ancient well, the stones worn and covered in the most beautiful green moss. You look into the well and see how deep it is. You feel all of the days problems and all your worries and negative emotions fall into the darkness of the well. You feel relaxed.

You hear a chattering at you feet.You see a small bird at the base of the well. It is jumping at chattering excitedly. It heads toward the opposite side of the clearing. There you see a hill.. You follow the bird to the hill . There is a handsome vine that grows from the top of the hill and hangs down covering what looks like part of a door. You can see part of an iron handle. You push the vines away. This reveals an old oaken door. It is tall with a rounded top. The hinges are made of iron, old and rusty, but were once very ornate.

You pull on the handle of the door. A little dirt from the top of the door drifts down in front of you and the door slowly opens.

Inside it is very dark. You step inside and wait for your eyes to adjust. With the help of two torches that hang in iron holders on each side of the door, you see a wide tunnel made of stone. It has a curved roof. You take one of the torches and start down the tunnel. You hear a creaking behind you. You turn and see the door closing.

You turn back to the tunnel and walk on. The light of the torch is bright and lights your way. You do not feel frightened. Further in the tunnel you think of the Maiden, the Huntress, her strength. You know if something should happen she will be with you.

The tunnel curves one way, then another. There are smaller tunnels that branch off. You know your path is to follow this main tunnel.

You hear the barking of dogs deeper in the tunnel. You know you are protected by the Maiden and are not afraid. You see reflections and glimmers of light ahead. Voices, footsteps and laughter follow the light. You walk forward to meet whoever is there.

The barking and laughter are louder. You see the light from torches being held by others, but can't make out who they are.

When you are close enough, you see a group of men and women dressed in white robes. All are carrying torches. The leader is a woman, tall and muscular. She wears a short white robe and has a bow and quiver over her shoulders. Her hair is tied back. She wears hunting boots. An owl perches on her right wrist. The hounds are barking and jumping around you.

The Maiden stops in front of you. She asks you to follow her. All but one of the group turn back in the direction they came. This companion links arms with you and coaxes you on. You all follow the Maiden.

The tunnel widens. You find the tunnel has widened so much it is now a circular room. In the center of this room is a fountain. The water from the fountain bubbles up then flows down into a shallow depression in the floor. The curving of the wall is followed by benches that surround you. You and the rest of the group set your torches into holders on the wall. You see the circular wall is covered with bright murals and elaborate carvings.

You walk slowly around the chamber. The scenes on the murals touch something deep in you. The pictures of the forest, the animals, ritual scenes, dancing and music making, all seem to have stirred a feeling of magick and mystery.

One of the companions points to the fountain. The Maiden stands beside the depression filled with water. You walk toward her. She smiles gently and asks you if you have any questions. You tell her that you want to find a craft name. You have been searching, but have had no luck.

She points to the spring and asks if you are ready for initiation. You remove the clothes you are wearing and step into the water. The Maiden picks up a white ceramic pitcher and dips it into the water. She slowly pours water over you, filling the pitcher several times. The Maiden and her companions sing and chant as the water runs down your body.

She blesses you and kisses you on the forehead. You feel your third eye pulsate and become active.

You dress. The Maiden tells you the answer you seek may come to you in a dream or in other forms.

The Maiden and her companions lead you back up the tunnel. The journey back is shorter. As you get nearer the door, the group stops and wishes you farewell. They turn back toward the central chamber. You replace the torch in its holder and push the door open. The Moon welcomes you back to the clearing.

Take three slow deep breaths and return to your present surrounding. Stay quiet for a few minutes and absorb the experience.

Be aware for messages and answers. They may come from unlikely places and people, or in dreams.
