Book of Shadows

A BOOK OF SHADOWS
IS A PERSONAL JOURNAL
OF ONE'S MAGICAL PATH IN LIFE

My path began by chance one day when I discovered my protective ruby amulet in an old antique store.

As it is said with rubies, it has helped me accumulate more stones and
I have developed a certain affinity with them.

Colour Magic describes the magical attributes of different colours, and Feather Magic, the magical properties of the assorted colour combinations of feathers. Feathers should never be plucked from a bird! Only use feathers that have fallen from its owner.

The Elements describe the magical attributes of the elements.

PROTECTIVE SPELL

Items needed:
String
Protective stone (Optional)

I bind all those who hurt me.
Send them back
What they have sent me
Three times three.

Imagine a protective sphere around yourself, and tie a knot in the string each time you recite this. Wear the string around your arm or ankle with the protective stone.

Note: It is best to have specific persons in mind when using this spell. There are persons who love you but unmeaningly hurt you, and there are also those who unmeaningly hurt you for their own selfish, emotional reasons. This recitation is fairly general and should be molded to fit your own needs.

HOUSE BLESSING

Items needed:
sea salt
spring water
incense
white candle
broom

Sweep your house and discard of the dust outside your home. Starting from the East, carry the incense around the inner perimeter of your home and say,

"Powers of Air, cleanse my home of any negativity."

Imagine the incense absorbing all negativity and spiralling out of your home. When you are done, say Thank you.

Then continue with the candle for the powers of Fire, the water (sprinkle) for Water, and the sea salt for Mother Earth. In each turn, visualize the elemental banishing all negativity from your home.
You'll know when you're done when your home shines of a white blinding light or feels right to you.
Don't forget to thank the elementals for their help.

Other House Blessings include:
Keeping herbs in your home, black stones in the corners, lighting incense and/or b/w candles, visualizing a giant bubble surrounding your home deflecting any negativity.

My Book of Shadows grows each day and as I develop myself, I will add to this Book of what I have learnt.
