| CHARMS AND TALISMANS |
| To keep love growing and sustained: Share a bowl of cherries with your lover…from what you eat, save the stones from the centre of three cherries. Gather three small flowers of ‘forget-me-not’ (best done when you are with your lover, the day after a full moon.) It is best that the flowers are picked during the daylight hours, as this ensures the flowers will be open (as they tend to close their petals at night). You will next need a small ball of clay (if this is unavailable, a small poppet may be used ~ pink or white in colour). During the waxing moon, press the cherrystones into the clay (or place them into the poppet) reciting these words: “One for love to sow, One for love to grow, One for love to reap, All for love to keep.” After folding the cherrystones into the clay ball, decorate the outside of it with the three forget-me-not flowers (these may be placed into the poppet if you have no clay). Recite: “Forget-me-not For love today For love tomorrow And love always” With a long, thick needle threaded with pink or white ribbon, pierce the ball of clay through, tying a knot at the end of the ribbon (so when the clay dries the ribbon will hold the ball). Tie a knot as close to the other side of the ball as you can, and another knot at the top of the ribbon (with a bow to make it look pretty). Recite: “Three stones, Three flowers, Three knots. Three times three The power comes forth Three times three Magickal nine, Our love to last For all time.” If using a poppet, tie the neck with ribbon of appropriate colour ~ all else is to be done the same. Scent the ball or poppet with lily-of-the-valley or verbena, and hang it in your bedroom. TO EASE EMOTIONAL SUFFERING Use a mix of the following herbs and flowers, dried: Sage Violet Rosemary Thyme Grind them with pestle and mortar until they are well mixed and almost powdered. As the sun is setting, as low on the horizon as possible, face the setting sun and blow the mixture from the palm of your left hand into the air, saying these words: “As the wind takes this offer, In my life I shall no longer suffer”. Visualize your troubles and stress being taken away on the breeze along with the scented dust you had made. TO HELP REVEAL A SECRET TO YOU During the time of the waning moon, stand outside where you feel comfortable. Hold your hands to the air, palms turned upwards and say: “Enchanting moon Over this land Send down your power- Help me understand Open my eyes So I may see, and Unravel this secret That is closed to me”. To break a bad habit: On a round of blue card, draw a crescent moon and the resemblance of a unicorns’ horn. On the reverse of this card, write the following: Le abitudini sono rotte dalla mia volontŕ Carry this with you, and look at it whenever you feel your willpower weakening. |
