This spell can be used to help get over a minor illness (such as a cold or mild flu) or to enhance recovery while under a doctor's care. This spell should be done for 9 consecutive days (during the waxing moon if possible) or as needed. But remember, this spell is intended to *aid* healing and speed up recovery only.  It is NOT intended to be used in place of good medical care or common sense.

Needed items: (choose at least one of each category)

1) 6 green (preferred), blue. or white candles

2) cinnamon oil (preferred), vanilla extract, or dragon's blood oil

3) 3 bloodstones (preferred), ambers, garnets, or clear quartz

4) a picture of yourself

Step 1:Inscribe the candles with one each of the following runes:

	Kenaz: healing/physical well being
	Eolh: to strengthen the life force
	Lagaz: for increased vitality
	Tyr: Quick recovery of health
	Hagall: to keep harmful influences out (i.e. relapses, infection, or complications)
	Wunjo: successful recovery and renewed happiness

Step 2:Anoint each candle with oil and chant at least 9 times:

Dragons of Life and Strength I ask,

Renew my body for its tasks!

Help make me strong, lithe and free,

And accept my thanks now sent to thee!

Place the candles in a circle around the picture of the "patient" and light. 

Step 3: Charge the stones by chanting again 9 times:

Dragons of Life and Strength I ask,

Renew my body for its tasks!

Help make me strong, lithe and free,

And accept my thanks now sent to thee!

Place the three stones around the candle. 

Meditate a few minutes and visualize the desired end result of the spell. "See" yourself fully recovered and enjoying life to its fullest, your health problem a dim and distant memory. Allow the candle to burn down to the socket. Any candle remains (wax, stubs, whatever) should be placed in a green bag and kept in a safe place until you are fully recovered and then rinse them in salt water to break their connection to you before disposing of them.  Also, at this time it is appropriate to place offering of bread and milk outside as a "thank you" gift for those spirits who helped with your recovery.

Note: This spell can easily be done on behalf of another person. Just place either a photo of the person, or their name written on a piece of green paper, under the pentacle. The chant should then be modified as follows:

Dragons of Life and Strength I ask,

Renew (name)'s body for its tasks!

Help make him/her strong, lithe and free,

And accept our thanks now sent to thee!
