HEALTH SPELL
Description:
This is actually an example of candle magick. Grind some nutmeg and mix it into
the wax as you prepare the candle. Add some vanilla extract to the wax for smell.
Light the candle and let the fumes fill your house.
This works well against the flu and the dreaded cold.
If you combine this with some jewel therapy remember that sapphire is a general
enchanter and that agate is said to reduce fever.
TO MAKE A CANDLE:
First you will need to buy a sheet of wax from a craft or hobby store.
Cut it into several chunks and fill a coffee can roughly half full with it.
Place the can in a pot that has water in it. The water level should not be higher than the
can because sometimes water will spill or boil over. Heat the pot of water and when the
wax has turned into a fairly clear liquid, use a pair of tongs to pour it into a frame.
Some people make their own frames out of sheet metal. Keep the frame upside down
and suspend a wick with an extended rod, letting the wick hang down with a little extra
at the end to light. It's okay to use empty tuna fish cans to create votives and feel free to
experiment with other designs.

WAX IMAGE HEALING SPELL
Ingredients: A wax doll (in Red for strength or Green for regeneration).
You can buy these at occult shops or make one yourself.
Try to make the image look as much like the person in need of healing as possible.
Of course, unless you are a budding Rodin, it's not going to look a hell of a lot like the
person but it must be anatomically correct and look enough like the person that your
visualization will be strong and intense. This is critical because the point of this exercise
is to identify this image with the person. If you can obtain some hair or nail parings or an
object or objects that the person has touched, that can help a great deal in identifying
the doll as the person. When you have prepared the doll, cast the circle. Take the doll
gently in your hands. Every step of the way remember that for the purposes of this spell
the doll is the person in need of healing so treat it gently and respectfully.
Cradle the doll in your hands and say
I name you (person's name) with the blessings of The Sun and The Moon.
Envision yourself filled with the white-golden light that pervades the Universe.
Visualize it flowing through you and into the doll (which is the sick person's stand-in).
Visualize this person absorbing light and healing energy from your hands.
Visualize them filled with well-being of body and mind, drawing power from The Sun, The Moon,
The Earth. Use this intense to fill them with the stamina and strength to overcome this illness.
Sustain the visualization until the time feels right and then incant:
With this spell, I have bathed (person's name) in the light of The Sun and The Moon.
(Person's name) is bathed in healing.
Healing is working in (person's name's) body and every cell in his/her body is
strengthened and revitalized and all illness is carried away from him/her. So mote it be!
Now take the doll and lovingly bind it with string.
Say, (person's name) I wrap you up in health.
Then gently wrap the doll up in the cloth and put it away in a safe place where you are
sure it will not be disturbed. Once the spell has worked, it is essential that you dispose of
this wax image in the correct way. This can be done by taking it to a body of water, then
unwrapping it from the string and clothe and then saying:
This is no longer (person's name). It is now merely a thing of wax.
Then break it into pieces and throw each piece into the water.
Incantation: Return to the elements from whence you came.

SPELL FOR HEALING SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY
Prepare an envelope from a square of paper that you have folded -
If you do not know how to do this, you can use a very small letter envelope.
On the envelope write the word "Health". (some prefer to write this using runes
or other alphabet) Then write the name(s) of the person you are directing the healing toward.
Enclose the following herbs into the envelope: Angelica, Burdock, Galangal, Horehound,
Elder, Lavender, Lemon Balm, Mandrake Root, Rose, Rue, Sassafras, and Yellowdock.
(I know it's a lot but this has worked for me many times)
Chant the following:
"I charge these herbs to aid my spell,
that _______ (name of person) will be well,
That by free will that can be blessed,
with total health and happiness,
I ask the Goddess to hear my call,
that it may be correct and for the good of all."
Pass the envelope through your altar candle and catch the envelope on fire.
Focus on the smoke and visualize the energy blowing with the smoke toward those in need.
Allow the envelope to burn completely - I recommend putting the burning paper into the
cauldron or other fire safe container.
"I call upon a breath of wind,
Empowered by the Spirit of Air,
To carry my spell toward my kin,
and gracefully deliver it there.
By all the power of three times three,
this spell bound around shall be,
To cause no harm, nor return on me,
As I do will, So mote it be!"

CRYSTAL AND COLOR VISUALIZATION SPELL FOR HEALING
Invoke the Goddess and God. Light some candles and herbs of the correct
healing property. Place the crystal in between the Goddess and God candle
and say:
O great goddess
Shine your lunar ray of light upon this crystal
Great Goddess charge this stone with healing power
O great god
Shine you solar ray of light upon this crystal
Great God empower this stone with your magic light
Blessed be
Now tough the crystal with your left hand and visualize a Luna and solar ray of
light shining down on the crystal. Feel the energies flowing through the stone.
Now hold the crystal with its point toward your body with your right hand and visualize
a light of the correct healing color radiating from the crystal to the area of you body
where you are sick, Imagine the light healing your body. Now point the crystal away
from your body and visualize the negative energies moving out of your body through
the crystal. This rite is over.

HEALING CANDLE SPELL
You will need 7 candles. One white for the Lady, one yellow for the Lord.
One orange for encouragement and attraction, one for yourself according to your astral
color, and three red candles for strength and health. You can burn some type of light
incense if you like. Light the Lord and Lady candles first then light the incense.
Sit for a few moments and think of goodness and health coming into you.
Light the petitioner's candle and picture the person and say:
Here is ________ in excellent health.
Blessings from the Lord & Lady be upon him.
Light the orange candle and say:
This flame draws all that is good to _________.
It draws health and strength and all he desires.
Light red candles saying:
Here is health and strength three fold.
Take into _________ to serve and build him as the Lord and Lady would wish.
Sit and meditate on your good health you desire. Extinguish the candles.
Repeat this every Friday for 7 days, each time moving the red candles closer to the
petitioner candle. On the 7th Friday they should touch the petitioner's candle.

A SPELL FOR SELF HEALING
A spell to be performed on the new moon.
The length is for seven more days after the spell has been performed.
What you will need:
--A picture of yourself at your most low point or at an event that had a negative effect on you.
--Fresh mint leaves
--One black candle - ( black is a protective color)
--A new name for yourself- a symbol of your rebirth, a new beginning, a new you!

and putting them in a cup of white vinegar and sealing it. Let it sit for at least 24 hrs.

For seven more evenings bathe in salt water and anoint yourself with the mint vinegar, all
the while repeating your new affirmation.

MAGIC HEALING HERBAL BALM
Herbs: Calendula (Calendula officinalis) and Plantain (Plantago major)
This sweet-smelling balm soothes and protects cuts and scrapes.
And it's so gentle you can even use it on diaper rash.
Calendula and plantain are known for their ability to speed skin healing.
Both soften skin, relieve pain, and are antibacterial.
How to make it: This is a two-step process.
First, you'll make an herb-infused oil: In a large glass jar, combine 2 tablespoon each of crushed
Calendula flowers and dried plantain leaves with 1/3 c of extra-virgin olive oil.
Leave uncovered, and place in a pan filled with enough water to cover the lower half of the jar.
Set the burner on very low heat and simmer gently for about 4 hours.
Check the oil periodically to be sure it's not scorching; don't let it boil.
(You can also make the infused oil in a Crock-Pot set on very low without a lid.)
After the allotted time, remove the oil from the heat and allow it to cool completely.
Strain away the herbs through several layers of cheesecloth and discard.
To make the balm, combine the infused oil with 1 or 2 tablespoon of grated beeswax
and put it into a small stainless steel bowl; set the bowl into a pot of water and heat just
until the beeswax melts, stirring gently to help the melting.
To test the consistency, insert a cool metal spoon into the balm and check the balm that
sticks to the spoon; it should be spreadable but firm. If it's too oily, add another few
shavings of beeswax. At this point, you can add a natural preservative to your balm to
prevent spoilage. Vitamin E, squeezed from capsules, works very well.
Rosemary extracts or oil might improve the aroma and antiseptic properties as well.
You'll need about 1/4 tsp. (two capsules) to preserve this much balm.
After you've blended in the vitamin E, transfer your final product to a sterile glass jar.
Use a clean spoon or small spatula to transfer the balm to avoid introducing bacteria to the jar.
How to use it: Apply the balm to rashes, scrapes, and other small or superficial abrasions
(don't use it on deep cuts). You can also apply it regularly to help heal chronically chapped skin.
Stored in a cool, dark place, the balm should keep for up to a year. Discard if it smells rancid.

BUBBLE HEALING SPELL
Prep work: 5 small bowls Incense [burn spearmint and allspice on charcoal]
Bubbles and bubble wand Food coloring: green, blue, red, yellow
[Mix each color of food coloring in each bowl with a portion of the bubble solution,
and in the 5th bowl add a small portion of each color to a portion of the bubble solution]
Cleanse your sacred area, cast the circle, call the Quarters, invoke the God and The Goddess,
and light the incense. Begin by meditating on the purpose of the bubbles and healing. Visualize
the healing within each bowl and see the solutions glow with a white light. Either with a
picture of the sick person or with the actual person at hand, blow the red bubbles and say
3 times: "Fire from above and Fire from below, Take the illness and pain, And into the fire
we watch it go, Burn it away as this life will not ail but gain" Blowing the blue bubbles, say
3 times: "Water from above and water from below, Washing away the burnt illness and pain,
Taking it from this physical form, Wash it away as this life will not ail but gain" Blowing the
yellow bubbles, say 3 times: "Air from above and Air from below, Blowing far away in the
shape of a bubble the washed illness and pain, Keeping it all trapped in the bubble and
drying the body and the soul, Blowing it away as this life will not ail but gain" Blowing the
green bubbles, say 3 times: "Earth all around and Earth from below, Bury this bubble that
trapped the illness and pain, Keeping it from harming any friend or foe, Bury it deep far away
as this life will not ail but gain" Blowing the bubbles of all 4 colors, say 3 times: "Within these
healing bubbles, I have called the power of the corners to heal, Taking away all the ailments
and troubles, No more pain or ailment for this body and soul to feel" Thank The Goddess
and The God, release the Quarters, and close the Circle.

MAGIC MONEY SOAP
(can be used for healing, love, etc also)
The easiest way to do it would be to take a bar of pure olive oil soap, or if you can't get
that, a bar of glycerin soap, and cut it into shavings. Melt this slowly in a double
boiler, or in a pan over boiling water, and mix the shavings with a bit of water so they
don't stick together in the pan. When you have a nice, smooth consistency to work
with, you can add empowered ingredients. Good ingredients to add would be:
-money herbs and oils, such as patchouli, mint, basil, cinquefoil, ginger, sage,
Tonka, nutmeg, oak moss and lemon balm.
-empowered gold glitter
-Green vegetable coloring (or whatever color you correspond money and prosperity with)
Once you have added your ingredients, let the mixture cool slightly until you can start
forming it in your hands. You can now roll it into balls, wrap them up in some
cheesecloth or muslin, and let them harden.
An easier way to make a quick money soap is to purchase some melt & pour glycerin from
a craft store - I think they even have it at Wal-Mart. It's sold in blocks. Melt the blocks in
glassware over the stove or on the microwave until it is liquid.
Add your empowered ingredients quickly, as melt & pour sets fast.
Next, pour the mixture into a mold (these can be purchased also, or you can make
molds from just about anything from margarine tubs to juice cans to empty toilet paper
rolls with foil on one end) and let the soap set.
Melt and pour soap is easier to work with, because you can add your ingredients much
easier, and you don't end up with so much soap afterwards. You can also make bars
that are individual to your needs. For example, try pouring half the mixture into the mold,
add a toy coin or a plastic dollar sign which you have empowered, then pour the rest into the mold.
When hardened, you will have a soap with an empowered item in the middle of it.
You could even put a charged stone in the middle of the soap.
Creating the soap with your individuality only makes it more powerful.
The best part? The above directions can be used for any magickal goal, not just money!
One more thing, when using your soap, concentrate clearly on your intentions and visualize!
For money, visualize the soap attracting the money to you.
For illness, visualize the soap cleaning the illness out of you.
