Seeing as we’re coming up for a full moon soon (June 7th), I thought I would give you a few tips on how to make the best of this exciting and powerful time for magic. It is often reserved for major rituals and also for group work seeing as the moon has a very binding energy at this special time.
However, not everyone is in a position to work with others and you should not feel precluded from the fun if this is the case for you! I have included a basic spell to help you harness the moon’s power to help you fulfil a wish.
There are a few ingredients needed with this spell but you can be flexible. I find that anything white or silver works best. You will also need to check the weather in order for this spell to work as you will need a clear night with plenty of moonlight so in theory, this being summer, it is a good time of year for this to work - theory!
You will need a globe to represent the moon so a crystal ball is perfect for this. However, if this isn’t practical then you can use a crystal tumblestone. Something like snow quartz is absolutely perfect for this due to it’s lovely, pure white colour. You will also need some mineral water and a bowl, cauldron or chalice big enough to hold the globe or crystal. Fill this with the mineral water.
Take the globe in the palm of your hand and say:
I seek to hold the power of the moon in my hand
And draw its energy to me.
Place the globe in the water and say:
I see you within the water, both in representation and in reflection
I ask that you share your benevolent power with me tonight
And grant my wish.
Take a moment to see the moon’s reflection.
With the gift of your power granted and placed within the water
I accept and thank you for the honour of your visit tonight
Now sprinkle the moon water around you while visualising your wish:
I am surrounded and blessed by your gift to me
And ask that my wish is fulfilled.
Now speak your wish out loud and once again, thank the moon for sharing such a precious gift with you.
Good luck and let’s hope June 7th is a good night for witchery!

Free Spells - Spells From the Real Book of Shadows
I have been researching the concept of spells from the real book of shadows recently. This has got me thinking of how important it is to get the balance right between learning from others and creating and forging your own path in your quest to become the best witch you can be.
To briefly cover what I mean by spells from the real book of shadows - it is believed that there is an ancient text that contains old and powerful spells that can be used to great effect by the modern witch. Rather than relying on their own training and expertise, some people believe they can dip into this book and glean enough material to become powerful. Others are simply interested in finding a rich source of new ideas. So - hence the interest in spells from the real book of shadows!
Of course, it is not as cut and dried as all that. For starters, such a book does not exist in one single opus. But while such a book cannot be found, there are undoubtedly ancient spells and, very importantly, spells handed down through the generations. So the wisdom of our forbearers most definitely lives on.
So where does the balance lie? I believe it is in the meticulous use of your own, personal book of shadows. Keeping a record of the spells you perform and any effects and observations is absolutely critical and should not ever be underestimated. You can write the spells yourself or you can use another’s spell (one from my blog here is fine!) - but you should always ultimately be relying on your inner powers and instincts to adapt and learn. Note everything down in your book of shadows for future reference. If we all work together and share, one day future generations may be using spells from the real book of shadows - as written by US!
Loving blessings!

Free Spells - Summer Air Spell
Typical - I was going to start doing some spell work outside (and then writing about it!) but the weather hasn’t been very nice the last few days so I’m having to put this off. Never mind, there’s still lots you can do inside even if that short bout of warmth the other week has given you the urge to get into the fresh air!
I thought I would include a love spell that has a summery feel to it ( the summer is great for ‘air‘ spells) but it can be used at any time of year and therefore the ingredients can be found any season. However, one of the reasons I wanted to include it here is because it is lovely at sunset so it’s a bit easier to fit into your day when the days are long. It’s really simple and a favourite of mine but will require you to try to tune into your psychic senses J
Free Love Spell
Take 4 floral incense sticks -lavender, rose & ylang ylang are good.
A holder or ash collector for each one.
4 rose quartz tumble stones.
Line your incense sticks in front of you. Light the 1st one and recite the following:
“I whisper into the air, to open up the path to my future”
Light the 2nd and say:
“I whisper into the air, to bring forth my one true love to me”
Light the 3rd:
“I whisper into the air, to now open my heart to believe”.
Light the 4th stick:
“I whisper into the air, and ask his/her name be whispered back”.
Concentrate for a while and observe swirling of the smoke before you. Focus hard, using it as a divination tool much the same as you’d use a crystal ball or scrying mirror. Look beyond the smoke and then allow any images, noises or signs to filter through to you. Gather all the information in your mind in order to put together an image or general sense of your future special someone.
Now line up the crystals one by one alongside your lit incense sticks. Imagine each one to be creating the path to your door and to your heart. Now you have opened the connection to him or her, you are now calling them to you and inviting them into your life.
You may find that you dream of someone later on that evening so it can help to keep notes of any extra details that you pick up!

Free Spells - Wicca Symbols
Wicca symbols can bring more meaning to your spells than you possibly realise. There is certainly so much history behind them, but the importance goes beyond that. The Wicca symbols represent all that you should be aiming to connect with and understanding as a witch or as someone wanting to perform spells.There are many to go through and I will likely go into more detail about the others as they crop up in following posts. But today I’d like to go into the Wiccan pentacle as it is the core symbol and will give you a good grounding.
Used in so many rituals, the pentacle is the 5 pointed Wiccan symbol to represent earth, air, fire, water and spirit. It brings you together with the universal elements around you and calls on their power to aid you in your spell work, also asking you to give back your own spiritual energies as an offering. You are at one with the world around you and it flows back and forth; giving and receiving.
As it represents the universe around you it is often used to give protection so you can keep a pentacle on your altar as a permanent fixture, constantly providing you with assurance that you are perfectly safe. The pentacle can also be part of a spell ritual and you can include the drawing on the pentacle in the air using an wand or your athame.
One example of how to use a pentacle is in a banishing spell to rid yourself of a negative person or to stop them affecting you. Imagine a pentacle over their body or across their forehead. Imagine the pentacle with a blue, glowing radiance about it (blue also offers psychic protection) and imagine them being distanced or taken back away from you. You will feel their impact diminish.

Free Spells - Free Love Spell For Spring
It is the time of year that thoughts turn to love (in fact that might well have happened to you a few weeks ago!) so I thought a fresh, vibrant love based free spell made for spring was in order. This is best performed on a sunny day when the air feels clear and charged. The sort of day where you can’t help but smile. This will bring all the energy you need to you in order to channel it into your spell.
You will need:
Spring flowers such as daffodils. Small bunch and preferably freshly picked.
White Candle
Lovers Tarot Card
Lavender Incense
This is is a very simple free spell and will not take much experience to perform but obviously it will become more powerful as your skills develop.
So, what you need to do is:
Arrange the flowers in water and place on your workspace and say:
“Blossom of spring
I pray that you bring
Love to make my heart joyful”
Now light your lavender incense and say:
“Air of life
You know who he be
Whisper his presence to me”
Now you need to place your tarot card in front on you and focus on the image of the lovers and visualise this happiness that love will bring to you. Light the candle in honour of the Goddess of love, Aphrodite.
Say:
“O Gods and Goddesses of eternal wisdom
I come to you to ask of your powers
That you can send me a love of special worth and joy
Let him be known to me that I might make this happen
Aphrodite I pray to you to make him true and loving
And bless him with all the temperaments that you know to be right for me
Mote it be!”
Let these thoughts and desires fill your head as you watch the candle and can smell the incense. Let this sense of occasion and excitement surround you channel this energy through to the universe. When you feel that you are at one, you may hand over your trust and allow the higher powers to do your bidding!
Good luck with this week’s free spell! See you soon.

Free Spells - Writing Witch Spells
It occurred to me that, seeing as I had written an article on how to write your own witch spells on another site, I may as well include it here! So click here if you want to know more :)
But if you want a condensed version, here’s a few bullet points on where to start and what to do if attempting your own witch spells:
There’s much, much more info in the article so feel free to check it out :)

But if you want a condensed version, here’s a few bullet points on where to start and what to do if attempting your own witch spells:
Do not write curses or ‘black’ spells. This will come back to you threefold.
You can use rhyme to build rhythm and energy during your spell but it is not essential.
Keep spells basic until you know what works and what doesn’t.
Allow some leeway for the higher powers to give you something better than what you *think* you want, eg. Don’t ask to win money on the lottery and miss out on a cash prize elsewhere!
However, do be specific when it comes to the aim of your spell. This will help to guide the powers in exactly the right direction.
Include rose quartz, pink candles or the herb basil in your ingredients for love spells
Ask a Wiccan God or Goddess of your choice to bless you with what you desire. It helps to focus you.
There’s much, much more info in the article so feel free to check it out :)

Free Spells - Psychic Development & How It Helps Witch Spells
Not a free spell as such, but I thought it would be a good time to include how psychic powers can assist you in your spell making.
Many people keep witchcraft and psychic abilities completely separate but I feel that this is a waste of, what combined, can be a very potent force. You can, in my mind, double the impact of your spells by tuning into your extrasensory side.
Undoubtedly psychic development is a course in itself so I will not attempt to go into that here. But if you feel that you have a gift or are interested in using instincts or imagery to power up your spells, here’s a few starting points to get you thinking.
1) Firstly, let your intuition guide you towards the direction your spells should be taking. Has someone been in your thoughts a lot lately? Maybe a spell to send them increased luck or comforting would be good.
2) When writing and casting your spells, add that you would like the subject of the spell to visit your dreams. For example, if you want love you can ask that you increase the connection by dreaming of your heart’s desire. :)
3) Use relevant tarot cards in your rituals. Seeking a good marriage? Try including the 4 of Wands in your spell. Could do with some good luck? Bring in the Wheel of Fortune!
4) Ask your guides to join forces with you and send you their love and energy to assist you in making your spell a success. Don’t forget to thank them afterwards.
5) Use clairvoyant powers to adapt your spells. Dedication to your spell is great, but being too rigid is not. Do not ignore your inner voice if it is telling you that the outcome will not be as you want it to be. Meaning? I have often seen people try to use spell craft to get someone to change, eg. A wayward boyfriend or cheating spouse. Deep down we often know that this is impossible but wishful thinking spurs us on nevertheless. Don’t fall into that trap. Let your intuition guide you and instead redirect the spell to bring the love you deserve into your life.
Hope this helps you to bring something extra into your spell work.
