Unicorn Spells

Dear unicorn devotee, in this final chapter you will find magical practices—formulas, recipes, charms, and incantations—specifically created for you, the unicorn-loving spiritual practitioner. Each is designed to help you bring about a specific condition in your life and in the world.

After all, as a unicorn ally and initiate, you have magical power to create positive change according to your will and intentions. You do this by aligning with the Divine—also known as the Infinite, the Great Mystery, and God/Goddess/All That Is—in order to shift energy in such a way that your experience of the physical world shifts as well.

If you think you’ve never done spells or rituals before, you’re wrong! If you will recall, the portal key exercise in chapter six was actually a somewhat involved magical ritual. In fact, when you invoked the elements for that ritual, you were casting a magical circle. Before the rituals you’ll find below, you might like to repeat the circle-casting process in order to create sacred space before working your magic. You can also just perform the rituals as they’re written. Follow your intuition and create magic in a way that feels right to you.

The other portal key exercises were also forms of magical work, so you are actually quite a bit more experienced than you previously may have realized.

But in case you still feel like somewhat of a beginner, think of each magical endeavor you embark on as an experiment, and have fun with it. Remember that the most important ingredients (and ultimately the only ingredients you really need) are your clear intention and your conscious connection with All That Is. The rest is just really fun and sparkly window dressing. Or, more specifically, the ingredients and instructions are like focal points or anchors that help you to connect with the Infinite while setting your sights on your desired goal.

As you perform some of the rituals and spells outlined below, you’ll begin to learn to follow your intuition, and in no time you’ll be crafting your own practices to perfectly fit your preferences and goals. If you’re wondering which one to start with, as you read, notice the practices that particularly appeal to you and that unmistakably fill you with blissful beauty and sparkly serenity. That’s your intuition giving you a nudge.

Most of the practices in this chapter are optional and may or may not feel appropriate according to your current goals and situation. Still, there is one I highly suggest you perform at some point soon, and that’s the final unicorn portal exercise. It is a celebration of all you’ve learned and your final initiation into the magical, majestic, mystical realm of the unicorn.

Spells for Happiness and Joy

Let’s begin with one of our most fundamental desires as humans: the desire to feel joy. These rituals will help you find happiness and rediscover your harmonious nature.

Sunshine Spell to Break
through the Gloom

This spell is perfect for dissolving a gloomy mood, reversing negative momentum, and generally opening the skylights to the sunshine of happiness and joy.

Ingredients

Perform this ritual somewhere pleasant outside, on the day of a new moon, when the sun is bright and shining. It can be in a yard, garden, park, or serene natural setting, provided you’re certain you won’t be disturbed.

Sit comfortably and relax in front of the mirror and flowers. Take some deep breaths and center your mind. Feel the solid earth beneath you and the vibrant sun on your face and shoulders. When you feel sufficiently grounded and present, call on your solar unicorn guide by saying,

[Name of solar unicorn guide],
I call you to my side.
Please dissolve the gloom and turn the tide.
Inner sunshine grant to me
So I am blissful, happy, and free.

Breathe deeply as you feel the sunshine cleansing your body, mind, and spirit and disinfecting you of old, lingering shadows. After you feel sufficiently cleansed, hold the mirror up to the sun to absorb the energy of the sunlight. (Be sure to aim it upward so it doesn’t catch anything on fire.)

After just a minute or so, wrap the mirror in the cloth to contain the energy within it. Say:

[Name of solar unicorn guide],
I thank you deeply and well
For answering my call and fulfilling my spell.

Feel gratitude in your heart for a moment or two longer, then go home with all the ingredients in tow. Place the wrapped mirror and flowers on your unicorn altar. First thing each morning for the next moon cycle—and whenever you need an extra dose of sunshine—unveil the mirror and aim the reflective side at the center of your chest area. Feel yourself receiving a shot of brightness and joy directly into your heart. Then wrap it back up and place it back on your altar. Leave the daisies until they’re past their prime, and then lovingly release them to the earth or a compost bin.

Moonlight Spell to Wake up to Wonder

Has life become ho-hum and humdrum? If so, this must absolutely change, as wonder—if you will recall from the first chapter—is the only truly appropriate response to this wonderfully wondrous life experience. This spell will help you reawaken your latent sense of wonder.

Ingredients

On the night of a full moon, bathe and dress in something clean and white. When the moon is shining brightly in the sky, go outside to where you will be both safe and undisturbed. Stand in the moonlight. Take some deep breaths until you feel centered and calm. With your unicorn crystal in hand, open the bottle of ylang-ylang oil and take a whiff. Savor the scent as you feel yourself soaking in the moon’s silvery rays. Call on your lunar unicorn guide by saying:

[Name of lunar unicorn guide], please be here now:
Gallop with the moonlight’s gentle glow.

Feel your guide arrive. Feel blessed by its luminous presence. Say:

I thank you, sweet [name], for answering my call.
Please awaken me now to the magic of all.

Smell the ylang-ylang again, gaze at the beauty of your unicorn crystal, and continue to absorb the moon’s rays. Feel that they are illuminating and enhancing your awareness of the magic of life, charging you up like a magical battery. Stay for as long as it feels right, and then thank your unicorn guide one last time from the bottom of your heart. The spell is complete.

Rainbow Charm to Fill
Your Home with Joy

This fragrant and colorful charm will bless a home with wave upon wave of joyful energy. Make it for yourself or give it as a gift.

Ingredients

First, empower all ingredients by placing them in bright sunlight for 1–2 minutes. Then tie the rosemary into a bunch with the ribbons, placing the ribbons end to end and tying them in a bow. Hold the charm in both open palms and visualize bright, beautiful rainbow energy filling and surrounding the home in a blinding blitz of color. Inwardly summon your connection with the unicorn realm to powerfully bless the space with love, light, laughter, and every wonderful thing. Feel gratitude and know that it is done.

The best place for the charm is on or above the front door, inside or out. You can refresh it regularly (perhaps every few months or so) by removing the ribbons, releasing the rosemary to the earth or a moving body of water, and repeating the process with nine fresh sprigs of rosemary.

Spells forWealth and Prosperity

This is an abundant planet, and the universe wants to support you in every possible way. These spells can help you tap into the natural flow of prosperity that is your birthright.

Full Moon Charm for
Financial Increase

This spell will supercharge your wealth. After performing it, you will notice an increase of financial opportunities and windfalls. For best results, work in tandem with the universe to stimulate your finances. In other words, be sure to act on any intuitive nudges you receive and to work hard if a lucrative prospect is presented to you.

Ingredients

On the evening of a full moon, after moonrise, assemble all ingredients. You can do this indoors or out, as long as you won’t be disturbed.

Call on your lunar unicorn guide by saying:

[Name of lunar unicorn guide], I call to you.
Please lend your magic bright and true.

Hold the moonstone in your open right palm. Say:

On this sweet and magic night,
I create this charm with full moon’s light.
May wealth and increase now be mine,
As with abundance I align.

Imagine what it will feel like to have plenty of money flowing in: more than you expected, more than you dreamed of. Feel those feelings now. Dial them up and celebrate as if you are already experiencing this abundant financial flow. Feel gratitude.

Tie the moonstone into the fabric with the ribbon. Anoint it with a drop of the cinnamon oil. (Be careful not to get the oil on your skin, as it is a harsh irritant.) Say:

Like the moon whose light abounds,
My wealth shall grow in leaps and bounds.
With joy that my wealth shall grow and swell,
[Name of lunar unicorn guide], I thank you well.

Place the charm on your altar. Keep it there for at least three additional full moons, refreshing the cinnamon oil at each one.

Waterfall Spell to Attract
a New Income Stream

This is a powerful nature spell that will help you attract one or more new generous streams of income.

Ingredient

Near the waterfall, take some deep breaths and center yourself. When you feel relaxed, consciously draw upon your connection to the unicorns and the unicorn realm. Remember your portal keys and all your earnest efforts to tap into the unicorns’ generous powerhouse of magic and mastery. Then set the clear and strong intention to draw one or more generous streams of income into your life and bank account. Feel the feelings that go along with this as if you have already fully manifested this goal into form. Step into the waterfall. Feel the water streaming around you like an unending flow of money and wealth, activating your prosperity and tuning your vibration to the frequency of abundance.

If you don’t have easy access to a safe waterfall, you can also do this spell by safely wading in a stream, facing upstream, and letting the water rush around your calves.

Cinnamon Spell to
Conjure up Some Cash

Money is just a form of energy. If you ever find you are in immediate need of a pile of the stuff, you can use your unicorn-aligned sorcery skills to call in that cash.

Ingredients

Before sunrise, find your way to a unicorn botanical (tree, flower, or herb—see chapter seven) growing somewhere outside. The more unicorn-aligned the area (i.e., the more likely you perceive it to be the potential stomping grounds for unicorns), the better. With the cinnamon stick in your left hand and the apple in your right, stand comfortably and face east. Breathe and relax, feeling your feet anchored into the earth. Continue to relax and settle your mind until you see the first rays of the sun. As the sun just peeks above the horizon, place the apple on the ground next to the unicorn botanical and say:

Unicorn dwelling on this sacred land,
I offer this gift to you straight from my hand.
I am also here to request a boon:
Please make me a magnet for cash, and soon!
Your magic’s more precious than credit or banks,
So from deep in my heart, I offer you thanks.

Hold the cinnamon stick in your open hands, cupped and facing out toward the rising sun. Feel the morning sunlight pouring into the cinnamon stick, enlivening it with magnetic and magical energy. Inwardly or aloud, give thanks once more to the unicorn that dwells on the land. Also thank the earth, the sky, and the rising sun. Keep the cinnamon stick with you until you receive the cash you need.

Spells for Romance and Friendship

Your true identity is love. This means it’s natural for you to have a healthy love life and harmonious friendships. If you need support in these areas, these spells can help.

Sparkle Bath to Attract a New Romance

This sensational sparkle bath will attract a new romance into your life.

Ingredients

On a Friday when the moon is between new and full, light the candle in your bathroom and draw a warm bath by candlelight. When the bathtub is full, stand over it, hold your crystal in your right hand, and point it toward the water. Say:

Unicorn realm of sparkle and light,
I ask your help with love this night.
Very soon please help me meet
A new love interest true and sweet.

Feel sparkly light coming down from the highest sky, entering the crown of your head, moving down to your heart, down through your right arm, out of your crystal and into the water. When this feels complete, set the crystal near the bathtub, toss the sparkle bomb in the water, and get in after it. Soak for at least twenty minutes, feeling your body and energy field being drenched in the sparkly light of love. (This is not a time to wash, just to soak.)

When you get out of the bath, dry off and say:

Unicorns, thank you, thank you, thank you
For all you are and all you do!

Extinguish the candle and dress in something clean and lovely (pajamas or going-out clothes, according to your plans). Expect a new love interest to arrive in your life or be revealed from within your current circle of contacts within one moon cycle.

Lilac Spell to Repair a Relationship

While not all relationships can or should be repaired (sometimes the best option is to walk away), there are some that are worth salvaging. If the relationship in question is the latter (whether friend, family, or love interest), this spell will help.

Ingredients

Near your unicorn altar, or anywhere (indoors or out) where you won’t be disturbed and that feels right for magic, sit comfortably in front of all the ingredients. Take some deep breaths and center your mind. When you feel relaxed and grounded, consciously connect with the unicorn realm. You can do this by calling your unicorn guides, picturing a unicorn or the unicorn realm in your mind, or conjuring up the feelings of bliss you get when you think about unicorns. When you feel tapped into your magic, put a tiny bit of aloe vera gel on your name and say:

May I now heal my heart.

Put a tiny bit of aloe vera gel on the other person’s name and say:

May [name of person]’s heart now heal.

Place the rectangles of paper together so that the written names are touching each other. Say:

May our relationship now be repaired.

Put the rectangles of paper at the bottom of the jar and place the blossom on top. Say:

Blessings of beauty.

Pour maple syrup over the top of all of it and say:

Blessings of sweetness.

Close the lid and say:

Brought together in love, for the highest good of all.
Thank you, unicorns.
Thank you, Infinite Love.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Blessed be. And so it is.

Place the jar on your unicorn altar. Keep it there for one moon cycle, and then bury its contents at the base of a tree (ideally a unicorn-aligned tree—see chapter seven), using a spoon or small spatula to scoop it out. Rinse the jar, allow it to dry in bright sunlight, and feel free to reuse it in the future.

Angel Aura Spell to Attract
Magical Friendships

We all need friends we love: people we can count on to laugh with us, comfort us when we cry, and help us out when we need a hand. Unicorn people like us also need at least one or two of those friends to share our magical, mysterious, wild, and wonderful worldview. This spell will help you attract friends who encompass all of the above.

Ingredient:

With the crystal in your left hand, sit comfortably in front of your unicorn altar. Relax and settle in as you take some long deep breaths. Then let your breathing be natural, but continue to notice as you breathe in and out. Continue being aware of your body and breathing until you feel very calm, clear, and centered.

Next, hold the crystal to your third eye as if it is a unicorn’s horn. Imagine it is like an antennae broadcasting your signal as a unicorn devotee and initiate who is drawing upon your connection with the unicorns to summon others of like mind. Say:

Unicorns of the realm with which I’m aligned,
Please send human allies of similar mind.
Let us sparkle and dance and play in the sun,
And spin spells in moonlight for love and for fun.
Please send out my signal so it’s loud and clear,
Please send out my signal to those who would hear.
I thank you, dear unicorns, for answering my call,
Thank you, oh thank you, to one and to all.

Place the crystal on your altar, and leave it there until your spell has had its desired effect.

Spells for Health and Healing

Heal yourself on the magical level and all other forms of healing will follow. These spells will help you establish holistic wellness inside and out.

Red Clover Potion for
Healing the Heart

If your heart is aching or broken, you feel uncomfortably sensitive to the painful emotions of others, or you’re healing from any sort of emotional pain, this potion can help.

Ingredients

Using the strainer, tea ball, or muslin bag, brew a cup of clover blossom tea. Allow it to steep for 10–15 minutes, strain or remove tea ball or tea bag, then drink. As you drink, feel your heart light becoming stronger, brighter, and healthier. Feel yourself being fortified with courage and infused with love. Repeat daily for as long as your heart could use some extra support.

Cedar Spell to Speed Physical Healing

This simple practice will help speed physical healing for yourself or someone else.

Ingredients

Sit in front of your unicorn altar. Relax, breathe deeply, and center yourself. When you feel ready, hold the bottle of cedar essential oil in both hands. Consciously draw upon your connection to the unicorn realm. Tap into the pure strengthening and healing vibrations that are in the unicorn’s magical repertoire and consciously channel them into the bottle. See and sense the bottle becoming filled with golden-white light like the sun. Feel gratitude and inwardly thank the unicorns for sharing their magical healing power. Place the diffuser in the same room with the healing person and diffuse the cedar. Diffuse for at least an hour each day while the patient is near, refreshing the oil regularly, for as long as is needed.

Apple Ritual for Boosting
Health and Immunity

This ritual will help bring back your natural state of vibrant health and powerful immunity.

Ingredients

On a Sunday when the moon is between new and full, place the plate of apples in bright sunlight for a minute or two. Imagine them soaking in the bright, bolstering light and becoming vibrant, glowing powerhouses of magical healing energy.

Next, call on your solar unicorn guide. While holding an image of this guide in your mind’s eye, eat an apple and feel yourself internalizing the powerful light of the sun. Tomorrow repeat with another apple. Continue daily (for five days total) until you’ve eaten every apple.

Spells for Luck and Success

Do you feel lucky? If not, these spells have got you covered. The time is right to step into an expansive field of endless success.

Centaury Courage Potion

Before luck or success can manifest, we must have the courage to put ourselves out there and give ourselves a chance. This potion is simple, but it’s just the thing for super-sensitive unicorn people who are tired of hiding in the shadows and are ready to step out into the sun.

Ingredients

Please note that a flower essence is a gentle homeopathic remedy that is taken internally. This is something entirely different than an essential oil, which contains highly concentrated plant material and should not be taken internally.

Twice a day for thirty days, turn your everyday drinking water into a potion by adding two drops of centaury flower essence directly from the dropper that comes in the bottle. Then, hold your drinking water bottle in both hands, call on your solar and unicorn guides and ask them to infuse your water with an extra dose of courage. Feel/sense/imagine yourself feeling joyful as you speak out boldly, try the things you want to try, and do the things you want to do. (This can take less than a minute.) Drink the water throughout the day as you usually would.

Mint Luck-Welcoming Ritual

This ritual employs the fresh magic of mint to invite luck into your home and life.

Ingredients

Just before or during sunrise on the day of a new moon, place the potted mint plants in your front yard, somewhere where you will walk through them to get to your front door. They could be on either side of the front door itself, on either side of your doorstep, or anywhere along the walk. Stand between them and face away from your house. Call in the unicorns by saying (or whispering or even saying to yourself silently) something like this:

Unicorns, I call you! Please send your magic to these mint plants. May they be lucky, and may they fill my life with luck. Thank you!

Every time you water your mint, feel you are feeding the magic. And when you walk between the pots, feel you are being blessed and enlivened with lucky energy. Remember that herbs like to be picked, so as your mint grows and thrives, be sure to harvest some of it now and then so it will continue to thrive. (Of course, anything you add it to will have an extra dose of luck.)

When the growing season has ended and your mint ceases to thrive, harvest what you can and uproot the rest. Add it back to the earth or to a compost bin. Replace each pot with one of the clear quartz crystals to retain the lucky energy and hold the space for next year. Then, when the time is right in your area, replace the plants with two fresh ones and repeat the ritual once more.

Moonstone Success Charm

Sunlight and sunny energy are usually used for success charms, but this one comes at it from a subtler (but no less powerful) angle, perfect for many of us sensitive unicorn types. You might want to weave this bit of magic before an endeavor you care about, such as a job interview, a test, a presentation, etc.

Ingredients

On the night of a full moon, when the moon is bright, find somewhere safe outside where you will be undisturbed. Hold the moonstone jewelry in your open right palm so it can soak in the moonlight. Summon your lunar unicorn guide by lovingly speaking its name. When you feel your guide’s presence in the moonlight, say:

Thank you for being here, guide of the moon.
Thank you for granting this magical boon.
This luminous moonstone I ask you to bless,
So I may be bathed in the light of success.

Feel and sense your charm being infused with the magical energy you’ve summoned. Take another moment to feel even more gratitude for your unicorn guide’s blessing, then hold the charm to your heart. Wear it when you want to ensure your success.

For more than one endeavor, refresh the magic by repeating the spell on a subsequent full moon.
