A SPELL TO RELIEVE HOPELESSNESS

We are all faced with a hopeless situation at some time in our lives. This spell will give outstanding results and can make you see things more clearly and cope better. The magic works in a way that will bring about your attunement with your angel, who may speak to you through your subconscious while you are asleep or during a meditation. You will certainly have a calmer approach to life and a feeling of well-being after you have conducted the spell.

Day:	Any of the week
Moon phase:	Any
Candle color:	Pale blue or white

You are about to summon your spiritual guide or guardian angel. Every person has a guide that works with him or her through life, and with this spell, you will be asking your guide to move closer to you and help you overcome your problem.

• You only need to bless your candle. It is not necessary to anoint or inscribe it.
• Light the candle, and place it in the center of your pentagram.
• Sit quietly in front of your altar, meditating on the lit candle.
• Close your eyes, and clear your mind.
• Take several deep breaths.
• Try to focus on the darkness behind your closed eyes; you may see lights or images.
• Continue with this until you feel totally relaxed.
• Imagine that you are in a cocoon of light; feel the warmth encircling you.
• Instead of saying this invocation out loud, say it in your mind. Remember that you must mean every word and concentrate on every thought. Keep your eyes closed, and say the following in your head:

O, beautiful angel of mine, please hear my plea today,

My life is distressing, and I require your help to move forward.

I can see no solution to my problems; I can see no way ahead.

Bring your wisdom into my mind, and help me find the answers.

Walk alongside me until I can see my way clearly.

Envelop me in your love forever.

And So mote it be.

Now concentrate on your problem, while imagining how you would like things to be; imagine the perfect situation. Continue sitting and meditating for about fifteen minutes. You can spend longer on this if you wish. Before you leave the spell, open your eyes, and look into the flame of the candle. You may feel quite light-headed after this spell, but that is not unusual.

Many people report that they see their guide during this ritual, or that the problem they were facing suddenly disappears. When you have completed the spell, wait one hour, then blow out the candle, watching the smoke rise upward.

A SPELL TO ENHANCE YOUR PSYCHIC ABILITY

This spell is essential to those of you who wish to take up spell-casting seriously. You should practice this spell every day for a week. Being well on the way to becoming a practicing witch, you must work to develop your psychic gifts. Perform this spell frequently for speedy results.

You will soon find yourself picking up small things on a psychic level—such as knowing who's on the other end of the phone before you answer it or dreaming about something that comes true. Your ability will develop steadily as you go along. It will help if you also focus on communicating with your guide and visualize yourself doing so, then put this idea into an imaginary ball and throw it out into the universe, because that should intensify the spell.

Day:	Any day of the week
Moon phase:	Any
Candle color:	White or purple

• Bless and inscribe the candle with your name and “To become psychic.”
• Anoint the candle, and place in the center of your pentagram.
• Light the candle.
• It is best to be very quiet when you are performing this spell.
• Say your protection prayer for whichever day it is.
• Perform your visualization with the glass ball while you sit before your altar.
• Recite the following once:

Angels of the cosmos, cast thy light toward me.

Give me psychic perception and insight so that I may

Communicate with life's forces.

I require the clairvoyance so that I may grow

And predict the future for all.

The spell is cast,

And So mote it be.

Meditate upon the candle for a few minutes before letting it burn down and out.

A SPELL FOR WORLD PEACE

I summon all the angels of the universe

To look upon the earth and see the destruction that flows upon it.

Bring understanding to all those who plan to destroy.

Let them see that we have this precious creation you have given us.

Let no man starve, let no man destroy.

Let peace reign forevermore.

[Recite this nine times, then say:]

So mote it be.

[Then let the candle burn down and out.]
