Color of the day: Pink Incense of the day: Thyme This quick spell makes a talisman to carry with you as a reminder that you really do want to break a particular habit. You'll need a small piece of paper, a black marker, a votive candle (I prefer black) in a holder, a match or lighter, a small glass jar (I use an 8-ounce canning jar), a glass of water, a piece of cotton fabric (I like black), and some cotton or wool string (again I prefer black). Write the habit you want to break in bold letters on the paper, then light the candle. Say what you have written on the paper three times. Let the candle burn down, then use it to carefully light the paper and let the ashes fall into the jar. Slowly pour the water into the jar to extinguish the flame, and stir the ashes into the watery wax. Place that on the cloth and let the water dry, then tie the bundle shut with the string. Keep this amulet as a reminder that you can and will break this habit. |
