			<title>Bubble, Bubble,  Take My Trouble</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10031</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The Sun just moved into Gemini and the days are lengthening. This is the perfect time to create some fun, but that's hard to do when things are overwhelming. This lively bubble spell will help banish those blues. You'll need a bottle of toy bubbles. Go outside and blow the bubbles into the breeze, saying:Bubble, bubble, take my troubles, carry them on the breeze. Lighten my load and quiet my mind, let my heart find peace. The more lighthearted and carefree you are while doing this, the stronger your magic will be. Sing. Dance. Play. Let your inner child run loose! (I sometimes do this while playing with children at gatherings. Their squeals of delight are contagious.)A homemade bubble recipe is 3 cups water, andfrac12; cup white corn syrup, and a cup of regular strength Joy dish soap. This makes a very strong bubble, which the breeze can carry far away!]]></description>

For this spell you will need a single feather.Hold the feather in your hand and envision yourself standing before an engaged audience, speaking confidently and effortlessly. Imagine the energy of Gemini and Leo filling you, granting you clarity and magnetism. Wave the feather through the air in front of you as if tracing the path of your voice reaching and captivating those who listen. Say aloud:Gemini's words and Leo's fire, Grant me the charm that I desire. With feather's flight my voice takes wing; I captivate as I speak and sing. Imagine the feather holding this energy of confident expression. Keep it close to you or in a special place where you can touch it when you need an extra boost of charisma.]]></description>

			<title>Opening the  Spiritual Channel</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10029</link>
			<description><![CDATA[In expanding our spirituality, we become a more receptive conduit for messages and information from deities and our guides. We will be using color and candle magic to open ourselves up to all of the messages that are meant for us.For this spell you will need a purple or white chime or tealight candle. To create sacred space, cast a simple circle by visualizing a sphere of white light surrounding you. Take a deep breath and focus on Hermes, the messenger god. When you have him in your mind, light your candle in a heatsafe container where it can safely burn until it is out. After the flame is lit, say:May any messages find me through the firelight, as the candle burns brightly through the night.Keep a journal or paper and pen with you. You may have insights throughout the day or in your dreams at night. Over the next two weeks, keep track of repeated images, songs, or situations that keep presenting themselves. These messages are being brought to your attention by your guides or by a deity and need your attention.]]></description>

			<title>Protective Mandala Spell</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10028</link>
			<description><![CDATA[In my community, many barns are adorned with brightly painted designs, often circular in shape, like a mandala. It's common to see the rose and thistle pattern, circles of laurel leaves, flowers, birds, mammals, and other symbols of nature. I think of mandalas as magical symbols of protection invoking the power of roses (love), thistles (protection), laurel (honor), and other entities.Draw your own mandala. Start with a circle that is about six inches in diameter. Draw images of flowers, herbs, animals, and totems. Depict directions, elements, or actions.Add color: green for growth and prosperity, red for love and action, blue for calm, beauty, and spirit, or white for purity and sacred power.Place your mandala on your front door, window, or gate, where it will protect your home, family, self, and space]]></description>

			<title>Crone Water Ritual</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10027</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Back in the day, when people (most likely women) were the dishwashers, traditional Hoodoo spells like this were done more often than in the present day, now that we have dishwashers. For this ritual you will need some dishwater. I suggest washing your sculpted gods and goddesses or objects from your altar. This way you are using the dishwater to remove dust, which has magickal essence of its own, rather than food from dishes. Add a quarter cup vinegar and some dish soap to the water in the sink and insert the plug.Next take a small snippet of apron or overalls or something else you wear for housework and wash it in the dishwater. Wash and squeeze out your article of clothing, being mindful of the dishwashing ritual done by crones daily for years. Bury the small piece of the clothing. Hang the rest of it up to dry, preferably outdoors but in the bathroom is fine. This ritual will imbue you with the wisdom of crones any time you need it.]]></description>

			<title>New Moon Prosperity Spell</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10025</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Clip a small cutting of a jade plant and put it in a vase of water or obtain a small jade plant in a pot. Place the plant in a sunny window. Center your mind, relax your body, and say:Goddess of Magic, God of the Green, bring me more money than I've ever seen. Then place a coin of any denomination outside the base of the vase or pot. Tomorrow, say the same chant and place another coin near the first one. Repeat every day, stacking the coins and/or placing them in a circle around the base, until the full moon on May 31. On that day, after the chant, also say:Thank you and blessed be. Give the coins to a child, a cause you care about, or a person in need. If the jade is in water, keep it there until it grows ample roots, then pot it. If it's in a pot, continue to tend to it lovingly.]]></description>

			<title>Music Magic</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10023</link>
			<description><![CDATA[May 14 is David Byrne's birthdayandmdash;yes, the David Byrne of Talking Heads musical fame as well as a writer, visual artist, and filmmaker. He's said quite a few fascinating and inspiring things over the years, but today we're focusing on this quote: "We don't make musicandmdash;it makes us." Sound is an often-underused element in ritual and magical practice, yet it can be incredibly powerful and transformative. Archaeologists have uncovered instruments that were part of our earliest human rituals. Metallic percussive instruments such as bells, singing bowls, and cymbals are used to call upon spirits and entities, cleanse spaces, and awaken the senses. Drums tap into our heartbeats and provide a rhythm for dance. Pipes, flutes, and voice create an atmosphere that is a song for the soul. Purposeful silence can also be very powerful. How might you use sound for your workings?Listen to what tools you have around you and experiment with them. Does that bell sound like it summons or disperses? Try using a bell, bowl, or cymbal to clear instead of using smoke, when health or building concerns prohibit it. Say:I now clear this space with chiming tone. Hear me, beings of spirit and bone!]]></description>

			<title>A Garden Blessing</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10022</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Gardens are beginning to grow now. Show your appreciation for your garden with this charm. First, as an offering to your garden, select a small rock that you find attractive. Carry the rock with you to your garden. Then quietly read these words to yourself:On a warm May eve, Go to your garden and this charm of thanks you'll weave. Garden, from every seed, You bring me all that I need. I have watched your birth As you sprouted from Mother Earth. Even after the leaves turn brown And frost has kissed the ground, You'll live in my mind and in my heart, Long after the autumn night grows chill and dark. Lay your rock as an offering in your garden. Quietly walk away.]]></description>
