Chapter 15 "Prayers"

Start from the beginning
                                    

Count your blessings everyday for they are your protection which stands between you and what you wish not.
Count your curses and they will be a wall which stands between you and what you wish

"Native American Prayer"

Oh Great Spirit,
whose voice I hear in the winds,
and whose breath gives life to all the world
-hear me-

I come before you, one of your children.
I am small and weak.
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever
behold the red and purple sunset.

Make my hands respect the things you have made,
my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise, so that I may know the things
you have taught my People,
the lesson you have hidden in every leaf and rock.

I seek strength not to be superior to my brothers,
but to be able to fight my greatest enemy, myself.
Make me ever ready to come to you,
with clean hands and straight eyes,
so when life fades as a fading sunset,
my spirit may come to you without shame.

"New Project Blessing Spell"

(Do at the New Moon)

Maiden Goddess, you who sprout from tiny seed, the Earth throughout,
Bless this project with your joy and those of us in its employ.
Mother goddess, you who flower and bring beauty to our daylight hours.
Bless this project with your hand and the fertile bounty of your land.
Ancient Goddess, you who rest and reseed all used things with your breath,
Bless us with your intuition, help bring this project to fruition.
Bestow your blessings, Triple One, and guide us 'til this project's done.

"White Candle Spell for Blessing"

Get a white candle-either a plain one (offertory, pillar, or taper) or a figural one in the gender of the person you want to bless.

Carve the person's full name on the candle, then dress it with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil.

For more power, you may place a name-paper of the person, or a photo, or some personal item of theirs (such as a bit of hair or a snippet of clothing) either under the candle or next to it. One easy way to do this is to place the paper or personal concerns under an overturned saucer and put the candle on top of the saucer.

Burn a portion of the candle every day for seven days, pinching it out between burnings. As you light it each day, say this

[Name], may you be blessed
May all good things come to you\
May nothing whatsoever harm you
May your heart be light
May your travels be safe
May your health be good
May your mind be sound
May your friendships sustain you
May you be blessed in every way

If you have a special request for this person (such as that they find a lover, get a good job, come home safely from a war, or whatever), just add it to the list.

Some people use a large pillar-type candle and keep it going for longer than seven days.

They may make a habit of burning such a candle every day-or once a week, on Sundays -- for as long as their friend or relative needs help, even doing so for months at a time.

If the candle is large and it is to be burned in this way, it should be re-dressed with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil once a week: after the initial dressing, you can drop a tiny bit of oil into the "well" or hole in such a large candle just before lighting it each time.

"Helping Mother Earth Heal Those in Need"

For those not skilled in magick and spells, you can lend strength and energy to those in need simply by lighting a green candle and doing the following: Picture a white ball of energy coming out of your chest (near the sternum or breastbone). At this point you may wish to say a few words or simply focus on the pain and suffering coming from the group you are focusing on (refugees, starving children, etc). You are offering this energy to any and all who need it, so try not to focus on any one person or face from the papers. From deep in your chest, *push* the ball. You will feel the muscles in your chest pushing and your shoulders drawn in toward the center of your torso. This will send the energy to the place and group you were thinking of.

"Blessing for the Body"

To convert the senses. This blessing gives the body more connection with the spirit. It may also help with your readiness to channel.

To be done at night in the moon's view.

Extravagance is not appreciated.

The Spell:

Light a large white candle.

Burn sandalwood and basalm and pine.

Prepare a bowl of water sprinkled with salt.

Put the bowl before you. Dip your finger in the water and touch it to each part of your body.

Touch between your eyes and say:

Bless my eyes that I might have clarity of vision.

Touch your mouth and say:

Bless my mouth that I may speak the truth.

Touch your ears and say:

Bless my ears that I may hear all that is spoken and all that is not.

Touch your heart and say:

Bless my heart that I may be filled with love.

Touch your uterus and say:

Bless my womb that I may be in touch with my creative energy that stems from the universe.

To your feet, say:

Bless my feet that I may find and walk my own true path

Visualize filling yourself with understanding and love.

Extinguish the candle when done (can be used for other purposes).

"Thank You Blessing Spell"

Directions: Either think of the person you are casting the spell on, or cast whilst looking at a picture of them.

Recite the following incantation as many times as you feel necessary:

With love and gratitude I send to you,
Thanks for everything you do.
You're there for me in times of need,
Your deeds are pure and free from greed.
I thank you dearly for all your care
such devotion is really rare.
I wish you happiness, I wish you love,
May you be blessed by those above.
May karma find its way to you,
And repay you for the things you do.
For this is what I wish today
that all good things shall come your way!
May this spell not be reversed,
Or placed upon us as any curse.
With harm to none,
My will be done!
