A great way to get up and start your morning, fresh and happy! Work this spell at sunrise and take a moment to embrace all the magic and possibilities of a brand-new day. There are no accessories needed for this spell. Just yourself and the sunrise. 
Directions: Turn and face the east. Feel the warmth and power of the sun wash over you. Ground and center yourself, then when you are ready repeat the charm. 

As this new day begins, I stand and greet the dawn, 
May I help and heal others, and bring no one harm. 
I rejoice in the promise of a new magical day. 
Bring me love, success, and health in the best possible way.

Its that time of the year again, when classes resume.  Say this chant whenever you are faced with an important test!

Before taking a test or exam, say the following:

“On this test I take today,
I will receive no less than A.
Earth, wind, fire, and sea
As I Say, So Mote It Be!”

It also helps to draw a pentagram onto your paper somewhere.

If you are planning a move or a vacation and want to be remembered by those you leave behind, here is a great spell inspired by the north. Before you leave, find a quiet spot near the house. Using several flat stones, construct an Inukshuk—a human form made from rocks in Inuit tradition. (Don’t be afraid to use glue if you’re concerned about it toppling.) Walking in front of it, touch your third eye and then touch the headlike part of the statue. Chant: 

Ever watching am I. 
Ever in your hearts, am I. 
Till my return, stone Inukshuk, 
Stand strong like my love. 

A smaller version of this statue can be constructed for inside an apartment or given as a gift to a child who will miss you. It can even be given as a going-away present.

This spell, if properly applied, will dispel negativity, break curses,and add protection—and so is essential for sensitive Witches. To start, get a green candle, some real or fake ivy, a green fruit such as pear or apple, and a bell. Cut the fruit in four pieces. Arrange the ivy. Place the slices of fruit in the four directions. Light the flame. Face north and chant: 

By the powers of the northern light, 
I break any negativity in my life. 

Ring the bell, and allow it to resonate. Face south, and say: 

By the powers of the southern side, strong I am. 
Let my powers rise. 

Face east, saying: 

By the powers of the eastern Sun, 
I face my fears and watch them run. 

Face west, and say: 

By the powers of the western night, 
I break any curse. It takes flight. 

Snuff out the fire, take a breath, and eat the fruit.

Using dried sage or sweet grass, smudge your house, moving from the front door, clockwise throughout the space. In every room, envision the smoke gathering negativity, and the negativity evaporating along with the smoke. Stop by windows and doorways and say: 

Home and portals now be clear, 
happiness and love abides here. 

Return to the front door and carefully smudge the entrance and say: 

Bless those who enter here, 
Let them be loving, happy, and clear. 

Draw a pentagram, inviting elemental protectin, and say: 

Earth, Air, Fire, Water, 
protect the children, mothers, and fathers. 

Unto all let it be known this is a safe and happy home.

Most of us have to cope with stress from time to time, and summer seems to increase the pressure for many. We feel like we should be relaxing, and because we’re not, that makes us feel even more stressed. 
Try this simple spell to help you deal with stress, now or at any time of the year. 
Fill a bowl with sand or salt (beach sand is great, if you can get it, but plain old salt will do). 
Light a white cnadle and place an empty bowl in front of you. Let the sand/salt trickle through your fingers into the empty bowl, and visualize your stress trickling away with it. As you do it, say: 

“I banish stress and let it go 
Life’s too fast, I let it slow 
Calmer, balanced, happy now 
To banish stress, this I vow” 

Throw the sand/salt away when you’re done.

Chant this when you have lost an object that you are in need of finding:

“Keeper of what disappears,
Hear me now — open your ears.
Find for me what I now seek, 
By Moon, Sun, Earth, Air, Fire and Sea.”

Items needed:

• 2 black candles

• Nail, needle, Exacto knife, or other sharp pointed device used to etch candle

An effective candle spell for wealth and prosperity utilizes two black candles since black draws in all color and energy in the universe. Etch your name and the words “money”, “wealth”, “riches” and any other words of power along the sides of the candles. Then light the candles and grasp them firmly in your hands until you feel your pulse throbbing beneath your fingers, a sign that your aura is mingling with the candles’ auras and that your intentions are firmly grounded in the candles.

Visualize what you want, saying,

“These candles bring me wealth and riches.”

Say: 
“In no way will this spell cause me to suffer any adverse effects!”

When finished, extinguish the flame with a spoon, candle snuffer, or your fingers (not your breath, which will change the spell).

Begin this spell on Sunday, Thursday, or Friday as these days honor the sun, Jupiter, and Venus respectively.

Re-light the candles every night until they are completely burned down. Daily repetition will increase the spell’s effectiveness and your own prosperity consciousness.
