Love yourself Spell
Color of the day: White
Incense of the day: Alder
There’s someone very special in your life. You see that person every day in the mirror, and you should remind them how special they are!
Hey, you’re a great person, and if you don’t love yourself, how can you love others?
Make a list of five things that you love about your mind, five things you love about your body, and five things you love about your spirit.
Read over the list, then take some time to give thanks for being you and say the following:
“My guiding spirit I give thanks to thee,
For helping me to become me,
For my spirit, body, and my mind,
As I celebrate my being and let it shine.”
Fold the list and place it with rose quartz tumbled stone or piece of rose quartz jewelry under your pillow when you go to sleep. When you carry or wear the stone, be reminded that you are one excellent person!

Spell for Sleep Protection
Hey everyone I don’t know about you but lately sleeping has been pretty rough. I found a good spell that might help you out too if your in the same situation:
Color of the day: Orange
Incense of the day: Frankincense
Are you having nightmares or other bad dreams?
Create a dream protector. There are many possibilities. Nutcrackers of the classic sort, that look like old-fashioned toy soldiers, can be used as bedside guardians. Dragons are a protective totem in Asian mythology.
Find the image that seems protective to you; this can be a flat picture you can hang on the wall over your bed, or a statue small enough to sit on your bedside table. If you can take it along with you if you sleep somewhere else, that’s a plus.
Once you have the image chosen, put it on your altar and cast a circle. Bless it with the elements, then invoke the spirit of that figure and ask it to be your dream protector. If you get a positive response from the spirit, thank it, and end the circle. Put the image by your bed, and thank it every morning.

Sunrise Spell
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.

Quick exam chant
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.

Spell to Be Remembered
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.

Altar Tool of the Day: The Bell
Bell are like the voice of the Goddess with a ring that calls the divines attention to you and your work, and you to them. The bell is used for many things such as:
- The bell as an altar tool that is used to call attention to the Gods during ritual work. (Like opening a circle)
- A bell with a lovely tone will bring healing energy to you.
- Bells can also be used to clear away energy. (Like closing a circle)
Spell to Rid of Negativity
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.

Happy Home Spell
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.

Spell to Relieve Stress
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.
