Book of Shadows - III
Asking favors: Use a relevant hour (sun for father / boss; moon for mother / employee; Mercury for children / neighbor / coworker; Venus for female friend or lover; Mars for male friend or lover; Jupiter for advisor; Saturn for old or difficult people). Light a white candle and look the person directly in the eye. Calmly and confidently explain why you need this favor from the person. Give your reasoning and (if possible) explain how doing you this favor will be beneficial to them also. Imagine them granting your desire with cordiality and generosity; smile at them and shake their hand; then walk away and forget about it (i.e. after doing the C.V. don’t bring the favor up yourself of your own accord; wait until the proper moment to approach the person arrives on its own momentum).
Love Spell: Use a Venus hour (straight women or gay men can use a Mars hour instead – particularly if sex is more important than companionship). At this moment light a pink candle and imagine that you are right there in front of your beloved (or if you don’t have a beloved, a beautiful stranger). Look him or her directly in the eyes; take his or her hands in yours; and say everything that is in your heart. Then listen to what he or she has to say; let the thing flow as it will. Then embrace and kiss as if it were really happening right now, and feel yourself filled with joy and happiness! Then with a sigh, squeeze their hands, wish them well, and let them go.
Both the Asking favors (above) and Love spells are essentially the same thing as bewitching the person; except casting spells are usually only done once, at a favorable astrological time; whereas bewitching is carried out on a daily (or even moment-to-moment) basis for a while to build up pressure, before dropping the procedure and turning one’s mind to other things.
Money Spell: Use a Jupiter hour. At the chosen time light a green candle, take a deep breath, and vigorously shake your body to shake off all your money worries. Imagine that you have plenty of money for all your needs and never need to worry about money ever again! It’s better not to focus on money qua money, but rather on what you need the money for; that these needs are being abundantly met; and you are joyous and positive about your future! Feel how happy and satisfying it makes you that you have such abundance that you can be philanthropic and give money to others who need it and to help save the earth (it’s important that you see yourself as being wealthy enough to give money away, rather than imagining yourself pigging out)! Feel how great it feels to be free of money worries forever!
Enlightenment / wisdom / knowledge Spell: Use a sun hour. At this moment light a white candle; take a deep breath, and imagine that all barriers separating you from other people and the world around you have dissolved, and you feel a white light enveloping you with joy! Then:
Feel that you are truly connected to the universe;That you have been chosen to save the world; That you have been chosen to reach out to every being that comes in contact with you;That your love knows no bounds and gives you joy such as you never thought was possible.
Health: Use a moon hour. At this time light a white candle and imagine yourself (or the person you are praying for) to be healthy, happy, and full of zip! Whatever activities may have been curtailed by your illness, imagine yourself renewing them with increased verve and enthusiasm! Feel yourself brimming with vigor and energy, do a little dance of joy and thanksgiving for your healing!
Success in Studies: Use a Mercury hour. Light a blue candle at this moment, take a deep breath, and imagine that you are in school and are feeling confident and pleased with your understanding and progress! See yourself reciting in class and feel that you are making a good contribution to the class and have the esteem of your teachers and classmates! You are so happy to be in school because you are learning so much and are having lots of fun!
