Book of Shadows - IV
Going to War: Use a Mars hour. At this time you should light a red candle, visualize the person you are praying for as if he or she was standing right in front of you looking you in the eye. If you are doing this for yourself, visualize yourself in the midst of war with a feeling of calmness, courage, and confidence in your own abilities. Take a deep breath and blow all your worries and doubts away and leap forward with abandon! Spread your arms wide and cast a white light of protection around the person (or imagine that white light is descending from above to surround and protect yourself). Imagine that the person is standing calm and self-assured inside this white light of protection. Then wish the person well and bid them well on their way into the light.
Conflicts / firing employees, etc.: Use a Mars hour. Light a red candle for courage. If it’s a matter of standing up to someone and telling them off, imagine them standing right there in front of you and speak exactly what’s on your mind calmly and assuredly, with no gloating, anger, or personal feeling at all. Imagine yourself tearing off the ties which bind you; jump forward out of the situation which is holding you back and spring into the light of freedom!
Scat Spell: (to cast out demons, banish negative thought forms, and get rid of bothersome people): Use a Saturn hour. Light a black candle, take a deep breath, and imagine yourself confronting the oppressive person or situation with cold detachment and indifference. It’s important that you have no sense of gloating, or a desire for vengeance, or for anything more from this person. Then throw your arms outward forcefully and decisively as if to cast off the oppressive person or situation. You can also jump up and down and shake your body vigorously to shake the person’s bad vibes off. You don’t visualize something bad happening to the person, but rather feel how happy and light you feel now that person is gone or that situation is behind you!
Example: to get rid of a lover who has outlived his / her usefulness: at the correct moment light a black candle and imagine your ex is standing right in front of you and telling you that they’ve decided that they’ve had enough of you. Don’t feel rancor; feel relief. It’s important that you don’t do this C.V. in a mood of anger, particularly if your ex is a vampire who is sucking your energy by provoking your anger. You have to call it quits in the C.V. – not take pleasure when they get their comeuppance (as you do in normal daydreaming). Take deep breaths, or jump up and down and shake your body, until you are calm and in command of yourself. Then imagine taking your erstwhile lover’s hands in both of your own; look him or her squarely in the eye; and say in your own words and using your own sentiments, “It’s had its good times, hasn’t it? But now it’s time we each went our own way.” Then wishing him or her the best of luck in their future journey, turn around, wipe your hands of it, walk away and don’t look back.
