The last
full moon on May 4, I have created a Healing spell for myself with the CelticLenormand by Chloe McCracken and Will Worthington. Today when the moon is almost dark and we are
about to enter another moon cycle, I wanted to share with you my experiences and some
alterations I've made.
First of all I am happy to say I feel a lot better than two weeks ago. The sun has certainly began to shine more regularly for me and since I have been mediating again, I do feel more calm and peaceful. I won’t comment on how much this has to do with my spell but I can say with certainty it did help a lot. Every time when I went to my room I was reminded by the cards of my intent to enter the burial mound to face my fears and come out stronger, more confident and happier. During these two weeks I noticed it was hard for me to do so. It was almost as I was lingering before the entrance of this burial mound. So I strengthened my Spell with some crystals. I picked one for each “bridge” card: Black obsidian for dealing with my fears and grief, Rose Quartz for the love I want to give myself and others and Amethyst for the wisdom I need to grow and move forward in life.
And still it wasn't enough. Fear can be suffocating and grief can cause large stumbling blocks. That's when I decided to turn to Deity. To represent the fierce aspect of the Goddess I choose the Lady card with her spear in her hand and shield in the background. I blended the entrance of her house with the entrance of the Burial Mound. She would be there to give me courage and protect me when I would enter the into the darkness. I also added a bindrune which is the combination or Nauthiz ( the strength to persevere) and Uruz (vitality and willpower). Especially the woman card was helpful for me. It gave me the feeling I didn't have to do the scary part all on my own.
As you can see I have added quite a bit. For me magic is like cooking: adding ingredients and spices to a dish until I feel the recipe is finished. I also think it keeps the spell's energy moving.
Tonight I am going to take down my spell and give thanks for the positive changes in my life.
( and maybe be cook up a new one……)
well done. Spell = intent + action, no magic except that supplied by our own mind and heart. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharyn! I remember you wanting to know what I would hack up.
DeleteMagic is like cooking. I like that! ha ha ha.
ReplyDeleteAdding the Lady really does make it look so much more powerful and supportive. What a great idea. I'm glad it is working for you! :)
Yes that comparison suddenly bubbled up. Creating magic is like stirring in the cauldron of transformation :D
DeleteYour intention followed by your action will result in progress, as it already has (and I'm very happy you're feeling better!). Doing something different rather than repeating a habitual pattern can bring great changes. Your altar is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bev! I like it a lot too. It felt so empowering to do this for myself and to take matters into my own hand :)
DeleteI absolutely love this! And I totally agree, my spells tend to change with me, adding this bit, taking away that bit :D I'm glad setting this intention has helped you feel sunnier!
ReplyDeleteHi Chloe I am glad too. This feels a lot better than those heavy clouds hanging over my head :)
DeleteI am still ever so grateful for the inspiration you gave me to start using magic again!
Big Hug
Glad to hear those dark clouds have lifted Ellen. <3
ReplyDeleteSo am I my friend,so am I!!!
DeleteCo-creatrix of your inner and outer cosmos!
ReplyDeleteAnd that is what magic is all about. :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful discussion of your experience with your bridge spell, and the ways you reinforced it! The honesty with which you write is, I think, what makes your posts so wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteWow That is a wonderful compliment Olivia, coming from you. I am always trying to show parts of myself in my posts, so my readers can get to know me. That is what I find attractive about your writing too. You paint your live so colorfully in your posts and also you are very open about your feelings and challenges
DeleteHugs
Ellen,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your beautiful spell!! I cannot express the inspiration this has given me as I long to manifest change in my life. I will definitely cook up a spell of my own. You are such an inspiration to me!!!
Bright Blessings
