12:10 am - Spell to Let Go of Regret
We all have things we wish we had done, or more often, things we wish we hadn't done. The remorse is often overwhelming and can sometimes haunt us for months or even years. It can shake our confidence, make us fearful of the future and prevent us from moving on with our lives. This is a spell to help you overcome these feelings.
You will need:
*2 cones of sandlewood incense (for healing)
*small piece of sodalite (for peace)
*dried lavender (for peace)
*blue tea candle (for healing/peace)
*pen
*paper
*illuminator candle
*access to a river or deep creek
*one toy wooden boat (Can be found at hobby shops or on ebay. If you're crafty, you can carve your own or even construct a raft of popsicle sticks, all that really matters is that it floats)
Timing: Full Moon, New Moon or Sunset
Preperation: Write down exactly what you regret and why. Write down what you wish you would have done differently and what wish the outcome would have been if you could do it over. Make sure your chosen boat floats.
1. Take your spell components down to the water's edge. Roll out your altar cloth or set up your tools on a tree stump and light the illuminator candle.
2. Take your piece of paper with your regrets written on it, place the piece of sodalite in the center and fold it into a neat square. Place it in the bottom of the boat
3. Cover the paper with a generous layer of dried lavander in the bottom of the boat.
4. Light the blue tea candle and place it on top of the bed of dried lavander.
5. Light the two cones of sandlewood incense and place them in either end of the boat.
6. Pick up your boat and wade into the water as far as you can. Say:
"Great Merciful Mother of many daughters
"Wash over me with your healing waters
"Too long I have mourned the cost of my vice
"But wasted time was the greatest price
"As I let go of my mistake, may I not forget
"But remember wisely and without regret
Let go of the boat and let it float away.
"From the pain of the past I now turn
"To face the future with what I've learned
"May the sun of my soul draw up the rain
"So that I may rejoice in what I've gained"
7. Turn around, wade out of the water and walk away without looking back.

People are always telling me that they have trouble finding witchcraft supplies because they don't live near an occult shop. I come from a small town, so I understand this predicament. But don't let that stop you! There are plenty of places to find spell components/witchcraft supplies. Here are a few common places to look.
PS Feel free to comment and add your own!
<lj-cut text="Read More">
Grocery Stores
Herbs: Virtually anything in the spice section of your grocery store can be used to enhance your spells. Allspice, Basil, Rosemary, Thyme, Parsley, Garlic and Ginger, just to name a few.
Sea Salt/Kosher Salt: A lot of spells call for sea salt or Kosher salt.
Spring Water: Bless and use in spells that call for Blessed or Holy Water
Fruits and Vegetables: Like herbs, almost any vegetable can be used for its magickal properties. I've used avocados, tomatoes, peaches, onions, lemons, limes, apples, cherries, coconuts and oranges.
Wine: Used for the cakes and ale rite that some witches preform at the end of a ritual.
And don't forget food magick!
Craft Stores
-Scrap-booking supplies for your Book of Shadows
-Beads for making talisman and amulets
-Empty glass jars and bottles to store herbs and oils
-Scented oils (usually no essential oils, but still useful)
-Candle-making supplies
-Brooms that can be decorated and used as besoms
-Card-board and unfinished wooden boxes for making spell boxes
-Felt for making sachets and poppets
Book Stores
Books, obviously: All large bookstores have an New Age/Occult studies section where you can find books on a wide range of various metaphysical subjects.
Tarot Cards: Most bookstores carry tarot decks, oracle cards, meditation decks and other divination tools.
Blank Books: A great place to find your next blank Book of Shadows.
Nature Science Stores
A lot of malls have what at the moment I can only think to call "Natural Science Shops" where they sell things like rain sticks and cds called "Sounds of the Ocean." Maybe you know what I'm talking about. Anyway. They're good places to find tumbled gemstones.
Gardening Supply Stores
Seeds: One of the best ways to get in touch with the cycles of nature is to grow and harvest your own magickal herbs.
Garden Statues: Statues of fairies, angels, gnomes and even religious figures can be blessed and placed in the garden for protection of the home and family.
Outdoor Sacred Space: Building your own outdoor sacred space is an enjoyable and rewarding experience. You can do anything you want. Plant flowers and herbs that draw spiritual vibrations. Put in a fountain, pond or birdbath for the element of water, wind chimes for air, a fire-pit or stone surface for fire. Some gardening stores have large stone slabs that can be used as an outdoor altar.

8-Day Weight Loss Spell
You will need:
*a bowl of salt
*a bowl of rainwater
*sage or smudge stick
*1 small red candle
*peppermint (to suppress appetite)
*ginger (for success)
*ginseng or catnip (for health and beauty)
*High John the Conqueror (to fight cravings)
*orange or yellow calcite (for energy)
*7 small black candles
*a piece of white or pink fabric/felt
*needle/white thread
*scissors
*a clipping of your hair or fingernails
Timing: Full to waning moon
lj-cut text="Weight Loss Spell">
Preparation: From the fabric/felt, cut out two identical figures the approximate shape of your body and write your name/birthday on both. Decide how much weight you want to lose, and then divide that number by seven. If you do not get a round number, round up or down to the nearest whole number divisible by seven. (And you thought you’d never use that sixth-grade math again). For example, if you want to lose twenty pounds, round up to twenty-one, divide by seven again and you get an even three. Take the number that you come up with, translate into a Roman numeral (III for example) and carve that Roman numeral into each black candle.
1. On the night of the full moon, sew the poppet, stuffing it with ginseng, ginger, peppermint, High John the Conqueror, calcite, and a clipping of your hair or fingernails.
2. Cleanse and consecrate. Pass the poppet through the sage smoke, sprinkle it with salt and then rainwater.
3. Place the red candle on top of the poppet and chant:
“This poppet is a representation of me,
“Charge it with willpower and energy”
4. Let the candle burn down all the way.
5. On the first night after the full moon, place one black candle on top of the poppet, light it and chant 9 times:
“At a healthy and steady rate
“Help me lose this excess weight!”
6. Repeat every night for the next 6 nights or until the candles are gone.
7. On the last night, bury the poppet at the crossroads.
8. Give the spell time to work. Obviously, you are not going to lose 35 pounds over night.
*Do not negate the magick by pigging out. Magick does not work that way. Showing the universe your commitment to losing weight will lend a great deal of power to the spell. Go for a twenty minute walk everyday and watch the foods you eat.

3. Hot glue the two haves of coconut back together.
Tie the yellow ribbon firmly around the coconut so that there is a loose end you will be able to tie from a tree.
4. Cover the coconut with peanut butter. Spread the bird seed on a newspaper and roll the coconut in them so it’s coated with birdseed.
5. On a Wednesday during the waxing moon, place the coconut on you alter between the two yellow candles. (Make sure there’s something like newspaper to protect you’re alter—this is a messy spell.) Chant:
“May every bird who plucks a seed
“Bring me a new idea that I need”
6. Hang the coconut from a tree in your yard.

07:46 pm - Banishing Spell
A simple banishing spell to eliminate people or bad habits from your life.
You Will Need:
*one black candle
*a piece of black felt or cloth
*needle/thread
*dried onions
*garlic
*a peice of paper (parchment is always nice, but whatever you have)
Timing: Full to Waning moon
1. Sew a planket (for a bad habit) or a poppet (for a person) out of the black felt or fabric.
2. Write the bad habit on a peice of paper (if it's a person, include their name and birthdate). I like to use exotic characters or magickal alphabets because it taking the time to translate them focuses my energy, but you can just write it.
3. Stuff the planket or poppet with the garlic, onions, the peice of paper and, if it's a person, a peice of their clothing or a personal object that belongs to them (a lot of people like to use hair, but it's kind of difficult to obtain someone's hair without them noticing).
4. Carve the word "Banish" in the candle, place it on top of the planket/poppet and let it burn down all the way.
5. Bury it in the woods under the full moon and walk away without looking back.

02:32 pm - rainbow water
A cute little spell. Found it in this year's Llewellyn's Magickal Almanac.
You will need:
*7 small glass jars (I got mine at the craft store in the glassware section)
*glass paint
*an ounce or two of spring or rainwater
Paint the jars, one for each color of the rainbow (one red, one orange,
one yellow, one green, one blue, one indigo, one violet) and put them
on your alter on ascending rainbow order. Started with the red one,
fill it with the spring water and let stand for one hour. Then
transfer it to the orange one, yellow one, ect. letting the water stand
in each jar for an hour until you reach violet. The water absorbs the
energy of each color. The result? Rainbow-in-a-bottle! Drink to
banish a bad mood or use for libation. If you're going to save it, put
it in the fridge.

People
are always complaining to me that many spell ingredients are too exotic or
difficult to find. But I am here to
prove you wrong! Your house is full of
spell ingredients! Remember, witchcraft
is about working with what you have.
Here is
a list of very common and obtainable ones that I use all the time. You can get most of them at the grocery
store.
Allspice: Burned as an incense to attract money or luck
and is also added to such mixtures.
Apple: Wiccan alters are often piled high with apples
on Samhain (Halloween), as the apple is considered one of the foods of the
dead. Bury an apple on Samhain and
dedicate it to someone whom you have loved and whom has passed on into the next
life. The apple has also long been used
in love spells. The blossoms are added
to love sachets, brews (“potions”) and incenses. A simple love spell involves cutting a
blessed, charged apple in half and sharing it with your loved one.
Apricot: Use the juice in love spells or brews. Leaves and flowers can be added to love
sachets and the pits are carried to attract love.
Basil: The scent of basil causes sympathy between
two people. A common ingredient in love
spells and sachets. Fresh basil leaves
are rubbed on the skin as a natural love perfume. Basil given as a gift brings luck to a new
home. Sprinkle over a lover’s heart to
ensure fidelity. Scattered around, near
and in the home to dispel evil and negativity.
Bay
Leaves: Used in clairvoyance and wisdom
spells. Placed under the pillow to
induce prophetic dreams and burned to induce visions. Purification herb. Burned or scattered during exorcism rituals. Hung up to prevent poltergeists
from working any mischief in the house.
Burned to remove curses and evil spells.
Worn to give strength during athletic competition. A simple spell: write a wish on a bay leaf
and burn it.
Candles: Burn an appropriate colored candle (see my November
2nd entry for a guide to color magick) during a spell to enhance the
results. Even better: make your own using the appropriate herbs,
coloring and scent. You can even anchor
the wick with gemstone to enhance its power.
Felt/Scrap
Fabric: Depending on the color, fabric scraps
can be made into poppets (more commonly known as voodoo dolls, but don’t get
caught up in the stigma, they can and should be used to do good), sachets and
plackets.
Garlic: Placed around the home to guard against the
intrusion of evil and to keep put robbers and thieves. Hang over the door to repel envious people
and thoughts.

11:38 pm - Heavenly Father and Mother
Thanks to letters2lucifer for posting this:
Heavenly Father and Mother, Help us remember
that the asshole who cut us off in traffic
last night is a single mother who
worked nine hours that day and
is rushing home to cook dinner,
help with homework,
do the laundry and spend a
few precious moments
with her children.
Help us to remember that the
pierced, tattooed, disinterested
punk who can't make
change correctly is a worried
19-year-old college student,
balancing his apprehension
over final exams with his
fear of not getting his
student loans for next semester.
Remind us, Lord and Lady,
that the scary looking hobo,
begging for money in the same
spot every day (who really ought
to get a job!) is a slave to addictions
that we can only imagine in our
worst nightmares.
Help us to remember that the
snile couple walking annoyingly
slow through the store aisles
and blocking our shopping
progress are savoring this
moment, knowing that,
based on the biopsy report
she got back last week, this
will be the last year that they
go shopping together.
Heavenly Father and Mother,
remind us each day that,
of all the gifts you give us,
the greatest gift is love.
It is not enough to share
that love with those
we hold dear.
Open our hearts not to
just those who are
close to us,
but to all humanity.
Let us be slow to judge
and quick to forgive,
show patience,
empathy and love.
