Letting Go – Cutting Love Ties – Meditation

Apr 13

A great way to let go of the ties that you may still have after breaking up with someone is to meditate. I believe that meditation is just another way of connecting to the magick used in Love Spells. Meditations allow your to connect with the magick, heal yourself and connect with your heart and soul.

To perform the following guided meditation you need to either find a friend to read the following to you or you could record your voice and music to create your own meditation CD.

Prepare by finding yourself somewhere comfortable to sit. Set the atmosphere through music (if you haven’t already put some on your self-recorded CD), dimmed lighting and incense, such as Pine for strength and to cleanse away negative energy.
Begin to breathe slowly and focus on the breath in and the breath out. The words in the numbered list below should be said out loud by your friend or played as a recording.
1. Close your eyes and take three very deep, cleansing breaths. You are safe in the meditative state and can release yourself from it if a situation arises that would threaten your safety. Continue to focus on your breathing, each breath in, each breath out.
2. Visualise a emerald green light surrounding you and as you breathe see the healing light enter with each breath in. Imagine it filling your lungs, and seeping out into your torso, spreading over your body and then as it builds up focussing on your heart. Believe that the green light will remove any negativity that may have caused you to feel pain in your relationships with yourself and others and that the green light will cleanse your heart thoroughly.
3. Take another deep breath and on the outbreath allow the light to carry away any fears you may have about love. Be open to releasing the fear of feeling love. There is only your breath and the green light, feel each breath utilising the green light to release any fear of love and healing your heart.
4. Take another deep breath filling you with the green light, to release the fear of being loved, including the fear that if you are loved, you could be manipulated, tricked, used, abandoned, rejected, persecuted, or hurt.
5. With a third deep breath, accept that all of the fears from any lifetime are being lifted and carried away as you breath out, see them leave you on your outbreath and feel your heart expanding to its natural loving state.
6. Surface any feelings of unforgiveness you might have, for your parents, for your brothers or sisters, for friends past and friends present and anyone else who has passed through your life.
7. Now, with another deep breath, allow the green light to cleanse you completely. Release any unforgiveness you may hold toward yourself connected to love. Forgive yourself for betraying yourself, for ignoring your intuition, or for not looking out for your highest interests. Give yourself a hug, either in your mind or with your arms. Reassure your inner self that you will never again engage in self-betrayal.
8. Make a commitment to follow your intuition in love relationships, promise yourself you will never stay in any relationship that would hurt you physically or mentally. Fully release the unforgiveness for any mistakes that you think you may have made in any relationship, including your relationship with yourself. And with a final deep cleansing breath, feel yourself healed, whole, and ready to enjoy the love that is the truth about who you really are.
9. You are now ready to start to return to the physical world. Breathe slowly and gently as you become aware of your surroundings again, open your eyes when you are ready, stretch your body as you come back to help become aware of the physical world and note any changes in emotion and your body posture or movement that may result from the healing meditation.

Ensure you drink plenty of water in the next 24 hours as healing can result in the release of toxins. There is no limit to the number of times you could use this meditation, sometimes the layers of hurt with love need to be broken down a bit at a time or you may need to perform it regularly until your heart stays open to love.

Growing Love, It’s Magickal!

Apr 04

A great way to keep focussed on Love and create a spirit of nurture is to grow plants and tend them as they grow.

Start by choosing a nice spot in your garden (if you don’t have a garden consider a pot you are happy to have indoors or a window box).

Once you know where your Love Garden will be think about the plants you want to grow. You may choose a plant such as a rose or some herbs (Basil is linked to love, as is lavender and red clover). Research which plants work for your chosen patch whether it is indoors, in a shady area or direct sunshine for instance. Picture how it will look after you have finished to inspire you.

Shape the area like a heart, initially by digging out that area and then when you have finished planting place stones or other markers round the edge to highlight the shape. For indoor plants or window boxes you may have to be a bit more creative in creating heart shapes or symbols for your garden

It is entirely up to you how big you make the heart, it may tell you something about yourself regarding the size you choose ;)

Dig over the earth and ensure it is well turned over, it is best if you use your hands once the soil is loose and mix up the earth you have dug over with some fresh compost.

Make an appropriate size hole with your hands, if you can and then place a piece of rose quartz at the bottom, the rose quartz will amplify the love you put into your love garden. Water the hole and then place the plant gently into the hole and cover the roots with some of the mixed soil and compost. Push the earth down around the roots firmly but ensuring not to damage the plant and water again. Repeat this for all your chosen plants.

Water all the heart shaped area once finished (for a pot or window box you won’t need to water as much!). Create a border round it with decorative stones or something else. If you chose plants like roses then you could use chip bark to help keep weeds at bay but that is one of your primary tasks in keeping your heart garden beautiful and nurtured, keep it free of weeds.

Once you are finished meditate on your new garden and focus on love. Be sure to visit it every day, keep it watered, weeded and beautiful. As you do this you will find the peace and love in your heart grow as you tend to it’s needs, connect with nature and focus on love.

Now that is an easy love spell.

Where was I when I found love?

Mar 22

I was just thinking “Where was I when I found love?”. By that I don’t mean where geographically was I but “What was my outlook on life?” and “What were my desires?”

The answer to this lies in how I felt about myself and the emotions I attached to the quest for a soulmate and love.

I had reached a point in my life where I thought “OK I’m 30 and I haven’t met my soulmate. I also am a bit shy and so I’m probably not going to say much if I do! Which probably means I’ll just be getting along by myself.”. I doing so I let go of my attachment to love and the desperation that often goes with it. The other emotions which you may have hooked onto Love could be jealousy of other couples, unworthiness or fear of rejection.

What needs to happen for you to clear the space for Love is for you to let go of your attachment to love and any negative emotions you have related to love. Do this through meditation or visualisation of a pure form of love and any time the negative emotions surface, thank them for the learning they have given you in your life so far and tell them their service is no longer required. Perform the meditation once a day for at least 21 days and you will find love comes more easily and you are able to start loving in a pure way.

Send Your Love to Everyone in Japan

Mar 14

the earthquake and it’s aftermath is a horrible thing that has happened in Japan and my heart goes out to those who are there, those who know someone that is and those who have lost loved ones.

I have said before that practising love is the easiest love spell you can cast and now is the time to practice distance love and distance healing. Love and healing energy are connected and if you know how to send distance healing you can use the same approach for sending love too.

For those of you who don’t then please just follow the steps below.

  • Set up an altar that represents love to you.
  • Add something that is symbolic of Japan for you (this may be some pictures from a magazine or the national flag).
  • Light either a candle the color of each of the chakra’s or a single turquoise candle to help focus the healing power.
  • Settle yourself as if getting ready to meditate.
  • Take 5 long breaths: each one in through the nose and out through the mouth; focus on each breathe as you life force.
  • Start to see a brilliant white light coming down into you; this is the divine energy.
  • Next see a golden light coming up into you from the earth; this is the earth goddess energy.
  • See the two lights play with each other without combining.
  • Then direct the lights through your heart chakra to the person or place you are wanting to heal.
  • It will emerge as a turquoise light; see that going to and healing that person or place.
  • After some time it will become clear that it is time to close the healing session; the light will fade or you may start to feel tired.
  • Close the energy conduit that you opened through your heart chakra and see that the white and gold energy stop flowing into you.
  • Give thanks for the healing power that you channelled to the divine and the earth.
  • You’re all done. Thank you for supporting the Japanese recovery efforts.

The more you focus on love and practise it the more love you will have in your life.

Cupid is Not Just For St Valentines Day

Feb 27

Well for another year St Valentine’s Day is over. It’s a blessed relief for some and has, like many popular festivals and celebrations become overtly commercial. For Christmas, Easter and other festivals the meaning in getting lost in the frenzy for the latest presents and more sugar than a body should have to process in a lifetime let alone a couple of days.
That’s my little rant over, it is heartfelt though ;)
Cupid is the Roman god representing love, desire and eroticism. He has been linked with St Valentine’s Day for many years. His alter-egos in other pantheons are Eros and Kamadeva, all are portrayed as young men with bow and arrows and all are associated with love and desire.
As with all love it is not something that is brought out once a year it is a way of life that can be lived every moment of every day. In that way Cupid, and his brothers, are there to support you in your Love Spells every day of the year.
Cupid, whilst being portrayed as mischievous, was also very much loyal in his love for Psyche. Despite their meeting coming from Cupid’s mother’s (Venus) jealousy of Psyche’s beauty he was affected by his own spell (scratched by his own arrow) and fell in love with her. There then followed a whole series of events and trials finally resulting in Psyche’s elevation to Goddess, due in part to her being affected by one of Cupid’s arrows. They both fought for their love, with Cupid defying his mother and Psyche her sisters, as well as undergoing a series of tests, and that is what shows me the power of love and the desire that soulmates have to attract each other and be together.
Think of the Love Spells you cast as Cupid’s arrows, you are performing his role in modern world, you are creating situations for love to blossom and for soulmates to meet and connect for life. How special is that?

An Easy Love Spell to Take a Love Booster Wherever You Go

Feb 14

Sometimes you just need a boost, it might be that you’re not feeling loved all the time. Well there’s a simple remedy to that, a love charged charm.
First off find something that represents Love to you, an archetypal Heart, a picture of someone that truly loves you or a place that fills you up with love whenever you are there, a love crystal like Rose quartz or anything else you love. The only other stipulation is that it will fit into your bag, pocket or wallet, or that you can wear it as jewellery. If you are not sure what to choose I suggest dowsing a couple of objects that you are attracted to and Making your selection that way (if you haven’t started dowsing then get going as soon as you can it’s an invaluable tool).
Your first mission is to cleanse the object of any negative energy. Do this by using smudge or incense (if your object is paper or flammable be responsible and hold the object away from the heat and within the smoke).
Once the object is clear, you can check this by dowsing, using a pendulum for this is easy and works well for me.
Now set yourself up with some love incense or essential oils burning, some music the evokes love for you and create an atmosphere where you feel love welling up through meditation or prayer. Do this while holding the object to your heart chakra.
Repeat this ceremony regularly to keep the object charged.
Carrying the object with you and looking at it and holding it will connect you to love each time with little effort, even if you are feeling down.

An Easy Reconciliation Love Spell

Feb 04

If you have split with someone and want to get back together, then you need to prepare and cast a Reconciliation Spell. The purpose of the Reconciliation Spell is to reconnect your soul energies, as the ties between them will have been damaged or severed by the actions of one or both of you.

As always with a situation where there has been conflict, consult an oracle (Tarot Cards, Rune Stones, etc.) to see whether it is favourable to get back together. You may choose to use a psychic or intuitive to work the divination as in this sort of situation you may well be best seeking an objective view as by the nature of your desire you have already decided the answer you want to hear.

If your choice is to continue with a reconciliation spell then you should contemplate the nature of the reconciliation. Begin by recalling as vividly as you can all the good times you had with the person, use a photo album if you have one to add a visual dimension and play some the songs that you shared with them. This brings your senses into play and will start to heal the bond between you. While doing this notice the feelings that are arising, if you start to feel any anger or blame, immediately stand up and say “Stop”. This will interrupt the negative thought and if you do it each time you with find that the anger or blame reduces each time.

Once you are feeling a strong love for your reconciliation target then take a white candle, a red candle and a pink candle and place them in a row either on a table or altar. If you have a picture of both of you happy together place that in front of the line of candles (or find individual pictures where you are both happy), place some rose quartz on the pictures and if you have some jasmine incense place that on the table too.

Put on a series of love songs or music that makes you feel love. Light the incense and then light the candles in turn and while lighting them recite the following:
“I see my love
I feel my love
Unconditionally I take you back
Unconditionally I come to you
The wounds are healed
The love returns
Back together to love, to hold, to heal each other.
I thank you.”

Pick up the rose quartz and the pictures, hold the quartz in your left hand and the pictures in your right and visualise energy building round your heart and then release it and see it envelop the pictures and the crystal. Sustain the energy as long as you can. Once you are finished blow the candles out in reverse order. Then give thanks to your deities or the universal energy. Congratulate yourself on a job well done and relax with a cup of rose petal tea.

How Do You Increase The Magick In Your Life?

Jan 23

Think of your Magick as a muscle, the more you use use the better it gets, the stronger the energy gets that you generate to build your dreams into your reality. Spells may work the first time but quite often they don’t and so you need to keep trying different combinations of ingredients, words or elements. The most successful people have “failed” many times before achieving greatness. So if you are new to casting spells do not lose heart, keep going and keep up the good work.

The best way to keep track of what you are doing and the results you are getting is to write all your spells in a journal, those that you find work for you can be transferred into a grimoire or book of shadows. There are many things to record to ensure you can look back, assess the results of your spells and, as a result, be clear about what has and hasn’t worked for you. I recommend you record:

  • where you cast the spell
  • what emotions you were feeling before,during and after the spell casting
  • the symbols and ingredients you used
  • the phase of the moon (and other relevant planets, if you have knowledge in that arena)
  • what you say and what your thoughts are (also any sounds, images, smells that come to you while you are casting)

Armed with all this information, plus any feedback or events that you associate with the success or failure of the spell, you will grow in Magickal stature if you practice regularly and stay connected with your source of Magick.

This goes even more so for love spells as if you not only practice spell casting and connection to your source of Magick BUT also practice unconditional love you will attract more love into you life at the same time.

“Love, and more love becomes available; use more and you have more. This is the law of life. You can eat the cake and have it also. Compassion, love, activity, whatsoever the dimension, the same rule applies. Whatsoever you want more of, do the same. If you want to become an infinite source of love, then go on sharing love as much as you can. Don’t be a miser; only misers lose energy. And we are all misers, that’s why we always feel dissipated.” Osho

Blessed Be

Imbolc – The Light is Returning

Jan 16

With Imbolc approaching it is a time for appreciating that the dark Winter nights are retreating and the Spring days of rebirth are not far round the corner. Imbolc is the time of year recognized as the the time when the first lambs are born (Imbolc and it’s alternative oimelc are related to ewe’s milk and pregnant ewes). Imbolc is also related to purity, growth and renewal. So it’s a great time to clear out or set yourself free from a past relationship. Have you been hanging on to memories of a past love? Tokens, photograph that do not serve you or just bring sad memories? Imbolc is a great time to clear your energetic connections to the past and return a pure and renewed spirit.

Brighid in her many forms is strongly associated with Imbolc and she is renowned for her patronage of poets, smiths and healing. So a good way to celebrate your cleansing would be to write a poem giving thanks for the healing of the past and celebrating the renewal of your cleansed spirit. The poem doesn’t have to be perfect, to rhyme or have a wonderful rhythm, it just has to speak to your soul and come from your heart.

You can then work the poem as a prayer or a spell into a ritual cleansing which may take the form of an offering to Brighid, a cleansing bath or a burning ritual, after all Brighid is the Goddess of the hearth as well as cleansing so a bit of fire is very appropriate.

And if you get the chance check out the the Marsden Imbolc Festival.

Yuletide and Winter Solstice – Death and Rebirth

Dec 16

The Winter Solstice is 21st December and is the shortest day of the year. The beliefs around this day are that the promise of the return of light is a great reason to celebrate during the often dismal winter months. The power is in the rebirth of the sun and that power can be harnessed through gratitude for the year that’s passed and the preparations for the year to come.

Winter Solstice is a time of new beginnings. It is also a time to cut ties to old relationships and clear out to ready space for all the wonderful things you will receive in the coming year. In terms of love that means it is a great time to sever your ties to past loves that no longer serve you and if you are in a relationship it is fabulous time to renew your commitment to your soulmate.

If you decide to renew your commitment to soulmate with friends and family as witness then ask them to form a circle around the ceremony. Within the circle will be you and your soulmate and a priest/priestess or someone connected to the universe, this allows you to be focussed on each other while another ensures that the ceremony runs smoothly. Preparations should include candles, red (love), green (evergreen for everlasting love) and white (healing and protection), ivy (feminine) and holly (masculine) and some incense such as rose or jasmine.

You can follow a ritual such as handfasting or exchange eternity rings, with crystals such as green tourmaline or rose quartz. Handfasting is a traditional method of commitment to another and symbolises the union of two spirits, as does the exchange of rings.

Words are another powerful way of showing commitment to each other, they should represent your commitment to each other and your connection to the universal energy or magick. You can either commission some vows or work together to create some that really resonate within your hearts. This time of year is always a great time for celebration so why not celebrate yourselves with the people you love.
