SPELL-A-DAY

Feast a House Spirit Spell

Many of us live in a home that has a spirit presence. Sometimes we know they are around by unusual occurrences. Usually these house spirits are well-behaved, but they like to know theyandrsquo;re welcome. A good way to communicate this to them is to acknowledge their presence and follow up with a bit of food and drink.Begin this ritual at dusk. You'll need a white candle in a secure holder, an apple on a plate, and a glass of red wine or grape juice. Safely light the candle. Carry the candle about your home as you say:Spirit, you are the mist at the end of the hall And the shadow that moves across the wall. Your unseen hands slam the doors, And I hear your footsteps across the floor. I welcome you with this candle's glow. You're welcome to stay, or feel free to go.Reside here in peace if you wish to stay, Or move on and go your way. Now, spirit, to end this spell, I wish to feast you well. Safely snuff out the candle, and use it for other rituals if you wish. Set the apple and wine/juice on a table. At midnight or the next day, compost the apple or throw it in the trash. Pour the wine/juice upon the earth outside. Your spirit thanks you.

Ofrenda

November 2 is Dandiacute;a de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a day to celebrate the ancestors who have left us. A key element of Dandiacute;a de los Muertos is the ofrenda, a large altar to celebrate the ancestors. As a practitioner, you can create an ofrenda to initiate or maintain a relationship with the ancestors to facilitate future workings.First clear a dedicated space large enough to hold your offerings. In this space, youandrsquo;ll place photos of those who have passed beyond the veil. These can be ancestors of blood (such as grandparents) or ancestors of spirit (these are deceased luminaries you admire, for example, Carrie Fisher).Then decorate the altar with orange marigolds (these can be fresh flowers, paper flowers, or even pictures) and, optionally, papel picado (cut-out tissue paper decorations that can easily be found at Latin markets or on the web). Finally, add your offerings. These should be things that your ancestors enjoyed in life, like their favorite foods (especially pan de muerto), drinks, movies, etc.

Kitchen Witch Cleanse

Witches, it's time to cleanse, clear, protect, and bless your space.Cleanse: Scatter sea salt throughout your home, absorbing all negativity.Clear: Open doors, circulate air, and sweep and gather up the salt. Dispose of it away from home.Protect: Hang St. John's wort over your main door for protection. It also acts against depression. Hang a braid of garlic over the hearth to repel negativity and promote health.Bless: Place lavender (fresh or dried) in your entrance to promote peace and ease. Add mugwort or rosemary to your altar for magical power, clarity, and psychic insight.These sacred herbs can also be used for cooking and making bath products, keeping you safe, healthy, happy, and gorgeous through the growing dark.

Pumpkin Carving with Intention

At Samhain, many people believe that the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is thin and that communication with ancestors is possible. It's a perfect time to set out an offering for those who have passed. Set up some photos or items associated with those you wish to honor. Then scoop out the insides of your pumpkin and carve a face into it.As you carve the eyes, think about how your worldview has been shaped by your ancestors. As you carve the nose, feel gratitude for how you can breathe in the wonders of the earth during your time here, just as your ancestors did.As you carve the mouth, think about communication. Perhaps you speak a different language than your ancestors did, but the spiritual connection overrides this and allows you to communicate with them.Place a candle or light in the jack-o-lantern and display it as an offering to the dead.

A Prayer for the Dying

Death is part of everything that lives, and that sometimes means things are sad or uncomfortable. With tomorrow being Samhain, remembering the dead seems appropriate, through All Hallows' Eve, All Saints' Day, and All Souls' Day (October 31 to November 2). This is a very simple spell for all ages and experience levels, and it should help with feelings of distress or discomfort. It is suitable for this time of year but may be used at any time a memorial is appropriate.Simply quiet yourself and write down the names of all of those who have passed and whom you want to remember. Safely light a candle (I prefer white, but black or a seasonal color would work too) and read the names out loud, pausing to recall a memory connected to each personandmdash;even if that memory is simply why you chose to remember them. This is a great solo activity, but it seems to gain power when done in a group. Members can read their own list, or a communal list can be read by one person. Extinguish the candle when done.
