Named for Freya, the Norse goddess of love and beauty, Friday is also ruled by Venus, Aphrodite, and Eros. Invoke Freya by doing an attraction spell using a rose quartz, rose oil, or a rose to magnify passion. Whether you choose to attract a mate, lover, or friend, or seek to increase self-love, invoke Freya. She may bring delight to the weekend ahead.Tuck a rose quartz into your bra or shirt pocket, saying:Freya delights in heart-centered love. Dab a little rose oil, diluted with a carrier oil, behind your ears and on the hollow of your throat, saying:Freya delights in attraction and passion. Buy a single rose (red for passion, white for purity, pink for admiration, happiness, and friends) and place it in a vase on your desk or altar. Intone:Freya delights in beauty. Freya blesses all of my life with increased beauty, attraction, love, and light.
The waning moon phase is a good time to retreat within ourselves to heal, sift through our experiences, and let go of those things that no longer serve us. This is especially important during the winter months, when darker days and inclement weather can wear us down. Holiday stress can also affect us, leaving us feeling frayed and depleted of energy.This is your reminder that it's okay to take a break, nourish your soul, and ease built-up tension. For this spell you will need:1 cup dried lavender buds1 cup dried hops1 cup dried rose petalsA bowl1 quart-size canning jar5 x 7-inch muslin drawstring bagsMix the herbs together in a bowl. Place the mixture in the canning jar and store in a cool, dry place.Light some candles and pick out some relaxing music. Place one cup of the herb mixture in a muslin drawstring bag and tie shut. Place in your bath to infuse. Enjoy this quiet time of contemplation. Extinguish the candles when done.
In the last month of the year, before the winter solstice, you can do a spell to release things. First, think about what you want to release. Releasing an attachment to an outcome is a way to regain peace about anything you might feel frustrated about. Find a dead leaf that has fallen from an autumn tree. Make sure it has enough space for you to write on it. If you cannot locate a leaf, use a small piece of biodegradable paper. Find a pencil and write down the things that you want to purge. Once you have the words written down, you can say these words:On this list are the things that I want to release, So I may regain inner peace. There is strength in being able to let things go. I release my attachment so peace will flow. Crush the leaf and rip the tiny paper. Find a place to bury the things you want to release, and be done with it.
SUse this magick to strengthen your connection to the spirit guardians that watch over the land where you live or where you're visiting. You'll need four small quartz crystals and a gallon of water. Look at a map and choose a destination to your north, a destination to the east, a destination to the south, and a destination to the west.Head to the north first and find a patch of bare ground or a tree or other plant. Kiss one of the crystals and hold it to your heart, pouring your love into the stone. Place the stone on the ground or at the base of a tree or other plant, and pour about a quart of the water in a circle surrounding your feet. Call out to any protective and helpful spirits that dwell there, telling them your name and asking directly for their help and alliance. Then head to your next destinations to the east, south, and west, repeating the process. Your connection to the local spirits will be strengthened.
Sometimes when we clean the house, it's not just dirt we're removing but also energy that has built up. It's important to cleanse it away along with the rest of the debris. Here is a simple way to trap that energy and then dispose of it.After tidying up, fill a small bowl with water. Add a piece of hematite and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Hematite acts as a magnet and lemon juice as a cleanser. Hold your hands above the bowl, close your eyes, and envision the stone acting as a magnet sucking in all negative energy. In your mind, this might look like shadowy figures or moldy spots being drawn into the water and neutralized by the lemon juice. Place the bowl somewhere in the home away from pets and children.Once a day for three days, repeat the visualization with the water. On the third day, dispose of the water. Keep the hematite for another use.
