Ridding Spell
A spell to be rid of an
affliction
This spell can
be used to rid one's self of many sorts of afflictions and to
renew one's strength following an
affliction.
You will
need:
- a quart of fresh spring water
- a large bowl
- two small bowls
- a silver knife
- a lock of lamb's wool
- pure, virgin olive oil
- red wine vinegar
- a circle of white, cotton cloth
- a few blades of green grass
- a beeswax
candle
Pour the
spring water into a large bowl placed in a dark room on a flat
surface, such as a tabletop. Light the beeswax candle. By
candlelight, take the silver knife and write with its point
upon the water's surface, the name of that which afflicts
you.
Pour some
olive oil in one of the small bowls and soak the lambs wool in
the
oil.
Next, pour
some red wine vinegar in the other bowl and soak the lambs wool
in the
vinegar.
Remove the
wool from the vinegar and drop it into the water. Speak the
following words
aloud:
Dark be
lightened,
Harsh made gentle,
Sour sweetened,
Through the power of the blade,
And the water's
strength.
Leave the
lamb's wool there to soak all night, until sunrise, when it
should be removed, wrung out, and set to dry upon a small
circle of white cotton cloth. Meanwhile, the contents of the
bowl should be emptied out onto the ground. When the lamb's
wool is fully dry, it should be sewn up in the circle of cotton
cloth and pinned beneath your clothing, to be worn there for a
full month. Thereafter, the pouch of wool should be kept in a
safe, secret place, so that its powers will not
diminish.
