Full Moon Spell May 5, 2012

Posted on May 2, 2012 by Holly Zurich Leave a comment

The full moon on May 5th is known as Flower Moon or Merry Moon. Corresponding flowers are lily of the valley and foxglove; stones are emerald and amber. Sun sign Taurus, (April 21 – May 21), is in force for most of the month, indicating a full water moon in Scorpio.

A Scorpio moon is an ideal time for warrior spells to win battles and increase personal power, courage and charisma.  You can create a personal power talisman or amulet to increase your chances of success in any endeavour. Magickal talismans are usually filled with herbs, but you can substitute a favourite piece of your own jewellery for this purpose.

May 5 Full Moon is a Supermoon

Saturday’s full moon will be closer to the earth than usual and will be bigger and brighter as well. It will seem largest right after sunset, as it rises above the horizon.

See my earlier post about a simple spell to create a personal power talisman using the super energy of the May 5 full supermoon. 

I am currently compiling a reference guide for full moon spells,which will include 13 rituals and appropriate recipes. I hope to have it ready for you as an eBook before the next full moon.

Blessed be!

Beltane Love Spell May 1, 2012

Posted on April 12, 2012 by Holly Zurich Leave a comment

A Spell for New Love and Companionship

The feast of Beltane is the traditional Wiccan celebration of fertility and creative energy. The Goddess Flora and the Green Man are patrons of this day and Fairies abound in the woods.  Beltane is also an ideal time to perform spells and rituals to bring romance into your life, or to get married.

This love spell is an abbreviated version from my book Simple Wiccan Magick Spells for Everyday.

Wiccan Love Spell for Beltane

Before the spell, take a relaxing herbal bath in rose-scented water. When finished, set your altar with the appropriate cleansed and charged tools, including rose petals, mint and lemon peel for your talisman, paper, pen, a 9” x 9” square of red cloth, white ribbon and two red candles. Place the small red notebook on the altar as well.

Use Vervain oil to anoint your altar candles and your forehead. Place a secret – a heart charm or a shell would work well here – in the centre of your altar. Light the altar candles and a stick of Lavender incense. You will dress and light the red candles during the ritual.

The Ritual

When you are ready, walk anticlockwise at least three times around the altar to close the circle. Focus and chant, May the power of the circle bring success to my spell work, or your own special words.

Call to Venus, Goddess of Love, saying: Continue reading →

Full Moon Spell April 6, 2012

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Holly Zurich 2 Comments

April’s full moon is in Libra, opposite the sun sign of Aries.  The April full moon is known as Pink Moon, Growing Moon or Hare Moon.

This is an ideal time for spells to promote friendship and working with others.  If there has been a rift with family or friends, the April full moon is perfect for healing spells.

Wiccan Spells for Partnership & Healing

The sun sign Libra is represented by a set of scales, so spells to increase balance in your life are also suitable.  However, if you’ve been following my Wheel of the Year book Simple Wiccan Magick Spells & Ritual Ceremony, you recently completed a meditation for balance at the Spring Equinox on March 20.

Set up your altar as usual and light a stick of Lavender incense.  During ritual, ask for new understanding and tolerance and the ability to see the other person’s point of view.  This simple act may even help you to cultivate more balance in your outlook.

Blessed be!

New Moon in Aries March 22, 2012

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Holly Zurich Leave a comment

The new moon, or dark moon, will be on March 22, 2012 in the sun sign of Aries. This is a good time to perform spells to banish or decrease negative energy. 

The sun sign Aries is known for fiery tempers, bluntness and impulsiveness. You may wish to perform a dark moon spell to reduce any of these traits that may degenerate into harmful aspects.

Spell for Spring Equinox March 20, 2012

Posted on March 16, 2012 by Holly Zurich 2 Comments

The Wiccan festival of Spring Equinox will take place on March 20, 2012. Eostre or Ostara was the Goddess of Spring and in ancient times, old fires were extinguished, grates cleaned and new fires were lit.  This is the origin of our modern tradition of spring cleaning.

At the Spring or Vernal Equinox, the hours of light and darkness are of equal length.  Now is the perfect time to perform spells to find balance in your life or to cleanse your mind, body and home of old, negative influences and replace them with fresh, positive ideals.

Decorate your altar with spring flowers, like crocus, tulips and daffodils and light pastel-coloured candles, like mauve, pink and pale green. Burn lavender incense and use lily of the valley oil.

Celebrate this Wiccan festival by serving a meal with eggs, fresh greens, lamb and barley stew and hot-crossed buns.

My eBook Simple Wiccan Magick Spells & Ritual Ceremony, is an introduction to the Wheel of the Year and contains correspondences, recipes and a spell to find balance in your life.

Blessed be!

Full Moon Spell March 8, 2012

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Holly Zurich Leave a comment

The full moon of March 8,  also known as Storm Moon, will be in the Earth sign of Virgo.  This is an excellent time to perform magick spells to channel stability, security and health.

Focus your ritual on purification, releasing negative energies and dispelling worry in general, especially that which is connected to your work. Remember that nature always fills a void, so after you have removed any bad vibes, ask that they be replaced by positive energy.

Blessed be!

Dark Moon Ritual February 21, 2012

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Holly Zurich Leave a comment

Now that the full moon has passed and its waning cycle heads towards the Dark Moon on February 21st, we can begin spellwork to remove negative energy.

Your regular calendar will show a new moon on February 21st, so you may find this terminology confusing.  In the past, a new moon was defined by when you could see its first visible crescent. Now, however, a new moon is the phase when the moon is not visible to the naked eye.  If you are planning dark moon spells, this is the time to perform them.

Banish negative energy

My first book, Simple Wiccan Magick Spells & Ritual Ceremony, has been available for almost a year and has been selling very well. A while back, someone used (stole) my copyrighted book cover for their own (horrible, IMHO) work and published it online. The situation was rectified but perhaps my reputation was damaged. My book recently received a scathing review online, which did not reflect the true intent and content of my book.

Dark Moon Spell

I spent several years writing and researching and felt insulted and violated. I now understand how cyber-bullying can harm people.  I will use the waning phase of the February moon to banish this negative energy and return balance to my spirit. Though I don’t know if the reviewer was honestly mistaken or had a hidden agenda (perhaps they want to promote their own book?) I will ask that the correct target be identified.

If you have been the victim of lies or malicious gossip online, print a copy of the offending comments.  During your dark moon ritual, use a mirror to return the negative vibes to the sender and clear your aura.  Feel peace as the bad energy is catapulted away.

Later on, seal the paper in a black envelope and burn it, destroying it forever.

Blessed be!

Full Moon Spell February 7, 2012

Posted on February 4, 2012 by Holly Zurich Leave a comment

A full moon is the best time to cleanse and charge your Witches’ tools and to perform any spell work to increase positive energy and move forward.

Full moons are always in the astrological sign opposite to the sun. In other words, the February 7  full moon is in the sign of Leo. Fire sign moons, like Leo, are full of enthusiasm, energy and optimism.  Change and creativity are highlighted.

This full moon is the perfect opportunity  to enhance the positive energy flow initiated through our recent Imbolc celebrations and ritual. We must prepare by cleansing ourselves and our homes, even our office space and our mode of transport, like a car or bicycle, if we have/use one.

Bless the boundaries and create a talisman for creativity, using traditional Wiccan correspondences. As the days grow longer and our energy flow increases, get fired up about the possibility of creativity and ensuring your position at the centre of activity. Good luck and good fortune are part of the Leo full moon.

Blessed be!

Wiccan Spell for Imbolc February 1, 2012

Posted on January 21, 2012 by Holly Zurich 1 Comment

At the Wiccan festival of Imbolc, we celebrate the return of longer days. Also known as Candlemas, Imbolc literally means “in milk” and corresponds to the time of year when farm animals give birth. It is traditionally a time for Wiccan initiation ceremonies.

Another theme for Imbolc is “energy flowing beneath the surface,” which can take on many symbolic meanings. This spell is designed to help identify any blocked energy – love, creativity, etc. you may be experiencing and free it for your personal use.

On the day before Imbolc, put a crystal and moonwater in a small plastic container and freeze overnight.

The next day, set up your altar as usual and light the incense.  Carve an extra white candle with the Rune symbol for Opening. Anoint it and the other cleansed candles with Imbolc oil and then light them.  Close the Circle and summon the Four Elements and the Goddess Brigit.

During ritual, gaze into the frozen water for any insight or visions and be receptive to any vibrations or feelings you may experience.  There may be more “trapped beneath the surface” than you are aware of!  When you are ready, give thanks and open the Circle.

Return the bowl to the freezer and at night, place it on your bedside table before you go to sleep.  As the ice thaws overnight, so will the energy inside you be released.  Take special note of any dreams and keep the crystal close to you all week for further insight.  You may want to repeat this spell whenever you feel your energies are trapped or blocked.

The complete spell for Imbolc, including the ritual and recipes, is available on my first eBook, Simple Wiccan Magick Spells & Ritual Ceremony - a celebration of the Wiccan Wheel of the Year.

Blessed be!

Simple Wiccan Spells for Everyday – my new eBook

Posted on December 28, 2011 by Holly Zurich 2 Comments

I finally published my new eBook, Simple Wiccan Magick Spells for Everyday.  I had been working on these spells for a while and threw myself wholeheartedly into the project in the weeks before Yule. 

Though I always research my correspondences carefully, I spent a great deal of time on my spell for Increased Wealth and Prosperity, making a new batch of Prosperity Pentacles and subconsciously  focusing my intent as I wrote the affirmation.  Not so surprisingly, the spell worked for me in several unusual ways. 

First, I found money from our last garage sale ($219.00) in an old wallet,  a possibility I mentioned in the ritual; I received a large unexpected cheque from a relative’s estate, and my eBook sales have skyrocketed. 

 You might say these things could happen anytime, but I believe my hard work and thoughts surrounding my new book are the reason. I am so thankful for every small financial blessing, knowing it can lead the way to larger ones.

Blessed be!
