Spell-Struck
“Spell for Peaceful Separation & Protection!©”
The holidays are upon us! We see pictures of postcards and greeting cards that show the Currier & Ives© pictures of how families are supposed to be—how we’re all smiling, sitting at a family dinner, sharing funny stories and laughing heartily as the fire blazes in the background and the cat is curled up on the mat in front of the fire. Snow is falling and there are no troubles in the world. Just joy. Yes, that would be wonderful, but for many, this is not the picture of their holidays with their families. First, we are assuming everyone has family to spend the holidays with. This again, is not always the case. Actually, and unfortunately so, the holidays can be a very difficult time for a lot of people. There are a LOT of stressors during this time from Thanksgiving through New Years. A lot of depression flocks many people and for some, they just want the holidays to be over.
Many feel obliged to attend the annual family dinner or gathering when, if given the choice, they would not want to spend their precious free time with these people. That may sound harsh, but it IS how many feel. Unfortunately their family of origin may not be all that ideal and family dysfunctional dynamics may run rampant. Who would want to look forward to that? You, dear reader, may be one of these people. Well, you’re not alone.
So, summing this up, you may HAVE to go to that family gathering and just do the best you can. You know, showing up, putting the fake smile on and not reacting to that uncle who drinks too much; or trying not to fly off the handle when Aunt Millie critiques your hair for the third time in a half and hour or respond when your mother comments on your weight for the umpteenth time. Yes, sometimes we simply NEED to do some things and there’s no getting out of it.
So, in times like that, there are things you CAN DO that can help you feel empowered and more relaxed in such settings. This spell just may help put the Jolly back in your Holidays!
I hope this helps and I hope and pray more than anything, you’re your holidays are Blessed beyond measure and that you laugh heartily, eat well, and enjoy the company of those that adore you!
Peaceful Separation & Protection Spell
There are times when we must emotionally separate from people and/or situations for our well being and theirs. It can be difficult with emotions highly charged. When faced with this situation or situation(s), getting all the help we can is vital. With INTENT being the first and foremost important player in a peaceful emotional separation, other “physical” adjuncts are not necessarily a bad idea. That’s where this spell comes in…just in the nick of time. Using this spell along with your intent and focus, will help swiftly bring about the peacefulness you need along with needed protection for your physical well being and heart and mind and spirit.
In addition to the above, this spell can also help with “cooling” volatile situations down by putting “them” on ice. Change it up as you ‘feel led to’ as that is what magick is all about. The possibilities of this are endless. Remember…Keep your goal and intent pure.
Moon Phase: Any time (if waning, use this spell in “banishing/freezing/stopping/deterring danger/harm” form; if the moon is in a waxing phase, use this spell in a “bring about peace, cooperativeness, protection, drawing those things to you form, etc)
Day: Any day (Sat is good for protection; Wed for communication; Monday for family and home; Tues for courage; Thurs and Sun are good for money, business matters and success)
Planet: Saturn or Pluto
Supplies:
- A piece of paper
- A all-around protection oil;
- a pen;
- a bag(plastic);
- your freezer and
- some water.
Now…here comes the part you need to be willing to do. Don’t rush this. Sit down; get a cup of relaxing tea; Take a few deep breaths and PRIOR to doing the actual spell, clear your head and write the name of the person(s) and/or situation(s) that are involved—detailing the situation completely. TAKE YOUR TIME! When did the challenge/problem arise? What is happening now with it? What is your desire regarding the situation/him/her? Why are you performing a spell such as this to begin with?(you should know this answer or you should not do the spell,) Remember, this spell is actually a physical act that helps manifest the intent.
Write everything you can think of. It’s okay if it’s 3 pages long or if it’s just one paragraph…as long as you have covered it completely. Put a vertical line on the paper (this is the rune Isa). Put this Rune picture at the bottom of what you have written.
Once you have done this, you need to prepare for the spell work. Do this when you won’t be interrupted. You may choose to take a Ritual Bath which is nothing more than soaking in appropriate salts with herbs/oils (lavender works wonders for protection, in addition to be wonderful for your skin and mood) for the given spell and focusing your intent while you soak and envisioning the outcome desired.
Purify your space (smudge, light incense, sprinkle salt/water…)
Everyone has a different method for preparing for their ritual. Whatever is your method, make sure you are in, what feels to you as Sacred Space and have the protection you need (i.e., casting a circle – which you can do by simply visualizing a blue flame of light encircling you; calling the Quarters or Elements which can be done in any form of your choosing or not at all…it is basically just recognizing the Guardians of North, South, East and West and asking for their protection and inviting them in your presence. You can also have those elements symbolized to represent Earth, Air, Fire and Water and this can also be done to your liking. If you need further assistance with this area of the ritual, please email Under The New Moon at [email protected] ),
Anoint yourself with the Oil (however you feel comfortable and internally led to…this may change each time you do the ritual.)
Fold the paper(s) into a small square;
Anoint the paper(s) with the Oil
and put the paper(s) in the baggie. (if the problem is really difficult, add water to cover the paper and make sure the bag is sealed well; if it’s minor, just add the paper to the bag with no water) Seal the bag.
Hold the bag in your dominant hand and visualize your situation (basically visualize everything you wrote down on the paper AND ENVISION THE DESIRED OUTCOME), then say the following OR change to make it more natural for you (remember, your magick lies within you!):
Bring Peaceful Separation NOW~
Bring Peace & Calm & This is How~
Restore Harmony, Joy & Delight~
Make Amicable and Protect, This is my Right~
Personal Advocacy, Guarding of My Heart I Seek~
With Peace & Love That Does Flow Free.
It shall not Release, Until It shall Unfreeze.
And when I unfreeze this(these) Written Page(s) of Life,
All will be well, with no strife.
‘An Harm It None, This Spell Is Done.
Always works; always a blessing.
Now while still in your spell and magickal ‘framework of mind,’ place the baggie in the very back of the freezer behind whatever, where you are sure it won’t be disturbed.
Leave the baggie in there as long as you want/feel necessary. Remembering that when you do unfreeze it and release the spell, you are confident that the situation has resolved and knowing that your initial spellwork still protects you after it is completed (unfreezes), you need not worry. However, you can feel free to leave it in the freezer indefinitely – as no harm will come to anyone.
This spell never hurts anyone (as long as intent is pure.) As with all spells, your INTENT is EVERYTHING ~~ Be positive, even in a ‘conflict type setting’ – Remember Karma… J Now, go~~relax~~enjoy the holidays! Anticipate a stress-free environment.
