Simple Holy Water

Supplies:
Water (whether you use tap water, purified water or rain water is a personal perference)
A container (I reccomend a cup)
Salt (sea or table salt will work)

*When I make this, I usually make it in either a cup or in my bath tub because I'm fond of bathing in holy water when I don't feel well. My reason for making it in a cup most of the time is that it allows for easy stirring.

Pour the water into a container. Add a few few pinches of salt. Stir the water deosil three times with the index finger of your dominent hand, saying the following as you do:
"three times round,
three times bound,
I consecrate thee, holy water."
Imagine the container filling with bright, white light.

Pretty simple, right?

Calendar Divination

Items
1 standard wall hanging calendar
An assortment of items to represent different events (good days, bad days, etc.) The items should be small enough to fit in each square. You will want to have 2 or 3 of each item.
A pouch or bag (the size depends on the size & quantity of your symbols)

*This is a cast based system, so if your symbols aren't uniform (size, shape, color), don't worry.

Timing
To do a monthly divination, cast on the last day of a month to determine the new month ahead.
To empower your items, you will want to do such while the moon is full or in Pisces

Part 1: Preparation
1) Choose your symbols. Pick 2 or 3 items to represent each idea & make sure its small enough to fit in a single calendar square.
Suggested items (coins, stones, shells, buttons, game pieces, candy)
Suggested symbols (good day, bad day, lucky day, good day for love, yes/no)
2) Make or buy a pouch that's large enough to hold all of your items.

Calendar Divination (Continued)

A drawstring pouch is perfect because you can hang it up right by your calendar.
3) If you want your calendar to include moon phases & moon signs, this is the time to include them if your calendar doesn't already have that information printed on it. You can find this information in an almanac or online.
4) Cleanse & empower all of your items

Part 2: Divination
1) Lay your calendar on a flat surface with the month you are divining laying face up. If you want to, you can lay a piece of yellow paper or cloth under your calendar, as yellow represents divination.
2) Prepare your pouch. If you are doing a monthly divination, use all of your items except for the ones that represent yes & no. (the yes/no divination will be explained below)
3) Concentrate on the month ahead as you shake the pouch.
4) Cast the items by gently shaking the bag over the calendar. Wherever each item lands, record each result.

Calendar Divination (Continued)

For example, if your symbol for a good day lands on the fifteenth, write something like "good day" in that square.
5) If you wish to find out if you should perform a task at a specific time (day, moon phase, moon sign), place only the items that represent yes & no in the pouch. Cast the items onto the calendar. The item that lands closest to the time in question is your answer.

Circle Talisman

Items
Any special item you wish to use

The purpose of this item is to store the energy of the circles you cast so that later you can create a circle just using visualization and the talisman. I recommend using this for small, personal, temporary circles.

1) Cast a circle as you normally do. If your talisman is small enough, carry it with you as you cast the circle.
2) Keep the talisman in the circle for as long as the circle is up. If you have no spell work or ritual planned, you may simply stay and enjoy being in the circle for a time.
3) When you are ready to release the circle, carry the talisman with you and visualize the energy of the circle moving into the talisman.
4) Repeat steps 1-3 every time you cast a circle. After a few times, you should have enough energy stored to start using the talisman.
5) When you are ready to cast a circle using the talisman, hold it in your preceiving hand.

Circle Talisman (Continued)

Visualize a beam of light coming out of the talisman and creating a circle around you. Place the talisman on the floor/ground near the edge of the circle.
6) When you release the circle, repeat step 3.
To recharge your talisman, repeat steps 1-3. How often you recharge your talisman depends on how often you use it. If you are unsure if your talisman needs a charge, use your intuition and/or meditate.
