Spell for Lighting the Way
This is a spell so that someone may notice the pathway to you. I have written two variations: one for love, one for employment. These are not spells to cause someone to choose you (either choose to love you or choose to employ you), as that is probably impossible and definitely unethical, but rather it is meant to ensure that you are noticed, that you are given a fair chance, and that you are considered.
This is an ideal version of the spell that I wrote, and is considerably more complicated than the spell I ended up performing, because I was not able to have all the materials I wanted at the time I needed to perform it. I imagined that this was the spell I was performing, however, and got the intended results.
Materials
Altarspace
Wand
Boline
Cutting board
White candle (or candle representing the god and goddess)
Candle representing yourself
Candle representing the other party
Matches
Spoon or Citrus Juicer
Chalice
Jar
Ribbon or String (purple for psychic clarity, communication, persuasiveness, red for love, or green for employment; natural colors will work fine as well)
Something that symbolizes you and what you have to offer
Something that symbolizes the other party and what they have to offer
Lemon (whole; for removing blockages, opening pathway; also for love)
Orris Root (to promote popularity; to aid communication & help open dialogs; also used to draw or hold love, romance)
Cloves (to gain what is sought, to attract attention of other people and banish negativity, to bring people together, create a sense of kinship; for clarity)
Coriander (for union, bringing people together, peace & protection)
Ginger (to draw adventure and new experiences)
Mint (to promote energy, communication, vitality, success; to draw customers)
Orange Peel (to help someone make up their mind; for luck in business negotiations; for love and business blessings)
Rosemary (to improve memory and aid in clear thinking)
Salt (for protection)
Method
Cast a circle, and ask for the blessing of the god and goddess as they watch over your work. Light the white candle that you may be guided by the light of their wisdom.
With the boline, cut the lemon in half vertically on the cutting board. With the spoon or citrus juicer, juice the lemon into the chalice. Put the seeds back into the lemon halves, and set the halves open-side-up on the cutting board/altarspace. The left half symbolizes you, and the right half symbolizes the other party.
In the left half of the lemon, which symbolizes you, place the ginger, the mint, and the item which symbolizes you and what you have to offer. Sprinkle some salt on top of this. Lift this half into the air with both hands and recite the following:
(For love)
I am ready and willing
to offer the best that I can give.
I am able and eager
to bring the things that you require.
I ask only to be noticed,
to be fairly considered,
and for it to be known
that I bring love
and my heart is warm.
(For employment)
I am ready and willing
to offer the best that I can give.
I am able and eager
to bring the things that you require.
I ask only to be noticed,
to be fairly considered,
and for it to be known
that I bring potential
and a tenacious spirit.
Carve the following bindrune into the candle representing you, and light it with the candle representing Spirit.
In the right half of the lemon, which symbolizes the other party, place the orange peel, the rosemary, and the item which symbolizes the other party and what they have to offer. Sprinkle some salt on top of this. Lift this half into the air with both hands and recite the following:
May the path be open
from you to me,
may it be ready and clear to you,
and strong for the weight of your feet.
May the way be lit
by the goddess and god,
bright and welcoming
that it may be clear for you to understand
the love (/gifts) I have to offer.
May you see the way
from you to me,
and fairly judge whether
it be the best way to walk.
Carve the following bindrune into the candle representing the other party, and light it from the candle representing you.
Drip wax from the You candle into the Other Party lemon. Drip wax from the Other Party candle into the You lemon. Add the Orris Root, Cloves, and Coriander evenly to both halves of the lemon, except also add a small amount of ground Orris Root to the lemon juice in the chalice.
Join the two lemon halves together as best as you can fit them, and tie them together with the string or ribbon with three knots, three times around. Drip wax from both candles onto the knots you tied.
Drink the lemon juice and orris root potion with the intent of bringing the other party into yourself. Pinch the candles. Close the circle. Bury the lemon in the earth as near to the other party as reasonable. Bury both candles in the earth as near to you as reasonable.
