Pomegranate Spell
to gain wisdom

You will need:
one charcoal disk in a fireproof dish
one purple candle
matches or a lighter
two tablespoons dried Dittany of Crete (you can use oregano as a substitute)
one whole pomegranate
one sharp knife

1. Cast your Mabon circle
2. Light the charcoal disk, then the candle, saying:
I call upon Inanna, queen of heaven
Earth, and the land of the dead
Wise beyond reckoning
to bless my request
and guide my footsteps
through the darkness
3. Sprinkle the dittany/oregano on the charcoal
4. Slice open the pomegranate, then extract six seeds and eat them.
5. Close your eyes. Imagine yourself sinking into the darkness behind your eyelids, going deep into the dark, where there is nothing but silence. Remain there for as llong as possible; then slowly return to the circle.
6. Blow out the candle, and burn it for an hour at each sunset until it is gone.
7. Bury the pomegranate deep in your garden, and keep a dream diary through the winter.


Willow Barge Spell
to cast off sorrow

You will need:
Five willow switches 12" in length (if you don't have this, grapevine or ivy switches work great. If not any of these, just some flexible dried twigs.)
one reel of natural twine (hemp string works great)
one thin twig 8" in length
one 4" square of paper
one 3" by 1" strip of paper for each sorrow
one white candle
matches or a lighter

This spell is best cast by a running water source, in which to cast the barge into, a lake, river, ocean, or if you have none of these as an option, a gutter with water flowing to wash away the ashes.

1. Construct a 'long ship' shape by bending and fastening the switches, using two to form the rim of the hull and the others to shape the rest of it.
2. Secure the 8" twig "mast" and thread the paper "sail" onto it.
3. Write one of the sorrows on a strip of paper, and fasten them to the mast.
4. Place your boat next to the water. Plant the candle in the sand, and light it, saying:
Set sail to the west
across the water
away from my heart
all sorrows named.
5. Place your right hand on the mast, and mentally send all anguish and regrets you have named into the boat.
6. Drip the candle wax onto your willow barge, and set it alight. Watch until the tide carries the remains.


Apple seed spell
to obtain arcane knowledge

You will need:
one black candle
matches or a lighter
one seeded apple
one sharp knife
one white drawstring pouch
one 24" length of fine cord

1. Light the candle, saying:
Old one of the apples,
waiting with your sickle,
give me the courage
to grow in your knowledge
2. Halve the apple horizontally, then place the seeds in the pouch and tie it around your neck.
3. Eat half of the apple, and close your eyes.
4. Imagine you are walking in an orchard of apple trees. In its center stands an ancient tree and below it, an old woman. Approach her and repeat the last two lines of the above rhyme "give me the courage to grow in your knowledge". Mark carefully all that she does and says, and when she is finished, return from your inner journey to your circle.
5. Bury the remaining half of the apple outdoors.
6. Wear the apple seed talisman for one lunar cycle, keeping a dream diary, and note any 'coincidences' that happen around you- it is now for you to interpret these symbols and their meanings.
