Divination Spell

Divination Spell

Best Time: Waxing Moon

Fill a cauldron half-full of water and place it on a table where you can see comfortably into it while seated. Light 2 purple candles and a good divination incense; a combination of mugwort and wormwood work well. Arrange the candles so their light does not shine into the water in your eyes. Focus your attention on the bottom of the cauldron, your hands placed lightly on either side. Breathe gently into the water and say:

Cauldron, reveal to me that which I seek
Great Mother, open my inner eye that I may truly see.

Empty your mind as much as possible; remian relaxed while looking deep into the cauldron waters. The answer may come in images in the water, pictures in your mind and strong bursts of "knowing".

Scrying Brew

1 cup water
3 teaspoons dried Mugwort(to contact our inner wisdom)
1/4 cup dried oatstraw (comfort)
1 cinnamon stick, 2 to 3 inches long (flavour)
Maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar

Use this brew not too often and with care. Mugwort is a powerful herb.

Boil the water, then add to a teapot into which the Mugwort, oatstraw, and cinnamon stick have been placed. Steep for at least 15 minutes. Strain and pour into a dark colored mug, preferably black. Sweeten with maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar, if desired. Sit comfortably in your Power Place with your mug. Sniff your Scrying Brew, feeling the steam, warm as breath on your face.

Take a sip and savor the earthy taste. As you sip, become aware of your breathing. Is it shallow or deep, quick or slow? As you drink, be with your breath without attempting to change it. When the tea is nearly gone, gradually turn your attention to the surface of the liquid remaining in your mug. Gaze at it without much effort, simply letting yourself be with the mug and the tea. The disk where tea meets air may look silvery if it catches a light's reflection. As you look, pay some dreamy attention to the thoughts that flash through your mind like fish. What are they?

All over the world, people are scrying and dreaming tonight. What images do you see? Take as much time as you can. You may want to leave the remainder of the tea in its mug on your kitchen altar as an offering for you long-forgotten kindred who knew how to perform this ancient ritual.

Divination: The Love Pendulum

The pendulum can be used for many things: finding lost objects, discovering hidden treasures, divining water, communicating with spirits of the dead, diagnosing illness and prescribing medicine...all these and more. Gypsies use the pendulum quite a lot. One of the uses to which they put it is in determining whether or not a particular lover is the right one for you.
The pendulum itself should be a ring suspended on a length of red silk thread or ribbon. Many girls use their mother's wedding band for the ring. The only other thing you need is a connection with the one you are wondering about. This can be an article of his or her clothing, a handkerchief, a watch, ring, or other piece of jewelry, a photograph, or anything similar that has a direct link with the person.

Simply sit with the object, photograph, or whatever in front of you and hold the pendulum over it. It doesn't matter whether or not your elbow rests on the table, but hold the thread so that the ring is suspended about an inch or so above the object. Allow seven inches of the thread between your fingers and the ring.

Concentrate your thoughts on the person you are wondering about. Is he/she the right one for you? Think of all their good qualities, and their bad. Then say:

Av, ml Romani mal,

Pawdel dur chumbas.

Av kitane mansa?

This little verse in Romanes (the Gypsy language) can be roughly translated as "Come my Gypsy friend, over the hills so far away. Will you come along with me?" Repeat it, saying it three times in all.

As you say the verse the pendulum will start to swing. If it swings backwards and forwards, towards you and away from you, then it means "yes," that person is the right one for you. But if it swings from side to side, across you, then it means "no," they are not right for you. With some people the pendulum may swing in a circle, rather than backwards and forwards. If it does, then clockwise means "Yes" and counterclockwise means "No".

Talking Stone Pouch

Stones do speak to you. Rock people have much to say. They hold the history of this earth. They find that many people just don't want to take the time to listen.

Here is something that everyone can do:

Talking Stone Pouch

Pick out 5 of your favorite stones. They do not have to be precious stones or even semiprecious stones. Any stone you are drawn to. Place them in a little (or big) pouch. Sit quietly for a bit and calm yourself and ground to the Earth Mother. When you are ready, pull one stone out of the pouch and hold it in your hand. Note its color, shape and any markings it might have. Notice if is cool or warm. Then listen. You can ask if it is female or male gender energy. Ask for its message and be prepared for some wonderful conversation. Keep a small stone journal and write down its message. After thanking the stone for its message and its existence in your life, set this stone aside and proceed with the next stone.

You can put sea shells in the pouch as well and as time passes, add several other stones and shells. When you want to hear them, just pick out the stones you'd like to talk with. You can choose any number that you are inclined to seek wisdom from. You can use six stones (four for the 4 directions/elements, and one in the center to represent yourself). Pull only one stone at a time from your pouch, and listen to 1 stone at a time. Pulling more than one stone can result in conflicting or confusing messages, as all the stones will try to speak to you at once.

Valentine's Day and Love Divinations

Peel an apple in one unbroken peel and throw it over your shoulder; it will reveal the initial of your soul mate.

Brush your hair in front of a mirror on Valentine's day or Halloween and you will see the reflection of your future partner.

If you already have a partner and you want to know if they're the 'one', carve their name into a leaf and put it in your shoe overnight. If the initals are clearer they'll marry you, if not they won't.

If three unmarried women sit at a table at the same time and say "White Horses", one of them will be married within a year.

St. Agnes's Eve Maidens who fasted and prayed to this patroness of chastity and retired without eating their supper would eagerly expect to dream of the man they were destined to marry. An alternative method was to put a slice of wedding cake under their pillows before retiring.

Sprinkle licorice herb over the footprints of your lover or spouse....this will keep them faithful.

Mix cumin in your lover's food or drink to keep them faithful, especially if you're going to be separated from them for a long time

Brew Senna herb into a tea, mix in your lover's bath will also keep them faithful.

Place your fingernail filings into your lover's coffee or tea will keep him/her faithful.

Be careful using any of these methods ... and be careful what you wish for!
