			<title>Body Pendulum Dowsing</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10121</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Like dowsing with a pendulum, the body can be used to tap into energy, establishing a "yes" and a "no" and answering simple questions.Use your body to divine. Learn its "yes" and "no." It is always with you, and free to use. There's nothing to buy, to remember, or to lose.Stand with your feet on the ground and connect to earth energy. Breathe deeply and relax (air energy). Bless your brain and nervous system (fire). Express gratitude for your blood and lymph system (water). Bring your attention to your middle (spirit).Keep your head neutral and lower your eyes.State your birth date. Notice any shift in your body? This is probably a "yes."Say, "I am 92 years old." Notice the shift? This is probably a "no" (unless you are 92).Form simple questions or statements, yes or no, true or false.Use your body to ask questions and divine sacred answers.]]></description>

			<title>Spell Jar for  Communication</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10120</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Open communication is necessary for well-balanced relationships. When we are struggling to connect with others, it can be difficult to find the right way to present our information. To foster effective communication, we can create a spell jar.You will need a small jar with a lid, such as a pint Mason jar. Find items that represent air and communication. Some herbs, crystals, and oils that can be used include mint, dill, lavender, jasmine, lily of the valley, bergamot, opal, and agate. Arrange the components in the jar and then fill the remainder with the smoke of your favorite incense. When you are sealing the jar, say:As I seal this jar tight, let good communication be the result of this rite. Keep the jar in the vicinity of where you need improved communication skills.]]></description>

			<title>Ice Cream Alchemy</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10119</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Today, transform a stubborn problem with one powerful magical ingredient: ice cream. Consult with your inner child about what ice cream treat would be most delicious and fun while also keeping any important dietary restrictions (like diabetes, allergies, or veganism) in mind to find something that works on all counts. You can take yourself out somewhere special or stay in.Once you've obtained your sundae, cone, popsicle, sandwich, or scoop, take a deep breath or two. Make the conscious choice to let go of worry and rumination about your problem just for now. Inwardly or aloud, say:Pleasure heals, fun unbinds. As I enjoy this magical treat, my problem subsides. In its place, blessings overflow. Now relax, smile, and enjoy your ice cream. With each bite, notice your joy. Continue to let go of worry as needed and instead feel a natural upwelling of pleasant excitement and curiosity to see how your problem will dissolve and magic will unfold.]]></description>

			<title>Fading Crystals</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10118</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Crystals are beautiful and special, so intentionally letting go of one can be difficult. It can also be hard to let go of bad habits, just in a slightly different way. This spell joins the two in an act of sacrificing something you enjoy for the sake of something better. For this spell you'll need a crystal that fades in sunlight, such as chalcedony, amethyst, or citrine.Carry the crystal with you while engaging in the habit you want to break, letting it absorb the energy of the behavior. Place the crystal someplace where it will regularly receive direct sunlight, then walk away from it. Some weeks later, check on your crystal. Has it faded? Has your habit decreased?Remember, the crystal fading is a perfectly natural phenomenon, like the passage of time or the changing color of leaves. It's also natural to decide to let go of something you enjoy for the sake of your health.]]></description>

			<title>A Harvest of Color Ritual</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10117</link>
			<description><![CDATA[It's August, and the gardens and roadsides are brimming with color. Zinnias, tall phlox, and cosmos brighten flower beds. Black-eyed Susans gleam along roadsides, spreading their golden hue. It's a harvest of color. Everywhere you look, there's a color celebration going on. This informal ritual encourages you to bring this harvest of colors indoors.You'll need some cut flowers and containers. For containers, use your imaginationandmdash;vases, jars, jugs, mugs, or old coffee cups are some possibilities. If you have no garden flowers of your own, no problem. Buy some at a florist, grocery store, or farmers' market. When ready, display your flowers around your home. Don't forget to place some on your altar. When you're done, say:In this house there is no darkness or gloom, Because August flowers brighten each room! Enjoy your flowers. As they fade, compost them or throw them out.]]></description>

			<title>A Breath of Fresh Air</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10116</link>
			<description><![CDATA[This spell is so easy. It's portable, you can do it anywhere, it doesn't require any tools or special items, and it can be done in solitude or in a crowded place, solo or with a group.First, know what you want to achieve. When the moon is waxing, it's time to focus on drawing things to you. (When the moon is waning, it's best to focus on banishing or pushing things away.) Quiet your mind and open your heart. Fold your hands in prayer and put one index finger lightly over each nostril. You're going to breathe in through one side and out through the other by closing the alternate nostril with your index finger. Envision what you want to draw to you as you inhale through your right nostril, then see what you want to release as you exhale through the left nostril. Your body will naturally alternate nostrils throughout the day. You're just controlling the pattern and setting a magical intention with this exercise.]]></description>

			<title>Magnetic Magick Charm</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10115</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Create this magick charm to attract to yourself prosperity, abundance, and general success. Choose a strong magnet with a surface area of at least two square inches. Write your name in the middle of this magnet. Next, get a selection of steel paperclips, the old-fashioned kind that aren't coated in plastic. Think of the form in which you would like your bounty of good fortune to arrive. Are you wishing for more money to flow to you, or are you wanting your flow of business clients and customers to increase? Are you hoping for more real estate opportunities, a huge crop yield, or more beneficial connections to come your way? Whatever you decide on, handle the paperclips and think of them as being the boon that you wish for. Then add these paperclips one by one to the magnet, imagining yourself with a magnetic force around you that attracts to you all that you want and need. Keep the paperclips on the magnet until the charm has worked its magick.]]></description>

			<title>Lucky 13</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10114</link>
			<description><![CDATA[In popular culture, the number 13 is given dark and negative connotations. On the flip side, in Hoodoo, 13 is an important number in spellwork and rituals. Here is a spell to usher prosperity into your life.Run a shallow, warm bath. Put a chunk of fool's gold on the side of the bath. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon powdered basil and 7 drops of holy basil oil. Swirl 13 bay leaves into the bath. Then add 1 tablespoon powdered five-finger grass while the water is still swirling.Safely burn a green candle in a holder nearby. Lather and rinse in the bath 13 times using your favorite green soap. Drain and clean the tub. Rinse yourself in the shower. Reflect on the green candle as you wish for the type of prosperity you desire in your life. Extinguish the candle when done.]]></description>

			<title>Lather, Rinse, Repeat</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10113</link>
			<description><![CDATA[This simple spell is a great way to address minor annoyances and frustrations. It can be performed just about any time and is subtle enough to be done in public. You just need access to a sink and some hand soap.Approach the sink and think about the energy you want to be rid of. Turn on the water and lather your hands with soap. (A soap with cleansing properties, like pine or rosemary, would be ideal, but any will do.) As you thoroughly scrub your hands, envision the soap picking up the unwanted energy and lifting it out of your aura. As you rinse, envision the unwanted energy cascading off your hands and down the drain. Flick the excess water off your hands and into the sink while saying to yourself, "I wash my hands of it."Repeat this as often as needed.]]></description>

			<title>Wish Upon a Shooting Star</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=10112</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Our ancestors have been observing the spectacular natural phenomenon of the Perseids meteor shower likely for centuries. Earth swings by this cluster of meteors around this time of year, right at the peak of Leo season. We are filled with the energy of possibilities, dreams, and the glittering confidence that we really might be able to have it all. We want to take off like a shooting star! This is the perfect time to tap into a favorite spell from childhood.If you are able, find a dark place where you can look up at the night sky and await the falling stars. As you wait, hold in your heart the vision of your goals, dreams, and desires coming to fruition in a dazzling display of magic. When you see your sparkling sign, the shooting stars of the Perseids, blow a kiss and let that wish fly. If you like, you can also use sparklers to cast your wish, sending your dreams out like a comet in the night.]]></description>
