Welcome to Gaia! ::

This week's theme is Time.

Here's some options to consider:

1) Spells that literally deal with changing/manipulating Time.
2) Spells that have to be done at a certain Time (hour).
3) Spells that have to be done at a certain Time (day, week, month, Season).

Mostly this can be a variety spell.

Now I will allow personal spells for those who have participated two times in a row and completed all four readaptions - which I can list who has the ability to do so should people want that information.

I assume that season as well as moon phase would also count in this practice?

author Sister Moon
Author of Spell: Aquila Eagle
Title of Spell The Ostara Chandelier

Magickal Intention: To experience growth on all levels of existence.
Time: March 21 or 22, Mars Hour

Tools:
One multicolored candle
Honeysuckle oil
Dragon's Blood Incense
Five sturdy, large, naturally fallen branches of a similar size (thistle works great)
twine
Five pieces of parchment ion blue, purple, green gold, and pink.
Potting soil
five small pots
Eight seeds each of snapdragon, basil, tarragon, ginger, and bloodroot.

Instructions:

Anoint the candles with the oil. Light the candles and the incense.

Create a pentagram with the branches and tie them together tightly with the twine at each end of the corners.

On the blue parchment write: "All will arise and enter to find, snapdragons with protection in the mind." Fill one pot halfway with soil and add the snapdragon seeds. Anoint the blue parchment with honeysuckle oil.

On the green parchment write: "A prosperous future is in the levels, that basil provides willingly." Fill a second pot halfway with soil, and add the basil seeds. Anoint the green parchment with honeysuckle oil.

On the purple parchment write: "Psychic powers will grow in time, with help from the scent of tarragon." Fill a third pot halfway with soil and add the tarragon seeds. Anoint the purple parchment with Honeysuckle oil.

On the gold parchment, write: "With ginger roots fixed and strong, there will be success to follow along." Fill the fourth pot halfway with soil and add the ginger seeds. Anoint the gold parchment with Honeysuckle oil.

On the pink parchment, write: "Showers of love for those who wait, for perfect bloodroot to awake." Fill the fifth pot halfway with soil and add the bloodroot seeds. Anoint the pink parchment with Honeysuckle oil.

Pass all five parchments through the incense smoke and recite the incantation. Set each parchment alight with the flame of the multicolored candle, and allow them to burn to ash keeping the ashes separate.

After the ashes have cooled, place them with the seeds of the appropriate pot (ashes of the blue parchment go in the pot with the snapdragon seeds, for example). Fill the pots the rest of the way with soil and water them. Place each pot in one of the slots made by the five points of the branch pentagram and hand it as a decorative chandelier near a window with southern exposure. As the seeds grow, so will all of the areas of your life.

Incantation:

Equal in time, between day and night, new life
begins under both lights.
All will arise and enter to find, snapdragons with protection in mind.
A prosperous future is in the leaves, that basil provides willingly.
Psychic powers will grow in time, with help from the scent of tarragon
With ginger roots fixed and strong, there will be success to follow along.
Showers of love for those who wait, for the perfect bloodroot to awake.
Thistle for strength to hold us strong, while Dragon's Blood has good intentions.
Soft with a touch of gentleness, honeysuckle is the kiss.
New life begins all around, while in the same of the crown.
So mote it be.

Bad homework! Make Vox less busy!

When I mentioned that I had a completely different spell and source in mind to modify for this week. In many ways it is similar to the one that you posted in that it also takes place on that specific day. Thought it wasn't written as a spell persay, but part of the ritual described for Ostara.

Good luck. This weekend I have a lot of stuff to do for school and I need to start reworking my resume and look for a part time job. I'm not as busy but I understand. I still look forward to each of your spells.

Readaption 1.

Get a big ol' pot that's maybe a two or three inches deep and circular. Something like this.

Now, I should mention, I don't really consider particular herbs to have particular meanings - which is something that this spell expects. But I will day that I like the flowers I'm using with this example.

Find a location to put the pot first.

Get a series of 5 flowers or herbs - 5 seeds a piece (because they'll be fighting for space anymore than that). Make sure that they can all do the amount of sun that you're gonna have them placed at. I prefer cockscomb, mint, Chamomile, Dill, and Lavender plants.

I would first mark areas of life that I want to improve upon in the next year on the bottom of the pot (or on biodegradable paper) like "Wealth, happiness, etc" with a pen.

Then I'd fill the pot with fertilizing soil, and make mounds (or volcanoes looking things) for the seeds over the paper/words. So it might be useful to have something sticking out of the pot to mark exactly where the word/paper is (like a tongue depressor).

Then I'd plant the seeds over the words.

Then I'd cultivate.

I'd probably make the corners of a star - as well. but sometimes other shapes like a circle or a where ever the plant will fit best would be where I'd put it. So maybe a circle with something in the middle.

Or on the four directions and something in the middle.
