The New Moon basically means that the Moon is between 0 and 45 degrees directly in front of the Sun. Projects get off to an empowering start when launched under the New Moon.
New Moon jobs can be done from the day of, up to 3 1/2 days later. I always try to come up with a spell on New Moon day to pack in an extra witchy punch! It is likely that you will see the results by either the Full Moon or the next New Moon. Anything that involves self-improvement, farming, love, romance, or networking seems to reap great results under the New Moon. Personally, I have had great success cutting my hair around the New Moon (of course, I take into account what astrological sign the Moon is in). My hair will grow very fast and will have more oomph.
Some people feel a little uncomfortable talking about spells, while others just think the whole thing is pretty corny. I want you to know that I really respect The Craft, I’m not making fun of these things. It really works. As far as all the formalities go… well, it kept me from casting spells for a long time. All that stuff about sacred circles, consecrating this and that, wearing candles, etc… seems unnecessary and, well… it works. Again, no disrespect to Wiccans or any other faith, but it all seems a bit pretentious to me. It’s like a Catholic cathedral with all kinds of beautiful stained glass windows, amazingly beautiful, but God would love you just the same in your own bedroom at home.
I’ve been to pagan events where all the ceremonial stuff really moved me, because of all the teamwork and love involved. Although, if I’m on my kitchen counter, I’m not going to make a big production out of it. Spells are basically about expressing your intentions to the Universe. And this spell, my dear reader, is about attracting love into your life.
Before I continue, I must warn you. Trying to alter a person’s free will is a serious karmic offense. Trying to break up a couple, just so you can sneak in… well, that’s moody and embarrassing! The Universe does not tolerate fools, so if your intentions are not good, do not continue reading.
That being said, there comes a time in everyone’s life when they feel a little lonely and unloved. This little gem of a spell will have you feeling warm and fuzzy in no time. Perform it during a New Moon, but never while it is empty, of course.
Start by working on your altar, your nightstand, or your kitchen counter. What suits you. I’m sure there’s a lore-obsessed witch with a twisted face like she just smelled poo saying, “Well, never have I! You MUST have an altar! You MUST clean and form the circle! You MUST greet the Mr. and Mrs!” Fiddle sticks! All spells are ceremonies that one does to speed up one’s visualization. They give you a sense of security, knowing that you at least did SOMETHING to help in a situation. Why, I bet you could read this spell, visualize each step in vivid detail, and still manifest the same results you would if you took the trouble to. I finally stray…
As I’m about to “cast my spell,” I yell for my guardian angel, Gloria, to come along for the ride. We used to be closer when I was a little girl. I’m going to try to kick it more with Gloria. I read somewhere a long time ago that angels can’t help you unless you ASK them first. So ask now! Some people prefer to have what they call an invocation where they say a bunch of rhyming things and lightning shoots out of the angry clouds outside and thunder rumbles from a distance. To me? I just do something like this… “Hey, Gloria, it’s me, Tonyana! What’s wrong with you?”
Warm feelings throughout my body.
“Ummm…yeah, well, I was having a problem with _______ and I thought maybe we could work on it together…do you think?”
More tingling, the hairs on my arms stand up.
“Great! Good. Let’s get started!”
If you don’t know the name of your guardian angel (most people don’t), maybe just ask for it in meditation. You could also tell yourself to reveal it in your dreams tonight, or maybe just refer to them as Angel and leave it at that. Be honest and direct in what he’s trying to do, and remember not to hurt anyone.
Ahh love…..
Get two small pink candles and engrave the word “LOVE” on them. Write on an index card (or something equally suitable) what you want specifically. I prefer not to mention specific names. You could say that you want a companion, a lover, or maybe just an affectionate pet to cuddle you awake in the morning. Cut a red heart out of construction paper. Burn the candles for about five minutes or so. You want the index card in the middle face up with the red heart on top. Move the candles a little closer together so they are practically on the card, then blow them out. Do this same procedure for two more days, bringing the candles closer, until on the third day the card and the heart touch each other. Let the candles burn out on their own. Sleep with the card and the heart under your pillow for one night. Before going to bed, be sure to tell the Universe and your angel “Thank you!”
If all this is too hocus-pocus for you, you should know that spells are not that necessary either. You could easily achieve the same results if you light a knotty candle in a color that reminds you of love, engrave the word LOVE on it, lie back and visualize what you really want for 10 minutes a night, until the candle burns out. It’s all about what you believe in, really. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
