A Finding Spell
Light a green candle for luck and prosperity
Charge a small green stone with your desire to find your "property" that eludes you
Chant the following 3 times:
I Pray to the Moon when she is round
Luck to me shall then abound
What I seek for shall then be found
In sea or sky or solid ground
Remember, like energies attract, think of positive times spent with this lost treasure and mentally/emotionally call the “lost one” home.

A Scrying Spell
Light a candle and on Samhain look at your reflection in a dark window. Close your eyes, ask you question about love or marriage and open you eyes and look quickly over your shoulder. There, his/her refection will appear over your left shoulder.

A Scrying Spell
Take a bowl of water. The bowl should be metal or very dark glass. During a full or new moon, light a white or black candle in your sacred space, close your eyes and relax. Ask your question and when you open your eyes look into the water. Relax and let images or words come into your mind. Try to screen out the talk that usually happens in everyone's mind and just listen to what is trying to be said to you.

A Scrying Spell
Meditate. As you meditate, see yourself on a grassy plain with a forest near you. Go into the forest and listen to the whispering of the wind who will answer your question.

To Find Someone
To reach an old friend or loved one that is far away, write them a letter, address it, and burn it over a raging fire. You will receive an answer.
-Jessica James

Discover the Truth
Purpose:
To discover the truth about a friend or loved one, to know if someone is lying to you, to find out if what you know about someone or something is true. Be careful ... sometimes we only think we want to know the truth. Make sure you are prepared to cope with the consequences of learning the truth.
Materials:
Divination Incense - Rose or Honeysuckle
Blue Candle - For Truth
Purple Candle - For Divination
Personal Candle - Your color
Preparation:
Place the purple candle on the left side of the altar, your personal candle in the middle, and the blue candle on the right.
Casting:
Light the incense. Concentrate on the truth you are seeking as you pass each candle through the incense smoke.
Light the Purple Candle and say ...

May the goddess enlighten me

Light the Blue Candle and say ...

May I find the truth I seek

Light your personal candle and say ...

May my mind be open to all that is true, no matter how painful it might be

Now sit quietly for half an hour. Try to quiet the chatter that happens in everyone’s mind so that you can hear the truth when it comes. When you have been enlightened, extinguish the candles and thank the Goddess for her enlightenment.

Full Moon Divination Spell
Purpose: To find an answer to a question. To divine the future.
Materials: A full moon.
Casting: During a full moon, make a circle using the thumb and index finger of the hand you use for casting a circle. Center the full moon within the circle.
Chant:

Good moon, Round moon
Full moon near:
Let the Future
Now Appear

Concentrate on the moon and ask a question. The answer will come.

Spell to Learn the Truth
Think hard on the subject about which you wish to learn the truth.

Light petitioners candle - a candle representing yourself. (Can be any color you feel represents yourself.) and say,

This candle I light to represent myself. It burns as does the spirit. It is as myself in all things.

Light 2 white candles and say, " These are the symbols for truth. They are enjoined about (your name) and to me show all truth. Then say:

As I rove in the night 'cross the brown heath bare,
In the bright moons light saw a castle fair;
Lords and ladies, great and small,
Where crowding in, 'twas a festival,
Grasses in the wind are waving.
They bade me welcome and I went
To drink their wine to my heart's content.
I danced and laughed with the ladies fair.
Ne'er in my life had I such cheer;
Grasses in the wind are waving.
Then all at once there came a cry:
Haro by yaro! Asleep fell I,
While a lady dancing at my side
Seemed like a lizard away to glide;
Grasses in the wind are waving.
I woke in the early light of day,
In an olden ruin I did lay,
O'er the rock and into the sun
I saw a green-gold lizard run!
Grasses in the wind are waving.
Now the truth I know and it stays with me,
For I have seen what I did see,
All secret knowledge came to mind,
Borne on laughter of the other kind;
Grasses in the wind are waving.

Sit then in quiet contemplation for half an hour. In this time will the truth of the subject in question come to you.
-Raymond Buckland

Cleansing Ritual
Overview

This ritual is a self cleansing ritual. It was designed to cleans the body, mind & spirit of residual negativity after being involved in magickal battles (specifically, exorcism).

Components & Tools
A tub to draw a bath.
A white candle
Essential Oil of Myrrh
Essential Oil of Frankincense
Sea Salt (fine, bath salts)

Preparations

Place the white candle so that it's light can shine upon you when you are in the tub.
Mix 9 drops Myrrh and 3 drops Frankincense into 1/8 cup sea salt. Be certain that you will not be disturbed for at least 20 minutes, preferably an hour. Shut off the phone ringers, etc.

Ritual

Invoke your sacred space. (using what means is appropriate for your practice)

Light the candle. Recite the following:

Spirits of Fire do I call upon thee.
Send thy divine fire and burn through the darkness.
Shed thy light upon me and clear the shadows of my soul.

Draw a bath of hot water. (the warmest you can comfortably get into) Recite the following:

Oh spirits of water do I call upon thee.
Enter this sacred space and lend me thy cleansing powers.
From the waters we come and to water we return.

As the tub fills (about half way), sprinkle the salt into the waters. Recite the following:

Oh spirits of earth do I call upon thee.
Ground and disperse all that is not of light.
Mix with me and cleans me of the weight of darkness.

Once fill, settle into the tub. Relax and feel the light and warmth. Breath in the vapors of the oils and recite the following:

Oh spirits of ear do I call upon thee.
Thou art my breath and my life.
Let me breath in thy light and release the smoke of darkness.

Breath and feel the energy about and within you. Feel the light of fire burning away that which clings to you. Let the water's warmth wash through you, and lift away the darkness. Feel the salt cling to the darkness and ground it for you. Feel your lungs fill with light and carry out the fog of darkness as you exhale.

Remain in the bath till you feel that all the darkness that will release has left you.

Stand, or kneel, and pull the plug from the tub. As the water drains, recite the following:

As we come from the waters so shall we return.
Oh earth and water, take from here the darkness.
Disperse it and ground it.
Let it weigh upon me no more.

Dry off.
Put out the candle.
Thank the divine and the spirits & open your sacred space .
-Shayde

Spell of the Comb and Mirror
Purify area, cast circle, etc. Burn a white candle for yourself, and say:

O Lady of shimmering beauty,
For whom the stars are shining jewels
And the Universe Her creation and plaything,
Weaver of destinies and Protectress of things wild and free
Make me now, I do ask, to be thy daughter
Make me one with thee and grant me thy far-flung power
Grant to this, thy Witch and Sorceress
Strength within and without.
As eternal as the boundless sea,
The calm assurance of my powers
To make any do my bidding,
And the winds, waters, and fires,
The hills themselves lend willingly themselves to me.
Give to me, who am of thy ancient Craft
The wisdom of ages, the lore of eons,
Knowledge of light, knowledge of dark.
Grant me beauty ever more perfect
That I may reflect thee better.
Build magick within me, build power within me.
Power be drawn and power come.
And make me one with thee.
Make me greater, make me better
Grant me strength and grant me power.
O Goddess who is my friend and mother,
I give you love and thanks
O Beautiful One, may the magick I have summoned
Return the stronger when I have need of it
May wisdom, strength, comeliness and compassion
Remain with me, growing ever finer.
So mote it be!

Bread is offered to the household guardians as a libation, and the salt is kept in the heart of the home to ground any evil that might enter.

Smoke of air and fire and earth
Cleanse and bless this home and hearth
Drive away all harm and fear
Only good may dwell in here
