To Conjure Spirits
Waxing Moon or Full Moon: Waning or New Moon
Two tall purple candles Two tall green candles
A purple Amethyst Green Jade or Agate - in center of altar
Sandalwood & Lavender Incense Sandalwood & Willow Bark Incense
Spirit Candle
Witches' Bowl - a bowl or tray 13" or more in diameter, marked for divination.  
Three casting stones 

Cast a triple circle. Conjuring of Spirits is always done in hours of darkness, not necessary to be midnight, but preferred.

After you have performed your primary ritual, cast the incense into your burner, Place the Spirit Candle into the center of the altar and say:

Spirit of good will, I bid thee enter
The Outer Circle.
The Second Circle.
The Inner Circle.

I am protected by this Pentacle upon my breast.
Which bears the name of (your Spirit Guide)
I bid thee, Spirit, Reveal thy Earthly name!

(turn slowly deosil as you speak)

Repeat this conjuration three times.
Perform a nine card Tarot Divination for the Spirit's name, unless the Spirit replies in some other manner.

Ask: Have you a message for me?

Perform a Tarot Divination or use the Witches' Bowl to ask questions.

Spirit, is it true that....?

Deal gently with the friendly Spirits and they will lead you to the Greater Mysteries.

During your questioning, observe the Spirit Candle. If it wavers or rises and falls, or flickers unevenly, use the Tarot to see if the Spirit has a message.

You may ask 3 questions, after that you must ask:

May I seek further guidance?

Ask only 3 more questions.

Bid the Spirit depart, saying:

(Name), Good Spirit,
Thou hast diligently answered my questions and I do thank thee. I
hereby give thee license to depart. Depart, thrice - blessed Spirit, and be
thou willing to return when next I conjure thee. By the sound of this bell
(Use your Witch's Bell), do I bid thee leave. Depart, Depart. Depart!

Spell to Call Up a Hearth Spirit
For your dwilling place to be a true home, a household spirit needs to live within its walls. So that a good brownie may be induced to take up residence, take puss on one side, and utter this magic charm over her head three times:

Little one, without a name
Come inside and make much game
I send my cat upon this errand
To hunt you out till you be found
And may you of good heart be
And truly charming company.

Then let puss run off, and when she comes home again you must watch her closely; you will see her skit and play, patting a little at the air, and growing kittenish as though a child played with her. So by little signs and signals you will come to recognize that a brownie has entered your house; and you may be confident that he will soon make himself known to you. Never frighten or abuse him, but thank him for the tasks he performs, and always praise his handiwork.

Halt a Storm
Moon Phase: any
Prep: ground and center ( emergency use only!)
Tools: sword or wand, silver or dark blue glitter
Corresponding Color: silver or deep blue
Corresponding Herb(s): broom or frankincense
Corresponding Elements: water and air
Corresponding Crystal: hematite
Reason: when a major storm is approaching

Procedure:
Take some frankincense and a hematite stone, place them on a pentacle you've drawn on the ground (with your sword or wand). Place the tool of your choice in the middle of the pentacle and while holding the stone in your hand say:
Morrigan goddess of the storm I ask for your help in every form, turn it back into the sea, absorb it into the rock into the tree, send this storm far from me. And if my Goddess dose agree than manifest please make it be!
Than take the silver or deep blue glitter and sprinkle it around the perimeter of the pentacle and let some fall off of your hand into the wind. Leave the stone as an offering to the elements and the Goddess. Please Note : that if the storm does not come to your back yard it will go to someone else's, try not to deplete your land of anything it needs just for the sake of seeing if you can do it. The Goddess is ever watching...our beautiful mother, blessed be
