Welcome to Gaia! ::

A small house blessing:

Prepare your home and yourself for the onset of spring by first cleaning house the conventional way. As you do, meditate on the mental detritus you need to clean out as well. Then, when you’re ready, take up your ritual broom, start at the front door and sweep all around the house, visualizing all unwanted things being swept away by your magical broom. When you return to the front door, open it wide and sweep this stuff away. Now light a white candle and carry it around your home. Visualize a light of peace and newness spreading around you and your home. Make a circle of light before each window and door, asking the blessings of the Goddess and the God on your home and all who dwell within it.

Protection Spell:

Charge a small stone of Saturn correspondence to carry with you as a charm of protection-black tourmaline, Apache tears, or snowflake obsidian. Or find any dark colored stone in the earth that feels solid, stable, and strong to you. Find a quiet outdoor place and sprinkle a circle of salt on the ground, large enough for you to sit inside, and hold your chosen stone. Close your eyes; ground and center, drawing Earth energy within you. Visualize rings of energy swirling around the Saturn stone you hold, building and increasing to surround and emanate from you. Within the rings you are strong, solid, secure, and shielded from harm. In the future, whenever you feel the need for extra protection, hold your stone to assist you.

A small water purification spell:

The incantation below is a purification spell that you can use as part of a larger working, or alone when swimming, walking in the rain, boating, and so on. It can also be used in preparing for the birth of a baby, or during the birthing process. If necessary, use the incantation as a drought-buster. Begin by saying: "Water protects the embryo, ancestor love of long ago. Tides and rivers dance and flow, enchant this place, let magic grow. Revive! Bring change! I make it so." For added water energy in magic, carve the zodiac symbols of Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio on the candle color of your choice, and stand the candle in one half inch of water as it burns.
