The Gang
Everything has changed. Everything; and I haven’t even tested the damn spell myself. ...more?
~ Jen (aurellion)
- Round Two
Orderly Chaos
She sighed and looked about her. "This world is so tedious..." mused the child. If only she could go to a different planet, a different time. She would do that - somehow. Yes - she would go back and stir up trouble. She would become an outlaw; she would steal, kill. Oh... what was it like to kill? ...more?
~ Jen (aurellion)
- Round Three
Cave Caught
“Guys! Where are you?”
Holly sat on the rocky surface in the shadowy cave, her chocolate hair sticking to her wet cheeks.
Holly’s rear end ached from the fall and she hugged her knees to her chest.
Her wet chin rested on her knees and tears rolled down her pale cheeks “W-where?”
The watery moan echoed through the hollow space. ...more?
~ Alex (SowiloWitch)
- Round Four
The Morning After
Dawn awoke to the sound of birds chirping and sun glazing in her eyes. Dawn grumbled as she rolled out of bed. She had to admit she wasn’t much of a morning person. Dawn stretched and wondered when she had fallen asleep. She stood there for a few minutes trying remember but she couldn’t....more?

- Round One
Cat Scratch
Cat claws.
Scribing flesh.
Stinging,
Like the blackbirds caw,
That breaks silence of brittle air.
A book that can’t be read.
A vision that can’t be seen.
A song that will be heard.
A cat.
The night sky.
The cat’s eye.
The cat emerges from the alley.
Running through grasping grass.
The cat dawdles across your path,
A negative sign.
Morning departing midday.
Midday retiring from evening.
Time is redundant for the cat.
A black streak,
A black smudge.
A cat.
~ Jen (aurellion)
A Dream
A dream?
What is this I see
Is that blood on the sheets and my sister laying there
Wait, I turn around and look again,
Now what I see is different.
Could this be a dream?
My sister is playing, but...no
That isn't my sister that's me, but who is it that I'm with
I'm growing older and now I stare back at myself
Something's different, something's wrong
That's not me, not the real me, or am I fake
Is this all a dream?
I look around and see an awesome sight
Children are playing and the sun is shineing
Am I seeing what I think I am
Is that Kyle
Is that Devon
Or is this all a dream?
I wake up and look around
I'm in my bed
No blood, no dead sister
I look out side, no other 'me's'
No, there are no children playing,
Kyle and Devon aren't there
I guess it really was a dream, or was it?
~ .R.I.N.
- Round Two
My Nature
I am the hunter, the predator
I am the night
I am the child, the lover
I am the light
I am the urge that drives you
I am the fight
I am what chases the shadow
I am sight
I am all of these things together
I am a child of night
~ Sarah (Lanarah)
Your Demise
Holding on to fears deep within your mind.
Regretting the past years and what you've left behind.
Pain and bitterness fill your heart with hate.
You can go back. No, it's much too late.
Clouds of darkness surround your thoughts.
Suicide and murder. You long to see them rot.
You live your life day-to-day.
Waiting for couples to go their seperate ways.
Your bitterness and hate will be your demise.
Your pain has finally ended. We've said our last good-byes.
~ Maggie (dark_angel_32189)
- Round Three
The Elementals
Heat and warmth is what he does
And to light the lonely dark
In every heart he resides
And to comfort even the lark
To cool and calm is what she does
Flowing slowly by
Falling down upon the Earth
Controlled across the nigh
To grow and provide is what she does
Giving nutrients to the plants
What she does is taken from her
Even by the ants
To blow and change is what he does
To give birds their flight
Giving breath to the living things
Even in the night
~ Tricia (lunaki3)
- Round Four

Solitude
Every night
I sit at home
always feeling
so alone.
Wanting a friend
to take my hand
but they never come
they never can.
So here I sit
in this quiet,
feeling my heart
aching while it
grows more melancholy
with every hour
seeping darkness
comes to devour.
So thus I turn
take Solitudes hand
oh He whispers,
I answer His demand.
Walking together
I stare into His face,
wondering how
we both lost our place.
In this world
so full and proud
and at last
He provides my shroud.
His eyes they gleam
with things I've seen
this was know to come
to His will I succumb.
No one will even know
no feelings will ever show
from my disappearance.
Soon to be free
no longer melancholy
no longer lonely
In Solitudes company.
~ Choir-Angel
- Round Six
Will You Love Me?
I'm here, can you hear me?
I call your name, but you don't seem to be listening.
Is there something I can do
That'll make you hear me?
No matter how loud I cry,
It's like I'm being silent.
Why doesn't anybody
Hear my pain?
I care about you with all of my heart.
I take care of you, but you don't ever seem to care.
Is there something I can o
That'll make you care about me?
No matter how loud I cry,
It's like I'm being silent.
Why doesn't anybody
Hear my pain?
I'm here for you, no matter what you think.
Why can't you ever seem to see that?
Is there something I can do
That'll make you see me?
No matter how loud I cry,
It's like I' being silent.
Why doesn't anybody
Hear my pain?
You were all that I had,
And yet I've come to understand:
No matter what I do
You will never love me, too.
No matter how loud I cry,
It's like I'm being silent.
That's why I've finally given up
On making any noise at all...
~ Sir Wolfgang Jones
- Round Seven

To you I promise finally my friendship
I will be there through all hardships
I will be your real friend

~ mizoryluvsme
- Round Eight
Fortress of Stone
A heart in darkness
Never feeling light
Shrouded and heavy
Locked up so tight
A fortress of stone
Surrounding it still
An inner chamber
With books to fill
Each page a life
Of loved ones past
Each pain and joy
Is plainly cast
These memories held
Forever in stone
Never forgetting
The lives I have known
~ too2sweet
- Round Nine
Untitled
I'm starting to remember
My own name
Feels like a game
I constantly lose
To you
We're not through
I know you well
Enough to tell
That you're in hell
When I yell
I can't say how I feel
It's not real
My paranoia starts to peel
And once more
I'm outside
I glide
On promises long forgotten.
I feel like a kitten
Who's lost it's fur
Yet I'm still smitten
I start to threaten
To end it all
To take a knife
And to lawfully
Make it my wife
I strive
Too cold to dive
Alive
Into the bitter sea
Surrounding me
Just let it be
And you will see
Me
Outside looking in
I sing
Of ancient times
Where I'm not insane.
Again,
I lost my train
Of thought
I ought
To stop writing all this
I'm pissed
Off with life
And all it holds dear
I'm near
To seeing all-clear
But here
I go again
Spouting s**t
That's not it-
My minds having a fit
Of emotion
To which the only lotion
That can soothe
Has oozed
All over my bag
I take a f**
And light it up
I whistle in my head
For bed
Without another
Sleepless night
I fight
With all might
For sight
Of what's going on.
You're wrong
I take a long
Time
To stop rhyme
Tonight
It's not right
I can't stop
The words belly flop
On the page
With no reason to think
I sink
In ink-
Black thoughts
I've sought a pen
To write a page
(Or ten)
Of words
That I don't listen to
So I can tell you
What I need to do
Tonight.
Icontinue to write
My head bites
Inside
Not a fun ride
Like a ghost-train derailed
My head is plain-sailed
No-one's noticed my tempestuous
Mess
That fell on the page
Due to rage
I don't know why
That's just how
I function.
I'm junctioned
To the motorway
Of thought
I'm a field to the right
Set at night
Hold me tight-
We'll take flights
Of fantasy
Into the land of no return
My scars yearn
To burn
And cry over me.
That'd be a first.
I thirst
For love
That I can hold
I've been told
I can't
But I can
I know
You show
That you know
Where to go
And what to say
I love you coz you're just that way.
~ kajido
- Round Ten
Goddess
She danced in the moonlight,
Her voice like windsong,
She walked through the faelights,
Of the forests now long gone.
She played with wolves,
She laughed with darkness,
Ancient as days,
Is the magick that she’s harnessed.
Spirits of the otherworld,
Run beside her through the night,
The night’s sky laves her bronzed skin,
While his wind holds her hand tight.
Undines comb her hair,
Silver tresses the wind sires,
Salamanders kiss her lips,
And sears them with their fires.
Unearthly eyes gold,
Like the spirit of her heartlight,
Goddess of the day,
She’s the lover of the night.
Lady of the treelife,
Of the fauna, and of men,
The moon goddess shelight,
Of the faeries in the wind.
Goddess spirit of earth,
Of the universe, and all within.
~ Tonya Kellman (Lore Earthe)

Happiness Spell
My days have been so cold and lonely,
A smile never crossing my face.
So from the Goddess above I ask,
For happiness and grace.
And for the god-
Let him see,
What you mend.
So mote it be!
~ Alex (SowiloWitch)
- Round Two: protection theme
Well, it is not really a spell but you could use it in one. When we were little and going to school my mom would give us blueberries in any form. They protect you when you leave the house to make sure you come home safe: and it has always worked for us. I even fed my Ezzie (she is six) blueberry oatmeal before school, and nothing has happened to her - even when she had to walk home by herself when her daddy forgot to pick her up. If I am right the Celtics came up with it but I could be wrong. heart
~ Kari (Bayleigh of the Dark Moon)
- Round Three: dream magick
Find your soulmate/twin flame/true love spell
Note: You MUST be a lucid dreamer at the very LEAST for this spell to work as it is intended to because you WILL need the sense of touch in the dream. (Think of it this way, its just a goal for you to obtain razz )
OK this is my favorite spell because I have used it and I KNOW it worked.
(The spell is very prophetic and you may be baffeled for a while. You may even hear a name that is NOT the person who is your true love. That is why touch is needed and not sight and hearing)
What you will need:Your astral altar
Circle casted
A purified room (best done by either smudging or through incence)
A garnet
The aforementioned abilities First purify your room and put the garnet either in your pillowcase or in a chest pocket (if you wear a shirt to bed that has one). The Garnet holds the magick of true love in it so it is a perfect mineral to channel your hearts energy. Next lay down and begin making your alter and casting your circle. After you have casted your circle in the astral plane you should be either a) close to sleeping with a lucid dream to continue casting or b) already lucid casting. The chant I use goes like this:
"Spirits I call to thee,
My true love tonight to see.
The message conveyed is up to you,
A dream to share makes this true*"
Say that chant as soon as you are finished casting your circle and sleep the rest of the night. Make sure to record the dream down in your dream journal or book of shadows so that you won't forget it. My dream told me that my friend Claire had a crush on me but then someone else later was kissing my neck (yes I COULD feel the kisses). However, I know my that Claire doesn't like me in that way at all so I knew it wasn't her. I figured out who it was only because the girl I shared the dream with talked about brought her version of the dream up where she was kissing some guys neck that she thought she didn't know.
* This last line I use because I know how to dream jump and share dreams with other people. Change this line to something else if you are uncomfortable with the idea of dream jumping.
~ Jace (Fallen Angel Kato Kitoma)
- Round Four: open theme
Home protection spell
Say this before you go to sleep, or at sundown."Earth, hold foundations strong,
Air move energies along,
Fire, pass my home this night,
Water, protect until morn's light,
Guardians of the towers four,
Protect this home forever more,
As is above, so is below,
As such the God and Goddess know,
By the power of three times three,
As I will it, so mote it be."
~ Jess (JVCA) - Round 5: open theme
Spell For Healing Of Past Pains
Gather 3 black candles and place them in a triangular pattern around yourself.
Sit in the middle of them and have them all lit.
Burn 3 sticks of Dragon's Blood incense and place them beside the three candles.
Take a piece of paper and write everything that has happened in the past down and fold it up.
Get a white candle and light it, then light the folded piece of paper.
Say out loud: "Goddess I pray, take this pain away. Into the light, away from the dark.
God I pray, bury this pain. Cradle it in the eternal dark.
From the sun, to the moon. From the earth, to the stars.
From the fires, to the waters. Into the carefree wind.
Bring me into the light, away from the dark. Make me pure, make me free.
By the grace of the heavens. So mote it be. " Channel all negative energy that is left into the three black candles and let the positive energy from the white candle fill you up. Have the black candles burn all the way out and bury them at three points on your property in a triangle pattern.
Gather the ashes and set them in the middle of the triangle.
~ Choir-Angel - Round 6: open theme
Rose Beauty Spray
(This makes a perfume type of thing. But I don't advise making it in large quantities, it could go rancid. xp )
Used for:
Making you feel better about yourself, improve confidence, inner beauty is brought out.
Ingredients:
1 white or pink candle
1 spray/perfume bottle
Sweet smelling incense
Rose petals
Best done on a Friday, during the waxing moon.
Directions:
Light the sweet smelling incense and candle. Relax for a bit and feel the energy within you. Know that there's beauty in everyone. Ask your Gods (whoever they may be, ruler of beauty, etc.) for their help/aid/blessing.
Consecrate the perfume bottle with the elements (so all lingering negativity is banished). After this is done, charge the rose petals saying something along the lines of:
Roses divine
give beauty sublime
outside and inside
may this harm none
so mote it be
After the roses are fully charged, add them to the previously consecrated perfume bottle. Now add clean cold water (not to much of course).
Allow to sit for 3 moons. Once infused, spritz yourself with the perfume and feel your confidence grow.
