Goal Dedication Spell
Supplies:
Herbs;
- Powdered Yarrow Leaves (Achillea millefolium)
- Powdered and Dried Dandelion Leaves (Taraxacum officinale)
- Any other plant that you consider your favorite or near to your heart
- Smudge (optional, and the type of smudge you prefer)
Tools;
- At least one candle (a color you feel is fitting to your goal )
- Red Jasper Stone
- Heat Proof Dish
- Some sheets of virgin paper
- A sharp stick pin
Description:
This ritual is to give a person strength in meeting a goal. This ritual does involve the use of blood. This is due to the nature of blood and its properties that make it so useful. A person’s blood is unique to them, it holds with it unique energies that can be used to mark and infuse things with the essence of the person. For that reason, blood is used in this ritual.
Find a quiet, private space. Start by centering yourself, and lighting the candle. This ritual replies on the use of sympathetic magick. Sympathetic magick refers to the primal manipulation of energy by a user, rather than by a tool. Gather some energy up in the palms of your hands. Trickle this energy through the red jasper stone. The energy will change and be refined into a manner better suited for our needs. Pull this adjusted stream of energy out of the stone, and pull it inside of you. Hold it inside of you, keep it just under the surface.
Now grab a pen or pencil and write your goal on the paper. As you write, focus on the idea behind your goal. Why you want it… how badly you want this. After you write your goal, underneath write a sentence asking if you accept that challenge of meeting this goal. Something like;
“Are you ready to change? Do you accept the challenge of [your goal ].”
Put down your pen or pencil, and pick up the stick pin. Prick a finger (your choice which one) about a dozen times. Not very deeply, though you will feel it. The goal here is to prick your finger in a small area, so that when you squeeze your finger you can form a drop of blood. You want to squeeze your finger, and write your answer to the challenge. On the piece of paper say yes or no by writing it in your own blood. It won’t look super neat and tidy.
Take the herbs (one large pinch of the powdered and about three dried dandelion leaves) and place them in the center of the paper. Yarrow and Dandelion were chosen because of their properties. Endurance, determination and strength are three primary properties these two herbs provide. Now, that energy you were holding, that you’ve probably forgotten about is needed. Find that energy within you, and let it flow out, and into the dried herbs. This energy is now infused with the pain and dedication shown by you drawing your own blood. This energy holds a strong and personal power, unique to you. Now, fold the paper so that it traps the herbs inside it. You want a small relatively square piece of paper that has the herbs inside.
Lite the folded paper on fire at one corner. Place the burning paper, with the burning corner down, at an angle leaning against the side of a heat proof container.
Please be smart here, you know that even heat proof containers get hot on the bottom and sides, do not put them on flammable surfaces or anything that will be damaged by the heat.
Your goal is to have the entire bundle, including herbs burn up to a nice ash. You want to collect the ashes. However be sure to check that all the embers are out. I would even suggest leaving the ashes for a while, to make sure they are cooled.
One a new piece of paper you need to draw a rune on it. The rune is a Futhark rune, called Algiz.
Take the ashes, and pour them into the center of this second piece of paper. Fold it as you did the first, being sure not to spill the contents. Put this bundle in your wallet or purse, and carry it with you. Your objective is to find a place where you can bury this bundle. You may also wish to bury the bundle with a few coins, a couple quarters as an offering.
The hope is that this buried bundle will actively work, helping you accomplish your goal. At the same time the rune will help protect if from people and other influences that would meddle in the magick.
