"Mabon" by Laura Pelick
 

Hi everyone, this is Heather from Everything Under the Moon.

My husband and I went to the NOPI National Car Show in Atlanta this past weekend and guess who I met? Hulk Hogan and his family! Hulk's wife Linda even agreed to take a picture with me! :) That was really cool. If you want to see the pictures of Hulk, Linda (and me!), and their son Nick at the car show, you can visit my NOPI Car Show link. It has nothing to do with witchcraft and spells, but I think it's cool. My husband Ron got to have his picture made with lots of hot car models, so all of you guys out there should check that out. If you want to see the actual car pictures (and more models), check out Ron's NOPI page on his site, which is much larger than mine (over 300 pictures on 20 pages!)

On to the spells... I'm going to post two spells this time because it's been a couple of weeks since I've sent out the newsletter. The first spell is a nice little wish spell I found that I like. The second one is a knot spell for banishing problems that sounds like it should be quite effective if you do the visualization well and put your energy into it like it says to. I could really use that spell to get rid of the mean feelings I'm having towards my neighbor, who is a total bitch. Maybe I could just get rid of HER instead of getting rid of my feelings for her. It wouldn't be the first time I banished an awful neighbor (or the second time, for that matter!) lol.

The Wishing Well

Take any large bowl. Drip a few drops of different colored candle wax in the bottom of the bowl, then adhere a white candle to that spot. The different colors represent diverse needs and goals, while the white binds this variety together in harmony. Each morning, light the candle when you get up and put a coin in the bowl. Make your wish for the day. Blow out the candle before you leave the house. Whenever you desperately need to have a wish fulfilled, remove a coin from the bowl and either plant it in rich soil (houseplants will do) or throw it into moving water so that your message of need will be carried through the earth. When the bowl is filled with coins, use all but a few (these "seeds" always remain in your bowl) for random acts of kindness, like getting treats for the neighborhood kids or helping a homeless person. Your generosity will return to you threefold to keep the magic of benevolence, both mundane and divine, with you always.

Destructive Knot Spell

If there is a situation, problem, or possible menace you are facing, here is a knot spell to help.
Take a cord and firmly visualize the problem in all its agonizing detail.
Become emotional about it; seethe with anger, crumble into tears, whatever works.
Then firmly tie the knot. Walk away from it, out of the room if possible.
Take a shower, eat, do whatever will get your mind off the spell and allow you to relax.
When your emotions are stabilized return to the knot. With calm and peace untie the knot.
See the problem vanishing; dissolving into a dust that is swept away by the cleansing, refreshing North wind.
It is done.

Tomorrow is the first day of fall, known to pagans as the Autumn Equinox or "Mabon". I hope everyone enjoys it and I'm sure many of you will decide to do something special to honor the God/Goddess and the Earth on this day. Here are some facts about this holiday and some ideas of things you can do to commemorate it. I found these online and you will find much more if you look up "Mabon" in Google.

• It is the second harvest, and the Goddess mourns her fallen consort, but the emphasis is on the message of rebirth that can be found in the harvest seeds.

• Decorate the house with dried and colored ears of corn to remind yourself and your home of the end of the harvest season.

• Again, the day and night are of equal length, and we give thanks for the last fruits of the harvest.

• Often referred to as the "witches thanksgiving".

• Mabon is also the Welsh God of Fertility.

• Mabon marks the end of the second harvest, a time when the majority of crops are gathered.

• The Goddess enters the "Crone" stage at this time.

• At the Autumn Equinox, the days and nights are equal. It is a time of balance, but light gives way to increased darkness.

• It is a good time to walk the forests, gathering dried plants for use as altar decorations or herbal magick.

• Cornbread and cider are good additions to festivities and fall leaves make good altar decorations.

All of the stuff below was in the last newsletter, but I'm posting it again since so many new people have signed up since then.

I have added lots of new spells to the website in the past week. You may not be aware, but when you are on the Book of Shadows page on the site, you can click any of the headings to go to a page that lists the spells under that heading. The headings don't look like links, so you probably never tried to click them. There are also two main spells pages, which I have linked to below, plus a Love Spells page that lists all the love spells.

Click the links below to visit any of these pages:

Book of Shadows - Book of Shadows Page 2 - Love Spells

Weather Spells - I added spells for rain, storms, sunny weather, and a snow day spell.

Sleep Spells and Dream Magick - Stop nightmares, dream of the future, help you sleep, dream of a deceased loved one.

Spirits, Ghosts, and Spirit Guides - Spells to get rid of unwanted spirits, contact your spirits guide, and conjure spirits.

Thoughtforms and Spirits - Great article that explains what thoughtforms are and how to use them.

Car and Travel Spells - Anti-accident spells, protection from thieves, car protection, find a parking space, more.

Self-improvement Spells - Stop smoking (and other habits), banish personal negativity, and self-improvement spells.

School Spells - New spells include revenge against cheaters (on games, tests, etc.), stopping gossip, and getting good grades.

Uncrossing Spells - Breaking spells that you have cast, or that someone has cast on you.

Money Spells - Several new money spells have been added.

These are just a few of the new spells I have added recently. There are hundreds more on the site in many other categories that aren't listed here, so come visit when you get a chance and collect some spells for your personal Book of Shadows. I also added a new Disclaimer to the Book of Shadows page to explain a bit about the spells and why I don't generally answer specific questions about the them. Please read that before you write to me to ask me about the spells.

Enjoy the holiday!

Blessings,
Starwitch Stone
