Light a yellow candle for mental clarity, and anoint with calming and uplifting bergamot oil. Place a yellow rose in a vase to the left of the candle. To the right, place a bowl containing at least two citrine or quartz crystals.
Saffron water is made by boiling a single teaspoon of saffron from your cupboard in two quarts of distilled water. Let cool to room temperature and pour into the bowl of crystals. Put your hands together as in prayer, and dip your hands in the bowl. Touch your “third eye” in the center of your forehead, anointing yourself with the saffron water. Now, speak aloud:
Goddess great, fill me with your presence.
This night, I am whole and at peace.
Breathing in, breathing out, I feel your safe embrace.
And so it is.
Sandalwood Spell for Grounding
Sandalwood, from the Sanskrit word chandana, has been used for thousands of years in India. The woody, sweet smell clears your mind and reconnects you to the earth. This simple spell can actually be used every day as prayer, or to prepare for meditation. Light a stick of sandalwood incense and “smudge” the area with the soothing smoke.
Anoint a brown candle with sandalwood oil. In scentless base oil, such as canola, olive or sesame, add:
- Six drops sandalwood oil
- Two drops lemon oil
- Two drops amber oil
Warm this concoction in a clay oil lamp or carefully heat it on the stove. When it is warm to the touch, dip your left ring finger into the oil and anoint your “third eye,” located in the center of your forehead, just above the eyes.
Sitting in the cross-legged lotus position, whisper three times:
Come to me clarity, come to me peace,
Come to me wisdom. Come to me bliss.
I sit in stillness, I sit in peace.
As above, so below; and so it is.
Meditate for twenty minutes, and then massage the warmed oil into your feet. You will be utterly and blissfully grounded now.
