Cold Moon Magic

This is a good time to work on magic related to protection, both physical and spiritual. Use this time to develop your inner self, and advance spiritually, becoming closer to the higher aspects of your deities. Take the time in your busy schedule to meditate and think about what it is you really want out of life, and whether you’re showing people your true self.

January is also a great time to work on full moon magic – after all, the nights are long and dark, and in some areas the moon itself is the only source of light. Put aside your lethargy, and focus some energy on developing your intuition and wisdom.

Finally, for many people, winter is a season of simplification. Set aside everything you don’t need, and try a minimalist approach instead. On a mundane level, try doing a thorough cleaning of your physical space – get rid of the clutter. On a spiritual and emotional level, try to do the same thing – teach your mind to let go of the things that are creating excess baggage for your spirit and soul.

Witches Bells

Thread the bells onto the twine, knotting securely. Do the same for any of the other objects you wish to add. You can buy pre-made witches bells, but it is always highly recommended to make your own. Chant the following spell three times.

“Guard my home,

 Bells on the Door, 

Let only blessings walk on this Floor, 

Block all evil and the Dark Arts,

 May only Good approach our hearts. “

“Guard our home, 

bell on the door

Let evil spirits come no more

Evil spells shall not be cast,

And good fortune shall everlast

Apples

The seeds of an apple form a five pointed star so, with the remainder of the apple surrounding it, apples hold a pentagram in their core. Slice an apple in half and bury one half of the apple in front of your home to ward of negativity and to attract prosperity.

Earth Grounding

On this earth is where I stand

Digging my roots deep in the land

Fill me with the Energy so Bright

And fill me with your strength of might

(Repeat 3 times)

(Feel your energy go down into the ground and bring back up the earth’s energy)
