We at the Temple of Witchcraft have been looking for ways to do outreach so our distant members can feel connected to the greater work of the Temple. The Pisces ministry presents a full moon circle here at the Temple’s home in Salem, New Hampshire, every month. This year our focus for those moon circles is spell work. We were inspired to produce some spells that will be used at the Temple full moons and make them available to all our initiates and friends to join us. Each of spell has the intention of creating a better world for us all. You may feel free to join us as is appropriate for your own circumstances. You might join us for all of them or just a few. We hope you will take us up on the opportunity to join in on the Great Work.
Since we are doing spells, each one may require you to get supplies ready to cast the spell with us. All the supplies for the next month are listed in the postscript of the month before to give you time to acquire any necessary supplies. We have attempted to make them as simple, but still effective, as possible to make these available to the most people.
We will also be working with the thirteen goals of the witch in person and also in our journals throughout the lunar month. We will provide some journal prompts for you if you want to join in.
Leo Full Moon
Goal of the witch: Celebrate life
- What are you thankful for in your life right now?
- How do you celebrate the life you have been given?
- Imagine the people you have lost in your life. What lessons have they taught you? How do you celebrate their lives?
- Think about how you have a finite amount of time on this Earth. What would you like to accomplish and how can you bring joy and celebration to every step?
- List some of the people you love in your life. How can you show them how much you celebrate them?
Inspiring Solutions to World Problems Candle Spell
Gather a white candle, an anointing oil for solutions such as van van, crown of success, or any oil aligned with solutions or inspiration. If you don’t have any fancy oils, bless some olive oil calling on the goddess of wisdom, Athena, for inspiration. Create your sacred space and call on your own goddess or god of wisdom, solutions, or inspiration.
Anoint the candle while visualizing people being inspired to solve world problems. Charge the candle to bring about inspired solutions for the world’s problems. Light the candle and say this charm three times. With the end of the third recitation send it out as a cone of power.
Lady of the healing light
Fill us with your grace
Inspire solutions to every plight
To save the world and human race
Epiphanies to make things right
Inventions and better ways
put solutions in our sight
So we can save the day
For good of all and harming none
So we say this spell is done!
To ground this spell into being, look for inspirations to good works or better ways to be and to implement them.
Blessed be,
Adam Sartwell
Virgo lead minister
