Divide your deck into 5 sections: Major Arcana, Air / Swords suit, Fire / Wands suit, Water / Cups suit, Earth / Pentacles suit.

Have an open-ended question in mind as you shuffle each pile, like:

What do I need to know right now? Or What do I need to know about (a certain situation in my life)?

1. Choose a card from the Air / Swords pile.

What is the wisdom of the East in this situation (in communication, thought, information, intention, meditation)?  

2. Choose a card from the Fire / Wands pile.

What is the wisdom of the South in this situation (in passion, creativity, energy, sexuality, personal power)?

3. Choose a card from the Water / Cups pile.

What is the wisdom of the West in this situation (in emotions, intuition, dreams, sensuality, compassion)?

4. Choose a card from the Earth / Pentacles pile.

What is the wisdom of the North in this situation (in stability, security, health, finances, manifestation)?

5. Choose a card from the Major Arcana pile.

What is the wisdom of the Center in this situation (in my connection to Spirit)?

You can either choose cards randomly, or with intention. Try it both ways!

If you don’t have a candle with the colour you need you can use a white candle + a candle holder with a shade that match your intent! It’s also inexpensive becouse you can DIY painting some glasses or empty jars.

Create a sachet charm to keep in your car and protect you during your travels.

Car accidents are one of the lead causes of deaths in the U.S. Everyone is likely to get into at least a few accidents over the course of their lives. Even the best driver’s can’t control the actions of everyone else on the road. Obviously, this spell won’t make up for good old defensive driving. But it should help protect you from those factors that are beyond your control.

You’ll need:

• Incense: Sandalwood,  Frankincense, or Dragon’s blood
• A small sachet/bag, preferably a thin cotton
• Ingredients for the sachet*

*There are so many plants, flowers, and herbs that are associated with protection, so you can really customize this to whatever you want. But, because this charm will be kept in a small, enclosed space, we want to be mindful of the smell. Garlic and valerian have great protective properties, but will make your car smell unpleasant (to say the least). So, here are some of my suggestions:

• Ideal ingredients: Mint, leaves from an Ash tree, and Wormwood. These all have specific associations with safe travel
• Flowers: Carnation, chrysanthemum, lavender, lilac, peony
• Trees (use twig or leaves): Birch, cedar, dogwood, elder, oak, willow
• Other herbs/plants: Aloe, bay leaves, branches from blueberry or raspberry bush, caraway seeds (extra helpful to protect against theft), three-leaf clover, holly and mistletoe (especially around the holidays)
• Spices: Pepper, salt (or black salt), a stick of cinnamon, rosemary.

This should give you enough options. My sachet contained mint, ash leaves, black salt, rosemary, caraway seeds, and lavender.

Ideally, you could perform this spell in your car, if you have the privacy to do so. I drove to a secluded place down by my local river. Use the incense to do a smoke cleanse of your car and stay focused on the image of protection. Make sure you have your doors/windows open so that the negative vibes have a way to escape (and your car won’t smell too strongly of smoke.) If you like, you can use some phrases to keep you focused: protect the driver, any passengers, help the car run well, etc. If there are any safety features with your car, such as airbags, make sure you focus some energy there too. Don’t forget the steering wheel, tires and under the hood, though avoid directing the smoke to the engine parts, a simple wave overhead should suffice.

Combine the ingredients in your sachet. Stay focused on the intent of each ingredient. If you still have some incense, wave the sachet through the smoke. Keep the charm in your car, preferably some place open, like your cup holder or dash. You could put it in your glove compartment, though it will be closed off from the rest of your car, so the “flow” might be stifled. Also, it is technically illegal to hang things from your mirror, so I can’t advise it.

Safe travels!

Love that feeling of walking in high heels?  The click that makes you feel like such a badass?  Well, I decided to make a spell to work with that.  You don’t have to have high heels though, pick a pair of shoes that make you feel like a badass should work just as well!

Things you will need:

badass shoes

storm water 

your energy

This is relatively straight forward.  Depending on your preference you could even skip the storm water and use other things.  But find the pair of shoes that make you feel like a badass.  I anoint my heels with storm water (and occasionally I use a drop of my Dragon Oil on the bottom of each heel.  Next channel your energy into the heels.  Use whatever visualization gives you strength.  For me I picture fire and lightning and with each step, I focus on the visualization of fire and electricity rings appearing with each step, shooting outwards to encompass an arms-length radius.

Now here’s the tricky part: Don’t wear these all the time.

You need to charge it up with energy or it’s going to run out.  Kind of like making deposits in the bank with money.  If you just keep withdrawing without putting anything in then it’s not going to work, you’ll run out, yes?  So keep that in mind and take some breaks and charge it up little by little at a time.

When you put your shoes on and have done your energy thing, chant this to help add a bit more of a boost and picture it all “locking in”:

I am power, strength and bone

With every step I shatter stone

Would you like to test my will?

I promise it will be a thrill

Won’t you step into my lair?

Here comes the wicked witch

Beware!

Safe Travels!
