With Mabon fast approaching, many of us are considering how
we will celebrate. As for my house, we’re having a pot roast made with
homegrown potatoes, carrots, and onion.
For those of you who know me, no, I did not grow these at “my” home. My
thumb is unfortunately, somewhat brown, but my roommate keeps us in herbs and
tomatoes. However, no matter how good he is, we just don’t have that big a
garden. This is a feast to celebrate the
harvest though, so it’s only fitting to use fresh vegetables.
One element of my preparation for Mabon is to decide
what type of ritual and spell we want to do for the Equinox, and get ready for
that by casting a luck spell beforehand to add energy to our ritual.
As with most spells, the caster can customize the spell to
individual preference. Many people simply choose to wear a talisman or charm to
add to their good luck. Others want to cast a circle, call the quarters, and
use formal customs. Both types work equally well. The focus, intent, and
beliefs of the caster determine the effectiveness of all spells, so if
something about a spell is not working for you, change it. Your ability to put
everything into your spell will determine the outcome, so you want to make it
good.
Not only can you draw good luck with this spell, you can
also bless and anoint a good luck talisman of some sort at the same time. You
will need the following:
Wooden Spoon
Set up your altar with small things that represent good luck
to you. As you might have guessed, many of my altarpieces are triquetras of one
form or another, so that’s what I use. Collect whatever says luck to you, and
place it or them on the altar along with the candles, the bowl, and the oils. If
you wish to bless an item, gather it within your space. Since you’re doing a
blessing as well and blessing amulets, use your athame to cast a simple circle
and raise energy.
Place the bowl in the center of your altar and combine your
oils, pouring one at a time. Whether you want only enough of the blend for
anointing your candles, and your amulet, you will use 1 tablespoon of almond
oil to 1/8 tsp. each of the rose oil and the peppermint oil. If you want to
save some to wear as a perfume, use 1 ounce of almond oil to 1/8 tsp. of each
of the other oils As you pour each one, say
Bless this
oil that it bring its luck to me
When the oils are all in the bowl, gently swirl them together.
Use your spoon to complete the blending.
Carve what type of luck you want, love, money, business, home, into the candle. Anoint your candles with the oils. As you do so say,
Good luck
and good fortune flow to me
Light the candles.
Dip your amulet into the bowl until the charm itself is
covered. As you do this say,
Bless this
sign of fortune and see
As my will,
so mote it be
Slowly release the energy and your circle. Let the candles
burn for at least one hour.
