Planetary Magic of Mars

For cursing your enemies 

For this spell you will need

Seal of Mars from the 6th and 7th Books of Moses OR The 3rd, 4th, or 7th Pentacle of Mars
9 nails
Mars oil
Mars Incense
Another cursing oil such as Jinx, Crossing, Inflammatory Confusion, Dark Arts, Destruction or DUME.
A Hammer
A picture of your enemy.
A large tree, Recommended trees being Pine Trees, Hawthorn, Blackthorn, and other trees that have thorns such as the Ceiba, Black and Honey Locust trees, and Blue Palo Verde trees. 

Take your 9 nails, and anoint them with Mars oil and your cursing oil of choice. Depending upon how nasty of a curse you want, or the kind of curse you want will determine your choice. If you just want to give someone a bad jinx that can last a long time, go with Jinx oil. If you want to really mess them up, Crossing or Dark Arts, and if you want total ruin, use Destruction or DUME oil.
Set the nails on top of the seal or pentacle you have chosen.

The Seal of Mars from the Books of Moses will work for all situations.
The 3rd Pentacle from the Key of Solomon will work for all situations, but also for striking at people that are not personal enemies, but criminals, malcontents and other people who bring harm to your community or society in general.
The 4th pentacle is good for personal enemies so you will have victory over them.
The 7th Pentacle is recommended for destruction and complete annihilation.

Once the nails are set on top, Light the Mars incense, and recite the following:

“O honored Mars, Fierce and untamed, Lord of Battles and Doer of Evil,
Your power can shake the foundations of even the mightiest of men, bringing them low
You are pleased by the savage roar of combat, and delight in in the weapons of war and the spilling of blood, Bringer of strife and misfortune, Grant me your awesome and terrible power that I may conquer my enemies. By your names Mavors, Ares, Bahram, Angara, Mangala, Mirrihm, Ma’adim, pour forth your great power into these steel nails, that they may be swords, spears, and arrows against my enemies and bring them down and subdue them utterly!”

Then smoke the nails in the Mars incense, and set them back down on the chosen talisman.

Take the nails, and the picture of your enemy, and go find a tree outside. The trees listed are all trees ruled by Mars, but if you are completely unable to find such a tree, any tree will do in a pinch. Just make sure the tree is healthy and strong.
Take the picture of your enemy, and place it on the tree, with the head of your enemy upside down, holding it there with your hand, and holding a nail, at the center of the photo. Hammer the first nail at the center fully into the tree, calling the name of your enemy as you do so. Then take the remaining nails, and just tap them into the picture and the tree, so they are secure, but not fully in the tree. You should set the nails so they form an X over the picture. Each arm of the X should be made of two nails.
Each day after, return to the tree, and call the name of your enemy as you hammer one nail into the tree. Once all the nails are hammered into the tree, the curse is complete.

Planetary Magic of Venus

A Venus sugar jar spell for love and reconciliation.

For this spell you will need

A jar (4 oz jar is ideal)
Enough sugar to fill the jar
The 2nd Pentacle of Venus
Magical links for you and the target
A pen
A pink or red candle
A candle holder
Venus oil
Venus incense

On a Friday during the hour of Venus (recommend using the 1st hour which starts at sunrise)

Light some Venus incense, and take the 2nd Pentacle of Venus and let the incense smoke the pentacle. As the smoke rises around the pentacle, recite the versicle from the Pentacle, “Put me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm, for love is as strong as death”

Then take the pentacle and fold it in half. Open the pentacle again, and on one side write your name, and on the other side, write the name of your lover that you wish to attract or reconcile with. Then fold the paper back together, as if you and the person are coming together for a kiss,  and put it into the jar.
Then fill the jar with sugar until the jar is full. Then put the jar on the lid and screw it on so it is securely attached.

Hold the jar in your hands, and pray over it the verse from the Pentacle again.

Put the whole jar in the smoke from the Venus incense, and again, recite the verse.

Then take the candle holder and set it on top of the jar. Take the candle and anoint it with Venus oil. Set it securely into the candle holder and light the candle. As the candle burns and some incense should still be burning, call out
O Venus, Heavenly, Illustrious, laughter loving queen, Foam born Goddess, Apparent and yet whose influence is unseen.
All Attractive, whose influence binds all creatures in love and desire, hear my request and grant me my desire.
Unite me with (target’s name) and fill our hearts with love and desire, a flame that reaches ever higher within our hearts, desiring only to please each other in whatever we can, and accepting of each other’s faults, and bringing us together in perfect companionship and love. By your hidden names Nepherieri and Aroriphrasis, bring about my desire O Venus!

Let the candle burn until it goes out. You can repeat this spell with the candle once a week, on a Friday during the hour of Venus. 

Once the candle goes out, keep this sugar jar in someplace clean, where people won’t find it and mess with it. Some  suggested places are in a closet, up high, or in a container under your bed. The container is to keep dust and debris from accumulating on the jar.

Planetary Magic of Mercury

A mercurial rite to accomplish any desire

You will need
1st Pentacle of Mercury
2nd Pentacle of Mercury
Any odd number of Mojo Beans (1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
Mercury Oil
Mercury Incense
7 orange candles.
A slip of paper.

On a Wednesday morning, just after sunrise, which is the day and hour of Mercury.
Take the slip of paper and write out your wishes. It should be an odd number of wishes, that is 1, 3, 5,7 or 9. Place the two pentacles over your wish, and set your candle holder on top of the pentacles.
Choose as many mojo beans as you want, so long as it is an odd number. You can use all the mojo beans for one wish, or several beans for several wishes. The number of wishes and the beans does not have to match. Take the mojo beans and anoint them with Mercury oil. Place them around the candle holder and the pentacles.

Take an orange candle, anoint it with Mercury oil, and place it into the candle holder. Light the candle, and then light the incense. As the incense rises speak the following,

“O Spirits of Mercury, who like their namesake traverse the whole of creation, rapidly moving everywhere. No place is forbidden to you, no door is barred against you. All the spirits under the heavens are subject to you. You bring good luck and success in all endeavors, and grant all wishes. Hear now my desires and bring them to my completion. (Speak out loud your wishes now). Go forth O spirits of Mercury! By your names in all the parts of the world, do my bidding, Barhujas. Amiras, Hitis Sahis, Daris, Hilis, Dahdis, and  Mahudis! And by the true and hidden name of Mercury, my wishes are fulfilled Oser gariac nomaap!”

Let the candle burn down until it goes out. Repeat this rite for seven days. On the 7th day, when you have completed the final prayer, take the beans and go to running water and throw the beans into the water over your left shoulder and then leave without looking back. Your wishes will be granted.

How to do a full Uncrossing ritual bath

This is a guide to one way to do an Uncrossing bath ritual.
For this ritual you will need
2 small white candles
A bathtub
A mixture for Uncrossing
Water
A cup or small tub
Uncrossing oil

Extras (may not may not be optional)
A cooking pot, medium to large in size

The first step is preparing the bath mixture. If you are using a mix of herbs, such as a 13 herb bath, you will need to steep the herbs, like a tea, and you will also want to strain out the herbs before adding the herb infused water into the bath. A simple muslin sack, or putting the herbs into a cheese cloth and making a sachet with it is quite effective. A medium to large cooking pot can be used to heat the water and steep the herbs.
If you have a different mixture that will quickly dissolve in water, then you can skip this part.

There are many bath mixtures. Some are purely herbs, others might be pure water soluble minerals, like a mixture of salts and soda. Some can be a combination of both. A simple way to make your own is to pick three herbs for Uncrossing, any three, and just use that. Or pick three minerals, or a combination of 3 items.
Here are some suggestions
1) mint, eucalyptus, hyssop
2) Rue, Nettle, Verbena
3) Salt, Epsom Salt, Baking Soda
4) Salt, Epsom Salt, Blueing
5) Hyssop, Pine, Eucalyptus

Draw the water in the bathtub. Use a comfortable temperature. As the water fills in, you should add the bath mixture.
As the bath continues to fill, take your two white candles, and anoint them with Uncrossing oil. Place these candles at opposite ends of the bath, so that you step between them when you get into the bath. Light the candles.

You should have your cup or small tub with you, possibly sitting on the ledge of the tub (away from the candles, but not in your way). Disrobe and get into the bathtub.

Now, while you are in the bathtub, here is a question of what you do. In a Christian tradition, you would recite a prayer related to your work. If you have been cursed, it is common to use Psalm 37. If you are seeking purification, it is common to use Psalm 51. You can also use Psalm 23 for just about any purpose.
If you are not a Christian, what should you use? Well, you can still use the Psalms if you want. If that is really contrary to you, then there are some other options.
If you are familiar with spiritual energy work, there are many practices which involve cleansing your spiritual channels and centers, your aura, etc. You can do that while in the bathtub.

If you are a really old school occultist, this would be the time to attempt the bathing ritual from the Greater Key of Solomon. I am not going to write that all down, when a perfectly good website describes it all, clearly. Just google “Key of Solomon Concerning the baths” and go to the website named Esoteric Archives. If that doesn’t show up in the first page of searches, I don’t know what to tell you.

This is also where you could write your own incantations for curse removal and spiritual cleansing.
An affirming declaration of “I am clean, clear, whole and restored” repeated regularly while sitting in the bath can do the job.
You could also combine all of these methods in any way and get a very good Uncrossing.

When you feel you are finished, take that cup or tub, and take some water from the bathtub. Set it aside, and get out of the tub. Let the water drain away.  Allow yourself to air dry. This can be assisted by going on putting on fresh clean underwear and underclothing. The clothing will absorb the water, and then rapidly dry out from your body heat. You can also turn on a heater or a hair dryer if it’s really cold and you want the extra warmth. If the weather is hot and dry, just stand in front of a fan and you will be dry in no time.

Finish getting dressed in clean, fresh clothing, and then take that cup of water and go outside. Find a large, healthy tree, and while facing East, pour the water out onto the tree. A Christian would “In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit” while doing so. Another person can just say “SO IT IS”. Once you dump the water, turn around and walk away without looking back.
For truly best results, I highly recommend doing the whole bath before sunrise so that when you are dumping the water on the tree, it is sunrise, or shortly thereafter.

You will also get very good results repeating this ritual bath several times. Especially if you have been crossed a long time ago and are finally removing it, or it was a very nasty and fast acting curse. A very bad situation might require a full lunar month of ritual baths, with only short breaks during the full and dark moons.
3 days can be enough for more simple issues like an unexplained streak of bad luck
7 is good if you have strong evidence that someone has cursed/crossed you.

If you want to really commit to doing magic, spells, and rituals, I highly recommend taking up a practice of regular, monthly, Uncrossing ritual baths. I personally did such baths every Saturday for many, many years. It has brought a lot of positive changes in myself and in my life.

Planetary Magic of the Moon

For this spell, you will need:

Two 1st Pentacle of the Moon from the Key of Solomon
Two keys
Water from 3 or 7 different sources
A clear glass bottle or jar that can hold quart to a gallon of water
Two large clear glass cups or clear glass bowls.
Master Key Oil

The first step is to collect the water for the spell. At a minimum you should get water from a minimum of 3 different sources. They can come from natural sources, or holy water from a church. They can all be similar, like spring water from different springs, or different sources, like river water, spring water, rain water etc… You can also get all holy water from different churches. 

Once you have your waters, combine the waters into one clear glass container that should be clean. At a minimum you want a quart of water, but you can make more.

Then take this water, and on the night of the full moon, expose the water to the light of the full moon.  If you can expose it all night, that is good, but even just 5 minutes is enough to enchant the water with lunar light.

This next step can be done at any time afterwards, but it should be done either the day before, the day of, or the day after the full moon. So you can do it right after making the moon water, or you can wait for the next full moon or many full moons later to do it.

Take the 1st Pentacle of the Moon talismans, and set them down. On top of each pentacle, set a glass cup or bowl so you can see the pentacle through the base of the glass. Fill the cups with your special moon water. Take one key and insert the tip and blade of the key into the water of one glass. Turn the key as if you are opening a door. Take the other key, and put the end into the other glass of water, and turn that key as if you are locking a door. As you do this with each key recite the verse from Matthew 16:19,


I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Remove the key from the water and dry it off. Take three sips of the water from the water that you opened with the key. You can bathe or rinse yourself in this water, sprinkle the water inside your home, and use it for other beneficial aims to open “metaphorical” doors for you for any purpose. You can also drink this water, or infuse it with herbs to focus the water on a specific goal, such as good luck, money, or love.

With the water that you locked,  you can use this to protect your home by locking out your enemies, and sprinkling it outside around your home, or in the paths of enemies to lock them out of good fortune to cross them up. You can also infuse herbs for protection into this water for yourself, or infuse crossing herbs to focus the water to cross up and lock up your enemies.

Take the keys, and anoint them with Master Key oil. These keys are now lunar talismans that can help you to unlock or lock up things. Keep them someplace secure and use them in your rites as desired. You can also wear them as talismans that will bring you good luck and avert misfortune and enemies.

Planetary Magic of the Sun

For this spell you will need

A piece of jewelry with a sun design on it.
A piece of blank 8.5×11 paper
A pencil, a yellow colored pencil or a regular pencil
A ceramic plate or bowl
7 yellow candles
A gold colored candle holder
Sun oil
Frankincense or Copal de Oro resin
Sun bath salts
Angelica
Bay leaves
Chamomile
Spring water
A clear glass jar
A small clean towel, like a tea towel, or a towel for drying dishes, 

Acquire a piece of jewelry with a sun design on it. Any kind of jewelry. A ring or pendant is recommended, but earrings or an earring is also good.

Take the spring water, and pour it into the glass jar. Add a teaspoon of Sun bath salts to it. Close the jar, and set it into a sunny place where it will sit in sunlight for at least an hour, before midday.  If you can place the jar in the sun at dawn, that would be ideal, and if you did this on a Sunday, that would be even better. Once the water has been suitably exposed, you now have Sun Water.

Take the paper and the pencil, and draw an image of the sun on the paper. It should fill the paper. A simple circle with 12 rays of light coming from it is enough. 

Set up the paper on a flat, steady surface, and in the center, place a bay leaf. Sprinkle pinches of angelica root, and chamomile onto the bay leaf and the sun design. You should have this prepared before the next step.

On a Sunday, at dawn, take the jewelry, and dip it in the sun water. Then dry it off with the towel, and anoint it with the sun oil.  Cover it with your plate upside down, and take the yellow candle. Anoint it with Sun oil, set it into the golden candle holder, and set it on top of the overturned plate. Light the candle.

Prepare incense charcoal for burning incense. Put either Frankincense or Copal de Oro to burn on the charcoal.

As the candle and incense burns say the following: 

Oh Noble Sun, exalted and resplendent. May you be blessed! Oh Mighty Sun! By your names I call to you, Shamash, Sol, Helios, Surya, As all the planets reflect your light, I ask that I may also reflect your light, and be made fortunate, exalted, and splendid through your power and grace. Imbue your dazzling radiance into this jewelry, transmit your light that it may shine through me when I wear this jewelry, granting me dominion and exaltation, that all people will look upon me with favor, and people with authority will elevate me to an exalted and sublime position, and that all manner of good luck, good fortune and blessings will abound upon me.

Then let the candle burn until it goes out.

You will repeat this spell, with dipping the jewelry in Sun water, anointing it with sun oil and burning the candle and reciting the prayer each day of the week. Each day it will be done at the Hour of the Sun in the morning for that day. You will need to identify the Hour of the Sun that happens before or at noon each day.

On the final day, Saturday, after the candle has finished, you can take the jewelry and begin wearing it, as your personal Sun talisman, You can wear it constantly, or only wear it when you feel that you need it to bring you success, good fortune and good luck, and to bring favor from people around you, especially people in positions of authority over you, like bosses, managers, executives etc…

Take the paper with Sun design and the herbs, and carefully fold it up into a little packet. You should keep this packet, and store the packet and your jewelry together when you take it off. 
You can keep the water and sprinkle it around your home, to fill it with blessings of the sun, or pour it over yourself, for a quick boost of Sun energy when you want it.

It is best if you do this spell when the Sun is in Aries or Leo, but it can also be successful when the Sun is in Sagittarius. You should avoid doing this when the Sun is in Aquarius or Libra.

Harvest Home and International Day of Peace

September 21st is the Autumn Equinox. Another old name for this day was Harvest Home before Aidan Kelly decided on the name Mabon.
In the mid 20th century, the United Nations decided to name September 21st as the International Day of Peace. I find this an interesting choice and a fascinating overlap. The first thought that came to mind was how the equinox is the balance point and the days surrounded it are more or less equal hours of day and night. A moment of peace between one the bright and long days of summer, and dark and long nights of winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Whichever one you decide to observe, may you have a blessed day, and may these blessings continue to bring you more blessings in the future.

The 9 Days of St Cyprian

Every year, September 17 marks the beginning of the 9 days leading up to the Feast Day of Saint Cyprian of Antioch, the saint of sorcerers, necromancers, root doctors, and all people who work in folk magic. While no longer recognized by the Catholic Church, the Orthodox churches still recognize him, and many folk magic practitioners, especially from Iberian descended folk magic, and other people who learned of his devotion and practice revere him, and pray for his aid an intercession in various things. His name appears on books of the occult across Europe, with the most famous, the Sorcerer’s Treasure, is rooted in Iberian folk magic. The are numerous versions, with some version just being The Key of Solomon in Spanish.
I started to pray and revere to Saint Cyprian many years ago, as when I learned about him, I was immediately drawn to such an interesting figure, and a kind of crossroads of Christian and Pagan pathways. Over those years I have learned that Cyprian is called upon in many situations, and while protection and curse breaking are some of the best known, job getting, love, money, and many more things are possible with his aid.
If you have never heard of Saint Cyprian, and he intrigues you, I invite you to began a 9 day devotion to him. If you already work and make devotions to him, I am glad to join all devotees in recognizing the amazing and awesome capabilities of Saint Cyprian and his intercession with The Most High.

Mage and Martyr, Saint and Sorcerer, Take my prayers and make them your own. When the Lord hears them, he will not ignore them because they will cease to be my words, but yours.
Amen
