Dear Friends,

Blessing is one of the most important things you can do as a Witch. You bless those around you through your positive energy and light. You bless your home by keeping it clean of clutter and stale energy. You bless your money as you send it out because you know it will return to you, as is the law of abundance. Blessing spells are some of my favorite spells and this week, I wanted to share some of most cherished blessing spells. The following are for blessing in many areas of life. Remember, when you are blessing others you are blessing yourself and the universe.

Book of Shadows Blessing

Preparation: At the time of the Full Moon, take your Book of Shadows (one that hasn’t been written in yet) and some incense (pennyroyal, anise or rue) outside. Ritual: Under the light of the Full Moon, draw a pentagram on the first page and under this write the following information: date, time, place, your magical name (and sigil if you have one), the moon’s phase and any other info you feel is important. Hold the book up to the Moon and say:
“Here as the Full Moon shines upon me,
Bless this Book I’ve made tonight.
I humbly ask this of thee,
Underneath your most sacred light.”

House Blessing
Find the center point of the house. If there is more than one level, then use the stairs as the center. Take a cup of red wine and take a sip at each turn.
Drain the cup at the end Face the East saying:
Lady of Love and power and all blessings,
breathe Love into this house. Fill the air with good.
Through you and in you, I bless this house.
Face the South saying:
Lady of Love and living and all blessings,
warm this house with comfort. Make whole its hearth.
Through you and in you, I bless this house.
Face the West saying:
Lady of tide and time and all blessings, let every hour flow sweetly in this house.
Make pure its tides. Through you and in you,
I bless this house.
Face the North saying:
Lady of earth and stability and all blessings,
plant security within this boundary. Make strong its defenses.
Through you and in you, I bless this house.
Turn to all four points twice more and repeat each time, for a total of three recitations.

I’m Blessed to Have you Spell:

This spell is worked to build appreciation and thankfulness for the loving Goddess and Spirits who have brought you together with the one you love.
Take a white candle. Clean it for ritual use. Anoint it with Gratitude or I’m Thankful Oil.
Light it every night or morning as part of your daily prayer or meditation time holding the thoughts of thankfulness and gratitude for all that you have including the love in your life. When finished, take the wax and sprinkle it with salt. Rinse in running water.
Place in a white bag with pinch of salt and dispose of it.

White Candle Spell for Blessing:

Get a white candle — either a plain one or a figural one in the gender of the person you want to bless. Carve the person’s full name on the candle, and then dress it with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil. For more power, you may place a name-paper of the person, or a photo, or some personal item of theirs (such as a bit of hair or a snippet of clothing) either under the candle or next to it. One easy way to do this is to place the paper or personal concerns under an overturned saucer and put the candle on top of the saucer. Burn a portion of the candle every day for seven days, pinching it out between burnings.

As you light it each day, say this:
[Name], may you be blessed
May all good things come to you
May nothing whatsoever harm you
May your heart be light
May your travels be safe
May your health be good
May your mind be sound
May your friendships sustain you
May you be blessed in every way

* If you have a special request for this person (such as that they find a lover, get a good job, come home safely from a war, or whatever), just add it to the list. Some people use a large pillar-type candle and keep it going for longer than seven days. They may make a habit of burning such a candle every day — or once a week, on Sundays — for as long as their friend or relative needs help, even doing so for months at a time. If the candle is large and it is to be burned in this way, it should be re-dressed with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil once a week: after the initial dressing, you can drop a tiny bit of oil into the “well” or hole in such a large candle just before lighting it each time.

Enjoy blessing yourself and those around you!
