Send Trouble Rushing Spell
Need to get rid of some really bothersome negative energy? Try this spell: Place a black candle in a small bowl of dirt. Light the candle, and as it burns visualize your troubles burning to near nothingness in the flame. Allow the candle to burn completely down, then take the bowl and the remains of the candle to a flowing stream, river, or creek. Slowly pour the contents into the water.
The current will take the last of the negative energy away with it. Wait until you can no longer see your troubles. Return home without looking back at the rushing waters.

Casting an Easy Circle
This is an easy way to cast a circle in a small or medium-sized group. Once everyone is standing or sitting in a circle, start by holding out your hand to the person on your left, and saying:
Hand to hand, the circle is cast. The person on your left should take your hand in his or her right hand, then hold out his or her left hand to the person on their left, and repeat:
Hand to hand, the circle is cast. This continues around the circle until it returns to you. When the circle is complete, all should say:
Hand to hand, the circle is cast, May it hold fast.

The Tension of Opposites Spell
Many people equate the sign of Libra with balance. But for many Witches its lesson is closer to psychologist Marion Woodman’s concept of “holding the tension of opposites.” Of course, this is difficult in a culture where duality reigns supreme. You are either good or evil, light or dark, one of us, or one of them. Yet, in identifying completely with one side and rejecting its opposite, we create an empty space where compassion should dwell. We waste vital energy in defending our position and sustaining our self-identification with one thing. We become rigid and unchangeable. As Witches, it is part of our duty to recognize our unknown self, to embrace our inner shadow, and live with the tension of opposites. Witches should learn to dance the eternal shadow dance, and know: I am that, too.

White Buffalo Woman Peace and Protection Spell
Since the end of the twentieth century, more than one white buffalo calf has been born. The white buffalo has long been a symbol in Native American lore of peace and the arrival of a new era. The goddess called White Buffalo Woman, meanwhile, is a goddess of peace. Invoke her to protect your home and keep it peaceful. To do so, find a picture, figurine, or plush toy white buffalo. Place the white buffalo along with any other Native American motifs you may have (a dream catcher, a kachina, and so on) on your altar with an offering of spring water and tobacco. Ask White Buffalo Woman for protection and peace, then smudge each room three times with a bunch of white sage, asking negative energies to leave. Afterward, thank her, and place the artifacts where they will do the most good (dream catcher in the bedroom window, for example.) Smudge the home once a month

Autumn Balancing Spell
Autumn is a time of balance, when light and dark are equal. The sign of Libra also governs balance, along with matters of cooperation. Remember that every story has two sides. When you find yourself confronted with a controversial issue, or when you get into an argument with a friend, Libra energy can help. One thing you can do to tap into this energy at this time is make a talisman that will focus this power. Start by lighting two candles—one blue and one yellow. Hold a coin between them, spinning it in your fingers so light from each candle falls on it. Then say:
Planet of judgment, Balance the scales; Bring a compromise That never fails. Carry the coin when you need help seeing another’s viewpoint.

A Spell to Reduce Defensiveness in Communications
If you encounter someone who seems very closed and defensive, unwilling or unable to hear what you have to say, try this spell. Sit down or place yourself lower than the other person. Be loose and relaxed; do not cross your arms or legs. Make your breathing slow and even. Visualize your aura (energy field) and draw it close to you. Imagine yourself holding a sword, and the other party holding a huge shield. Between you is a stone wall. In your mind's eye, put down the sword and watch the wall fade away. Silently invite your opposite to set aside the shield. Now invite the other party to speak, by saying something such as, "Can you tell me how you're feeling right now?" Listen, and listen some more. Watch the other's defenses melt.

Pet Memorial Ritual
To hold a memorial for a special pet who has passed on, place a picture of your pet (preferably taken when it was in its prime) on your altar. Lightdirectional candles, and place them around the picture. Light a black candle, and place it next to or on top of the picture. Meditate on your pet’s life and the joy it brought you. Look at the picture and speak words of peace for your pet’s soul:
Like the wind, soar free through the heavens. Like a flame, warm the hearts of those who think of you. Like water, let your spirit flow ever onward, Like the earth, be steadfast awaiting rebirth. As the wheel turns, may you find as much joy in your next life as you gave in this life.

A Past Life Dream Spell
In October, the door to the other-world opens. Our dreams serve now as doors to other realms. You can use your dreams to recall former lives, and then use this information to help you deal with problems in your current life. Perform this spell at bedtime when you aren’t overly tired. To start, you’ll need a smooth and polished amethyst stone. Sitting on a bed, hold the amethyst and say:
I call on the power of perfect memory to enable me to see a past life I’ve lived; it shall be revealed in my dreams. I’ll see only what I should see. So mote it be. Place the amethyst beneath your pillow and go to sleep. When you awake, record any images you recall. Repeat this spell over many nights.

Chakra Blockage Spell
To remove stress or any chakra blockages that may be undermining your health, sit with your eyes closed in a relaxed state. Breathe deeply several times, and then begin to visualize a brilliant white light flowing through your body. As this light moves through each of your seven chakras, see each area expanding, clearing, and becoming more radiant. Visualize each chakra spinning clockwise at a perfect speed. Allow this to continue until you see the last bit of light leave your feet and return to the earth. You are now an open channel that will allow only pure light and energy to flow. You are ready to receive divine inspiration and guidance.

Family Housecleaning Ritual
While this spell isn’t intended for a serious house cleansing, it will be sufficient for helping to air out your home a bit and to lighten the mood. Start by lighting some incense. As the smoke begins to curl up into the room, open all the doors and windows that you would have open on a nice day. Smudge each room in your house by carrying the incense and waving it around, making sure to waft smoke out open doors and windows. Let your other house members follow behind you with bells, maracas, or other noisemakers. After the incense and charcoal burn out, sprinkle the ashes outside your doors.

Housecleaning Spell
Give your house a good sweeping and dusting today—the energies and time of year are perfect for it. Start by moving what furniture you can. Then, clear out the cobwebs gathering in corners and along the ceiling. Actually move items off the shelves to dust under, as well as around, them. As you clean, visualize all of the negative energy gunk swirling up into the billowing dust along with everything else. Feel the dirt squirming with negative energy as you sweep it all up into the dustpan. See it scattering out of the house while you dust. (You might want to dust first, so you can sweep up the residue.) Make sure to deposit all dirt, dust, and vacuum cleaner bags outside immediately.

Meteor Shower Spell
Since few of us will be awake to see the Orionid meteor shower last this night, we can set up a wish spell to receive visions of it while we dream. Just before falling asleep, when you are relaxed and sleepy, count down from ten to one and enter a deeper, more relaxed state. Visualize Halley’s comet passing the Earth. See its tail leaving debris in its wake. Now picture this debris streaking through our atmosphere as meteors— hundreds of shooting stars light up the early morning sky. Tell yourself, with strong intent, that your astral body will watch the meteor showers tonight. Whisper your wish and state that your spirit will take this wish to the stars as you sleep. Then allow yourself to fall to sleep.

A Maple Leaf Prosperity Spell
In the Fall when I was a child, I remember walking past the stately old homes in my neighborhood. Above them towered ancient maple trees, blazing with color. Back then I did not realize that the maple was significant in magic. Ruled by Jupiter, maple leaves are appropriate to use in prosperity magic. To work this beautiful spell, collect three colored maple leaves of different colors—yellow, red, and gold. Upon each, using a marker, draw wealth symbols such as dollar signs, Sun shapes, or the rune feoh (f), and speak this charm:
Leaves of magic, Leaves of maple, Yellow, red, and gold- Bring to me wealth to hold. To release the spell, place the leaves on the ground near your home. Let the autumn wind carry them, and your wish, to the divine.

All My Relations Spell
Put a drumming tape on today, and sit or lie in a darkened room. Listen to the drums for several minutes, then listen for the space between the drum sounds. Move your awareness into this space as though you are entering a tunnel. On the other side of the tunnel is a wilderness. It might be a garden, lake, or cave. As you look around, allow an animal to approach you with a message. Listen carefully and then move further into the space, and allow another animal to approach you, give you a message, and receive your thanks. Do this until you have acquired all the messages that you are supposed to. Follow the drum sound back out the tunnel.

Releasing Intense Emotions Spell
Sometimes in our daily routine we can build up a lot of intense emotional energy. The Scorpio New Moon is a good time to attempt to release this energy. By ridding ourselves of this excess emotional energy, we allow our minds and bodies to stay healthy. To prepare for this, take a piece of unlined paper, a pen, a black candle, and a bowl of pure water and sea salt. Light the candle and write down any concerns, fears, or frustrations you may be feeling right now. Allow the words to come flowing out from your pen. Do not hold back. You may even feel like saying the words aloud as you write them to allow them to move from inside you to the outside world. Once you have finished writing, burn the paper in the candle flame. After burning the paper, dip your fingers in the water and sprinkle yourself with it while saying:
I release these words, I release this tension. I release this negativity from my life.
