Used this one myself! I didn’t end up in the exact place I was directing the energy to, I got the same type of job but down the road from the original place I was trying for. Not sure if that was just user error haha!

Definitely recommend this one!

Reblog to help add power to the image.

[I really want this job that I recently got offered, so I drew an image representing my desperation, the thing I want to work with and a sigil to help power it. I’m hoping this can help other people who are looking for their dream jobs or are on the brink of getting them.]

🔥 Room Healing Spell 🔥

A spell that can be cast at any moon phase or any time of the day to turn your room into a magick-inducive environment. The perfect spell for baby witches who want to start with spellwork. I created this when I was 12 (2006) and it has been 11 years since then and it’s still effective.

Recommended to Cast During: Any moon phase at any time of the day.

Colors: Black and White

Needed: 

🌿 2 Candles (either white or black)

🌙 An Athame (or any pointed object for engraving a candle)

🌿 A Wand (or any stick that is made from any natural material such as twigs, pencils, wooden chopsticks, selenite crystal, clear quartz wand)

To Cast:

🌿 Light one of the candles.

🌙 Start engraving a protection sigil or any symbolism that you dedicate with strength and protection on the unlit candle.

🌿 Twirl your wand around your engraved candle and say,

“Go away negativity and sway away. Positivity, if you wish to enter, you may.”

🌿 Light the engraved candle and carry it.

🌙 Bring the engraved candle with you and light the four corners of your room moving clockwise (start with north)

🌿 Meditate for 5 minutes after (chakra meditation is recommended or plain floor grounding is alright; that is to lie down completely on the floor)

What To Expect:

🌿 Your room will turn into a much more relaxing environment.

🌙 Negative energy that was collected through time will be diminished.

🌿 Better sleep, better naps, better magick.

🌙 Stronger magick especially for healing and love.

Lullaby to aid a dying plant

*this lullaby does not replace the care needed for a plant, it is just an aid.

I see you weary

But don’t fret for long

I’ll sooth your roots

With some song

Still holding on

And I will help

Don’t fret for long

You still have so much to hear

As you heal, I will keep you near

For this is where you belong
