Cleansing Ritual for a Sick Friend

When a friend becomes ill, help speed his or her recovery by performing a cleansing ritual.
Performing a cleasing spell will help to cleanse your sick friends of their illness, and of any problems that might interfere with their recovery, such as feelings of vulnerability and depression.
Allowing time to recover
Before beginning, be mindful of your intentions; a person may need to go through a period of illness before he can be well again. Say "for the highest good" or "by divine will" before performing healing spells to show that you are honoring the process of the illness, as well as wishing for your friend's recovery.

Performing Your Ritual
You Will Need:
-1 pale blue pillar candle
-Flowers
-A memento of your sick friend - such as a photo or a piece of their jewelry
-Natural sea salt.

You may perform this ritual up to three times a day.

1. NO DISTURBANCES
Find a quiet place to perform your ritual.
2. HEALING FLOWERS
Place the flowers in a vase and set them down beside the candle.
3. REMEMBER THE SICK
Place the memento of your friend that you have chosen beside the candle.
4. BIND YOUR SPELL
Sprinkle a loose circle of natural sea salt around the group of items you have set up in order to define your magical area.
5. CANDLE MAGIC
Light your candle, and watch it slowly burn.
6. THINKING OF YOU
Sit quietly for 15 mintues and imagine your friend's pain or sickness dissolving into the salt.
7. GROUND THE SPELL
Blow out your candle, sweep up the salt, and dispose of it into some earth (away from plants, as salt can damage them).

More information:
*A PERSONAL ITEM
The personal item you use will focus your thoughts on your friend, and clear any other concernes from your mind. By placing it at the center of the spell, you are showing that your friend's well-being is your primary concern.
-If you don't have a recent photo of your friend, use an item of her jewelry instead. Something you gave as a present will help strengthen the bond between you.
-If you don't have a photo or jewelry to use, write his or her name by hand on unbleached paper.
-Wish for the outcome that is best for your friend - not just for you. People need time to recover slowly more than you need your social life back!
A photo of your friend when she was fit and healthy will help you to concentrate on her being that way again.
*FLOWERS FOR LIFE
Flowers are filled with the Sun's golden energy, making them an ideal ingredient in healing spells and is a perfect gift for a sick friend even when you aren't casting a spell. Good flowers to include:
-Marigolds, which represent and remind us of the life-giving Sun, promote rest, recovery and renewal.
-Red geraniums, the flowers associated with strong and courageous Mars, the god of war, aid a speedy recovery.
-Cyclamen offers protection from setbacks during sleep and convalescence.
-Give a sick friend a potted plant instead of cut flowers. Those who watch the living, breathing plant grow will gain strength as they recover and their health blossoms.
The white roses used in our spell promote peace of mind and tranquillity. White is the color of purity, washing away our worries and ills.
*CANDLES FOR CHANGE
Candles represent fire, which gives out the heat and light necessary for life. Candles also symbolize transformation - our problems dissolve along with the wax.
-Use a pale blue candle, as in our spell, to bring serenity, happiness and protection.
-Use a wide or pillar candle, so it can be lit and relit throughout your friend's illness. A slow-burning candle is best, as recovery takes time.
-If your friend is undergoing surgery, use a violet candle, as this represents success and victory over the challenge.
-Use a black candle if your friend has been emotionally hurt, or is depressed.
Focus on the candle's flame as you imagine your good wishes flying toward your friend, carried by the smoke.
*CRYSTALS FOR FOCUS
Crystals send out subtle vibrations that affect the atmosphere, if you use an item of your friend's jewelry in your spell, the crystal set into it can help the spell to work.
-Amethyst clears headaches, stress and anxiety.
-Citrine eases emotional states such as depression.
-Turquoise is a master healing stone that strengthens and protects during illness.
-Quartz harmonizes environments.
As well as using crystals in spells, you can give your sick friend a small crystal touchstone to put under his or her pillow.


CIRCLE OF SALT
Whenever you set up a spell, it is important to form some kind of circle around your activities. This defines the space, allowing you to focus your attention and helping to contain the energies you are channeling. This is called "binding" your spell. The best way to bind a cleansing ritual is with a circle of salt, into which you can visualize the illness dissolving.

It'd be easier if you told me what area you'd like better luck in. But anyways, here's a couple easy ones.

1. Luck Spell
Just say this when the Moon is full: (April 9th is the next Full Moon)
"Lady of luck come out of your hidden course,
bless your light upon me as the light of the Moon shines above,
and in the light of luck will be blessed I, when the Moon is next to be full."

2. Good Luck Spell
You need:
A candle to represent you (any color)
A gray candle
A black candle
An orange candle

It's best to perform this one while the moon is waxing http://www.griffithobservatory.org/skyfiles/skymoonphases2009.html.
Light the candle that represents yourself and say: “This is me, me in all things.”
Light the black candle and say: "This is all the bad luck that has dragged my footsteps. Trouble, disappointments and tears are here. This bad luck now leaves me forever".
Light the gray candle and say: "All that was bad is neutralized. All my bad luck is dissolved".
Light the orange candle and say: "This is the energy coming my way, to get my life moving and speed up the change".

Sit quietly for a while and visualize the negative energies being whisked into the gray candle and dissolved into empty nothingness. Visualize the orange candle drawing good energy and good luck towards you, see the air stirring about with possibilities and opportunities.

Let the candles burn down completely (take the usual safety precautions)

Good luck!
