Items needed:
- A Day Candle (the appropriate colour for the day you are doing the spell, Monday-white, Tuesday-red, Wednesday-purple, Thursday-blue, Friday-green, Saturday-black, Sunday-yellow)
- Other Candles 3 Violet candles, 3 white candles
- Tools Athame to inscribe candles
- Props A comfy cushion or pillow
- Incense Anise, Cardamon and Coriander
- Oil Jasmine, Lemon, Rose and Sandalwood
- Bathing Herbs Cinnamon, Frankincense, Myrrh and Sandlewood
Timing:
- Best performed during the Mercury hour of the day, although any hour will work and any moon phase is appropriate.
Preparation:
- Breathe deeply and build a ball of protective light around you, while soaking in your ritual bath, meditate on the impending ritual: the steps you will take and what you wish to say to your spirit guide when you make contact.
Ritual:
- Enter the circle in the hour of Mercury, light the incense, with the oil dress the day candle while concentrating on the purpose of the ritual. Light your day candle and state your intent: "I am here to make contact with my spirit guide and to acknowledge him or her. Lord and Lady I ask for your guidance and support in my quest, so mote it be."
- Next sit down on your comfy cushion or lay down on it, whichever feels right. close your eyes, focus on your breathing, each breath in and out while you clear your mind of everyday clutter. Imagine yourself putting each thought into a box and once you have put every thought that comes into your mind into the box, lock the box and put the box into a cupboard. then imagine the cupboard vanishing slowly from sight.
- Once the cupboard has vanished from sight, you start to see a beautiful tropical rain forest slowly come into sight. It is blurry at first but it starts to become clearer as the sight of the rain forest becomes clearer so do the sounds of running water, birds chirruping and the sounds of other creatures.
- Once the Forest is completely present and the image is completely clear you start to walk through the forest. You notice every sight, every sound, every touch, you can even taste it, you keep walking feeling yourself be really present in the moment.
- As you keep walking you come to a clearing and when you approach the clearing you see someone and you know instinctively that this is your spirit guide.
- What happens next is up to you...................................
- When the time feels right for you to leave, slowly imagine everything fading from view: your spirit guide, the sounds and sights of the forest until it is completely gone and everything is black wake up.
- Lie there for a second, let yourself adjust to your surroundings.
- Now take the Athame and inscribe the name of which your spirit guide gave you onto your Day candle. You now have a candle to use whenever you want to contact your spirit guide or meditate on any message he or she may have for you or any question/guidance that you need from them.
- Extinguish this candle and all the others, do the same with the incense.
- Ground yourself by having your cakes and ale.
- End your ritual and close your circle how you would normally
I hope you enjoy this spell and find it useful for establishing a connection with your spirit guide. It is a similar ritual to what I used, I just embellished it slightly. I am very pleased with it. I love writing spells.
Leave me a comment and let me know what you think and if you use it how it went!
Blessed Be
