Then, we light Vesta powder to purify the room with its smoke, to create peace, and to banish bad vibes and evil spirits.
Next we light incense. Kyoto incense lifts the spirits and prevents jinxes. This establishes the purpose of the ritual; for peace of mind.
The final preparation before setting the altar up is to sprinkle Anger powder on the altar and the floor around the altar. This will absord all negative energy. A relaxation exercise may also help.
Then we set out the candles on a green altar (green for luck). The two white altar candles are standard, representing the purity of your intentions, and are annointed with the highly aromatic High John the Conqueror oil. Van Van oil or Altar oil are also feasible. The candles could be replaced with black for vengeance, or with a color you feel is religious or significant. A talisman between them, such as a cross or magic seal, might be nice. I use Anna Riva's Overcome Worry Voodoo Veve to wipe out fear and instill self-confidence. It's in red for vitality. An orange candle for peace of mind is the focus of the spell. Annoint it with Wolf's Heart oil, to grant courage. Finally, something to represent yourself or the person for who you are doing the spell. I use the symbol for Taurus, because that is my birth sign. Light the right altar candle first if you are right-handed, the left altar candle first if you are left-handed. Then light the other altar candle and the orange focus candle.
"I am special and unique,
Intelligent and kind.
Though my aid others seek,
May peace be on my mind."
Or, write your own. Concentrate on what you repeat to yourself, on the energy flowing through your body, and the uplifting nature of the spell. A few minutes a day is sufficient. If you lead a particularly stressful life, taking half an hour to meditate may make living much more enjoyable.
A good luck spell
A love spell
