Safe Travel Spell
By: Rowan Moonstone


You will need:

2 white candles annointed with sandalwood oil.
1 purple candle annointed with sandalwood oil.
Photo or personal articles of the person the spell is for "Personality "
candle, appropriate to the recipient of the spell
Sandalwood incense

Spell to know if you should travel.


Items needed:

A feather
A piece of string 4-6 inches long
A strand of your hair
A piece of gravel from the road (  street )

Tie your hair around the feather. Tie the rock to the feather with the string.
Put the whole thing by your bedside before going to sleep. In the morning take
the whole thing and place it about 6 inches from the curb. Wait 24 hours
before
looking at it again.

If it is all right, then your travel will be fine. If the whole thing is
missing, then there is no definite answer. If one of the items is missing,
then there might be problems with that part of your travel.  The feather
represents the mode of travel.
The hair is you the person.  The rock is the path you take (It is suggested
that you use a stone that you don't mind losing and that might also represent
earth, air or water).  Otherwise, the rituals are of your own choosing.


Altar should be arranged as below:

____________________________________________________________________________

Light white candles (1& 2)  light personality candle (3) light purple candle
(4), light incense (5).  Repeat the following invocation:

"Hail Mother of the World!
Nanna, Isis, Astarte, Selene, Holy Sin (pronounced Sheen).
See me, look upon me
See me, look upon me
See me, look upon me
Protect me and my people tonight.
Send your white light around me.
Send your protective light around ______________
That they may be protected
As they travel and as they dream.
Send only good and lucid energies their way.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.

You can either let the candles burn out by themselves, or snuff them in
reverse order and let them burn a little each night if the person will be on
an extended trip.  On the last night let them burn down on their own.  NEVER
blow our or pinch out the candles.  This destroys the luck.


*A SPELL FOR SAFE TRAVEL

candle of your color choice
vegetable oil
2 white candles
purple candle
powdered sandalwood
sandalwood incense

The candle of your choice represents you or the person
for whom the spell is performed. Inscribe your name on
this "personality" candle. Annoint all the candles
with vegetable oil and roll them in the powdered
sandalwood.
Place the personality candle in the center of the
altar, with a white candle on the left and the purple
candle on the right. Place the second white candle in
front of the first white one, and the incense in front

of the purple candle. Light the two white candles, the
personality candle, the purple candle, and the
incense-in that order.
Chant the following:
Mother of the World, arise!
Watch over me with keenest eyes.
As I travel, shed your light
And keep me safe both day and night.
Watch over my belongings, please,
And grant my trip be filled with peace.
Protect me for I am Your own,
Then guide me safely back to home.
(If this spell is for more than one traveler,
substitute we for I, us for me, our for my, and so
on.)
Let the candles burn down completely. Collect the
burned wicks or leftover wax(if there is any) in a
cloth handkerchief. Tie the upper right-hand and lower
left-hand corners together, then the lower right-hand
and upper left-hand corners together to secure. Carry
the handkerchief with you as a safe travel charm.
