Im sure youre excited to get to the spells.I am too! But before we begin, Id like to share with you somenotes, tips, and tricks to help your spell crafting go smoothly.And if youre new to Paganism or witchcraft, Ive got you coveredas well. ;)

Traditionally, casting on a full moon is usedfor banishment and casting on a new moon is used for manifestation.This is done because following a full moon, the moons visibilitybegins to wane, the bright orb slowly shrinking into the totaldarkness of a new moon (therefore pushing or banishing somethingaway from you). Alternatively, the new moon grows into aflourishing full moon and is thereby used to draw an intentiontoward you. While I completely agree and resonate with thosephilosophies, I also know magick can get very complicated,especially to a new practitioner. Throw in a few planets and anastrological house, and Pagans can find themselves confused andoverwhelmed.

PennilessPagan.com isall about simplifying. Magick should be natural and innate. Itshouldnt feel like a chemistry final. And if a pressing matter isat hand, most people dont want to wait for a particular lunarphase in order to address their problem.

Ive been practicing magick for nearly twentyyears, and Ive found that as long as your intentions are clear andyour mind is focused, the spell will manifest just fine.Ultimately, its a matter of your PASSION that drives the spell.YOU are the energetic force, harnessing power from the largerenergetic force of which we are all connected. Believe in the spelland the spell will manifest. Simple as that!

Now put away all those charts andcalculators. We have magick to cast!

Roughly every two to three years there is asecond full moon that occurs within a calendar month. This iscalled a blue moon. Blue moons are great for casting magick!On such a special year, I didnt want you to be left with no spellto cast! Therefore, I included thirteen individual spells/rituals(plus a super simple BONUS ritual for thosereally busy days!) so youll have an entire years worth of fullmoon celebrations, even on a blue moon year!

Most of the spells within this book take lessthan twenty minutes to complete, and many have variations so youcan cast the same spell for different purposes. And just in case aspell calls for an herb you dont have on hand, Ive included alist of thirteen magickal common household herbs and spices foryour swapping pleasure.

Basil: Protection, love, balance,connection to higher self

Black Pepper: Protection, banishingnegative energy

Chives: Protection, removing negativeenergy

Cinnamon: Protection, love, intuition,money, abundance

Dill: Protection, abundance, money

Ginger: Money, abundance, success,love

Nutmeg: Luck, money, abundance,love

Oregano: Peace, spiritual serenity

Parsley: Purification, cleansing

Rosemary: Protection, purification,love, strengthening a spell, health, healing

Sage: Protection, to draw wisdom,purification, grounding, connection with higher self, psychicawareness

Salt: Purification, protection

Thyme: Psychic awareness, healing,health, love, strength (emotional)

Like so much of life, the magickal meaning ofcolors varies on the individual. If youre interested in exploringcolor magick, take some time to think about what specific colorsmean to YOU. Does pink make you happy? Do you turn your nose up atorange? How do these responses translate into magickal purpose? Iforange makes you gag, its probably not a color youll turn to forsecurity and abundance. If pink makes your heart sing, its notwell suited for a warding spell.

Keep a journal and make notations aboutcolors and your response to them and experiences with them. Trywearing a specific color and see what happens that day. If yourewearing a bright yellow t-shirt and win a hundred dollars in a handof poker, yellow just may be what you reach for next time you casta money spell! Experiment. Find what works for you!

For your convenience, here is my personallist of thirteen colors and their magickal properties. Enjoy, mycolorful friend!

Black: Warding, self-guarding,introspection

Blue: Health, healing, protection,cleansing, spirituality, tranquility, serenity
