Times of need

To attract the attention of good influences during times of need, first wait for a moonless night and acquire some expensive champagne. At midnight on that night open the champagne and pour a portion of it at each corner of the property so that the bottle is empty when you finish.

Signatures

I'll cover this in more detail when its not so late and I've got more time to go into it, when I've not been working all day. And yeah, technically this is an update on my personal blog rather than this one but its still got the subject for today.

Charm for luck

I could sorely use some luck right now, and don't have the time for a nice long post so here you go. A simple one. Take some lodestone and place it in a red cloth bag, wear it around your neck or carry it in a pocket.

That's it really, there are some oils you can anoint it with for specific occasions which I'll try to go into tomorrow if I've got the time.

Making a ghost trap

A much easier way to deal with a ghost or spirit than trying to banish it, though not necesarily as effective. In essence as ghost trap is exactly as it sounds, a box or bottle designed to trap and contain a spirit. Its actually a variant on ghost water, but much more specifically aimed. The first thing to do is a lot of research into the spirit, finding out its name, who it was in life (if it was ever alive) and what it likes.

The next step is to acquire some of its likes, for example if it likes cigars then buy a good cigar. Spare no expense in buying this bait for maximum effect. Its always worth having a selection of things rather than a single one. You'll also need to find a small candle and either a bottle or a small metal box. Both the candle and container should be carefully cleansed and prepared, though the bait should be left untouched.

If using a bottle then shape the base of the candle so that it will fit into the neck. If using a box then make sure there is enough space for the candle inside. You'll also need something to seal the bottle with if you're using one. Get a slip of paper and write the name of the spirit on it, then place it inside the bottle or box. If you can find or draw a picture of the spirit (assuming it was alive) add that to the box as well.

Draw a circle around the box or bottle and place the bait near it, inside the circle. Place the candle inside the box or the neck of the bottle and light it. Leave it to burn. As soon as the candle has gone out seal the bottle or close the box. Hopefully you have now trapped the spirit inside. Put the box or bottle somewhere safe (if you want to use it again) or bury it to dispose of it.

Lust

A simple spell for lust, not love. I don't meddle with love magic beyond basic attraction as it gets far too messy. Love you'll have to find out about or develop yourself.

You need to obtain a picture of your target and if you can something that belogns to them (hair, a piece of clothing, jewelry), some rose water and a cloth bag or wooden box. Make sure that the bag or box is properly cleansed with salt water then rinsed with pure water.

Mix the rose water with semen and a little of your blood (if you're male) or menstrual blood (if you're female) and then anoint the picture with some of the mix while saying "(the name of your would-be-lover) I call you to my bed" or words to similar effect. Place the picture and their possession if you have one in the bag or box and put it somewhere safe and close to your bed. Repeat this procedure several times over the next few days and then wait.

Ghost Water Curse

A simple curse using ghost water. For best effect you should use water empowered by the graves of plague victims, and having a little grave dust doesn't hurt. At night on either an overcast night or the night of a new moon travel to your victim's house. Anoint the ground at each doorway to the house with a little ghost water, and smear the door itself with grave dust if you have it. Then leave.

This should draw spirits and disease to the house, making life for your victim unpleasant at best. Bear in mind though that this will affect the entire household, and may even affect visitors.

Ghost Water

A rather simple to make but effective agent for necromancy this one. It can also be used for cursing quite well.

Take a glass bottle and fill it with spring water. For preference collect the water yourself at night, but if necessary plain bottled spring water will do. Make sure that you have cleansed the bottle with salt water and then washed it well with pure water before bottling the spring water. Do not let the water or the bottle see sunlight after it has been sealed.

Once you have your bottled spring water take it to a gravesight at night. A little research can help here to choose the right grave for the ghosts you want to work into the water. Leave the water at the grave you have chosen for a full day and night, preferably a full moon if you can. Then collect the water, again at night, take it home and place it in a wooden box until use.
