This spell harnesses the power of intuition, clarity, and the element of water to reveal the true intentions of another person.
The goal is to bring to light any hidden motives, thoughts, or feelings they may have, allowing you to see their actions more clearly and gain insight into their true purpose.
What you need:
• A small mirror (symbolizing reflection and truth)
• A bowl of water (for clarity and intuition)
• A white candle (for purity and truth)
• A sprig of rosemary or rosemary essential oil (for mental clarity)
• A small piece of paper and pen
• A pinch of sea salt (for purification)
• A quiet, dark space
I am also from the school of thinking…timing matters…so perform this spell during the waxing moon for revelation, or on a Monday (a day ruled by the Moon, associated with intuition and hidden truths). Perform it at night to enhance the connection with subconscious energies.
How to do this spell…
Cleansing and Preparation: Begin by cleansing your space. Light incense or burn sage to clear any stagnant or negative energies from the room. As you do so, take deep, calming breaths, focusing on centering yourself. If you can’t burn use sound or your voice.
Create Your Circle: If you prefer working within a protected space, cast your circle before starting the spell. This can be done by walking clockwise in a circle and visualizing a ring of white or blue light around your working area.
Set the Scene: In a quiet, darkened space, place the mirror and bowl of water on your altar or a flat surface. Add a pinch of sea salt to the water to purify it and place the sprig of rosemary nearby (or drop a few drops of rosemary essential oil into the water).
Light the white candle and set it in front of the bowl and mirror, allowing the flame to reflect in the water and mirror. The light represents truth, and the reflection symbolizes seeing beyond illusions.
Write the Person’s Name: On the small piece of paper, write the name of the person whose intentions you wish to reveal. As you write, focus on this individual, visualizing them clearly in your mind.
Infuse Your Intention: Hold the paper in your hands and whisper: “By candle’s flame and water’s light, Reveal the truth hidden from sight. With clarity and open mind, The hidden path I seek to find. So mote it be!"
Visualize the paper glowing with the energy of your intention, carrying your desire to uncover the truth about this person’s motives.
Place the Paper in the Water: Gently place the paper into the bowl of water, allowing it to float on the surface. Focus on the reflection of the candle’s flame in the water and the mirror, imagining the light piercing through any deception or hidden thoughts.
Close your eyes for a moment and take three deep breaths. As you exhale, let go of any preconceptions or biases you might have about this person. Be open to whatever truth comes forward.
Gazing and Reflection: Open your eyes and gaze into the water and the mirror. Relax your gaze and let your mind become quiet. Watch the flickering reflection of the candle flame and trust that any impressions, feelings, or images that arise are part of the message.
You may receive images, thoughts, or subtle feelings. Trust your intuition as it connects with the energy of the spell.
Ask yourself:
• What do I feel when I think of this person’s intentions?
• Do any images or sensations appear in the water or mirror?
• What energy or emotions are present around this person?
Thanking the Elements: Once you feel you have received the necessary insight, gently thank the elements you have called upon. Extinguish the candle and say: “Thank you, spirits of truth and light, For guiding me with second sight. The truth is known, my path is clear, No more shadows will I fear.”
Close the Circle (Optional): If you cast a circle, now is the time to close it by walking counterclockwise around your space, visualizing the circle of light dissolving.
Record Your Insights: After the spell, take a few moments to write down any insights, images, or feelings that came to you during the ritual. These revelations may come in subtle forms, so it’s essential to reflect on them with an open mind.
Dispose of the Water: Dispose of the water by pouring it outside or into the earth. As you do, say: “What was hidden is now revealed, By water’s flow, the truth is sealed.” Allow the paper to dissolve or burn it safely, symbolizing the release of your question into the universe.
After the Spell: The insights you receive may not be immediate or come in obvious ways. Over the coming days or weeks, pay close attention to dreams, sudden thoughts, or interactions with this person. The spell will begin to manifest, bringing clarity to their intentions, whether through direct communication, actions, or intuitive understanding.
This spell is designed to guide you toward understanding someone’s motives while maintaining the principles of ethical witchcraft. Always approach such spells with caution and respect, using them for clarity and not for manipulation or control. The key is to gain insight, not to force change.
