This isnt a recipe, but i like how spells can be in rhyme but more its just a poem i guess, maybe it could be a spell or a player to a deity or spirit but i couldnt choose another catagory so it fell into this as closest. Maybe its more an encouragenent to others who may need it…Hope it may helps
Hope and light
There are days that i feel strong
Days that i just make it through
There are days it just feels wrong
And in every turn i loose
Give me hope when hope is gone
Wipe the tears away from my eyes
Help me bring a light to darkness
For everyone at sometime cries
The past may pass, wounds may heal
But the scars dont ever seem to fade
When hope is gone and light is lost
In all the times that you were betrayed
Dont loose faith, hold on tight, someones on their way
A spirit, a deity, whom ever you need
They will come and turn darkness into day
And where hope was lost, they will plant a new seed.
Hope is on its way. So hang in there, you are not alone. So mote it be
I wrote this just now because i was in pain and alone and close to tears but even in my pain, i know there are others needing encouragement so it turned into a message of hope and light from one hurting person to anyone else needing encouragement today or any day.

What a sad, lovely spell. You’ve laid out your pain, offered support, and given hope. You’re a lovely precious girl to put forth this wonderful offering.
Thank you for opening this subject.
Some pain doesn’t ever totally go away. It may fade for a while then one day something triggers the event to repeat itself, in your head. Whether it’s fear, a memory surfacing, or a nightmare.
“Time is the great healer”, is a lie we tell to soothe ourselves. Your wounds will mostly heal.
But anyone who says it will just ‘go away’ is in a sad state of denial. A kind loving support system and counseling will also help.
Violence, failure, injury, and many events are triggers for me. But this isn’t about me.
Time WILL fade most traumas and a loving, supportive community.
Acceptance is an uplifting experience. Feeling safe is an amazing experience.
For those dealing with old issues that haunt them? We, as a group, (read coven) and individuals, are here for you anytime. I am sending much love to those in pain. (And many hugs!)
Each and every one of you are wonderful (and don’t EVER forget it!). You have great worth and such potential as a person. You can do anything you want and become anything you wish. Don’t let a traumatic incident hold you down. Little witch, that’s the wonder of our craft. We, as witches, wear many more hats than the pointy one. Whether you fly an old broom or drive a Ferrari, you get from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’, it’s simple. Don’t over complicate things.
And give yourself a break. We all make mistakes, we’re supposed to. It’s part of the human experience. To live is to learn, to learn is growth and, growth will grow your wings
