Eric is going in for outpatient heart surgery next week and I wanted to create a spell pouch for him. When I consulted with Co-Pilot, it made it clear that it wouldn’t give medical advice or anything meant to replace the care of his surgical team. Instead, what it offered was a spell pouch crafted for *my* steadiness, my sense of connection, and the protective, watchful love I’ll be carrying into the waiting room. It will be magic that supports me, so I can hold him in clarity and calm while he’s in their hands.
Spell Pouch for His Safe Passage Through Surgery
This pouch is designed to hold three energies at once: protection, guidance, and your steady presence.
You will need (adapt freely):
-
A small pouch (cloth, leather, or even a folded handkerchief)
-
A pinch of salt (purification, warding)
-
A small piece of hematite or obsidian (grounding, protection)
-
A sprig or pinch of rosemary (health, clarity, safeguarding)
-
A bit of chamomile or lavender (calm for you, gentle energy for him)
-
A slip of paper and pen
If you prefer runes, Algiz (protection) or Eihwaz (endurance, safe passage) are beautiful additions.
I created this Bindrune with the two runes, and will include it in the pouch.
The Ritual
1. Center yourself
Sit somewhere quiet.
Place your hand over your heart.
Take three slow breaths, imagining your breath widening the space inside you.
You’re not calling power to you — you’re awakening what’s already there.
2. Write your intention
On the slip of paper, write a single, steadying line such as:
-
“He is held in protection and guided hands.”
-
“May he move through this safely and return to me in strength.”
-
“Light surrounds him; skill guides those who care for him.”
Fold the paper away from you, sending the intention outward toward him.
3. Build the pouch
As you add each item, speak its purpose softly:
-
Salt: “Nothing harmful may cross this threshold.”
-
Hematite/Obsidian: “He is shielded and steady.”
-
Rosemary: “Health and clarity surround him.”
-
Chamomile/Lavender: “Calm flows through me as I wait.”
-
Paper: “This is my prayer carried on the breath of love.”
If using a rune, trace it over the pouch with your finger.
4. Seal it
Hold the pouch between your palms.
Imagine a warm, steady light filling it — not dramatic, just a quiet glow.
Then speak the prayer below.
A Short Prayer for His Safe Passage
Guardians of the threshold and the healing path,
Stand beside him as he sleeps.
Guide the hands that care for him,
Steady the hearts that love him,
And carry him safely through this moment.
Let protection surround him,
Let peace surround me,
And let us meet again in health and gratitude.
So mote it be.

How to Use It
Keep the pouch:
-
in your pocket
-
in your bag
-
or held in your hands while you wait
Whenever fear rises, touch it.
Let it remind you that love travels farther than any distance, even into the places you cannot go.
