@Durga

Hope it helps some - remember it is only a guideline and not gospel.

Thank you for that @Durga! That will be very useful!

@walter I think you are doing just fine! Any adaptations that you make are what’s right for you. I use the top of my dresser as my altar and it changes almost daily. So do what works for you and as long as your intentions are clear, I believe that you will manifest what you are looking for just fine.

[walter]

Thank you @Susurrus. Get a little confused sometimes . I plan Everything in my head but worry I forget procedures. I guess I over-think it too! Plus constantly looking at my phone for notes. Especially when casting the circle or calling the quarters. Is there a video on Spell8 for casting the circle and calling the quarters? I read a forum which I found. However, I’m more a visual learner and do better with videos and by doing.

Thank you!

[walter]

Thank you @christina4. Great to know.

[Susurrus]

I believe there is a video cast along for some of these things, you would find them in the courses I believe. I would look through the Wicca Self Initiation courses or @Francisco may be able to point you directly to them. I am not a visual learner. I need to read or write them down so my Book of Shadows is very full. I like to read through it, I doubt that I will be memorize much of it because I have cognitive and memory issues, but that’s why I like to have them in there so I know right where to look. I do use the videos at times for different things, but mostly I print things out or write them down.

@walter

Is there a video on Spell8 for casting the circle and calling the quarters?

There are several videos that may help you but none that’s actually just a circle casting and calling the quarters. I’ll work on that!

Meanwhile, these may be useful:

• The Amulet Consecration video has a ritual that involves calling the quarters and will give you an idea.

• The Witches Music video has step-by-step (text-only) instructions for casting a circle and calling the quarters in a simplified way.

• The Circle of Protection spell video is a guided visualization for creating a sacred space with no tools

And these are the Forum topics you mentioned but adding them just in case:

• Difference between Sacred Circle and Circle of Protection
• Circle Casting Gone Wrong?
• How to Cast a Quick and Easy Circle
• Calling the Quarters

Hi everyone

For the Full Corn Moon, I also followed the ritual and spell for abundance, and made a little jar. It was actually my first time filling a jar and sealing it with wax, so it was lots of fun!

I had an important exam the day after the Full Moon - and have another one coming up probably at the end of the month - so I didn’t focus so much on prosperity as in money while doing the spell, but more as in achieving my goals and being successful. I added the following to the jar:

• salt for protection

• seven coins (1 cent)

• oats (stealing food from my horses )

• thyme, rue, and cloves for prosperity

• dried sunflowers and peony’s for good fortune and luck

I will admit though that sealing the jar with wax was definitely a bit messy I just used the green candle I had lit on my altar to drip wax on the jar, and while that was very satisfying, wax most certainly also landed elsewhere

[Amethyst]

Looking great @christine4! That looks nice!

[Rowan]

Lovely to see another over-thinker! Your intentions seem intact, colors of the candles, little trick I did when I didn’t have them, mindset. See the color you need. Or color a small piece of paper with that color and place it near or under the candle.
Breathe, it’s your practice, do it your way.

[walter]

@francisco, Thanks Francisco, yes I saw them already and used their information…

[walter]

@Rowan, that’s for advice! That’s a great idea! Thank you!

[walter]

@christina4, looks great! Awesome job!

[christina4]

Beautiful jar​:bouquet: oh yeah, wax dripping is fun! I put my jar in a glass bowl and melted wax to set the candle in place on top of the jar. I had a small candle but I ordered more. You did a great job!

[christina4]

Learning is part of the practice. I still look at notes! Nothing wrong with that. And I’m a visual learner too. Half the time, I read things a couple times but I like when @Francisco casts along for us.

@walter

I was able to do the Corn Moon ritual tonight. However, I could not find the different color candles for the make shift altar.

You had a lovely set-up, @walter! As others have mentioned, it is perfectly fine to substitute materials for what you have on hand . It sounds like the most important aspect of any spell or ritual- your intent!- was on point,and the fact that you felt strong energy during the ritual is a very good sign! Brawo on your moon ritual- enjoy the blessings of the Full Corn Moon!

@christine4

I had an important exam the day after the Full Moon - and have another one coming up probably at the end of the month

It sounds like you had a fun (even if slightly messy! ) full moon ritual, @christine4! I hope the previous exam went well, and sending good thoughts for your upcoming exam later this month! May your ritual jar bring you an abundance of success

@BryWisteria, thank you ! Was great to have participated! Even though was a rocky start! I actually completed it on Wednesday at around 4-5 am. Only left the jar out in the moonlight for about an hour. I hope that was ok? My home cleansing and my shower Ritual lasted longer than I anticipated before I sat down for the ritual. However, the moon was right outside my window as I performed the ritual. It kept going in and out of the clouds. I was surprised it was actually still pretty high up in the sky for being so late. Normally at that time it’s much lower and harder for me to see out of my window, unless I go outside.

Blessed be.

I used to do wax dripping over bottles and with all kinds of different colors. I always thought it was so interesting how far the drips would go down and the designs the different colors would make. I didn’t even think to use it to seal the jar, that’s a great idea! Maybe next time if I remember. I’m having memory issues right now that we are working on with my doctors.

I’d suggest toss out the rule book and listen to your intuition remember your the magick everything else is just stuff. Your intention ultimately is what’s doing it. I do get it though as sometimes I get caught up in the details and I can be a perfectionist but doesn’t serve any higher purpose so now I don’t put pressure on myself. Law of attraction if you believe it’s working then it’s working

Blessed be darling
Lots of love from down Under

@kira-marie that’s the spirit!

One hour? Five? 20 minutes? 3 days? Did you ask the Moon to bless it? Yes. Then you did well!
