Bay Leaf Ritual for the New YearWritten by Sam Stevens
Continued from page 1 Place cheque you wrote to yourself under dish. Light candle and say: "In name of I Am that I Am I pray to Archangels and their legions of light, I pray to blessed Virgin and her angels of compassion for following assistance and blessings" Now open package of bay leaves. There are two ways of doing this spell -- in a really BIG way or in a more efficient manner. It depends how much time you have. When I did this on my birthday I used 108 bay leaves (or fragments of leaves because sometimes they crumble in package) but you can use less if you like. I used 108 because it is a real magic number, but you can just do as many bay leaves as you can. As candle burns and incense is burning too, I want you to write on each bay leaf, a single word that represents each thing you would like to happen in near future. For instance, if you are looking for immigration status thing write word "Citizenship" on bay leaf. If you owe dentist money write, "dentist bill paid". If you would like a lover to return write "lover returns". Each leaf has a wish written on it. On leaf after write "high paying job", on next one "safety", "security", "soulmate"... Place leaves in a circle around candle in shape of wreathe so that it looks pretty and keep on doing this until you are all wished out. Your candle should be circled by bay leaves each with a wish written on it. This usually takes most people quite a while, and before they know it, candle has burned down.If you finish writing leaves early that is ok too, keep burning candle down to bottom (so don't get a candle that is too big.) After you have written a wish too, it helps if you "let go of it" and resign your self to fact that higher powers are taking care of it. After you are done writing all of your wishes, I want you to say: "I consider this done in this hour, in full power according to will of God, helping all and harming none Amen." After candle burns out, I want you to take leaves and cheque and put them in an envelope. Seal envelope, wrap it with a nice ribbon, kiss it and put it in a safe place. Don't look at this again for a year. Just rest assure that all is unfolding in Universe as it should. Blessings to all of you this New Year. xxx Samantha
