An Orange Peel Spell to Stop Gossip
Take eight orange peels and place four whole cloves lengthwise in each. String these together, four to a string, keeping them in place with a knot under each. As you secure each knot speak purposefully: "Gossip I bind, the truth will be mine. I gather them both with each knot that I wind."
Hang the strands in a southern window. At this point include a small prayer such as "With the light at my sill, let all hearsay be stilled." Add small silver bells blessed for protection to the bottom of the strings. They will warn you when gossip starts circulating again. In finished form the fruit strands act like a wind chime and air refresher.
Halting misinformation, rumors, and slander. Getting to the truth of a matter.
November, December, and January. Waning moons. When the moon is in Libra or Virgo. Tuesday or Sunday (to illuminate untruths).
From a religious standpoint, spells are a means of communicating with deity.
They are prayers to the God and Goddess, to the One, to Spirit, or whatever
form deity takes to each person. From a practical standpoint, spells are a
proven way to manipulate psychic energy to work for specific purposes as
outlined in the details of the particular spell. Like recipes, they are exchanged
and altered to suit the taste of each person who utilizes them. They are
colored by the personalities of the people who work them. Spells can take
many forms; some spells are simply thoughts and meditations. Other magic
spells, like the ones provided here, have many ingredients in them that allow
the practitioner to ease into the mindset of the spell and focus energy on the
desired outcome. The magic of the spell is enhanced and supported by the
physical actions taken, words spoken, herbs carried, incense burned, candles
lit, and many other methods used by Witches to reinforce their Wills.
The stereotype of Witches cursing or hexing people evolved out of fear of
the unknown, and the negative connotations associated with spellcasting
have been perpetuated by religious groups and movies depicting Witches as
evil, devil worshiping, malevolent magic makers. Spells are not necessarily
"Good" or "Evil" in nature. Spells are what you make them! Don't be fooled
by the name of a spell: a "Love Spell" that forces the emotion on an unwilling
person is manipulative, and will surely backfire. The Karmic Rule applies:
spells worked with the permission of everyone involved and for the good of
all bring benefits, while spells of a manipulative nature bring the invested
intent into the life of the person who sought to cause the harm. Love spells,
while seemingly harmless, can actually bend the will of the target. How would
you feel if you were forced to do something against your Will? We advise
that you keep this in mind before attempting manipulative magic on anyone.
