Mental Clutter, Mental Clarity: A Spell Sachet for Study (altered)
This spell bag can be ideal for a person who is engaging in metaphysical studies. Whether in an occult school, training coven, or other type of structured esoteric program, one can reap particular benefits by creating a charm to aid in the progressive work. Occult information can seem daunting and even incomprehensible if a person is beginning a system of study into new information. Just as the Universe is infinite, the amount of wisdom we can attain is just as limitless. Crafting a bag such as this can help keep the mind focused and inspired, knowing that the endless road of knowledge is being embarked upon.
Supplies:
1 candle each of the colors white, yellow, and orange
benzoin or storax incense resin
an incense-burning charcoal disk and sand in a dish dish or censor
1 small square of aluminum foil
an orange permanent marker
an orange drawstring sachet bag
1 stone each of citrine, turquoise, and moonstone
8 black-eyed peas (blackeye beans) or yellow-eyed beans
any combination of the herbs caraway, cinnamon, clove, dill, eye bright, gingko, jasmine, peppermint, rosemary, sage, spearmint, thistle (milk or blessed), vervain, and white horehound
Procedure:
Begin by casting a circle, calling the quarters, chanting, or raising energy as you normally would, performing protective exercises, and altering your consciousness. Clear your mind, bring focus to your breath, and meditate for at least a few minutes. when ready, begin the spell. Ignite the candles and benzoin incense. Once the incense is billowing, face the east. Raise your arms above you, close your eyes, and bellow:
"Spirits of study-hear me now!
Mercury and the Muses!
Those of thought, mind, and intellect!
Spirits of Air and will,
aid me in my working.
Venerated keepers of the mental plane,
assist in all of my studies hereon forth."
Grab the aluminum foil and marker. On one side, draw symbol the Air symbol. On the other, draw the symbol for Mercury. Fold this three times and place in the bag.
Next, add the stones. While adding the turquoise, say:
"Mercury bear witness. Fill this bag, that it may radiate with knowledge..."
Add the citrine, saying:
"... through all my days..."
Add the moonstone, saying:
"... and all my nights."
Slowly add the 8 black-eyed peas one by one. While doing this, think about your studies. Imagine yourself understanding all of the information you're presented, and see yourself succeeding in your chosen area of study.
To top off the bag, add the mixture of herbs. When finished, tie the bag and hold it to the incense smoke. Say 8 times:
"Now enchanted, this charm is mine,
I carry wisdom through all time.
From the ears into the mind,
There is no knowledge I cannot find.
So mote it be."
Thank Mercury and any other spirits present, and open the circle as you normally would.
Note:
It's a good idea to keep this bag close to you as much as possible If you take a book bag to school, stick it in there; if you do most of your work at home on the computer, place it nearby
