Courage Spell

Courage Spell

When you feel you need an edge for that interview .........or meeting someone new for the first time ......or maybe to confront your fears or emotions......try this:

Prepare yourself and decorate your work surface or altar space with all your chosen ingredients such as:

A red cloth
Some honeysuckle or holly
Some jade, bloodstone or malachite crystals
One red taper candle and one white taper candle
an oil burner to which you have added some lavender essential oil and a pinch of black pepper

When you are ready and everything is in place, stand at the edge of your circle. Close your eyes and breathe in, visualising light energy fulling your body. Breathe out and breathe away all negative energy. When you are completely relaxed, stand up and move quietly to the east quarter of your circle or room.

Light the east candle and say:
May the element of air bless this space with light, love and air and grant me courage.

Light the south candle and say:
May the element of fire bless this space with light, love and fire and grant me courage.

Light the west candle and say:
May the element of water bless this space with light, love and water and grant me courage.

Light the north candle and say:
May the element of earth bless this space with light,love and earth and grant me courage.

Move quietly back to your workspace and kneel in front of your table. Light your white altar candle and meditate quietly on the God Bes and the Goddess Lillith asking for courage for the challenge, which lies ahead.
See yourself in triumph as though the victory is already yours and say a prayer in your own words to the Guardian Angel Samael. Light your red candle and standing in front of your altar, raise your hands above your head and say these words:

Courage and strength I possess
Given to me by Lillith and Bes
Samael he blesses me,
So that everyone can see
And it harm none so be it.

Spend some quiet time in your circle and allow your candles to burn through to the end. If you must put your candles out use a candle snuff or pinch the wick between a dampened finger and thumb. When you are finished working move quietly to the left of your circle.

Extinguish the east candle and say:
I thank the element of air for blessing me with courage.

Extinguish the south candle and say:
I thank the element of fire for blessing me with courage.

Extinguish the west candle and say:
I thank the element of water for blessing me with courage.

Extinguish the north candle and say:
I thank the element of earth for blessing me with courage.

Close your circle by saying:

May the four powers give back to the universe any powers and energies that have not been used.
The work is now done and the circle is closed.
So mote it be.

There is no right or wrong way, this is just a guide, do what you feel is right for you. Work on your instincts....... with the right intent it can work! Good luck.
