A Ritual For CreatingHealing Magick

Each evening or morning – or whenever you have time –light your healing candle and hold one of your special crystals and yourcrystal sphere or pendulum and focus on of the names in your book sending thecandlelight reflected though the crystal to wherever it is needed. Thetraditional healing hour is ten o’ clock at night, but what is more importantis that the time is one where you can be quiet and are not pressurised by otherdemands. Begin by holding a healing crystal and focusing the energies throughthe candle flame; you can then extend this ritual for specific healingpurposes.

You will need a photograph, newspaper cutting or symbolof the person, animal or place to which you are sending healing energies.

Take a dish of sacred water and place it near the candle.

Hold the symbol of the person to be healed between yourhands and speak a few words of love and reassurance as though they were withyou. If you have already created for the sick person a herb poppet or sachet,hold that between your hands and repeat the original herb empowerment or sit insilence recreating the ritual in your mind. You can add words of healing asabove. If the object of the healing is a place, such as a lake or woodlandunder threat, imagine that you are in that place.

Circle your crystal pendulum or a pointed healing crystalover the symbol (or sachet or poppet) nine imes widdershins, saying as amantra:

Go, pain and sorrow, change to star or sunbeam,transformed in joy and in tranquility.

Plunge the pendulum into the water and hold it to thelight so the drops of water fall off and scatter as rainbow light beams allaround the symbol. You can also create the light beams by angling your candleor hanging rainbow crystals in your window. It is not cheating, but directingnatural forces for a purpose and infusing physical light beams with spiritualenergies. Mirrors are another good way of reflecting light beams.

Now circle the pendulum nine times deosil over thesymbol, saying:

Sunbeam, star beam, rays of light, replace, restore,renew, rejoice.

Blow out the candle, sending the light to the sick orsorrowing person, saying:

Go, light of healing, radiance of love and friendship, towhere you are needed most this night, with -[name the person, animal orlocation].

May blessings fall, darkness and doubts recede intonothingness. So may it be in the name of all that is good and loving and pure[or 'in the name of the Goddess', if you prefer].

If you are feeling ill, worried or afraid you can go toyour healing place and light the candle, holding your favourite crystal andexpressing softly your needs and fears. However, the more healing you carry outfor others, the more harmony will fall on you under the Threefold Law.

If you are working with friends or in a group, aftershowering it with light beams, pass the symbol round to each person, addingindividual blessings. Give each person a small, white candle to set before themso that they can personally send light and blessings.

The words can be spoken as a joint mantra or chant.
