Laurel Reufner's Shadows in Light


 
 

Here are some things from my Book of Shadows that I thought might be worth sharing. Much of this I developed on my own and so it reflects my needs and tastes. I think that's the key to ritual and spell work: it must connect to what you feel. If you use a component that you don't connect to the desired intent, then it'll lack the umph you were probably hoping for.

"You'll be a man my son..." - a poem by Kipling that a friend once sent me as a spirit lifter.

Desiderata - a message written in the late 1600's,  the Desiderata contains a wonderful philosophy for approaching life.

Principles of Belief - this is the beginnings of a statement of faith, which I'm still working on.

Stone Cleanse and Clear - a simple ritual for clearing unwanted energies from stones.

Protection Sachet - a simple protection spell using herbs, stones, and a small blue bag.

Medicinal Herbs and Pregnancy  - This is a list of what herbs are good or bad during pregnancy. Please use caution with this stuff. I'm merely an information source, not a trained herbalist or medical practitioner.

Correspondence Charts:

             Color - I probably use this method the most.
             Herbal - which herbs work best for a given intent.
             Stones - these are organized by stone and by intent.

Creating Your Own Correspondence Charts - this is exactly what it sounds like. Here's the method I used to come up with my own charts.
