Preparation
- Cleanse the Space: Begin by cleansing your sacred space with the smoke from burning sage or incense. Move in a clockwise direction, allowing the smoke to purify the area.
- Set Up the Altar: Place the candles at the four corners of your sacred circle. Arrange the herbs, salt, water, oil, and crystals on a small altar or a clean surface within the circle.
- Create the Circle: Stand at the edge of your space and slowly walk clockwise, visualizing a protective barrier forming as you create the circle. Scatter salt or draw a line with chalk as you walk.
Invocation
Step 1: Light the Candles
- Light the white candle (Air) and say: “I call upon the spirits of Air, guardians of the East. Bless this space with clarity and inspiration.”
- Light the blue candle (Water) and say: “I call upon the spirits of Water, guardians of the West. Bless this space with intuition and healing.”
- Light the red candle (Fire) and say: “I call upon the spirits of Fire, guardians of the South. Bless this space with transformation and courage.”
- Light the green candle (Earth) and say: “I call upon the spirits of Earth, guardians of the North. Bless this space with stability and protection.”
Step 2: Purification and Anointing
- Mix the salt into the water and sprinkle it around your sacred space, saying: “I purify this space with the sacred elements of Earth and Water.”
- Pass your crystals and gemstones through the incense smoke, saying: “I purify these stones with the sacred element of Air.”
- Pass your crystals and gemstones through the flame of the red candle (briefly and carefully), saying: “I purify these stones with the sacred element of Fire.”
- Anoint your crystals and gemstones with the oil, saying: “I consecrate these stones with the sacred element of Spirit.”
Step 3: Charge the Crystals and Gemstones
- Hold the crystals and gemstones in your hands and focus on your intention. Begin chanting:
“Crystals bright, of ancient lore,
By sacred rite, your power restore.
Air and Water, Fire and Earth,
I charge thee now, with all my worth.
Gemstones of magic, light, and might,
Guide my hand, in day and night.
Amethyst, quartz, citrine, and more,
Unlock your power, I implore.
With herbs and oil, and flame so pure,
In your depths, magic endure.
By magic’s flow, and spirit’s light,
I seal this spell, this sacred rite.”
- Visualize a brilliant light surrounding your crystals and gemstones, filling them with power and purpose. See the energy of the elements and your own intent merging into the stones.
Closing the Spell
- Express Gratitude: Once you feel the ritual is complete, thank the spirits and the elements for their presence and guidance. Say: “Thank you, spirits of Air, Water, Fire, and Earth. Your blessings and protection are received with gratitude.”
- Extinguish the Candles: Extinguish each candle in reverse order (green, red, blue, white) as you release the elements back to their realms.
- Close the Circle: Walk counterclockwise around your circle, visualizing the protective barrier dissolving. Scatter any remaining salt or chalk outside as a final act of grounding.
Aftercare
- Reflect and Record: Take time to reflect on any insights or experiences you had during the spell. Write them down in a journal for future reference.
- Care for the Offering: Dispose of the offering in a respectful manner, such as burying it or placing it in nature.
- Grounding: Spend a few moments grounding yourself, either by eating a small snack or by connecting with nature, to ensure you are fully present and balanced.
