A self-initiation. Accomplish this task and you may begin to call yourself a witch. For once you have found and acknowledged the Spirit, you have the power to cast a spell.
Don’t worry if you find this spell difficult. Visualization takes practice. It could take weeks to really feel you have transported yourself and opened up your senses to the elements. But it is well worth the perseverance.
Ingredients: an oil burner, 3 drops of lavender oil
Procedure: Sit crossed-legged, hands resting on knees, palms facing upward. Close your eyes.
Breathe in deeply through your nose, then out through your mouth. Do this until you relax and clear your mind of thoughts.
Now imagine yourself alone somewhere beautiful. A mountain. A beach. Woodland. Transport yourself there in your mind.
Ask yourself, what is the weather like? Warm sunshine? A strong breeze? Is it raining? How does this feel on my skin? What can I smell? Salt air? Flowers? Soil? What can I hear? Bird song? Waves? The rustle of trees?
Contemplate the nature of the elements and how fire, earth, water and air all play their part in this environment.
In your own time, return to the oil burner. Consider how each element is represented and how they work together.
Keep breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. When you truly understand, you may lift your arms, palms facing upward, and say:
“I acknowledge the presence of the Spirit. I am its servant and its keeper. I may use its power to do my will, so long as none is harmed and it be the Spirit’s will.”
