Knots
Jet and amber, crystallized botanical material rather than true minerals, work well in partnership. Beware of plastic replications of both.
For sleep, cast a circle around your bed with alternating pieces of jet and amber.
Alternatively, you can use a necklace. A necklace is just a circle cast around one’s self. Create a necklace from alternating amber and jet beads, focusing on your desire for peaceful, restful, healing sleep. Create as many knots as possible, tying your intentions into each knot. Wear your necklace to sleep.

This healing spell is best performed on a Monday.
Here’s what you need:
- a picture (or item) of the sick person
- a golden wish cord, yellow rope or ribbon
Hold the cord over the picture (or item) and say the following, tying a knot in the cord with each phrase:
With knot of one, my spell’s begun
With knot of two my word is true,
With knot of three, I bring healing to thee,
By knot of four, you’re better than before,
By knot of five you are no longer sick,
By knot of six this spell’s alive,
Seventh knot sealed, you are healed
Tie one last knot as you say:
“So mote it be”
Now, burn the knotted cord to release the magick.

The Lemuria, is an ancient Roman festival in honor of the Lemures, the spirits of dead family members who wander the earth on these three spring nights (May 9, 11, and 13). This is a banishing ritual to ensure that no bad energy and no angry or hungry ghosts can hang around. A simple version can be found here: The Lemuria.
Note: While this ritual is specific to The Lemuria, I see no reason why it cannot be used anytime this type of banishing is needed.
- Colors: Black and grey
- Element: Air
- Offerings: None. This is a banishing. All carry cymbals, drums, or noisemakers.
- Daily Meal: Goat meat. Beans.
Altar:
Upon cloth of black and grey set a bowl of beans, nine black candles, a brazier with incense of agrimony and rue, a bottle of good wine, a bowl of clean spring water, a knotted rope, a bowl of asafoetida, and a skull.
Lemuria Invocation
(First the one who has been chosen to do the work of the ritual stands forth, takes the knotted rope from the altar, and unknots it, and throws it into the brazier.)
Call:
Shades of those who have gone before us!
Ghosts and demons, inside us and outside,
Hear us!
Response:
We cast you out!
We drive you before us!
Call:
Begone from house and hearth,
Begone from mind and heart,
Begone from roost and stall,
Begone from field and garden,
Begone from path and road,
Begone from all places
Where you might harry us!
We scatter you before us on the wind!
Response:
We cast you out!
We drive you before us!
(The officiant makes the sign of the ficus towards the west, and all follow in turn. Then the officiant washes their hands in the clear spring water, and brings the bowl to all, who wash in turn. The water is poured out in the libation well. Then the beans are passed around, and all take a handful or a mouthful. Each spits or throws the beans in a different direction.)
Call:
Hace ego mitto,
his redime meque meosque fabis!
Response:
Manes exite paterni!
Manes exite paterni!
Manes exite paterni!
(All walk through the house and around the boundaries of the property, clashing cymbals and beating drums and making noise to drive away all evil spirits. This ritual repeats for three days, only on odd-numbered days, which are luckier than even-numbered days.)
