Wind
Begin with a 4 inch by 4 inch yellow swatch of cloth. Inside the cloth, place a piece of bloodstone and loadstone to attract the energies you most want and need. Add some dried onion and garlic (about 1 teaspoon of each); the powerful aroma and taste of these items is associated with similarly strong vibrations.
When you’ve gathered everything, put your hands palms down over all the items. Visualize a reddish-yellow light pouring from your palms into the entire assembly and add this incantation:
Stones so firm, stones keep me strong
Maintain this power where it belongs.
Garlic and onion hold me steady and sure
Keep the magick flowing and pure.
And when released into the winds
By my will, this spell begins.
Carry the pouch with you when you feel your inner resolve waning. When you need strength quickly take a pinch of garlic and onion and release it to the winds (you can also recite the incantation again to support your goal), When you get close to the bottom of the bundle, refill and bless it anew.
Hang up a bell with a pleasant ring in a window which remains open for a good part of each day, and through which the wind blows (preferably the West Wind).
As you do so, speak these words:
Little bell of love, I hang you to whisper
my need for love on the breezes and winds.
Little bell of love, speak of my need for love
to your brothers and sisters.
Little bell of love, I ask you to speak softly
and draw to me someone who listens.
Every time the bell rings, it is “whispering” of your need for love. (The brothers and sisters are other bells who will add their own power to the spell.)
Note: You can also use wind chimes with bells (as in the image), and simply change the words to “bells” instead of “bell.” And if you have wind chimes but no bells, the words can be changed to “chimes.”
From Earth Power
On a sturdy, preferably dead, bush or shrub still planted in the ground, in a place where the winds blow clear and free, tie or push onto the tip of a branch or twig one leaf for every one of the ills that is bothering you. If you tie the leaf, do so loosely and use a natural fiber cord.
This is all you have to do, for the North Wind will rise and, perhaps slowly, untie and free the leaves, thereby releasing energy and going to work to alleviate the ills besetting you.
This spell works over a period of days or even weeks, not minutes, so leave the shrub after performing the spell. If you wait and watch, the wind might never rise. Of course, it gives you a head start to perform this work during a stiff North breeze.

This is a spell to assist if someone is bothering you or if you have a strong, unfulfilled desire. To begin, make sure there is a slight breeze blowing. Light a yellow jar candle and take a few minutes to meditate on your desire or problem.
Open the window and whisper your problem or desire, asking the angel of the east to hear and respond. Let the wind carry your words to the east. It is particularly auspicious if an East Wind happens to be blowing. Burn the candle down whenever you are home until it is burned out.
An answer should come to you within one Moon cycle.
Many spells and rituals can be prefaced with an invocation to the winds. This is particularly true if you are often working with the winds.
The idea of invoking or calling the winds is an ancient one, dating back to at least classical Greece and certainly earlier. It is not only a summons of their power (all four winds to help your spell) but is also a general announcement to them of your intentions. This is made, in effect, to the entire world.
Summoning the powers of the winds and asking for their help is a great way to begin any spell. Here’s the technique:
Once you have assembled everything you need for the spell in the place you are performing it (preferably outside), turn to each direction in turn, and say something like the following:
Winds of the North!
Rushing and Mighty!
Aid me in my magical work!
Winds of the East!
Dazzling and Bright!
Aid me in my magical work!
Winds of the South!
Fiery and radiant!
Aid me in my magical work!
Winds of the west!
Gentle and buoyant!
Aid me in my magical work!
As you call the wind from each of the four quarters, stand for a moment. Feel that wind (if only in your imagination) blowing from that direction, roused by your magical call, gathering in speed as it rushes toward you with awesome force. Now proceed with the spell, secure that the ancient powers of the four winds are aiding your magic.
Working with one wind:
If you are performing a spell suited to one wind, just before you begin turn to the appropriate direction and say the words associated with it above.
From: Earth Power
There are many spells designed to carry a secret wish into the universe when the productive powers of creation can bring its realization into being. Nearly all spells make use of the tremendously powerful process of creative visualization.
The following spell courts the favor of the 4 winds or the energies of the compass points. For this spell you will need to ascertain North then find South, East and West.
The 4 winds were given magical names by the ancient Greeks – Boreas, Eureus, Notus and Zephyrus – it is these forces together with those of the elemental spirits of air, water, fire and earth, that are called upon in the spell to carry your wish to the four points of the universe. (Read more about them here: Anemoi)
The spell is designed to be performed outside and you will require any one of the following powdered herbs:
- Bay, also known as bay laurel (for success and prestige wishes)
- Rosemary (for promotion and advancement wishes)
- Cinnamon (for power wishes)
- Vervain (verbena) (for general wishes)
- Cardamon (for love wishes)
- Peppermint (for prosperity wishes)
Having chosen the appropriate herb hold it in your hands and visualize the achievement of your goal in fine detail. Hold the herb to your mouth and breathe upon it trying to force the wish through your breath into the very structure of the herb.
When you are satisfied, turn to the North and say:
King Boreas of the North Wind,
by the powers of earth,
I call you to carry my wish to the Northern quarter,
and by the powers of the gnomes,
I ask that you bring me success.
Blow a quarter of the powdered herb from your palm in the direction of North. Now, turn to the East and say:
King Eureus of the East Wind,
by the powers of air,
I call you to carry my wish to the Eastern quarter,
and by the powers of the sylphs,
I ask that you bring me success.
Blow a quarter of the powdered herb from your palm in the direction of the East. Then, turn to the South and say:
King Notus of the South Wind,
by the powers of fire,
I call you to carry my wish to the Southern quarter,
and by the powers of the salamanders,
I ask that you bring me success.
Blow a quarter of the powdered herb in the direction of South. Now, turn to the West and say:
King Zephyrus of the West Wind,
by the powers of water,
I call you to carry my wish to the Western quarter,
and by the powers of the undines,
I ask that you bring me success.
Blow the final quarter of herb from your palm in the direction of West. The spell is ended. Leave the area without looking back, safe in the knowledge that the powers of the universe have taken over your wish.

Invocation to the North Wind
Breathe in!
Breathe in the wind of the North,
Cold and chill,
Ice-flecked wind that brings
The order for all life to sleep,
Forcing closed our tired eyes,
Wind that sweeps down from the poles,
Wind that sweeps away our resistance,
Wind that invites us to lie down
And embrace the darkness,
Whistling wind that comes in
Through the cracks and chinks
Of our fears and longings,
Breath of winter, wind that strokes the starry skies
Over the dead fields, and calls to us
With sere and weathered voice,
Black wind of night that cuts us
Like the razor-edged knife,
Have mercy on us!
Breathe in
And cleanse your body yet again.
Chant:
Boreas Boreas Breath of the North
Wind of knives
Wind chimes and bells are rung. Wine is poured as a libation. All process outside and release messages on small curls of paper into the north wind.
