Autumn Healing Spell

by Silver Ravenwolf;
Halloween

You can prepare this lovely spell container by working
magick as a group, or as an individual working alone. You will need one dried,
hollowed out gourd. Cut off the top. Place a picture of the person who needs
healing energy in the gourd. If you already have a lot of magickal supplies
(herbs, powders, oils, gems, etc.) sit quietly and think about the person.

Ask your patron God or Goddess (or totem animal/guardian
angel) to lead you in the right direction for what should be included in the
healing gourd. Fill the gourd with empowered items thinking about the health of
the individual. Add a few things that will make noise if you shake the gourd.
When you are finished, seal the gourd by gluing the top back on.

Paint the person's name on the gourd along with any magickal
symbols or sigils that matches the individual's personality. If you don't have
magickal supplies, you might want to get out your copy of Scott Cunningham's
Encyclopedia of Herbs. Tie dried flowers, herbs, charms, and amulets to a
rawhide cord or silk cord around the neck of the gourd. When you give the gourd
as a gift, shake it while you hand it to the person to activate the magick.

Here are some of the items you can put in your gourds:

1. A picture of the person.

2. Rosemary - banishing negativity, healing. (dried)

3. Orange Peel - success. (dried)

4. Basil - helps herbs and items work in tandem.

5. One rose petal - love.

6. One penny (from each person working on the healing).

7. One cowry shell (clear vision.)

8. Cloves (protection).

9. Cinnamon (success).

10. Goddess statue or charm for each gourd.

11. Amber and jet beads for those who reached the rank of
HPS.

12. Three drops of healing oil.

13. Three drops of success oil.

14. Three crystals.

You don't have to use these exact ingredients. They are only
listed here to give you and idea of what can be used. A bit of Orris Root will
help the herbs retain their aroma.

Autumn: The Croning Time

Autumn: The Croning Time

By Lady AbigailHigh
Priestess Ravensgrove CovenGreenfield, IN area Copyright © 01102009Source:
Celtic Whispers E-zine

Spirited away, my energy gently glides above the tree tops
like a down feather blown within the circling wind. Below, I see the quilted
workings of Mother Earth in the patches of green grass, freshly plowed ground and
fields of grain ready now for the harvest. The air is sweet and cool as it
moves round my body and delights me like loving whispers of voices unknown.
Faeries dance on wing; their joyous laughter calling my spirit ever on.
Reaching down, I try to grasp a bright purple leaf from atop the sugar maple.
As my energy moves within the magickal moment, I feel the sun warming me as it
moves through the essences of my being, giving glimmers of what possibilities
lie just beyond... And then, in a sound, a spark of light, the cracking of a
twig, I find myself laying atop the freshly cut hay ready for baling.

Yet looking down I find within my hand the big and beautiful
purple leaf from the top of the old sugar maple. Did I pick it up in my dreams
or from under the tree? In my heart I shall always believe it came within that
veil of magick just between dreams and what others call reality.I always looked
forward to sharing my adventures with my Great Grandmother. She, in her wisdom,
would listen to each of my quests with attentive wonder and delight. It didn't
matter if they were ones of my chasing a frog down the creek bank for a few
short and muddy hours, or those that carried me above the tree tops and into
the veils of magick and possibility. She was there for me, smiling and
teaching; teaching me many lessons I still remember even today.

Now that Autumn is here and Samhain is quickly approaching,
I cannot help but remember the magick I felt and still feel today in this time
of changing. The energy seems to rise within my spirit, as it sparks and dances
across the essence of my soul. It touches me in memories and stories shared as
my Great Grandmother would teach the old ways and the understanding of the
Seasons of Life. In this, I again feel I can soar above the tree tops in the
arms of Autumn.

Fall is more than a season or that time of transition from
summer to winter. Fall is what my Great Grandmother called the "Croning Time;"
that time where the giving of life moves to the teaching of life within wisdom,
no longer giving birth to new life, but nurturing all that is life and all that
life brings.

Autumn is the "Spirit Goddess of the Changing." She is
guardian of the Croning Time." Autumn in Her feminine form, is welcoming us
unto Her as She, in wisdom, changes to the Crone. Autumn is a Grandmother
Goddess and a keeper of the Cauldron of Life. She is wise with great knowledge
and the understanding which has grown within and of her experiences. Proud and
strong, She dresses in the glorious colors of all that She is and shall be
again.

As the Great Crone, Autumn, welcomes us with understanding
of our own personal changes within the seasons that are life. She teaches us
that Fall, as the Croning Time, is a time of celebration and joy. As we
celebrate the seasons and ourselves, we find the wisdom within to see the
beauty held in all the colors that make life the magick that it truly is.

Today in the eternal goal of everlasting youth, we find
disgrace in and hide the changes of our personal seasons of life. Wrinkles are
no longer seen as the lines of knowledge and understanding from the roads in
life we have traveled and conquered. Now they are marks of shame for what
nature brings us. We fight and pull and dug until sometimes, we can not even
recognize the reflection looking back at us in the mirror.

Graying hair is no longer a crown of wisdom, but a symbol of
old age to be hidden. Age is no longer held as a destination of honor but is
approached with the fear that we will be cast away, unimportant and forgotten.
For our society finds it easier to lock away the wisdom of the aged behind
closed doors than to seek the secrets held within. Perhaps age causes us dread
because it uncovers within what our emotions fear. For when we are faced with
those aged by life it reminds us each of the approach of inevitable death.
Death no longer being a new beginning but the end of what was.

Autumn, as the Great Crone reminds us, that time life and
death are but a thought, a moment flashing past eternity. Not to be feared but
each to be relished and enjoyed. For as with the seasons, each holds it on
gifts. Spring, Her excitement of the possibilities of the magick life holds
anew. Summer, Her knowledge growing as She gives birth to new beginnings and
eternal hope. Autumn, in Her wisdom and beauty reminds us of all that we have
and all we have to give. Winter, wraps us in Her soft blanket of white that we
might rest within the arms of Mother Earth to be reborn again in Spring. For
this time shall come again as time circles forward in the Great Wheel of Life.

For thousands of years, women of wisdom and age were
honored, valued and revered as the Elder Women. Autumn, as the Spirit Goddess
of the Changing, is also the guardian of the Croning Time. Dressed in Her
radiant colors, She reminds us of the respect held by those who are entering
The Croning Time. Autumn allows us to reclaim our identity and status of the
ancients, as Crones and Elders. We are coming of age; accessing our wisdom and
acting upon it. Croning is the process of becoming active wise women.

Croning can begin at any age and is particularly relevant
for women 45 and older. Yet, even men can become Crones within their on
understandings of this passage. Personal experiences of aging provide the
understanding of your path within this Time of Changing. It is up to us to
decide how the circumstances of life transform us and move us forward.

We can no more hold back time and aging than we can stop the
Great Wheel as it moves forward in its seasons. Perhaps the reason we all find
such a joyous renewal in the energy of fall is the power that Autumn gives us
over the fear of change, in both life and death. Change should not be feared
but celebrated, for life has given us another year of wonder, magick and
beauty. My Great Grandmother opened my eyes to the magick of the seasons. She
walked with me as I found the Goddess all around me, dressed in Her bright and
fiery colors of reds, oranges, purples, and gold's. When I became tired, she
encouraged me to walk forward on the hillsides and watch the morning rise as
the glistening dew gave a kaleidoscope of color on the leaves. When I became
weak, she would carry me until I could once more hear the sweet mystical voice
flowing in the breeze that would renew my spirit.

Autumn is the Croning Time, a time of magick, a time for
renewal of spirit. As you experience the mysterious energy of this mystical
season, allow the child within you to replenish your soul . . . and again look
to the tree tops in their beauty and touch the veils beyond. Now I am the
Crone, proud to teach those within my life in honor to my Great Grandmother.
Let the magick of the Season truly touch your spirit as you walk forward in the
colors of life.
