In the natural magic calendar, the spring festival is aligned with the spring equinox, around March 21st, called Imbolc. It is the day in spring when the nights and days are the exact same length. The original "Easter" festival was related to Oestara, the goddess of dawn, Eos in Greek and the much older Babylonian Ishtar, the goddess of sex, war and fertility. The Christians liked to assimilate the existing festivals and now we have Easter, but the traditional magic of  giving each other eggs is bigger today than ever; and of course, we all know what bunnies are particularly well known for! Here are some ideas for energy magic spells for Easter, including the rather fabulous Easter Bunch or Osterstrauch tradition which is excellent for families and a great magic exercise for kids.

We have a leap year this year and someone requested a Leap Year Spell for February 29th. This was an interesting experience and a good exercise in how to create magic spells and rituals in the first place, original spells that belong to you, that come from you and therefore, have a much better chance to work for you. So here's my leap year spell; you can use it or just use it for inspiration to create a leap year spell of your own.

August 8th at 8pm is the World Energy Awareness Event. It is a global effort by energists around the world to work their magic at the energy levels to have more people awaken to the fact that there is energy, there is magic in the world, and that far from being Satanic in some bizarre way, it is not only completely natural and right, but also essential to learn, understand and study the energy worlds as a proper human being who lives life in accordance to the laws of the Universal Creative Order.

You can find out more about WEAE here: http://energy888.org and now, here are 3 Spells For The World to choose from: A Simple Wand Spell - Simple Pendulum Spell - Simple Fire Spell (also good for groups).

Summer Solstice this year is on June 21st at 17.16 GMT. That's the moment when the sun stands still and listens - and a perfect moment for a special spell. Now in all magical workings from the dawn of time, the Sun has had a special place as the single most powerful physical existence in our lives. Sun magic, one might say, is therefore the most powerful form of magic if you want to make changes in the material world. Which is why Hitler adopted the Sun rune (aka the swastika) as the symbol for his party ... and material changes they made ...

Please Note: You can do this spell at any time the sun is shining, all year round!

Stress is a big deal and very dangerous to our lives. Stress can destroy our health and it definitely makes us "stress stupid", causing us to take ill thought out actions and make bad decisions. As to being a radiantly magical person, stress de-stabilises your entire system, causing magic to become unpredictable and disturbed.

Getting stress down is essential for all forms of magic, but what kind of spell can you do against stress when you're stressed already?

I'm sure you've heard of the idea of "acting in accord" - this means to perform a symbolical physical action on top of the magical ritual in order to cross the planes and create an "as above, so below" effect that combines very powerfully and becomes more than the sum of the parts. Here is a cool practical magic tip that turns the tables - using magic on top of a physical action that occurs anyway in your every day life to create the powerful as above, so below effect - the other way around.

I received a request from someone who was very upset because a "certain word" was being used on them, to hurt them, on a regular basis by "silly boys" in their environment.

Now it is said that "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me" but that is actually not true.

I need help with an important situation that has arisen. I have looked in vain for an answer and hope that you will be able to help me. I'm looking for a spell to reunite two lovers after death.

Magic isn't so much about rituals or herbs, or even spirits and deities, than it is about using your will to alter the fabric of reality.

One way how this is done, and perhaps the most important of them all, is to learn to use your intention to change an inanimate object into a "magical" object - this is like adding an invisible yet perfectly real layer to the object that creates ripples of change behind the scenes.

A perfect exercise for children of all ages is to make a loving charm bracelet for someone they hold dear and whom they wish well.

Dear Starfields, I really like your site, it is interesting, friendly and charming. The reason I am writing to you: I wonder if you have any good advice for an old witch! I have been working with magic (wicca mostly) for the last twenty years, and for a while I have been feeling as though I've reached a plateau, or that I am just not getting any further.

 

I think what I am trying to say is that I'm in a bit of a rut!

Have you any ideas/spells/meditations I could do to move me on again?

Message: i would like some sort of spell or a way to find out if a friend feels the same way about me as i do about him, or if im just imagining it. please help.

This truth spell or meditation is a spell for the brave, a powerful meditation to see yourself through another person's eyes and find out the real truth.

A word of warning: This spell meditation can be as disturbing as listening behind a closed door and finding out things that you'd rather you'd never heard at all. So think twice, probably thrice, before doing this one and consider whether it wouldn't be easier all around to JUST ASK ...

"Dear Starfields, can you suggest a spell or ritual to stop a family from fighting and restore love and peace? Thanks, Jerry." - That's an interesting challenge and one you can do a lot with. Here's a very easy, but extremely profound way of doing this (it's profound because this type of spell and ritual is VERY, VERY OLD magic, very elemental).

Spells can be most intriguing when they are SUNG rather than just spoken. What do you think hymns are, at the end of the day? :-) Now, writing your own spell song can be daunting. But you don't have to. You can RE-WRITE a folk song or a pop song to have the right energy for what you want, what you desire. Singing such a song when you need it is old, powerful and very natural magic indeed.

Spell Keywords: Boredom, feeling fluffy, disjointed thinking, no energy, feeling bored, frustrated and listless.

I *love* spells! They're just the best. So there I was, lying on the couch last night, thinking, "My God, I'm so ... INCREDIBLY BORED!" when it occurred to me to ask for a counter spell to boredom to come to mind.

This is what happened and it worked a treat. Try mine, try your own next time you have a moment of, "Oh I just don't know what to DO WITH MYSELF!"

This is an update of the Bushido code of the Samurai. It also serves as a very powerful spell or affirmation, to raise energy in a very different way. Especially women can greatly benefit from calling upon "The Champion's Power" because that is often not available as a rule "as a feminine attribute", yet is in many cases exactly what the witch doctor ordered for issues from self actualisation to self esteem.

Spell Keywords: Being in the right place at the right time, meeting the right people, making good intuitive decisions, not blocking natural luck from coming your way anymore.

Spell Keywords: Finding a house, a home of my own, new place to live, move house to a better place, get a new flat or other abode.

Spell Keywords: New life, changing one's life, abundance, money, earthly power, pleasure, love and higher planes aligned. Major spell and anthem, or hymn.
