A Magickal Employment Lamp

The type of lamp recommended is a hurricane or kerosene lamp.The basic fuel mixture is a blend of castor oil, olive oil, and kerosene. Use 2/3 kerosene to 1/3 oil mixture. A simple terracotta oil lamp may also be used - the basic fuel mixture would then be olive oil, or palm oil.

Start with a clean lamp - a new one is best - but a used one is fine as long as it has been thoroughly cleansed.

At the bottom of the lamp place a magnet, a personal object or picture of yourself, and something connected with the type of work you're seeking - this can be the name of a specific company, their logo, a small item representing the type of work, or you can simply write what kind of work you want on a small piece of parchement and include that. Add a teaspoon of molasses. Pour in two ounces of virgin olive oil that has been thoroughly infused with two tablespoons of the following mixture:

Equal parts lovage root and grated lemon peel

Now select four of the herbs from the following list and add 1/2 teaspoon of each:

Cinnamon - Yellow Dock - Squill Root - High John the Conqueror - Red Clover - Irish Moss - Five-finger Grass - Tonka Bean - Sweet Flag - Buckeye - Wheat - Coffee - Sesame Seeds - Fenugreek - Tobacco - Jezebelle Root

Fill the rest of the way with your basic fuel mixture. Light the lamp and recite a prayer to Saint Joseph, or whatever deity you wish to invoke for help with employment and/or steady rewarding work.

Once it is lit, the flame must not be extinguished until the goal is accomplished. Each day at the same time, your desire should be restated and the prayer recited while turning the lamp in a clockwise direction (to get the ingredients moving), and the lamp should be refueled if necessary.

Note: If some of the ingredients seem difficult to acquire, feel free to use any herbs and oils that are useful in spells for employment. For example, coffee can be substituted for lovage root.

Snapdragon - A Wishing Game

Here is an old old spell you can use as a way to say farewell to the Solstice and make a wish for the coming twelve months. It's less dangerous than it seems, though care should always be taken.
Fill a shallow dish with raisins and pour a few spoonfuls of brandy over them. As you pour the brandy, say the following:

You shall receive whatever gift you may name,

as far as wind dries, rain wets, sun revolves;

as far as sea encircless and earth extends....

The Yule Log

On the winter solstice, on the longest night of the year, people would place and set afire an entire tree, that was carefully chosen and brought into the house with great ceremony. The largest end of the log would be placed into the fire hearth while the rest of the tree stuck out into the room! The log would be lit from the remains of the previous year's log which had been carefully stored away and slowly fed into the fire through the Twelve Days of Christmas....

If you have a fireplace or wood stove, it’s a good idea to perform a blessing ritual as you light the season’s first fire, especially if you perform fire magic. Ready the wood and ignite the fire using the flame of a white or orange candle as you recite this blessing:

Ancient fire,
Burn safely and bright.
Favor me with warmth and light....
