Middle Earth Magic: Inspired Ideas and Seasonal Spells for Your Enchanted Life

I grew up on a farm in West Virginia and learned much about herbs, trees, animals, gardening, foraging  and so much about nature. I incorporate this wisdom I learned from elders in my family into my spellwork. When I finally left the farm, I majored in Medieval Studies, my attempt to emulate my idol, J.R.R. Tolkien. All these influences led me to my own blended brew which I call "middle earth magic," containing a mix of the modern and the time-tested "old ways."

Crystal Clear

Over time, you will doubtless adorn your sacred altar space with many beautiful crystals. Whenever you acquire a new crystal, you need to cleanse it.

Gather these elemental energies:

• A candle for fire

• A cup of water

• Incense for air

• A bowl of salt

Pass your crystal through the scented smoke of the incense and say:

Inspired with the breath of air

Pass the crystal swiftly through the flame of the candle and say:

Burnished by fire

Sprinkle the crystal with water and say:

Purified by water

Dip the crystal into the bowl of salt and say:

Empowered by the earth

Hold the crystal before you with both hands and imagine an

enveloping, warm white light purifying the tool. Now say:

Steeped in spirit and bright with light

Place the cleansed crystal upon your altar and say:

By craft made and by craft charged and changed,

This crystal I will use for the purpose of good in this world.

In the realm of the gods and goddesses.

I hereby consecrate this crystal.

Blessings to all, blessed be.
