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."
House Magic: Palm Leaf Protection Rite
This simple ceremony blesses your home with the power of the sun and the protection of the palm leaf. Essential elements for this ritual are a palm leaf or front, incense, cup of water.
Take your palm leaf outside on a sunny day. Cast your sacred circle. Light the incense and pass the palm leaf through the smoke, saying:
By air and by fire I cleanse and consecrate you to the purpose of protection.
Touch your fingertips to the water, sprinkle a few drops onto the leaf, and say:
By water I cleanse and consecrate you to the purpose of protection.
Lay the palm leaf on the ground, saying:
By earth I cleanse and consecrate you to the purpose of protection.
Now hold the palm leaf up to the sun. Visualize the warmth and strength of the light permeating the palm leaf and filling it with power. Say:
Honored Sun,
Beloved light of the day,
Bless this palm with your protection and light.
