Today is Veterans Day, as well as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day. In addition to honoring those who have served in the armed forces, today marks the end of World War I.

In the spirit of ending harmful conflict on all levels, here is a spell for bringing peace and resolution to whatever relationship needs it in your life. You will need:

• 2 tealight candles
• Something to write on the candles with
• A 12-inch length of white string or ribbon knotted into a loop
• A smooth, safe surface to set the spell upon
• Olive oil
• Salt
• A lighter or matches

On each candle, write the name of the person or party in conflict. Take the looped string and place the candles within the circle so that they are at opposite ends, stretching the circle into a soft oval. This creates a connective space for resolution to take place. Take the olive oil and draw a line connecting the two candles, smoothing the communication between the parties. Then place salt on either side of the oil streak to purify and protect the effort. Light the candles to light and clear the path to resolution. Extinguish when done.
