| Before surgery you may cast this spell during the third hour after sunrise or the first or eighth hour after sunset. Begin by speaking: "On this day of great energy, in this hour of self-preservation, I call upon the ruling powers and the elementals to aid me." Anoint two light blue votive candles with cypress essential oil. Inscribe on one the runic symbol Beorc, the goddess; on the other, Os, the god. Set the candles on the altar and light, saying: "I call upon the Lady and the Lord to stand by me. Let the power of thy love and thy protection surround me, that this surgery be successful and I gain good health." Drop rosemary and St. Johns Wort leaves into the flames. Say: "By the power of the Lady and the Lord, by herb and by light, let ill health take flight! So mote it be!" Let the candles burn down. Bury the remains. |
