i am
a well of desire
and
dreams
and
heartstrings
pulled taut
across
the universe
refracting light
and
dark
and
hidden wishes
of the soul
ascended
to breath-taking heights
soaring on wings of destiny
leaving behind
remnants of shackles
and
fear
and
uncertainty
no longer
my uninvited companions
on this journey
of self-actualization

Manipura, or Solar Plexus, Chakra

This bright yellow ball of fire heats up our personal sense of power. Located at the solar plexus, this chakra helps to center us. It is our power center where we develop our autonomy and sense of self. When this chakra is open, we feel worthy of all that life has to offer us. We realize the power we possess to create the life of our dreams is already alive inside of us. When we harness the energy of the solar plexus chakra, we find the strength to conquer our dreams and goals.

i
think
you
loved
me

and this was no form of magic

unless

being
me
is
the
magic
that kept you yearning for what i thought i had

a heart

and now that your gone

what little heart i had

left with you

so now the thoughts of you

must leave as well

so i sat in my circle
with nine candles anointed
with oils and spices
and i placed his picture
into
the poppet
and the poppet
into
the cauldron

and i chanted

Your love will wither and depart,
from my life and my heart
Let me be,
and go away forever.

then i sat there and watched

and
my
thoughts
of

you

are

White cotton fabric
Bedding or cotton to use as a stuffing
Parchment paper
Lavender
Rosemary
Needle and thread

whattodo:

You will need to make a small dream pillow in order to have this spell carried out. For this you need to first cut two bits of cotton fabric and sew up three sides of the rectangle or square. If you choose your pillow to be circular, then you sew the whole thing around, leaving a little at the bottom in order to fill up the pillow. Then turn the cloth upside down and stuff the pillow with bedding or cotton. At the end of the filling remember to put in the rosemary and lavender as well. Using the needle and thread sew up the remaining of the pillow.

Then write the name of the person whom you want to perform the spell on and also state exactly what you want them to dream of you. Then prepare an altar and cast a circle around the altar. Once this is done, place yourself at the center and hold the dream pillow in your hands, place the parchment on the pillow and say the following spell:

Blessed Mother, Holy Goddess
Send (name of the person) a dream
And awaken his/her mind
Carry my voice far and galore
To the place where even sleep lays ashore
Send him/her this message loud and clear
This is not just a prayer mere.
