			<title>Chill Out</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=9999</link>
			<description><![CDATA[There is a long history to explain why the date (and time) 420 has become associated with marijuana, and there are a lot of stories that attempt to explain the connection. Everything from a numerological connection to a Bob Dylan song to the number of chemical compounds found in weed are all stories that get told. But the true story goes back to some stoner kids in the 1970s who had friendships with the Grateful Dead, and the rest is urban legend!Many a pot lover the world over celebrates the magickal plant that we call weed on this day. Whether you imbibe the herb today or not, we can all honor the power of this plant for bringing in a chill and relaxed vibe. What helps you relax? Is it a bath, a meditation session, or a toke of Mary Jane? Let today's anthem be one of calming down and chilling out. Make some magickal space to allow the chill into your life.]]></description>

			<title>Endless Love Spell</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=9998</link>
			<description><![CDATA[My only child was born on this day, so I celebrate her and invest my energy in endless love. Do you have a child, pet, or family member whom you will love endlessly? The sort of love that transcends time and space? Place their photograph on your altar. Safely light a candle in their honor: red for passion, pink for affection, white for purity, or blue for serenity. Feel your love and speak:I declare my endless love by the fire of this light. I swear I will forever love, cherish, and delight. Deep within my head and heart my love blazes bright, Across all lifetimes, space and time. Endlessly your path is woven tight with mine. Extinguish the candle. Relight it any time you wish to evoke endless love.]]></description>

			<title>Poem Magic</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=9997</link>
			<description><![CDATA[When we think of spoken spells, we tend to think of charms and phrases that are rhymed. But all words have the potential for magic, especially if we consider their structure and balance. They don't always have to rhyme to have power.Today, try playing with a different format for your spoken word spells, meditations, and blessings. A haiku is a kind of Japanese poetry that is non-rhyming and consists of three lines with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5. What if you thought about those three lines as representing past, present, and future? Or the Cauldron of Poesy with body, heart, and spirit? Fives can also relate to the elements and protection, while the seven connects to the action of the Chariot card in the major arcana of the Tarot.Here's an example of a haiku for protection:Behind me, spirits. With me, mighty guardians. Before me, the star.]]></description>

			<title>Achieve a Goal Spell</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=9996</link>
			<description><![CDATA[With the new moon in Aries today, you have a great opportunity to achieve almost any goal you choose. For this spell, you should ground and center first. Sit at your altar or in another peaceful spot and think of one specific goal you wish to achieve. Then select a candle that will fit securely in a holder or easily sit in a heatproof dish. Choose a color that you feel is appropriate for your goal. Now carefully light the candle. Gaze into the flame. As you think of what you wish to achieve, say this charm:May this light guide me to my goal. May my eyes see my dream unfold. May my feet guide me to the right way. May my hands help me shape my dream, now and every day. Exhale and relax. When you're ready, safely extinguish the candle. Save it for other rituals. Go about your day. Soon you'll see signs that your spell is working.]]></description>

			<title>Mirror Spell for Protection</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=9995</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Use this spell to capture and deflect any baneful energies being sent your way. You'll need a small mirror and a black eyeliner pencil or marker. Use the eyeliner or marker to draw a large pentacle to cover the mirror. As you draw the symbol, say:Earth is my power! Spirit, my shield! I am protected, as Nature doeth will! Stand with the mirror in front of every window and entrance in your home, with the reflective side of the mirror facing out toward the outside world. Repeat the words above at each window or door as you make a circuit around your home. Then leave the mirror in a safe place where it's out in the open but unlikely to be touched. The top of a bookcase could make a good spot. Lay the mirror to rest flat upon the surface, placing it with its reflective face exposed to capture any lingering negative energies.]]></description>

			<title>Enhancing Spiritual Studies</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=9994</link>
			<description><![CDATA[This year April 15th is a Wednesday, the day of the week ruled by Mercury, lending itself to the energies of communication, wisdom, and cleverness. No matter where you are along your path, you will want to enhance your spiritual studies at some point. Today you can improve your skills through wisdom and communication. You can commune with Athena, the goddess of wisdom, to accomplish this goal.Take a physical representation of an owl (a symbol of Athena), either a drawing printed out from online or one hand-drawn by you. Color in the image so it becomes vibrant, using colors like purple or violet to represent the spiritual nature of your studies and orange to represent success and ambition. As you color the image, concentrate on what part of your spiritual studies you want to enhance or get better at. After completing the picture, visualize yourself becoming more adept in your spiritual practice.]]></description>

			<title>Cleaning Up Spilled Tea</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=9993</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Sometimes the rumor mill is juicy and everyone is "spilling the tea," as the phrase goes. When you are involved in gossip or the subject of a scandal, do this spell to clean up the spilled teaandmdash;in other words, make the situation far less interesting to people so they move on.Choose an absorbent item, such as a cotton ball or porous piece of wood. Brew a cup of tea and place the absorbent object in the cup. Breathe in the steam and spend some time mulling over all the gossip that's been going around. Visualize this as an erratic energy flowing out every time you exhale, infusing the brew. Continue for as long as it takes for you to become bored and disinterested.Remove the object from the tea and put it someplace where it won't be touched. Dump the tea down the drain. As the object dries up, so will the scandal.]]></description>

			<title>Seed Blessing Spell</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=9992</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The rites of spring will soon be upon us and now is the perfect time to gather the seeds, bulbs, corms, and dormant rhizomes you will be working with to prepare them for planting. This blessing is an energetic boost we can provide for the seeds, encouraging healthy germination and letting them know they will be sown with intention and care. All you need are the seeds (or bulbs, etc.) that you will be planting in the weeks to come and a few moments where you are free to focus.Hold the seeds in your passive hand and outline a triangle over them with your dominant hand. As you do this, visualize green fire pouring from your dominant hand to create a triangle of green flame. Take a deep breath, and as you exhale, push the green flame triangle into the seeds, visualizing them absorbing the energy. Say:Green fire, the witchesandrsquo; flame, bless these seeds in your name!]]></description>

			<title>Licorice Magic</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=9991</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Today is National Licorice Day, a time to honor the black chewy candy flavored with licorice root. If you're among those who enjoy this candy, you can employ it for powerful magic to ground your energy, neutralize anxiety, and protect yourself from all forms of negativity. (You can substitute chocolate, which can be used similarly, provided you like the way it tastes.) Safely light a black candle (or a dark brown one if you're using chocolate). Set some candy on a plate near the candle, exactly as much as you feel like eating. Sit comfortably nearby. Close your eyes and take some deep centering breaths. Consciously relax your body and notice the stabilizing feeling of gravity anchoring you into the earth. Say:Great Goddess, ground me, relax me, and protect me from inner and outer harm. Thank you. Open your eyes. Slowly and mindfully enjoy the candy. As you do, notice your whole being coming alive with an energized clarity, gentle happiness, and calm sense of embodied power. Extinguish the candle when done.]]></description>

			<title>Get Familiar</title>
			<link>http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php?spell_id=9990</link>
			<description><![CDATA[This is National Pet Day, but for witches, select animals we live with are revered working partners called familiars. Animals and humans have long been involved in a symbiotic relationship. We feed each other in various ways. If you are unaware of the power and magick inherent in a familiar, take some time to learn about it. If you are not allowed to have animals where you live, get creative. You could have a strong animal's presence in the way you dress (animal prints, colors, and textures), or you could have a sculpted or stuffed animal be a part of your magickal workings. The sky is the limit! For those with a familiar already, why not set aside the day to appreciate it? Have a ceremonial meal of appreciation with each of your preferred foods. Make it extra special.]]></description>
