Ritual for Enhanced Beauty and Charisma

Construct an altar to the appropriate spirit. This ritual is most often associated with Aphrodite, Ezili Freda Dahomey, or Oshun, but potentially any spirit of beauty may be addressed. Men may direct petitions to spirits renowned for male good looks: for instance, Adonis, Apollo, Ganymede, or Shango.

Place makeup, jewelry, fragrance, or a handkerchief or glove on the altar.

Allow it to stay overnight or longer to absorb the spirit’s power and aura. Clearly articulate your intent and desires to the spirit.

Explain that the item will be removed, that although it is on the altar, it remains in your possession. It is a good idea to offer a gift to the spirit at the same time.

Request its blessing; ask it to empower the item.

Wear the item when you need some of the spirit’s power transmitted to you.

As with ALL things; Take only what resonates with your heart and higher self, and leave the rest behind.

  • For any question, you can cast a handful or bag of Runes and read the meaning of the runes that land face up only.
  • You may cast them into a circle (drawn with chalk or as a pattern on a cloth). Read the runes that land inside the circle AND face up.
  • If The Eye (Witches Rune) or Tiwaz (Elder Futhark) appears amongst the runes when cast, pay extra attention to where the eye is looking or Tiwaz is pointing.
  • Pro Tip: You can also use runes just as you would the Tarot, with ANY tarot spread. Simply pull one at a time from your bag to fill the layout.

*while Witches’ and Elder Futhark are different sets of runes, (just as English and Gaelic are different languages) I use mine together;  my rune casts are “bilingual”. I have made the same choice in my online rune layouts. Alainn Tarot interactive includes both sets at the same time. 

These are plants that grow in my own yard or elements that I keep in stock personally, gathered in a single category for my own quick navigation.
