A magical representation of your wishes, made from everyday objects, can help turn your dreams into reality.

The tradition of making a wishing bundle is as old as the hills and can be adapted easily for our modern-day society.  All you have to do is gather together items that are associated with your wish and place them in a box, tied up with a silver ribbon.

FLOWERS FOR THE GARDEN

If your wish is associated with a house move, gather together items that represent your new home.  These could include flower seeds and grasses you would like to grow in your garden.  You might include a small model of a house or photos of colors and styles you like.  If you want to move from the city, include items associated with the country.

Gather your wishing items together and place them in your box until you have all you need.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SILVER

When you're choosing the items you will put in your wishing bundle, always make sure that you include something silver -- the candle you will light when you make your wish, and the ribbon with which you bind the spell are ideal.  Silver objects are used to represent the magical light of the Moon.  The light of your silver candle can help you to reach your full potential.

The Silvery Moon:  Silver is the color of the full Moon, when magic is at its strongest.  It is especially appropriate as we are hoping that the powers or our magical spirit will bring our wishes to "light" -- silver shimmers in the light.

The Light Within:  Silver is also the color of intuitie visions, and can help to bring out your latent potential.

YOUR WISHING BUNDLE SPELL

Once you have gathered together the objects you will use in your spell and a silver item, follow this simple guide to making a wishing bundle and watch your dreams come true.

Before you can actually cast your spell, you will need to gather together all of the items you need to place within your box.  Don't rush collecting your items--take time to find the things you really want.  You can always replace them as you go along.

Keep To Realistic Goals:  Remember to keep your wishes realistic--casting a simple spell cannot deliver a 20-bedroom mansion on acres of land!  More realistic wishes would be for your new home to be filled with love; for friendly neighbors; or for your gardent to be beautiful--no matter what size it is.

YOU WILL NEED TO COLLECT

• A shoe box or other box of appropriate size to contain your wishing items.
• A silver ribbon to bind the box and your spell.
• Items that represent your wish (these can be anything that you associate with the fruition of your desires).
• A silver candle.

On the night of a full Moon, take all the items that you have chosen to symbolize your wish and place them on the table in front of you.

When you feel ready to begin your spell, light your silver candle.

Center your thoughts and focus your mind completely upon your intent.  Try not to let other distracting thoughts enter your mind.  Try to concentrate on your wish as clearly as possible.

One by one, place your items within the box repeating the chant, "This (item) to bring to life my wish for (name what the item represents, such as flowers in the garden)."

Once all items are within your box, close it completely and begin to bind it up with the ribbon.  As you do so recite, "With this ribbon I do bind, that it may may heart's wish find."

Now that your spell is complete and your box of items has been secured with the ribbon, place your wishing bundle somewhere safe.  Do not open it or touch it until your wish comes true.

REMEMBER:  A WISHING BUNDLE IS MADE OF OBJECTS SYMBOLIC OF YOUR DESIRES.  COLLECT ANYTHING YOU ASSOCIATE WITH YOUR WISH.

BEST OF LUCK!!
