Cancer Talisman Spell

I have left this word for word as the whole message conveys the energy of the piece better than if it was edited. I have just layed it out for HTML.

Dear Dave, I wrote this spell to help a young girl whose friend had just been diagnosed with cancer. Apparently it worked to an extent as she has had her tumour reduced and her doctors are very pleased. She had conventional therapy and Chemotherapy but says that her Talisman and the visualization of her cancer cells going helped. A part of this was the love her friend had for her which would have strengthened her and the kick-start for her own body to heal. BB Maiya

A Spell To Heal And To Empower A Talisman. By Maiya Seadreamer

Timing between the New and Full Moon.
Gather together these things, which can be found easily in a store cupboard or any local shop.
1 red candle ( Healing strength)
1 black candle (absorb baneful illness). If you cannot get a black candle cover another red candle with a thick black felt pen.) A quartz crystal pendant or any pendant with a stone that you feel drawn to give your friend or a stone or crystal.
A tiger`s eye or any pretty stone is fine.
Olive or any vegetable oil.
Pinch of dried or fresh rosemary
Pinch of dried or fresh thyme
A photo or something belonging to the sick girl or her full name and birthdate.
A paper doll in a easily drawn shape like a gingerbread biscuit figure. Add details like her hair colour and draw in an outfit she wears a lot. On the front draw a small circle where the illness has struck to represent it. Colour this black. On the back write her name and brithdate.
Incense ( Optional.)
Sandalwood, Rosemary, Lemon, Pine, Myrrh or any other oil you feel invokes a healing smell.
Small bowl of rain, distilled or mineral water.
Salt. (Seasalt if possible.)
Pin to inscribe candles
Lighter, ashtray and a snuffer or thimble for candles.

The Day Before.
Place pendant or stone in a sunny place and charge it with sunlight. Leave it under the moonlight over night. In an egg cup or small container, mix a tablespoon of olive or vegetable oil with some powdered thyme or rosemary and leave in the sun and then overnight to infuse. Strain through some muslin or a teastrainer and use to dress and anoint the candles. (Doing this charges them with your personal vibrations and links them to your magick.) Make a paper doll as shown above. Find a small table or box to serve as an altar, cover with a clean white cloth and arrange the candles herbs and other spell components.

Getting Into The Mood:
Just before Spell to prepare yourself mentally, spiritually and physically Take a "Ritual Bath" Components: Place a pinch of three of the following kitchen herbs (which are used for healing), into a muslin bag or the cut off foot of a pair of tights; Rosemary, thyme. peppermint, bay or mint leaves. Tie this under the tap as the hot water runs in and add two tablespoons of salt or bathsalts. (Optional add six drops of blue food colouring and a citrus perfume like lemon.) Play gentle music and think about your friend and what you want to accomplish for her. Immerse yourself. Dry off and dress in a clean white robe. I use a white linen shirt my husband never wore. Some prefer to do this sort of thing sky-clad or naked. Well you are going to be in a private place!

Spellworking:
Go to a quiet and private place where you will not be disturbed. Focus on your intent to help and heal. Raise energy by using your emotions and visualizing a stream of blue-white light from your index finger, wand or athame. Cast a Circle in your usual way and call the Quarters. (This can be omitted if you find it difficult.)

Inscribe the black candle with the pin with the name of the illness or write "Baneful illness.." Inscribe the red candle with your friends name and birthdate. Add any healing symbols you like. Dress the candle with herbal oil you made. Massage it from the middle outwards to the ends of the black candle to "banish" and massage the red candle by doing it from the ends of the candle to the middle to invite healing power.

Light the red candle only and then the Incense Visualize The Goddess in her Crone aspect. You might use the Morrigan or Brigidt As you anoint the black candle chant:

"Shrink and die oh cancerous bane, And take with you any pain! "

Do this three times each time chant louder until you are yelling out in anger the last line of "TAKE AWAY ANY PAIN..."

Visualize your friend`s cancer cells as shrivelling up and dying, and all her medical treatment working along side the magick you have worked . You can stare at her photo if you have one. See her as well and as a confident and happy girl full of the joys of life. Invoking Chant:

"Dark Mother aid me and assist my fight
To destroy bane and sickness in my friend this night
Sever it`s power as swift as a knife
To save a maiden in the morning of her life
May nothing evil return to me I seal this spell and as I ask so shall it be...."

Take up the Paper doll made to look like your friend and pass it over the flame of the black candle and through the incense smoke.. Rub salt on your fingers and then add a pinch to the bowl of rain water. Stir the water with index finger and say:

"Elements of air, earth , water and of fire, witness this rite,
I ask you to help me with a healing tonight;
I consecrate this holy water to the Triple Gods and Goddesses of both Earth Sun and Moon.....
I come tonight to ask of thee a boon...
By your ancient powers come to my aid
Carry the magick I have made!

" Hold up the figure, sprinkle it lightly with the Holy water and say three times : I name thee ---- may all thy sickness and any thoughts of self-harm, be burnt away and be forever gone!" Now light the paper doll from the black candle and let it burn in the ashtray. Continue the chant louder and louder three times so you finish with a loud shout to carry away the spell to the Cosmos.

Snuff out the black candle This must be buried in earth away from your home at the nd of the spell and never used again.

Light the red candle. Take the charged pendant and or stone and hold it in your power hand (the one you write with) Focus on all the love and feelings of friendship you have for your friend and see her as well and happy. As you do this see the Goddess is her younger aspect of a nurturing and loving mother.

Invoking Chant: Say 3x3

"Brigid , Goddess of Fire and Great Earth Mother, I ask this boon of thee!
Empower this pendant/stone as a Talisman and powerful charm To guard --------name---- of all hurt and harm.."
Great and merciful mother a child of yours has need of your care;
Name ------ is ill and in despair
On this night and at this hour, I call on the Ancient Healing Power;
To send the strength of the love of her friends to thee.
I ask by your merciful magick and my will so mote it be!"

Take the power of all the emotions within you and in your mind's eye see streams of blue-white light flowing down your arm and from the tips of your fingers into the "Talisman" you have empowered for your friend. Pour into it all the love you feel for her and the love of all her concerned friends, tell her to hold it or wear it when she is feeling weak or sad to remind herself of all her caring and loving friends. Give your friend the pendant/stone which is now a healing Talisman filled with the power of your love and friendship for her. If others want to help then incorporate their power into it as well.

If you Cast a Circle then dismiss the Quarters and thank them for attending your spell working. Thank the Goddesses invoked for their assistance politely. Close the circle by visualizing it as dissipating into the floor in your usual way.

Let the red candle burn out if you desire . Bury the black one separately in the earth with any ashes from the ashtray.

Your friend should soon start to look and feel better. If she has to go through conventional medical care like chemotherapy she will have the Talisman to hold on to at any difficult times. Always hug her when you visit as witches can transmit their healing power by touch and the laying on of hands and massaging a painful area. A lot of people find cancer difficult to talk about but there is a very good success rate these days at curing it.

I do not advocate doing a spell and not going to the doctor. This spell is written to help alongside proper hospital treatment as Cancer is a serious illness. Please let me know how this works. I have used elements of this working in different spells of my own, but this one is totally original .

(Just a note Mayia SeaDreamer is a wonderfull person and pours her all into helping others even though she herself has serious MS. I have often wondered on the fact that some of the best healers I know are very ill themselves. I sometimes suspect that they give so much to others they have no time for themselves.)
