A Spell to Restore Friendship
Maples, horse chestnuts, mistletoe and ash trees have long been used to
restore peace where quarrels have broken out. If you can find one that is
divided just above the base of the trunk so that you can climb through it
with little difficulty, all the better.
You will need:
An old scarf long enough to go right round the tree
Holding the scarf in your hand you pass through the cleft in the tree
nine times counter-clockwise saying:
Where there is pain,
Let friendship now reign.
And let it be done, that it harm no one.
If you cannot climb through the tree, simply walk around it.
Now do the same again, nine times clockwise, saying:
May bitterness end,
And ill feelings mend.
And let it be done, that it harm no one.
Now loop the scarf right round the tree and tie three knots to bind the
ends together. As you tie the knots say:
Knot one, sorrow end.
Knot two, be us friend
Knot three, heal the pain,
Let love flow again.
And let it be done, that it harm no one.
After you have thanked the tree for its grace, make your way home and
ask yourself if there is any reason not to make a gesture of reconciliation
towards the person with whom you have quarrelled. And even if you
think there is, why not ignore it and make one anyway?
