A Spell to Stop Tongues Wagging
If you feel that you are the subject of unjust gossip, this spell should stop
the tongues wagging. As well as the items listed, you will also need
access to a holly bush as you are going to seek the protection it offers.
The spell is best cast on a Tuesday when the moon is waning.
You will need:
A red taper candle
A red pen
A very small square of paper
A snapdragon (antirrhinum) stem
A thorn
Some red ribbon
Facing south, light the red candle, seeing in its flame the face or faces of
the source of the gossip. Write their names on the paper with the red
pen. If you are unsure of who it is, simply write, ‘whomever you may
be’. Fold the paper into a tiny scroll.
Carefully pluck the largest flower from the snapdragon and very gently
open it out. Roll it round the scroll, repeating these words or ones
similar, five times:
Let your tongue speak goodness,
Let your thoughts be kind,
Consider your own faults,
I know mine.
Use the thorn to keep the scroll in place and as you pierce the flower, say:
Protect me as their lips do part,
Words not spoken from the heart.
And let it be done, that it harm no one.
Now take the floral package to the holly bush and bury it in the bush’s
shade. Tie the ribbon to a convenient branch and as you walk away, see
the gossip as being in your past. And don’t look back.
