These spells are designed to be used when no other options/materials are available. They may be altered to suit your taste. They are ideally done outside, but with a little improvising, can be performed inside as well. Each spell can be used alone or in conjunction with other spells. This information is from Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs.

The Earth Spell

Place the appropriate herbs in a bag and take to a wild place. With your hands, dig a small hole in the Earth and pour the herbs into it. Strongly visualize your need. Cover the herbs and leave the area. It is done.

The Air Spell

Stand in an open place on top of a hill or mountain, far from tall trees, buildings and other hills. Hold the appropriate herbs in your dominant hand and, facing north, blow a little of them in that direction. Do so in the directions of east, south and west. In the direction of west, blow all of the herbs from your hand. Visualize your need strongly, stating your intention if you wish.

The Fire Spell

Create and draw a symbol representing your need on a piece of paper that has been cut into a triangle. While visualizing your need, place the appropriate herbs in the center of the paper and crumble it tightly so that the herbs are sealed in the paper. Build a roaring fire in an outside pit or indoor fireplace. Throw the herb packet into the fire. As it touches the flames, focus on your desire. Continue to do so until the packet has been consumed by the flames.

The Water Spell

Bring the appropriate herbs to a river, spring, lake, or seashore. Hold them tightly in your dominant hand and visualize your desire. With a sweeping motion, scatter the herbs into the water. The energy has been sent.
