mist. Once the mirror is clear, extinguish the candles, cover

the mirror with a dark blue or black velvet drape, and record
the message in your book of shadows.

The Mirror Box

There comes a time in everyones life when protection is
needed from outside negative forces. This is especially true
for those involved in Witchcraft and the magickal arts. For
some reason, it seems to be the delight of neophyte Witches
to psychically attack their peers solely for the sheer delight
of doing it. In such cases, where ignorance is the motive, the
offending individual warrants some time in the mirror box.
The mirror box is a reflective tool for turning ones own
spitefulness against others. There is no need to thrust pins
in a doll, invoke the demons of hell, or call upon the grim
reaper. A simple returning of negativity will suffice. Use com-
mon sense and think before you act. This doesnt mean you
must turn the other cheek, or become a living martyr, but
rather be reasonable and dont join your rivals in the gutter.

How To Make The Mirror Box

Items needed: One medium sized box with a lid,
black construction paper or paint, six mirror tiles,
one black candle, sandalwood oil, and a photo-
graph of or handwriting sample from the person
to be placed in the box.
Paper or paint the outside of the box black. Cut the mirror
tiles to fit the inside of the boxs lid, sides, and bottom.
Glue them in place with the reflective sides facing inward
so when you look into the box you are able to see your
reflection.

Begin this spell on a Thursday night just before the moon

turns new. Place the box on a table facing the direction where
your enemy lives. Dress the candle with sandalwood oil as
you chant:
It is not to hate or burn,
Just your evil to return.
Place the candle on top of the box and lean the photo-
graph or handwriting against it. Light the candle. Focus your
attention on the photograph to create a mental link with the
person and chant:
All that is evil and sent to me
Is reflected back and returned to thee.
This magickal box shall hold you tight
As your evilness turns against you this night.
All that you have sent to me
Shall now be returned by law of three.
Lift the candle off the box, being careful not to extin-
guish it. Open the box and place the picture inside. Close
the lid and replace the candle on top of the box. Allow the
candle to burn for one hour. Repeat this spell for three con-
secutive nights. On the third night, seal the box shut with
wax from the candle, then allow the black candle to burn
out. Bury the box or store it in a safe place. If the person in
the box continues to vex you, repeat the spell.

MOON
The moon, like the sun, rises in the East and sets in the
West. Unlike the sun, the appearance of its size and shape
continually change, at least from our earth-bound perspec-
tive. In a lunar month there are four cycles of approximately

seven days. The phases the moon goes through include the
dark of the moon (also called the new moon). It waxes (grows
larger) until the first quarter is visible as the half moon. When
the moon continues to wax, its horns point to the East until
it reaches a full circle, known as the full moon. It will then
begin to diminish in size as it wanes through the last quarter,
with the horns pointing West, and continues to wane until
the new moon returns.

Dark (new) First Quarter Full Last Quarter

It is wise to time your magickal rites to coincide with the

proper phase of the moon. By doing this you take advantage
of lunar power, stay in sympathy with the natural pull of the
universe, and combine your energy with natures. The more
circumstances you can bring into alignment when doing
magick, the better the results will be.
Use the waxing moon to begin new projects, build friend-
ships, rekindle a romance, and create new business oppor-
tunities. During the full moon, nurture and reaffirm
intentions, focus energy on projects set in motion during
the new moon, and work to create success and abundance.
During the dark or waning moon, take time to reflect on
goals and ambitions. Use this time to break undesirable
habits and patterns and to undo negative influences com-
ing from others.
