The crystal beam
A CANDLE-BURNING SPELL FOR SOMEONE IN NEED. When someone you know and love is facing a serious illness or an operation, the use of energy transference can be a positive way of lending them some of your strength for their impending battle. You can do this quite effectively either at home or even by their hospital bed if you act quickly but stay calm. YOU WILL NEED A small crystal; a blue or green candle; 1 metre of green cord or ribbon; a pot of growing marigolds AS SOON AS YOU LEARN THAT YOUR LOVED ONE IS IN TROUBLE, BEGIN YOUR SPELL. Hold a small crystal in your right hand throughout the procedure and, when the spell is done, take it to your friend. If they are not near you, place it by a photo of them. LIGHT THE CANDLE AND SEE YOUR FRIEND’S FACE IN THE FLAME. Wind the cord around your left index finger and place it to your ‘third eye’. Concentrate your energy on the person who is ill and look into the flame, still seeing their face there. Transfer all your own positive thought and energy to the patient, imagining the flame burning very brightly and then sending a beam of that light to them. Try to see them vividly in your mind, and swirl the light around their body in a halo of protection and energy. Concentrate these thoughts into the ribbon, and hold tightly to the crystal. Drum up as much mental energy as you can, and send it, like a beam, to your needy friend. Try gently to persuade them to fight their health problem with all their own strength and as much of yours as they can take; ask them to decide that they want to get well. SUSTAIN THIS FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN, AND THEN TAKE THE CRYSTAL, THE RIBBON AND THE MARIGOLD PLANT TO THEM. Place the crystal under their pillow; tie the ribbon around the head of the bed in a bow; and place the flowers by the bedside (you may need to convince hospital staff that this is a religious ceremony of which the patient would approve). WHILST YOU KEEP VIGIL, SEND AS MUCH CONTINUED LIGHT AROUND THEIR BODY AS YOU CAN. It is now up to your loved one but, deep inside, they will have an extraordinary feeling of support.
