Athenaeum
A Place for study of the arts
In ancient
Greece students of the arts gathered in the temples of Athena to exchange
ideas, philosophies, and techniques. The purpose of the Athenaeum
in Ravenwynd is the same. Here you will find things from many different
traditions. And we hope you will find something useful to you on
your path. The first contribution is a prosperity spell by Sakara-ani.
Coin of Lugh
A prosperity ritual to be performed
at any time during a waxing moon.
Implements Needed:
2 gold candles
Small purple
velvet pouch filled with 5 silver coins. (Real silver is nice, but
dimes may be used.)
A single small
coin shape that has been cut from tinfoil and etched with the letter "L".
On the Ritual Night
Bring all of
the above to your altar wrapped in silk. Place the gold candles,
one to each side of the altar's pentacle. Cast your circle and kneel
before the altar with the silk cloth on the floor in front of you.
Center yourself, then recite:
Hail, Lugh, I call on thee:
As I ask, so it shall be.
All earned moneys shall now come
to me.
More, not less, that the work that
I do:
Rewards be drawn to the coin in
my shoe.
Now carefully remove
the items from your cloth and place them on your altar. Place the
five silver coins in a circle on the pentacle with the tinfoil coin in
the center. Recite:
Oh, mighty Lugh, with these
symbols of thee,
I touch thy greatness and force.
So be it channeled into this space,
And abundance shall come unto me.
Now, light the gold
candles and give as much time as you feel is needed to experience the energy
within the circle. When this time has passed, rise, place the tin
foil coin in your hand and say:
It is done, My Lugh:
The Force exists.
I honor thy presence:
Now honor my wish.
Extinguish the candles
and whisper, "So mote it be." The ritual is now concluded.
Open your circle and either glue or tape the tin foil coin into the bottom
inside heel of the shoe that you wear most often. The spell may be
repeated to create a coin for every pair of shoes you own.
Blessed Be,
Sakara-Ani
