13 Goddess WK07: Hindu Goddess Lakshmi

Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of prosperity, light, fertility, wisdom and courage and is believed to protect those who follow her from all kinds of misery and money-related sorrows.  She asks us to have faith and remember that the future is bright.  Sometimes we need to clear our hearts of fear as it is a block to visualizing and manifesting the light.

Lakshmi Cleansing Candle Spell

This spell is best performed during the waning Moon towards the last quarter. Cleansing spells are done at this time because the energy of the moon helps move things out of your life.
Use a pin to carve your name or personal symbol into the candle; keeping your intention in your minds.  Hold the candle between the palms of your hands and direct all of your energy into the candle.  Visualize a beautiful many armed goddess of light standing with you, reminding you that the future is full of brightness.  Light the candle saying:
Lakshimi, Goddess of light and manifestation
Help me to clear my heart of and fear
I release this astral slime
And all darkness which is not mine
I let go of all that may have harmed.
Negativity released; I am charmed
If possible, focus and meditate on your desires until the candle is almost burned out.  Combine the ashes and left over wax together and bury it in the earth at a cross-roads if possible.

    1. Simo, Thanks so much. I am planning on having a set in the shop and eventually electronic BOS pages that are all pretty, but with a full time job and a 5yr old, it may take a while :)

  4. I had to re-read that line a couple of times (I don't have the glasses that I need so reading is difficult lately) and I love it, "the Astral Slime"!

    I agree with the others...you should consider putting together an ebook of your spells - they're great!
