Introduction:
I am the Pillar of Light. I am the One with Many Names, Many Faces, many Races. I am the
One, the Goddess of Old, Mystic's Spirit and Dragons. I am an Ancient Mystic, an
AlphaWolf, a Draconian and more. I am the Silver-Eyed Daughter, I am the Mother. I am
the Lady Guardian of the Realms, Lady Empress of the Dragon Nations. I am a Sister, a
Daughter, Loving Mate, Mother. I am an Aunt, Cousin, Friend and Lover. I am All and more.
The Greatest Gift that a Goddess can receive is the Gifts of Love, Peace, and Happiness, all
of which are given to me by my Mate, Lord Draconis Vilinos Dratianos, who is the other half
of my very soul, completing me with everything that is within me.
This Book of the Light is lovingly dedicated to you, Draconis. I thank you for returning the
creativity, the memories, the love that I once thought lost to me forever. E-frisco-tor. Je
t'aime. la'decorte'comare. I love you, now and evermore. You are the Darkness to my Light,
the air that I breathe, you are my All. My Mate, my Love, my Lord, my All. You are Life.

Think of it: Nature. Think of all the times She's been Calm, yet Chaotic. Think of all the
people She's killed with her tantrums of the Weather. Think of all the harmful things that
have to be done to make room for the Calm things.
To Me, at least, It's all about BALANCE. Calm, Chaos....Life, Death, Renewal...that sort of
thing. Think about the Symbol of Yin-Yang the next time you see it and think of this:
There's always a little Light in the Darkness, as there's always a little Darkness in the
Light.
Sorry, didna mean to go on a tangent, but that's what I believe. I've been a Mystic for at
least 20 years of my life. Before that, I believed I was cursed by God himself.
At first, I did believe in God, then in Wicca, then I had an epiphany. All the things in Nature
that "didn't seem fair" to me....killing for no reason (ah, but there is reason for everything),
destruction and burings, hell in a world where Love and Light was supposed to belong. It just
didn't make sense anymore. Nothing did, so I found I was almost at square one. Where in
the many realms of Paganism did I truely belong?
Then I found the word Mystic. Originally, it was supposed to be a word to replace the word
"Psychic" for my books and stories about the Realm of Dreams. I found more on every
'different' Pagan-type religion out there...and more, and more, and more....hmmm? the Word
Mystic seemed to pop out of my head and onto the paper.... And here I am. A Mystic Witch.
Keep it clear that I, too, am still learning the many Paths of the Craft....I, too, don't know or
ever will know everything about everything....I, too, am still in search for the very Niche to
KEEP me from being who I'm not, and learning to be who I am. I have an open mind, and open
heart, and sometimes a bigger open mouth.
Just a friendly note.
Ah, there's a question I love to answer...but I'll answer it in NOTS first. What doesn't
make one a Witch.
IT'S NOT:
How long you've been practicing or your family has been into it.
How long you've loved the occult
How long you've felt yourself stranger than the rest of the masses.
How long you've not felt right about the religion your family crams down your throat.
It's not by who you claim to be, but who you are.
It's not by the "rules" of Witchcraft that makes a witch
It's not by the so-called spells and potions you cast
It's not by who you're related to, or how many generations it goes down the family tree, for
those traddies.
It's not who you are on the outside, but on the inside as well.
The Gods Call you to your Path in one way or another.
Something inside of you screaming for release and clarity: Confusion, Hurt, Anger,
Frustration at trying to "fit in" where you feel you "Don't" belong. Pain when the light isn't
bright enough to see by...and those in your life "just don't understand what you've become."
The Learning process is eternal...from one life to another, from one way to another,
bouncing forever from one place to another, one time to another...etc...
IT IS
How the witch "feels"...close to the Earth, the Goddess/Gods, Entities, Elementals, etc...
Who they are inside, and how they live on the outside. Each witch is different, but there
are those 'little things' that are the same.
"Love and Magick: and ne'er the twain shall part; for you must have
Love in your Magick, and there's Always Magick in Love!" -- self-quote, circa 1999
The Fifth and Final Elemental Pillar, the Center, the Spirit of All, is Ishanar
Two ways actually. First, I'm a fantasy writer in need of ways to describe actions, so I read
up on it and came to the Celts, my ancestors and my heritage. Second was quite by accident,
and boy did it cause a stir! I was eight years old and a little girl bout six years was tearing
leaves off a bush we were playing hide-and-seek in. I could FEEL the bush's pain and HEAR
the screams. Without knowing what I was doing (hey, I was eight, I was young and
stupid)....I took a leaf that was still attached to the bush in my hands and closed my eyes. I
FELT some warm (now I know as healing) energy seep from my body to the bush. From then
on, I was put to shame by those around me, for being "Cursed"...and "Demon Spawn"....and,
oh, my favorite, "Devil's Child". Later I found out my 'Curse' was no curse at all. I am an
Empathic Healer. I work in Dreams now with my healings, but I still have the Empathic
feelings. I'm also a Clairvoyant and have both Empathic and Clairvoyant Visions.
Revelations:
April 17, 2005
*at Fort Drum Army Base, NY*
Something happened today that gave me SOME insight.....I AM a witch, and I can change
that which is around me, and within me as well...the latter coming first of course. In order
to SEE I must OPEN my eyes.
I was supposed to go to church today. I called the chaplain last night and found out what
time to be there....he told me 5pm. Okay, that was a little late for a church service, but I'll
be there, I thought to myself. Well, I went on a long bikeride to get there, getting myself
lost only once. Once I did, it was 1630 and no one was around. I looked at the board in front
of the Chapel...he told me the wrong time!
That was fine...I took out my writing notebook and a pen and wrote the correct times down
from off the board, along with a number...flipping thru the notebook were papers I'd
forgotten were there. Within all the papers of my former writing ideas was a spell.
I was shocked...when did I write THAT? hmm...it was a 'help this woman' kind of spell, and it
was really messed up. It called the Lady Brigit Goddess while Lord Curnonos (? on spelling
for now) as Lord. and all sorts of things were wrong...it didn't rhyme and didn't feel right.
I took my bike and went to sit in the shade to rewrite it. I sat on on the grass while I did it.
When I was finished, I closed my eyes and took deep breaths, reciting it. I felt something
tingling inside and it wasn't the light breeze...I opened my eyes and thought of something,
on a whim.
I spied a fallen leaf, left from Autumn, and picked it up, examining it..."not all things have to
be perfect to be pretty" I thought to myself, only it didn't sound like me. Again, holding it
in my hand, I closed my eyes and came up with a short chant....wind no more, calm as
before...(there was a breeze in the air)...over and over, I chanted this, thinking, I can do
this. I am a Witch....after a few repititions of this, the wind died and I looked to my hand
again at the leaf.
I stared at it on my palm, smiling...now, to try something else....if I can stop the wind for a
moment or two, can I also bring it back? winds of the seas, I call to thee, take this leaf
from the hand you see....after a few repititons of this, it worked. The wind only blew around
me to move the leaf from my hand.
unbelievable! I thought to myself...not wanting to get a big head over it, and seeing that I
was alone and all was peaceful and quiet, I meditated, deep breaths in....I feel the + going in
my body and filling my being....and out....Go away - thoughts and actions....I went inside
myself and saw my Guardians....Wolf. I'm not going to go into the conversation he had with
me, but I will say this. I have a better outlook on things now. All I had to do was Open my
Eyes and See.
I am a Witch....as always I'll be, not for anyone else I am but me.
"The rules state: ‘Those females born of the Mystic are Young Ones until
they conceive their first child, or turn twenty-one. Then, and only then, are
they considered Mystics.’” She paused, explaining. “It’s different for male
Mystics, called Wizards. You’ll learn that later. Anyway, from any Mystic's
birth, the powers are weak, and they only have the five basic powers of
telepathy, clairvoyance, empathy, premonition and telekinesis. When a live
birth occurs from a Mystic female, such as in your case, your powers are
heightened to unlimited proportions and you’re called an Elder. It would be
up to you to learn how to use them to your utmost advantage. However, such
as in my own case, without the live birth taking place, the basic powers
aren't as developed."
Clairvoyance -- power to "See" beyond normal senses, such as Auras on objects, visions of
past events and places not already known. The Grand Magus' strongest power.
Empathy -- power to "Feel" or "Sense" beyond normal senses, feelings, emotions, and fears
hidden deep within the soul. This is my strongest power.
Healing -- power to "Heal" any kind of wound, inner or outer, emotional or physical, using
"Mystic Force" to "probe" inside the body, mind and soul of another and focus on the
problem. Very complex, for "Healing" is a clump word for all Healing Arts.
Telepathy -- power to "Read" someone's mind, and send messages without verbal words.
Eye contact and simple gestures go along with it.
Telekinesis -- power to "Move" objects using only your mind. Another form of this is
pyrokinesis, the power to use fire with only a thought.
Photographic Memory -- power to "See" visions of things as they happen. This happens
often for pairs of twins, for example.
Premonition -- power to "ForeSee" the future, in visions.
ShapeShifting -- easy concept. the power to "Shift" your form into anything you like. I
usually take the form of either a Dragon, a Wolf, or a DragonWolf, but I am not limited to
these.
I am a writer as well, writing my books and stories. My main magickal characters are called
Mystics. The women are Sisters while the men are Wizards. The main character, Young
Guardian Bonnie (yes, after me, and I'll explain why in a minute), is an Ancient Mystic, with
great powers immeasurable.
She is also who I want to be, at least who I used to want to be. Young Guardian of the
Dream World....who is me, of course, only better and more powerful....her 'role' in the
stories is to be a Guardian Angel-type Mystic to those in the Realm of Dreams I call
Dreamers (people in their waking lives, only asleep) when she patrols there.
The Mystics have five basic powers from birth, which I believe I have in some amount.
Empathy (duh), Clairvoyance (another duh), Telepathy (working on it), Premonition
(sometimes!) and Telekinesis (I would only wish!)
Getting to the Realm of Dreams now, and the link it has with Animal Magick. (Realm of
Dreams as in my stories, that is).
I have Ted Andrews' book, "Animal Magick," and use it not only for Magickal workings, but
my writing as well. Because in the Realm of Dreams, there are magical animals called
Companions. Different species of different races of animal-human hybrids that live there
and keep Dreamers Young and Elder happy and out of harm. Well, going on, I'll say that I
also have DJ Conway's book "Mystical, Magickal Creatures," along with a lot of other
magickal books that have helped me, not only in my writing but my Magickal workings.
Before I even thought of myself as a Witch or a Mystic, I was just me, with these abilities
that God gave me...only then I thought of them as curses....now, I know better. One dream I
remember having was of when I was working on the beginning of the Dream World
Chronicles...my Katherine (balinese cat) character had to have a love interest in order for
the story to continue. Well, I thought of a wolf, immediately. Ever since, I've been in love
with wolves.
Once the stories were underway in my mind and on paper, the characters were getting
interesting...and really opening up my way of thinking.
If I can make my characters do all this cool magic stuff, why can't I do it as well?
Getting back to the Animal Magick books, I have had over the years many Guardians-Guides
on my Path. Those that stuck in my mind, I used later in my books, letting them speak for
themselves through me and on paper. a Cat, a Wolf, a Raven, a Unicorn, and a Dragon were
my Guides that later became characters.
Katherine, the balinese, was one of them. She was the first, to get me out of my shyness
and help me thru childhood beatings and life. Wolf, her canine love (had to twist it up, and it
worked!), was a guide in many dreams and workings of my own...he's a Timber Wolf. Lord
Guardian O'Dell, the Unicorn, was always there with me, guiding me, along with my Guardian
Dragon Cyrix, teaching me the ways of the Young Witch. The Raven is a new one I learned
about in a past-life reading. I didn't know much about them (there are two) except that
they were like Odin's ravens, Hugnin and Mugnin, Thought and Memory.
All those memories and places I'd written about were real. And I would come to incoporate
them deep in my Spiritual Path one way or another.
This is where my story gets interesting, and my life and Path lead me back to a time of long
ago, of a place I'd written in the stories called the Dragon Lands. A Path that led me to my
true-name of Adellandra Dranna Dratianos and my true-mate, Draconis.
Lord Draconis Vilinos Dratianos is the Emperor of the Dragon Nations. When I met him, I
was my Lady Guardian self, and fighting with a piece of my nemesis Orthos. He became my
friend first, then my brother as I found that Dracora, the Countess of the Dragon Lands,
was his younger sister. As the days went on, we became more. I began to have feelings for
him once he declared his eternal love for me. I started to turn to him for anything my heart
desired, between boredom, when I was upset, questions about my true-self and anything I
could think of. I turned to him, and he to me.
We are now mated, and he is teaching me a new Path that mingled with the rest. One that I
and finding quite intriguing, but darker than my Lighter Path. Draconian, magick of the Old
Ways in their truest form, balancing. Now I am For Balance is Always the Key to All.
There's a lot about me and my kind of Craft I practice. I've forgotten a lot, but then, I'm
remembering a lot more everyday, like a stream that leads to the river which leads to an
ocean called my Magickal Memories.
"Live Strong, Live Free, Live in Peace" -- Motto of Mal'estar, Empire of the Dragon Nations
Creation Stories:
A Few collected Creation Stories. One from the Ancient Mystics and the other from Scott
Cunningham, a late Pagan Author. Others will come in time, as they're known.
Before time was, there was The One; The One was all & all was The One.
And the vast expanse known as the Universe was The One, all-wise, all-
pervading,
all-powerful, eternally changing.
And Space moved. The One molded energy into twin forms equal but
opposite, fashioning
the Goddess and God from The One and of The One.
The Goddess & God stretched and gave thanks to The One, but darkness
surrounded them.
They were alone, solitary save for The One.
So they formed energy into gases and gases into suns and planets and moons;
They
sprinkled the Universe with whirling globes and so all was given shape by the
hands of the
Goddess and God. Light arose and the sky was illuminated by a billion suns.
and the
Goddess and Gods, satisfied by their works, rejoiced and loved, and were
one.
From their union sprang seeds of life, and of the human race, so that we
might achieve
incarnation upon the Earth.
The Goddess chose the Moon as her symbol, and the God the Sun as his
symbol to remind
the inhabitants of Earth of their fashioners.
All are born, live, die and are reborn beneath The Sun and Moon; all things
come to pass
thereunder, and all occurs with the blessings of The One, as has been the
way of existence
before time was.

Code of Chivalry:
The Code of Chivalry was the Rule of the Knights in the Middle Ages, who were formally
sworn to uphold it as the first true Champions of Justice. It was said to have been first
established by King Arthur for the Knights of the Round Table. Here are its ten most
important rules.
1: Magick is real
2: Know yourself
3: The best way to predict the future is to create it.
4: Question authority
5: Magick is both an art and an experimental science
6: Be careful of what you do or say
7: Intention controls Results
8: Don't invoke what you can't banish
9: Always consider the options
10: The job isn't done until you've put away the tools and cleaned up the mess
11: Keep silent regarding a Magickal work for 24 hours, lest your analysis create doubt,
therefore weakening the Intention that binds your spell
LDRSHIP Stands for Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selflessness, Honor, Integrity and
Personal Pride:
L: Loyalty – Loyalty to those you serve and those who serve you. No one wants a two-faced
rat on their team. Nor do they want one in their Circle.
D: Duty – To your power, you have the duty of keeping it in control. Of learning it, watching
it grow, and controlling all aspects of it. Duty could also be to your Coven/Friends/Family
R: Respect – Everyone deserves respect. Respect for their beliefs is a main key. “Golden
Rule” moments.
S: Selflessness – act selflessly, without being told or without wanting anything in return for
what you do.
H: Honor – Honor the Gods/Goddess, yourself and each other.
I: Integrity – moral codes, and living by them.
P: Personal Pride – have pride in yourself, your work, and whatever you do; just don't let it
go to your head.
The Oaths:
Herein Lies all the Oaths I have taken, so far. Those Easiet to remember, from the Ancient
Mystic to the Blood-Oath to bind two together in blood, and last, the Crusader of the
Realms Oath. *my personal favorite*
The Blood-Oath:
I first thought of this when I was a child. I used this to bind Aaron "The Unicorn" and his
twin "Amethyst Fairy" to me before I left the Orphanage. My Ancient Mystic blood gave
them the Unicorn Magic they are now known for, and also gave them official Mystic status
among the Family. I also used this to share my Mystic Healer's power with my twin Adarra
*Then called Jenni*, when she needed it most. I now use it for every blood-binding I do.
Dagger in hand, cut into each the skins of those that will be bound, so a thin
line of blood seeps through. Clasp together hands, saying the following for
each.
Collections:
No Book of the Light would be complete without certain collected works. The Charges of
the God, Goddess, Dark God and Dark Goddess; Magickal Properties of Color, The Wheel of
the Year, Witches Go Round In Circles, just to name a few.
I am the joy of the awakening of the spring, the sadness of death and
passing, the brightly blooded blade of the hunt, I give to thee your
emotions, love, anger, peace, hope...all these are my gifts to thee as you and
I worship She who is my consort and handfasted companion and the Mother
of All.
Wherever the forest grows dark and powerful, wild and free , shall you find
me, and I will heed your call if you utter it for I am the guardian of all that
is , all that was and all that might yet be. My antlers and my blade are ever
sharp as I watch over you .
I shall join you at your dancing and merrymaking for I am the Lord of the
Dance and the light within darkness, and my passion has remained untamed
since the dawn of time and will so remain.
You may worship me by giving thanks to that which has died to feed you, by
remembering your animal nature on the dark nights and letting the call of
the wild be heard by you still, whenever you stand, enthralled by the beauty
of the setting sun or gazing down from a mountain peak you give thanks to
me and She who is my eternal partner.
~~Shadowdancer~~
Whenever you have need of me, once in the month and better it be when the
moon is full, gather together in some secret place and adore the spirit of me
who am queen of all witches. There shall you assemble, you who wish to learn
all sorcery, yet have not won its deepest secrets; to you I will teach things
as yet unknown. And you shall be free from slavery; and as a sign that you
are truly free you may be naked in your rites; and you shall dance, sing,
feast, make music and love all in my praise. For my law is love unto all things.
Keep pure your highest ideal, strive ever towards it; let naught stop you or
turn you aside.
For mine is the secret door that opens upon the land of youth, and mine is
the cup of the wine of life, and the Cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the Holy
Grail of immortality. I am the gracious Goddess, who gives the gift of joy
unto the heart of man. Upon Earth I give the knowledge of the spirit
eternal. Beyond death I give peace, freedom. I demand no sacrifice, for I
am the mother of all living, and my love is poured out upon the Earth. I, who
am the beauty of the green earth, the white moon among the stars, the
mystery of the waters and the desire of the heart of man, call unto your
soul. Arise and come unto me for I am the soul of nature which is life to the
universe.
Let my worship be in the heart that rejoices; for all acts of love and
pleasure are my rituals. Let there be beauty and strength, power and
compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence within you. And you
who think to seek for me, know that seeking and yearning shall avail you not,
unless you know this mystery; if that which you seek, you find not within,
then you will never find it without. For behold, I have been with thee from
the beginning; and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.
Come to me at the Dark Moon -- see that which can not be seen, face the
terror that is yours alone.
Swim to me through the blackest oceans to the center of your greatest
fears-- the Dark God and I will keep you safe.
Scream to us in terror, and yours will be the Power to Forbear.
Think of me when you feel pleasure, and I will intensify it, until the time
when I may have the greatest pleasure of meeting you at the Crossroads
Between the Worlds.

Sabbats - Eight Days of Power in the Pagan Religion.
Outside my front door, the yellow-crocus and snowdrops are blooming now.
And the wrens are flying to my window box, wondering if it would make a
good home; they know, like we do, that February is a time of renewal. Let
this period of change inspire you to refresh your mind and your body with a
health-boosting ritual. To start, on your altar place a white candle in the
center, then light it and say:
“I light this candle to renew my spirit.”
Thank the candles, and extinguish them. Now you’re ready for the season of
light to return.
Warning Spell
From Eileen Holland’s The Wicca Handbook. This is a great way to relieve stress about a
certain someone who's been pissing you off lately. Great for Karma, too, as it doesn't go
against the “Rede”.
Blood turn black and flesh turn blue
I will curse you if you force me to
By the left hand and the unclean food
I’ll curse your eyes, I’ll curse your lies
I’ll call down a plague of flies
Blood go black and flesh go blue
Evil from me and back to you
My soul clean and yours on fire
Mess with a witch and get burned, liar!
When you’ve finally a chosen a magickal name for yourself, you should write
it into the following spell (and in your Magickal Journal). Then, stand in front
of a mirror, look yourself in the eye, and say:
chorus:
earth and water, air and fire
mold thy power to my desire
earth and water, air and fire
mold thy power to my desire
chorus

Wiccaning:
– from BOS CD-ROM, by Sapphire
On the first night after a baby is born, or on the same night that the birth
takes place, the mother or father should take the infant out under the
stars. The child should first be held up to the sky, saying:
Place the child on the ground, hands under the head, briefly, saying:
One should then clasp the child close, reveling over the ritual and future
with that child.
A chant usually used for focus and asking for aide when needed. This Spell
wasn't used in the Dream Realm Chronicles anywhere. Repeated at the end
three times, each last line different.
Mystic's might,
Pure delight.
Show me the path
Which is right.
May be rough,
May be long,

Call to Power
-- Adella DragonStar
Hands place firmly on the ground, fingers spaced evenly out, close your eyes
and imagine a power of light flowing from the earth to you, and a power of
dark leading from you to the earth… the former would be for the good
energies back into you and the latter would be from the bad energies flowing
out of you to be reused in the earth in another form. As you do this, say the
following…
“I call upon the Earth and say, this is power, this is my way,
“I call upon the Earth and see, this is power, this is me.”
Continue chanting under your breath, then aloud as each repetition of the
chant is called. Until you feel refreshed and anew, and need grounding food
to rejuvenate any unused energies.

As above...
...so below.
Start with the "Dragon's Meditation" from D.J. Conway's "The Celtic Dragon
Tarot"
Get comfortable, take deep breaths, concentrating on your breathing.
In your mind, envision yourself in a peaceful valley, at the edge of a cliff
looking down on the glistening waters below. Throw all cares and worries into
the river/ocean, turning your back on them once finished. They're gone from
your mind, and no longer exist. In front of you is your Guardian Dragon,
waiting for your call. Now that your mind is focused and clear, ask the
following:
Let your Guardian Dragon show you the way in your mind, or open your eyes
and let it show you in your life.
There are three paths marked on the ground. One, to the far left is barely
noticible, not very clearly drawn in the dirt. The middle one is beaten and
worn, it would seem a favorite path for many to take. The one on the right is
covered in leaves and mud, but still there. You are in the middle,
contemplating which one to take when you hear a rustling behind you.
"There are many roads traveled, and many that still need to be." The dragon
says. "Follow the path of intuition and let it be your guide."
The dragon shakes its head. "You will not learn unless you open your eyes to
that which is about you. I'll guide you to the answer you seek."
The first place the dragon takes you is to the middle of the forest.
It's a clearing, where no trees have been for centuries it would seem. In the
middle of this clearing is a single sapling, a young tree. You jump off the
dragon's back to investigate. Once seeing the sapling up close, you see it was
recently planted, for dirt was still around the fragile little tree's roots.
"Tell me how it survives." The dragon asks of you.
"The sun shines on it, giving it light, the rain falls upon it, giving it
nourishment, the earth shelters it, mothering it, and the trees around it
give it shelter and shade, protecting it from the elements."
"Aha!" The dragon laughs. "The elements. Strange things, elements. You,
young one, have just learned about the Earth. Hop aboard and I'll show you
more."
Again, you mount the dragon's back and prepare to fly. In midair, it flaps its
massive wings.
"What's more?" The dragon asks. "What do you SEE? Open your eyes, young
one and SEE."
"And?" It prods.
"The stars, the trees reaching for the sun. What more?"
The dragon laughs and jerks as it plummets to the ground below. Before it
can crash, it lifts up and soars to the sky again.
"Feel that?" The dragon asks. "That is Freedom! Freedom of flight, minds,
everything around you is free. There are no limits in the skies. It has no
beginning and no end."
The dragon slows its flight as it leads you to a river. It descends and takes a
drink.
"Good start." The dragon said, nodding. "Anything else you can think of?"
"It houses all sea creatures, feeds plants and animals alike, relaxing to listen
to, and shows our reflections on the surface."
The dragon said. "Wonderful observations. For a start. Now you will see
what fire is like."
The dragon takes you to the skies again, to a forest fire. Not very large, but
enough to do some damage.
"What happened?"
"A hunter left the bonfire going when he left. He believed it would smother
itself out." The dragon explains. "What can you tell me by this display?"
"Fire is fickle. It can destroy, yet leave in its path a new beginning. It can be
dangerous if not handled correctly. There are a lot of things I see by this
display, but there's more to it than that."
"It's warm and inviting, lets you see in the dark, and kills bacteria when
cooking food."
"Yes."
The dragon takes you where you began, at the opening to the forest of
trees and the three paths in the ground. As you dismount, the dragon tells
you the following.
"Each path is different, yet its all the same. It's not the destination that
matters, it's the journey. The choices you make impact your life and how you
live it. Knowing this, do you have any questions as I leave you?"
The dragon disappears, and you walk the path your intuition pulls you.
The scene disappears from your mind and you open your eyes and take a
breath. Now, how do you feel?
Do: with thoughts of the result in your mind, light it and say:
Next, with the smoking incense, make the Pentagram over the subject while
saying these words:
Place the smoking stick of incense into its holder next to the subject's bed.
Thank the Gods for their help.
With the divination tool in hand, close your eyes and imagine it surrounded
by a white light of energy. Keep that in mind as you chant:
Holding the image in your mind, open your eyes and continue with the
divination.
Mirror image stares back at me....this is what I think when I see the silver in
my own eyes.
Half-Chaos Chant:
Black as Night, Bright as Day
Banish Half the Light Away
Though I'll have no Heart or Soul
Let Half the Chaos take Control
First off, I don't claim to know everything about anything, let along anything about
everything else. I just am. As of today, this is my view of the four elements, plus one. Later,
I may (and probably will) look at this again and burst out laughing, think...WTF was I
thinking!? But for now, quickly I'll go over what I know NOW.
Earth to Air, Fire to Water, Akasha the Spirit of All... Five Elements are the basis for all
live on earth. Each impacting each other.
Earth
Plainly, the very planet we live on, the very 'womb' we came from and where existance is
nothing without. But what do Witches mean by Earth? The Mother or All, who Nurtures.
She is Nature, in all Her Wonder and Fury. And that's just on a good day!
Air
Winds and Skies, Air blows, flows, who knows? It carries, warms, cools, sends, descends,
transcends (okay, enough 'sends' words...). The air is what we breathe, sure, but what else
is it for? Lingering scents are carried to our noses through the air...but that's not what
most Witches mean by Air.
Fire
Fire is.
Those are just a few stanzas I can think of that help me describe to
you what I believe Fire is to me, on my level anyway.
Water
Akasha
The Spirit is one and All...the Center of being, this spiritual essence of all beings that live
on earth...the very life of us. Some think of spirit as ghosts, those beings who have passed
on to the Summerlands, or those not able to find their way 'home'....others think spirit is
our own soul-spirit. They're right. All of them.
Ishanar Reborn!
The Charms I wear around my neck are empowered by the Light of the
Moon. They're cleansed by each of the Elements and left in the Moonlight
overnight.
"Lady Luna, I call to you, come and cleanse these charms with your magic,
for strength and protection."
Kneel and meditate, with charms at your chest. Imagine taking the Moon's
Magic into you and your charms, a bright white light surrounding you.
Rise and set the charms in an open window closest to the glow of Lady Luna.
open the doors for him to see, that all he wished to be is with me.
Let life's own tales be told somewhere else, and lead his loving arms to me..
Be he near or be he far, he will see me so soon together we are.....
In dreams no more, in reality, this spell is done, so mote it be!
Materials:
Tarot: Aces of each suit, and any card which may help in what to say and
bring to the message.
Picture of the loved one.
Wand
Start by doing the usual "sweeping" out negative energies, then opening of
the Circle, chanting a rhyme of your own making, or even the Mystic's
Rhyme. Place the picture on a smooth surface, preferably the floor.
Surround it with the Aces in their respective directions for their element.
(See above). With four other cards, close the circle around the picture,
saying and thinking:
I send the power of (card) to you, so you may (what does it do)
If need be, use another card to give yourself strength or any other help you
need in order to send the message. Tap each card, all eight, with your wand,
thinking of the loved one and sending each separate message. Go clockwise,
for positivity. After that, hold your wand in your hand, close your eyes, think
of the loved one and send the message. Be sure to keep the picture of the
loved one in your mind. When finished, tap again, clockwise, saying:
For each. To make it more powerful, if you wish, you can stare at the picture
and think the message to them. As you stare, your wand is touching it.
So Mote it Be!
Close the circle with the Mystic's Spell (or whatever rhyme you wish to use
to close the circle.) Be sure to go in the opposite direction to close it.

Jasmine or Patchouli, Tarot Cards; The World, The Magician (or, your self-
card), The Sun. Tiger's Eye stone, Balancing Quartz/Smokey Quartz stones.

Money.
"Hail to the Goddess, I summon your assistance."
To Do: (Raise hands to the sky, close your eyes and imagine your desired
quest.
Light the Incense)
To Say: "As I bring the flame to scent, so I bring its power to me."
To Do: (While the incense is still flaming, light the Green Candle)
To Say: "As I bring the flame to candle, so I bring its power to me."
To Say: "As I bring the flame to candle, so I bring its power to me."
To Do: (Wave still-flaming, pass over all three stones, Left to Right, circular
3 times each. Blow the incense out, placing in a safe place between the Green
and White Candles. Close your eyes, wand hand to the sky for the first
sentence. Open them again, saying each as you snuff out the candles. (Don't
blow, disrespectful!)
To Say: "Thank you, Goddess, I send you home in peace and love.
"Thank you, God, I send you home in peace and love.
To End: "On that note, by powers of three, this spell is done, so mote it be!"
Before you begin, write the most regretted thoughts of the previous year on
the index card.
First, set up the mini-altar in a safe place away from flammable objects. As
you set up, think about what you desire for the coming year. Place the candle
on the mini-altar, the 12-Months Stones surrounding it in a circle. Cast the
circle as usual and light the candle. Pass the cleansed stone of the necklace
over the fire, saying:
"As the new year progresses, may this stone give me ______."
Fold the card in fours before burning it in the bowl. For safety, you can set
the bowl in the sink before you burn it. That way, you can drown the fire
with water.
Close the Circle. Call on the Ancients, asking for their assistance, guidance
and blessings. Meditate, focusing on what you want to accomplish. Light the
candle. With candle=s flame, light (and bind) incense. Mix salt in the water
(bind).
Thank the Ancients for their assistance, guidance and blessings before you
open the circle.
Sword Cleansing Spell
-- Adella DragonStar
(Holy water dip - salt-water -- with two fingers, each time, drawing the
pentacle on three different spots of the sword. The tip, the blade, and the
shaft.)
(as you wipe it dry with the towel, say the following:)
The two were one once more, as their souls were balance
Hers was the Love unlike any other, and he was in a trance
She could no longer be with anyone but Him, her heart desired
The Chaos, the Darkness, of His Dragon's Fire within
He could no longer love anyone but her, his soul reawakened
To the Love, the Light, the Spirit she'd partaken
Distant drummers play their song, in hopes someone will sing it.
There is a beat that guides our path, we only have to seek it.
In the distance lays a common dream, where everyone is nice.
There is no prejudice or hate, and are no deaths each night.
Distant singers sing a song, in hopes for a better day.
It is the song of life, to teach our children, so they can learn and play.
In the distance, there are dreams and goals, to be found, tried, and true.
For life is a lesson we must live, and cannot ever be through.
Until our Summerland day arrives, we continue to reach for the stars.
The best way to get through life is to be exactly who you are.
No one can seek your inner Self, but you and you alone.
Let the elements be your guide, and may they become your own.
In the distance, chanting is heard, from a Solitary soul
Another lifestyle to unearth, another way to reach a goal.
Magick is all around us, inside our mind and spirit.
May the truth be spoken only in tongue, and the Deities come when they
hear it.
A Witches ritual begun, the Moon in her glorious power.
It is the mid, it is the night, therefore the Witching Hour.

Too many things around me
So many people surround me
Feeling closed in
Where do they end and I begin?
My heartbeats quicken
I feel it echoing in my ears
Surrounded by darkness
Where's the Light?
Help me for I'm lost
In a box of nothingness
Deep inside my own mind
There goes my heart again
Louder, stronger, quicker, harder
Beating in my ears,
pumping blood through my body
Must get away from here
Too many to Listen, to Feel, to Hear
A little voice deep in my mind
Speaks up, “relax.”
“Take a deep breath, count to ten,
“In through the nose and out again.”
I close my eyes and obey
Taking my time and mind away
Heart slows to steady rhythm
In, Out, Breathe, Relax
The Light, there it is, as clear as day
In my mind I walk to it
In, Out, Breathe, Relax
Around the
Beltane's Glowing fire
Chanting is heard,
Drumming is felt. The
Earth, She rises higher and higher
Flowing
Green Goddess of
Havens dealt
Incandescent
Jewels of
Kingdom's named.
Loving arms of the
Mother's Embrace
Nature's seeking
Oceans Fame
Prince and Princess for
Queen and King's Grace
Raising their voices higher and higher
Sing to the skies
Touching, Embracing,
Underneath the moon's glow
Various voices joined in Choir
With heart's love, the Beltane's fire
Xylophone echoes purest desires
Youth and blessing, raising
Zenith's light.
Ancient Mystic Spells and Chants:
What Book of Light from an Ancient Mystic would be complete without selections from the
Ancient Mystic Spells I used in the Dream Realm Chronicles? Aye, I wrote every one of
these, but only performed a few in this Shell. I have said or performed most in the Realms,
so don't ask anymore! I've tweaked them here to be universal, so they could be used by
anyone.
Draw a circle in the ground with the Magics Finger-Touch. Chant three times, in the center,
looking at your feet –
Mahl-hik Let Me Be
Mystic Magic, Set Me Free
Slowly, raise your arms to the air, as these words escape your lips –
Call thrice this chant, eyes closed to the world around you, arms raised in a ‘v’ –
Mystic Magic,
Set Me Free (Colors of dust)
May the Forces (Allow the Forces)
Watch O’er Me. (To Keep Watch O’er Us)
If going to the Dream World with the Circle, call out in the Provinces Mystic language:
Moy Yam Tor Ham Day (thrice)
Mahl-Hik Del Da Lorr
Kah Den Fret A Tsee
Mystic Magic, Come Unto Me!
Also:
Guardian O’Dell,
grant me the power
Help me survive
these mortal hours.
Dream Chant
Traveling Spell
Outer-Realm to Outer-Realm Traveling
Destruction Spell:
for Djinn Fear-Wraiths
I am Free
I am Clear
Be destroyed
By your Own Fear!
“Mystic's Rhyme”
This is what we are talking about when we speak of the “Mystic's Rhyme”
Unforgotten Spell
I didn't know what to call this one, but since it undoes the Forgetfulness Spell's effects, I
called it “Unforgotten”.
Ancient's Spell
This is the spell Grand Magus used to bind every Mystic to herself and me. Very potent
because it was used with the Dream Realms' Sphere.
