I ask the Gods
To bless this child.
Grant them wisdom
And temperament mild.
A life full of love
And spiritual wealth.
May they never know hunger,
And have good health.
Mighty God and Gentle Goddess
Please oversee this child’s progress.
Peanut butter, peanut butter, hear my plea,
Smooth and creamy, come to me.
Crunchy too, tried and true,
I call for a jar (or maybe two!).
Peanut butter, peanut butter, no fuss or fight,
With jam and bread, you bring delight.
A simple pleasure, a treasure divine,
Let your presence always be mine.
Peanut butter, peanut butter, my daily cheer,
With each bite, bring comfort near.
Day or night, you’re my heart’s desire,
I summon you now—spread and inspire!
Instructions:
1. Hold a butter knife in hand as you recite the spell.
2. Visualize a bounty of peanut butter filling your kitchen.
3. Spread some on bread, savoring each bite, and enjoy the abundance summoned into your life!
For bringing autumn faster to your town. Best used while singing in a circle of deciduous trees, holding a burning candle in the right hand and nine acorns in the left.
“When the winds of fall
Answer to the summer call
And the breeze of winter awaits its turn
Behind the yellow-red leaves that burn
Answer me by writing
In the great wide open lands
With gourds and ghouls and ghosts aplenty
And I shall take your hand.”
