Animal Healing

A Brazilian spell from the depths of the Amazon used for healing livestock and pets, and additionally, for easing births of the same.

You will need:

A particle from the animal
  (a hair, feather, nail-clipping, etc)
      A small, stone jar
      A small stone
     A sterile needle
      A short beeswax candle--any color
     Spring water

Fill the jar halfway full with the water. Light the candle. While the candle is burning, repeat this invocation:

Great earth spirit, guardian of life, I implore you,
Turn your watchful eye to this creature that you love,
Bring forth from the sky above,
The healing power of the sun and air,
I trust this mission to your care.

Prick your finger with the sterile needle and squeeze a drop of your blood into the water. Next, put the stone and the particle from the animal into the jar. Now, take the candle and drop seven drops of wax into the water. Seven drops, no more—no less.

Extinguish the candle.

Place the candle, upside down (wick down), into the jar and place the jar in an area where it will receive the rays of the sun.

For births, this spell should be worked about a week before the birth is due.

Remember, as with any healing spell, they are designed to assist in the healing, but should never be used alone. Proper medical attention is vital and a licensed medical practitioner should always be consulted.
