House into home,
I raise this protective dome
within no negative may roam.
No need for a great tome
Burn a black candle
Til' it all be gone
Van Van oil with soapy foam
Sage like a fine tooth comb
Dragon's blood to drown all drones
Hang the besom with some bone
Call the ancestors with an invisible phone
No reason to work it alone
Ring the bell in ritual tone
Welcome the black bird's song
My house is now a home.

~ Charm (by Monica Crosson) to say as you sew your pillow closed:
Restful sleep come to me,
Release me from anxiety,
As I stitch, this spell is done
As I will it, let it harm none

Me and You, You and Me
Add red roses to some tea
Jasmine will do for a key
Cinnamon hot, the honeysuckle knot
Vanilla sweet, honey sweeter
But not the whole liter!
If without and in doubt
Ginger and sugar makes for a wicked pout'
Swirl these deosil as a tether
back the widdershins "Come you hither"
Periwinkle under the bed
with a rose quartz very well fed
Sandalwood or ylang ylang will get you all kinds of poo'tang
But powdered dogwood removes all falsehoods
Behind the bed curtain we do retrieve
Freely given and freely recieved
So mote it be
~Cizz
As Within, So Without
Boil some Holy for the Lout
Twig of Beech for Critic's snout
Put in Vervain to change the flout
Cherry or Plum for extra Clout
Sow Wild Oat to quench a drought
The Rose of Dog will help it sprout
A dash of Chicory for demanding pouts
The Vine will strangle a domineering slouch
Water of Rock removes the doubt
A wisp of Willow runs resentment Out
Grinding Populus will make it stout
Sage, Rue and Hyssop my three scouts
Heather and Violet for talkative Tout'
Honeysuckle releases past shouts
Eucalyptus soothes the ouch,
Lavender will sweeten one's couch
Stir the cauldron Deosil to strout,
back to Widderhins and it will spout
Heal the Energy before en route
Thank the spirits to bring this about.
Cizz ~
