Desperate times, ladies, call for desperate measures. No seriously, this is somehitng I have been thinking about doing for a very long time and now, the time is right. On the night of the Full Moon (the 7th), I will be doing a spell to aid in weight loss. Let's be clear...it's gonna be more like a dedication to doing all the right things to lose weight and being very mindful of my intent. I don't want to contract some wasting illness! Is anyone interested in joining me? I've been working on a chant/mantra to use. I'll post what I've got here and then y'all can give me your ideas. A poet I ain't!
Mother Moon, hear my plea
As you wane
I'll wane with thee.
Ummm, that's pretty much all I've got so far!! I swear, I had more all worked out the other day when I was walking but I so cannot remember any of it! GRRRR! I should carry around scraps of paper to scribble ideas on! Anybody want to add? Feel free to share!
Anyway, I plan to use a white taper cande and ritually mark it at intervals to represent a certain amount of weight to lose. I'm still toying with how much each mini-goal should be but the entire candle should be carved up to represent what you specifically want to lose. I'll probably do 5 pound increments, not sure I want to do it by 10s. The candle should be charged by the light of the Full Moon and then burnt a bit each day during the waning period which ends on November 1, as the New Moon starts on the 2nd. Cool, that coincides with Samhain fairly nicely. Of course, this does not mean you will reach yor goal by then. It just means that you will be re-affirming your intent every time you light the candle and say the chant. I'm also considering charging up my moonstone pendant with the same intent and wearing it to remind me.
I also think that an affirmation would be in order when you light the candle, like "I am strong, I am beautiful, I can prevail".
And, for the hard part, you have to actually work at losing, too. No sitting back, popping crisps and Pepsi and expecting magic to do all the work for you! I think that a vow made to the Goddess will be far more motivating than a vow made to the scale!
Anyone else want to join?
