Spell to Remove Negativity/Stop Gossip.

[osran]

The spells requires no tools ( as Witches need to be magickal on the go) and banishes unwanted negative energies that are building inside or around you. Egypt has the longest-running history of any culture. Deities rose and fell or where assumed into o ther deities over this incredible period of time. Selket ( or Serket ) was known as the Scorpion Goddess, and was usually depicted as entirely female ( not having an animal head, or in this case, a bug head). She wore a scorpion crown. For those of you who really into astrology, she even as her own fixed star, CorScorpionus ( also k nown as Antares), meaning the " Scorpion's Heart," and is located today at 9 degrees heralded the sunrise through her temples at the autumnal equinox about 3700 B.C.E. She was also known as the Watcher of the West--Autumn Equinox Star. Some reference to her in the twnty-first dynasty does give her the head of a lion, however that visage is normally given to Sekhment ( a different goddess ). The incantation of this spell primarily tells you of her responsibilities in the Egyptian pantheon; I've also found her to be very helpful when traveling, especially long distances, and in turning away bad weather. She is also very helpful when themoon or sun is in the astrological sign of Scropio, and she can be called on when other planets are in the sign of Scorpio that match her magickal intention. If you use her in this way, you will need to pay attention to your almanac; however, the following spell is for immediate action and doesn't require a vast amount of planning.

Cup your hands. Visualize a glowing ball of light growing in your palms. Whisper or think the following incantion in your mind.

Selket, Queen of Magick
sister of Mother Isis
guardian of Osiris
protector of the child-god Horus
She who binds the dead
and fashions the magick
great Scorpion Goddess of Egypt.
May foul words not sting me
may misdeeds fly from my day
may the light and enchantment
of love surround me and dispell all evil
from my heart, mind and soul.
So mote it be.

Cross your chest with your palms, visualizing positive energy entering your heart chakra. Take a deep breath and relax, then snap your fingers three times to break any remaining negative energy around you. The snapping noise will also seal the spell. When you return home, burn a stick of incense or make a small offering to represent your gratitude for her assisstance.


Blessed be.
