Spell for Common Sense
By the light of logic and the spice of wit,
Let common sense arise, and never quit.
With mustard seed and sage in hand,
Bring wisdom forth across the land.
Ingredients:
A pinch of mustard seed (for sharp thinking)
A sprig of sage (for wise counsel)
A clear glass of water (for clarity)
A yellow candle (for illumination)
A small mirror (for self-reflection)
Instructions:
Set the Scene:
Place the mustard seed and sage on your table. Light the yellow candle and set the glass of water beside it. Hold the mirror so you can see your reflection.
Focus Your Intent:
Take a deep breath and say:
"By seed and leaf, by flame and glass,
Let muddled thoughts and folly pass.
Grant me sense both sharp and true,
To see the world with a wiser view."
Infuse the Water:
Drop the mustard seed and sage into the glass of water. Swirl it gently, watching the ripples.
Speak the Spell:
"With every ripple, sense awakes,
With every breath, confusion breaks.
May I discern what's right and real,
And trust my gut in all I feel."
Seal the Magic:
Look into the mirror and say:
"Let common sense within me grow,
As above, so below."
Extinguish the Candle:
Blow out the candle, and let the water sit for a moment. When ready, pour it outside to let your wish take root in the world.
May your mind stay sharp, your heart stay wise, and your common sense never be in short supply!
