Time:
Disseminating or Waning moon (if moon is not disseminating or waning, restrain yourself from candy and unecessary goodies til the moon phase is right. This is not, after all, an emergency spell.) Sunday Evening
 

Tools:
a red candle
athame (or pin)
anointing oil or Magickal water
a citrine, which is a good stone for losing weight
 

Working:
Inscribe the red candle with the symbols for Health/Healing and losing weight. Anoint the candle. Light it, cup your hands around the flame and say:

    "As the flickering flame burns,
    health and balance to my body returns!
    So mote it be!"

Take up and rub the citrine crystal between your hands. Fast, fast. Maybe a power chant seems appropriate. This is to get the crystal "fired up". When the crystal is warm, close your projective hand around it (traditionally the right hand, but you may feel differently).  Visualize yourself as you wish to become - stronger, slimmer, healthier, more powerful, more beautiful. See yourself eating better and exercising more. See yourself fit into old clothes. Send all these images into the crystal. When the crystal feels as if it is brimming with these positive thought forms, open your eyes and gaze into the flame of the candle. Feeling the energy from the crystal, fire off the same thought forms into the flame of the candle.  This will send your wishes out to be fulfilled. You are done. Let the candle burn itself out! It is important that it gets to send all that energy off. If you cannot let the candle burn itself out right now, extinguish it and repeat the above formula when you relight it. Bury the stump from the candle when done, or throw it in a body of water.

TIP!
Take out the citrine and gaze at it while visualizing the positive thought forms you sent into it during the spell. This will increase the effect of the spell. Light a small red candle and gaze through the crystal at the flame. Or just cup your hands around it (not too close now, I don't want to be blamed for any burns...)
and draw in the healing and encouraging energy. And whenever you feel tempted to take an unecessary snack or buy candy, think of the citrine...
 

WEIGHT LOSS SPELL #2

The first rule of thumb is NO SHOPPING IN THE SNACK AISLE!! These spells are intended to reinforce and empower the path you have already chosen to lose weight.  The first spell is to be used in conjunction with weight loss plans that use diet and/or exercise as a means to slim down. The second is a spell to increase determination and willpower for sticking to any plan and will help you meet your desired ends. It is best to work both of these spells from the full moon to the waning moon, in other words, during the time of decrease. As the crescent grows smaller so will you.
 

POTATO SPELL

Ingredients:
Anise Seeds or Licorice
Potato

Potatoes are ruled by the moon and endowed with the properties of protection and compassion. Working with them counteracts the tendency to be unkind to yourself or drive yourself too hard in your quest to lose weight. You want to ensure that you are not harming your body in the process. Begin by peeling a potato and carving into the surface the number of pounds you want to lose. Continue carving the potato into a human form. Making potato poppets is a very old form of magic known as sympathetic magic. Dating back to Paleolithic times, sympathetic magick is a form of ritual based on the theory that an operation or spell performed on the likeness or image of a real person will produce the same results on the person as well. The doll or poppet becomes you.  Place a lock of your own hair on the head of the potato to create a magickal link between you and the doll. Using a knife, mark the potato doll with x's in all the places you want to slim down.  Create a mouth using anise or licorice seeds. (Anise is a natural appetite suppressant. You can also pop some into your own mouth.) Keep the potato doll until you have reached your goal. It is also recommended to work this spell weekly and set a different goal for each week.
 

HOT STUFF SPELL

Ingredients:
Pepper Sauce
Celery Stalks or Carrots
Honey

Take a celery stalk and drizzle a small amount of honey in it's center, along with three drops of pepper sauce. As you eat the stalk visualize yourself being disciplined about food and exercise,and sticking to your general weight loss plan. Also see yourself feeling full and not craving sweets.  As the celery becomes smaller and smaller visualize yourself doing the same. Celery is a diuretic and a good diet food. Honey is an appetite suppressant and reduces the urge to eat sugar.  Pepper is a commanding spice and can help you to control your unhealthy urges. Ruled by planet Mars,  the fiery taste of hot peppers can be used as a mild controlling and compelling formula.  Do not eat more than three stalks a day. Carrots can also be used, as they will increase your drive toward accomplishing tasks. They are ruled by Mars and their orange color
represents the color of action.

WEIGHT LOSS CANDLE SPELL:
 

1 white candle
mrryh incense

Hold the candle in smoke til it smells like the myrrh. Then take a fire sterilized needle (straight pin), and etch the name of person, then etch "will lose (amount) pounds in a heathly way". Then burn the candle all the way down.

SIMPLE WEIGHT LOSS SPELL:

You need a clear quartz, smokey quartz, or any blue or green stone

Hold between palms of hands until hands are throbbing and stone feels hot with energy and heat while saying:

    "Hail to the gods and goddesses of the earth,
    please help this stone keep me on my quest to lose weight.
    So shall it be!"

After your stone is hot and your hands are throbbing (energy), visualize yourself as thin as you would like to be, and charge the stone. Keep the stone on you at all times unless you are asleep.

From: "Ocean Harmony"  Goddess2@home.com

Proceed at sunset on any night of the waning moon You will need a yellow candle with a holder, rose petals from a white or
silver rose, lavender oil, 3?5 small garnets, a palmsize carnelian or turquoise stone, a small jar with a lid or a resealable plastic bag(gie), and a picture of yourself healthy.

1) Charge the candle with your desired goal and place in holder. As you light the candle, visualize yourself passing on second helpings, passing on snacks, smaller portions on your plate, and looking healthy and physically fit.
2) Charge the rose petals, oil, all stones.
3) Sprinkle petals around the base of the candle holder, again visualizing your desired self.
4) Place the charged garnets and a few drops of the charged oil into the jar/bag, Continue your visualization.
5) Pick up the petals and also place them in the bag, saying,

    "By this jar/bag of powered oil, petals, and stones, bring me the courage and help me to achieve my goal:
    not to eat or snack as much, and to become healthier!"

6) Visualize yourself becoming more physically fit and moving the weight on the scale to the left.
7) Rub the carnelian/turquoise stone on the picture of yourself.
8) Now rub the stone on yourself, visualizing yourself becoming the you in the picture, saying,

    " In no way will this spell cause me to suffer any adverse affects. So mote it be!"

9) Let the candle burn for about an hour longer, the snuff it out and put it away. Take it out an burn it any time you need some extra support.
10) Pin the picture up in the kitchen for "positive re?inforcement".
11) Carry the sealed jar/bag with you, and sniff the contents before meals. Also carry the carnelian/turquoise stone and rub it in the palm of your hand to avoid snacking.

BTW, I have found in my practice of this spell, that taking a petal out of the sealed jar (my preference) and floating it in a 8oz glass of warm water for about 5 minutes, then drinking the water about 5 minutes before sitting down to a meal, I take tremendously smaller portions. Offering to clear the dishes not only honors the others at your table, but gets you back into motion for that fitter healthier you.....

This mixes a little magic and a pinch of psychology

Outline the figure you want to have on a full length photo of yourself. Place the photo in a spot where you will see it often. On the first night of the full moon, snip a fragment of your excess weight from the photo and say:

"As the moon wanes, so may I decrease"

Repeat the procedure each night until the new moon appears.(And of course you are watching what foods you are eating) If you still have weight to lose at the end of the allotted time, start the spell again, with a new picture, at the next full moon.

Moon Vow for the Loss of Weight

When the moon shows cold and slender,
Stand beneath her starved light,
Wearing only white and silver?
Say, to wet her appetite,
I make my vow to fast until
This crescent Moon shines round and full;
While she waxes let me wane:
I must lose, that she may gain
While she grows, take silver wine
Silver wine, silver milk
And bread like snow, or linen fine,
And fish as clear as ice or silk?
But only these, and less of all
Than you would wish, to feed her well.

Spell for losing weight
Time: Disseminating or Waning moon (if moon is not disseminating or waning, restraint yourself from candy and unecessary goodies til the moon phase is right. This is not, after all, an emergency spell.) Sunday Evening
Tools:
a red candle
athame (or pin)
anointing oil or Magickal water
a citrine, which is a good stone for losing weight

Working:
Inscribe the red candle with the symbols for Health/Healing and Losing weight (shown below symbols were found in Scott Cunninghams Living Wicca). Anoint the candle. Light it, cup your hands around the flame and say:

    "As the flickering flame burns, health and balance to my body returns! So mote it be!"

Take up and rub the citrine crystal between your hands. Fast, fast. Maybe a powerchant seems appropriate. This is to get the crystal "fired up". I learned it from a teacher I had in religion (yes!! True!). It has always worked for me and my crystal?using friends. When the crystal is warm, close your projective hand around it (traditionally the right hand, but you may feel differently). Visualise yourself as you wish to become ? stronger, slimmer, healthier, more powerful, more beautiful. See yourself eating better and  exrcising more. See yourself fit into old clothes. Send all these images into the crystal. When the crystal feels as if it is brimming with these positive thoughtforms, open your eyes and gaze into the flame of the candle. Feeling the energy from the crystal, fire off the same thoughtforms into the flame of the candle. This will send your wishes out to be fulfilled. You are done. Let the candle burn itself out! It is important that it gets to send all that energy off. If you cannot let the candle burn itself out right now, extinguish it and repeat the above formula when you relight it. Bury the stump from the candle when done, or throw it in a body of water.

TIP!
Take out the citrine and gaze at it while visualising the positive thoughtforms you sent into it during the spell. This will increase the effect of the spell. Light a small red candle and gaze throught the crystal at the the flame. Or just cup your hands around it (not o close now, I don't want to be blamed for any burns...) and draw in the healing and encouraging energy. And whenever you feel
tempted to take an unecessary snack or buy candy, think of the citrine...

When the moon shows cold and slender,
Stand beneath her starved light,
Wearing only white and silver?
say to whet her appetite;
I make my vow to fast until
This crescent Moon shines round and full;
While she waxes, let me wane;
I must lose, that she may gain.
While she grows, take silver wine,
Silver water, silver milk,
And bread like snow or linen fine,
And fish as clear as ice or silk ?
But only these, and less of all
Than you would wish, to feed her well.
