A spell to restore balance (By Obsidian)

Make a small Altar for each Element in it's Quarter (You can place a coloured cloth on the ground and use that as an Altar) , using the following as a guide to colours of Altar cloth, and items to represent the Elements:

Earth - South, browns, dirt, salt, rocks, stones, crystals.
Fire - North, red, candles, dragons, Sun symbols.
Water - West, blue, bowl or glass of water, mermaids, fish.
Air - East, white, incense, kites, balloons, angels and fairies.

Work out which of these Elements are creating the imbalance in your life, by using some of the examples below (or above):

Too much Fire: Anger, jealousy, hatred, too much passion.
Too much Air: Lack of attention, head in the clouds, not thinking.
Too much Water: apathy, lack of responsibility, too easy going.
Too much Earth: Stubbornness, feeling weighed down.

Not enough Fire: Weakness, cowardice, lack of passion.
Not enough Air: Unhappiness, loss of joy in life.
Not enough Water: Inability to change, not open to love.
Not enough Earth: Unstable, need for common sense.

When you have worked out which Elements are too active in your life and which need to be more active in your life, Starting from the Fire Altar, and working around anticlockwise, go to each Altar and at the weak ones say these or similar words:

"Element ......... I ask of you,
Bring me balance through and through.
Stronger in you, I need to be,
Grant your power in to me!"

At the strong ones say these or similar words:

"Element ......... I ask of you,
Bring me balance through and through.
Ease your influence on my life,
And protect me now from future strife!"

At the altar for the Elements you think are balanced, thank them for their influence in your life, and continue on to the next.

Love spell (By Obsidian)
Take a pen and paper, and list all the attributes you want in the perfect partner, and those you don't. For example, some traits you might like could be: Kind, Gentle, Affectionate, Loving etc. and some you don't want could be: Violent, Swearing, Smoking etc. Take as much time as you need to complete this. Remember not to list any physical attributes, as they are not important. When you have your list, read them to the Goddess, saying:

"My ideal partner is___(list good traits)_____,
My ideal partner doesn't ____(list bad traits)____.
Please send to me the man/woman who best suits me"

If the spell doesn't work, look at your list again, and work out if you left something out, or listed something that you don't feel as strongly about anymore. Also work through any fears, worries or anxiety you might have about relationships or issues from past relationships which could hinder your spell working. After you have completed the spell it is important to go places where you might meet people, as potential mates don't just drop from the sky!
