“I need three candles, one white to bring positive energy and healing, a black to expel negative energy and to banish the spellagainst me, and purple to increase my spirituality and intuition to separate from my body.”
I walked to my room and pulled out a box I had put together to have on hand so I could practise. I brought it out of the bedroom and Wendy and Toya dug into it, pulling out what I needed.
“What else?” Wendy dug through the box.
I looked at the book again on the list. “Angelica, belladonna, blessed thistle, feverfew for the box. And from the shopping bags we need basil, bay leaf. Thyme and the sea salt.” Toya went to the bags on the counter and within seconds I had everything I needed.
“Anything else?”
“Actually, in my kitchen drawer I have a barbeque lighter, and I need a bottle of distilled water from above the fridge.” I sat down and organized things in the order I needed to add them, and remember, I needed something to burn. “Oh, Toya, can you run to my printer and grab some white paper? I need something that will burn.” She nodded and ran out of the room while I finished.
Wendy came back with the lighter and water. “Why water? Seems counter intuitive.”
I laughed. “It is, but to seal the spell once I get back. I need untainted water.” She nodded as Toya came back with the paper.
“Walk us through whatever you're doing, so we know what to expect.”
I pulled the book into my lap. “I start off by lighting the candles and the paper in the bowl. I add in the sea salt first for earth, purification and grounding. Then I add in angelica for air, and to aid in my vision. Basil comes next, for fire and astral projection. Next is belladonna, and water for an extra boost in energy for my spell and protection.” The girls leaned in and we quickly went through the rest. “Blessed thistle for hex breaking, thyme for good luck, bay leaf for psychic powers, feverfew forprotection and to boost my spirit.” They nodded. “I have to focus on the fire and let it burn down but never out, so while I’m going you will need to feed the flames pieces of paper to keep the herbs going.”
“Okay.” Wendy gave a thumbs up and I wanted to laugh.
“I’ll say the spell, and my spirit will be free to move where I need it to.”
“And where do you need it to go?”
“I don’t really know. But the goddess told me to follow the power back to the caster and break the spell, or else my wolves weren’t going to make it much longer.”
“So this is just to find who is doing it?” Wendy grabbed the book and flipped through it. “How are you going to break it?”
“I don’t know yet. But if I can, I will give you a sign to add more thistle.”
“How is that going to help?”
“It helps break a hex and if I’m lucky, it will help.”
“And if it does, how will you come back?”
“I don’t know…” I looked at the two of them. “But that’s why I needed you guys.”
“What are we supposed to do?”
“I don’t know.” I lifted my shoulder. “But if I can find you in this life, then I’m sure I can find you in the spirit world.” I gave them a sad smile. “I have only had my friend Cass in my life, and she is my soul sister. I knew as soon as we met, we were meant to. I need you guys to know that you two…I felt the same way about. As soon as you sat next to me in the cafeteria, I knew I met you for a reason. To be friends with you. We were connected as soon as you sat down and decided to be my friend. Connected in a way that is soul deep.” The two nodded.
“Our wolves work together.” Toya closed her eyes and when she opened them, her wolf was there. “You are my Luna.” I reeled back at that confession.
“I can’t be. You are a Luna in your own right.”
“And yet, if you asked, I would follow you into the wilds and never return.” Her wolf faded from her eyes and I could see the recognition in her eyes. “I agree with her.”
“As do I.” I looked to Wendy to find Wyn staring back at me. “You are my Luna, my Alpha, my friend.” Wyn faded away, leaving both of my friends staring at me and me floundering at what to say. “We know where we stand, Amy.”
“And I think we know what to do.” Toya sat on my left, and Wendy on my right. “You can start now. We will bring you back.”
I settled and pulled the metal bowl closer. “Okay.”
“Wait!” Wendy jumped up and ran to the kitchen, leaving the two of us confused. She came back with a plate, leaving me even more confused. “For the candles to sit on.” She offered it as she settled back down next to me.
“Okay…” I put the plate behind the bowl. Wendy took an extra candle from the box and lit it. She dropped a few drops of melted wax onto the plate and used it to secure the white, black, and purple candles in place.
