There's a new moon in Cancer today. The moon rules Cancer, and Cancer rules the home. It's a perfect time for house protection and goals surrounding your family life. Here are a few tips and a rite for your BoS (Book of Shadows):
The moon rises at dawn and sets at sunset. For the best use of this energy, magick should be performed between dawn and sunset. This is not to say that you cannot work at night. However, to get the most punch for your magick, choose the correct timing. Also check the planetary hours to give added power to the working.
: New Moon workings can be done from the day of the new moon to 3 1/2 days after. Naturally, the closer you are to the new moon, the better your chances of success. Your work should manifest by the full moon or the next new moon. If it does not, repeat the working.
Things to work for include: Beauty, Health, Self-Improvement, Farms and Gardens, Job Hunting, Love and Romance, Networking.
Work on bringing abundance into your life. Picture the harmony you desire, the current needs you have. Make a mind movie about how you want both short-and long-term goals to manifest. Concentrate also on parts of yourself (body, mind, or spirit) that need regeneration.
I wrote this particular ritual well over a decade ago, and the style of the ritual is more of a Wiccan nature. Dragons represent strong allies and protective power. Feel free to print and use for your own home, and modify as you see fit.

Call upon the

Protector of our minds and spirits. I call upon the King of the Air
Dragons to attend this rite as a guardian, defender and participant. We bid you
Hail and Welcome!” (Light the East candle)
“Hail Great Dragon
of the South, whose crimson eyes pierce the bluest flames. Guardian of the
Fire, Protector of our bodies and child within us. I call upon the King of the Fire Dragons, to attend this rite as a guardian, defender, and
participant. We bid you Hail and Welcome!” (Light the South candle)
“Hail Great Dragon
of the West, whose azure eyes pierce the watery depths. Guardian of the Water,
Protector of our emotions and goals. I call upon the Queen of the
Water Dragons, to attend this rite as a guardian, defender, and participant. We
bid you Hail and Welcome!” (Light the West candle)
“Hail Great Dragon
of the North, whose emerald eyes bore to the center of the nadir. Guardian of
the Earth, Protector of our dreams and prosperity. I call upon the Queen of the Earth Dragons, to attend this rite as guardian, defender, and
participant. We bid you Hail and Welcome!”
(Light the North candle)
Light the Black
and White candles and the incense.
Chant three times:
“O Great Dragons
wondrous and wise
Powers of Earth,
Water, Fire and Skies
Light and Darkness
join us here
Sweep clean this
place and make it clear
Remove the entity
causing us pain
Make this house
sacred space again
Away with wrong,
and in with right
Powerful Dragons
of Darkness and Light
Clear our minds
and set us free
Destroy this ugly
entity
Elementals Strong
and Old
Restore the
balance, Dragons Bold!”
Plunge the athame
into the sea salt, then into the chalice and say:
“As salt dissolves
in water, so shall the hold of all negatives on my person and property.” (Each person in the household must do this)
Using the tip of
the athame, put three small piles of salt into the water. Stir it clockwise
three times. (Place the bell, chalice of salt water, athame, incense, and
dragon’s blood oil on the tray).
Begin moving
clockwise through the house (so you end up at the front door). First person
will carry the burning incense through the room, this is followed by the next
person who will make a banishing pentagram at each window, door, and mirror.
The next person will ring the bell at each window, door, and mirror. The next
person will take the salt water and mark an X on each side of the opening,
using his/her forefinger dipped into the chalice. The next person will take
dragon’s blood oil on his/her forefinger and mark a Draco’s eye upon the top of
each opening.
Move onto all
rooms until you end up at the front door. Seal this door last. When finished,
open the front door, and yell, “BE GONE!” Shut the door quickly, and seal it
with saltwater and dragon’s blood oil (using a banishing pentagram and Draco’s
eye)
Pour the saltwater
down the drain immediately, and clean the chalice. (Make sure to clean the
athames as saltwater is corrosive to metal).
Take the tools
back to the altar, stoke up the incense (if needed), and pull the smoke to you,
using your hands. Continue until you feel lighter.
“We call to You,
Our Guardian Dragons, with much love and friendship. We ask your aid in
protecting each one of us, our property, our pets, our loved ones. We thank you
for your presence here. We honor you, Ancient Spirits of the Air, Fire, Water
and Earth. We are grateful for your protection and teachings. We ask that you
stay with us, protecting us, keeping us safe, guarding and guiding us from this
moment on…
“Light Calls to
Light, Darkness to the Dark, Male to Male, Female to Female
Only those of good
intent may enter here
The way is barred
to all who wish us harm
We give our
greeting only to our friends.”
(Take a moment and
meditate upon the Dragon Kings and Queens. Soon, you will feel them returning to the
ritual. Greet them with dignity and thank them for what they have done. Listen
closely in case they offer any suggestions as to what caused the problems and
what you can do to avoid this entity in the future. When the dragons have
finished communicating with you, thank them again)
“Farewell
to you, O Dragons fair! Fire, Water, Earth and Air. Together we make magick
well by power deep and Dragon spell. We thank you for your protection
We
honor your counsel through introspection In peace go now, return once more
To
teach us magick and ancient lore. Draconis! Draconis! Draconis!”
(Extinguish
the Black and White candles)
