Five Wishes Spell

Some of us may feel as if we simply do not have five wishes to make, while
others may feel that they can easily think of five wishes they would love to
come true. If you are in the former group, ask a friend for permission to ask
for a wish on their behalf, and include that in this spell.
You will need:

• five short (4–5”) taper candles. These can easily be purchased online or
• at a pagan supply store.
• dried peppermint
• dried alfalfa
• dried calendula
• powdered cinnamon
• a bay leaf, crumbled
• dried vervain
• a mortar and pestle

Gently grind and mix the herbs together, then set on your altar to one side.
Line the candles in a row, and light them. When you are ready to state your
wishes (you can say them out loud), take a pinch of the herb mixture, and toss
it into the flame of the first candle on the left. Continue this process with each
wish, working from left to right.
When you have completed stating your wishes, say:
“Imbolc’s magic, fire true,
grant these five wishes,
merrily do!”
When you are finished, allow the candles to burn down and sprinkle the herb
mixture in your garden or in a crossroads.
