With all this talk of the H1N1 virus (swine flu) becoming more prevalent, so many people are becoming increasingly anxious in preparation for the the fall/winter months ahead.
Of course, proper hand washing and overall good hygiene needs to be practiced to keep any illness at bay. Also, definitely see a doctor if you feel you are sick or are getting sick. Your health is nothing to be taken frivolously!
However, if you're looking for a spell to keep illnesses at bay, here is an easy yet powerful candle magic spell:
Burn a black candle anointed with banishing oil and burn banishing incense. Concentrate on removing whatever the health problem may be by saying;
"As this candle burns,
so the illness turns,
melted like this wax,
cut like with an ax,
remove and banished,
all disabilities vanished,
as my word you see,
radiant health blessed be."
Let the candle burn until done. Then bury ashes from incense and leftover wax.

Before You Begin: Be Careful This is a rather simple spell, but you are "playing with fire" before bedtime.
Sprinkle some Jasmine on your pillow, and make sure you have a dream-journal or the like at your bedside to record your dreams in, and brew a cup of mugwort tea.
(NOTE: mugwort is unhealthy in large doses, so go easy, and consult an Herbal Reference book if you're worried.)
Light blue candles on your altar.
If you want to gain insight into your passions or your loves, burn Damiana as well.
Watch the smoke as it coils, and allow it to carry you off into the trance-like state that you spend most of the day avoiding. Say whatever comes to mind, appealing to the goddess or god of your choice to guide your dreams.
Something along these lines:
Blessed be the Lord and Lady, For they created the world, The earth to hold,
The sun to warm, The moon to guide, The spirit to dream.
Take sips of the mugwort tea as you repeat the words, gaze into the smoke,
and when you feel yourself just about to "cross the line" blow out the candle(s) and say:
"So mote it be."
Make sure you have extinguished all burning things before you cross into slumber.
Go to sleep. Dream away. Just remember, you don't always get to hear what you'd like.
The Yule log brings warmth and light on this Yule Eve, and represents the birth of a new solar year on the Winter Solstice. Burning the Yule Log is one of the oldest magickal rituals. You can make and burn this Yule log with your family and friends.
You will need a beeswax candle, an oak, cedar, or birch log, a fireplace or woodstove, cedar, holy and pine branches, and green, red and white ribbon.
Begin by drawing a magic circle around the room and fireplace or woodstove, and then call in the elements. Next, light the candle, dedicating it to the Mother Goddess and Father God. Tie the cedar, holly and pine branches around the log with green, red and white ribbon.
As you do this, say:
Blessed Yule log of plenty
Bring us good luck and good health
And divine prosperity, blessed be!
Now drip some of the wax from the candle on the log.
As you do, repeat:
Blessed Yule log of plenty
Bring us good luck and good health
And divine prosperity, blessed be!
Before putting the log into the fire, place your hands over the Yule log and say this prayer:
Dear Goddess and God
On this Eve of Yule, I pray you
Please grant us the gifts
Of good health and good luck
And divine prosperity
May the divine spirits shine brightly
With each new year and every day
In the Lady and Lord's name, Blessed be!
Enjoy the warmth and light of the Yule fire. Before you go to sleep, thank the Goddess and God, bid farewell to the elements, and close the circle.
Tomorrow morning, take some of the ashes from your fireplace or woodstove and scatter them clockwise around the outside of your home, including your front and back doors, to bring you and your family good luck, good health and prosperity. Offer the remains of the beeswax candle to the earth.
Items Needed:
1 bright, shiny silver coin
1 small, black cauldron or scrying bowl filled with water
Perform this ritual outside where the rays of the Moon can fall directly onto the water in the cauldron. If you cannot go outside, stay in a darkened room near a window that the Moon shines through.
Place the coin in the water and take the cauldron in both hands.
Gaze up at the Moon and say:
"Lovely Lady of the night,
Mysteries old and futures bright,
Give me a glimpse of that to be
And as I will so mote it be."
Look down at the coin shimmering in the cauldrons water.
With your eyes half closed, adjust your vision as if you were looking into and through the coin. Don't try to analyze anything you might see or that might come into your mind. Just accept it. Some people, rather than seeing actual pictures within the cauldron, will have mental impressions, feelings or pictures. When you have finished, bow to the Moon and say thank you.
Pour the water out on the ground.
