Prepare:

• A dish full of earth
• A yellow candle
• A full-sized mirror
• Olive, patchouli, jasmine or cinnamon essential oil.
• A small flower pot
• A flower or plant seed.

Anoint the candle with the oil that you have chosen. Place it in the center of the dish of earth. Light it and sit down with it between you and the mirror. Look deeply into the mirror, concentrate on your reflection. Without being vain, consider the things that you find most beautiful about yourself not just physically but mentally too. What is your inner beauty? What is your outer beauty? It is important that you never think of what you fell must be "changed" be positive about the beauty that you already have. Perform this 3 nights in a row. Once the entire candle has been burnt down, remove the wax from the dish. Place the earth from the dish inside a small flower pot (along with enough earth to fill the pot!) and plant the seed. Water it and care for it so that it grows properly. You will soon find that your beauty will grow, flourish and shine brighter than ever before.

Beauty Spell

This spell will change people's perception of you. Inner beauty will surface and become "visible"- people will actually see your inner beauty as being a physical part of you. You will also become more confident and outgoing.

Light one orange candle, and one rose-colored candle. Sit before a mirror and concentrate on all your best features, allow your flaws to diminish. Continue to focus as you recite this rite. When you are done with the rite, put out the candles (but do NOT blow them out! Try muffling or use water.) Conitinue the ritual nightly until both the candles have burned away entirely.

"O Lady of Shimmering beauty,
For whom the stars are shining jewels
And the Universe Her creation and plaything,
Weaver of destinies
And protectress of things wild and free.
Make me now, I do ask
To be thy daughter.
Make me one with thee
And grant me thy far-flung power.
Grant to this, thy Witch and Sorceress
Strength within and without
As eternal as the boundless sea;
The calm assurance of my powers
To make any do my bidding
And the winds, waters, and fires,
The hills themselves
Lend willingly themselves to me,
Give to me, who am of thy ancient Craft
The wisdom of ages, the lore of eons
Knowledge of light, knowledge of dark.
Grant me beauty ever more perfect
That I may reflect thee better.
Build magick within me,
Build power within me.
Power be drawn, and power come,
And make me one with thee
Make me greater, make me better.
Grant me strength and grant me power.
O Goddess who is my friend and mother,
I give you love and thanks
O Beautiful One.
May the magic I have summoned
Return the stronger when I have need of it.
May wisdom, strength, comeliness and compassion
Remain with me, growing ever finer.
So mote it be!"

Remember when choosing the candles for this ritual, find ones that will burn long enough to last you at least 3 days of repeating the rite.
