Triskelion Spell - To Protect a Traveller

This spell is to protect you on your travels.

Background:

The word "triskelion" comes from the Greek language and means "three legged". It is a very old symbol that has been ascribed many meanings through the ages and that is inevitably bound up with the mysterious nature of triplicities.

How to cast the spell:

One pale blue candle, 15 - 20 cm in length

Matches/lighter

One small single scallop shell, drilled

One fine paintbrush

One tube of vermillion paint

One length of 60cm cord

Timing - cast on a waxing moon and on a Sunday, sacred to the sun.

Casting the spell:

• Cast a circle
• Light the candle saying:

"Hermes of the skies

Hermes the traveller

Look well upon (insert name)

That they are hale going out

And hale coming in."

• Paint on the inside of the scallop shell the outline of a triskelion.
• Sit in the centre of the circle with the upturned shell in your upturned right palm, which should be placed over your upturned left palm. Close your eyes and visualise the triskelion you have painted spinning clockwise, faster and faster until it is a blur.
• When you are ready, blow onto the shell with your breath to bless it with power of air. When the paint dries, threat it with the chord and dip it into natural saltwater at the earliest opportunity.
• The triskelion pendant should be worn around the neck of those who would call on its protective powers.
