Correspondences
Correspondences are charts that Wiccans make to show what magical properties different things have. For example, a color correspondence chart will say things like “red- passion, lust, anger, strength” and you can use red in a spell for one of those things. It is usually best to make your own correspondence chart for colors, but for everything else there are established ones. There are books that are complete Correspondence charts of gems, rocks, crystals and plants. Healing correspondences should not be changed since most of it is actually real medical uses for herbs.
Here is a Correspondence sheet of five common stones:
•Amber: protective, useful to safeguard children, can represent orgasms, enhances
beauty, worn by priestesses.
•Amethyst: drives off nightmares, encourages peace, protective, good for meditation
and divination (especially prophetic dreams).
•Bloodstone: health, helps athletes, blood and cardiovascular diseases
•Jasper: Red – defensive, promotes grace, cures fevers.
Green – body healing, helps with mental illness
•Moonstone: attracts love and resolves lover’s quarrels, restful, if held in the mouth
helps with divination, helps people to lose weight.
Healing
If others are being healed they must want to be healed and they must believe in the magic you are going to perform. It is important to examine their body (without them getting naked) and to ask lots of questions about the problem and their lifestyle (it might help their cough if they stopped smoking). Also modern medicine is encouraged and believed in just as much as magic. But magic should be used as well since it will help with spiritual sickness as well.
When doing healing make sure you start like you would any spell (in chapter 8). The first thing to do is check their Chakras. Chakras are points of power on the body. They are: crown (green), between eyes/third eye (purple), throat (blue), hands and feet (orange), heart (pink), navel (yellow) and groin (red). These should look like faint lights on these parts on of the body. Check to see if there are blockages, making the lights dim or possibly black. Clear these by having the patient and yourself breathe at the same time (this can be done on yourself as well with the same method, and this can be done for healing or meditation). Pull the good energy (the light colors) towards wherever needs help or the navel with each in breath. With each out breath push the black parts out of the body. Keep doing this until the good energy is focused as small as possible in one part of the body and all the blockages are gone. Then call whatever deity you prefer to bless the sick person.
White healing light should fill the circle you have cast around you. Now lay your hand on some area of skin that the person fills comfortable with you touching. You can simply lay yours hand on them or massage them. If you don’t know them well simply massage their hands. As you touch them guide the energy that is in the circle into them, let it fill every part of them. Have them concentrate on their breath still. When you are done ground yourself by pushing all the extra energy, the black as well as the light that isn’t in the person, into the ground.
The next part is not as long. A simple spell can be done where they are given teas, herbs, amulets, candles, poppets, talismans or just prayers. Dreamwork can be done as well. Some people, who call themselves kitchen witches, believe in doing all their spells with food since then the magic goes right into you and is absorbed in you. This can make a lot of sense when healing.
