Creating a Grimoire
Spell
Hearken as the witch's words call the Mother. Moon above and earth below, sky's calm blue and sun's hot glow. In this night hour fill these pages with thy power. May no unprepared eye see the secrets inked upon the pages. May I who walk the hidden path find a hearthstone within the pages before me.Guardians of the elements hear me and lend thy protection. Shaded from prying eyes but to the witch whose path it holds. May the way be plain to see, and through all the coming ages may I find solace in these pages.So mote it be.
Ritual
After you have found a tome that calls to you, purify it by surrounding the tome in a ring of salt under a new moon. Along the salt ring place your crystals. Burn incense of sage and lavender, wafting it first over all sides of the tome cover before doing so over each and every page. Once this is done the tome should be sealed away in a case with the crystals until the next full moon.During the next new moon the witch should recreate a salt ring with the crystals and incense. Prick your thumb to draw blood and mark the spine of the tome with your blood as you recite the spell to bind it to you.

Purpose?
Calling the elements for a ritual is to ask them to lend their power to one's spell. The elements are unpredictable however and can choose to lend a hand to aid you in accomplishing your goal. Running a muck or having the adverse effect of drawing the interest of other beings. Such as Hags.The elements can not be forced to aid one's spell, only requested upon.Such magic should not be done by ill experienced witches as it can have dire side effects if used incorrectly or if the witch looses control.
Resurection
I call you one so shattered, who finds themself left so tattered. Hear my voice, hear my cry. Come across from the other side. Cross the veil and let out your wail, return now from which you hail.

That from this point forth they shall be a veiled sister and begin a new life. They are then to dawn their veils and repeat the following after it is spoken;"When I doubt, show me my strength. When I am wrong, show me the right path. Light the crossroads before me, so that I may see my way. Mother of the weave, The first mother to all bless me as I walk my path in service to your ways. Through dark and dawn, day and dusk. Help me to balance the forces with myself. Light and dark, above and below. I am not whole without one or the other."
Ritual of Wisdom
Great Mother, whose benevolent will I see in every act of compassion and love, who breathes the breath of life into her children. Hear me; I need your strength and wisdom.Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the value of your compassion. Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught your children.Help me to remain calm and strong in the face of all that comes toward me. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. Help me seek pure thoughts and act with the intention of helping others. Help me find compassion without empathy overwhelming me.I seek strength, not to be greater than others, but to fight my greatest enemy, the doubts within myself.Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and clear eyes. When life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.
