To establish some stability in an otherwise unstable relationship, light a brown or green candle and some juniper, frankincense, or neroli incense or oils. Picture yourself and your partner standing barefoot on grass, among green hills, embellishing as you deem fit. Maintain the image of your bare feet in contact with the earth, saying: “(Your lover’s name), let no winds blow you away, let no fairy-lure tempt you, no charms ensnare you other than my own true love.” Then, picture green shoots rising from the ground all around you, one of them becoming an ear of corn. Take the ear of corn and grind it to powder, saying: “Nurture what we have grown, that we may reap it together.” Add to a cake, bread, or biscuit mix, and feed it to your lover. Repeat as necessary.

Had the nine Muses fought the way most sisters do, humanity’s arts would be much the poorer. To help establish sibling harmony among your children, bind objects symbolic of each child with a six-foot-long brown ribbon. As you do so, repeat: “Binah brought you unto me. Mother goddess, hear this plea. Let my children happy be; bound in soulful harmony.” If the Moon is waxing, you should contemplate a growth of love among the siblings; if waning, meditate on diminishing hostility. Pull the ribbon tight, and knot. Every time they fight, think of their goddess-blessed unity. It will not take long for the spell to take practical effect.

If you have been having trouble getting your point across, you may try this spell. Take one small piece of turquoise or turquoise jewelry and enchant the stone by saying: “Stone of sheer diplomacy, make my voice heard. The point that I must make today must not be disturbed. Remove the clouds, make clear the mark; as I will, so mote it be.” Carry or wear the stone. This spell works especially well in difficult business meetings.

If you encounter someone who seems very closed and defensive, unwilling or unable to hear what you have to say, try this spell. Sit down or place yourself lower than the other person. Be loose and relaxed; do not cross your arms or legs. Make your breathing slow and even. Visualize your aura (energy field) and draw it close to you. Imagine yourself holding a sword, and the other party holding a huge shield. Between you is a stone wall. In your mind’s eye, put down the sword and watch the wall fade away. Silently invite your opposite to set aside the shield. Now invite the other party to speak, by saying something such as, “Can you tell me how you’re feeling right now?” Listen, and listen some more. Watch the other’s defenses melt.

We can all learn to listen better. When we make that effort, the other party is motivated to try harder too. If you and someone else are not understanding each other, at least make sure the fault does not lie with your inability to listen. Before meeting someone, cleanse your ears carefully and chant: “Release the need, let go desire; personal wants shall all be banned, save the need to understand.” Resolve that your only task is truly to understand what the other party wants and feels. During the conversation listen carefully. Repeat back to the person what you think you heard, paraphrased in your own words, and ask questions when you need to. When the other party is finished, and you both agree that your understanding is correct, wait for a moment and think deeply about the other’s viewpoint before you respond.
