3287 Life Spells from Spell Casters

Place the tarot card in the middle of a square of the four lit candles. If you have a feather, hold it. Light incense or spray a spray. Now you may begin the spell. Say nine times:

"Great stars of life,
Free me of strife
Give me my flight
Hide it from sight
Give me each plume
Protected from doom
Break from my shell
With wings I rebel
Give me the speed
To fly as I need
Give me the strength
To travel at length
Give me agility
And flexibility
Balance unfailing
Feathers atrailing
Give me the senses
For flight intense
Give me healing
To protect the feeling
Give me a size
Even and wise
My wings fly proud
Over the clouds
And hide from sight
Like shadows at night
Dusk to dawn
I fly strong
My wings that fly
I soar through the sky
With
Wings of light
Wings of flight
Wings of sky
Wings on high
Wings of youth
Wings of truth
Wings spread wide
Wings that hide
Wings of sea
Wings on me
Wings of moon
Wings soon
Wings of sun
Wings of fun
Wings of stars
Wings fly far
Wings of earth
Wings' rebirth
Wings of fire
Wings of ire
Wings of air
Wings appear
Wings of water
Wings that flutter
Wings of speed
Wings I need
Wings of birds
Wings of words
Wings, wings, all I've ever needed
My desire permeates and my requests are heeded."

After repeating the above nine times, yell this as loud as you are able:

"Now by the wind
Their growth begins!"

Now take a minute to imagine your wings as vividly as possible. Imagine them growing, and feel them grow. Once you finish visualizing (maybe meditate on wings for a little), then blow out or snuff the candles. If you lit incense, put it out.

• More will to live
• Wing dreams

When your wings are growing, exercise them every day. You will know how to cloak your wings, and when cloaked they are completely invisible and intangible. This has the side effect of making you unable to fly as your wings will pass through the air, but when you have your wings uncloaked they will automatically be large enough to fly with. Your wings will automatically waterproof themselves with oil or powder down, and it is a good idea to cloak them when directly in water.

When your wings begin developing, your body will change a bit. You'll lose a lot of weight, and become less sensitive to heat, cold and pain. You will get lighter bones and be lighter overall. Your teeth and nails will become sharper, especially for those with bird of prey wings. Your muscles will be a bit bigger, but not very big, although your strength will greatly increase. You will also be a lot healthier and heal faster. Your organs will change to facilitate flight, and you may notice your breathing patterns changing. You may even develop a third eyelid. You will be able to handle high speeds and g forces better than humans. Your bones will be far lighter, but also stronger, and you will be incredibly agile and fast. Your back and stomach muscles will develop a lot to let you fly. Some of your features will be a bit more obvious than others, and cannot be hidden by cloaking, but your blood will still read human. X rays will also not be able to tell your bones have changed. But be a bit careful if they need to operate. Wing growth is an amazing thing, and this spell makes it far easier to live with wings. But you must still be careful.

When flying, make sure to take off from a place where nobody will see you. Get high fast, so maybe your silhouette can be mistaken for a bird. It's best to fly in unpopulated areas, or if all else fails places where nobody will see you. When flying, be careful never to pass a high window, or fly too close to a place someone may see you. Be careful with your wings. You only have one pair and one life, so protect both. You will have urges to fly. Satisfy them by doing high-up activities, like rock climbing or jumping off cliffs into the sea, or just go out to somewhere unpopulated (maybe part of a national park, or out in some farmland) and take off, circle around a bit then come down. Do exercises every day like flapping your wings and imitating takeoff, and try to find places to practice takeoff and landing.

When becoming an avian, two of the first things to come in are flying, taking off and landing instincts and urges, nesting urges, and more of a connection to magick, which means you benefit more from stones. Indulge your instincts by mimicking flight and jumping off things, starting small and working up to trees or off high places into the ocean or another safe landing. You will then start getting very hungry. Eat lots of healthy food to fuel your growth. Spell-grown wings grow faster than shifting-grown or subliminal-grown wings, but they still need to grow on their own

Make a pentagram. The top point is the blue candle, then the black and white candles at the outer two points, then the bottom two are the teal candles. Light them all, then light any incense you may have. Place the snake totem in the center and say:

"Goddess of serpents and moon on the rise,
Watch me over with your all-seeing eyes
As the circle is blazed alight
Scale my legs with holy light.
As the blue ocean rolls
Pierce me through and make me whole
Breathe in the aqueous air
Serpent's magick and slitted glare
Swiftest speed of sun and moon
Stars together, falling soon
At my will and moonbent glee
Lamia I shall forever be."

Now pick up the snake totem and imagine your legs fusing together and being covered in the scales of a snake in the colours you wish. Also choose the colour of your eyes in your lamia form. Focus hard on the feeling of your legs fusing and melding into a tail, how it would feel. Force that sensation. When you,re done focusing, blow out or snuff all the candles.

Side effects:

• Sensations of legs fusing into a tail
• Legs sticking together
• Desire to exercise and be in nature
• Phantom tail
• Pains and rashes on legs
• Cat eyes
• Eyes changing colour
• Running faster
• More agile
• More fluid movements
• Better swimming ability
• Water affinity
• Desire to meditate more, deeper meditations
• Connection to snake energy
• Deep 'need' for your tail and to use it
• Holding breath longer

Effects: As a lamia, you will be able to manifest the tail you imagined at will. With it will come eyes like a cat in the colour you wanted. When your tail isn't out, your eyes will be normal. You will have several superhuman abilities: strength, speed, agility, flexibility, flowmotion, underwater breathing, pain resistance, intelligence, and senses. Breathing underwater will feel like breathing incredibly fresh air, and your eyes and ears will never be filled with water, as if there is an invisible field around them. You can hear things underwater as well as you can on land. It will be far easier to learn forms of water manipulation, and to a lesser extent easier to learn shapeshifting, pyrokinesis, cryokinesis, or telekinesis. You will also have a hypnotic voice and be a great dancer and manipulator.

Lamias can synergize with: Avian (wings probably can't lift you while your tail is out but you can try), Shapeshifter (all form shapeshifters can even use incompatible-with-lamia forms due to their form mastery, but they will be harder to use), Fae (it will be a bit hard but not impossible), Vampire (i don't see why that wouldn't work), and kemono/other mostly humanoid forms (although tails might not work).

Lamias CANNOT synergize with: Mermaids (tails conflict), Sirens, Scylla (same reasons as mermaid), anything super small (too much mass in the tail to convert to something tiny like a cat), certain shifters (some shifters have sharply determined paths that they can't stray from).

Anything else you'll probably have to try for yourself. I may be wrong about some of these, so you can try them yourself.
