Begin by setting up your altar as you normally do for ritual, making sure you have a black candle and wine or water in your chalice in addition to anything else you use. You will also need a cleansing, purifying incense and a censer or some kind of container which can be carried around your home. It is best to set your altar on the floor for this rite, but you may do it however you feel most comfortable. Cast your circle as you normally do. When you are through, kneel before your altar and light the black candle. With your arms held, palms upward, at your sides, call Hecate by saying three times:
Hecate, beautiful Crone of Night
I call you here to put things right.
Transform the negative thought and pain
And help my life be whole again.
Close your eyes. When you feel the presence of Hecate and know she is there to help you, open your eyes. Bow your head to her to show your reverence, and then take the chalice, saying:
Lady of the Dark Moon, Share with me this wine.
Bring your protection to Flood this life of mine.
May the waters of your eternal womb Bring change most divine.
Sip a small amount of the wine (or water), envisioning it as liquid energy, flowing to effect a positive change within and outside of you. Leave the rest as an offering to Hecate.
Light the purifying incense in the censer, cut a door in the Circle, and, beginning in the eastern-most corner of your home, smudge your home, going clockwise. Go into every closet, the bathroom, and the garage - make sure your entire house is smudged. As you go, chant:
Negativity be gone.
Come back into the Circle and visualize your entire house and yard bathed in a peaceful blue light. Since you have created a void by banishing the negativity, you will need to fill that void. Ask that good, protective spirits come into your home and that positive energies replace the negative ones that have just been banished. This is an important step, because if you don't fill the void with something good, the negativity will come right back.
Thank Hecate.
Meditate if you wish, visualizing your life free from negative happenings and feelings and full of love, prosperity, and happiness. Feel how She has changed your home and your life.
Re: Spells for full moon By: kts Moderator / Adept

The full moon is good for almost any type of spell. Protection being one of the most important when first starting out. You can make a spell bottle or mojo bag for this. A bottle works well for house or car protection and a mojo bag works well for personal protection.
Gather the herbs you would like to use: yarrow, cinniman, sage, rue, black or red pepper, cats claw, the list goes on and on. But any number of protection herbs will do.
One by one grind your herbs with a morter and pestal and then put them into a mixing bowl.
Add a bunch of sea salt and oatmeal. Note you will need more oatmeal than salt and more salt then herbs.
Need the mixture together with your bare hands.
When you are ready fill your bottle or mojo bag then close it.
If you should have any left over mixture scatter it to the winds.
