Friendship

Anoint the candle with a few drops of the oil. Inscribe it with the Ogham Stave forfriendship, Ur: Light the candle, then take a ritual cleansing bath. Anoint yourself with more of the oil paying particular attention to the pulse spots. Take one sheet of paper and draw a figure to represent yourself it does not have to be good art.

Make sure your gender is recognisable.Write underneath the figure all those attributes which make you a good companion e.g. funny, bubbly, curious etc. On the other pieces of paper draw representations of both men and women and the interests you would like them to have which are similar to yours.

Briefly hold between your hands the paper which represents you, together with each of the other papers making sure that the drawings face one another.

Say each time:

"Let us meet each other
Let us greet each other
Let us become friends
Let us become companions
And if we grow to love one another
Then so be it."

Put a drop of oil on one corner of each of the papers. Now spread the papers out in front of you and visualize a link from you to each of theothers, almost like a spiders web and say:

"Spider Woman, Spider Woman,
weave me a charm
Make me good enough,
clever enough them all to disarm".

Now let the candle burn out. You should find that new friends appear before the next New Moon. All life can be seen as a network, and each individual is a strand within that network. Spider Woman is a North American goddess who weaves charms and reveals the power and the purpose of each strand.She keeps you aware of the importance of these connections in your life.
