Greetings everyone - does anyone have a spell or ritual for family harmony? thank you in advance for any help....blessed be - gypsyraven

hi all - doesn't look like anyone has anything for family harmony. .....does anyone have a banishing spell? to banish negativity? that might help.....

I have this one from a book by Kate West called The Real Witches' Handbook. I've never tried it, but you might find it helpful!

To banish negativity from a room or to cleanse and protect an area:

You'll need an altar, athame, sprig of rosemary (dried or not), a bowl of water, and salt.

To banish these feelings, create your Sacred Space. After you have created it, consecrate the water by dipping your Athame, or finger, into it and saying, "I bless and consecrate this water to drive out all impurities and make it pure and fit for these my rites. Blessed Be." Next, bless the salt, sprinkle some onto your Altar cloth and again using your Athame say, "I bless this salt to make it fit for these my rites. Blessed Be."

Add the salt to the water and, holding it up to the Goddess and the God, say, "I ask the Lord and Lady to let this water drive out all negative influences. Blessed Be." Put the bowl safely to one side.

Next take a sprig of rosemary, or a small amount of the dried herb tied in a small cloth, and, holding it up again, say, "I ask the Lord and Lady to empower this herb that it might guard my place from all negative thoughts and persons. Blessed Be." Visualize the Goddess and the God directing their energy towards and into the herb, so that it becomes d with their power. Then hold it between your hands and visualize each of the elements in turn adding their power to it. When you feel it is empowered, put it to one side.

Now you can remove your sacred space. Take your bowl of water and gently sprinkle it around the outside edge of the area you wish to cleanse, moving clockwise or Deosil. You don't need a continuous flow. As you go, visualize the drops joining up to make a barrier which drives negativity out and through which it cannot return.

Finally, take your empowered rosemary and pin it up over the entrance to the area you wish to protect.

I hope this is sort of what you're looking for! ..and I hope Kate doesn't get too mad that I took it right from her book :3

Here is my favorite springtime spell for family harmony. The basics is to make a special potato soup which you inscribe the runes for happiness, health and harmony into the potatoes before cooking. During the cooking process you clean up the entire house (dusting off cobwebs from all corners, sweep, mop, dust) get rid of all the negativity that gets built up like dust in the corners. While you clean each room place a small cauldron or other incense holder and burn a smoky incense like sage and dragonsblood. Water all plants, balance out any areas of chaos and clutter by removing wintry items and storing them. Bring in some fresh flowers that represent spring for dinner such as tulips or crocus. Light some candles. When the soup is done put on some soft music and invite the family to dinner. Say a prayer over the soup to the Hearth Goddess Avatar of your choice, (ie. Hestia) and request that she bless your family with happiness, health, harmony, etc.

Prayer in each room to be said when done cleaning smudging windows and doors:

"Stern is the mountain that touches the sky,
Bright is the tower that guards the palace,
Sweet is the wine that runs from the chalice,
Deep is the wellspring that never runs dry,
Broad is the river that never narrows;

Safe is this house against all harm come nigh."

See Ostara Potato Soup In the post "Cauldron Living in the 21st Century" under the cooking forum.
