magic spell

Now hold the completed bracelet to your heart and say:

"With all my heart, with all my will, with all my love - I have made this bracelet for Grandma Penny on this day."

Wrap it up in some nice tissue paper, ready to give to Grandma Penny. Should she be a rampant fundamentalist of some kind, it's best just to give it as a gift and say nothing else about it; should Grandma have more sense than that, to have the child tell her what each bead stands for is something so wonderful, you have to experience it to know just what that can do for a person. It's extraordinary and I can guarantee you that a person with some sense will treasure this bracelet more than the biggest, most expensive jewel in the world and wear it with every pride and gratitude possible.

Now, for some notes:

1. The basic principle is endlessly flexible to do almost anything with. You can make bracelets (and also necklaces) for any person, for any purpose, and of course, you can make them for yourself, which is WONDERFUL in every way.

2. Variations on the theme include using just a selection of colours to represent a selection of qualities, gifts or intentions - the chakra colours for example with the traditional meanings associated could be done (but I do have to say, that's BORING and definitely second best to the real deal of "free spirit, free form, free flow" as described above).

3. These bracelets make an AMAZING gift of love for just about anyone at all - an emotional healing and support bracelet for a friend going through a bad divorce; a "my family loves me" bracelet for a kid that is bullied at school; a "you are the greatest guy on Earth" bracelet for a male friend for work; a healing bracelet for someone who's sick, a "luck and fortune" bracelet for yourself to wear when you need a little extra of that - infinitely flexible, infinitely valuable.

4. The basic act, namely to imbue an inanimate object with a spiritual quality that raises it above the ordinary and makes IT WORK FOR YOU AND THOSE YOU LOVE, is the blue print for doing this with many other things and in many other circumstances - and that's why this simply little spell is such a powerful thing to do, and a wonderfully empowering experience to have.
