Tuesday's Serene Teen Tip
Is a friend or family member bombarding you with negativity? Are you plagued by an emotional vampire? People act that way because they are deeply unhappy. Their only relief is to dump misery on others. To protect yourself and to help them heal, imagine a silver cocoon around you. Hurtful words and negative vibes glance off the the cocoon like stones against a shield. Whatever they hurl at you, send back to them as healing light. Set boundaries. You don't have to return their texts or emails. Don't engage. Walk away. It might be hard at first, but keep trying. You deserve to be happy!
May love and light surround you.

Pagan Teens
Five Reasons to attend PantheaCon next year:
1. You can come as you are or come as your secret alternate identity. At the 2012 PantheaCon, I saw teens in street clothes, dressed as Vikings, garbed as goths, and wearing witchy outfits.
2. Your parents will probably give you free rein all day because the conference is family friendly.
3. You can attend amazing rituals, lectures on gods and goddesses, concerts, dances, and even attend a defense against the dark arts class or a Steampunk Blot to the Dwarves.
4. Midnight drumming circles.
5. The vendors sell everything: corsets, jewelry, Steampunk goggles and attire, magic stones, tarot decks, statues, books, staffs, and wands.
Straight, gay, druid, shaman, witch, fairy ~ all are welcome. Hope to see you there next year!

Serene Teen Tip for the Day
Allow yourself to be nurtured by Mother Earth. If weather permits, sit outside on the ground and press your palms against the earth. Close your eyes, release long breaths, relax, and connect with the heartbeat of the earth.
If you cannot go outdoors, then sit quietly indoors and meditate on your favorite place in nature. Visualize yourself in that spot and then press your palms to the floor. Mother Earth will send her calming energy to you.
Love and healing light surrounds you.

Be What You Want to Attract
Put
that phrase on a sticky note and post it where you will see it every day. Then make a list of the qualities you
desire in a soul mate. Remember:
Like Attracts Like. To attract
someone who is fun to be with and adventurous, become fun and adventurous. Pursue whatever qualities you wish to
attract in a mate and nurture them within yourself. Join a class or Meetup for people who share your
passion. This will create an
energetic shift within you, and place you physically in the realm of someone
with similar interests.
Love Spells
Remember that list you made
of desirable qualities for your ideal soul mate? Take another look at it. The correct way to do a love spell is to ask the Universe to
bring you a man or woman (Be specific.
Otherwise, you might end up with a new pet) who has the qualities you
listed. One witch I know found her
soul mate through this sort of love spell. Unfortunately, she forgot to add “good health” to the list,
and was heartbroken when her husband died at an early age.
Never direct a love spell at a specific person. Serious karmic consequences will
ensue. Besides, why would you want
someone who was only with you because of binding magic? Respect free will. You may, however, name a particular
person in a releasing spell, because you are not trying to control his or her
fate, just your own.
Spell for Loving
Yourself
I am Beauty; I am Light,
I am Wisdom and Heart’s Delight,
I am Strength; I am Mirth,
I am Goodness; I have Worth.

Plant Magic For Love
Cornflower:
Use for abundance of love and/or fertility. Plant in garden for feeling of abundance, or dry flowers and
keep in containers away from the light.
Jasmine:
Flower of sensual love and enduring physical attraction. Breathe in the scent of the fresh
flowers or add a few drops of jasmine oil to almond oil and dab on the body.
Lavender:
Cleanses emotional shadows from the heart. Mix leaves with oil and then coat a candle with the mixture
for candle magick. Talismans.
White Lily:
Keep around you to purify anger, jealousy. Use with a ruby if you are ready to move on to a new love.
Rose:
Long used in love magick, including healing love. Distill petals in water and add to the
bath, wear rose hips strung like beads to attract love, place a single rose in
a vase on your personal altar.
Rosemary:
Burn to cleanse and purify.
Leaves may be used in talismans to attract love and lust. Mix leaves with oil then coat a candle
with the mixture for candle magick.
Witch Hazel:
Throw a handful of leaves into the bath to bring about charm,
attractiveness, and make you irresistible.
