Make Your Own Marbelized Spell Paper
You will need:
a large bottle of liquid starch
severaal colors of acrylic paints
two large flat baking dishes or dish pans
a few custard cups
small bowls or empty margarine containers
paint brushes
a variety of tools to create patterns in the paint (such as a
feather, nut pick, ice pick, coiled rubber cord, wire whisk, potato
masher, fork or wide-toothed hair comb)
Fill one baking dish or dish pan with starch to a depth of about
2 inches; fill the second one with cool water. In custard cups or
other small containers, dilute each paint color until it just barely
drips from a brush. Then drip colors on top of the starch until the
surface of the starch is nearly covered.
Create a pattern in the starch with one or many of your tools.
Move the desired tool through the paint in straight lines, at
geometric angles, in circles, or in rays. Even if you leave the dots
undisturbed to produce a pebble pattern, no two patterns will be the
same. Feel free to experiment and be creative!
Hold a card or piece of paper by opposite corners and bend it
gently so the paper sags slightly. Lay it gently on top of the
paint, but do not allow the paper to sink below the surface.
Immediately lift paper back out of the starch. Hold it over the dish
and allow the paint to drip off for a few seconds.
Rinse paper in the dish of plain water. Lift paper out of water
and allow it to drip for about 15 seconds or until most of the water
has dripped off. Lay the paper flat, paint side up, on a work
surface to dry.
When done just write prayers/ spells on papers, roll up of fold
with an offering of herbs and or dried flowers, seed pods etc. and
burn in your cauldron or dish.
Offer the burned remains to the wind.
