Chapter 225

“Do you mean you don’t know how to get back yet?” Toya dropped the metal bowl she came back into the room with. She caught it before it smashed into my glass coffee table, but it was close.

“Holy goddess.” She put the bowl down softly on the table, then turned to me. “Speak.” She looked pissed.

I raised my hands in surrender. “The book… it tells me how to do certain things. But coming back to my body isn’t in there. It just said I needed an anchor.” I pointed to the two of them. “I have two.”

Wendy shook her head. “We are next to useless if you don’t know what you’re doing.”

I shrugged. “I have no other choice. I either break through the threat, or I die.” The room fell into a weighted silence.

Toya sat down next to Wendy with a sigh. “Tell us what we have to do.”

I nodded and went to get my book. I came back into the room and the two women were still sitting side by side, looking a little lost. “Okay, so here it is, a spirit walk. Follow the thread of connection and seek what you wish to find.” I read from the book. “We need to push the table back from the couch. I need to be sitting up against something.” Wendy and Toya stood, pushing the table against the other side of the room, leaving me a big space to work. I grabbed the bowl and put it on the floor in front of where I would be sitting.

“Okay, what’s next?” The two came up next to me.

“I need three candles, one white to bring positive energy and healing, a black to expel negative energy and to banish the spell against me, and purple to increase my spirituality and intuition to separate from my body.”

I walked to my room and pulled out a box I had put together to have on hand so I could practice. I brought it out of the bedroom and Wendy and Toya dug into it, pulling out what I needed.

“What else?” Wendy dug through the box.

I looked at the book again on the list. “Angelica, belladonna, blessed thistle, feverfew for the box. And from the shopping bags, we need basil, bay leaf, thyme, and the sea salt.” Toya went to the bags on the counter and within seconds I had everything I needed.

“Anything else?”

“Actually, in my kitchen drawer I have a barbeque lighter, and I need a bottle of distilled water from above the fridge.” I sat down and organized things in the order I needed to add them, and remember, I needed something to burn. “Oh, Toya, can you run to my printer and grab some white paper? I need something that will burn.” She nodded and ran out of the room while I finished.

Wendy came back with the lighter and water. “Why water? Seems counter-intuitive.”

I laughed. “It is, but to seal the spell once I get back. I need untainted water,” She nodded as Toya came back with the paper.

“Walk us through whatever you’re doing, so we know what to expect.”

I pulled the book into my lap. “I start off by lighting the candles and the paper in the bowl. I add in the sea salt first for earth, purification, and grounding. Then I add in angelica for air, and to aid in my vision. Basil comes next, for fire and astral projection. Next is belladonna, for water and an extra boost in energy for my spell and protection.” The girls leaned in and we quickly went through the rest. “Blessed thistle for hex breaking, thyme for good luck, bay leaf for psychic powers, feverfew for protection and to boost my spirit.” They nodded. “I have to focus on the fire and let it burn down but never out, so while I’m going you will need to feed the flames pieces of paper to keep the herbs going.”

“Okay.” Wendy gave a thumbs up and I wanted to laugh.

“I’ll say the spell, and my spirit will be free to move where I need it to.”

“And where do you need it to go?”

“I don’t really know. But the goddess told me to follow the power back to the caster and break the spell, or else my wolves weren’t going to make it much longer.”

“So this is just to find who is doing it?” Wendy grabbed the book and flipped through it. “How are you going to break it?”

“I don’t know. But if I can, I will give you a sign to add more thistle.”

“How is that going to help?”

“It helps break a hex and if I’m lucky, it will help.”

“And if it does, how will you come back?”

“I don’t know…” I looked at the two of them. “But that’s why I needed you guys.”
