Irish love spell
On the night of a full moon, walk to a spot beneath your beloved's bedroom window. Whisper his/her name three times to the night wind (el alder).
The night breeze is believed to have a guardian who is compassionate toward requests from mortals between midnight and 1 am (the witching hour).

Irish spell to find stolen goods
Place two keys in a sieve, crossways. Two people hold the sieve while another makes a cross sign on the forehead of the suspected thief, calling out their name loudly three times. If the person is innocent, the keys will remain stationary. If the person is guilty, the keys will start to revolve slowly around the sieve.
Irish spell to attract good fortune
You will be damn lucky with this one. You will need a candle, some string, and a trinket.
Light the candle and loop the string in through the trinket and tie it. Then start swinging the trinket above the flame and chant:
“A candle flickers, this trinket I pass, good energy and fortune come to me, wealth, knowledge, influence, energy.
"By good means come to me, wealth, knowledge, influence, energy.
"This trinket I pass into power, to attract to me wealth, knowledge, influence, energy, come to me!”
Repeat this three times, then wear the "necklace" around your neck. The more you do this, the more powerful.

Irish beauty spell
This spell makes you prettier than you think – just follow the instructions.
During a full moon, take a mirror and go outside (if you can't then open a window, make sure the moon is reflected on the mirror), take a piece of a picture of your hair, lips, eyes, or whatever you are interested in changing, and place it on the mirror. While concentrating on it, say, "Moonshine, Starlight, let the wind carry your light, let your glow cover my body, and let your shine cover every eye."
Say it three times and concentrate on the part you want to change. Then say, “Moonshine, Starlight, shape and mold my body, as a rose is granted beauty, let me blossom in your light, the light that brings me beauty, and grant me beauty three times three."
Say it three times and when you are finished light a pink candle or incense.
Irish spell to get someone to call you
Take a piece of parchment or fine-quality writing paper and inscribe the name of the target. Write it in a circle twice, so the ends meet. As you do this, concentrate on the person's face and your desire for them to call you. Then, while still concentrating, put a needle through the center of the circle created by the name. Place the charm on the phone.
The call will come within five minutes, five hours or five days depending on how well the spell was cast and how much willpower was used.

Irish Hair binding / Bond of trust
In ancient Ireland, it was customary for a man to braid a bracelet from his hair and give it to the woman he loved – a gift of trust – knowing what can be done to someone magically if you possess their hair.
The binding is not activated unless she accepts the gift, thus accepting him and agreeing to the spell. This is not a binding that can be imposed on another person without their knowledge.
Irish healing charm for a wound
Close the wound tightly with the two fingers, and repeat these words slowly:
"In the name of Dagda, Bridget, and Diancecht. The wound was red, the cut was deep, and the flesh was sore; but there will be no more blood, and no more pain, 'till the Gods come down to earth again."
An Irish charm for always having money
Take the feather of a black rooster, go to the crossing points of three fairy-paths, and while holding the feather and a gold-colored coin, call the name of the Goddess Áine three times, to bring you everlasting prosperity.

Irish elixir of potency
Two ounces of cochineal, one ounce of gentian root, eight grams of saffron, four grams of snakeroot, four grams of salt of wormwood, and the rind of ten oranges. All of this should be steeped in a quart of brandy and kept for when it is needed.
Irish charm against depression
When a person becomes low, depressed, and careless about everything as if all vital strength and energy has gone, he is said to have got a 'fairy blast,' and blast-water must be poured over him by the hands of a fairy doctor while saying, "In the name of Lugh with his shining sword, who has strength before the gods and stands among them."
Be careful to ensure that no portion of the water is sullied. Whatever is left over after the procedure must be poured onto the fire.

It is perhaps the collectivist sentiment of contemporary witchcraft — belonging to something bigger, together — that is appealing. Indeed, #WitchTheVote’s mandate as a “collective intersectional effort” suggests the force of doing something together, yet attuned to the different experiences, including those related to race, class, sexuality, age and ability, that participants may face.

Reviews for "Sea Witch Festival 2022: Dive into Coastal Excitement with the Schedule"
1. Emily - 1 out of 5 stars:
I was extremely disappointed with the Sea Witch Festival 2022 schedule. It seemed like the organizers had no idea what they were doing. The events were poorly organized and lacked any excitement. Plus, the schedule was full of repetitive workshops and performances that did not offer anything new or interesting. Overall, it was a waste of time and money, and I would not recommend attending this festival based on the lackluster schedule alone.
2. Jason - 2 out of 5 stars:
The Sea Witch Festival 2022 schedule left a lot to be desired. Many of the advertised events were canceled or rescheduled without proper notice, causing confusion among attendees. The timing and spacing of the activities were poorly arranged, leading to overcrowded venues and long waits. Additionally, the lineup of performers was underwhelming, with no big-name acts or unique attractions. I was expecting a more engaging and diverse schedule, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations.
3. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars:
I was hoping for a memorable experience at the Sea Witch Festival, but the schedule did not deliver. The majority of the events were very niche and catered to a specific audience, leaving little room for general enjoyment. The festival lacked variety and failed to offer a balance between entertainment, educational workshops, and food vendors. The overall atmosphere felt disconnected, and it seemed like the organizers focused more on quantity rather than quality. I would advise potential attendees to carefully review the schedule before purchasing tickets to ensure it aligns with their interests.
4. Adam - 1 out of 5 stars:
The Sea Witch Festival 2022 schedule was a complete letdown. Most of the events were poorly timed and overlapped with each other, forcing attendees to make difficult choices. The lack of clear instructions or signage made it even more frustrating to navigate the festival grounds and find the designated venues. Furthermore, the schedule was filled with repetitive activities, leaving no room for unique experiences or surprises. I was hoping for a memorable and well-planned festival, but unfortunately, this was not the case. Save your money and avoid this poorly organized event.
