 so is my center nourished".
 Visualize the seeds sprouting and growing into lush,healthy
 plants..After a moment of reflection say:
 "Grow little seeds,for as you do
 Your qualities will grow in me.
 Our ground id fertile,our roots grow strong.
 This is my Will,So mote it be!"
  Cut you list in half and burn in the incense burner,symbolicly
 rmoving
 your obstacles forever from your life!Fold the remaining paper(
 with
 your solutions) several times(nine if you can!)and "Plant" them
 in your
 pot of Earth(soil).
 Thank the Elements for their help,bid them farewell,Know that
 your
 problems are gone and your creative self has been recharged!
 Thank the Goddess,the God and the Muse..Close your Circle as
 usual..

To Overcome Writer's Block:
Items needed:
Pens or pencils
A notebook
A large candle
Cast a proper circle before doing any magickal work. Place the
pens or
pencils in front of the altar, on top of the notebook. Have the
candle,
unlit,  sitting on the altar between the Goddess and the God
candles.
After the invocations, say:
"Mother Goddess, I ask of you to allow me to inhibit your
Cauldron of
Inspiration! Forge me into a writer. Prick my mind and soul with
poetry.
Fill me with my commitment to my writing! This I ask of you. So
mote it
be!"
Take up a pen and say:
"I do affirm and announce: I am a writer! I am a writer of
poetry, short
stories,  great literature. I am a writer of letters, articles,
essays,
journals, diaries. I write for the Goddess. I write for me."
Take up the notebook and write your feelings about what you have
just
said. Take up the candle and say:
"This candle I will light for inspiration. When guidance is
needed, I
shall light this candle for the Mother and write by the flame.
Any
blocks I face in my writing shall be lifted by the lighting of
this
candle. So mote it be!"
Replace the candle on the altar and close the circle. Later, if
writer's
block ever hits, light the candle for guidance and inspiration.
