SUCCESS!



Have you ever lost something and, despite wracking your brain for every possible location, you still can't find it.  I did this when I moved.  You see, every year I buy both Llewellyn's Datebook and Spell-A-Day Almanac.  I have a collection of them from quite a few years.  In fact, right now, 2011's versions are sitting on my "special" bookshelf just waiting for the turning of the calender page.  When I moved, way back in September, I lost both books.  I thought they would show up while unpacking, no such luck, I thought I might have left them at work and, with a newly organized desk - still no books.  It was driving me absolutely bonkers to see my collection marred by two missing volumes!
Tonight, I was determined to search everywhere and, if unsuccessful, finally give them up as lost.  I checked boxes and bins in the garage, under the stairs, the computer desk, my bedroom and finally sat down in my new "special" room and pulled what may very well be the first spell I ever memorized

Wolves and Faeries
Dragons and Ghosts
I've lost the thing I need the most
My planners are gone, they must be found
Whether lost above or below the ground
Bring them back as quick as can be
As I will, so mote it be*

Now, I had tried this spell before to no avail, but I think the extra oomph of the full moon pushed it over the edge because within minutes I was clutching the books in my hands.  They had been stored in a plastic bin with a ton of magazines, under the bed in the guestroom.  Does anyone else out there have any experience finding lost objects?  Or any helpful little spells that they have memorized for the mundane annoyances of life?

*I would love to give credit to the source for this spell but I memorized it so long ago that I have no idea where it came from.

Thats great, I'm going to borrow your spell to find my missing sewing patterns. When I moved my sewing items a few of my favorite patterns went missing. Like you I have search to no end. Here's hoping it works for me

Man, I hope this spell works for me as well. For more than 2 weeks I have been looking for my 3 favorite christmas cd's. I have looked EVERYWHERE! I made them about 3 years ago with versions of songs I haven't come across since so I can't just download them again, can't go out and buy them...it seems like more than just coincidence that you'd post this here now.
Thanks.
Bright Blessings!

Update..my own SUCCESS...sorta.
I said your spell - twice - because I really needed help.
So, just like when casting any spell, you never really know how the result will manifest itself... although I didn't find my actual cd's I was mentioning my troubles to a friend and she told me that I had made her copies of them a few years ago and I could borrow those to make copies for myself. There you go...another success story. Thanks for your spell. Worked great this time so I wrote it in one of my many books
Blessings to you my friend.
