Image or photograph of a frog (you can visualise this, but it helps
to have a focal point)
A white or light coloured candle
A black or dark coloured candle

Walking deosil (clockwise) around the circle.
With the power of the Moon
I cast this circle to attune

This Moon circle is now cast

Deity
Facing centre
I call upon the Queen of Magic, the goddess Isis
And ask that you bring the energy of change, transition and
transformation to this rite.
Isis, I honour your presence
Spell work:
Set your image of the frog in front of you where you
can see it properly. Pop the candles in front of the image, the
black on the left and the white to your right. Get the image of the
frog in your mind. Now light the black candle and say:
Magic of frog from the fairy tale
Change is a journey that will not fail
Transformation with a kiss
Work this magic, it will not miss
Sprinkle some cinnamon on the candle (carefully). Now snuff
out the black candle.
Light the white candle. Repeat the chant, then sprinkle the
white candle with cinnamon.
Sit quietly focusing on the image of the frog and visualise the
transformation that you want to occur.
When you are ready snuff out the candle.
Dispose of the black candle. You can leave the white candle
and the image of the frog on your altar. If you need a reminder
or a boost to your journey relight the white candle.
Feast:
Eat and drink something to celebrate your ritual and to
help you ground. Sprinkle some of the drink and food onto the
earth after the ritual as an offering to deity.
Deity
I thank the Queen of Magic, the goddess Isis

long as is needed.
With blessings and thanks, I bid you farewell
Release the quarters

Magic unties the boundary to last
This Moon circle is now uncast
