Summarize the following:
One of the best things about a drop spindle is that it is relatively easy to make and to use. If you decide to go this route, then you can make your own drop spindle without much cost. Gather the materials listed below. A one-foot long wooden dowel. Although size isn't that important, a recommended diameter size is 3/8 of an inch. This will act as the main shaft for the spindle. A hook, or wire that can be bent into a hook. You'll make sure to hook your yarn through here. Two heavy CDs to act as the whorl. Rubber grommets that match the diameter of your dowel. You can get these at any farm store or auto part store. So if the diameter of your dowel is 3/8 of an inch, the inside hole (bore diameter) should be 3/8 of an inch, the panel hole should be 5/8 of an inch to match the hole in the CDs, and the outside diameter should be about 7/8 of an inch. Get a serrated knife, or small saw and scissors to cut the dowel. To do this you'll need to make a hole in the center of the dowel with a pushpin. Screw the cup hook into the hole so that it will stay in place. You want the grommet to fit snugly in the center of the CDs. This can be a little frustrating since it's a tight fit, but once you've pulled the edges of the grommet up, it should be good to go. As long as you've judged the sizes correctly you should be finished making your drop spindle. If it doesn't quite fit, wrap the dowel with electrical tape until the dowel and CDs slip on and fit tightly. For a beginning spinner, one piece of roving is going to be too big. Break that piece down into sections that are about 12 inches (30.5cm) long. Carefully split your roving down the middle to form two strips instead of one. This will make spinning easier if you're just beginning. Your leader is a piece of yarn about 18 inches (45.7cm) long that's tied onto the spindle shaft right above the whorl (the CDs). Put the yarn over the whorl and loop it around the shaft underneath. Put it back over the whorl and secure the end to the hook. Letting the spindle hang beneath your hand, suspended by the leader, take the spindle in your right hand and the leader in your left hand. Spin the drop spindle from the dowel (or shaft) in a clockwise direction. Repeat this process in the same direction until the leader begins to take in the twist. You'll leave a fluff of fiber at the end so you can join on more fiber. It's a good idea to practice making the spindle rotate, so that you get a feel for the direction you'll be spinning the drop spindle to make the yarn. Keeping tension on your spun yarn, allow the twist to run into the newly drafted fiber. Keep repeating this process and check that there is enough twist before you move on. When the yarn is long enough that the spindle almost touches the ground, unhook it and wrap it around the base of the spindle next to the whorl. This is called a single. You'll want to leave enough yarn unwound so that you can slip it back on the book with a couple of inches to spare. If you find that the yarn is pulling apart or too slack, spin your spindle again to store more of the twist. Overlap the wool a few inches of the fluff of drafted fibers, so that you can catch and twist more onto the leader. Allow the twist to run into the joined fibers, adding more twist by spinning the spindle, because you want to make sure that your join is secure. To test the join, give the spindle another twist and bring your right hand back to where the left hand holds the yarn. Move your left hand back about three inches, as you pull and draft out more fibers of wool and allow the spindle to turn a few times. Release the yarn with your right hand and left the twist move up into the fibers as you did previously. Now, gently pull more fibers from the fiber mass by pulling back with your left hand, and allowing the twist to run into the drafted fibers.

summary: Collect your tools to make a drop spindle. Insert cup hook into the top of the dowel. Insert the grommet into the hole between two CDs. Slide the dowel into the center of the grommet. Prepare your roving. Tie on your leader. Spin the fibers. Wind on new fiber. Join more fiber.

Summarize the following:
Get a medium-sized bowl and position a candle at the bottom of it. A taper candle works best, but any candle can work. Then, pour water into the bowl until the candle is almost covered. Leave about 1in (2.5cm) of candle sticking out of the water for the spell. It's best to use a black candle, if you have one. You can find a black taper candle at a department store, magickal supplies store, or online. Pour salt into your hand, then slowly sprinkle it in a circle around the candle. Add as much salt as you like to provide extra purification to your spell. You can use table salt for this, but it's best to use sea salt or Epsom salt if you have it. They haven't been processed like table salt, so their properties are more intact. a white light flowing into the water. Stare at the bowl of water and picture a beam of white light flowing into the bowl. Imagine that this light is a positive, cleansing light. Take several slow, deep breaths as you visualize the light. In Pagan traditions, the purpose of this practice is to imbue the water with positive energy to help your spell work. Use a match or lighter to light the candle. As it burns, recite a spell or say a prayer to break your curse. Make sure you finish your spell before the candle goes out. You might say, "Earth, fire, water, and air, be the answer to my prayer, banish this curse and leave me pure, tonight I claim a blessed cure." You could pray, "Dear God/Goddess, Please cleanse me of this negative energy and lift the curse. I know that you will make me free. Amen." Don't blow out your candle because it's best to let it go out on its own. Let the candle continue burning until the wick reaches the water. At that point, the water will extinguish the fire. Your spell is almost complete! In Pagan traditions, it's believed that letting a candle go out on its own strengthens the spell and keeps the magic in place. Remove the candle from the water and bend it at the center. Keep bending until it breaks in half. Then, take the bowl and the candle outside. Dig a shallow hole and bury your candle. Burying the candle completes the spell to break the curse. Slowly pour the water so that you're able to complete an entire circle. If you still have water, make another pass. You do this to seal the spell. The salt may kill grass around the buried candle.
summary: Put a candle in a bowl and add water up to 1in (2.5cm) from the tip. Sprinkle a handful of salt into the water around the candle. Visualize Light the candle, then say your spell or prayer. Let the candle burn down to the water and go out. Break the candle in half and bury it outside. Pour the water in a circle around the buried candle.
