article: Sea water is already considered sacred in most Pagan traditions. If you'd like to use sea water for blessings and rituals, gather a little in a small bottle and leave an offering of thanks in return. For example, you might leave some fresh flowers or a little food (such as fruit or vegetables) that the animals living in the area can eat. If you want to use water in fertility rituals, set out an open container, such as a glass jar or chalice, to gather some rain. You can also gather the water from a well or rainwater reservoir. Water gathered during a lightning storm is thought to be infused with powerful energy. You can also collect morning dew for use in rituals relating to beauty, healing, and rejuvenation. Practitioners of many religious traditions believe that salt can help ward off unfriendly spirits and entities. To make holy water for this purpose, place the water in a chalice. Say prayers over the salt and water that are appropriate for your particular Pagan tradition, then combine the 2 ingredients together and say a final prayer to bless the water and make it holy. For example, you might first dip your fingers or a magic wand into the water and say the following prayer: "Behold this water that is the giver of life. I ask that this water be blessed and purified and made holy. In the name of Goddess and of God, in love, light, peace, and trust." Next, dip your fingers or wand into the salt and recite: "Behold the salt that is the preserver of life. I ask that this salt be blessed and consecrated and purified. In the name of Goddess and of God, in love, light, peace, and trust." Add a pinch of the salt to the water and mix them together, stirring in a clockwise direction. After you're done mixing, say the final prayer while still touching the mixture of water and salt: "For, as the water is holy and as the salt is holy, may the union of these two be blessed and purified and consecrated. In the name of Goddess and of God, by the almighty power of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, may this now be holy water, to be used in goodness, love, light, peace, and trust. So mote it be." Any kind of water or salt will work for this purpose, including tap water and table salt. In addition to dispelling negative energy, many Pagan magic practitioners believe you can use this type of holy water to bless and purify your body by gently dabbing it on your skin. Many Pagans believe that simply exposing water to moonlight can make it holy. Put any type of water in the container of your choice and set it in a place where it will receive plenty of moonlight. You can "charge" this water with any intention you like and use it for a variety of purposesfor example, you might use it in love spells or purification rituals. Preferably, you should use a silver or glass container for this purpose, since these materials are believed to be good at holding spiritual energy. As you set out the container of water, say a prayer or chant expressing your intention for the water. For example, you might ask for a blessing of love, purity, or protection. In addition to consecrating your water by moonlight, many Pagans believe you can bring extra lunar blessings by putting a piece of silver metal into the water. Choose any silver object, such as a ring or a coin, and drop it into the water before leaving it out in the moonlight. For a sunlight blessing, which is associated with healing and positive energy, you can add a piece of gold to the water and leave it out in the sun. Add silver to a bowl with snow and ice and charge it with an intention such as "freezing" your enemies or getting stuck energies to flow. You can then put this "Winter Blessing Water" out in the light of the full moon to make it holy.

article:
Hanging out with someone outside of school is a great way to get to know them better and become friends. Ask your parents if you can have a friend over after school. If they say yes, invite someone over from class or your lunch table that you get along with. Plan on doing things that you know the person will enjoy. For example, if you talk about video games with each other a lot in school, pick out a couple of your favorite video games so you can both play when they come over. If your parents are OK with it, invite over 2 or 3 people. Sometimes it's easier to make friends when you're in a bigger group. When you join a club, you'll get introduced to lots of different people that like the same kinds of things that you like. Making friends with someone is easier when you both enjoy the same stuff. Ask a teacher or your parents for a list of after-school activities and pick 1 or 2 of them that you're the most excited about. Introduce yourself to everyone when you attend your first club meeting so people know you're friendly and approachable. Just like clubs, sports teams are a great place to meet like-minded people that you can be friends with. If you join a sports team, you'll get to hang out with your teammates during practices and competitions. Over time, you could become good friends with some of the other people on your team! If you have a cell phone, exchange numbers with people at school so you can text and call them during the weekend break. You can also invite people to hang out with you over the weekend. Spending time with people from school on the weekends will help you get to know them better and become friends with them. For example, you could make plans with someone to go see a movie or hang out at the park on a Saturday.
