Re: patience spell
Locate an arcade with a good first person shooter and spend some quality time killing things a couple times a week. Admittedly it's not a spell in the traditional sense but it's a good way to distract the mind and if appropriate vent. Daily walks can work but shooting stuff is more fun. Pricier but much more fun.life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

Re: patience spell
I have a rule.
Never, ever, under any circumstances, ask any force in the Universe, for strength or patience. The Universe will conspire to send things, events & people your way that will show you, in no uncertain terms, exactly how strong and patient you can be.
Trust me, strength & patience spells are a trap.The forum member formerly known as perzephone. Or Perze. I've shed a skin.Comment

Re: patience spell
Heh, I have a variant on that rule. Just never thought of applying it to patience but yeah patience is something I don't want help developing.life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness.

Re: patience spell
Why have a spell when a few comic strips can drive the point home?

Re: patience spell
StumbleUpon. Not just a procrastination tool.
Also, maybe try breathing exercises. They aren't spells in the sense of lighting candles and chanting something... although, you could always light some candles and play a chant in the background to set the ambiance. But I think breathing exercises help develop patience.�Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.�

Re: patience spell
My only experience with patience in this context is that I was once told by a goddess to have it when I asked for something, and she was right. And in that situation it was something I had to learn, not something that could be given.Comment

Re: patience spell
This is where having a good meditative practice comes in--you don't need a spell, you need to be able to drain and channel the emotions and energy that comes from the feelings you get in those situations where you need patience--frustration, anger, exasperation, etc.Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of HistoryPagan Devotionals, because the wind and the rain is our Bible
