Elemental Water Spell for Dealing with a Job You Hate

 Many people can relate to the idea of working at a job they do not like, or even despise. While this setting is the example for this spell, elemental water can obviously help you adapt to a range of situations.

NOTE: Always read through a magical operation multiple times to commit the procedure to memory before enacting the magic. It is also a good idea to enter a magical state of consciousness before working any magic.

The Adaptability of the Water Element

The elemental quality of water corresponds to physical water. By this token just as the fluid we call water can take on the form of its container and roll with ease over a hard surface, the water element possesses the property of flexibility or adaptability. It is receptive and not resistant; strike at it and it will invite your force in and spread unharmed about the intrusion.

In martial arts, a watery defense involves sliding back and just out of reach and then, when the opponent reaches the end of their momentum, crashing back with your own strike. If entangled with an opponent, water is letting the momentum of their push carry you back, then as the push settles, you push off at an angle to their trajectory and sweep them away.

Focus on the middle of the above examples. The act of sliding safely out of harm's way or letting yourself be pushed back yet remaining calm and comfortable in that moment.

Return to the idea of taking the form of your container, or environment. You can be at a job you hate, doing things you prefer to not be doing with a calm, neutral attitude because you know it won't last forever and there is a payday on the other side of it.

Water Magic for Dealing with the Job or other Scene You Hate

This magic will do the following work:

1. Bring the influence of elemental water into your energy field and body and your surrounding area.
2. Charge a stone or crystal that corresponds to water to be especially potent in its calming, watery emanations. This can be used ongoing as a water amulet.
3. Create an affirmation or brief incantation you can use in the future to quickly bring the water quality into yourself and your surroundings. 

Enact this magic before you leave for work. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time, at least 20 minutes for this. It is imperative that you are able to relax and not be rushed during this work.

Get a piece of chrysocolla or amazonite, a piece of paper or cardstock, and a blue marker. Set those aside a moment.

Attune to the Water Element

Burn some watery incense like mint or geranium or chew some mint leaves. Take some water on your fingers and in your hands and splash it gently onto your face, allowing it to roll off. 

As you light the incense or retrieve your stone do so with a carefree attitude. You have plenty of time and there is no point stressing over anything. You are alive and going through the motions and routines of your life; all is as it should be and you will be able to find peace regardless of what happens.

1. Take a deep breath, slowly and evenly filling your lungs. 
2. When you reach the end of the in-breath pause for a few seconds, however long feels right.
3. Then slowly exhale until the out breath feels finished. 
4. At the end of the outbreath just hand a few seconds until your body naturally wants to breathe in again.

That is one cycle. Breathe like this for seven cycles. At no point should you be forcing or chasing the breath; let it come and flow easily. As you breathe in imagine a wave pushing you back; when you breathe out imagine wave bringing you forward.

Take up your page, marker, and stone. Hold the stone in your receptive hand -- opposite the hand you write with -- and feel its calming, cooling energy. Amazonite and Chrysocolla are excellent for this as most people can readily feel their calm aura.

Visualize the symbol for elemental water; a blue circle with a horizontal line through the middle. 

Recite the following incantation:

"Like water I flow wherever I go relaxed and controlled, on purpose and slow. Whatever comes up I already know accustom to the situation I will grow.  

See the image of the circle with the line through it shift into a blue wave in your mind.

Repeat the incantation a second time.

"Like water I flow wherever I go relaxed and controlled, on purpose and slow. Whatever comes up I already know accustom to the situation I will grow.  

Add the following: "Water flow flow flow through me. In rhythm I adapt." Repeat this statement often hereafter to immediately conjure the frequency of elemental water.

By hereafter I not only mean the days ahead, but from here on. A year from now the statement above will still be an incantation to bring water energy into your persona and presence; the more you use it the stronger it becomes.

Now lay your stone in the center of the page and draw the elemental triangle of water around it from the top left corner moving to the right as you say "Into form I bring my intention. To life this magic comes. Adaptability flows through me." Feel your watery intentions manifest within you as you become more fluid and adaptable.

Visualize currents of the waster quality pouring into the stone and remaining there. Amazonite and Chrysocolla naturally channel and emanate elemental water so you are merely activating the trait in the mineral and intending to connect with it.

Carry the water-charged stone with you as a physical amulet to keep the water quality flowing within and around you. All amulets and charged items fade with time but you should have at least several months before having to charge the stone, which is naturally water-corresponding, again.

Discard the image with the triangle drawn on it by tearing it up and tossing it, burning it, or letting it dissolve in water then dumping the water later. Leave the work area and relax, forgetting about the magic and letting it run its course.
