LLEWELLYN'S SPELL-A-DAY

Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee

Today is the birthday of former heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali. The spell's title is how he described his boxing style - he danced about (floated) so that his opponent couldn't land blows: "His hands can't hit what his eyes can't see." When Ali's blows landed, however, they stung.
This spell makes you invisible to enemies. Should an enemy approach, and a confrontation is unavoidable, that's where your stinger comes in.
Surround yourself with a circle of white light, visualizing the great champion within yourself.
Impale a white candle with several pins (stingers). Hold a fan (representing a butterfly) in your hand.
Fanning yourself, recite:

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, his/her hands can't hit what his/her eyes can't see."

(Change "hit" to "reach" or whatever applies.)
