Supplies needed

A length of White Cord,
A length of Red Cord,
A length of Black Cord
Nine Feathers, each of a Different Color

Red for physical vitality,
Blue for mental abilities, peace and protection,
Yellow for cheerfulness and prosperity,

Brown for stability and respect,
Black for mystical wisdom,
Iridescent Black for mystical insight,
Barred Black, Gray or White for balance and harmony,

Feathers with "eyes" such as peacock feathers for protection and inner
clairvoyant
vision

If it is possible, make the Ladder on the night of a Full Moon. Arrange your
alter and cast a circle. Use about a yard of each color yarn. Tie the ends
together and braid them together while you say :

Yarn of Red, Black, and White
Work Your magic spell this night.

Repeat this until the braid is finished. Braiding is a magickal act because it
makes three strands into one. This represents the three aspects of the Goddess
in one. Tie a knot at the end of the braid. Starting at about a foot from the
beginning of the braid, tie a feather with a knot around the base and say :
(example a green feather)

With this feather and this string
Prosperity this charm will bring.

Tie all nine feathers to the cord, spacing them as evenly as possible. Tie the
ends of the cord together to form a circle. Pass the finished Ladder above a
candle flame then incense smoke. Sprinkle it with consecrated water and say :

In the names of the Goddess and the God
By Air, Earth, Fire and Water
I consecrate this charm
Of feathers nine and cord of three
As I will, so mote it be!

Hang the Ladder where it will not be seen by others but where you will see it
every day.

To make a Ladder for a specific purpose, you need three feathers and one length
of yarn braided into a cord in the color of your need.
