Experience For over twenty years have I been a practicing Wiccan and practitioner of Western Ceremonial Magick. Thus, I am always looking to network and communicate with other like minded individuals who are looking to explore the spiritual and metaphysical boundaries outside of the confines of the commonly accepted mundane parameters.
Education/Credentials Long have I traveled down the path of spiritual growth. I have been initiated into and am learned in several esoteric orders. My educational studies have been very eclectic. I am a professional with multiple degrees from mundane institutions, and multiple degrees from less "traditional" institutions as well as years of "self-taught" learnings from practitioners of various "crafts." I am a certified Usui Reiki Master, Tibetan Reiki Master, and Chikara-Reiki-Do Master.
I was Ordained (by certification & ordination letter) through the Universal Life Church (ULC) and Monastery in 2001.
I also have an education in comparative religions and serve as a traveling Pagan Clergy Minister. I practice Wicca and Western Ceremonial Magick and observe the rites of both. By practice I observe the Sabbats, Esbats, and Full & New Moon Rituals. I do teach students and am a certified Instructor of Metaphysics.
Please note that I am licensed to perform legal marriages. The majority of states have defined a legal marriage as a legal and ceremonial union between a male and female couple.
Paganism and Modern Wicca/Witchcraft as belief systems are more relevant today than ever. I feel that as human beings the need for belief in a higher power(s) is/are instinctive and necessary for survival.

Question I have had amulets created for me, one to protect me from legal troubles at work, and an another amulet(made of tiger eye) to bring forth good luck. These were created a year ago at a Wicca shop.
I'm told they need renewing to keep their strength up
How and when(moon phase) would be a good time to do this?
Answer Dade,
Well met! I found your question in the collective pool and decided to answer it as I believe that others can benefit from it as well.
An amulet should be recharged periodically as the power will be siphoned off as it works. The recharge ceremony should never be made to be too complicated and by nature is a relatively simple process.
Create an anointing oil of your choosing (olive oil mixed with cinnamon, for example) and then pray over it by yellow colored candlelight. Your thoughts and prayers and energy should be directed into the vessel holding the oil. After the oil has been charged and consecrated then anoint the amulet with it and begin to chant and pray to the force and goal of what it was designed to do. This should be done by yellow colored candlelight as well.
Here is a simple charging: "I dedicate this amulet to you Great Archangel Michael, to protect me from harm and to provide me with the energy I need to make my desires a reality."
At a minimum you should dedicate the amulet to the force that powers it and should concentrate very hard on directing your own living energy into the piece. After you have "made the amulet your own" so to speak by energizing it, giving it purpose, and placing it into use you should conduct a recharge ceremony periodically. Like anything else the more you do it, the more energy it will absorb and thus radiate. I have found that this can be done anytime that is convenient for you when YOU are feeling the strongest and have the quiet time to dedicate to the task. Ideally the height of a new moon is best for charging, but the real power lies within you.
