The real Secret of Spell Casting
The power that makes a spell work is not to be found in some new
recipe book.The real power that makes a spell work dwells within
you, and surrounds you. The real secret of successful spellcasting,
as with all magic, is your connection to divinity, within and
without. Your thoughts, willpower, feelings, and physical exertions
are actually all expressions or forms of this divine energy --
just as air, water, fire, and earth are all forms of divine energy.
When you understand the true nature of the energy you work with,
you can make real magic.
9 Steps to Casting Your Spell
1. cast a circle and connect with the divinity within
2. call
upon the divinity from without
3. state the goal of your spell
4. visualize your goal
5. raise energy by chanting, dancing, or
drumming
6. direct your energy to the spell's goal
7. release
the energy of your spell, ground any excess energy
8. offer libation
and thanks and close your circle
9. act in accord and give back
in thanks
Casting a spell? Don't forget to:
- decide on your goal
- find guidance for your spell from an oracle or divation tool
- prepare your space by cleansing with salt water or herbs such
as sage
- read Witchcraft Without Rules
5 Facts for Successful Spellcasting:
- Passion
fuels a successful spell; doubt can kill it.
- Spells
can be performed almost anywhere -- though I don't recommend
attempting it while in the midst of rush-hour traffic! You do
need to work without being disturbed when you cast a spell.
So find a quiet and private place, preferably outdoors.
- Once
you've cast a spell, don't talk about it -- or even think about
it -- for 24 hours!
- An
old axiom says that spells should rhyme. A rhymed spell has
rhythm and joyfulness in it, it's easy to remember and repeat,
and the repetition itself creates an altered, magical consciousness.
- A
spell is only used to control yourself, never another or Nature
and remember, you should not do spellwork on someone else's
behalf without their permission.
