| Why
do we use Visualisation in our spells? |
|
Visualisation is the ability to see in your mind pictures and
images. It is vital for spell working that you have a clear vision
of your desired result.

| What
is the Wiccan Rede? |
| An
it harm none do what you will. This means that as long as you don't
harm or control any person or animal, then your magic should be
for the good of all. Please note that a love spell aimed at a specific
person is intended to control another's will and is therefore a
harmful spell and breaks the Wiccan rede. |
| |
| Why cast a circle? |
| When
you are attempting any ritual it is important that you cast a circle.
This is to create sacred space, which will give you protection from
unwanted outside influences, and keep the power that you raise within
it for you to use. |
| |
| Make sure that you will not be disturbed.
|
| Take
the phone of the hook, and if possible turn the door bell off. Allow
yourself plenty of time where you will not be disturbed, interruptions
will ruin your concentration. |

Spell To Cheer You Up
For this simple spell you will need an orange candle and a small circle of paper slightly smaller in diameter than the base of the candle. Draw a smiling face on the piece of paper.
Take the candle in your hands and strongly "see" yourself happy, smiling, cheerful and confident. Then put the smiley face in a candle holder and push the candle into the holder on top of the paper. Place the candle in a fireproof container (a cast iron cauldron would be ideal if you have one, or otherwise a bowl of damp earth or sand), put the container in a safe place away from curtains, draughts, animals and children etc. Light the candle, thinking of yourself as happy and cheerful as you do so, then leave it to burn out.
This spell will give you a charge of positive energy which will lift your spirits and help you through a period of depression, flatness or tiredness.

| What
is a Spell & how do they work |
| A
spell is a ritual performed to achieve a desired goal. It works
by the art of transforming, and influencing an undesired situation
and changing it in your favour. It is accomplished by the use
of willpower, visualisation and raised energy. Combine those with
the forces of nature, the elements, the phases of the moon, and
the Goddess and God. If you believe in yourself and have a positive
outlook on life, you can perform a spell. Magic should be used
for the good of all, always make sure in your mind that you are
doing them for the right reasons. |
| |
| Is there
any payback? |
|
The
law of three fold return means very simply that what you do
will come back to you three fold, whether for good or ill. This
simple truth means that you should never perform any spell to
harm or control as it will ultimately not only harm your intended
victim but also yourself. In Wicca we have to accept responsibility
for what we do. Magic and Spells do work and they always take
the easiest and quickest route. Always make sure that you have
tried your best on the material plane to resolve the situation
before you even consider performing a spell.

| When
should you perform your spells? |
Depending
on your spell, you should aim to work them with the cycles
of the moon to receive the most effective results. The three
aspects of the moon are the Waxing (or New), Full and Waning.
The
New Moon
The Moon is waxing and growing. This should be a time to plan
spells that introduce new beginnings and projects. A new career,
house move, job, relationship, any new venture in life.
Full
Moon
This is a time when the Moon is at its most powerful, and
the magic most potent. Performing any positive spell at this
time will achieve good results. This is the ideal time for
healing, guidance, and completion spells
Waning
Moon
The casting out of the old ways, banishing old habits, smoking,
eating habits, the removal of troubles and worries.
|
| |
| Purification |
| Always take
a bath or shower before any ritual. It will help you to unwind,
remove unwanted stresses and worries, and allow purification of
the body and mind. It should leave you feeling focused and refreshed
for a circle. |
