A beginner’s guide to
Spell casting
Magick is the most ancient of all the
spiritual arts. Yet it is one that has an important place in the modern
world. It is a source of personal power and protection and above all it
helps us to connect with nature and the slower more harmonious rhythms of
life.
White magic is entirely positive
and harms no one, but seeks only to bring good things into your lives, to
those we love and into the world. In return for the blessings we ask for we
promise to do some specific act of kindness to balance the energies. You
can’t use magick to ask for a multi million pound lottery win, but you
can ask for what you really need and a little more.
Our ancestors practiced the folk spells that
are at the heart of magic to bring them love and enough to eat, to keep
their families safe and healthy and to attract good luck, abundance and
fertility.
This in no way clashes with religious
beliefs because magic acknowledges a supreme force of goodness and light,
though often in magic people talk of the Goddess, the mother who made and
cares for all. Often too angels are called upon for blessings and
protection. In magic what you send out you receive back three times as
powerfully, so any bad magic such as sending bad luck to others reflects
back on the sender.
Most importantly it is not about the
dramatic and weird effects you see in movies, but about carrying out a
simple private ritual to fill your energy field with the powers you need
to draw love to you, get a good job and to protect yourself from
unkindness or awaken your natural fertility powers, so that you can make
life more as you want it.
You can also empower a symbol to carry,
wear or keep around your home that you fill with the powers of the spell
you cast to remind you wherever you are that you have the necessary power
to win through.
The symbol should be something that reminds
you of the purpose of the spell, for example a key charm or a small unused
keep if you want a new home, a tiny panel for travel, a silver heart or a
locket for love and small purse of copper, silver and gold coins to
attract money.
Natural materials are always good for making
a symbol and if you craft the image yourself from clay, dough or beeswax,
then you are able to endow it with your own personal essence from the
start. Beeswax melted over a candle or a softened beeswax sheet is perfect
because you can fashion any image, such as a heart for love or a baby in a
cradle for fertility. Children’s play clay is ideal or you could make a
dough or bread symbol and eat it afterwards to absorb the power.
But in theory there is no limit to what you
use as a symbol as long as there is a clear connection whether visual or
mental to bind it to the spell purpose.
A
basic spell
You
can cast a spell for any positive purpose
so long as it is entirely positive
and harms no one, but seeks only to bring good things into your lives, to
those we love and into the world.
You will need:
-
A
table with a white cloth on which to work.
-
Choose the symbol and
put it in the centre of the table where you will be working.
-
You will need to a
dish of salt for the Earth element. Put this furthest away from you in
the centre of the far horizontal table edge, straight ahead of you as
you face the table at which you are working
-
An incense stick in a
holder for the Air element, at the centre of the right hand vertical
edge of the table in the centre as you face the table
-
A candle nearest to
you and directly opposite the salt in the centre of the horizontal edge
for the Fire element.
-
A
small bowl of mineral water or water from a tap that has been left to
run for the Water element in the centre of the left edge as you face the
table.
Begin....
-
by picturing a circle
of light surrounding you and the table.
-
Ask for the protection
of your guardian angels and say that you will work for the greatest good
and the best intentions.
-
Pick up the symbol and
hold it in your cupped hands.
-
Say aloud your name,
‘I am—‘ and if you wish adopt a special name for magic, perhaps one you
have always loved or that of a flower, star or tree to express yourself
as you would like to become.
-
Then say, ‘I seek if
it is right to be’ and ask precisely for what you want.
-
Then say’ I offer’ and
name what kindness you will do to pay the cosmos for the blessing you
are asking for.
-
Light the candle and
your incense stick or cone from the candle.
-
Then put your symbol
back in the centre and make three small clockwise circles of salt round
it, asking for the strength and security of the earth to fill your
symbol with power. You can picture the earth as golden fields, forests
or huge rocks or however you wish.
-
Next pass your incense
smoke three times in spirals round the symbol asking that it is filled
with the power of the Air. Picture the air as clouds, the wind blowing
or a storm if you need to overcome obstacles filling your symbol with
energies and the possibilities of change.
-
Next either pass your
candle three times round the symbol or if you prefer pass the symbol
round the candle three times clockwise asking that it is filled with the
power of Fire. Imagine the sun, a hearth, bonfire, festival fire or
lightning providing the energy to bring your wish into actuality.
-
Finally sprinkle three
circles of water drops clockwise round the symbol asking that it be
filled with the power of water. Picture a deep lake, the sea, a
waterfall or flowing river according to the kind of water power you need
to make the good things flow into your life. It does not matter if your
salt and water circles overlap or are different.
Now you are going to fill your symbol with
power:
-
There are lots of ways
you can do this. For example you could repeat a phrase over and over
again faster and faster raise the power, while clapping softly
-
Alternatively or as
well as chanting, you can move your hands over the symbol, the right
hand clockwise and the left anti clockwise at the same time, palms
downwards and fingers slightly curved inwards, faster and faster.
-
If you wish, circle a
wand clockwise in the hand you write with while moving the other hand in
the opposite direction. Crystal massage wands make excellent magical
wands or you could use a smooth twig from a tree, that tapers inwards to
a point and at the same time imagine your aura, the rainbow energy field
surrounding you and the symbol, as filling with coloured lights
-
Keep increasing the
speed and intensity until you can sense the energies sparkling round you
and feel very excited. At this point bring your hands or your hand and
wand upwards into the air, down again fast and clap to release the
power, maybe saying the phrase very loudly and fast for the last time.
-
Then pick up the
symbol and stand quietly letting the released energies flow into you and
the symbol.
-
Finally press down
with your feet and let any excess energy drain back into the ground.
-
Picture the light of
the circle you cast round you fading and thank your guardian angel
-
Put your symbol in a
bag to carry or keep and touch to reactivate the confidence and
enthusiasm you feel now.
-
Leave the candle and
incense to burn out (make sure it is safe to do so)
-
If you feel you no
longer need the symbol, roll the clay back into a ball and bury it
under a growing plant or pass the incense stick smoke round it anti
clockwise to cleanse the spell energies so you can use it another time.
Now go and make
that first step towards making your dream come true
