Where Magick come to life

Modern Wicca

Many people argue that Wicca is a 20th century neo-pagan faith, a new religion, while others say it has been around since the Ice Age, the old religion.

Wicca is actually both. Todays witches follow the traditions of old and are the shamans and healers of today. Witches practice sacred magic from the ancient art in today’s world.

After Gerald Gardener’s initiation by Dorothy Clutterbuck aka Old Dorothy, into a traditional British coven in 1939, Gerald published books about the beliefs of British Wiccans. He wrote of their practices because he feared the religion was going to die out. Doing this broke the coven’s seal of secrecy but many people started converting to Wicca. This was the beginning of modern Wicca.

People still find it difficult to accept that witches are good and still are in fear of them. Witchcraft has adapted through time, but since the Burning Times, Witches are now learning to live openly once more. There is no blood sacrifices or harm to any living animal anymore. Witches respect all living beings and honor them.

Every Wiccan is a witch, but every witch is not Wiccan. Wiccan witches serve the Goddess in any way they see fit using their abilities and personal circumstances. Wiccans do whatever they please and decide for themselves how they conducted by obeying The Wiccan Rede.

Wicca is an Earth religion. Wiccans respect all people and are open minded to diversities and consider everyone to be children of the same Mother, regardless of race, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientation, gender or status. These diversities are not important to Wiccans.

There isn’t a central organization or governing body and no supreme leader in Wicca. Wiccans temples are natural places of worship, be it a forest, beach, mountain, whatever, it really does not matter. Wicca is simply a collection of its witches with their beliefs and practices. Wiccans do not force anybody even their children to follow Wicca, they allow their children to decide for themselves if they choose to follow any religion. Being a child of a Wiccan witch does not mean they are automatically Wiccan, only if they choose to be. Many Wiccans wear a pentacle, mainly for protection. Wiccans choose their own lifestyle. Food is not restricted. Wiccans can eat meat or just be vegetarian. It is a free choice just as all of a Wiccans life. Wicca is becoming a popular worldwide faith. Wiccans never try to convert anybody to their beliefs and never knock on doors or ask for money.

Believing in Wicca is a way of life, an organic religion which celebrates Mother Nature.

Wicca is a happy religion. It is also a personal and positive celebration of life. Anybody can choose to become a Wiccan. There are just two rules, abide by The Wiccan Rede, and more importantly accept the Great Goddess into your life. Only then will you be ready to perform real magic.

Witchcraft Spells and Wicca Black Magic Explained

Witchcraft Spells and the Wicca are of Black Magic has so many rumors and myths it is impossible to keep up. If you do a basic search of any of the above terms you will find countless pages dedicated to Black Magic, Wicca, Witchcraft and more. What pages have the RIGHT information and directions if a person wants to learn about the Wicca faith?

How can one tell what is written in truth and what is not?

A good way to start to study the REAL aspects of Wicca Witchcraft or Black Magick is to read, read and read some more. Overall, the TRUTH will have more wrtitten about it then the myths or superstitions. Websites that are truth based will be plentiful and sites with made up stories and facts will be far less and many will not match. In other words, the Wicca faith is a faith that has positive and overall GOOD aspects but a few people will write negative things about it. Just as any faith. The same holds true for Witchcraft and Black Magic. The Term Balck Magick sounds evil in itself but did you know it is simply a term used to describe what type of Witchcraft it is? In other words, Black Magic can be used for good.

Consider Black Magick, Witchcraft or any faith of the “Magick” realm a tool per se. This tool can be used for good or evil. It truly depends on the person using the tool. The tool itself is not evil or dark.

Now, the majority of Witchcraft practicioners are dark and the majority or Wicca or Wiccans are of a positive or good nature. Of course there are exceptions to both. Also, Black Magic is a dark or negative art for the most part but once again, this is NOT the case 100% of the time. The bottom line is to educate yourself on all aspects so you can clearly find what is real and what is false.

Black Magic Witchcraft can actually be used for good and many positive things.

Many positive Spells and Spell Casters use Black Magic Witchcraft for a wide array of things. Good and Evil. Remember, there are always many sides to a story. Trust your instincts and do your research and you will always find the real meanings to what you seek.

Initiation Into Wicca

What is Initiation?

Do not assume the title of a witch lightly.

Some traditions believe that you can not be a witch unless you have been initiated by a high priest/ess. This is a little impractical as there just aren’t enough high priest/esses to train and initiate newcomers. Wicca is growing at a tremendous rate again and is even establishing itself into new countries and cultures.

If you feel entitled to call yourself a witch, then do so, unless you would prefer to mark this transition in your life by a ceremony within a coven. Being initiated within a coven is usual after successfully completing study and demonstrating the understanding of Wicca. It will often take 1 year and 1 day before initiation.

Being a solitary practitioner, it is often difficult to know when you will be ready to call yourself a witch. The best way is to read and practice what you read. Read 10 serious books about Wicca and/or mythology.

Some excellent books are:

  • The Wicca Handbook by Eileen Holland

The Wicca Handbook is a tutorial for new witches and an excellent reference book. Includes the first steps to becoming a witch, explores Wiccan traditions, rituals and ceremonies and spell casting.

  • Wicca – A Guide For The Solitary Practioner by Scott Cunningham

One of the most widely recommended books for anybody walking these paths. It is a positive introduction to Wicca and designed so that you can learn and practice alone. Other books by Scott Cunningham include Earth, Fire & Water, Earth Power, Magical Aromatherapy, Magical Herbalism and Living Wicca.

  • The Earth Path by Starhawk
  • The Spiral Dance by Starhawk

America’s favorite Witch shows how to tap into the forces of Mother Nature.

  • The Witches’ Bible by Janet and Stewart Farrar

Includes two books, Eight Sabbats for Witches and The Witches Way. Comprehensive and revealing work on the principles, rituals and beliefs of modern witchcraft. Janet and Stewart Farrar are well known and respected, currently residing in Ireland and regularly tour the US giving lectures and workshops.

Teach yourself and set a period of time and some tasks to do. Learn how to make incense or candles or even wands. Anything that you feel you need to know. Study herbalism is good practice. Always keep a diary and a notepad handy. When you feel you have learned enough are comfortable in calling yourself a “witch”, then do so. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself “I am a witch!”

Some witches are born witches. Hereditary witches are raised in the family traditions.

Some people have a natural ability for magic. Some have natural psychic gifts. If you have always thought you were different to other people, maybe you should look at your family history. Maybe you are a natural witch by descent. If you suspect you are, you probably are.

Wicca Symbols and Their Explanation

There are many different symbols used in wicca that a true practitioner should know about. These wicca symbols represent different types of energy and aspects of the spiritual world. The most basic to understand and develop a relationship with when it comes to wicca symbols are the basic elements. These are the foundation of everything physical that you can touch. So let’s begin our study.

Earth is the first of the elements we need to talk about when it comes to wicca symbols. The symbol for earth is an upside down triangle with a horizontal line running through it. Earth is the foundation of everything. It represents firmness, vision, stability, fertility, material abundance, and growth.

Earth is also represented on a compass as north. It is represented by the angel Raphael and is ruled by the planet mercury. Develop an understanding of this element as it is the foundation of everything. It is the physical world and it is where our food comes from. Not to mention the fact that it gives us a place to live. This is why it has been referred to as mother earth for so long. It feeds us, clothes us, nurtures us, and gives us home and hearth.

Water is the next element we need to talk about. Water is still a solid, but begins to move toward the realm of the elements that cannot be touched. All of the elements can be experienced, but you can’t pick up a handful of water like you can a handful of dirt. The symbol for water is an upside down triangle. Water represents intelligence, change, flow, intuition, inner knowledge, sympathy, and love.

West is the cardinal direction represented by water. Gabrielle is the angel associated with water and the planet associated with water is the moon. Water is the next of wicca symbols to understand. It is the essence of human life. Without water, we would all die. It is the most essential element of survival.

Fire is the third of wicca symbols and it is represented by a triangle right side up. Fire represents those energies of expansion, direct commitment, courage, purification, creativity, the higher self, and the will to dare.

West is the cardinal direction of fire and Michael is the angel represented by fire. The sun is the planet associated with fire. Fire is the next element because it can still be seen but never touched or grasped. As we move up the chart of the elements, we begin to move into those areas that can be experienced, but not touched or tasted as rocks and dirt can. Fire is necessary for warmth and cooking.

Air is the fourth of the wicca symbols to develop an understanding about and it’s symbol is a right side up triangle with a horizontal line through the middle. Air is represented by south on the compass and includes aspects of communication, spontaneity, concentration, compassion, warrior ship, giving, concern, and empathy.

The planet Venus is associated with the element of air and Ariel is the angel. Air is that aspect of breathing, freedom, and movement which is necessary to the success and happiness of all living creatures.

The spirit is the fifth and final of wicca symbols we will discuss here. The spirit is located on the compass directly in the middle of all the other elements. It is the balance between them all and includes the ability to shift from one to the next with ease. It represents understanding of all the other elements. Spirit is everything and everything is spirit.

The spirit is represented by the planet Saturn. It’s angel is Cassiel.

Develop an understanding of all of these wicca symbols and use them on a daily basis. As you expand on your studies and learn how to be a witch and a wiccan practitioner, your understanding of these elements will be absolutely essential to your growth.

The Changing Face of Wicca in India

The reason why witchcraft is commonly considered a territory that is taboo is because most traditional connotations of the term associate it with different senses of ‘harmful’. This is in spite of the fact that the etymology actually encompasses implications of ‘curative’ and ‘benign’.’ Wicca’, the Old English masculine noun meaning ‘male witch, wizard’ somehow evolved into embracing the domain of female spirituality. However, popular opinion seems to be that notwithstanding the ‘Wizard of Oz’, a male witch is also a ‘witch’, and not a ‘warlock’ as is sometimes assumed. It is only that through long association, the word witch has come to have a female feel to it, phonetically and conceptually.

Association with necromancy or black magic has rendered the subject a lot of mistrust as it hints on the potential to do harm and psychic control over the course of nature. Wiccans maintain that Wicca is the ‘craft of the wise’ and this idea comes closest to the meaning of ‘necromancy’ in the Faust legend. Remember Dr. Faustus giving up his soul in order to conquer ultimate knowledge? However, Christopher Marlowe’s ‘Dr. Faustus’, happens to be written approximately at the same time as Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ where the famous witches of literature call on the powers of evil to cause every kind of harm.

In India, witchcraft as a practice has been associated with evil since ages and it is generally accepted to be a deplorable sphere. There is of course no practical basis for such an assumption and it is mostly an offshoot of superstition, ignorance and lack of education. Witch hunts and persecutions are rampant in Indian villages till today in spite of several awareness drives initiated by the Government and other social service groups. The form of witchcraft that is most prevalent in India is the ‘Dakini Vidya’, which involves invoking the mother Goddess to absorb spiritual strength. In this, it is akin to Wicca. Dakini Vidya is a structured cult according to Tantric texts.

Often, when a woman prefers to stay alone and resists interference from other people and society in general, an unnecessary web of curiosity starts to be woven around her. It is true that this does not happen so much in the cities where the pace of life is hectic and people are generally impersonal. It has been seen that sometimes, in the backward sections of society, women who have to live on their own do not retaliate the meaningless accusations of witchcraft simply because the sense of fear that the idea invokes keeps more dangerous advances at bay. It is like a shield around their privacy. Somehow, situations can take a nasty turn at times and women and sometimes entire families have been attacked and lynched in mob fury having to bear the blame for natural disasters, illness, death or theft.

Ipsita Roy Chakraverti is a prominent social activist in India is also an accomplished Wiccan who studied the religion in Canada. One of her two books, ‘The Sacred Evil’ has been adapted as a movie. In an effort to institutionalise Wicca, she is co-ordinating with the Indian police to document instances of prosecution and bring the criminal cases to trial. Her ‘Wiccan Brigade’ is growing daily with more and more people getting interested in the teachings of the Wiccan philosophy. It is her opinion that the words ‘witch’ and ‘witchcraft’ have shed some of their derogatory connotation in recent times with new-age education opening up wider avenues. Ipsita believes that witchcraft is about the empowerment of the person and finding personal freedom in the search for totality. It is going to be a matter of time but hopefully her efforts will be able to bring some meaningful change in the future.

Blood in the Cauldron

red blood cells 150x150 Blood in the CauldronPagans have a long history of violence not only the fact that human and animal sacrifice where used but even today in the more enlightened times human sacrifice is heard of. The last being this year (2010) in April where a human Head and torso was found in A temple of Kali near Chotomakdampur village in the western district of Birbhuma in West Bengal India

Although many Western pagans and neo pagan groups would not consider a human sacrifice as part of their rituals as they see it as being against the Goddess wishes some tribal polytheistic religions still use animal sacrifice as part of their practice.

Now we all know that during our history (at least 50,000 years of history) across the world that human sacrifices where commonplace as way of appeasing the Gods. Even many of today’s rituals and festivals are link to sacrifices which would of in times past required animals to be slaughter as a minimal offering and this would escalate to humans if crops failed repeatedly or other hardships where faced.

During this time in our history no one was excused from being sacrificed kings and leaders would be scarified to. Even Christianity has a dark past when it comes to blood scarifies the Old Testament is littered with account animal and human sacrifice.

This link with human and animal sacrifice is often glossed over and is not spoke about much today and where possible is dismissed as history of primitive cultures and has no relevance today days pagan which then brings up the debate on blood in rites and rituals.

As we all know that blood and fluids from the body can be used for very powerful magicks and at the same time we have a moral obligation if not a ethical belief that the use of such materials is against the wishes of the divine as all life is sacred to the Goddess and God although there are some goddess and gods who appreciate blood and sacrifice Kali for one (and she is not the only one by far).

This idea of using blood in ritual has always caused much debate among pagans some are completely against the idea where other say a single drop from a pinprick is as much as you need.

Personally the idea of blood in rituals or spells is something that has always baffled me I have spells that require a personal connection to be made for example a healing or cursing poppet will work much better if it contains something that belongs to the person being heal (note this can be a piece of cloth from clothing right up to part of the person themselves ie hair, nail, clippings, spit or blood (blood being the most powerful connection)) which is given freely (for cursing (dark magicks) can be taken or stolen). Or the most common blood ritual that I have taken part in, the ritual of brotherhood commonly known as blood brothers or Blood oath where two people blood is mixed making them the same family. There are even less common blood rituals that I have been involved in which many would not even consider to be a blood rite Tattooing is a blood rite I have a number of tattoos which include pentagrams, god and goddess symbols and the caduceus as these are draw on to the body blood flows and the connection is made in the same way the blood brother rite works the blood and the ink mixing becoming one.

Now I now many Wiccan’s who believe that blood use in spells and rituals is wrong and at the same time have numerous pagan style tattoos and would not even consider them to be apart of a blood rite (but there are some people that you can even argue with as they think they know best).

And I have already said that blood rites baffle me I feel that any rite where the goal is to spill blood is totally wrong but at the same time there are blood rites like blood brothers and tattoos which I have been involved in, so it seem that I am some what hypocritical of blood in rites, but the use of blood is a very tricky subject as it is not black and white. A blood oath (blood brothers etc) is a promise that is bound by ones own essence yes other bodily fluids can be used but have less of an impact, it is common or was common practice to spit on you hand before shaking hand to seal a deal.

If I was to put a limit on how much blood should be used in a ritual or spell I would have to say a single drop from a pin prick was more than sufficient as it is a symbolic gesture of your life energy that is being offered and the important word in all of that is YOUR. You should never offer someone else blood as sacrifice or be part of any ritual where blood of another is spilt in the name of the divine or even offer Your blood to the divine as an offering as this is wrong and against the divine.

A blood rite is for binding YOUR energy to another person (blood brothers) or object (personal talisman or amulet tattoo) and no more and where possible other bodily fluids should replace blood. I can see no reason why blood should be used in any rite apart from Blood Oaths (no more than a single drop is needed) and Tattooing; personal talismans can be consecrated using other bodily fluids.

Other Bodily fluids that can be used: -

Tears – to be used in talisman and amulets to prevent hurt, lose or pain

Sweat – to be used in talismans for hard work and success

Saliva – general replacement for blood and used in protection amulets

Urine – used in bottle spells and charms such as the witches bottle for protection

Semen / vaginal fluid any love charm or spell also for fertility

Menstruation blood only woman  (not for use in blood oaths as it is seen as impure) used the same way as urine

Warning

Blood buying prescription drugs online must never be consumed EVER and you should be wary of blood born diseases, which can be transmitted through contact or can become air born. Never offer blood as sacrifice even your own it to precious.

Final thoughts-

I can only think of two rites where blood is important and both these rites are life time commitments only when you are sure that you are prepared to commit to a life long connection to a person or tattoo should you agree to be involved in a blood rite as the bond you make will remain for your whole physical life and in the case of a blood oath will last for all future life too

As an Individual you will need to make up your own mind about blood in rites and rituals do not be coerced into doing something you do not feel is right morally or ethically

If you know that another will be harmed or is in danger you have an obligation to contact the local police department and inform them even if you are oath bound to say nothing.

Wicca Symbols and What They Can Mean to You

Pentagram2 Wicca Symbols and What They Can Mean to YouWicca symbols have been with us for centuries but are still as relevant to modern day Pagans and Wiccans as they ever were. Although there is some variation in the symbols from group to group, they are more often consistent in the conditions that they represent than not. This is an article on some of the most popular and potent symbols, which I have chosen because to me, they most strongly embody Wicca and what it stands for.

One of the most instantly recognisable of Wicca symbols is that of the pentacle – also known as the Witch’s Foot. It is a 5 point star in a circle and each point represents (going clockwise and starting at the top):

The Spirit

Earth

Air

Fire

Water

The circle around them unifies and binds them all. This Wicca symbol is extremely important and powerful as it represents you and your place within the world and its elements – you are the spirit. Each has equal placing, and to take out one element would be to change the very nature of the union.

This is the symbol that Wiccans wear to identify themselves and others with, making it the most identifiable mark of the Wiccan religion. It is worn with pride, and to mark the wearer’s dedication to, and respect for nature.

However, wearing this Wicca symbol is not without potential issues. There has long been a great misunderstanding that Wicca is somehow connected with dark forces, even Satanism. Fortunately, this could not be further from the truth. In fact, the wearer is stating that they are on a Magickal path, but one which will take them away from evil, not towards it. It signifies their desire to worship and honour natures in all its forms, and with respect for its great power. It is a personal pledge to give to nature and not to take from it unnecessarily.

Very similar to the pentacle, is the Wicca symbol of the pentagram – the 5 pointed star of the pentacle but which stands alone. This dynamic symbol represents the perfection found in nature and may be more familiar to you than you think – think of Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man! Pythagoreans also viewed it as a mathematical perfection. As much misunderstood as the pentacle, it has also been considered connected with dark forces, particularly when inverted.

But there are signs that things are changing and Wicca is starting to shake off these old style views. In April of 2007 in America, it was ruled that the pentacle would be recognised and issued in military cemeteries and for tombstones, where previously this had been denied.

So, what do the individual Wicca symbols that make up the pentagram represent in themselves?

Earth is sometimes formed as a Wicca symbol by using the quartered circle, the perfect cross within the sphere or alternatively as an inverted triangle with a horizontal line half way up. The symbol of earth is a feminine energy – earth and Mother Nature are often one and the same. It is the very foundation of our existence.

The Wicca symbol of air is almost the same as the triangle symbol for earth but the triangle is upright. This element is all around us, essential for life itself but also invisible so an element that we can easily take for granted. This symbol urges us to honour and respect it. On Wiccan altars, incense is often used on the east to represent air.

Water and fire also use the triangle but without the lines through them. Fire is upright and water is inverted.

The force and destructive power of fire cannot be mistaken. It is wondrous to behold when contained, but there is an ever present sense that it could take control from your hands at any time. This Wicca symbol acts as both a reminder and a warning to take seriously the great force that nature can be.

Water is the giver of life as well as deep and mysterious. Many people find that they have a great affinity with water and the sea, more so than the other elements as it seems to personify so many human emotions and characteristics. It is hard not to stand and watch the ocean without feeling at one with it.

These core Wicca symbols are only a few of the hundreds that you can study to further your understanding of both Wiccan and the planet that we inhabit, instilling a respect that will make you feel more complete.

The Charge Of The Goddess

MotherGoddessEarth 150x150 The Charge Of The GoddessWhenever ye have need of anything,

once in the month and better it be when the moon is full,

then shall ye assemble in some secret place,

and adore the spirit of me,

who am Queen of all witches.

There shall ye assemble,

ye who are fain to learn all sorcery,

yet have not won its deepest secrets;

to these will I teach all things that are as yet unknown.

And ye shall be free from slavery;

and as a sign that ye be truly free,

you shall be naked in your rites;

and ye shall dance, sing, feast, make music and love,

all in my praise.

For mine is the ecstasy of the spirit,

and mine also is joy on earth;

for my law is love unto all beings.

Keep pure your highest ideals;

strive ever towards them,

let nothing stop you or turn you aside.

For mine is the secret door which

opens upon the Land of Youth,

and mine is the cup of the wine of life,

and the Cauldron of Cerridwen,

which is the Holy Vessel of Immortality.

I am the gracious Goddess,

who gives the gift of joy unto the heart of man.

Upon earth,

I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal;

and beyond death,

I give peace, and freedom,

and reunion with those who have gone before.

Nor do I demand sacrifice;

for behold, I am the Mother of all living,

and my love is poured out upon the Earth.

I am the beauty of the green earth,

and the white moon among the stars,

and the mystery of the waters,

and the desire of the heart of man.

Call unto thy soul, arise, and come unto me.

For I am the soul of Nature,

who gives life to the Universe.

From me all things proceed,

and unto me all things must return;

and before my face, beloved of gods and of men,

let thine innermost divine self be enfolded,

in the rapture of the infinite.

Let my worship be within the heart that rejoicest,

for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals.

Therefore, let there be beauty and strength,

power and compassion, honor and humility,

mirth and reverence within you.

And thou who thinketh to seek for me,

know thy seeking and yearning shall avail thee not,

unless thou knoweth the mystery;

that if that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee,

thou wilt never find it without thee.

For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning;

and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.

Everyone wants success. That is already a given. But the trick is finding it, or, for it to find you. If you want to succeed in life but you don’t know where to start AND you just happen to be just a little bit spiritual, may I suggest that you try several Wicca spells to help get you started. Wicca spells have allowed many a great people find success in life. Good karmic spells allow good positive energies to surround the caster as he/she invokes the power of the spell. If you are new to this, you don’t have to worry. These spells are very simple but it can drastically change the way you think and do things.

A lot of Wicca spells offer the caster certain attributes and qualities up until the spells last. Some of the spells that I’ve read up on are spells that grant the Wiccan caster the power of prophetic visions. Some enable the caster to see inanimate objects or spirits as what some would say. There are other more fantastic spells that are out there like the ability of flight and of an out of the body experience. Today though, we will start with some very simple Wicca spells to help you achieve greater things in life.

Before you continue, I need to remind you that for Wicca spells to work, you must clear your mind of any negative thoughts. Thoughts of violence, revenge, vandalism or theft will just not work. Focus only on what is good. Wicca is a branch of witchcraft that was not meant to inflict harm on anyone or anything. In fact, majority of Wiccan practitioners follow the Wiccan Rede – it is a structured guideline on what can and cannot be done with Wicca spells. The Wiccan Rede has but one very fundamental law: do what you want, just don’t harm others.

Spell of Wisdom

For this spell, you will need a table, a chair, and an object of focus. I would recommend an old book. Leather bound if possible. First, place the book on the table in front of you. Have a seat, and cross your feet. If you are a leftie, the left foot should be in front, and if you are right-handed, the right-foot should be in front. Now concentrate your mind on the book and most importantly, keep your eyes on it. As you begin to concentrate, chant the following verses:

“Concentrate myself on the things above and learning all the things I love.

Wisdom be my guide. Knowledge be my guide. Your Spirit be my guide.”

Of course, the effects of the spell will not be realized until you apply it to something. Try studying after casting the spell. You will find that learning will come so much easier.

Spell Of Health

It is best to invoke the Wicca spell of health during the morning just before breakfast. For this spell you will need to brew a potion. Don’t worry, there are no cauldrons involved here – not yet anyway.

Here are the ingredients of the health potion:

1 cup lemon juice

2 cups drinking water

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 gram crushed moringa leaves

1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil

a small sprinkle of mint

To prepare the potion, just mix all of the ingredients together in a standard mixing pot and once prepared pour the mixture in a cup or a glass. Before drinking the potion, recite the spell:

“This day I live on given time, to You I give oh most divine

For health and strength to live this day; may Your spirit be mine”

After casting the spell, drink the brewed potion, and that’s it! The spell should allow you to feel a lot healthier the rest of the day. Also, as a side note, Wicca spells like these are rare because it can be done on a daily basis. It will be really beneficial and healthy to the spell caster.
