Magickal charms and talismans appear in our life as gifts or things we purchase, even non-pagans have their magickal charms even if they do not imbued with magickal properties.

Some of the more common charms are lucky rabbits foot, crucifix, [wikipedia]St Christopher[/wikipedia], pentagram, birthstones, Buddha’s, religious pictures and coins. There are many things that we imbued with magickal properties as I look around my home I notice how many charms I have, [wikipedia]hag stones[/wikipedia], [wikipedia]Rowan berries[/wikipedia], abracadabra triangles and talismans that I have made and a myriad of crystals and [wikipedia]witch bottle’[/wikipedia]s hidden in the garden.

Magickal Charms and talismans can be used for every purpose, although if you create a charm or talisman for a desired purpose you must give it a death date so it does not start drawing energy from you.

The most common talismans are for protection, love and luck. Protection charms can be used to protect people, places and objects. Love Charms are used to draw new love or as symbols to increase love between partners and luck charms are used to increase or change a persons luck.

Charms and Talismans can be used for both negative and positive out comes, sometimes a negative acting talisman can be more effective than a positive one. An example of this is a person instead of creating a charm or talisman to draw love they may be better off creating a talisman that repels bad relationships. But when creating your talisman put as much effort in to creating the sigils and pictography as you can part filling it with energy before you perform the birthing and naming of your talisman.

Some talismans can be objects imbued with energy and purpose while others needs to be created. When creating a charm or talisman think about how you’re going decorate it will you magickal text or symbology. Will you create a Sigel (a great book for Sigel creating is Helrunar: A Manual of Rune Magick by Jan Fries) what material best suits your talisman, paper, wood, clay or metal. You can purchase talismans and charms but you will need to cleanse and charge them for your purpose.

For talismans that have a long life it is a good idea to recharge them, focusing solar and lunar energy works very well.

All ye assembled at mine shrine, Mother Darksome and Divine.

Mine the Scourge and mine the Kiss, Here I charge you in this sign.

All you assembled in my sight, Bow before my spirit bright.

Aphrodite, Arianhod, Lover of the Horned God.

Mighty Queen of Witchery and night,

Morgan, Erione, Nisene, Diana, Bridgid, Melusine,

Am I named of old by men, Artemis and Cerridwen,

Hell’s dark mistress, Heaven’s Queen.

Ye who ask of me a rune, Or would ask of me a boon,

Meet me in some secret glade, Dancing round in greenwood shade.

By the light of the Full Moon.

In a place wild and lone, Dance about mine altar stone,

Work my holy mystery, Ye who are feign to sorcery.

I bring ye secrets yet unknown.

No more shall ye know slavery, who give true worship unto me.

Ye who tread my round on Sabbat night,

come ye naked to my rite, in token that ye be really free.

I teach ye the mystery of rebirth, work ye my mysteries in mirth.

Heart joined to heart and lip to lip,

five are the points of fellowship,

that bring ye ecstasy on earth,

for I am the circle of rebirth.

I ask no sacrifice, but do vow,

no other Law but love I know,

By naught but love may I be known.

All things living are mine own,

from me they come, to me they go.

I invoke Thee and call upon Thee Mighty Mothers of us all.

Bringer of Fruitfulness by seed and by root.

I invoke Thee by stem and bud.

I invoke Thee by life and love

and call upon Thee to descend into the body

of this Thy Priestess and Servant.

Hear with her ears, speak with her tongue,

touch with her hands, kiss with her lips,

that thy servants may be fulfilled.

The first thing any spell or magick needs is a purpose or directs a desired out come. With that in mind then comes the ritual this may be done in or out side a sacred space depending on type of spell being cast. Spells may be in the form of a dance or acting out the desire outcome as in sympathetic magicks, or construction of potions or talismans or even by spoken rhythmic words in the form of Enchantments. The power of the word is very important magicks it is known that ancient god names when pronounced correctly imbue great power into a spell.

The aim next is to raise enough energy to caused the desired effect this raising of energy will take many forms such as dancing singing, chanting and mental skills and tools and ingredient. Once the energy has been built to it maximum it is the release or directed to it goal.

In Neo pagan and Wiccan groups spell casting is preformed in a magick circle at most coven meetings and although techniques vary the spell is normally written so everyone know what they are doing so that everyone energy is focused on the goal. The act of writing a spell help make it real by giving substance.

During these spell casting the quarters would be call the deities invited participants will follow the script of the ritual which would be learned before hand. Singing, dancing, drums will all add to the ritual energy raising and once built the energy would be released and the quarters and deities would be thanked and released.

As you learn tarot by whatever means book, from a teacher or off the Internet you will find that you can either work with Tarot or not if you can then stop find another tool for divination that you are better suited to such as runes or crystal balls never force it. If you can work with tarot you are going to want to connect with them one a spiritual as well as personal level. Never read for yourself you will only ever see what you want to see and never use them as a magic eight ball to help you decide what to do. But do use them to help you become a better person and connect fully with the cards there are some excellent techniques to this in the Hallow quest the book that goes with Arthurian Tarot

It is important when connecting with tarot that you show respect and treat your cards well, Insure that when you pick your tarot pack that you choose a pack with imagery and symbology that you can connect to personally. If you’re a bit of a traditionalist then the Waite-Smith or Rider Waite Tarot, If you enjoy and have a big interest in the Arthurian legends then Arthurian Tarot By John & Caitlin Matthews or if you’re a gay man then the Gay Tarot, it does not matter what pack and there are hundreds to choose from just as long as it feels right to you.

Always keep your cards safe and protected, show them respect keep them in a tarot bag or tarot box or both. Keep them away from things that can charge them or drain them of their energy.

One of the easiest times to connect with tarot cards is when you first get a pack this first technique is used on a new tarot deck but can be also used to re energise a tarot deck.

When you first open the pack don’t shuffle or look at the cards place your dominant hand below the cards (normally your right hand) and your passive hand on top of the pack find your own internal energy (see playing with understanding and playing with energies) and place it in the centre of your chest around the position of you heart chakra. Allow it to grow and move down your right arm and push it through the cards and back up your left arm until it completes a circle of energy. Keep the energy moving in circular motion seeing your own energies clearing the cards of all negativities and filling the cards with your own energy.

As the cards become infused with your energy your own energy will be able to pass through the tarot deck with much more ease. You will know when the cards are completely clean of all negatives and are attuned to yourself, as the energy flowing through your arms and chest will stabilise into a continuous loop that has a steady pulse. Once you’re at this stage say an incantation or state that you want the cards to guide and show you all you need to know.

Then put the cards to one side and wash hand under running cold water to wash way any remaining negativity the follow instructs on pack or from book.

This next technique for connecting with the cards is an adaptation from the Hallow quest. Centre yourself then pick a tarot card from the tarot deck spend sometime looking at the design of the card the details do this until you can close your eyes and visualise the card as a real place with real people and real animal visualise your self walking around inside the cards talk to the people in the card find out what they are doing their, look behind trees and building look pass the image of the card find out what lie beyond or what is hidden when your ready to leave see the visualisation returning to a flat image then open your eyes and write you feelings and any information you gained. You will need to be very creative with this visualisation and allow yourself to just imagine.

The third way to connect with the tarot cards is a fun way by using the cards to tell a story and is not a new technique pick some cards at random from the pack I would say no more than 10 place the tarot cards in a pile next to you and start to write a story start with a lead person a knight a princess etc and turn a card over and incorporate that card into the story here is an example “Rodger the knight was walking when (turn card = the Hermit) he met a hermit that lived in the woods…” Just fill the stories with as much detail and feeling as you can imagine, and let yourself be inspired by the cards. Although many of your stories will not make it to the best seller list you should when you read them back you should be able to see a relation with your own life giving an insight to yourself.

Way to insure your cards remain connected do’s and don’ts

Do’s

• Keep you cards in a safe place
• Use a Tarot Box or Bag
• Respect them as a tool of your work
• Find a pack that suits you

Don’ts

• Let anyone else use your cards
• Use them as game cards
• Don’t leave them lying around
• Read for yourself.
• Don’t let the cards make your choices for you.
• Don’t read for anyone under influence of drink or drugs

The energy vampire is someone who draws psychic or spiritual energy from another life force with out replacing it with like energy. Over the years I have found that there seem to be 3 may be 4 types of energy vampire.

The first and most common type of energy vampire in what I like to call the immature energy vampire, the second is the controller energy vampire and the third is a feeder and if there is a forth kind it seems to be a hybrid of these three.

The immature energy vampire is completely oblivious that they are feeding off of your energy in this category you will find children, those suffering illness (physical and mental), the Star (a person how is a diva who needs people to praise him or her) and the party animal (always on the go the one that is still raving a 4am while everyone else is lagging).

The immature energy vampires are not bad (in the sense of good and bad) although they are demanding they need you to offer your energy before they can start to draw off your energy. The problem is the immature likes energy and is really not bothered if the energy is negative or positive just as long has they have your attention. The good thing is that these vampires will often share your energy and return some back.

Since the goal of this vampire is to charge himself or herself up, they often have an abundance of excess energy, which they use to increase energy flow. This form of energy vampire unlike the other form can leave you feeling drained or over charged.

The controller vampire is much more skilled at drawing of specific forms of energy and have skills to force you to create this form of energy for them. This is normally negative feeling the type of people that fall into this group are bullies, bosses, abusers and the abused. This vampire can spend years slowly feeding away at all the good energy and replacing with nothing to all that is left is a hollow husk of a person behind before moving on to the next target. These vampires are usually created in the same way a folklore vampire is created one a person has been feed upon they will need to feed themselves it become a spiral drawing others in along the way.

These vampires live off negative energy the good thing is that where controller energy vampires are, you will find energy charger people (not the same as positive energy feeder) skilled at the defence against such vampire and are immune to their power and give positive energy back.

The third type of energy vampire is the feeder vampire these create situations where is energy is created for them top feed off. They dont feed off a person energy as such just from the energy created from the environment the formed. There seems to be two defined forms of the feed the negative energy feeder and the positive energy feeder.

The negative feeder is the stirrer, the backstabber, the grass, and the bitch! They like to cause people to argue and fight they never seem happy unless there is conflict as the feed of the energy that is created that feeling you get when you walk in a room here strong emotions have taken place.

The positive energy feeder is really a mature type of immature energy vampire these are the stars and divas that found that they could make people happy which in turns make them happy. These are normally people with good friends and are always ready to help although these people need happy people to keep them happy. They feed off of good emotions and are always trying to make people feel better.

The fourth kind is really not a variety of energy vampire but a hybrid there are some people who do not handle energy consumption well and react to a “bite” from an energy vampire and temporally assume the traits of the vampire that “bit them” very much a human natured experience. We all fall into this variety at some point as well all need to top up our energy. For example a woman or man at home looking after children, who are demanding his or her attention all day long will need to have the energy they have lost over the day replaced. This will require a food source! The partner if a loving and understanding one, they will see the lost energy and will freely replace that lost energy. If as in most cases the need is missed so situations will be created where woman or man that needed the attention will get it through manipulating the environment which will lead to a argument where attention is focused on the one that needs it normally by this stage it negative energy “immature energy vampire” if this situation become repetitive the person seeking the attention will create the same environment each day to cause the desired out come “controller vampire” if this situation is continue even longer the person seeking attention will learn to accept that the only way they will ever get the attention the need is to repeat the format with other people slowly turning in to a “negative feeder”.

Energy vampires are not mythical creatures sent to suck your life force away they are humans they are each and everyone of us we all need energy and in most cases we give and share freely with those we love.

It only when we get a taste for a specific emotional energy matrix that we become a true energy vampire we are all capable of energy vampirism and often take a bite sometime without thinking of we are doing.

But it is the desire of a particular emotional energy matrix that is the problem that always lead to a negative out come. I am reminded of the Celestine Prophecies and the third and forth insight –

A Matter of Energy

We now experience that we live not in a material Universe, but in a Universe of dynamic energy. Everything extant is a field of sacred energy that we can sense and intuit. Moreover, we humans can project our energy by focusing our attention in the desired direction, in that where attention goes, energy flows, influencing other energy systems and increasing the pace of coincidences in our lives. It is possible to see this energy enveloping all living things.

The Struggle For Power

To gain energy, we tend to manipulate or force others to give us attention and thus energy. When we successfully dominate others in this way, we feel more powerful, but they are left weakened and often fight back. Competition for scarce human energy is the cause of all conflict between people

There is no real way of protecting yourself from an energy vampire but if you are aware of their needs and what they desire form you? You can learn to starve them of it, example if a bully want you to be scared of him or her they are feeding off of your fear the moment you stop being scared you are of no use to them and they will find another food source.

It can be difficult to seek out energy vampires in groups of friends, as there is likely to be more than one vampire form with a group often working together to create the desired environment to feed and insuring that the group remains the same. You may even notice that when new people attempt to join the inner circle how certain friends become hostile to them.

As I have said no protection really because we cant protect against ourselves the only really issue is to try and stay away from the vampires that really drain you and change so they no longer find you desirable to eat and try not to take with out giving back.

I did mention energy charger people earlier these are very special people they are higher spiritually than most humans but still only human some are religious some are not. They flow with energy giving freely they have a connection with the divine a higher spiritual self a pureness of heart that can be seen in their eyes a child like quality and although rare their goodness can out live their life including Jesus, Buddha and Princess Diana

Many rituals call for power to be raised without saying how. This isn’t a failure to notice on anyone’s part. Raising power is so personal that the idea of “telling” a person or a group of people how to do it seems ridiculous. Their seems to be 5 basic ways to raise energy / power these are by no means the only or the “right” ways to raise power. The Five are flexible, and can be used together in any number of combinations.!

1: Drumming: Drumming is fairly easy to understand. Most people use a “heart” beat, which they increase in speed and complexity as they raise the power. Your own heart rate can increase with the drum, it can be very powerful.

It takes training for many of us to become that rhythmic, and the idea that EVERYONE needs to be banging on something for drumming to work is insane. I’ve seen many circles use only one drummer to raise power. Increasing speed and complexity are a common part of power raising, as more power is raised, and the air begins to tingle with expectation, one would have to work harder to not speed up, and they’d diminish their usefulness, so relax and let it go. When the power has reached it peak, the drummers stop, often voicing a monosyllable which pushes the power. “Ra, Ma, Ha, Ho, and Ay” all have special meanings in different Traditions, but research or spontaneity are equally as acceptable.

2: Dancing similar to drumming, dancing is something not everyone can do. Power raising dances; however, tend to be very unsophisticated, like holding hands and twirling around the circle. It’s easy to raise power this way, if occasionally dizzying. Combined with drumming or chanting, dancing can be a simple way to get everyone involved and is a fairly quick method of power rising. As with drumming, the best way to let the power out that you raise from dancing is to stop suddenly, often by ending an accompanying beat, and shouting out a monosyllable, preferably while dropping to the floor.

3:Chanting there are Buy Viagra Online three schools of chanting in Wicca, one says that chants must be ancient words and phrases, almost inevitably in another language. These are often hard to say and even harder to remember. The second school allows translated chants, but they usually are overly complex small prayers, which are often hard to memorize. The final school, the method of chanting that I have found most powerful, is the simplest. You may’ve noticed I prefer the simplest, and before I describe fully this school of chanting, I’d like to explain why, in Ritual, I follow the Rule of KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid.)

Religion must always be a matter of intense Self. No one has the right to enforce or inflict his or her religion upon someone. In a group setting, complexity easily causes a rift to develop between people. By using things that only a few people can do, you limit the group to those who participate, and those who can’t. In every group I’ve been in there is at least one person whose abilities aren’t even close to everyone else’s. Wicca needs to avoid becoming elitist, and many covens already seem to have an idea of what members SHOULD be like. By keeping the recipe for ritual simple, any group may form a firm basis in practice before attempting more difficult manoeuvres. Keep it simple, stupid!

The preferred method of chanting is personal chanting, in which everyone in a group chants what is on their mind, The amount of power felt with this method is astounding.The increase in power at the end is done by increasing volume, with everyone ending with the same word or phrase, often the

“So” of “That it be so,” an easier to end variation on “So mote it Be.”

4:Music Weaving This is difficult method. Often, this accompanies drumming, and is prevalent in groups with many musicians and singers. A simple melody is played or sung, a second instrument comes in after the first, with a similar melody played above in counterpoint, a third in a lower harmony to the first, a fourth in harmony with the second, and so forth. The power raised and spells worked this way are intense, but require practice and a good many skills.

5:Tone Raising While not as complex as music weaving, tone rising is best done with at least one person with perfect pitch and a strong voice Similar to Galdor . Beginning usually at A or C, the group uses a single syllable to match the leaders tone or harmonize. The leader raises the tone or chord and allows the group to increase in pitch and volume, with those incapable of higher notes dropping down an octave (singing the same note lower) when the volume is maximized, everyone shouts out the syllable and “lets” the power go.

Mind altering substances and practices have always been a part of paganism from the earliest of times, ancient pagan mixed herbs and plants for ingestion or application or even as incense.

These herbs and plants where used by priest, priestess, and shamans too help encourage visions or change their mental state so that they could directly contact the divine source, Higher spirits or spirits on who they could call on the aid in their works.

Many of these herbs and plants where hallucinogenic or have psychotropic properties. These mind-altering substances are used today as recreational drugs or as pharmaceutical drugs to treat illness.

The big question regarding drugs and legal or illegal in neo pagan paths is a matter of ethics. Although as part of reclaiming our heritage we have to understand that these herbs have benefits and a uses.

According to Carlos Castaneda in his books he spent the beginning of his training under Yaqui shaman Don Juan Matus using drugs so that he could learn what is was like to connect the forces and forms of the divine, he claims that the drugs where used just to shift his perception just enough so he could see, after he new what he was looking for drugs where no longer used as he could then reach the state of mind where he could recall the feelings and senses that he experience. He claims that each hallucinogenic induced session was like gaining the pieces of a map to the available natural spirits and powers and once the map was completed the hallucinogens where no longer need to see the pathways.

The oracle of Delphi who was one of the most famous and accurate Oracles is claimed to of gained her insights from hallucinogenic vapours, which emanated from the 2 faults under the temple. There is academical evidence to support the fact that the Oracle was tripping comes from a reported in Geology magazine, which reveals that two faults intersect directly below the Delphic temple and the study also found evidence of hallucinogenic gases rising from a nearby spring and preserved within the temple rock.

It is also claimed that the much of the witchcraft hysteria during the burning times could have been a result of ergot a fungus produced on Rye and other cereals which produces Ergotism in humans and animals.

The symptoms of Ergotism symptoms include painful seizures and spasms, diarrhoea, paresthesias, itching, headaches, nausea and vomiting as well as hallucinations similar to LSD. All these symptoms at the time would have been seen as bewitchments. It is also believed that the reason why many of the accounts of flying of to Sabbats and having orgies with the devil and demons share similar traits is due to the fact that a similar concoction was used similar to a flying ointment, Flying Ointment a highly dangerous concoction of poisonous plants which was mixed with fats and applied to the body and broomstick would give the ware power of flight, In experiments where these potions have been used researchers and have been tested on live subject whom in questioning on their experiences have expressed the feeling of flight or flying or of travelling also they experienced vivid feeling of sexual arousal (this is likely to be due to the fact that this ointment would be applied to or come in contact with the genitals). It was found that subject reports showed similarities to some confessions gained during the witchcraft trials.

Even today many tribal cultures where magicks still has a place in the day to day the shaman / shawoman or holy man or woman will often ingest herbs which will cause a psychotropic effect which when mixed with ritual and drum beat will help the sha-person or holy person reach a state where they are able to communicate with the spirits.

The states that are created when natural drugs (legal and illegal) are used can be recreated to some extent without the help drugs, Things like fasting, cord magicks and dancing to exhaustion can raise the spiritual conciseness to a higher plane in the same sense as drugs.

Drugs play a major part of modern witchcraft and the reclaiming of the traditions and before everyone goes all Mr Mackey (Drugs ‘R’ bad) they bring about change whether as mind altering substances or a healing cures and medicines or poisons. A good witch will know how sometimes by instinct, which plants, or mix of plants should be used for healing purposes.

It is very important for any pagan, neo pagan, witch, Wiccan or any one dealing with plants for healing and other purposed to understand the law and let deal only with natural drugs or what I consider to be a natural drug.

So lets start with natural drugs: what is a natural drug? It is a plant which only requires chopping, blending with other plants,being dried, boiled or burnt / heated to release it benefits an un Natural drug is something that has been chemically reproduced or is designed some drugs can fall into both categories.

Examples

Each country has its laws on drugs and no matter your views on drugs you will have to abide by that countries laws if you live or visit that country.

Since I live in the UK I will look at the law and it interpretations so let start with a definition:-

1. Drug

a. A substance used in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of a disease or as a component of a medication.

b. Such a substance as recognized or defined by the U.S. Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

2. A chemical substance, such as a narcotic or hallucinogen, that affects the central nervous system, causing changes in behaviour and often addiction

In the UK we have 2 laws that cover drugs the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and The Medicines Act 1968 and without knowledge a witch can end up breaking the law and find themselves open to prosecution and a jail sentence. In the UK as far as the drug laws go there are huge loopholes, which can turn into a noose. Magic Mushrooms! There is not law preventing you picking them but dry them out and you could face 7 years in prison and a fine if you have too many your sentence could be life under the Misuse of Drugs act 1971 and with the same silliness you have a friend who is stress you say drink camomile tea nothing but say I would prescribe camomile tea in the morning and evening one cup when you wake and one before retiring you can face prosecution under the Medicines Act 1968.

When you deal with herbs plants etc for healing purposes you have an obligation not just to the people that visit you but also to your self to be aware of the law ignorance is not a get out.

I hope that this will encourage all you that read that plants have benefits as well as their flaws and the issues of drugs and magicks are not as simples as they seem.

The issue of drugs in the community has an impact on life and that is an issue that should hit every heart.

On a serious note if your casting a circle with a joint rather than a wand you have a problem! drug issues can effect everyone around you and the more you connect with a drug the less you connect with the magicks Carlos Castaneda explains this in his books.

Science has informed us that we are made from male and female energy and that we have DNA that is formed into pairs.

As human beings we are born into a mould that has equal male and female energy and as we grow the balance of energy shift to more masculine or more feminine. If you are male you do not lose the feminine energy you just may not use it to often and vice versa.

There are people whose external package does not fit their internal energy very butch women or very effeminate men. There are even people whose internal energy is in conflict with their appearance they choose to change the external appearance.

These masculine (M) and feminine (F) energies exist in all of nature and the universe as a witch we use these energies for empowering spells and charms and performing ritual and rite.

The M and F energies are not separate energies but unequal energies in-group work it becomes easier to balance M/F energies, as groups tend to be male female male female and so on so on. As a solitary practitioner it not so easy to balance the energies but over the years I have learned to accept my feminine side and masculine side as equals. .

In groups the priestess would normal become the goddess in the calling down the moon rite or drawing down the moon, While the priest would become the god in the calling down the sun rite. The individual in the rites assume the total masculine energy to become the god and total feminine energy to become the goddess.

In some groups will only ever have a woman call down the moon and a man call down the sun as a solitary practitioner I have preformed both rites myself and have had very extraordinary experiences as the goddess.

So how do you become aware of your internal energy balance, firstly visualise your self as the opposite sex then visualise your self having a conversation with you opposite side ask it all the question you ever wanted to know about the opposite sex. The more you understand about the opposite sex the more you will be able to relate and call on that energy. Do this regularly to gain more understanding it will not just help in magickal working but also in your daily life.

Also have fun with you new found understanding of masculine or feminine energies and women practice the calling down the sun and men practice calling down the moon.

Before casting a circle gather all your ingredient and tools and place them in your centre, I would normally set up my altar at this time. Double check that the phone is off the hook and that you have everything that you require.

Opening or breaking a circle is a bit of a bone of contention between many Wiccan’s and some other neo pagan paths. From my own personal view no circle should be cast with knowledge that you’re going to have to leave it. But if for some reason you have to leave then a door way can be cut open and closed. I feel that for group workings that a circle should never be broken and it is you have to start again, if it keeps happening your being told that you should not being doing what your planning to do. For solitary witches and Wiccan’s and other neo pagans this is slightly different a solitary witches home will become a temple that is filled with wards and protection items and for myself a solitary witch who has a dog who loves to join in energy rising Casting a circle that remains unbroken can nigh on be an impossibility unless I lock the dog away which I will not do.

The way around having a circle broken can be solved simply the first is cast the circle so it is large enough to encompass the whole house or flat so everything is contained within including the phone the second is how you view a circle, a circle is really not a circle but a sphere the circle you cast is around the diameter of the sphere once the quarters and deities have been call the circle and the space their in encompasses two worlds it does not full exist here on the mortal plain or fully in the spirit realm so if a pet or child crosses the boundary line it cant be break because it not in this realm, no matter what your views are on breaking a circle we will continue with how to cast a circle. And this is only one way there are many different ways depending on traditions.

No matter whether your using a wand, drugstore Athame or even your finger start by standing in the centre of the circle facing North east and raise your hand (right hand if right handed left hand if left handed) and point your Wand, Athame or finger and visualise the energy leaving the tip reaching out to the edge of you circle.

Then turn slowly to the east, tracing out the edge of the circle continue turning and tracing through south and west the back to north. This should be three times each time more energy is pour in to the circle. Once the circle is formed spend a few moments with Athame, wand or finger still point north-east create another circle by rising up and over head producing an arch from north-east to south-east then continuing around until your back at north east visualising the sphere formed.

A simple incantation or complete formal calling of the quarters can be done now I find that some rituals or spells require a simple incantation such as “to this circle I invite the goddess and god to watch, guide and protect this ritual I invite the forces of dark and light to help me do what is right and the elemental forces to lend their energies to this rite”

You will need to insure that your circle is big enough to complete you working including space to dance and move. Some neo pagans get very anal over circle size but having lived in a bed-sit you learn you learn that if you have four foot of free floor space no matter how skill you are at magicks you cant create a circle that is 9foot in diameter. Basic rule of thumb for circle casting make it big enough for your need if you make it to small stand in the centre of the circle take a deep breath in and as you exhale push the edge of the circle outwards to it reaches a desired size if to big for need use the same technique but on the intake of breath pull the circle towards the centre.

When you create your first circle you will notice a few things the energy inside a circle will make you feel tingly or a little buzzed, the circle temperature will be a little warmer that ambient room temperature you might find your self removing clothing or even working Skyclad. You may even get the feeling that you being observed this is very natural many spiritual beings will be drawn to the light of your circle they will not harm you as they can not pass through the circle many will watch for a short while before passing by.

Once you have complete your spell or ritual you will need to un-cast your circle the first thing you must thank the goddess and god for their presence a simple hale and farewell will do if quarters where called these need to be dismissed.

Then face north-east point your, Wand, Athame or finger using the opposite hand you used to cast the circle and visualise the energy if the circle flowing back into Wand, Athame or finger slowly move to the counter clockwise drawing all the energy back until you have complete untraced the circle edge.

I would normal raise my arms palms facing out so I am in a cross position and would say a simple incantation such as “ this circle is now open I once thank those that attended and to those that looked on go in peace this ritual in now complete hail and farewell”

Circle casting complete.

As a witch / Wiccan you should have a good understanding of energies, in rituals we raise energy then release it but this is personal energy that we create throughout the ritual but there are many other types of energy.

In my early days I was introduced to Tree energies, which is a very simple way of connecting with energies. Connecting with tree energy is a very simple technique and you do not need to have special gifts to gain success and once learned can be applied to other substances such as crystals, elements, deities and people. It is about noticing the slightest differences in vibrations. Every substance has an energy included man-made substances although man-made substances have a dead feel to them.

To connect with tree energy find your self a big sturdy tree with a large trunk, approach the tree with honour take a moment to prepare yourself ask the tree to share it energy with you, you will sense if the tree is willing to share energy with you, if it is not find another tree, Once you have a tree that will share energy with you stand with your back pushed against the tree.

You will soon start to feel the tree energy, which is an energy that goes straight up through the trunk the out through leafs then back down to the ground then into the roots and back up through the truck just like the pattern a magnetic field.

As you stand against the tree your energy will become interchangeable with the tree energy you first will feel the energy in your spine and back you may also feel your charkas opening. The energy will continue to be interchanged until your energy becomes part of the trees.

Once you feel totally at one with the tree, meditate on how you feel, note the differences in your own energy. When your ready to stop openly say I thank you for your energy and move your back away from the trunk once the physical bond between you and the tree is broken turn and give the tree a hug and thank it for it energy and leave remembering to write up what and how you felt.

Since trees are very big their energy field is easier to detect small objects are difficult at first but with practice you can detect and share the energy of a grain of rice.

Once you know how a particular energy feels you can recreate that feeling in rituals and spells. Knowing as much about energies as you can and will help you in healing and with daily life but you will need to learn on how to project this energy out or direct it. One of the fun ways I like to play with energy came out of a spell for creating a circle in your hand and I call it an energy bomb. Energy bombs are great for changing the mood of a room. We have all walked into a room after an argument and the residual energy hangs in the air this is the perfect place to drop the energy bomb.

The Energy Bomb requires some visualisation start by visualising a palm sized crystal ball in your hand now you need to think of a particular energy I normally use love energy. Love energy is a light free flowing energy, which has a very happy vibration. You will need to visualize the crystal ball being filled up with the energy like your pouring a pinkish liquid in to the ball the crystal ball will take all the energy you can pour into it once the ball is filled it should start to glow with a pink light once the light begins to vibrate at the correct energy level your start to feel it pulse this should be rhythmic that will increase in speed (almost like a timer counting down) once you get the vibration pulsing so fast that it becomes uncomfortable to hold drop it or roll across the room once the ball hits something solid it will explode pushing other energies away. Energy Bombs are great when out with friends dropping a few positive energy bombs can really make a night go perfect or just for fun throw an energy bomb filled with luck at a friend playing pool and see how they get on.

The more you play with energy the more skilled you get at using and directing it. No one can tell what a particular energy should look or feel like but if you need a visual example of energy, look to science for the answers.

Once you know what an energy feels like you should be able to change the energy of one substance in to the energy of something else this is what true magick is the ability to transform the energy of one thing into another creating a reaction.

For example may people would say if someone is sending negative energy you should return it but by doing so you invoke the rule of three and negate the Wiccan rede it is much better to absorb and change the negative energies in to a positive goal.
