A spell is a magickal formula, which can be written or spoken which is intended to cause or influence a particular state or event. The belief in magicks and spell is worldwide and since ancient times has been part of religious practice. The basic premise of a spell is to raise energy and releasing that energy to cause an effect, Many spells are based on ritual.

Spells are very closely related to prayers in the sense that the caster of the spell would call on the aid of a deity for success In magicks the spell can be successful with out a deity’s a persons own will is strong enough to cause the effect but only the arrogant would not call for guidance from a spirit, deity or any other divine source.

Spells do not need formal ritual or circles to be successful. Using mental powers including mediation and visualisation and positive thought for spells is commonplace, as well as daily ritual spells such as lighting a candle, self-affirmations.

The purpose of a spell is down to the person casting it this can be for good or bad and can be for any purpose but be careful for what you wish for you might just get it. A good spell is used for positive purposes is called a blessing, a bewitchment (which can also be used for negative magicks) and an enchantment, although enchantment is a spell form of it own it is a spell chanted or sung to empower an object or person (this also can have negative connotations). A negative spell is called a curse or Hex.

Nearly every magickal empowered person will cast spells and throw curses as the need dictates although in neo-paganism and Wicca and modern witchcraft a set of ethics is available which forbid negative spells of any kind. Which causes controversy because of “Binding spells” a spell that fall between the cracks of positive and negative magicks

The binding spell is used to prevent a person doing something The ethics of the Wiccan rede and three fold law basic state to interfere with a life is wrong by preventing someone from doing what they are or where going to do is causing them harm so effectively it would be wrong to bind a murder from murdering because your causing harm to the murder. My view I would say what ever spell your planning meditate long and hard on the outcome and see it results and if your happy then start casting and if you get a backlash welcome it and learn from it.

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.

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.

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.

As a solitary eclectic witch part of my practice is to develop new and exciting ways of developing my understanding of the goddess and learn new magickal skills. My whole practice is really a matter of trail and error and experimentation this is one of the major reasons I define myself as a witch or a pagan and if pressed to give a path I would define my path as a shamanic eclectic hedge witch as that seems to cover it.

But I was sitting yesterday (Sunday) in a day that was filled with emotional ups and downs one of those days when you don’t know whether to laugh or cry so you end up doing both. I always find that these days are a way of clearing crap emotionally, which always leads to an opening.

As in life we all have problems and I do to, well I am only human. And sometime those issues take a toll physically, mentally and spiritually but sometime throughout the turmoil great inspiration can take place. Since my patron goddess is Hecate and we all know that she loves to drive men mad moments of madness are her divine works and inspiration flows.

So during a moment or two of madness I came upon an idea for casting a circle which feel very natural and almost perfect which I feel need to be shared.

I was sitting for some reason with an abundance of energy (probably the music and the events of the day) I felt fully charged I could feel the energy so much that I knew that I had to disperse it in some way. So I placed my dominant palm flat above the ground (at the time I was sitting in a chair) and focused the energy into a white light and directed it on to the ground.

There was a stream of white light flowing from my palm on to the ground I am not sure if it was the music or my playful side but I started to use the energy flowing from my hand like a child would use a sparkler making patterns I became trans fixed on the light and the patterns and started to draw spirals which turned into spiral circles which was about a foot in diameter.

Now I am sure that it was my childish side but I began to imagine a Spiro graph picture of a spiral circle which I was forming with a circular motion of my hand as the circle formed I was still pouring energy into it began glow and spin and grow in time with the motion of my hand.

Again with childish thought I felt that I wanted to put my foot inside the circle and as I did still focusing on the circle and the energy. As my foot took centre place in the circle the circle began to rotate around my ankle like a hula-hoop growing in size I was giving less energy to the circle my desire to make it grow and treat it like a hula hoop was making it grow.

My desire became to stand in side my energy had a thread like attachment to the circle as the circle grew large enough for me to stand inside I got another childish feeling I was a cowboy with a lasso spinning a circle around me my hand held high creating a cone of energy.

The moment I noticed the cone my left hand palm down reach out and my right hand came down and I stood in the position of the rune tiw /tyr with a circle of energy circling me the energy began to flow like a circuit from my right hand around the circle and back up my left hand uneven at first but once the balance was felt I raised my hands above my head palm together drawing the energy up like eyelids sealing a dome above me then I moved my hand to my sides visualising the energy sealing below as it did Cheap Alli Online above me I now stood I a perfect sphere as I look upon the ball of energy surrounding me I thought of the word solid and as I did the circle be came a glass like ball.

This environment became a perfect magickal space the world outside became a dimension which although could be seen had no mass and on became an impression      

This environment became a perfect magickal space the world outside became a dimension which although could be seen had no mass and only was  an impression in my vision it was like see a transparent image       

If I had more practice on developing this circle I may have been able to give more than my person experience but the most important part of this circle was a feeling of being a child and that not something that can be taught 

It amazing when ideas of magickal practices come to mind
