Magic - Wicca- A Guide to Magick

1/23

Often times people ask me if I have spells. Yes, I have spells. Some have

worked, some haven't. What a witch must keep in mind is that what

works for me, may not work for another witch. Magick is within

everything. How it is perceived is different from witch to witch. Some

think patchouli oil is the best oil for a prosperity spell. I prefer clove oil

and have had success in using it. One of the wonders of magick is that

there is normally a wide variety of correspondences to choose from for

any one desired result. There must be about a hundred different herbs

listed for love and at least thirty for wealth and money (a few of which I

have listed). I prefer to perform candle magick. Candle spells are

simple, they are not time consuming (very important to a witch with

little time) and they work. When I do a candle spell, I carefully choose

an appropriate color for the candle, a stone, an oil, and three herbs, onefor the physical realm, one for the mental realm and one for the

spiritual realm, plus one more as a type of catalyst (normally these

catalysts are either Dragon's blood, Mandrake or Mistletoe). How do I

pick my correspondences? First, I must know what I'm doing the spell

for. Is it a prosperity spell, a healing spell, a spell to find a new job or

maybe to improve communication with a loved one? Once I determine

what I'm trying to accomplish, I hit the books. Within my library, I

have several books that index what various colors, herbs, oils and stones

correspond with various desired results. I try to be as specific as I canand try to blend my choice of correspondences to better "describe" my

desired result. If I'm going to perform a prosperity spell, what

attributes are going to be needed to reach the final goal? Creativity,

physical strength, courage? I try to chose some herb or the oil to

correspond with those added aspects and keep in mind that most herbs

and oils have several attributes. Its is very possible to have an herb with

the attributes of both wealth and, say, strength. With one herb you can

accomplish two ends. I leave the color of the candle to the core of the

spell. For a prosperity spell, green, a banishing spell, black. The same

applies to the stone I use. I leave it to the core of the spell. Having said

all that, now I must also add, use what you have! One of the first spells I

did I literally raided my spice cabinet for the herbs I needed. Okay, so

maybe fennel would not have been my first choice, but it worked! I am

fortunate to have an orange tree in my back yard. Yes, I use the leaves,

blossoms, fruit, and bark in place of other possibly more popular herbs.


2/23

Use what you have! Once I've gathered my correspondences, I then

charge them with the purpose of the spell. How is this done? There are a

few techniques that must be utilized for this part of spellworking.

Ability to Meditate This is the art of clearing the mind of all mundane

thoughts and feelings. It is a state of relaxation and peace, the goal toreach a state of non-thought. This is not easy and I still haven't

mastered the technique yet, but do the best you can. There are several

very good books on the subject and even in many of the books on Wicca

and witchcraft there are simple techniques to help in mastering

meditation. This is essential to spellwork. Your mind must be at peace

so that you can focus on what you're trying to accomplish. Ability to

Visualize This is the ability to see with your mind, not with your senses.

Although it is called visualization, remember, use all your senses! Close

your eyes. Within your mind's eye, see a tree, whatever kind of tree you

want or are familiar with. Let your mindsee its limbs, its leaves orneedles (depending on the type of tree), the trunk, etc. Let your mind

feelthe bark. Is it smooth, rough, spongy? Does the tree have a

fragrance? Let your mindsmellthat fragrance. Let your mindhear the

wind as it rustles the leaves. Visualization is not easy for some, but with

practice you can visualize anything. (Taste also falls into this category,

but for our little discussion, tasting a tree may not be prudent.) During

spellwork you will visualize your goal (and be specific and detailed!)

before directing it into the item you're charging. Ability to Direct

Energy This is the ability to take the energies of the correspondencesand your own energy and directing it towards your goal. When you

charge an object, that energy is initially coming from you. From within

yourself imagine (visualize) a bright light, maybe white or the color that

corresponds with your goal, forming within yourself centered between

your chest and stomach. Let that light grow and expand. Then direct

that light up through your body, down your projective arm, out your

fingertips (or through your athame or wand) and into whatever your

trying to charge. While you direct that light, that energy, you will be

visualizing your intent with as many specifics as you can. It is importantto realize that magick is energy flow. It is not power. All spells create a

tangible connection between the objects used and yourself. When you

work magick, be specific, but be careful! If you do a spell for a new job,

remember to be specific in that your new job doesn't come at the

expense of another! "An Ye Harm None" Remember these words when

you work magick. As you finish your spell, (for me after I light the


3/23

candle), I add something to the affect of "May the energy of this magick

harm none and take a path that is for the good of all involved." For

candle spells remember that the flame must be allowed to continue to

burn until it goes out on its own. I use three and seven day candles that

are in glass jars. You can sprinkle your herbs on the top of them andthey are safer. Remember not to leave a burning candle near drapes or

where something flammable may fall into the flame. Keep in mind that

the glass jars get hot, so handle with care and as the candle reaches the

bottom of the jar, make sure the candle is not sitting on something that

might burn from the heat. I suggest getting a ceramic dish and put some

sand in the bottom to act as insulation. When I leave my home, I place

the candle in my bath tub, just in case. If for some reason it gets

knocked over, there is nothing in my tub that could catch on fire. For

positive spells, once the candle is out, use the stone as a talisman. Carry

it with you or put it someplace where its presence will have an affect.For banishing spells, very carefully remove all remnants, of the candle,

especially the stone, without touching it. Wrap the remnants in white

paper and bury it outside, preferably some distance away. Remember

to write down your spells! You can either keep these spells in your Book

of Shadows or elsewhere. My Book of Shadows is riddled with pieces of

paper, napkins, whatever I happen to jot notes and spells down on.

Some choose to use their computers as their BoS. Regardless, with the

spells written down, can keep track of what works and what doesn't and

you can also keep track of what you are doing while you're doing it. Afew words about magick and ethics. Most magick, at least initially, is

done for yourself. There will be times when spellwork will be used to

benefit other people. Any ethical witch WILL NOT do a spell that will

affect someone else specifically without that person's permission. A

witch must respect another person's soul path. What if you can't ask

them (i.e. you can't reach them, the person is unable to communicate,

etc)? Then you must honestly consider if that person would object. If

your favorite aunt were deathly ill and could not communicate, and you

wanted to do a healing spell for her, you would need to consider if shewould agree to the spell if she could. If she were a devout

Fundamentalist Christian, chances are pretty good she'd say no. You

must respect her choices and her soul path. No witch in their right

mind will perform magick that is intended to manipulate, control or

harm another. Remember, what you send out will come back to you

threefold. A witch should never sell a spell. If someone asks you to do a


4/23

spell for them, it is not unreasonable to ask them to cover the expenses

of the materials used, but other then that, no money should be received

for the magick you do. That is counter productive and can cloud the

intent of the magick. When someone asks you to do a spell for them, if

possible, instead of you doing the spell, teach them how to do it. Thespell will have a better chance at success and they will have a better

understanding of how the magick works.

Colors. We perceive them as bright or dark, deep or light, sort-of this

and sort-of that, but regardless of whether it's a royal blue or an earth

brown, color affects us. It has been proven that colors have an affect on

our brains and they do produce different emotional results. What do

you think of when you see red? Passion? Maybe Anger? Regardless, the

response is dramatic. Colors as used in magick are similar in that they

should evoke a response from you, but keep in mind, your response tosay purple, may be different than mine and this is perfectly okay. If you

see pink as healthy or health, so be it. The colors must have meaning to

the person using them. The magick of colors can be used in many

different ways, just let your creativity show you the way. The use of

colors in magick is only limited to what you want to use the colors for.

Candle Magick, Mojo bags, pottets, robes, and alter and tool

decorations all benefit from the use of colors. How will you use them?

Find books with listings of the local flora for your region and you might

be surprised as to what is available in your neighborhood. Also, there

are many wonderful books available that have extensive lists and more

information on how to use herbs in magick and everyday life. One such

bood is Scott Cunningham'sEncyclopedia of Magical Herbs publishedby Llewellyn Press.**Warning!!**

Some of these herbs are poisonous and should be treat with considerable

respect and by all means, they should NOT be ingested! Before working

with any herb, make sure you know what you're working with! Be sure

to keep all your herbs out of the reach of children and pets.Herbal Gender

"Contrary to what you may have heard,magic is anatural process."--Scott Cunningham

Crystals, stones and metals have been used by humans for tens of

thousands of years. They are used to make our homes and have been

made into weapons or used to sharpen them. They also have been used

as tools of magick and religious ritual and as talismans and offerings to

the Gods. We may not notice them, but they are everywhere in our lives.

It is not uncommon to find the even the most skeptical non-believer

wearing a birthstone ring, the stone considered lucky for a person born

during that month. Today, the natural energies of stones and crystalsare being rediscovered by a whole new generation. As tools of magick,

stones lend us their energies and provide us with places to store our own

energies. They are like natural batteries, storing within them the

energies of the Earth. They come in a rainbow of colors from ice clear to

solid, glossy black and come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures.

They are a direct connection to the Earth that provides us with all we

need for existence. They are found within the Earth, a true gift of the

Goddess and God. Stones are used as talismans to protect from the

unknown and are returned to the Earth to insure the fertility of the

fields and the success of the crops. Stone magick covers all aspects of

life: health, love, prosperity, spirituality, wisdom, just to name a few. In

conjunction with candle magick, stones add their energies and

concentrate the purpose within themselves. Because of this, the stone

used for a positive spell is retrieved and used as a talisman. For a

negative or banishing spell, the stone is never touch and carefully


11/23

returned to the earth far from your home. Before a stone is used in a

spell, the stone should be charged with the purpose of the spell. This is

done by holding the stone in your projective (right) hand and letting the

energy that is within you pour into the stone while visualizing the

purpose. Some say the best stones are the ones you gather yourself. Formost of us, this is not very realistic, but if you can, try to find stones in

stream beds or lake bottoms, maybe from a wooded path or even in

your own back yard. Remember, when you do gather stones, ask the

Earth first and then thank it for its sacrifice. Some witches perform a

small ritual before they go on stone gather expeditions, making offerings

to the Earth and praying for a good hunt. Keep in mind that the stones

you buy from whatever source (I found a wonderful selection at a

Books-A-Million not too long ago), the stones need to be cleansed of any

negativity or lingering psychic clutter. You have no idea how many

people have handled the stones before you or how they were claimedfrom the Earth, but you can probably guess that the Earth was not

asked or thanked for its sacrifice. The stones can be cleansed using

several methods. Set the stone in direct sunlight, preferable outside, and

let the Sun's energies do the work. The stone should stay outside for

anywhere from one day to a week, depending on how much other energy

the stone's absorbed. The stone should be brought in every evening at

dusk. Check the stone by placing it in your receptive hand (left). Does

the stones natural energy vibrations feel normal? Once they do, the

cleansing is finished. If you happen to live near a stream or river ormaybe on the ocean, you can use the running water to cleanse the stones

as well. This is done by placing the stones in a mesh bag, tying them off

somehow so as to not loose them and let the running water cleanse them

overnight. If one night is not enough, leave it for another. The Earth

can also be used, although this method is much more time consuming.

Take the stones and bury them in the earth. Remember to mark where

the stones are buried! Leave them there for a week or two. Check them

to see if they are cleansed. If not, rebury them and wait another week.

If none of these methods are possible, a small ritual can be performedusing a bowl of fresh earth (North), a small basin of water (West),

incense (East) and a red candle (South). Pass the stone through each of

these elements while asking the element to aid in cleansing the stone of

all negativity and unwanted energies. Follow the links below to charts

containing information about some of the various stones and crystals

and their attributes.

EnergyThere are two basic energies that stones possess. They are eitherprojective, or

receptive. Projective stones tend to be strong, bright, forceful. Receptive stones are

calm, inward, peaceful. Follow the chart below to learn more about these uniqueenergies and the stones that fall into each category.

OILS AND ESSENCES

Like the herbs and stones used in magick, oils and essences play an

important role in a witch's magickal life. We use oils in candle spells, in

potppouri, we rub them on talismans and stones, we place them in

baths, and on ourselves to boost magickal intent. Remember that oils

need to be used in conjunction with visualization. Essences can be

incense, musks and tinctures. The most common essence is incensewhich can be bought in almost any large retail store (Walmart even has

a small selection of incense and incense burners) or through

metaphysical stores and Craft supply stores (one of the best supplies of

incense I've seen was at a flea market). The Complete Book of Incense,

Oils & Brews by Scott Cunningham is a wonderful book that not only

lists how these essential magickal correspondences can aid your magick,

but also has recipes for how to make your own. On to the tables.

Bide the Wiccan Law ye must, In perfect love and perfect trust. Eight words the

Wiccan Rede fulfill: An' ye harm none, do what ye will. What ye send forth comes

back to thee So ever mind the law of three. Follow this with mind and heart, Merry

ye meet, and merry ye part. Blessed Be.

enlist their help.

Any of the Scott Cunningham Encyclopedias of magickal

correspondences.

The following book is not for the faint of heart, but I feel it is none the

less an important part of a witch's education.The Malleus Maleficarum

(The Witch Hammer) by Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger was

originally printed in or about 1486. It was by this horrid book thatwitch hunters took their cues and massacred hundreds of thousands of

"witches" in the name of Christianity. It is now known that of those

thousands (some say millions) a very small percentage were what we

today would consider witches. Most were women, most were innocent of

the crimes for which they died. It has been reprinted several times over

the centuries. This book is not for everyone, but it is an important

source of information about what we have overcome.
