Guide for Successful Spells For Witches and Non-Witches

The mind is more powerful than even the top scientists can explain. Because of that, anyone can perform a spell just the same as anyone can pray or bless someone or something. The power of prayer is extraordinary and utilizing other tools can only benefit your aspirations and wishes. A spell is a well-driven mechanism that brings about a desired outcome. Basically, a spell focuses your positive energy to help you get what you want. We often utilize other tools as explained below. The energy generated by the ritual is directed out into the universe. Most often, the most successful and effective spells are simple ones that you concoct yourself. Most importantly, your belief, intent and will is what gives the spell the genuine power.
On a personal note, I am more than 1/2 Native American and I am also a witch. I combine both traditions for my own rituals, blessings, prayer and spells. You need not be a witch, Native American Indian or anything else to perform such acts. Just be yourself; what is within your own soul and feelings. That is what matters most for spells or life itself.

• A strong need or desire: Whatever your goal, you must want it bad enough. That empowers your energy which, in turn, empowers the magick.


• Knowledge: Understand your principles and motives fully and be in tune with your inner self.


• Respect for the process and earth: Think of it as a secret family recipe. It is not for others' eyes. Don't discuss your spells with others unless consulting with him or her. Speaking about your magick can dilute the potency. Also, if you take from the earth, give something back.


• Have faith: Believe in the outcome. You must truly feel deserving of your goal. In other words, if you are wishing to win the lottery (who isn't?) be realistic. Do you really believe you can win? If yes, then go for it.


• Use your imagination and creative visualization during and after the spell. Visualize the outcome you are wanting.

I have provided you with a few spell examples.in this lens. Use them with caution and only after learning at least the basics of spell craft here and any other source. I cannot emphasize enough about the importance of responsibility, accountability, possible interference and unforeseen outcomes. Using the tools, colors and scents is fine but try to change the wording a bit if possible. Every spell MUST be YOUR OWN. You need to make it YOUR OWN. Add a phrase or change some words around. As I stated, no spell book you can buy can be used for your personal spell. You must change it a bit to make it personally yours and with your energy and intent. That is another reason why using spells from some book you purchased off the shelf will often fail. Make it your own. Use those books as only a guide.

Your Sacred Space

You will need an area to yourself. Choose a place that will provide you with a focal point and a storage area for your ritual items. You can use a small table covered with a cloth and place your items upon it. You can even simply use the ground or floor.
You will want to use symbols of the 4 elements. A bowl of sand, sea salt, or some stones to symbolize Earth. Use candles or a wand to symbolize Fire. Try using incense to symbolize Air and a water filled bowl for Water. Then, if you choose, place your other ritual tools around them such as a pentagram (representing the elements and spirit) herbs, talismans, stones, crystals, flowers, etc. If the spell involves another, place a picture, lock of hair or any other object with their energy attached.

"We are not evil. We don't harm or seduce people. We are not dangerous. We are ordinary people like you. We have families, jobs, hopes, and dreams. We are not a cult. This religion is not a joke. We are not what you think we are from looking at T.V. We are real. We laugh, we cry. We are serious. We have a sense of humor. You don't have to be afraid of us. We don't want to convert you. And please don't try to convert us. Just give us the same right we give you--to live in peace. We are much more similar to you than you think."

Stones & Crystals

Inanimate stones and crystals are alive with magical potential. It's hard to believe but it's true! These enchanting objects symbolize our earthly nature that provide a link between the physical world and the mystical realm. Stones should be cleansed with saltwater and energized by gentle tapping or exposure to the light of a full moon.

Oils

Oils not only smell good but can be used for empowerment, blessings, banishings, healing and anointing other objects. They should be diluted with a carrier oil such as almond or vegetable oil. Do this slowly, though, because you want to see how the scents combine. You can also add herbs or crystals to the oil. To banish negative energy or cleanse an area or item, try using oak moss and rue oil.

Other suggestions for tools containing natural energies are herbs, foods such as nuts or fruit, flowers, trees and leaves. An example of using a flower for a spell would be to choose the bud of a flower that harmonizes with your goal. Place it in a vase filled with water. Write a spell on a piece of virgin paper (parchment paper) and when the bud blossoms, it represents the magick being "fixed." Once the flower starts to wilt, pour the remaining water outside under the light of the moon. Whatever your spell called for, use the appropriate moon phase if possible. (Banishing or lessening, use the waning moon. Empowering or growth, use a waxing moon.)

Doing magick while there is a storm going on is a great idea. Of course, I am not suggesting going outside and risk getting struck by lightning, but a screened or glass enclosed lanai works well. Lightning is electrical energy just as WE are. It gives more power and potency to your workings. Being amidst of nature in any form is always helpful. You are in the presence of nature and become in tune with all the natural energy the environment provides. Remember, your magick is natural energy.

As many know, the moon has a significant influence on humans, plants and animals. It is a fact that emergency rooms and police are busiest on the day and night of the full moon. It is probably the most important factor for anyone to perform certain acts, make certain decisions and especially doing magick when aligned with the proper moon phase.

I don't want to harp upon some of the other information I have provided in other lenses. However, I do feel the need to always mention using caution with ANY magick, spells, healings or spirit callings upon the deceased.
I do want to mention that if you are ever doing any type of magick (excluding prayer or blessings, of course) and are not a witch, shaman, or have only little or no experience or knowledge regarding rituals, please use extreme caution. It may sound a bit exaggerated or extreme but ask any witch how important the warning is. Personally, I have received calls and emails from people who attempted to use the Necronomicon and other methods of magick only to regret it deeply and/or it went completely wrong.

T here is much involved with using magick. Simply reading a book or two on the subject is certainly not sufficient. There is a reason witches, even natural witches, are trained, educated, experienced and have to earn the respect of the Elders. There is also no over-the-counter spell book authored by a witch that will tell you everything. It may provide the words, chant, tools and other information for a spell but it will never give out the entirety of the process. We are sworn to secrecy after initiation and acceptance into the Craft. With that knowledge, it may make it more clear to anyone inexperienced as to why I emphasize caution. Essence of An American Witch explains a lot more about this.
