Witchcraft Spells

There is no one right way in witchcraft, which means that you have the power to create your own witchcraft spells.

One of the first things to consider in constructing a spell is when you will be casting it. 

The phases of the moon are important here. 

The waxing moon is a time for spells involving increasing and attracting. 

The waning moon is a time for spells involving decreasing or repelling.  The full moon is the time of greatest power, followed by the new moon.
 
Deciding on what tools and ingredients to use in your spell is a time for your creativity to show itself.  You may wish to create a charm or talisman with your spell.  Or your choices may have a symbolic relationship to the spell you are casting (like burying something that you want to put out of mind). 

Use the information you have about the properties of different magical elements.  Be sure to incorporate colors, scents and minerals in your witchcraft spells.

Once you know what you are going to use in your spell, you will want to write out the actual ritual.  Many witches have an opening ritual, often casting the circle, which they begin all of their magical workings with.   You may have one of these that you have adopted from your earlier teachings, or you may compose one now.  

As was said before, there is no right way to cast a spell, just as there is no one right way to make cookies.  Don't get too hung up on specific wordings, just go with what feels right to you.  Invoke the power of the Goddess and/or God as you wish and make your request. 

The words are really only a structure for the power of your mind, so they are not nearly as important as the energy you are putting into them.  

If you are stuck when composing witchcraft spells, go ahead and look at some other spells for ideas.  There is no reason you cannot borrow words that ring true to what you are trying to accomplish. 

There is hardly a spell around that hasn't borrowed from another spell in some way. 

Witchcraft spells come from a long tradition and they have always borrowed from each other.  Spells published on the internet or in books are meant to be used by anyone who needs them, however, if you are going to publish any of your own witchcraft spells, make sure to ask permission if you are copying another person's words directly.
