Devising Your Own Spells
You will often be able to find spells for most purposes but being able to write your own is particularly useful. Not only can you use ingredients that are at hand but you can also tailor the spell exactly to its purpose. This makes it that much stronger.
When it comes to spells, there is no real hard and fast rule about how they should be phrased. They can be as simple or as complex as you like. They do not have to be perfect prose and they do not have to rhyme, unless you so desire.
Start off by deciding which deity you are going to ask for help. Choose items that are sacred to that deity in order to strengthen the spell. Items such as herbs sacred to that deity, incense related to them, etc.
Then add in what it is that you want help with. It is important that you are as clear as possible about what you want help with. Be as specific as possible to avoid ambiguous results.
You should always end each spell with a phrase such as, “And harm none, so be it.” or “To the greater good, let it be done.” You want to add this in so that your spell does not hurt anyone else.
Next choose when you will perform your spell. Getting the spell cast at the right phase in the lunar cycle should be top priority. After that is sorted out, you can choose the most auspicious day.
Candles are a powerful magical tool and can be useful to help you focus. Choose candles in colors related to what you are asking for or colors sacred to the deity of your choice.
You can also see whether or not there are any magical symbols that will aid your spell – these can be carved into the candles or drawn on a piece of paper.
It may be useful to have a representation of the person that the spell is about, if applicable.
Don’t get too caught up in the makings of the spell though – sometimes the simplest ones are the best.
