One Person’s View) Explained: “How to Write Your Own Spells” (In-Depth Guide)

There is nothing wrong with using spells found in books or on the internet, but they can contain errors, have bad consequences, or can simply not align with what you are seeking.

In this article, I will teach you how to draw inspiration from spells you find in order to write your own!

Writing and Working Your Own Spells

 

While using spells made by other people can be just as effective, writing your own spells is not that difficult at all. In fact, in some cases, it is more than encouraged. Another person’s work will not resonate with you as much as your own words will. Even when working with a traditional spell, making modifications to the words to suit your specific goal can enhance the results.

Learning how to write original spells is important to you as a modern practitioner especially in times when the exact kind of spell that you are searching for cannot be found in a book.

Work a vague spell and you are likely to get a vague result. With the exception of a few special cases, the first secret to writing an effective spell is to be as specific as possible. This entails knowing exactly what you want. Try not to send mixed signals to the universe because if you do, it is likely to come back to you. This is why, as previously mentioned, meditation is often a prerequisite prior to dealing with spells.

You should take your time to formulating the words. Remember the ambiguous wording can be dangerous. Also, be careful what you ask for because, well, you know the rest…

Symbolism plays a crucial role in magick spell workings. The second thing to consider when writing an original magick spell is whether you need certain tools to accompany it. The commonly used tools for spells include crystals, candles, robes, incense and herbs. While these items may not possess magick by themselves, they help in building the atmosphere. Remember to cleanse and consecrate these objects before using them.

The third ingredient to working a spell is the timing. You must determine whether the moon phase is a vital factor to your spell. Performing a spell under the right moon phase is likely to increase its effectiveness. Keep in mind that spells used to attract things and spells for abundance are best performed under a waxing moon.

A full moon provides the highest energy, followed by the new moon. Spells used to send things away are performed under a waning moon. If a spell needs to be performed during a specific time of the day or for several successive nights or days, follow it conscientiously.

A magick spell is more effective when you keep them in tune with the seasons. For example, you can do spells used to start things during the planting season and do spells used for obtaining things during harvest season.

Write down your magick spell on paper. The written word, in itself, is magick. While you write, you are transferring your energy into your words. Writing by hand also enables you to enter a different state of consciousness.

If a spell has not worked within an entire lunar month, chances are you need to rework the wording or the procedure.

Finally, the most important rule: Believe in your spell. Working a spell, no matter how wonderfully worded, without believing in it will result to failure. You should never attempt to cast a spell without sufficient faith in magick because doing so is to render yourself vulnerable to negative forces.

May 23, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for May 23rd, 2025 is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 25.59 days old and 21.65% illuminated with a tilt of -69.904°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 365,658.59 km and the moon sign is Aries.

The Moon phase for May 23rd, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on May 23 has an illumination of 17%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On May 23 the Moon is 25.55 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 11:30 AM to 12:45 PM EDT today (8:30 AM to 9:45 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

**** You feel sympathy for someone today because the Moon is in your sign lined up with Neptune, which creates feelings of compassion and empathy within you. However, this can also lead to confusion. It’s almost as if you are bombarded with too much subtle stimuli. Tread carefully.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

*** A confusing situation might lead to a compromised business decision today. Be careful. In one way, you will help someone in need. But in another way, information could be misleading, which means you could have later regrets. Caution.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

***** You’re confident and friendly today, which is why you’re ready to help a friend if they need assistance. Or perhaps, you’ll lend your expertise and energy to a charitable organization that is linked to another country because your idealism is aroused today.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

**** You are nurturing sign. Today you might work behind the scenes; and yet, you might make a public presence in some way to promote a good cause. You might also develop a crush on a boss or someone in authority, especially because you admire their values.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

**** Romance with someone different might blossom today because you feel a kinship with others, especially if you think you can help someone in need, perhaps in another country. People will listen to you today because you will speak with conviction.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

***** You are in a position to make a difference in the life of someone today because you’re admired, due to the fact the Sun is casting you in a flattering spotlight. This dazzling image could help you fund raise or get money from a third party for a cause.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

**** You want to travel and “get away from all this” today. You might persuade a friend, spouse or partner into joining you for a tiny vacation – even an overnight trip – to satisfy your desire to break free and make a run for it. And you’re right – sometimes a change is as good as a rest.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

**** This is a passionate, romantic day! This can be expressed in many ways for you but one of them could be a work-related flirtation that blossoms into something special. You might also meet someone through a pet or health-related situation. Dress your best.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

**** Today has the potential for fairytale romance for your sign. Because you have stars in your eyes (metaphorically), you are ready to see romantic potential in many places. This same influence can revive an existing relationship in a lovely, special way. Who knew?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** Your desire to help a family member or to listen with sympathy to what they want to say is admirable today. You might also entertain at home, or do something to make your home more attractive, perhaps in an extravagant way.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

***** If beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, this certainly applies to love for your sign today. You see beauty in your everyday surroundings; and likewise, you see the beauty of other people around you. This is why many of you will develop a crush or fall in love with someone.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

**** Be careful with financial matters today because you might be tempted to spend too much money on something elegant or luxurious. Furthermore, you might be misled with financial matters and then later regret something. Nevertheless, romance is promising for you!

If Your Birthday Is Today

So no more pessimism, incertitude or desperation. Don’t imagine that you ought to receive whatever you want instantly but surely there will be some kind of confirmation you are on the right track.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You seem to be spending your hard earned money on little nothings that you don’t really need and probably blame your lack of self-restrain on the sneaky sales or manipulating techniques. Well, to put it bluntly, it is all you.

No one will interfere in your habits though, because surely they don’t want to risk some kind of reprimand.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Someone from your long gone past or even from the recent one will come back into your life and perhaps is not an ordinary person but someone who has influenced you to a degree.

You are seeing things differently and they will probably help you come to grips with some kind of loss you couldn’t get past.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Someone younger than you will teach you a valuable lesson of love and understanding today and not only will you be impressed by this but you will probably steal a bit of their charm and their lesson to apply it yourself with others.

This is a highly emotional day and although you might have to deal with some mundane tasks, you won’t be bothered by them at all.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You seem to be exposing yourself to a high degree of stress at work, perhaps due to the period or maybe because you have some kind of project going on.

In any case, although the atmosphere may be tense around you, it seems that you maintain your sense of humor and try to find ways to dodge all those difficult moments.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Good news from all fronts, but more from the emotional one as you seem to be very in tune to what you want and to the ways you can work to obtain it.

Now it is important for you to reflect on that further and also to set some goals that you are willing to follow for a long period of time. Your partner or someone you fancy could come to you with a decision as well.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Emotional but understanding, you are quick to show just how much you care, especially this Thursday and to anyone coming to you.

And if they come for some nice words, you surely are not going to send them off with just that and probably will do even more for them and make them feel welcomed. You may have good interactions with children.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are keeping a keen eye on the valuables in your life and perhaps at times prove to be a little too materialistic.

But this Thursday will also teach you a lesson about your efforts and how those bring further satisfaction. Also, this satisfaction might translate today into interactions with other people, some who may be from a different social circle.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You seem to show quite a realistic love to your significant other and perhaps you lack those real emotions. And this might not be on your side, especially if your partner is doubting you in any way.

Perhaps you need to show them more of what is going on in your mind or try to show love in a way you can, with less emotion but more proof.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are cheerful and could laugh out of almost anything and this is exactly what you are doing in the company of anyone, no matter how long or short you have known them.

And not only this attitude of yours is contagious but might actually change the day for the better for someone who is not in the best of places and you might not even know.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The current disposition has moved the attention of the stars to a more material area of your life but you are still quite emotional and don’t seem to figure just yet what is important for you.

At the same time, a bit of quarrel, perhaps at home, might have a bigger impact than you can imagine on how you perceive things further.
