A Physical Circle

A Physical Circle

Your circle can be of various forms or sizes and can be created either before or as a part of the spell of ritual. A physically marked circle can be a good idea if you are a very visual person or are inviting people who maybe are unfamiliar with magic and need a tangible focus.

Some people create a permanent circle in their garden of stones and shells and then empower it at the beginning of each spell or ritual. This sort of circle retains positive energies and is regularly empowered by the weather, the moon, the sun and the seasons.

The materials you use to give an outline of your circle don’t have to join up and their size will depend on the size of the circle. Small shells, stones, glass nuggets or crystals can easily be set up round a traveling altar to create a circle just before a spell.

White stones are generally used for circles, but you can also make a large temporary physical circle with fallen branches, herbs or flowers set clockwise around your altar area. You can even weave branches together to make the circle.

Flower circles are lovely at personal, family or seasonal celebrations, and a young guest can help to form a flower circle either just before or as part of the ceremony if at a baby blessing or hand fasting.

It it is windy, use masses of herbs and petals in the formation so it doesn’t matter if some blow away. In fact, once you have empowered the circle, the flowers are no longer necessary and can carry energies as they fly.

You can also add a petal circle as the first or third of your triple circles.

For a large or small temporary circle, make a circle of tea lights and light them clockwise from inside the circle at the start of the ceremony.

You can alternatively put a larger green candle in the north for earth, a yellow one in the east for air, a red on in the south for fire and a blue one in the west for water and light these when you open the watchtowers or early in the spell to open the circle and create tangible markets. You would cast a spiritual or invisible circle first to enclose them.

If the setting allows, you can use a natural existing outdoor circle, such as a grove of trees or a ring of flowers or toadstools. Always ask permission of the natural essences of the place. You do not need to cast or uncast this kind of circle as the natural energies will hold the power and protection but always leave an offering.

Alternatively, you can draw a clockwise circle in earth, snow or sand with a stick, or your staff. Try to do it in a single sweep.

If you are organizing a group rite, you can make a circle of people united in good will. After the blessing you can lead your guests in joining hands, ideally left palm up, right palm down, though it doesn’t really matter if someone does it differently.

You then have the option of casting a spiritual physical or invisible circle behind the group.

It is best to ask the group how they prefer to cast the circle themselves, starting with the person in the north of the circle and moving clockwise from person to person. Ask each in turn to pass visualized light from hand to hand saying just their name slowly and deliberately, “Birgitta, Susan, Helen………..”

Alternatively you could pass an actual light in a secure holder from person to person (they would then not hold hands)

Either way, you will psychically see the light circle spreading and rising above and down to the ground.

Be part of the group for the casting (maybe start it yourself in the north). Afterwards you can all chant:

We are the circle, we are the circle,

With no beginning and with no ending.

Blessed be

You can drop hands at any time, but the circle remains.

Some practitioners light any candles/incense before the circle casting, but you may prefer to light them near the beginning of the ritual after this first circle is cast.

 

Magickal Squares and Circles In Natural Magick

Magickal Squares and Circles In Natural Magick

Magickal squares and circles date back to prehistory. Megalithic stone circles were created from around 3,500 BCE and set out according to precise geometric and astronomical measurements. They were used for rituals of all kinds by the Neolithic tribes especially on the seasonal change points to invoke the ancestors for fertility of crops, animals and people and continued to provide the setting for magickal gatherings throughout the millennia.

In Sweden and Norway the sacred square grid has formed a magickal device for more than three thousand years. It was used originally on the great seasonal fire festivals, at midwinter, midsummer and harvest. Nine turf squares were etched in the earth and eight removed, leaving the middle one to form the center of the ritual fire.

The magick circle and square also have their place in modern natural magick. Both shapes occur naturally in forest clearings and can be drawn in sand, earth or snow or formed out of twigs, branches, shells, flowers or even crystals.

Both act as markers for the main directions, the circle as though on a clock face and the square halfway along each side, both giving equal segment for the element.

“THINK on THESE THINGS” for October 3

“THINK on THESE THINGS”
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler

Courage must have its everyday face. We can’t preserve it just for special occasions. We must have courage when we are disappointed, because disappointment is a robber of reason and faith, and even dignity. We must remember that whatever we have to meet there is something within us to help us meet it. But it is like a vein of rich ore. We must tap it, know what it is, and turn it into a finished product that will serve a purpose.

Every day we must have courage to forgive. The adamant we shall always face, but to forgive is to disarm. To forgive is to release and to release is to remove the graceless things that make it necessary to forgive.

A little common, everyday courage can give a life so much more to live for and to find contentment in the knowledge that today I did not give in to the smaller self. And I can draw on the strength from One who bore personal suffering with supreme courage.

A comforting adage is that it is always darkest just before the dawn. The darkness of fear and worry and misunderstanding can last only so long, and then the light of dawn breaks through to show everything in its true perspective.

To someone who is troubled, the darkness holds only the most frightening difficulties. This kind of night seems to have no end, but given a little time it will pass, as will our problems.

The very fact that we are not alone should give some comfort, for no matter what we are experiencing someone else has been there too. We must not delude ourselves with notions that we are meant to be cross-bearers forever.

And frequently, they are much better people who emerge from their own night to remember that it is as important to have faith in the dark as it is easy to have faith in the sunshine.

The Witches Spell for October 1: Candle Money Spell

The Witches Spell for Monday, October 1:  Candle Money Spell

A good candle spell for wealth and prosperity requires two black candles since black draws in all color and energy in the universe. Carve your name and the words “money,” “wealth,” “riches” and any other words of power along the sides of the candles. Then light the candles and grasp them both firmly in your hands until your feel your energy and intentions surging into the candles.

Then say:

“These candles bring me wealth and riches.”

Follow up by saying:

“If this be the Will of the Universe,

So shall it be, So Mote It Be.”

When finished do not let the candles continue to burn. Put them out.

Begin this spell on Sunday, Thursday or Friday, as these days honor the Sun, Jupiter, and Venus.

Light the candles every night until they are completely burned down. This spell should increase your wealth and prosperity. Remember after doing a spell forget it, don’t dwell on it.

Water, Earth

and Spirit I am.

Return to me.

Restore me.

So Mote It Be.”

Now touch the middle of your pentacle with your wand and hold it there until you feel the headache gone or the stress relieved.

Cleansing Cursed Objects

Cleansing Cursed Objects

To rid negativity from objects that are cursed or seem unlucky, perform the following spell when the moon is at its fullest:

Go to a river or stream that runs north to south, place the object in the water and say:

“Trapped inside is a curse, now removed you’ll be with this verse,”

Running water, spirits good. Remove this curse. So Mote It Be.”

Remove the object, cast a silver coin and a handful of Thyme into it’s waters and leave.

*Do not cleanse anything containing Iron.

The Witches Spell for Sept. 30: The Neutralizing Bottle Spell

The Bottle Spell

A spell used to neutralize others bad or harmful intentions towards you.

 

Items You Will Need:

4 tbs. Frankincense or myrrh

4 tbs. Black powdered iron

4 tbs. Sea salt

4 tbs. Orris Root powder (or Oak Moss)

1 White candle

1 Bottle with a cord or lid

Mortar and pestle

Parchment paper

Black Pen

Black Thread

 

The Spell:

Used to neutralize the power of those who intend to do you physical harm or hurt your reputation or in any way pose a threat to your security. Mix the sea salt, orris root powder and the iron in a bowl. Then cut a piece of parchment to fit inside your bottle and write on it with black ink.

“I neutralize the power of (Name of adversary) to do me any harm. I ask this be correct and for the good of all. So Mote It Be!”

Roll up the parchment, tie it with a black thread to bind it, and place it in the bottle. Fill the bottle with dry ingredients. Then take the white candle and while turning the bottle counterclockwise, drip the wax over the cork to seal it. Last, secretly bury the bottle in a place where it will not be disturbed and no animals or people will dig it up. This spell is like a genie in a bottle. It should never be unleashed or the power of the spell is lost.

Spell of the Day for September 29: Charm Protection Spell

Charm Protection Spell

 

Items You Will Need:

Small Clear Crystal

An Acorn

Rosemary

Mandrake

Green Silk or Cotton

 

The Spell:

Take a small clear crystal, an acorn, some rosemary and mandrake and a bit of green silk or cotton. It doesn’t need to be a big piece. Cast your circle and creating a pouch from the herbs, bless them with each Element saying:

“While this dwells within, there will be protection without. Cleanse and charge this charm, Element of against all who wish me ill!”

Now hang this somewhere not too obviously, like hiding it in a corner or over a window. This will protect you till Samhain when you should burn it in the sacred fire, crystal and all. If it is not too tainted, the fire will just cleanse the crystal and you’ll be able to retreive it from the ashes but I always recommend just getting a new one.

Spell of the Day for Sept. 27: The Gimme Gumption Spell

Witchy Comments The Gimme Gumption Spell

Materials:

1 reversible candle, black on white (Alternatively, color a white candle completely with a black permanent marker.)

1 shot glass filled with rum bourbon, scotch or vodka (Substitute a shot glass of water flavored with rum extract, if you like.)

Since this is a war of sorts–and Mars energy is essential for any type of successful battle–plan to perform this spell on a Tuesday on either the Full or New Moon. Fill the glass and light the candle, then place the glass directly in front of you. Ground and center in your normal fashion; then say something like.

Confrontation is not my foe.

It’s not an opponent; it causes no woe.

It is my friend now and as such.

It straightens out the cause of much

Confused and wrongful accusation.

Misunderstanding and misinformation

It soothes out wrinkles while it mends

Relationships that might otherwise end.

It no longer makes me sick.

For now I’ve finally learned the trick:

That anger plays no part; instead,

Resolution weaves its threads.

That said I now infuse my gutsy gumption

This liquid for my own consumption.

At this point, think about what gumption and courage means to you, then hold the glass aloft, and blow the candle that thought across the liquid  to infuse and charge it. Place the glass in front of the candle and continue, saying something like:

And before this candle, it is placed.

So its energies will interlace

With my infusion to bring it power

As it burns by minute and by hour.

To banish worries, woes and fears,

To banish nervous shakes and tears,

And bring forth the courage that I need

To defend myself with grace and speed.

The gumption asked for now is wonk

As I will, so be it done.

When the candle extinguishes itself, drink the liquid, feel the courage flow through your body and make a firm resolve  never to be stopped on again.

Why Spells Don’t Always Work

WHY SPELLS DON’T ALWAYS WORK

Spell casting, in and of itself, is not difficult. Generally, it follows an

easy formula with separate and distinct steps. A spell is a procedure to

follow to reach a desired end. It does not require a great deal of money, a

huge compendium of tools, or exotic ingredients to work. It does require

faith in yourself and a connection with deity.

When describing spells to non-magickal people, a witch will often tell them

that a spell is much like a prayer. You are calling upon divinity to assist

you, as in a prayer, but a spell requires more than just pleading to divinity

to help you out of a jam. In a spell YOU are an active ingredient. Your

faith and your knowledge are as important as understanding there is divinity

out there to call upon.

Many of you have already heard of the Witches’ Pyramid, the foundation of our

magickal acts: To Know, To Will, To Dare, and To Be Silent. This pyramid is

the underlying structure of any spell formula.

To Know

Before you can cast a spell, you need to know who you are. Ego aside, you

have to come to terms with who you are, how you operate, and why you do the

things you do.

The second thing you must know is precisely what you want. This is not as

easy as it seems. People rarely sit back and consider what they really want

out of life. Part of this is because they are afraid. They fear they may not

get what they want, and they fear that they will fail. These fears stop us

from knowing.

For example, time and time again people I know have spelled for love. They

have not done the ultimate no-no by targeting a specific person, but they do

something just as bad–they don’t really know what they ultimately want.

When they get what they spelled for, often they are disappointed, because

there is something attached to that new lover they didn’t think of.

Therefore, all spells must be specific.

One of the best ways to begin a working is to write out, in detail, exactly

what you want in one straight line on a piece of paper. Underneath,

phonetically begin to pare each word down. Underneath that line, pare the

words down again. Continue this procedure until only one letter from each

word is left. Interlock the few remaining letters into a sigil. Use this

sigil in whatever magickal application you have chosen to ensure your spell

remains specific.

To Will

Another stumbling block in spell casting is lack of will, whether it is will

power, belief, or conviction. Will depends on how badly you want to make a

change. Do you believe you are capable of making the change, or do you think

it is only wishful thinking? Are you willing to re-program your mind, your

environment, your relationships, in order to bring about the change you

desire? Without will, a spell will fizzle. Is your mind fogged with doubt,

or unnecessary problems that will prevent bringing about the change you say

you want?

One of the best techniques for increasing your will power is the use of

meditation on a daily basis. Once you have learned to relax, use the alpha

state to program the events you wish to come to pass. You should work on

both short-term and long-term goals.

Another technique that is useful in spell casting is to write down why you

wish to manifest something. Let this explanation sit on your altar

overnight, then re-read it. Does it make sense? Is this what you really

want? Does your reasoning still appear firm, or is it full of holes?

Are you patient? Patience has a lot to do with will. Once you have a firm

grip on “will,” you are a third of the way through on accurate spell casting.

To Dare

To dare means you are not inclined to sit around on your laurels. It means

that you are not choosing to procrastinate, rather you are choosing to move

with purpose. To dare indicates that you are no longer afraid of the

outcome, or fear failure. You are confident that you control your own

destiny to the point where you won’t even argue about it, either with someone

else, or yourself.

Although “to dare” doesn’t appear to create a lot of work, it does require

you to make an active decision. This is the next catalyst for your magickal

operation. From here, you will plan the appropriate day, hour, moon phase,

astrological energies, and tools required for working magick, including what

divinity you will choose. To dare can lead to a great deal of work and

preparation.

To Be Silent

Even if you are an adept, you should learn to be quiet about your magickal

operations. There is only one exception, which is when you are working with

a group. If the group mind is actively participating on a project they

should be informed of their success or failure.

In the beginning, you should be silent so that you are not affected by

others’ opinions. Don’t tell them what you are performing magick for, as you

risk failure. Why? Because they can unconsciously affect you with their

disbelief or negativity.

Likewise, once you become proficient at spell casting, don’t announce

it–especially to a novice. No real adept will ever tell a novice that “My

spells always work.” Not only is it rude, it is also untrue. Everyone

fails. Imagine what a novice would think if they knew you lost your job,your

kids are running rampant, and you are deeply in debt. If your spells always

worked, you would not be in such a fix, would you? Foolish words can ruin

your reputation, which in turn, will ruin your own self-confidence.

Therefore, keep your trap shut–this ensures success in your magickal

operations as well as keeping your reputation intact. No one likes a

braggart, and no one considers an egotistical Witch a good leader or cleric.

When Spell’s Fail

Try this chant

Oh God/dess (whoever you worship) I am not worthy of

your perfect grace, nor the magick i find within myself

and within you. I ask now in Just, for i have grown weak

that thou would accompany me in rituals and spells.

Be By my side in this time of need. I do not deserve you

Oh God/dess. but still i ask, for i am only but a mortal

Oh God/dess, Bless me!

Oh God/dess, accompany me!

Oh God/dess, Shine light upon me!

Oh God/dess, grant me wisdom!

Oh God/dess, Grant me Humility!

Oh God/dess, Stay with me!

Oh God/dess, Protect me from evil!

Oh God/dess, I love thee above all things!

Please Oh ancient ones, hear me!

Amen

Basic Spell Construction

BASIC SPELL CONSTRUCTION

Write your own spells

Because of the very nature of Magick, each working should be highly

individualised and personal. Even if following a traditional spell,

it should be tailored to your specific needs to be most effective

for you. Understanding the basics of Spell Construction will enable

you to formulate your own specific, effective spells for any purpose

you desire.

Preliminary planning is necessary. The very first step is to decide

precisely what your desired end result is to be. Before you can

start, you must decide where you are going. You must be very

explicit.

Flowing with these currents will make your magickal work much easier.

Remember to plan your project for a time of uninterrupted privacy.

It is important that you have no distractions. Generally speaking,

it is best to work as late at night as possible. A time when there

is less frantic energy is most appropriate. You might consider

Midnight or later.

In choosing a place to do your magickal working pay particular

attention to your needs, for you must be comfortable. Your place

should be private, quiet and secure. If at all possible, set aside

a special place for this purpose only. An unused room, a special

Scorner of your bedroom, a quiet, secluded spot in your garden. A

place that is yours. A place that you can come to whenever need

arises and that is as free from intrusion of others as possible.

Prior to the night of your magickal working, gather together the

things that you will need. All of the things used are tools. They

have no inherent magick. They are to help you create a mood. If

correctly made and used, they will trigger primitive responses from

deep within you. They should be chosen with care.

Consider the purpose of your ritual and choose your tools

accordingly. If your magick is to be sexual, your candles, oils,

incenses and so forth, should bring forth a sexual response. If the

desired result of your Magick is Tranquillity, then the tools should

make you feel calm, peaceful and serene. Any candles you might use

should not have commercially added fragrances as these may not be

appropriate for your working.

Prior to your ritual, prepare yourself and your equipment by any

means necessary to clean and purify. Historically, people have

fasted, followed meticulous and detailed bathing practices,

practised chastity and used many other methods.

Most often a Ritual Bath is the preferred method. A bath frequently

utilising candlelight, fragrant herbs, bath salts or sensuous oils.

A sumptuous hot bath, special bathing preparations and appropriate

lighting, combined, can create the soothing effect which will help

in the very important step of relaxing and clearing the mind completely

of all mundane thoughts and experiences of the day. Your ritual

Bath should, also, begin to set the specific vibrations conducive to

your purpose into motion. You must not only cleanse and purify but

must, also, begin to create the type of energy necessary.

Once your purification process has been accomplished, you are now

ready to begin. Proceed to the special place you have previously

chosen in which to perform your magick. If at all possible, you

should make use of the primitive responses set into motion by a well

chosen piece of music. Your music should start slowly and build to

a rousing climax.

As you use your oils, light your candle or incense (or utilise any

other tool you have chosen), you should begin to further intensify

the energy that you have set into motion around you. A high degree

of intensity is vitally important.

The Altered State of Consciousness that you must reach is not a

meditative state. Anything that interferes with your ability to

concentrate upon, reach and control the high energy state necessary

to perform magick should be avoided. Such as, screaming children, a

sink full of dirty dishes, use of alcohol or drugs, etc.

Do not scatter your energy by attempting to do more than one

magickal working at a time.

Remember that Magick is the manipulation of energy, a thought is a

form of energy and a visualisation is an even stronger form of

energy. Your visualisation can be a method used to intensify

further and direct your will. Your visualisation can be the method

by which you control the magickal energy you have produced.

You must know what you want. You must see it. You must feel the

high energy flow. You must direct it.

One of the most important elements in the practice of any form of

Magick is the Universal Law of Cause and Effect. This means that

whatever you do (or don’t do) you cause something to happen.

The most important consideration is the Universal Law of

Retribution. This means that no matter what you do it comes back to

you in like kind.

It is the nature of things that as you send something out it gains

momentum, so that, by the time it comes back to you, it is three

times stronger. If you do something nice for someone, someone will

do something nicer for you.

It is important, also, that you choose your time carefully. You

should take into consideration all Astrological implications, energy

currents and Moon phases.

The Moon is the astronomical body closest to us and, therefore, has

a profound influence upon us, it is very important to choose a time

when the Moon is in an astrological sign which is appropriate for

your working. For example: Aries/Action – Enthusiasm, Taurus/

Renewal – Sensuality, Gemini/Communication – Curiosity, Cancer/

Emotion – Nurturing, Leo/Vitality – Determined, Virgo/Organizing –

Studious, Libra/Balance – Co-operation, Scorpio/Sexual –

Philosophical, Capricorn/Authority – Ambitious, Aquarius/Innovation

– Social, Pisces/Sensitivity – Idealistic.

Bear in mind that magickal workings for gain, increase or bringing

things to you, should be initiated when the Moon is Waxing (from

Dark to Full); when the Moon is Waning (from Full to Dark), it is

time for magickal workings of decrease or sending away.

The highest energy occurs at the Full Moon and, therefore, this is

the most powerful time for magickal workings. The New Moon is the

next most powerful time for Magick.

Whenever possible, follow Nature’s natural Energy Currents. There

is a natural time for starting things (a planting time), for

maturing things (a growing time), for reaping things ( a harvest

time) and, of course, a time for rest and planning.
