    Often times people ask me if I have spells. Yes, I have spells. Some

    have worked, some haven't. What a witch must keep in mind is that

    what works for me, may not work for another witch. Magick is withineverything. How it is perceived is different from witch to witch. Some

    think patchouli oil is the best oil for a prosperity spell. I prefer clove oil

    and have had success in using it. One of the wonders of magick is that

    there is normally a wide variety of correspondences to choose from for

    any one desired result. There must be about a hundred different herbs

    listed for love and at least thirty for wealth and money (a few of which

    I have listed). I prefer to perform candle magick. Candle spells are

    simple, they are not time consuming (very important to a witch with

    little time) and they work. When I do a candle spell, I carefully choosean appropriate color for the candle, a stone, an oil, and three herbs,

    one for the physical realm, one for the mental realm and one for the

    spiritual realm, plus one more as a type of catalyst (normally these

    catalysts are either Dragon's blood, Mandrake or Mistletoe). How do

    I pick my correspondences? First, I must know what I'm doing the

    spell for. Is it a prosperity spell, a healing spell, a spell to find a new

    job or maybe to improve communication with a loved one? Once I

    determine what I'm trying to accomplish, I hit the books. Within my

    library, I have several books that index what various colors, herbs, oilsand stones correspond with various desired results. I try to be as

    specific as I can and try to blend my choice of correspondences to

    better "describe" my desired result. If I'm going to perform a

    prosperity spell, what attributes are going to be needed to reach the

    final goal? Creativity, physical strength, courage? I try to chose some

    herb or the oil to correspond with those added aspects and keep in

    mind that most herbs and oils have several attributes. Its is very

    possible to have an herb with the attributes of both wealth and, say,

    strength. With one herb you can accomplish two ends. I leave the colorof the candle to the core of the spell. For a prosperity spell, green, a

    banishing spell, black. The same applies to the stone I use. I leave it to

    the core of the spell. Having said all that, now I must also add, use

    what you have! One of the first spells I did I literally raided my spice

    cabinet for the herbs I needed. Okay, so maybe fennel would not have

  • 8/9/2019 A Guide To K _1_

    2/24

    been my first choice, but it worked! I am fortunate to have an orange

    tree in my back yard. Yes, I use the leaves, blossoms, fruit, and bark in

    place of other possibly more popular herbs. Use what you have! Once

    I've gathered my correspondences, I then charge them with the

    purpose of the spell. How is this done? There are a few techniques thatmust be utilized for this part of spellworking. Ability to Meditate This

    is the art of clearing the mind of all mundane thoughts and feelings. It

    is a state of relaxation and peace, the goal to reach a state of non-

    thought. This is not easy and I still haven't mastered the technique yet,

    but do the best you can. There are several very good books on the

    subject and even in many of the books on Wicca and witchcraft there

    are simple techniques to help in mastering meditation. This is essential

    to spellwork. Your mind must be at peace so that you can focus on

    what you're trying to accomplish. Ability to Visualize This is theability to see with your mind, not with your senses. Although it is called

    visualization, remember, use all your senses! Close your eyes. Within

    your mind's eye, see a tree, whatever kind of tree you want or are

    familiar with. Let your mindsee its limbs, its leaves or needles

    (depending on the type of tree), the trunk, etc. Let your mindfeelthe

    bark. Is it smooth, rough, spongy? Does the tree have a fragrance?

    Let your mindsmellthat fragrance. Let your mindhear the wind as it

    rustles the leaves. Visualization is not easy for some, but with practice

    you can visualize anything. (Taste also falls into this category, but for

    our little discussion, tasting a tree may not be prudent.) During

    spellwork you will visualize your goal (and be specific and detailed!)

    before directing it into the item you're charging. Ability to Direct

    Energy This is the ability to take the energies of the correspondences

    and your own energy and directing it towards your goal. When you

    charge an object, that energy is initially coming from you. From within

    yourself imagine (visualize) a bright light, maybe white or the color

    that corresponds with your goal, forming within yourself centered

    between your chest and stomach. Let that light grow and expand. Then

    direct that light up through your body, down your projective arm, out

    your fingertips (or through your athame or wand) and into whatever

    your trying to charge. While you direct that light, that energy, you will

    be visualizing your intent with as many specifics as you can. It is

    important to realize that magick is energy flow. It is not power. All

    spells create a tangible connection between the objects used and

    yourself. When you work magick, be specific, but be careful! If you do

    a spell for a new job, remember to be specific in that your new job

    doesn't come at the expense of another! "An Ye Harm None"

    Remember these words when you work magick. As you finish yourspell, (for me after I light the candle), I add something to the affect of

    "May the energy of this magick harm none and take a path that is for

    the good of all involved." For candle spells remember that the flame

    must be allowed to continue to burn until it goes out on its own. I use

    three and seven day candles that are in glass jars. You can sprinkle

    your herbs on the top of them and they are safer. Remember not to

    leave a burning candle near drapes or where something flammable

    may fall into the flame. Keep in mind that the glass jars get hot, so

    handle with care and as the candle reaches the bottom of the jar, makesure the candle is not sitting on something that might burn from the

    heat. I suggest getting a ceramic dish and put some sand in the bottom

    to act as insulation. When I leave my home, I place the candle in my

    bath tub, just in case. If for some reason it gets knocked over, there is

    nothing in my tub that could catch on fire. For positive spells, once the

    candle is out, use the stone as a talisman. Carry it with you or put it

    someplace where its presence will have an affect. For banishing spells,

    very carefully remove all remnants, of the candle, especially the stone,

    without touching it. Wrap the remnants in white paper and bury itoutside, preferably some distance away. Remember to write down

    your spells! You can either keep these spells in your Book of Shadows

    or elsewhere. My Book of Shadows is riddled with pieces of paper,

    napkins, whatever I happen to jot notes and spells down on. Some

    choose to use their computers as their BoS. Regardless, with the spells

    written down, can keep track of what works and what doesn't and you

    can also keep track of what you are doing while you're doing it. A few

    words about magick and ethics. Most magick, at least initially, is done

    for yourself. There will be times when spellwork will be used to benefit

    other people. Any ethical witch WILL NOT do a spell that will affect

    someone else specifically without that person's permission. A witch

    must respect another person's soul path. What if you can't ask them

    (i.e. you can't reach them, the person is unable to communicate, etc)?

    Then you must honestly consider if that person would object. If your

  • 8/9/2019 A Guide To K _1_

    4/24

    favorite aunt were deathly ill and could not communicate, and you

    wanted to do a healing spell for her, you would need to consider if she

    would agree to the spell if she could. If she were a devout

    Fundamentalist Christian, chances are pretty good she'd say no. You

    must respect her choices and her soul path. No witch in their rightmind will perform magick that is intended to manipulate, control or

    harm another. Remember, what you send out will come back to you

    threefold. A witch should never sell a spell. If someone asks you to do

    a spell for them, it is not unreasonable to ask them to cover the

    expenses of the materials used, but other then that, no money should

    be received for the magick you do. That is counter productive and can

    cloud the intent of the magick. When someone asks you to do a spell

    for them, if possible, instead of you doing the spell, teach them how to

    do it. The spell will have a better chance at success and they will havea better understanding of how the magick works.

    Colors. We perceive them as bright or dark, deep or light, sort-of this

    and sort-of that, but regardless of whether it's a royal blue or an earth

    brown, color affects us. It has been proven that colors have an affect

    on our brains and they do produce different emotional results. What

    do you think of when you see red? Passion? Maybe Anger?

    Regardless, the response is dramatic. Colors as used in magick are

    similar in that they should evoke a response from you, but keep inmind, your response to say purple, may be different than mine and this

    is perfectly okay. If you see pink as healthy or health, so be it. The

    colors must have meaning to the person using them. The magick of

    colors can be used in many different ways, just let your creativity show

    you the way. The use of colors in magick is only limited to what you

    want to use the colors for. Candle Magick, Mojo bags, pottets, robes,

    and alter and tool decorations all benefit from the use of colors. How

    will you use them?

    Here is a list of colors with some of their more common attributes.

    HERBS

    They can be found anywhere. From backyard plants and frontyard

    trees, to even our grocer's produce section and spice selections. Herbs

    are probably the most accessable of the correspondences used in

    magick, although some of the various varieities may take a little

    searching in order to obtain them. I am blessed with a family that lives

    in an area that is covered with a wonderful variety of trees and plants

    and I frequently aquire some of my herbal correspondences from

    there. Find books with listings of the local flora for your region and

    you might be surprised as to what is available in your neighborhood.

    Also, there are many wonderful books available that have extensive

    lists and more information on how to use herbs in magick andeveryday life. One such bood is Scott Cunningham'sEncyclopedia of

    Magical Herbs published by Llewellyn Press.**Warning!!**Some of these herbs are poisonous and should be treat with

    considerable respect and by all means, they should NOT be ingested!

    Before working with any herb, make sure you know what you're

    working with! Be sure to keep all your herbs out of the reach of

    children and pets.

    "Contrary to what you may have heard,magic is a

    natural process."--Scott CunninghamCrystals, stones and metals have been used by humans for tens ofthousands of years. They are used to make our homes and have been

    made into weapons or used to sharpen them. They also have been used

    as tools of magick and religious ritual and as talismans and offerings

    to the Gods. We may not notice them, but they are everywhere in our

    lives. It is not uncommon to find the even the most skeptical non-

  • 8/9/2019 A Guide To K _1_

    11/24

    believer wearing a birthstone ring, the stone considered lucky for a

    person born during that month. Today, the natural energies of stones

    and crystals are being rediscovered by a whole new generation. As

    tools of magick, stones lend us their energies and provide us with

    places to store our own energies. They are like natural batteries,storing within them the energies of the Earth. They come in a rainbow

    of colors from ice clear to solid, glossy black and come in a variety of

    shapes, sizes, and textures. They are a direct connection to the Earth

    that provides us with all we need for existence. They are found within

    the Earth, a true gift of the Goddess and God. Stones are used as

    talismans to protect from the unknown and are returned to the Earth

    to insure the fertility of the fields and the success of the crops. Stone

    magick covers all aspects of life: health, love, prosperity, spirituality,

    wisdom, just to name a few. In conjunction with candle magick,stones add their energies and concentrate the purpose within

    themselves. Because of this, the stone used for a positive spell is

    retrieved and used as a talisman. For a negative or banishing spell, the

    stone is never touch and carefully returned to the earth far from your

    home. Before a stone is used in a spell, the stone should be charged

    with the purpose of the spell. This is done by holding the stone in your

    projective (right) hand and letting the energy that is within you pour

    into the stone while visualizing the purpose. Some say the best stones

    are the ones you gather yourself. For most of us, this is not veryrealistic, but if you can, try to find stones in stream beds or lake

    bottoms, maybe from a wooded path or even in your own back yard.

    Remember, when you do gather stones, ask the Earth first and then

    thank it for its sacrifice. Some witches perform a small ritual before

    they go on stone gather expeditions, making offerings to the Earth and

    praying for a good hunt. Keep in mind that the stones you buy from

    whatever source (I found a wonderful selection at a Books-A-Million

    not too long ago), the stones need to be cleansed of any negativity or

    lingering psychic clutter. You have no idea how many people have

    handled the stones before you or how they were claimed from the

    Earth, but you can probably guess that the Earth was not asked or

    thanked for its sacrifice. The stones can be cleansed using several

    methods. Set the stone in direct sunlight, preferable outside, and let the

    Sun's energies do the work. The stone should stay outside for

  • 8/9/2019 A Guide To K _1_

    12/24

    anywhere from one day to a week, depending on how much other

    energy the stone's absorbed. The stone should be brought in every

    evening at dusk. Check the stone by placing it in your receptive hand

    (left). Does the stones natural energy vibrations feel normal? Once

    they do, the cleansing is finished. If you happen to live near a streamor river or maybe on the ocean, you can use the running water to

    cleanse the stones as well. This is done by placing the stones in a mesh

    bag, tying them off somehow so as to not loose them and let the

    running water cleanse them overnight. If one night is not enough, leave

    it for another. The Earth can also be used, although this method is

    much more time consuming. Take the stones and bury them in the

    earth. Remember to mark where the stones are buried! Leave them

    there for a week or two. Check them to see if they are cleansed. If not,

    rebury them and wait another week. If none of these methods arepossible, a small ritual can be performed using a bowl of fresh earth

    (North), a small basin of water (West), incense (East) and a red candle

    (South). Pass the stone through each of these elements while asking

    the element to aid in cleansing the stone of all negativity and unwanted

    energies. Follow the links below to charts containing information

    about some of the various stones and crystals and their attributes.

    EnergyThere are two basic energies that stones possess. They are eitherprojective, orreceptive. Projective stones tend to be strong, bright, forceful. Receptive stones are

    calm, inward, peaceful. Follow the chart below to learn more about these unique

    energies and the stones that fall into each category.

    OILS AND ESSENCES

    Like the herbs and stones used in magick, oils and essences play an

    important role in a witch's magickal life. We use oils in candle spells,

    in potppouri, we rub them on talismans and stones, we place them in

    baths, and on ourselves to boost magickal intent. Remember that oilsneed to be used in conjunction with visualization. Essences can be

    incense, musks and tinctures. The most common essence is incense

    which can be bought in almost any large retail store (Walmart even

    has a small selection of incense and incense burners) or through

    metaphysical stores and Craft supply stores (one of the best supplies of

    incense I've seen was at a flea market). The Complete Book of Incense,

    Oils & Brews by Scott Cunningham is a wonderful book that not only

    lists how these essential magickal correspondences can aid your

    magick, but also has recipes for how to make your own. On to thetables.

    The following book is not for the faint of heart, but I feel it is none the

    less an important part of a witch's education.The Malleus Maleficarum

    (The Witch Hammer) by Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger was

    originally printed in or about 1486. It was by this horrid book that

    witch hunters took their cues and massacred hundreds of thousands of

    "witches" in the name of Christianity. It is now known that of those

    thousands (some say millions) a very small percentage were what we

    today would consider witches. Most were women, most were innocent

    of the crimes for which they died. It has been reprinted several times

    over the centuries. This book is not for everyone, but it is an important

    source of information about what we have overcome.
