Witchy Thing Weekly 2 - Spells & Magick!

Welcome to Witchy Thing Weekly, in week two; we will be talking about Spells and Magick!

A spell is basically using different tools, objects, movement, rituals to help focus your energy towards a specific attention and to build that energy up, until you have enough to let it go towards your goal or your intention. 

Not everyone can use tools, most people just sit quietly and put their intentions out their and that's their spell. And there are those people who have to do the full on circle and ritual at their altars to perform the magick.

You don't have to have a specific way to perform magick, basically, do what feels right to you. Just because a book tells you to cast a magick circle or use certain tools, you don't have to follow it to a certain degree. Because the whole principle behind a spell, you are getting together these different kinds of tools to help you focus on your intentions on your goal.

The other way too look at spells is to compare spells to prayers. When you go to church, what do you see? You see: Candles, incense, the priest who is all dressed up, paintings, statues everywhere, everybody is quiet when they pray and put their head down to send their prayers out their, after they are down; they sing their hymes. Isn't that exactly what we do? We have: Candles, incense, dress in your witchy outfit, chant and statues. Its very similar to a Christian prayer. Its basically the same thing that everybody else is doing but we just call it some thing different. (I tried telling this to my Father and he wouldn't listen to me, him kept on insisting that its devil worshiping).

Spells - You can use basically anything that helps you focus; such as: Crystals, Athame, Cauldron, Herbs, Feathers, Candles, Leaves, Tree, Snow, etc... Use whatever you want that feels right to you. You Spellbooks as a guide line, don't follow them to a tee. You can always substitute ingredients in spells that you don't have to make the spell perfect for you. If the chant in the spell doesn't rhythm or seem right to you, change it to your own accord. Add your own Spell/Chant. The spells in the Spellbooks, just use them as guide lines; you don't have to follow them to a tee, you don't know where the spells came from and just because it worked for that person doesn't necessarily mean its going to work for you.

The main thing to remember is when you are doing spells/magick is that you ARE the one who is performing the magick and the energy is coming from you. Just as long as you have some thing to focus your intention on it doesn't matter.
