Creating a Spell is not as easy as it seems. Unlike TV shows, you can't just throw random stuff together and come up with a perfect solution. You need to take your time and think things through. There's a lot of preparation involved and you need to have an understanding of what you're doing.
The most important thing to do in Spell Creation is research!! Here's a list of things to check and double check again:
- Ingredients. You will need to research every ingredient you intend to use. You will need to know:
. If it's compatible with your other ingredients
. If it's safe or not safe to ingest in any form
. If it's safe to apply to the skin
. If it's safe to apply to items (e.g doorframes, any metals)
. Its availability
. Price
. If the ingredients are safe to use around animals
. Where your supplies are coming from
. How much you're going to need
. Ethics
. The meaning of your ingredients
. Other names of your ingredients
. How to prepare them
. What tools/items are needed
- Intention. When you cast a Spell you are creating, changing and using energies. You need to understand these energies and how they're influencing the Spell. Remember the Rule of 3 - what you send out will return back threefold! Once you've decided the purpose of your Spell and what you want to do ask yourself the following:
1. What is the intention of your Spell?
2. Is there a balance between your physical and spiritual state?
3. Have you correctly fuelled your body today; is it satisfied?
4. Have you thought about the Spell and are you sure you want to do it?
5. Does the spell involve other people, are you influencing them?
6. If you're casting for someone else, do they know and understand what you're doing and have they consented?
7. Are you grounded properly and in a positive state of mind?
If you cannot answer the questions truthfully or answer No to any question other than number 5, then you need to rethink your Spell or set it aside. If you say Yes to number 5, I suggest you abandon the Spell altogether.
- Time. The time and date on which you choose to cast your Spell could effect the power of your Spell. Different days and events bring different energies, for example: Sabbats. Is your Spell for a specific Sabbat or a specific time of the year? Do you think your Spell would gain more power from the Sun or the Moon? And if you choose the Moon, what phase would be best?
. New Moon for - wishes, love, projects, new beginnings
. Waxing Moon for - luck, strengthening Spells already cast/begun
. Full Moon for - healing, charging/cleansing
. Waning Moon for - removing/lessening negativity
Is there a specific day that your Spell would work better on?
. Monday for - emotions, dreams, creativity
. Tuesday for - courage, confidence, protection, energy
. Wednesday for - information (recieving/retaining), communication in all forms
. Thursday for - luck, success, wealth
. Friday for - friends/friendship, love/romance
. Saturday for - patients, tests/interviews, work
. Sunday for - ambition, success, truth
When in doubt, just got with your instincts. You don't have to adhere to specific times/dates, if it feels right, go for it!!
- Place. Do you have a specific place where you practice? If so, this might be the best place for you to cast your Spell but if you require Sunlight or Moonlight, you may have to move around. You can cast your Spell inside or outside, weather depending of course!!
- Steps. How many steps does your Spell have? It's best to keep it simple since the more steps you have, there's more that could go wrong! I'd suggest keeping it under 10 for now. It's also important to write everything down! Thus is crucial, especially if you want to do the Spell again if it works. By writing everything down, you should be able to recreate the Spell with more or less the same outcome.
- Incantation. First and foremost, the purpose of an incantation is to humbly ask the unseen forces for assistance in your Spell. The next is setting your intentions but don't worry if you don't have a way with words, you can purchase a dictionary or use online tools to help. It's also best if the Incantation rhymes. This helps with the flow of energies in your Spell. You must remember to respect the forces that you call apon and give thanks in a way that befits the ones you have borrowed power from.
If you have Spell books or come across downloadable content that the creator has given permission to be used, you can take bits from different Spells to make your own or go with what the book tells you.
Remember to take your time to refine your Spell and your craft and don't worry if your Spell doesn't work, just keep trying!!
