BASIC SPELL CONSTRUCTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because of the very nature of Magick, each working should be highly
|
|
individualized 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.
|
|
|
|
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 - Cooperation, 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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
corner 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,
|
|
practiced chastity and used many other methods.
|
|
|
|
Most often a Ritual Bath is the preferred method. A bath frequently
|
|
utilizing 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 utilize 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 visualization is an even stronger form of
|
|
energy. Your visualization can be a method used to intensify
|
|
further and direct your will. Your visualization 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.
