Because of the very nature of magick, each working should be highly individualised and personal. Even following traditional spells, it should be talored to you'r own specific needs to be most efficiant for you.
Understanding the basics of spell construction will enable you to formulate you'r own spells for any purpose you desire. Preliminary planning is necessary. The very first step is to decide precisely what you'r desired end result is to be.
Before you can start you must decide where it is that you'r going. You must be very explicit.
It is very important also that you choose you'r 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 a astrological sign which is important to you'r working. For Example :
ARIES; Action - Enthusiasm.
TAURUS; Renewal - Sensuality
GEMINI; Communication - Curiosty
CANCER; Emotions - Nurturing
LEO; Vitality - Determination
VIRGO; Organisation - studious
LIBRA; Balance - CO-operation
SCORPIO; Sexual - Philosophical
SAGGITARIUS; - Stable - spiritual
CAPRICORN; Authority - Ambitious
AQUARIUS; - Innovation - Social
PISCES; Sensitivity - Idealistic.
CAPRICORN - DEC22 - JAN18
AQUARIUS - JAN19 - FEB20
PISCES - FEB21 - MAR20
ARIES - MAR21 - APR20
TAURUS - APR21 - MAY21
GEMINI - MAY22 - JUN21
CANCER - JUN22 - JUL23
LEO - JUL24 - AUG23
VIRGO - AUG24 - SEPT23
LIBRA - SEPT24 - OCT23
SCORPIO - OCT24 - NOV22
SAGGITARIUS - NOV23 - DEC21
Bare in mind that Magickal workings for gain; increasing 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 working of decrease or sending things away from you - eg - Banishing Spells.
The highest energy occurs at the full moon and therefore this isTHE most powerful time fore Magickal workings to be performed. The new moon is the next most powerful time for magick.
Whenever possible, follow Natures natural energy currents. There is a natural time for starting things (a planting time) a time for maturing things (a growing time) and a time for reaping thing (a Harvesting Time) and, of course a time for rest and planning.
Following these currents will make your magickal working much easier. Remember to plan you'r project for a time of privacy and uninterrupted silence. 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 workings, pay particular attention to you'r needs, for you must be completely comfortable. You'r place must be private, quiet and secure. If at all possible, set aside a place especially for this purpose only. An un-used room, a special corner of you'r bedroom, a quiet secluded spot in you'r garden. A place that is yours. A place that you can come to whenever the need arises and that is as free from intrusion from others as possible.
Prior to the night of you'r magickal working, gather together the things that you will need. ALl of the things used are tools. They help to create a mood. If correctly made and used, they will trigger primitive responces from deep within you. They should be chosen with great care. COnsider the purpose of you'r ritual and chose you'r tools accordingly. If you'r magick is to be sexual, you'r candle, incense and soforth should bring about a sexual responce. If the desired result of you'r magick is tranquility, then you'r 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 to you'r workings.
Prior to you'r ritual, prepare you'rself and you'r 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 most preferred method. A bath frequently utilising candlelight, fragrant herbs, bath salts or sensuous oils. A sumptious hot bath, special bathing preparations and appropiate lighting, combined can creat the soothing effect which will help in the very improtant step of relaxing and clearing the mind of all mundane thoughts and experiences of the day. You'r ritual bath should also being to set the specific vibrations conductive purpose into motion. You must not only cleanse and purify, but must also begin to create the type of energy necessary. Once you'r purification process has been accomplished, you are now ready to begin.
Proceed to the special place you have previously chosen in which to perform you'r magick. If at all possible, you should make use of the primitive responces set into motions by playing a well chosen piece of music. You'r music should start slowly and build to a rousing climax.
As you use you'r oils, light you'r candle ot incense (and utilise any other tool you have chosen) You should begin to further intensify the energy 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 you'r ability to concentrate upon, reach and control the hight energy state necessary to perform magick should be avoided - such as screaming children, a sink full of dirty dishes, use of alcohole/drugs etc.
Do not attempt to Scatter you'r energy by attempting to do more than one magick working at a time.
Remember that magick is the manipulation of energy, a thought is a form of energy and a visualisations is an even stronger form of energy. You'r visualisation can be a method used to even stronger intensify you'r will. You'r visualisation can be the method by which you control the magickal energy which you have produced. YOu must know what you want. You must see what you want, you must feel the hight 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 Law of Retribution. This means that no matter what you do, it will come back to you in the like kind.
It is the nature of things that if you send something out, it gains momentum, so that by the time it comes back to you, it is 3x's as strong. If you do something nice, someone will do something nicer for you, and if you do somehing horrible to someone, you will get something worse back,
