Book Of Shadows

If you came here expecting spells, already crafted just for you, you'll be disappointed. What you will find here are examples of spells, Rituals, invocations, dedications, Sabbat information, etc. The reason for this is simple. The spells I do are mine. I create them with my special energy and life force directing them. I speak to the godess in my own way. Each spell is a part of me, and they are designed for my life. To give them to you would be wrong and the chances are that they may not work for you anyway. You may find a few "generic" spells here, but you will not find any that I have written for myself. If you have a true need to work magic, you should be able to create your own spell. If you cannot, I am willing to help, but my words and motions may not be right for you. Still, if you are in need and you cannot find any help, email me and I will try to help.

So, if you are looking for a specific ritual, you might want to try THE CRAFT for specific practices. I have included some basic spells here but know that you need to taylor them to fit your specific need.

    There are four things, however, that are absolutely necessary and essential to working successful magick: a genuine need; a deep, emotional desire; the knowledge to work the spell; and the ability to visualize your magickal goal and result. If these four conditions are present, you have everything you need to successfully perform magick. If any of these are lacking, you probably will not be able to accomplish your magickal goals.

    To work any act of magick, you must also charge or empower the objects that you will use in your spell or ritual. Your magickal tools should already be charged, but you will need to attune with and empower any herbs, stones, or other objects that you intend to use in your magick. This is done by holding the object in your power hand (the hand you write with) and feeling your energy and your need flow into the object. Oftentimes it is tempting to cut to the chase and begin working the actual spell without taking the time necessary to properly empower your magickal objects. This is a big mistake! It is this investment of your personal energy which makes the spell work...while it is true that magick takes place in the mind where your thoughts act upon the astral plane to form things which will manifest, most Witches use herbs, stones, etc. which are known to share an affinity for the desired goal. The magick is not in the objects themselves, they merely act as a catalyst which helps you focus, direct, and receive energy.


    LUNAR MAGICK

    The Moon is a symbol of Nature's cycle of birth, life, and rebirth. It represents the feminine principle, which is personified by the Triple Goddess (Maiden/Mother/Crone). It is important to consider the appropriate lunar phases (Waxing, Waning, or Full Moon) when planning your magick. It is also extremely useful to align your spellwork to coincide with the appropriate astrological influences, to further aid your magickal goals. For example, spells and rituals involving the element of earth should be performed during a time when the Moon is positioned in one of the three astrological earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, spells involving the element of fire during Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius, spells involving the element of air during Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius, and spells involving the element of Water during Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces.

    Below are listed astrological signs and their correspondences to magickal applications:

    MOON IN ARIES is the best time to work magick involving leadership, authority, rebirth, spiritual conversion, or willpower. Healing rituals for ailments of the face, head, or brain are also done during this period of time.

    MOON IN TAURUS is the best time to work magick for love, real estate, material acquisitions, and money. Healing rituals for ailments of the throat, neck, and ears are also done during this period of time.

    MOON IN GEMINI is the best time to work magick for good communication, change of residence, writing, public relations, and travel. Healing rituals for ailments of the shoulders, arms, hands, or lungs are also done during this period of time.

    MOON IN CANCER is the best time to work magick for home and domestic life. Healing rituals for ailments of the chest or stomach are also done during this period of time.

    MOON IN LEO is the best time to work magick involving authority, power over others, courage, fertility, or childbirth. Healing rituals for ailments of the upper back, spine, or heart are also done during this period of time.

    MOON IN VIRGO is the best time to work magick involving employment, intellectual matters, health, and dietary concerns. Healing rituals for ailments of the intestines or nervous system are also done during this period of time.

    MOON IN LIBRA is the best time to work magick involving artistic work, justice, court cases, partnerships and unions, mental stimulation, and karmic, spiritual, or emotional balance. Healing rituals for ailments of the lower back or kidneys are also done during this period of time.

    MOON IN SCORPIO is the best time to work magick involving sexual matters, power, psychic growth, secrets, and fundamental transformations. Healing rituals for ailments of the reproductive organs are also done during this period of time.

    MOON IN SAGITTARIUS is the best time to work magick for publications, legal matters, travel, and truth. Healing rituals for ailments of the liver, thighs, or hips are also done at this time.

    MOON IN CAPRICORN is the best time to work magick for organization, ambition, recognition, career, and political matters. Healing rituals for the knees, bones, teeth, and skin are also done at this time.

    MOON IN AQUARIUS is the best time to work magick involving science, freedom, creative expression, problem-solving, extrasensory abilities, friendship, and the breaking of bad habits or unhealthy addictions. Healing rituals for ailments of the calves, ankles, or blood are also done at this time.

    MOON IN PISCES is the best time to work magick involving dreamwork, clairvoyance, telepathy, music, and the creative arts. Healing rituals for ailments of the feet or lymph glands are also done at this time.


     

    PLANETARY CORRESPONDENCES

    Another consideration of effective spell-crafting are the days of the week and their planetary correspondences. Each day of the week has an energy, or personality, which corresponds to a specific planet. If you learn the traits of the planet, you will then understand the energy pertaining to that particular day of the week. The following chart will provide you with some basic information on days of the week and planetary correspondences:

    MONDAY - Ruled by The Moon - Rules emotions, protection, healing, and women's mysteries - Use for magicks involving the subconscious, healing, emotions, love, spirituality, healing wounds, children, small animals, women's mysteries, the female side of men, mothers, sisters, female partners, wives, instincts - Energy: Female

    THE ELEMENTS

    The four basic elements: Earth, Air, Fire, & Water are considered in metaphysics as the four basic components that make up life itself.

    FRAGRANCE ASSOCIATIONS

    It is important to carefully align your magickal acts. Once your magick is set in motion, it will achieve your magickal goal. This process has been called the domino effect, as each act represents one domino leading to your ultimate desire. As important as selecting the proper Day of the Week, Astrological Correspondence, etc. is the proper use of fragrance. Fragrance affects the central nervous system and the auric field. It can either raise or lower bodily vibrations, either elevating your mood or depressing it. Below is a list of commonly used fragrances and their planetary rulers:

    Coconut

    Eucalyptus
    Gardenia
    Jasmine
    Lotus

    COLOR CORRESPONDENCES

    Yet another "domino" to align is color. It has long been known that color radiations have a tremendous influence upon our health, thoughts, and actions. It is therefore important to use the appropriate color of candles, gemstones, etc. to further add power to your magick. The following chart will give you a list of appropriate colors to use for each day of the week. Please note that my list may differ from others you have seen or read. Color use is basically an instinctual and personal choice, and you will find that the more you work magick, the more you will begin to rely on your own color choices for your workings. In the meantime, please feel free to use the following chart as a guide:

    MONDAY
    White
    Silvers
    Pearls
    Creams
    Grays

    The Elements of Spell Construction

    1. Clearly understand and define your magickal need. It helps to write it out on paper.

    2. Gather together all the items you will need for your spell, such as candles, herbs, gemstones, athame, cup, etc. and empower these items.

    3. Decide on your words of power, and create an appropriate chant if so desired. It is helpful to memorize these, so as not to interrupt the flow of energy while trying to remember what you are going to say next.

    4. If you will be invoking a particular Diety, decide on who and write out and memorize any special prayers and invocations that you will use.

    5. Plan how you will visualize your goal...this is very important!

    6. Decide when and where you will work your spell.

    7. At the appropriate time, gather what you will use and go to the place where you will perform the spell.

    8. Cast your circle, or create your Sacred Space.

    9. Invite whatever elementals, faeries, spirits, or Dieties you wish to have present as you work.

    10. Clear your mind and begin visualizing your goal.

    11. Raise energy within yourself and pour it into your magickal objects.

    12. Use your words of power, light your candles, charge your stones, dance or sing. Do whatever you have decided to do to focus your attention and raise energy.

    13. When you feel that you have put as much energy into your spell as you possibly can, send the energy out to do your will. Relax, throw up your arms, raise a tool, kneel, or do whatever else makes you feel the energy being sent.

    14. Finish your spell with words such as "So Mote It Be". It is a statement of completion and an affirmation that you know your magick is successful.

    15. When you are ready, close your circle and thank the elementals, faeries, Dieties, etc. who have been with you to help.

    16. Ground your energy -- see it dissipate and return to the earth.

    17. Record the ritual in your Book of Shadows.
