How is WitchCraft preformed?

Answer 1

The Craft is an entire life style, not just something those of us who practice do "on occasion" or at need. That explained... I will lay out a basic idea below of what I go through in order to create and perform a spell or ritual.

1) decide on your need.

2) be sure that a magical solution is the best coarse.

3) do your research

- figure out what house and phase the moon should be in

- decide what herbs, stones, colours, incense, and other ingredients you will need

- choose the deities you will ask for help.

- write your ritual (do not just pull things together - your written spell will make certain you know exactly what you are doing and will be able to re-do it or un-do it as you may in future).- gather your ingredients and get yourself prepared

4) meditate on your need/purpose one more time, to be sure you are about to do something for the "right" reasons.

5) when the moon is in the correct phase and house and you have all of your ingredients proceed according to your written spell/ritual (don't vary from it -see above why).

- cleanse yourself

- cleanse your sacred space

- light your incense

- create your sacred circle

- call the element (light candle if using)

- invite the deities ( never, ever call or demand their presence) (light the candles if you are using them)

- perform the ritual/spell as you have written it and raise and release your cone of power

- celebrate the small feast

- acknowledge the presence of your deities and be grateful for their help (do not dismiss them)

- thank and dismiss the elements (put out the candles, if you used them)

- ground the energies and release the sacred circle.

6) final and most important - ACT IN ACCORDANCE go out and do what you need to do to make this come about, expect it to happen (if your need/purpose was sound and reasonable it will)

This is just one of the ways we work, there are thousands of others.
