THE FOUR POWERS OF WITCHES are to know, to will, to dare & to be silent
. Knowing is knowledge of your craft & the inner awareness that something just IS, and is of the elementair
. Will is one’s outward intent plus the inner fortitude to see the thing through, and is of the element
. Daring is courage to use the Craft, the chutzpah to follow one’s inner guidance despite nay sayers, & is of
. Silence is not speaking of the deed plus a spiritual solitude to hear the inner voice, and is of
CAST a Folk Magic SIMPLE CIRCLE: sweep a circular space widdershins , Words : ”‘Round, around & ‘round about, all good in & all bad out.” Light some incense. Then walking deosil , load, aim and shoot power from the gut to cast the circle. Words: “As I walk the circle is cast, guarding all and holding fast.” Ref.D.Valiente
BASIC SPELLS: These 4 spells - candle, bottle, ladder, stone - use elements of respectively. They can be adapted to any needs with your intention. Magnetizing is setting your intent into the spell. Pull power on the breath to your belly, focus on only the results you want, and push from the gut outward through the hands to “cast the spell”.
INCANTATIONS are the spoken words that tell the energy what to do: state only the desired results. Rhyming helps the mind to focus.
CANDLES - Choose a candle for the desired burn time. White is all purpose.
. Dressing the candle: dab vege oil on the candle & hold it between your palms as you magnetize it. The oil seals your intention’s energy to the candle. Stand the cold candle in it’s holder.
. The spell: Light the 🕯candle and sit quietly while focussing on the flame for a minute or so until the flame is all you see. Think of the final results you want & KNOW this feeling in your gut like a hunch. KNOWING is a slightly altered state of mind & is a witch’s power. Speak the incantation thrice. Thank the Powers. Let the candle burn completely (it’s ok to snuff a flame and relight if needed). Discard stubs in the trash.
🕯LED CANDLE SPELL - Dorms don’t allow live flame so substitute a battery LED candle; the battery creates electricity which is the fire element, and the visual symbolism is obvious. Rather than anointing the candle for each spell you’d place an anointed and magnetized petition or sigil paper under the candle. Dab on oil (:-:) 5 spots represent the elements. Set the timer & when it times out your spell is done. Shred papers after the spell’s done to transform their words into action on the etheric plane. Reuse the LED again & again.
WITCH’S BOTTLE is a protection spell in which a small bottle or jar is filled with bent pins to deflect harmful intent, rusty nails to protect from psychic interference, a strand of protectee's hair as a tag lock, bits of tin foil confetti as mirrors to scatter ill-wishing, equal amounts of salt to protect & pepper to banish harm. Top it off with vinegar. Cap it or seal a cork stopper with wax. Recite your incantation to set your intention. Then bury or hide the bottle near your most used entrance. Retrieving & dismantling the bottle cancels the spell.
WITCH’S LADDER is a chain of knots tied in twine with twigs of oak, ash or thorn, small charms, feathers or Hag-stones tied into the knots. Tie 5 knots for manifesting a wish, 7 for good fortune, 13 for protection. To activate it, swing the completed chain like a pendulum & lock on a witchy gaze as you recite your incantation to set intention. Then hang it in a tree to allow Air to dismantle it over time & thus release the long term spell. The tree carries the spell to the cosmos in it's branches, throughout the mundane realm in it's trunk, & into the underworld via the roots. Leave a bread offering for the tree. Dropping the entire strand as-is into flowing water will cancel the spell.
STONE STROKING is used to induce light trance. Sit & sway side-to-side while stroking a water-smoothed stone & chant: ”Stone to stone, bone to bone, flesh to flesh, vein to vein, (name) is whole again.” You could be seated on a swing or rocking chair, or just swaying your body. When you fade out mentally you can stop. Rinse stones in flowing water to reset the stone before another use. Hag-stones with a clean hole can be used for protection, and banded stones for wishes.
BONUS:
A WORD SIGIL is a spell made up of the letters of your written intention. Write the goal on paper in a few present-tense words to claim it so it's not forever In the "want-to-be" but IS. Cross out the vowels (a,e,i,o,u) and duplicate letters so only one of each consonant remains like a tx msg (text message). Rearrange the remaining letters artfully in any way - upright, reversed, exaggerated - into a hieroglyph. Draw a circle around it (to contain the power) & cut the sigil out or transfer it to clean paper. Dab with oil (:-:) 5 spots for the elements. Recite your incantation to set the intent. Fire & Air are the active elements so burn-&-scatter or shred-&-scatter (into a waste basket) to transform it. Transforming is a key step with word sigils as our words must be transformed to manifest.
NINE-KNOT SPELL can use a piece of cotton twine, thread, yarn or ribbon about as long as your forearm, to be tied with 9 knots. Don't pull so tightly that you cannot untie the knots. Use colors if their associations appeal to you. Say one phrase of the charm while forming a knot-loop then blow a breath of power through the loop, or peer through the loop at the moon to capture it, just as you pull the knot loosely closed. Repeat the process in sequence for all 9 knots. You are setting intent as you work. The knots are to be untied to activate the spell.
By knot one the spell's begun - By knot two it comes true - By knot three so shall it be
By knot four the power is stored - By knot five the spell's alive - By knot six the goal is fixed
By knot seven it is given - By knot eight it is fate - By knot nine it is mine
The knots can be untied in the same session or at a later time that's favorable to the spell - Dawn for increasing, noon for fullest power, dusk for banishing. Dropping the knotted strand into flowing water will cancel it.
A knot spell is also a binding spell & as long as the knots remain tied the intent is held in place. To hold/bind permanently you would burn or burry the string without untying the knots. The knots cannot then ever be undone & are thus bound. Rephrase the last line to "by knot nine (name, thing or deed) is entwined & confined". Binding is often used to prevent harm from being done.
GOOD TIMES TO DO SPELLS -
Take advantage of Moon phase - A waxing (increasing) moon aids gain & increase. A full moon has the most energy for any task. A waning (decreasing) moon aids release, diminishing.
Work at a liminal hour of dawn, noon, dusk or midnight. These times are “between” one day and another, day or night. [i]Between[/i] adds power.
Take advantage of weekday/planetary forces. The Weekday tells when to start a spell for best outcome. Associations are shown here by weekday, planet, color & purpose:
Sunday (Sun) , leadership, health, advice
Monday (Moon) , marriage, family, psychic endeavors, divination
Tuesday (Mars) , conflict, legal matters
Wednesday (Mercury) -aqua, communication, knowledge, divination
Thursday (Jupiter) , finances, job, prosperity, protection
Friday (Venus) , love, allure, fertility
Saturday (Saturn) , endings, banishing, protection
