How to Make Your Own Spells

When it comes to the Craft and its community, many witchlings (beginner witches) ask for more advanced witches to hand over spells left and right without question. Now, this may be done with good intentions. Many witchlings do not know how to acquire spells, as many of them are kept secret.

This is done for a reason. Many witches, including myself, believe that spells and rituals are strongest when created themselves. I am going to be the kind High Priestess and instead of giving you a fish, and you feeding you for a day. I am going to teach you to fish, and feed you for a lifetime. In other words, I am going to teach you how to make your very own spells and rituals!

Keep in mind to write this all down before casting your spell and performing your ritual in your Book of Shadows, or in an old notebook (whatever you have).

1. Ask yourself these questions

What is the purpose of this spell? -- You need to ask yourself what you are wanting to achieve by performing this spell. Is it for love, fertility, finances, health, or beauty? Think about what you want your spell to do and write it down. A single sentence will do.

2. Timing

Make sure the timing is right! Sometimes a spell is better cast during the full moon, new moon, or even the waning or waxing moon! Sometimes it may be best to do it on a certain Sabbat or season. Some witches go so in-depth that they track the planetary locations and time of day and week to perform their spells.

3. Choosing your tools

With many types of spells come many types of tools. You will need all the tools for a basic altar before getting tools specific for your spell.

First, you will need to think of a specific crystal/stone that will suit the purposes of the ritual.

Next, you will need to think of a type of herb or incense (or both) that will work with your ritual.

Third, you will need a candle (or a few) for the ritual. If you did not know, different color candles have different meanings. For example, red means lust, anger, and passion; blue means sadness, compassion, and emotion. You can carve a Sygil in the candle as well for added effect.

4. Open the Circle

If you do not know what a circle is, it is a magical barrier cast by you that protects you from any harmful, negative, or annoying energies that could 'mess up' your ritual.

Not all witches do this, but it might be wise to do so. This is especially crucial if you are a beginner, or if you are performing a very serious ritual.

To open the circle:

You can have salt, crushed eggshells, or simply a string or pillows to mark the edges of the circle.

Use a compass to see where each direction is. Mark each direction with a label if you have a hard time remembering which direction is which.

Have everything you need in your circle before casting it.

Go to your altar and invite the Elements and (if you are pagan) the God and Goddess. You can word this however you like.

Cast the circle by using your wand or finger and 'trace' the edges of the circle. Always go clockwise. Go around three times while announcing the circle being cast three times (you can use any wording).

5. Perform the Esabbat and Sabbat

If it is a new, or full moon, you might want to perform an Esabbat before starting to cast your spell. If it is during a Sabbat, perform the Sabbat ritual too. I mention this because most witches take advantage of casting certain spells during these magical times to amplify their magic.

6. Perform the ritual

Start the ritual by stating the purpose of the ritual. What is this ritual even for? Announce this to the Universe so it can hear. It can be as long or as short as you want.

Next, light the incense/herb. State something like you are ready to pass your intentions into the universe through this herb/insentience and its properties.

Third, light the candle. State something like you are sending your intentions to the universe through this light and its color/elemental correspondences.

Lastly, meditate with the stone. Imagine the spell working and see yourself and others benefiting from the effects of this spell.

7. Cakes and ale (only if you are Pagan)

Have food with you (does not have to be cakes and ale) to eat. Leave a portion for the God and Goddess. Recite a prayer about how thankful you are for the Gods and the Elements. Leave a bit afterwards for an offering to the Gods.

Have a feast, listen to music, watch videos, and relax for a bit.

8. Close the Circle

This is pretty much the reverse of opening the circle:

Go to your altar and say goodbye to the Elements and (if you are pagan) the God and Goddess. You can word this however you like.

Cast the circle by using your wand or finger and 'trace' the edges of the circle. Always go counter-clockwise. Go around three times while announcing the circle being dismissed three times (you can use any wording).

Sweep up the salt or eggshells (if you put any down) counter-clockwise.

Clean up.

Many of us Witches need to let our creative juices flow regularly & express our most artistic sides in order to be fully in touch with ourselves & our magic. Many witches have turned their artsy ways into a form of witchcraft in its own. For many, Art becomes one of the best mediums to express + manifest their dreams, needs & desires. 🌙🎨🎤✂📝✨🔮
