“To have enough curiosity to start to question your deepest identity is absolutely vital and essential to spiritual awakening, and to the realisation of peace and freedom.”
What Is The Point Of This Spell?: First, figure out what sort of spell you want to do. What is its purpose? What kind of spell is it? A glamour, for example. Might be the sort of spell you decide on. It may seem obvious, but remember to write this stuff down! I usually write these questions down and keep the whole spell making process recorded in my grimoire.
This is my own personal advice, but something I’ve learned is to consider if there’s another way you can accomplish whatever the purpose of the spell is without magick. I think of spells as last resorts to certain things, or as a booster shot of luck or confidence ect. But that’s just me. The Timing: When will I do this spell? This could be based off of the day of the week/time of day and moon cycle. Astrology stuff if you’re into that. I also like to do big spells on the Sabbats so if you celebrate them, you might try that.
How Might I Prepare?: Will this spell have certain crystals, herbs, chants, sigils, what do you need to do and collect? Remember to research any ingredients used. Especially if its a big, or important spell to you. To me, research is just more intent!
Here’s a compact list of some things a spell might involve as well, you might go through and decide what works and what doesn’t. This certainly isn’t everything you might put in a spell but it might help you narrow a few things down:
- Colors used - Jars/Sachets - Sigils - Crystals - Herbs & Spices - Candles - Incense - Essential oils - Forms of divination, such as tarot, runes, or a pendulum - Knots - Chants - Magick waters, such as moon water
What Will The Steps Be?: if you know you want to do a glamour, once again as the example, and you want to involve candles, think about what that will actually look like.
Tips & Reminders:
- Cleanse yourself, the space, and anything used.
- Ground yourself.
- Cast a circle, if you feel that’s necessary. You don’t have to though!
- Set the mood. Do a spell past dark, light some candles, take a nice, long, hot, cleansing bath ahead of time. Drink some tea. Do some self care, or something that makes you feel as witchy as ever.
- If something feels right, using this ingredient over that, a certain time of day, or anything like that. Do it! This is your practice.
- If you’re not sure what to do, or what a spell should even look like, have a look at other similar spells. Before you even start writing your own, you might just substitute a few things because you lack ingredients or prefer something else from spells you’ve found.
- Wards are always a good idea
- If sigil burning, or fire of any sort is involved. Be safe! keep some water nearby, do it on a fire safe surface, keep in mind how you’re going to keep this contained if something goes wrong.
The human is not separate from Nature, they are Nature. That is why we function better within Nature.
Being out in Nature gives the human body a reason to awaken the dormant senses, and by doing so triggers the body into a self healing process. We are not creatures that are a custom to living in this modern caged form of being. We are meant to be out there, be free, and just be.
