Spells

I have mixed feelings about putting spells up on the internet. I am a firm believer that the best spells are the ones you write yourself. I would be lying if I said that I have never gone to the internet and
gotten spells when I was not feeling as inspired as I should. There are some wonderfully written spells on the internet, I use these as well sometimes to gain ideas for my own.

I know that many of the spells are missing something and I know that this is done purposely so that someone not knowing what they are doing can not get thereselves into trouble.

I am placing several spells on this page, these spells are meant only for guidance in writting your own. Please heed my warning when it comes to spells. Do not attempt to do spells if you are not aware of what you are doing. A spell can back fire very easily with just a slip of a word. If you are new to the Craft and you are in need of guidance please e-mail me and I will help you.

Spellwork is only one part of witchcraft. I encourage all new to The Craft to learn about the beliefs first, there will be plenty of time for spellwork. For without the basics you will be unable to properly perform spellwork. Remember Witchcraft is a LEARNING experience and it will take time to gain the knowledge. If you are interested in witchcraft only for spells than you are going to have many problems.Remember, Witchcraft is so much more than just spells it is a way of life. You must have BALANCE in everything that you do.

A SPELL OF HEALING
By Ben Colburn

Prepare the space which you use as an altar by placing a white candle, a piece of paper, an ink pen, a quartz crystal, something which could represent a cauldron (I used a mortar from a pestle and mortar in the kitchen) and some oil - I used frankincense but that is horribly expensive, I got it as a present and only use it very occasionally.
Cast the circle in whichever way you see fit. I normally start at the east and use the visualization techniques suggested by Starhawk in The Spiral Dance- tracing a pentacle of blue fire in the air at each corner and visualizing its element - so at the east visualize a wide open plain with wind rushing across it, at the south feel the sun beat down on you and fill you with great warmth, at the west imagine yourself standing atop a cliff overlooking a wide, deep ocean, and at the north picture yourself standing at the foot of great mountains cloaked in dark forests. Then collect yourself, focus your mind and go back to your altar.
At the altar, set your mind clearly to what you intend to do. Then light the candle, saying "I dedicate this candle to thee, Lord Apollo the Physician, and ask your aiding in fighting this illness." Breathe deeply for a while, feeling the power within the circle pool inside you, and when you feel ready, find a word which most typifies the illness for you - it could be its name (I chose "meningitis"), it could be the way it makes you feel ("misery" for example) - either way it has to represent the illness for you. Now, write the word on the piece of paper, and as you do it say "I imbue thee, paper, with the essence of this illness - thou shalt represent it for me in this ritual." Put the paper down, and then douse it with the oil, saying "With this oil I prepare thee, ."
Hold the paper to the flame and set light to it. Be careful! Oil soaked paper burns A LOT faster than you expect it to. Drop it into the cauldron, saying "With fire I vanquish thee, , in the name of Apollo the Physician I destroy thee, " Repeat this phrase three times.
Finally, centre yourself again and hold the quartz crystal to your third eye. Breathe deeply and use the crystal as a resonator for the energy around you. If you are healing yourself, let the energy from the ritual which is inside the circle focus in the crystal and enter you, healing you and making you healthy and strong. If you are healing someone else, use the crystal to focus the energy of the ritual again but this time use it like a transmitter, sending the energy out along a shining path to heal your loved one.
When this is done, thank Apollo for his presence - I said "I thank thee, Lord Apollo, for your presence here tonight - farewell, Lord!". Then close the circle by thanking each of the directions, starting at north and ending at east, and ground the energy - I always do this by reciting "Circle open but unbroken, power down to the ground," and pound my staff or stamp on the floor three times to let the energy flow out of me back into the earth. You can leave the candle burning as long as you like - perhaps until you get a sign that you or the sufferer is improving might be a nice idea :-)
