Spell casting rituals and techniques

There are many of us who have probably considered using spells at some point in our lives, be it for love, money, revenge, or protection. It’s probably also a safe guess that some of us have searched various books and other resources to find those spells so that we can try to cast them ourselves.

Spellcasting comes in many forms, which are as varied as the many traditions and religions that use spellcasting. Despite what the movies show, spell casting is also much more complex than simply waving a wand and muttering some magic words. Typically, various ingredients and components are used to cast a spell, and some kind of ritual is often associated with casting the spell, making the entire process take some time as well.

The most common form of spellcasting used today by modern witches is most closely associated with Wiccanism and is considered a natural form of spell. Wiccans typically use the natural energies of the four elements to harness magical resources that can be used to positively transform themselves and the world around them.

A large number of Wiccan spells and rituals use elements such as candles, stones, water bowls, and other natural components. Specific components are often an integral part of the particular spell, as well as precisely worded and spoken incantations. Many of the rites and rituals practiced by the Wiccans were developed and practiced by ancient witches, such as the Celts.

The Celts and other cultures that flowed from ancient religions closely associated with Wicca believed strongly in the natural powers and energies inherent in the land, and sought to tune in to those energies.

Another type of spell art includes the use of magical energies attributed to crystals. Different crystals, gemstones, and other stones are said to have their own magical energies that can be harnessed for a variety of purposes. Usually crystals and gemstones are used to heal, or cleanse, an area or element of negative energy.

Because crystals tend to absorb negative energy over time, there are various rituals to cleanse crystals and gemstones of negative energy and recharge them with positive energy. Crystals are sometimes used in a small bag on someone’s person to impart positive, cleansing energy to the wearer.

Cosmology is another form of magic spell art. The art of magical cosmology and its current practice can be largely attributed to Samual Liddell MacGregor Mathers. Samual Mathers was one of the original founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, whose members studied many ancient manuscripts and grimoires related to mystical practices and religions that focused on the universe. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn used meditation rituals to increase the range of consciousness and achieve magical attunement with the forces of the cosmos.

Psychic spell crafting is another form of magic and is typically done without ingredients, arcane or divine rituals, or spoken words and chants. Instead, the psychic spellcaster uses intense focus and masterful discipline over his own mind to achieve results that would in fact seem magical.

Of course, this is simply a sample of the types of spells practiced throughout ancient history and in modern times. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and many other cultures practiced their own forms of ritual magic. Spellcasting is deeply rooted in ancient religions and deity worship, and in studies of the energies inherent in the earth, the universe, the spiritual plane, and ourselves.

If you seek help in life matters by casting spells, it is advisable that you do not try any spells yourself. Experienced witches and spell casters are well versed in the correct and precise steps that must be followed to ensure successful spell casting.
