To: alt.magick.tyagi,alt.magick,alt.pagan.magick,alt.religion.wicca,alt.witchcraft,alt.paranormal.spells.hexes.magic From: lorax666Subject: Spell Methods Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 17:53:25 GMT 50030313 VII om "Nightwish" : > ...what things do you all take into consideration when > writing a spell? I don't often write them out, but when I do I like to give it careful consideration. > Do you pay close attention to when you plan to perform > the spell? (ie: do you pay close attention to day > of the week correspondences, date is usually more important to me than week day, but both factor in. mo./day relations are valuable to me too: 3/9, 4/16, 5/25, etc. > moon phase correspondences, etc.?) quite often. > Do you cast a circle when doing a spell? never. circle-casting is something that I have studied but never consistently-employed. I gather it came out of Solomonic magic into Wicca through Gardner, but the Sorcerer's Chamber substitutes when I need a focus or solitude. Hermetic sealings appear rather overdone. > Does your spell rhyme? it doesn't always include words, but sometimes rhymes. > Do you use herbs, of late, yes, mostly as additions to incense/oils, sometimes as ingredients to a mojo. > candles, insence, oils, etc. in your spells? I've always used candles and incense. oil was a recent addition, I've become aware of their formulae and quality standards within the last few years. > I'd like to know more about how different people go > about doing things. I know each person generally has > their own method, and I was simply curious as to how > people here did things. sensible. there are traditions which flow through people, taught in tenuous ways like through this thread. blessed be! lorax666
