Two Methods:Sample SpellsWriting Your Own SpellCommunity Q&A

If you're going to write a spell, it should be specific to you and every individual. Even if following a traditional spell, it should be tailored to your specific needs to be the most effective for you. Understanding the basics of spell construction will enable you to formulate your own specific, effective spells for any purpose you choose.

Writing Your Own Spell

  1. 1

    State your intention. Decide on the result you want to accomplish with the spell.

  2. 2

    Time your spell. Timing when casting spells can be important. The Moon is important in witchcraft, and therefore has a profound influence upon us. It is very important to choose the right moon phase for your spell; magical workings for gain, increase or bringing things to you, should be initiated when the moon is waxing (from new to full); when the moon is waning (from full to dark), then its time for magical workings of decrease or sending away. The highest energy occurs at the full moon, and therefore this is the most powerful time for magical workings. The new moon is the next most powerful time for magic.
  3. 3

    Work with the seasons. There is a natural time for starting things (a planting time), for maturing things (a growing time), for reaping things (a harvest time) and, of course, a time for rest and planning.

  4. 4

    Gather your tools. Make sure that you have all the tools that you need for casting the spell. Your tools must have no inherent magic. They are to help you create a mood. You also have to clean your tools. Don't forget to cleanse and bless (consecrate) your tools before you begin casting your spell.

  5. 5

    Understand magic. Remember that magic is the manipulation of energy, a thought is a form of energy and a visualization is an even stronger form of energy. Your visualization can be a method used to intensify further and direct your will. Your visualization can be the method by which you control the magical energy you have produced. You must know what you want. You must see it. You must feel the high energy flow. You must direct it.

  6. 6

    Write your spoken words. For making your words and thoughts stronger you can write your spell into a rhyme to be spoken aloud; this makes it easier to remember your spell, you can also chant your spell to raise energy.
  7. 7

    Remember the Threefold Law. Everything that you want to reach with this spell comes back 3 times, good or wrong.

Answered Questions

Add New Question
  • Does a spell have to rhyme and, if so, how and where should it rhyme?

    • It's mentioned in The Wiccan Rede "To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be spake with rhyme." But it all comes down to the individual person, because a lot of people prefer not to rhyme, and that's okay too. If you can, though, then it's highly recommended. But really, it's a matter of what you choose to do.
  • What is the threefold law?

    • The three fold law applies to when you write a spell to make something happen. Once you cast the spell, then the same thing will happen to you later on in your life, either three times worse or three times better. For example, if you cast a spell to give someone good luck, you will experience thrice as much good luck later on in life.
  • What should I do if I cast a spell and accidentally misspelled someone's name?

    • That shouldn't be a huge issue, as long as your intent was clear and you pictured them correctly when casting. However, if you are really worried about it, undo the original spell and recast it.
  • Do I have to come up with ingredients, like candles, incense, etc.?

    • Not at all! In fact, there are no actual components needed to cast a spell. Tools, such as candles and incense, add a little more power, but they mostly serve to enhance your focus and belief. Certain things, like clearing negativity and energy, are required, however.
  • Should I say it out loud?

    • Yes. A beginner can make his or her spell stronger by speaking it out loud. It will help tie power, belief, and intent to the spell.
  • What should I do if my belief isn't strong enough?

    • Try and make it stronger. Without belief, no spell will work, whether it's one you made or another one.
  • How many words does my spell need?

    • Your spell can be as short or long as you want. It all depends on how deep your message is. If you simply want to be protected, your spell may be quite short. If your spell is more complex, or if you want a specific thing to occur, then you might want to go into more detail, thus making it longer.
  • How long does a spell last?

    • That largely depends on the type of spell cast, its intended purpose, and the power/experience of the practitioner. For example, most spells cast by a beginner are fairly short lived and run their course by a moon cycle or so.

Tips

  • Before you write your final version of your spell, you can write on a note what you want to reach with your spell, and what you are needing.
  • Be careful of what you are doing, it may turn out to be bad. Black magic is something you should not play with as it can backfire.
  • There are many sources of protection around you. Be Emerged with the secure beauty of the divine. If unusually Insecure call upon deceased loved ones who have crossed over perhaps even your guide or every damn thing that verifies why you are one who should be cradled and embraced by the sacred power we live under. Embraced by the creators insight and his power to solve anything unknown into the light.
  • Don't forget to cast a circle before doing any spell, for you are totally vulnerable for elementals when casting higher powers of other beings.
  • Meditation is the key to relaxation, and being completely relaxed allows energy to flow freely throughout your body. You should learn how to clear your mind and focus with what's on hand. Burning sage first in a room you will be using to do your spell is a great idea too.
