How to create a magick spell – Black Witch Coven

Crafting Thine Own Spells

To learn how to create basic magic spells as a witch, it’s always best to follow the traditional route. It gives you a good foundation. I never regret spending although those many years learning about basic magic.

The practice of advanced black magic also involves understanding some of the most basic elements or fundamental witchcraft.

If you’re looking to go into black magic, you might observe that this decision is only because of a certain situation or time in your current life. When you practice Basic witchcraft you’ll be able to appreciate and practice with other people following different witchcraft and traditions, And not be the odd one out knowing nothing about magic.

Basic Spell Crafting

There are two ways to craft your own spells.

The first is to take an existing spell and personalize it to suit your individual needs. Ingredients such as herbs and oils can easily be modified (as long as their magickal properties correspond to your intent), incantations can be reworded, deities can often be substituted to accommodate your personal spiritual tradition or cultural/ethnic heritage, and so forth.

Feel free to add, omit, and change until the spell becomes yours. The idea behind personalization is to put as much of your energies into the spell as possible, while at the same time retaining its original structure.

The second way is to create a new spell completely from scratch. Many Witches do this when they are unable to find an appropriate spell for their need or desire, or when the spells crafted by others just don’t feel right.

The first step is to research the magickal correspondences to find the herbs, deities, colours, planets, Elements, and other things that relate to your intent, and then decide which of them you want to work with. The more magickal correspondences you incorporate into your spellwork, the more potent your magick will be.

The next step is to write an incantation that clearly states your need or desire. Incantations can be either simple or poetic, and they may also include an invocation to a deity if you should so desire. Rhyming incantations are not only traditional, but they are said to be more powerful because of their magick-making rhythm.

The Rede of the Wiccae, written by Lady Gwen Thompson and published in the Spring 1975 issue of The Green Egg, supports this with the following lines: “To bind the spell every time, let the spell be spake in rhyme.”

It matters not if you are a great poet so long as there is intent behind your words.

It is a spellcaster’s intent and will, combined with the energy that he or she raises and sends forth, that fuels a spell.

Incantations, along with candles, incense, robes, and ritual tools, do not, in themselves, possess the power to create magick.

The true magick comes from the heart and soul of the practitioner.

The final step is to determine the appropriate time for casting your spell.

Remember that working in harmony with the phases of the moon, astrological influences, and planetary hours will add additional energy to your magick.
