THE GODDESS AND MAGICK SPELLS

 UNDERSTANDING SPELLCRAFT

By magickal definition, anything occurring naturally on Earth, whether plant, animal, element, stone or metal, is alive.  Magick is the manipulation of Earth’s naturally occurring powers in an attempt to provide the spell-caster with what he or she desires.  Magick power is inherent on Earth; people did not create it, imagine it or make it up.  By various means, they learned how to use it; magick spells are the result.

It is said - “Magick is the Science and Art of causing change to occur in conformity with Will.”

Ceremonial Magicians have four important rules concerning working magick.  You would be wise to always follow these rules in performing your spellwork.  They have worked for Mages for millennium. 

“To Know, To Will, To Dare and To Keep Silent” 

To Know means to know what you are doing, intellectually and practically. To have knowledge of spellwork, magick, what may work best in your situation, what you are able to handle, are comfortable with, how to execute what you want. Most importantly, to know what you want to accomplish. The more concise you can make your statement of purpose, the better and more effective your spell will be.

To Will  refers to the magickal will. What is that really? It is to be able to generate enough emotional and psychic energy to accomplish your purpose. You can be very learned and have all the spell work lore in your head and be perfectly practiced, but you have to put your own emotional energy into the thing, or it won't go anywhere.

To Dare means to have the gumption to actually get off your couch and do it. You can be learned, and burn with intensity, but until and unless you actually go get the stuff, do the research and preparation and do the spell, nothing will happen. Sounds pretty basic, doesn't it? Well it is, and this is where many spells die. Talk is cheap. Action and investing time and energy are what count. Until you act, the spell will be nothing more than a particularly vivid daydream.

To Keep Silent is the last ingredient and is just as important as the other three. You have to be able to understand what you want and what you're doing, have the energy to make it happen, have the gumption to get up and actually do what's necessary and then, once accomplished, BE SILENT  About It.  I have seen wonderful spells executed, only to never come to fruition because the person couldn't keep quiet.

You have to let the spell go to accomplish the purpose. If you are constantly talking and dwelling on it, you haven't let it go. You are still tied to it and are in effect calling it back every time you mention or brag or discuss it.
