I got a question. In order to make your own spell.
-How to make sure if you making your own correct spell.
-If you need to create a spell, do u need candles and say rhythm words for example.
You need 3 red candles, a picture of your love ones,
Chant these words 3x
My heart is blue,
My emotions is depression,
Please tell me the truth,
I will love this confession
Like please may someone tell me HOW you actually create your own spells.
Do u have to mediate?
Key things needed are focus, visualisation and the ability to direct energy and will power to a desired end.
There are many methods for spell work- burning candles and saying words without feeling and focus is going to be nothing more than reciting bad poetry in front of candles.
Spells do not have to rhyme.
I largely take a high magick approach to things I wll first decide what it is that I want. I will then use the tree of life to see where I can map that desire on to it.
This in turn gives me many things I can use in spells- Elemental energy, Astrological/Planetary energy, Gods, arch-angels, angels and spirits. As well as herbs, crystals and scents.
All of these things are used to direct your intention and focus to a specific end. It is about directing the will focusing all oyur faculties and energies to one goal.
I will either make a talisman and invoke generally and then specific beings and either burn the talisman and consume the ashes in some water if the goal is internal, or cover it and place it in a pouch with the appropriate crystal.
Or I have also just sat quietly after invoking the enrgies stated my intention and merely visualised with focus the outcome I desire- a rhyme or mantra is definitely an advantage here. There is a well-known Crowley quote that you must "ENflame thyself in prayer", this is true, you have to really be energetic about it and not passive, pouring in energy, focus and emotion really briniging it about.
Then afterwards it is essential that you forget about the spell completely. Do not think about it as you will "lust for result" you will desire the result more and more, but this desire is wrong as if something is coming your way you should not desire it but await it- desiring it implies you have not done enough to obtain it, which sends the wrong message to your unconscious mind and thus the universal forces working for you.
Forgetting the working also ensures there is no doubt at all entering your mind, doubt can nullify your magick- you must try with all your might to forget, unless you have been pacticing for many many years and have the utmost confidence in our abilities- this does not occur in most people unitl at least over a decade of practice. I have been practicing on and off for 8 years, and I still have not reached this phase of utmost confidence.
Thank You Hadit. Very Informative. I always put the will behind the words but it is good to see where I was going wrong. For instance I have thought for years it must ryhme as that is how I was taught. It is nice to find a place with real learning. :-)
I don't personally have anything to add to Raven's response but going off of hers my brother and my husband both employ the first method she mentioned. My brother doesn't speak he focused his will draws up the energy and casts it using his will an intent no words. My husband will sit and "build" the spell with his mind forming a clear intent summoning the energy and then when he had it all together he releases with a single word. As raven days Clear and specific focus/Intent are key.
