► ► ► Writing Your Own Spell

A step by step guide to writing your own spells.

Sure, you can use a spell that you found in a spellbook or on the internet in order to cast a spell. But most all experienced magic users will tell you that the best, and most effective, spell that you can cast is the one that you create yourself for your specific purpose. Yet when you are new to magic creating your own spell may seem like a daunting task. It isn't really. Here is some information that will help you to craft your own spells for your own specific needs and desires.

I'm going to take you step by step through what I consider the essentials of crafting a spell in the following steps:

Intention and Purpose:

Put simply, this is deciding exactly what it is that you wish the spell to do.

This might sound rather simplistic and something that doesn't require a lot of thought, but actually it is one of the most important steps in spell work. Do you remember some of the fairy tales you heard as a child where the person asks something from a fairy only to find out that what the fairy did was not what they wanted? Magic can be like that. If you are not absolutely clear in your mind about what it is that you want the spell to do then the magic may choose an outcome you didn't want and didn't foresee. That can be unfortunate. So before you jump straight into casting a spell, take some time to understand what it is that you want the magic to do for you.

Meditation can be a useful tool in figuring out exactly what you wish to accomplish with your spell and how best to go about achieving your goal. ( Yes, this requires that you learn at least some basic meditation skills. Magic isn't something one can just jump into. It takes a bit of work and practice before you're apt to achieve positive results. ) Meditate on the situation you wish to solve or improve with magic and what the best solution to that situation might be.

I also like to use divination at this stage of spell crafting. This can be done with any divination tool; although some will give you a clearer answer. In doing the divination you are asking what the likely outcome of doing a particular spell might be in order to know if that outcome is what you want. One of the easiest methods is to use a pendulum or to flip a coin to get a yes or no answer. With this latter you can ask If I do spell X will I get the outcome I desire? If the answer is no you might want to think some more on exactly what you wish to accomplish with the spell and what other ways you might approach the magic.

OK, now you have clear in your mind exactly what the spell to accomplish and the best sort of spell to reach your goal. But you aren't ready to move on to doing the spell quite yet. There are still some things to consider. Hey, I never promised that spell work was simple!
