Magick: Creating Our Own Magick Spells

MagickWriting our own spells is what every practicing Witch aspires to. The ability to craft our own spells gives us an advantage over “ready made” spells we can find in other places. This is because we will be putting our own emotion and energy into the spell. Through the process of its unique creation it will be special and meaningful to us, and that is the secret of casting successful spells.
If we want to learn black magic, all of the following holds true. The ingredients and tools that we use are purely dependent upon not only what traditional magickal properties they might possess, but also what they mean to us as far as symbology goes.
There are different ways to set up the wording of our spells. They can be as simple as a two line charge to enforce our will, rhyming couplets (my personal favourite, since it helps me to better remember the words without referring back to written instructions), eloquent and lengthy prose to charge the spell to the energy of our will, or simply the use of repeating or chanting a single word over and over again.
Everything that we put into the spell, the ingredients, the words, the time of day, etc come together with our desire, emotion, and belief to bring about our desired outcome (sometimes within a day).
A quick word of warning: we should steer clear of casting spells to harm or control other people in any way. Not only does this go against the Witchcraft Ethics and Responsibilities, but trying to control someone else (or cause harm to them), opens doors in the future that we may not want opened. I have seen people lose everything because they practiced Magick in ways that go against common morality. Always make sure our heart is in the right place, and that we feel good about casting a spell.
Now, here are the things we will want to do while creating our spell. Make sure to write down an outline for the spell on paper so we won't forget anything. Even if our spell sounds silly as we write it, keep writing, as long as it is coming from our heart, and is for an intense desire that we have. Unless it is an emergency situation, plan out the best timing for when to cast the spell. We will need to take into consideration planetary influences, moon phases, etc. When we have finished our spell, write it down in our Book of Shadows. Record the results of our spell, and any feelings and impressions we had while casting it in our Book of Shadows
Revise the spell as necessary, as we figure out what went right and what went wrong.
It really is not that complicated. The most important part is that we create something that is authentic.
