Wicca, Wiccan Magick, Witchcraft, and Magic Spells

Like witch or magician of beginner, you will have to know times and the seasons of the year of the witches. They are correct times when you can reload your magic batteries and lower with yourself the new currents of the elementary power to work to it your orthography. The elementary tides of power of the universe are marked by the movements of holds the first role, the sun, and the moon, but mainly the last two. Although these marvellous bodies are not the real sources of power, they are the principal indicators of its backward flow and enter our universe. All the times that you wish to carry out a magic act, you must work fascinating of account these tides of power, same manner a navigator of times of a boat its movements to use the tides of sea to its best advantage. Naturally, you can work against the tide, but it individual-demolishes for the beginner, and better left for periods of the urgency or until such an hour that you reached a degree of insurance in your practice. The sun and the moon are the two large hands of our cosmic clock. Considering that the hand or the sun of hour governs the seasons of the year, the moon or the hand of minute governs the tides of sea and hidden operations of the major spirit. As such, this marvellous body rather than the sun is the principal concern of the witches. In European mythology the sun was always seen like symbol of a male divinity, the female moon. However, worship of the moon like a supreme deity evolved/moved much earlier than that of the sun. It is known as among the witches that in England at least the worship of the moon goddess antedated Druidic, religion solar, and that it is of this religion early of Prytanic that four of the great annual festivals of witch are derived. They are the nights of October 31 (Halloween); February 2 (Candlemas); April 30 (Beltane), and August 1 (Lammas). Of the latter, Beltane and Halloween are most important. One also observes the four solar festivals of the fire of the druids, although with a less degree. They are full winter, arises, middle of the summer, and autumn as marked by the solstices and the equinoxes, and those like four preceding mark eight Sabbats, or festivals, of the year of the witches.

The practical importation of the Sabbats is this: Mark of Halloween, Candlemas, Beltane, and Lammas the beginning of each quarter of the cycle of solar-tide; initially the tide of the destruction and the winter is launched with Halloween, the treat of deaths, the first day of the year of the witches. The dark tide of the destruction reaches its point raised at the full winter, the winter solstice. Candlemas marks the end of the reign of the king of the winter, the lord of Misrule, and the first stirrings of the luminous tide of the summer. Per hour of the vernal equinox, the luminous and dark tides are also held balanced, with the luminous tide in increase; Beltane marks the beginning of sound fuller flow, which reaches its point raised with the solstice of medium of the summer. From here it starts to weaken. The first stirrings of the dark tide are then smelled in Lammas, at the period of fructification and with the harvest when harvests are collected inside and the fruits start to mature. With the autumnal equinox, the tide two are held still also opposite, the luminous tide weakening, the always increasing darkness. At Halloween the tide of the darkness still writes its full flow, and thus the cycle starts again. To the farmers and with those whose work is prone to the seasons the backward flow and the flow of the solar tide are, naturally, the second nature, for it influence the whole cycle of life of all this plantation on the ground. But for witches, one observes it mainly in coven class project work to the fall the elementary power of group, consequently with the synchronization of their Sabbats. Coven is seen to be composed of a spirit of group which them needs to be periodically reloaded with the power. This belief that they are in common held with many organized religious worships, which is one of the reasons why festivals of witch often coincide with holy days of Christian or Druidic. When you organize your clean coven, you should entirely realize of the importation of the various Sabbats, as will be explained in the final chapter of this book. For the moment it is enough that you know when they occur and mark them with far in your calendar consequently. For all the magic goals practices, however, the phases of the moon are the most important thing so that you observe. The method of their employment is extremely simple.

Basically, there are two sides with the character of the moon; when it waxes, the luminous moon; and when it weakens, darkness of the moon. Any orthography in constructive matter should be when the moon is luminous, i.e., to wax carried out with completion. Those let us include the magic of love of any kind, sorcery conceived to bring the chance or success, of charms of fertility, protection, countermagic, and naturally divination. Old worms of witch goes as follows: To request with the moon when it is in round, the chance with you will then abound, For what you seek will be found, At sea or sky or full ground… As soon as the full moon passes, we embark on the darkness of the moon, because the light weakens and the nights become blacker. For this period you will carry out all the operations of destructive or “black” nature, such as spells attack and revenge, the obligatory operations (binding) to prevent people from making certain things, the agricultural magic conceived to eliminate from the parasites or grasses, the charms to cool passions in others, and certain work of necromancy, i.e., gathering phantoms of deaths. Many witches when they form their clean coven tend to, monthly Esbats of catch or semi-monthly without ceremony (in opposition to Sabbats, of the French, of the esbattre, “with plays about”) around full or new moon, in order to have a klatch general of coffee and to perhaps carry out a collective ritual to facilitate one of the members or an external friend who asked for the assistance in someway. If you are held your Esbat with full or new moon, naturally, on the nature of you orthography depends envisage to mould. Thus they are then the days of red-letter on the calendar of your witches. There is enormously them. Thirteen full moons, thirteen new moons, and eight Sabbaths. None them is obligatory, except as you must be useful of them, because a witch, however, will note you that the Sabbaths are recreation. and interesting to make an effort more, particularly Sabbaths large of Beltane and Halloween.
