Dear Friends,

While it is very easy to just go out and purchase a book of spells or find some for your use on the Internet, creating your own spells for magick working is a very easy thing to do that can add an enormous amount of power to your work. It is often quite intimidating for those that have never done it before and can take some practice, but in no time at all it is something that you can easily develop a talent for if you take a few simple things into consideration.

Spells are one of the central points in witchcraft. They encompass a variety of things including words, visualization, meditation, the use of physical objects and more. A key part in learning how to effectively create your own spells to use is to take the time to study each of these components. Learn how they work individually, and how to blend them together so that they create a working spell. By making yourself familiar with each of these components, it will be much easier for you to effectively create a spell that will work.

A common question that I hear from people that are seeking to create their own spells is do the words of the spell really have to rhyme? The reality is, a spell does not have to rhyme for it to be effective. You can have a non-rhyming spell that works just as good as a rhyming one. Many witches however, find that using a rhyming spell helps in their intentions, because the rhyme gives their conscious mind something to focus on while their subconscious mind performs the magick. Some just simply enjoy the way the words flow. If you are unsure of your rhyming abilities, feel free to create a spell that has no rhyming involved. Or, if you prefer to use spells with rhyming words, take the time to practice rhyming by seeing how many things you can get to rhyme in a day. Before you know it, you’ll be rhyming like a rap star and have no problem in getting the words of your spell to rhyme perfectly.

Words however, are only one part of most spells. The majority of spells you will want to perform will work better if you incorporate other components into them, such as the use of stones, candles, essential oils, herbs, or other tools that are used in magick. In order for you to use these components in your spells efficiently, you will of course need a solid base of knowledge on how each of these things work, and which are used for certain purposes. For instance, if you are creating a prosperity spell, you will need to know what candle colors work best for prosperity, which essential oils are related to prosperity, and so on and so forth.

The best way to start creating your own spells for magick working is to start simple and small. Begin with easy spells, such as a cleansing spell or a simple beauty spell. Take your time, and do not rush through creating the ritual. A good spell takes time and thought. Sure, you will have those moments where when you think of what your intentions are and what kind of spell you would like to write it immediately is laid out in your mind how the spell should go. But most spells will require time, research and knowledge in order to be created effectively, so it is important that you remain patient and dedicated.

Not only is spell creation essential to magick, but it’s fun too! Don’t allow yourself to become overwhelmed by creating a spell, just take your time and enjoy it. It is a skill that can take some time to learn, but once you do it will be very rewarding and well worth the time spent perfecting it.

Brightest Blessings,
