The Heptagram is a seven pointed star which is also considered to be the Star of Venus, the Goddess of Love. This symbol illustrates the allocation of the energies of various planets in the course of one week and is used to focus on a particular planet. This symbol is also used in the traditions of Faerie Wicca. Often the Heptagram is engraved on a practitioner’s Book of Shadows (or Black Book) [...]

It always better to create your own love spells. By visualizing your outcome and deeply meditating on your intentions, you can create spells customized to your wishes and dreams. A picture of your loved one or a candle to represent your lover will enhance the environment and increase the surge of energy that you will raise when you are in the sacred circle.
Pictures of the loved one also enhance our [...]

To enhance the chances of meeting someone the old-fashioned way, or even the new-fashioned way via the internet, one of the best love spells to try is one that simply announces to the universe that you are looking for love. In her books, Silver Ravenwolf cautions that you should be very specific when casting this type of spell that you are looking for a human lover or friend as the universe can have [...]

Learn
One of the cornerstones of The Craft is the belief that our souls are here on this plane of existence at this point in time to learn lessons. Your lessons are different from (although probably quite similar to) my own. Learn what life teaches you. It is no more difficult than this.
Enjoy
The life of the witch does not require you to live your life in suffering nor poverty. There are no mandates [...]

Several books have been written on the art of kitchen witchery, the practice of making consumable goods that are charged with magic.
In the fantasy tradition, magic potions have eye of newt or toad’s breath or equally disgusting sounding concoctions and have some sort of visible and usually hideous effect. One again, that kind of gross over exaggeration is not the way real magic potions work [...]

In the scope of Witchcraft, white magick is the only way to enhance our life and ensure that no harm comes to any of the individuals who practice this way of life. As pagans or practitioners of Wicca, we have to take a solemn oath to always respect life (animate and inanimate) and to stay away from negative forces.
Sometimes magick involves various binding and knotting techniques that may hold the [...]

Pens
Used for entering passages into the witch’s Book of Shadows. Like everything else used in making magic, the pen should be consecrated before use. Some spell makers prefer quill pens as they give a continuance of tradition from the days before the fountain pen.
Pentagram
A five pointed star, the sides of which are interwoven with one another, can be drawn without lifting pen from paper. [...]

Good witches always make sure that we do not harm anyone with our spells. If we are working a spell to help another, we have to make sure that we ask their permission.
Making an altar or private space is a necessity unless you have vast land under your disposal where you can sit in peace at any time. Usually, witches in apartments or small homes will need to set aside a corner or a small room for our [...]

For healing, anoint a white candle with any of the above oils and carve the reason why you think that you have a curse on you. White consists of all colors of the rainbow and it is considered the color of healing.

Regardless of what items or tools Wiccans use, the goal of these rituals is to push forward the powerful energies that create what we call reality. The people who are more spiritually and psychically advanced can quickly achieve the altered state of consciousness that is necessary to control the creative energies.
Other practitioners will benefit from the use of soothing oils, perfumes, incense, etc. [...]

Beltane is usually celebrated as May Day in recent decades. In some areas of the world, this marked the beginning of the summer season when farm animals are allowed to graze on the pastures that have returned after the cold winter season. Bonfires are lit on mountains and hills and houses are decorated with May Boughs and May bushes. The cattle are sometimes driven through the bonfires to purify them. [...]

If our spell hurts anyone immediately, we should never even attempt to work that spell. However, if we are not aware of any problems immediately and cannot think of any that could happen by domino effect, then we may go ahead with some caveats in the spell working that may enable the spell only if it “does not hurt anyone”.
Take the case of a married couple. If anyone falls in love with [...]

The power of our mind is limitless. We can take our emotions to the highest possible joy or to the lowest depths of depression just by our thoughts.
The majority of the people in this world do not believe in hell or heaven. Rather, they believe that our life on Earth is the main goal of life. Why we came here, what our pre-birth goals are and how we can prepare to achieve them.
Many of the ancient [...]

Here is another healing spell:
Get a blue candle and some eucalyptus or mint oil. Again, take a nice, purification bath and meditate for some time. As your mind calms down and allows you to visualize clearly, see the person you wish to heal sitting down calmly and smiling at you and the rest of their family.
With a blunt knife or Athame, carve the name of the sick person on the candle. Slowly anoint [...]

Quartz Crystals
These are used to collect energy for ritual purposes. Quartz crystals can absorb positive or negative energy. So we will need to re-energize the crystals after use. Some crystals may be cleansed with water or by placing them in the sunlight or moonlight. Others may be consecrated by burying in the earth or in salt.
Naturally Pure Spring Water (or any water that is not processed)
