The Truth About Wiccan Love Spells

First things first. If you are unhappy in your life, no spell will make that all disappear. Happiness does not come from spells, it comes from being one with yourself, it comes from being one with nature, and being honest in your life.A spell is not a magical Wicca fix-it-all. It is a focus of energies asking the natural powers to help you find yourself. Before you can even cast a spell in Wicca, you must learn to know yourself, believe in yourself, dare to change your circumstances, and to be silent.

It is also very important that you understand that the tenents of Wicca are to do no harm, nor to manipulate the hearts and souls of others. There are always consequences to these actions.

Please, before you cast any spell, find your center---discover your truth, and that will lead you to your happiness.

What color do you need

Color plays a significant role in magickal workings. Each color has its own magickal correspondences, and choosing colors associated with the goals of your magick will give your spells & workings a boost. Color can be integrated in many ways -- altar cloths, candles, clothing, ink, cloth charm bags, and even tinting a water offering on your altar.

RED - health, energy, strength,courage, will power, and sexul potency

PINK - love, affection, romance, healing spirt togetherness and spiritual awakening

YELLOW - intellect, power of the mind, confidence, action, creativity, attraction, concentration, and inspiration, stimulation, attraction, sudden changes, control, power, to draw good things, change luck

GREEN - abundance, fertility, generosity, money, wealth, marriage, balance, success, renewal

BLUE - truth, wisdom, occult power, protection, happiness, peace, understanding, patience

PURPLE - success, higher psychic ability, honors, protection, drive evil awy, divination

BROWN - attract money, financial success, concentration, balance, intuition, ESP, study

MAGENTA - quick changes, exorcism, spiritual healing

INDIGO - meditation, nuetralize anothers magic, stop gossip, balance out karma

GOLD - great fortune, intuition, understanding, fast luck, male diety powers

Manipulation is a No No

When getting involved with Wicca, consider your responsibility. The Wiccan Rede (rule) is "An it harm none, do as thou wilt" - in other words, do your own thing as long as you don´t hurt anyone, including yourself. When you cast that love spell, it´s to open YOURSELF to love, not to manipulate others into loving you ... that´s harming another, even though your personal desire makes it look like it´s for another´s good to be involved with you. Likewise, money spells are to increase your cashflow, but not to wish rich Aunt Sadie dead to leave all her money to you.

Get the idea? Work on SELF improvement and the rest will follow.

Cautions with Herbs and Oils

Herbs are wonderful things given by our Mother Earth, but certain cautions MUST be observed! White Willow is used as a "substitute" for aspirin, but CANNOT be used by folks allergic to aspirin, since it is the SAME substance! Likewise, Chamomile is in the Ragweed family ... if you have a ragweed allergy, avoid chamomile! Other herbs used in magick, such as Belladonna and Wolfbane, are poisonous and should only be used with extreme cauton. Clove and cinnamon essential oils are irritants - many oils cannot be used "straight" for the same reason.

Do not assume "just because my herb book says so" that your source is correct or that the absence of warning labels means that a product is safe for consumption or use on the body. Please, investigate any herb/oil thoroughly before use.

Appropriate Symbols

Pentagrams are a preferred symbol of the Wiccan society, but (especially for those in the Broom Closet) the "star" is not always practical. Try a plain 5-pointed star pendant ... or a locket with a picture of your familiar or totem animal ... or a symbol of a power place - a special mountain or something that calls to you. I´ve seen the pictograph of Water on a pendant - if you are a Water Sign, this could be a powerful protector for you.

One person´s trash..

A great way to get talismans and amulets is to construct them yourself. An object that has meaning for you, such as a pebble that "feels" happy, or a shell found on the beach that appeals to you, can have much more impact on your spirit than a mass-produced item bought at a curio shop.

If you buy your charms, go "junking" - junk and antique shops or even yard sales can produce some amazing finds.

"One man´s trash is another´s treasure"

Keeping Track

Keeping track of your spellwork is important. A Book of Shadows (or a CD-ROM of Shadows, whatever works for you) is a useful tool to keep track of successful spellwork - and a good reference for your personal tradition workings - the "tried and true" - that you can share with your circle or use in future spellwork.

Hot Rocks

When buying crystals, be sure to handle them to feel the vibrations of the stone. Crystals have a "personality" of their own (especially quartz) and need to be held to assess their value to your current needs.

A "hostile" stone may not be able to be reprogrammed(like a contrary child), but you cannot tell a stone´s "feel" from a catalog and the seller may not take it back on your word of "it doesn´t feel right".

Quick Incense from the kitchen

If you keep common spices in your kitchen cupboard, you have the makings of quick incense! Cinnamon can be smoldered on charcoal (the incense kind available at health food and metaphysical stores, not the barbecue kind) for protection or cashflow, as well as dry basil leaves. For a quick money spell, combine kitchen basil and oregano and "think green" as you burn it - a green candle on the side will add power to your visualization.

Those Pentagrams ...

Want to keep your symbol around your neck, but are concerned about nosy neighbors and "unenlightened" relatives? A pentagram may raise eyebrows and stir chants of "satanist", but a five pointed star necklace is available anywhere - serves the same purpose (properly purified and prepared) ... but is much more benign in common eyes.

Wonderful Salt

Need to clear an area of negative energy? Reach for the salt shaker. Ordinary table salt will work wonders .. hold the shaker in your dominant ("power") hand and picture it glowing, green to purple to blue to bright white. Shake this blessed salt around the area that seems "heavy" and see the nasty negative energy dissolve.

Note: Be careful using this one outside of the home -- salt will kill grass and plants.

An organized Witch...

... is a happy Witch! Keep track of your herb shelf in a small notebook. If your cupboard is anything like mine, boxes and bottles are stacked to the rafters and you can only see the "front layer" of your current inventory - and, of course, the rue jar is in the back. If you are keeping a notebook with your "stock" listed, you will know if you need to visit the store, or if you just need to dig.

MoJo to move you

Try a seasonal mojo bag - in a muslin sack or cloth bag - about 3x3 inches - collect seasonal power items, such as an acorn for fall, a shell for summer sea power, a stream pebble for water power of the woods - items that have personal meaning for you for particular seasons. This collection can bring the power of the seasons to your pocket.

Kitchen Witch

Out of bats wings? Look no further than your cupboard!
Many of the ingredients used in spell work are common herbs found on your kitchen spice rack - sweet basil for prosperity (money, cash flow), cinnamon for love, salt for purification, black pepper for protection.

This is also useful to those still in the "broom closet" - the neighbors may raise an eyebrow if they see you coming out of the local occult shop - but everyone goes to the grocery store!

Lovely Lavender

Need a calming soother? Lavender has been known to relax and soothe a spirit; the purple color is associated with royalty. Fill a bottle with lavender flowers for your office - open it and inhale deeply when you need a "calm fix" ... and the beautiful blooms will please your eye as well.

When Incense is Impossible

Try carrying a cotton ball with a few drops of essential oil sealed in a plastic bag. When you need a lift, just open the bag, inhale, and visualize
your need.

Protection Sachet

A good protective sachet can be made from some common kitchen herbs and spices. Combine black pepper, sea (or table) salt, sweet basil, and caraway seed - garlic is also good, but if you´re using the sachet in a car or office, the close quarters (in a car) or others (in your office) could make using garlic less than desirable.

Wrap in a white hanky or cloth bag and tie with a red cord (or red yarn). Hang in a high corner of the area to be protected. Picture the scent/vibrations of the herbs enclosing the area.

Spells, what they can and cannot do

Spells are meant to create change; they can and should be used to manipulate SITUATIONS (not people).

Example: Love spells attract love by making you more open to love and a more loving person (like attracts like), not by convincing "Mr or Ms Right-at-the-Moment" to fall in love with you. Money spells create cashflow by "found money" or a new job/promotion, not "rich person down the street gives me a million dollars because I told them to".

Use spellwork wisely, and your situation will maintain you. "An it harm none, do what thou wilt..." --Wiccan Rede

Yule Talisman

Tie a sprig of holly to a red ribbon for an appropriate Yule talisman - hold in your power hand (the one you write with) and project green light into the bag from your center. Hang the holly in your house or car. Great protection, and not obvious for those still in the Broom Closet!
