Spells are really just rituals that focus intention. Most people at some time have done small rituals such as lighting candles, blowing out birthday candles and making a wish, or wearing, carrying or even kissing lucky charms. Whenever you do things like this you are encouraging magick to manifest in your life. It's not something to be afraid of, magick exists. It is a beautiful, bubbly energy which we can tap into to help us make our dreams come true, big and small.
What you do need to be aware of is to only cast magick for good, just the same as you must only manifest for the highest good, and praying will only work if it's for the highest good. Wiccan law states that
"Any energy you send out, shall return to you three-fold."
If you cast magick, pray and manifest only things which are good for you and anyone else, good will return to you three-fold and most likely, your wish will unfold in some way in your life. However if you use magick, prayer or manifestation to seek to harm or control another, this is karmically incorrect. Ever heard the saying what goes around, comes around? If you put out negative energy in this way that negative energy will be bounced back to you amplified three times.
So use only white magick.
Meditate on your actions before you do them and cast magick with a pure heart...and watch magick pour into your life.
Here are a few simple spells from a lovely little book I found a long time ago, which are harmless and easy to do and which work. A place to get started.
SIGILISM
Create a sentence that sums up what you want. Be clear, and aim for one thing at a time. Write it down, and take the first letter of every word. If any letters are repeated, reduce them to just one.
Take all the letters and create a "monogram" of them. It's fine for lines to overlap or to be written backwards. You should end up with a magickal-looking but indecipherable symbol.
When you are emotionally charged up, stare at it. No need to recall its intent - your subconscious will do that for you. The greater the energy directed at it, the bigger the end result.
EFFERVESCENCE
If you are feeling lack-lustre but need to be the life and soul, or at least to entertain, imagine that your aura is made out of pink champagne. Watch it weave and bubble about all those around you, the most decadent of Jacuzzis in which all become enlivened, their own auras tingling in response. This will give rise to a sparkling and fun-filled event.
(I have also used visualising pink light when I have had conflict with people - radiating it out from my heart to reach their aura. It works incredibly well, and I got the idea from this spell.)
REJUVENATION BATH
Put an emerald in the bath in about five inches of lukewarm water. Allow to soak for at least one hour. Remove the emerald, and add warm water. Sprinkle with seven drops of either basil, thyme or lavender essential oils (if pregnant, use scented bubble bath as a safe alternative).
When immersed, rest the emerald on your heart chakra. Envisage its brilliant green rejuvenation energy permeating the water, and you. Do not arise until every cell in your body has been aurically saturated in this way.
KARMIC CALMER
If you are angry and do not wish to be, remove yourself from the situation, then breathe in white light and envisage red light exiting your body as you exhale. As you calm down, it grows pinker and paler. When the light you exhale is white, it is safe to re-enter the fray, resolving this time to keep your cool.
(I have used this on numerous occasions lol...)
WEALTH
For encouraging prosperity, add silver coins to your bath when the moon is waxing. As you splash around, envisage yourself with enough material wealth to allow you to enjoy life and express your potential to the full.
These are some of my favourites, but feel free to add to them. Some of them are barely spells I guess but it depends how you look at it. Spells are really just another way of focusing intention.
By the way the book I have is called The Little Book of Pocket Spells by Akasha Moon, ISBN 0-7126-1419-2
