Free Powerful Magic Spells That Will Work for You

Before we take a look at the process of creating your own spells, let us first take a look at what exactly a "spell" is and what we might use it for.

Essentially what we are looking at is a short ritual method to bring about a desired result. The actual word is Old English and comes from Old Norse, Higher German and Gothic roots relating to discourse, reporting and the speaking of tales. There is also an Old English word 'spelian' which means to 'to take the place of' which suggests a transformative idea. Obviously then we are looking at a vocal exercise intended to bring about desired change in a situation or circumstance, though spell work need not be vocal for the mind speaks loud enough.

When one wishes to bring about change the key is always focus and intent. The focus is vital for the concentration of mind that one would need to elicit change and intent is the driving force behind the whole project. The problem with 'off the shelf' spell books is that they may perhaps teach some valid methods for attaining certain goals yet without your own passion and focus they will mean nothing. Therefore one will achieve much better results by creating and designing your own spells and the rituals in which to act them out. You will therefore have a unique and very personal method for you to produce the results that you seek.

One example would be using associations used by many practitioners for specific goals. Here more than anywhere the correspondences will be meaningless unless they have meaning to you. Words of power, no matter how cryptic or ancient they may be, will not serve you well unless you infuse them with a deeper and far more personal meaning. Why learn an ancient language when your mother tongue would suffice? Why follow someone else's incantation when the meaning was only ever powerful to the writer?

You must therefore build up your own library of correspondences and associations within you that will thus prove far more powerful when applied. You will be creating and using your own tradition and the more that you use it the more infused with your own magical spirit will it thus become. Let us now create a simple example to illustrate the concepts outlined here.

Let us say that you simply wish to bring about healing within a certain situation, either within your physical self or within your environmental circumstance. The first step would be to outline exactly what it is that you would like to accomplish. The next step is probably the most vital. You should make sure that every so called "worldly" method has been used to bring the change about. There is little point in casting great spells to make you rich if you have not first tried looking for a job. Obviously within the context of health we are looking at doctors and hospitals for example to manifest healing. The workings of modern medicine is a phenomenal human achievement and it would be foolish to dismiss it simply because it appears to be less magical than other methods. Now the healing spell you would wish to create can also work side by side with regular medicine and at the very least can relax and soften you so that healing can work behind the scenes.

The next step would be to collect meaningful correspondences that you can associate with healing. Rose quartz has always been a healing stone yet why use it if it holds no meaning for you? Even if the crystal's energy was healing in nature, it would do very little if you simply did not believe in its power. So forget all about planetary correspondences, colours and specific incenses. Instead build up your own.

Let us therefore say that clear quartz has more of a healing presence for you. Green you find calming and relaxing and the thought of the moon sends you into a deep peace. Let us also say that the scent of roses send a wave of cleanliness through you and that Beethoven's 5th symphony makes you feel vibrant, alive and healthy. You can now formulate a spell for your own healing purposes. You might, for example, hold a piece of clear quartz to your chest and light some green candles. You could have a vase of fresh roses on your altar with a painting of a clear moon on the wall behind and then visualise yourself strong and vibrant as Beethoven's symphony plays in the background. The next step, if you so wish, would be to affirm out loud using your own words of powerful just how healthy and strong and vibrant you are RIGHT NOW. This is important. We do not want to focus on when you will be healthy for your health will therefore always be seen as a future event. Instead you need to see yourself now as healthy and healed and whole. This will allow your subconscious to pick this present tense information up and through its processing allow the natural healing to unfold.

This is a very simple look at creating spells that will have meaning and purpose for you. The ritual elements that could also be applied is for another article yet follows the same principles of personal correspondences and associations. Ultimately the only tool that one needs for successful magic of any kind is the mind. This combined with the recognition of a higher power can bring about anything that you could ever possible desire or imagine.
