Why cast spells?
Well, it’s just the witchy thing to do.
When people ask me about my faith, I usually gloss over what I truly believe because many people have a certain view of witches and witchcraft. Once we get past that (if we get past it with certain folks) there is always that one person asking to cast a spell for them.
Let's first kill the stereotypes. Spells are not the hocus pocus that we see in movies. It will not be instantaneous. Spells take work, preparation, repetition, and most of all belief.
Spells are equivalent to lighting a candle and praying at church. You completed an action and asked for something. That is what a spell is. You create a spell jar, you light a candle, and/or you burn things. These actions are accompanied by words stated before, during, and/or after. So, if you look at it that way, we are all witches.
The purpose of a spell is to appeal to a deity, God, or the universe in general to help you, guide you or give you what you are asking for. It is a manipulation or guidance of the energies around you to a certain/desired result. Remember, however, things may not always work out as you intend them. So, when spellcasting it is very important to be intentional and particular with your words. Check out my post on spell crafting, here, for some help.
Your Choice...
If you choose to cast spells, remember that you may have to cast the same spell multiple times before you see or feel a change. In addition, you have to remember to put in the work. You can cast all the spells you want but if there is no action behind it, don’t expect it to work. For example, if you cast a spell to lose weight, over and over again, but you never exercise and eat badly, do expect the pounds to just melt off. Also, keep in mind that the spell, depending on your wording may have unexpected results or may occur in an undesirable way. For example, if you cast a spell for more money and you do not specify how, such as a raise, you may lose someone and get a big inheritance. So, be careful with your wording, cast often, and do the work.
Blessed be.
