Chapter 1: What is Wicca “What is Wicca?” is a large question: is it devil worship, why is there witchcraft, and what are the basic tenants of the religion? Wicca is a neopagan religion that thousands of people ascribe to throughout the world. The question of what is Wicca is a subject unto itself. This chapter will attempt to define what is Wicca, while also getting rid of a few stereotypes, dismissing some of the harmful associations attached to the religion.

What is Wicca? Wicca is a relatively new religion, with its initial conception in 1954; however, the tenants and practices of the faith are drawn from older religions. Wicca was created by Gerald Gardner (see Chapter 3) as a means of practicing neopagan witchcraft. He formed the first coven and wrote down the rituals and ceremonies. Wicca is a neopagan religion with belief in witchcraft as a tool for spiritual accomplishment. Wicca is also referred to as the Craft, a nature-oriented belief system that revolves around the worship of the Moon Goddess and the Horned God. The Wiccan is a practitioner of

magical and spiritual energies. Wicca is perhaps best described as a spiritual journey into the mysteries of the witchcraft, which can be practiced either individually or in groups called covens.

Neopagan Religions The above description might still be somewhat confusing. What exactly is a neopagan religion? Neopagan religions are based on older religious practices. However, to get a real feel of what neopagan is, it is important to understand what is meant by pagan. The word pagan has its roots in Ancient Rome. As Christianity was on the rise in the Roman Empire, the word pagan began to be used to refer to non-Christian, or rather Abrahamic, religious groups. The term continued to be used throughout history. Neopagan, thus, is a pagan religion that has resurfaced in modern society.

Basic Tenants The basic tenants of Wicca revolve around belief in magical practices, worship of the Horned God and the Moon Goddess, and it is nature oriented. These three aspects of the practice are the most important and useful in the world of Wicca. Wicca is generally a peaceful religion. The ethics of Wicca can be summed up by the Wiccan Rede, which is both a statement and a poem that supports that statement. The Wiccan Rede is divided into two different poems. The first is the Short Rede, which states, “An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Wilt”, or, “Do what you will, so long as it harms none”, in Modern English. The Long Rede is a 26-line poem that supports this same principle with the Short Rede appearing as the last line of the Long Rede.

Witchcraft Witchcraft is central to Wiccan's practice: the spells, rituals and ceremonies are passed down in secret tomes that Gardner revealed to his first coven. These teachings were suppressed by Christianity to hundreds of years. Gardner provided this information to his first coven and it spread across the English countryside and eventually America and the rest of the world. Witchcraft is the ability to make changes to reality using magical practices

and tools. These will both be described in later chapters. One of the most common incorrect beliefs is that witchcraft means Satanism. However, the Satanic Temple has a very different belief structure and it does not mix with Wicca. The magic practiced by Satanists is black magic, demonology and compulsive magic, against the Wiccan Rede.

Law of Threes Another fundamental of Wicca is the Law of Threes: whatever you put into the universe returns to you thrice over. For example, if you spread love, you will receive love back threefold. Likewise, if you put only anger or hate out, then you will receive only anger and hate back. The Law of Threes is a universal law that controls many outcomes, be they magical or not.

No Black Magic This chapter has concentrated on what Wicca is, but an important thing to understand is that there are two types of magic. They are like two sides of the same coin. On one side you have white magic. This is the magic of healing, love and positive thoughts. On the other side, you have black magic. Black magic is magic that seeks to harm others or to control others. Black witches summon evil entities and necromancy, or the magic of the dead. Wicca is only one side of the coin, the positive white magic. Black magic is practiced by Wiccans as it often causes harm, which is in opposition to the Wiccan Rede.

Chapter 2: Glossary of Terms In the context of Wicca, not all terms mean what they do in plain English. For example, the word warlock has multiple definitions in different new age religions, but when discussing Wicca, the term takes on new meanings that differ from other usages of the word. Below is a glossary of terms and definitions to make sure of the proper usage before continuing in the book. These terms will help to keep you on the same page, so to speak, for the rest of this book. Astrology: The art of studying the stars for mystical knowledge. This can be in the form of divination, horoscopes and movement of the planets, which can affect moods and other emotions. Black Magic: Magic that is used to hurt someone. It is evil. Black magic is not practiced by Wiccans. Book of Shadows: A book, often blank, that you can record your spells and notes in. You can also buy pre-made Books of Shadows that are already filled with spells. Chapter 13 of this book is a section of such spells. Candle Magic: Magic that uses candles either for their fragrance or color. For instance, red candles are often used in love spells or sex magic. In other instances, you may need a different color candle, e.g. green candles are used in prosperity spells. Chakras: Chakras are points of spiritual power. Seven chakras sit on the spine and correspond to various organs. These chakras can become blocked, which disturbs the flow of spiritual power throughout the body. Coven: A group of witches that gather together to share their magical

knowledge. Covens can range in size from a small group of 3-4 practitioners to much larger groups that may include multiple covens. Craft: A shortened version of the word witchcraft. Craft is a common phrase that also has associations with other witchcraft. Crystal Magic: Crystal magic is magic that uses crystals as sources and focuses on mental, magical and spiritual energy. Crystals are often placed at the head of the bed while sleeping. The term crystal refers to the different crystal, minerals, gems, or stones. Divination: The act of seeing or learning about the future through many different forms of magic. Divination and location magic are also known as scrying. Horned God: The male aspect of the dualistic deities found in Wicca. Love Spells: Spells that are designed to bring you to love in one of many forms. Meditation: Meditation is a process of focusing mental energy. There are several different forms of meditation to insight meditation and other forms. Meditation is very useful when casting spells as it allows you to open yourself to the inherent magic found within yourself. Moon Goddess: The female aspect of the dualistic deities found in Wicca. Tarot Cards: Tarot card is a pack of cards that are used to judge a situation, get advice, or divine the future.

The All: The All is the source from which everything flows. It is the highest form of reality. The All is divided into the male and female aspects of the dualistic deities of Wicca. Warlock: A practitioner of black magic. This is a derogatory term when used by Wiccans. In other neopaganism religions, the term warlock is the male form of a witch, so be careful not to confuse the terms. Witchcraft: The practice of performing magic. This includes all spells, rituals, and ceremonies. It also includes the use of crystal, candle, and chakra magics. Witch: A practitioner of magic. In Wicca, this refers to both male and female practitioners.

Chapter 3: History of Wicca Wicca has a strange history as an emerging religion. Gerald Gardner started the first Wiccan coven, wrote the first Book of Shadows and created the religion. Gardner had his vision for Wicca, but the religion has split into subgroups that represent different aspects of the same faith, much like Christianity has both Baptists and Lutherans, with each sub-group being different from the other sub-groups of Christianity. This chapter will detail the history of Wicca and it's spread to the United States and around the world.

Gerald Gardner

Gerald Brousseau Gardner was a British civil servant and the progenitor of Wicca. He was a traditional witch with magical training from his mother. While a civil servant, Garner was stationed in Asia where he studied Asian mysticism. Gardner claimed that he was in a pre-Wiccan coven in 1939, and he did not start Wicca until 1954. In those days, Wicca was practiced in secret because British law forbad witchcraft since it was considered a form of Satanism. The false association between Wicca and Satanism persist to this day. The prejudice is fueled by evangelical Christians who refuse to believe that Wicca is a peaceful religion that includes the Wiccan Rede to not harm

others. Gardner based Wicca on many mystical sources including traditional witchcraft, goddess worship, the Celts and their religion, and other occult and esoteric sources, like Aleister Crowley. Entering into Gardner’s coven was no easy task. The initiation and ceremonies were highly ritualized and very elaborate. Members went through a series of initiations as they grew in the coven and advanced in magical knowledge and skills. Gardner’s coven concentrated heavily on goddess worship. During this time, Gardner assembled the first Book of Shadows. The coven had many high-profile witches including the well-known high priestesses Doreen Vilente, Patrica Crowther and Eleanore Bone. These witches provided many of the foundations of modern Wicca.

The 1960s In the 1960s, Wicca began to spread across England and spread to the United States and other English-speaking countries. This led to the religion becoming much more popular, and from those other covens formed with other Wiccan leaders. This led to the rise of other Wiccan leaders including Robert Cochrane, Sybil Leek and Alex Sanders. These leaders often dismissed Gardner and his coven and instead adapted the religion to their own needs. There are five major groups of Wicca: Gardnerian, Alexandrian, Algard, Seax, and Dianic Wicca. Each of these groups practiced a slightly different version of Wicca. In 1964, the Witchcraft Research Association was created. The association began to print a magazine on witchcraft called Pentagram. Alex Sanders created Alexandrian Wicca, which became the chief rival to Gardnerian Wicca.

The 1970s and Beyond During the 1970s, there was a rise of Dianic Wicca, which is a feministinspired version of Wicca. Dianic Wicca concentrates on goddess worship, often to the exclusion of the male divine aspect. Dianic Wicca spread quickly through the Wicca community. During the 1980s and 1990s, Wicca continued to expand with a large number of practitioners in the United States. This is because Wicca was more accepted in the United States, which

displayed witchcraft in many popular mediums, including comic books, novels, movies and TV shows. These appearances of Wicca and witchcraft in popular culture changed witchcraft from a negative aspect into a more accepted and positive view. This is different from the classical negative view of witchcraft that preceded it. This led to many people becoming practitioners, without being a part of a coven. The 2000s saw an increase in the number of books and other resources about witchcraft. Today, there are a wealth of online resources for covens, solo practitioners, and people who are just interested in witchcraft.

Doreen Viliente Doreen Viliente was a British witch and is considered and often called the Mother of Modern Witchcraft. Viliente began practicing magic when she was a teen. She later joined Gardner's coven and was even initiated into it by Gardner himself. During her time in Gardner's coven, Viliente became a high priestess. After she left Gardner's coven, Viliente started her coven, but the venture was short-lived. In 1963, Viliente joined the Coven of Atho, which was Raymond Howard's coven. Viliente wrote many books and articles on witchcraft and was the first to suggest that practitioners do not need to be initiated in a coven to call themselves Wiccan. Viliente's books include The Witches Rune and Charge of the Goddess.

Alex Sanders Alex Sanders was a British witch that rose to prominence in the 1960s. Sanders was a hereditary witch who was first taught magic by his mother. Sanders was initiated into Gardner's coven, however, there were many points of contention between the two and Sanders went on to form his coven. Sanders went on to marry Maxine Sanders and the two were called the "King and Queen of Witches". Alexandrian Wicca grew into a large network of witches and covens. Alexandrian Wicca differed from Gardnerian Wicca because it introduced several new aspects, like Qabalah mysticism, JudeoChristian iconography and many new ceremonies. Sanders also opened the door for homosexual men to be included in Wicca due to Sanders being bisexual.

Chapter 4: Becoming a Wiccan Becoming a Wiccan can be a daunting task, from structuring your life, accepting new deities, and practicing magic. Being Wiccan means that there is a certain level of prejudice against practitioners. This chapter will outline how to become a Wiccan, the journey and the prejudices that you may face.

Getting Started You have already taken the first step toward becoming Wiccan by reading this book. The next and easiest way to begin your journey is to join a coven. Covens generally have a High Priest or Priestess that can guide you through learning the ceremonies, rituals and magic of the Wiccan tradition. Alternately, you can either read other books like this one or do Internet research to learn more. However, joining a coven is the best way to know that you are learning the correct information. It is best to get hands-on experience with a coven because it is easier to learn about Wicca when you have a direct transmission of the wisdom from a teacher. Some covens require that there is a period of initiation while the student learns about the traditions, concepts, esoteric knowledge and other practices.

Organizational Structure There is no central religious authority in the Wiccan religion. This lack of hierarchy is useful because each coven can have a specific hierarchy. Some covens have a very rigid structure, specifically in Gardnerian traditions, with a clear leader. However, other covens are loosely structured and maybe more communal in leadership. These organizational structures or lack thereof makes each coven inherently different. This is part of the reason why it is easier to learn Wicca under the tutelage of an advanced practitioner. By learning directly from an advanced practitioner, you learn all of the customs and culture of the specific coven that you are joining. Most Wiccan covens are small groups with less than 20 members, but they may also participate in the larger gathering during the solstice. The term

coven is a generic term used in many neopaganism or witchcraft religions. The term is used in Wicca to refer to their groups where like-minded witches worship, practice magic, perform ceremonies and discuss witchcraft in general and in detail. Some covens require new initiates to go through an initiation ceremony or process where he or she learns about Wicca from the various priests and priestesses.

The Journey One of the best ways to learn about Wicca is to read books like this one, which will allow you to gain knowledge on religion without fully committing to joining a religion. You should make sure that Wicca is right for you before becoming Wiccan. It is important to understand what you are doing before joining a coven. The good news is that you have already taken the first step by reading this book. Using this method, you can begin learning about the various aspects of religion. Once you have studied and read books like this one and have a good general understanding of the basic tenets and philosophies, it is time to begin meeting other Wiccans. Even if you plan to be a solo practitioner, it can be useful to be part of a network of witches. Such groups can allow you to further understand the large concepts in Wicca. Networking with other witches also allows you to find the specific type of Wicca you are looking for. For instance, you may be looking for an Alexandrian coven. After reading this book, you will be armed with the information you need to make informed decisions about the groups you associate with. The next step is to begin worshiping the Goddess and God of Wicca. You must begin to worship them to enter the strange and wonderful world of Wicca. The divine entities of Wicca are two separate beings, one that is a goddess and the other that is a masculine god. Both the masculine and feminine gods have had many versions and aspects over human history. For example, the feminine aspect can be the Triple Goddess, the Moon Goddess, or a nature goddess. On the other hand, the male aspect is the Horned God or many other incarnations. There is more on Wiccan divinity in Chapter 5.

Changing Your Life

Once you become a Wiccan, you will almost immediately see changes in your life. You will find that you are happier and that the illusions of society begin to fade, so that you can see things clearly without any obstruction. As you learn more about Wicca, this will increase until you can look at things without the illusion. As the Goddess and God become a larger part of your life, you will find a personal relationship with him and/or her. Magic will also touch your life. You will be amazed at how pervasive magic is. You can use it at home, in your social life and even at work. The different spells have different uses and many are so simple that you can do them anywhere.

Prejudices You May Face As discussed elsewhere in this book, there are some serious efforts to suppress witchcraft traditions in the United States. The main group that actively persecutes witches is evangelical Christians. This group sees witchcraft as a form of Satanism and therefore they take action against witches. This mostly comes from a lack of understanding of Wicca and its tenets. This and other groups may attempt to stop you from worshipping the Goddess and God. No amount of education will sway these people because they believe that magic is inherently evil. Overcoming this prejudice is one of the main things you will need to do to fully become a Wiccan. The biggest group that is persecuted is young women, however, persecution can happen with your families or at work. Because Wicca and neopagan religions are a minority, they are persecuted by other much more established religions.

Chapter 5: Gods and Goddesses

Wicca is a pantheistic religion. There are many gods and goddesses that are associated with Wicca and other ancient religions. This is due to the fact that many gods and goddesses are paired together in many ancient religions, ranging from Mesopotamia and Greek mythology. These various deities stand for the two aspects of the divine. They are the God and the Goddess, and these various historical gods and goddesses are present in most ancient religions. This chapter will detail many of these gods and goddesses. After reading this chapter, you will understand the various aspects of the gods and goddesses as well as having an understanding of Dryghten who is also referred to as the Prime Mover.

Reincarnation One important aspect of Wiccan divinity is that, just like many Eastern

religions - such as Hinduism or Buddhism - it has the belief that people are reincarnated time and time again. This belief is descended from Celtic religion. The Celts believed that everyone comes back from life to life.

Dryghten The place to start with Wiccan deities is with Dryghten, and Old English word that stands for "Lord", the Prime Mover. Some Wiccans believe there is a supernatural deity that stands behind the god and goddess. This entity is referred to as Dryghten, but he is also known as the All, the One or the Prime Mover. This entity is beyond gender and it stands behind and controls the Horned God and the Moon Goddess. This entity often appears in Gardnerian Wicca, and it has roots in other mystic religions. For instance, the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus of the Hermetic Traditions have a similar supreme being referred to as the ALL.

The Moon Goddess The female half is the Goddess - a nature entity associated with nature, the moon and the magic. The Goddess is a powerful entity that has many different forms. The Goddess appears in many ancient religions and mythologies, which include Inana, Ishtar and Astarte, among others. The Goddess has many different forms. They include the moon goddess, the nature goddess and the three-in-one goddess. Each of these are slightly different aspects of the same entity. The Goddess represents fertility, birth, magic and nature. The Goddess is split into three aspects, formerly the Moon Goddess and the Three-in-One. The Three-in-One, also called the Triple goddess, has three different forms: the Maiden, Mother and Crone. The threeforms are represented in the Morrigan with a different goddess representing the different phases of life. Each aspect represents a different time period in a woman's life.

The Horned God The Horned God is the male half. He is known by several names including Dumuzi and Dagda. The Horned God is often depicted as a man with horns

like an antler or deer extending from his head. Sometimes, he is depicted as an anthropomorphic beast-man with a goat's head with horns. The third way that the male god is represented is by the Green Man. The Green Man is a creature made of vegetation that has its roots in ancient Celtic mythology. Like the Goddess, the Horned God also has three-forms based on the phases of life. These include the youth or warrior, the father and the sage. Youth or warrior represents the early life of a man, where the father is the middle-aged man and the sage is the elder man. The Horned God is typically a vegetable or a vegetation god. These gods exist in many different mythologies and pantheons, from ancient Sumerian mythology to the Roman gods. The Horned God is also often referred to as the Holly King and the Oak King, depending on what season you are in. Each year at Solstice, the Holly King and the Oak King battle and the one whose season it is becomes the victor.

Pagan Gods and Goddesses The pagan gods and goddesses have gone by many names throughout mythology and religions. This sequence of a vegetation god and a fertility goddess goes back to ancient Sumer and before civilization started, when humankind meant wandering hunter-gatherers. Below are entries for several goddesses and gods. Each entry details the god or goddesses title, gender, consort, aspects, origin, the period of worship and a brief description of the deity. Since many Wiccans have a personal or patron deity, it is easy to start here. The major gods and goddesses from mythology and religions are listed below.

Astarte

Title: Star Gender: Female Consort: Baal Aspects: Fertility, sexuality, and war Origin: Canaanite (Western Semitic) Period of Worship: 1500 BC to 200 BC Astarte is the Canaanite deity of fertility, sex and war. Astarte is also known as Aštoreth. She represents war and the evening star. Astarte is the consort of Baal, the Canaanite vegetable god. Astarte is associated with the Inana and Ishtar linage and with the Greek goddess, Aphrodite.

Baal Title: Lord Gender: Male Consort: Astarte Aspects: Vegetation and national god Origin: Canaanite (Western Semitic) Period of Worship: 2000 BC to 200 BC

Baal is the king of the Canaanite gods. He is a god of unrest and disorder, as well as a god of vegetation. Baal was worshiped in ancient Canaan, which would later become known as Israel. Baal was the chief entity of the Canaanite pantheon. Baal’s consort is Astarte - a fertility goddess. Baal is a vegetable god who looks over the harvest, but began as a rain and storm god and then evolved into a vegetable god.

Ceres Title: Mother Goddess Gender: Female Consort: Jupiter Aspects: Birth, fertility, and vegetation Origin: Roman Period of Worship: 400 BC to 400 AD Ceres is the Roman goddess of birth, fertility and vegetation, and is referred to as the mother of the gods. Ceres is one of several consorts of Jupiter and is the mother of Kore, who was abducted by Pluto. She spends half the year in the underworld with Pluto. Ceres is a goddess of vegetation and nature.

Dagda

Title: The Good God Gender: Male Consort: Morrigan Aspects: No specific role in the pantheon Origin: Celtic (Irish) Period of Worship: Prehistoric to 400 AD Dagda is a god in the Irish Celtic pantheon. He mates with Morrigan from the Morrigana once a year to ensure prosperity in the harvest and to the Irish people. Dagda has no specific role to play in the Irish Celtic pantheon, but he is associated with the "rising and falling" motif that often appears with the Horned God. The rising and falling are associated with a god that both spends time in the mortal and celestial realms, as well as the underworld, with Dagda being reborn each year.

Dumuzi Title: None Gender: Male Consort: Inana Aspects: Shepard, vegetation, underworld Origin: Sumerian Period of Worship: 3500 BC or earlier to 200 BC Dumuzi is the first in a long line of "dying and rising" gods. This is also referred to as “rising and falling”. He dies each winter and is reborn in summer. Dumuzi was the lover of Inana and was popular during the Sumerian and Mesopotamian times. Dumuzi is a vegetable and nature god.

Eostre Title: None Gender: Female Consort: Unknown Aspects: Fertility and spring Origin: Anglo-Saxon Period of Worship: Unknown Eostre is the Anglo-Saxon goddess of fertility. Her name is carried over in the Christian holiday of Easter. She is in the same mythological lineage as Ishtar and Inana. She was a goddess of fertility and reproduction. Eggs and rabbits are holdovers in Easter from her worship, which included both. Not much is known about her. When the Christians invaded England, they attempted to completely eradicate the pagan gods that the Anglo-Saxons worshipped. Because of this, little is known about Eostre or her unnamed consort.

Inana Title: Queen of Heaven Gender: Female Consort: Dumuzi Aspects: Fertility, nature, and war. Origin: Sumerian Period of Worship: 3500 BC to 1750 BC Inana is the Queen of Heaven of the Sumerian pantheon. Like many other of the mythological goddesses, Inana is a fertility, nature and war goddess. Inana is likely to be a prehistoric goddess who existed before she was attributed to the Sumerian pantheon. Inana was worshipped throughout Sumer, but specifically in her temple, in the city of Ur. Her temple was populated by priestesses and temple prostitutes.

Ishtar Title: Star of Heaven Gender: Female Consort: Tammuz Aspects: Fertility and war Origin: Mesopotamian (Babylonian) Period of Worship: 2500 BC to 200 AD Ishtar is perhaps the most recognizable goddess detailed here. She is also known as Ištar. Ishtar appears in the Mesopotamian and Babylonian pantheons. She is the Mesopotamian version of Inanaa and the goddess of war and fertility, and she is often represented by small clay idols. Like many of the pagan goddesses, Ishtar is a war and fertility goddess. She is the personification of both sex and birth. Her lover is Tammuz, who is a rising and falling vegetable god. When she is the war aspect, she carries a weapon that is part mace and part sword. Worship of the goddess Ishtar spread across the ancient world. She was worshipped as far away as ancient Egypt, where

she was revered as a healing goddess. Ishtar is so well known because she has appeared in many comic books and other media, such as movies and literature. Ishtar entered popular culture and has appeared in such works as Conan the Barbarian novels and comic books.

Jupiter Title: Father of the Gods Gender: Male Consort: Ceres Aspects: Bright light and day Origin: Roman Period of Worship: 400 BC to 400 AD Jupiter is the Roman father and king of the gods. Like Baal, Jupiter is chief of the Roman gods and goddesses and is a storm god. Jupiter is described in Roman mythology as throwing lightning bolts from his position in the sky. His aspects include bright light and daytime. Jupiter is a very powerful deity and he has many lovers. One of those lovers is Ceres, the fertility goddess, and mother of the gods. Unlike other pagan gods, Jupiter is not a rising or falling god. He does not die during part of the year and being reborn for part of the year, instead, he has his form all year long.

Morrigan

Title: Three-in-One, Triple Goddess Gender: Female Consort: Dagda Aspects: War, fertility, and vegetation Origin: Celtic (Irish) Period of Worship: Prehistoric to 400 AD The Three-in-One goddess has three different forms: the Maiden, Mother and Crone. Each one is a moment in a woman's lifetime. The three are also represented as the goddesses Morrigan, Nemain, and Badb Catha. Morrigan is primarily being associated with nature and fertility, while Nemain and Badb represent more warlike qualities. Morrigan mates with Dagda once a year to renew prosperity every Samhain, which is a Celtic holiday and is celebrated in the modern-day as Halloween.

Tammuz Title: None Gender: Male Consort: Ishtar Aspects: Vegetation and the underworld Origin: Mesopotamian (Babylonian) Period of Worship: 2500 BC to 200 AD Tammuz is the lover of Ishtar and is a vegetation and underworld god. He was worshipped mainly during the Mesopotamian and Babylonian periods. Tammuz is a direct descendent of Dumuzi, the Sumerian god that he has patterned after. Tammuz is a vegetable and the god of the underworld. Tammuz is the lover of Ishtar, who is the fertility and war goddess of the Mesopotamian pantheon. Unlike Ishtar, Tammuz does not have an additional title, but he is one of the rising and falling gods, as he spends time in the underworld each year and then returns to the world of the gods each summer.

Chapter 6: Magical Practices There are many different magical practices that Wiccans engage in. These range from astral travel to understanding chakras. Some of the more advanced techniques have additional chapters devoted to them. This chapter will attempt to give a brief overview of the various Wiccan practices. These practices include various forms of magic and more.

Animal Guide Animal guides are animals or the spirits of animals that come to you, often in meditative states or in trances, to guide you. This is similar to the practice of many Native Americans. Animal guides can range from simple creatures, like a fish or a cat. Mythological creatures can also be animal guides. For instance, if you are born in the Chinese Year of the Dragon, you may have a dragon as your animal guide. Other mythological creatures that can be animal guides are basilisks, which are reptiles that can freeze people into stone with their gaze. This is very similar to Medusa, from the Greek mythology.

Astral Travel Astral travel is when your spirit leaves your body and begins traveling on the astral plane, to another reality. The astral plane is a place of spirit and the mind and is a wondrous world filled with many strange things. Living people who venture into the astral plane are connected to their body by a golden or white cord. If the cord becomes cut, your spirit’s connection to your body ends and the physical body will either die or become a brain-dead vegetable. The inhabitants of the astral plane are generally sprits, ghosts, celestial, and hellish creatures. The inhabitants generally have no body to return to. To achieve the state needed for astral travel, you must either meditate or enter into a trance by another means such as hypnosis. Once in this state, you can separate your spirit from your body and enter the astral plane. It is a good habit to have another person watch over your body while you are traveling on the astral plane. Once you enter the astral plane, you can return to your body

by following the cord back to where you entered the astral plane at.

Astrology Astrology is the study of the positions of celestial bodies. These impact our lives in the form of horoscopes and the zodiac. Using astrology as a practice, not only can the movements of the stars divine the future, but they can also predict things about your personality and other information about your life, based on where and when you were born. Everyone has a unique relationship with the stars and this is revealed in the form of the zodiac signs. Everyone has a different sign and many witches can do a full numerological study based on the time and date that you were born, which is a more in-depth reading based on the exact position of the stars when you were born. Alternatively, there are other zodiacs. For instance, in the Chinese zodiac, each year is associated with an animal, either real or mythological.

Candle Magic Candle magic is one of the most useful avenues for practicing magic. Candle magic provides not only a focus for the spell, but the aroma can also have magical effects. The places where candles are placed is important too: for instance, in many spells, you have a magical circle. A common practice is to place a candle in each of the five points of a pentagram. By placing candles in this matter, you can use them to power your spells. Chapter 9 deals with candle magic in more detail.

Chakras Chakras are points of mental and spiritual power found along the spine of a person. These seven points are depicted as different circular icons. The chakras are found on seven spots. Each one corresponds to different mental states and related organs. For example, the Heart Chakra is centered over the heart. For more information about Chakras, see Chapter 12.

Crystal Magic

Crystal magic is magic that is done using crystals as mental and magical focuses. They can be incorporated into spells as well. Different types of crystals have different uses. Crystal magic and the effects of various crystals and minerals will be described in more detail in Chapter 9.

Divination Divination is the art of seeing the future. You can do divination in several different manners. For instance, you can divine the future with rune stones, tarot cards and dream magic. You can even divine the future by looking at the tea leaves after you drink tea. Since there are so many different forms of divination, how you choose to divine is based on your personal preference. Several methods of divination will be discussed in the following chapters.

Dream Magic Dream magic is magic that centers around dreams and dream-like states. This includes entering the dreams of others as well as manipulating your own dreams. Dream magic can be used for divination of the future. Dream magic is very powerful, but it can also corrupt those that are not careful.

Herbalism Many witches are not just spell casters, but they also know something about the uses of certain herbs and potions. When witches understand herbalism, he or she can often help people who are ill. Herbalism doesn't just have to do with healing. Many herbs can be used during spell casting to enhance the effects. Often witches will brew special potions that have different effects for different types of spells.

Runestones Runestones are stones engraved with a different rune from the Futhorc - a runic alphabet, the precursor of English. Runestones are used as a method for performing divination: you throw them out and the place where they land determines the interpretation of the runes. Not only is the location of the stones important, but also their direction.

Tarot Cards Tarot cards are pack of cards used for reading. In a typical reading, the witch shuffles the cards and has the person getting the reading to either choose cards from the deck. Sometimes, the top card is revealed. Each is laid out according to various reading techniques. The heart of all things tarot is that the person getting the reading has a central question. By focusing on these questions, the cards will align accordingly. There is more information about tarot cards in Chapter 10.

Chapter 7: Magical Tools When you are practicing magic, is very useful to have various magical tools available. These tools make magic easier to do. These tools include many items ranging from alters and cauldrons to jewelry. Each tool has different uses in the various forms of magic and spells. The tools are divided into two groups, major magical items, and minor tools. This chapter will discuss the various magical tools and their uses. Many tools are used in Wiccan rituals and ceremonies. This chapter will also give information about how you can consecrate your tools before you use them, which is an important step as consecrating them will make the tools more powerful and useful when casting spells.

Consecrating Magical Tools Before you begin using your magical tools in your own rituals, ceremonies, and magic, you need to consecrate them. Consecrating your items makes them more powerful and enables them to help you in different spells, rituals, and ceremonies. Consecrating does just prepare the item for use. It can also allow the witch to bond with the item. This forms a strong connection between the witch and the tool. Bonding with an item allows you to easily use it as a focus for your magic. The close connection between you and your tools makes you more formidable when practicing magic or engaging in ceremonies. In Gardner’s Book of Shadows, there is an entire chapter on the subject. Below is a simple way to consecrate your items. Follow the below steps to consecrate your tools: 1. Create a magic circle (see Chapter 13). 2. Place a paten (see below) in the middle of the circle. 3. Place each tool on the paten. 4. Sprinkle water and salt on the item. 5. Pass the item through some incense.

6. Repeat the following incantation: Oh, Inana and Dumuzi, I give you this tool to you to bless. Touch it with your virtue and give it to my hand in glory. Bless this item with your love and honor.

Major Tools Magical tools are divided into two categories. They are major tools and minor tools. Major or primary tools are the ones that are most useful in spells and thus appear more often. Excluding the alter, each of the major tools is associated with a tarot card suit and the four elements. Below is are descriptions of all of the major tools.

Alter While technically not a major tool, the alter is an important tool for the witch. The alter is a spot that is devoted either to all of the pagan gods and goddesses or if you have a personal or patron deity, then it should be devoted to that specific deity. Alters are often adorned with clay idols, incense, candles, and other magical items. Another item that is often found on altars is pictures of the various pagan deities. Alters can be used to become close to the Goddess and the God of Wicca. A close relationship with the various deities will empower your magic.

Cups or Chalice Element: Water Cups or chalices are one of the primary or major tools of Wicca. It corresponds to the tarot suit of Cups and represents the element of water. Chalices represent several different things including as a metaphor for the womb of the Goddess as well as water and water’s attributes in terms of magic. For instance, water can represent intellectualism and the mind. Chalices that are used in magic and rituals are often filled with wine.

Pentacle or Paten Element: Earth A pentacle or paten is a symbol of a five-pointed star. Pentagrams that are upside form of the star, while pentacles are when the circle is right side up with the one point at the top of the symbol. Despite popular opinion, a pentacle is not a strictly a Satanic symbol as it is used in many neopagan religions including Wicca. The pentacle or paten is a source of protection from the various spirits and entities you may interact with while performing magic. You can further add to the power of a pentacle by carving or placing things at the points of the star. Simple use of the pentagram is to trap such spirits in magical circles so they cannot attack you. Pentacles not only protect various magics and spirits, but they are also associated with the element of earth. Thus, when using a pentacle outdoors, it often gains a touch more magical energy than it does when indoors. Pentacles are also used for blessings as well as protection.

Sword or Knife Element: Fire Swords or knives are used to represent the element of fire and is used to direct magical power when making a magic circle or using it to direct energy in rituals and ceremonies. These ritual tools are often referred to as an athame or ritual dagger are useful in casting various spells, including love and sex magic. The most common form of the athame is a knife with a black blade. This tool is very useful for spellcasting, but it is also a source of conflict within the Wiccan community. Gardnerian Wicca introduced the ritual item, but other Wiccans feel it has no place in the community as it can be seen as a weapon, and according to the Wiccan Rede, the Wiccan should harm no one so there is no need for a ritual athame. The ritual sword or knife should not be confused with similar items from other neopagan religions. For example, Hermetic traditions use a ritual dagger but they have yellow handles. Hermetic daggers represent air instead of fire, so the basic use of the device is different and determined by the neopagan group you join.

Wand Element: Air The last major tool is the wand. Wands represent the element of air and are used to summon spirits and other entities that the athame is unable to summon. Wands can be made of most materials including woods and metals. Many Wiccan wands are adorned with various stones and gems. These items enhance the power of the wand and make the item far more potent. The gems should be set into the wand before the consecration process.

Minor Tools Not only are there major tools available to the witch, but there is also a wealth of minor items. These minor items are not as powerful as the primary tools, however, they do have many uses. They include things like cauldrons and jewelry. Below are descriptions of those various minor items. Besom: Besoms are ritual brooms that witches use in rituals and ceremonies. The myth of witches riding broomsticks has its origin in besoms. The besom is used in handfasting ceremonies and as a phallus used in ritual seasonal dances. In handfasting ceremonies, which are unions between two neopagans in a marriage-like relationship, the couple jumps over the besom together. Boline: Boline are knives with white handles, which are often curved. The boline is used in common tasks like carving sigils and symbols on candles or cutting herbs. The boline is used in tasks that are too dirty or messy to use the athame for. Cauldron: Cauldrons are large pots, typically made of cast iron, that are used to brew potions and for use in spells. Cauldrons are used to make mixtures that can be used for a variety of purposes.

Censer: A censer is used to hold incense. Cingulum: Cingulum are cords that initiates wear to show their rank in the group. Incense: Incense creates very fragrant clouds of gas. Incense has been used as a method of both holy and magical implications. It is often used as an offering, and because of the fragrance, can be focusing or calming element when you are casting spells. Jewelry: Jewelry that bears certain arcane symbols are often used during rituals as a way to harness the mystical energy. Jewelry is also worn to show affiliation to a coven of witches. It can also serve the function of everyday jewelry if you want a part of magic always with you. However, be aware that wearing jewelry that marks you as a witch. If revealed as such you may encounter prejudice. Smudge Stick: Smudge sticks are sticks of various herbs that are bound together. Wiccans use smudge sticks to create wards (protections) for their home or other space. It can also be used to protect and drive off evil spirits. Stang: A stang is a long wooden staff. The staff either has a natural fork in the branches or has two antlers attached to it. The stang represents the Horned God because it has the antlers. The stang can be used as a movable alter for the Horned God. It also can be used in directing magical energies and helping with spiritual energies.

Chapter 8: Meditation Meditation is a practice that is used in many religions worldwide from Buddhism and Hinduism to Wicca and other neopagan religions. Meditation is a technique for calming the mind and finding wisdom as well as accumulating magical energy. Meditation is used to find spiritual peace. This chapter will describe multiple meditation techniques and how they are used in Wicca. There is a lot of jargon around meditations, specifically those techniques taken from Eastern religions such as Buddhism. Instead of discussing the confusing jargon, this chapter will attempt to describe the techniques without making them too difficult to understand.

Types of Meditation There are three general types of meditation. They include calming, insight, and concentration meditation. Each of these represents a slightly different type of meditation. All of the methods are linked with certain traits such as deep breathing. Each of these methods is done for different reasons. For example, if you want to enter a trance-like state, perhaps for astral travel, then you can use calming meditation techniques to prepare your mind for the trance. If you are attempting insight meditation, then the goal is to have a discovery about yourself and your relationship to magic. Concentration meditation, on the other hand, requires you to concentrate on something to the exclusion of other senses. You can concentrate on many things, such as a magical tool, a spell, or another item. Each of these techniques will be detailed below.

Deep Breathing The one constant for every form of meditation is deep breathing. Deep breathing is when you inhale until your lungs are full of air, and then breathing the air out. This type of breathing increases the amount of oxygen that makes it to your brain as well as having a general calming effect.

Mantras Many forms of meditation require you to repeat a mantra. The idea is that the mantra is a powerful and wise phrase that can empower both you and your spells. Mantras are generally words of wisdom that you can repeat to yourself so that you gain the wisdom yourself. Mantras often become personal with you always repeating the same one. The easiest way to get a mantra is to work with a high priest or priestess. He or she will know which mantra will work best for you. If you are a solo practitioner or otherwise do not have access to a high priest or priestess, you can read books on meditation or other books on Wicca. Once you locate your mantra by whatever means works for you, you can begin repeating it. When chanting a mantra, you repeat it over and over again until you have said it enough time. While it is not strictly speaking a Wiccan tool, you can keep track of how many times you have repeated the chant, each time moving your hand to the next bead until you have said it many times.

Calming Meditation Anyone can do calming meditation at any time. You can do it by simply closing your eyes and breathing deeply. There are many scripts and guided meditations for relaxation meditation. Essentially you can meditate while concentrating on your breath. It is also useful to count your breaths. You can do this by counting each time you breathe in and out. Different methods have different breath patterns. For example, one method requires you to breathe in for four seconds, then exhale for four seconds, and repeating that process. Another practice taken from Zen Buddhism is to count each breath counting from 1 to 10. When starting out, you should try a variety of breath techniques until you find one that works for you. Next, you should imagine yourself floating away from your body. Each time you have a thought, you should put it on a leaf and allow it to float away.

Insight Meditation Insight meditation is when you meditate with the intent of solving a problem or having a revelation. While it has a lot in common with calming meditation and also has a calming effect, that is not the intent behind insight meditation.

Instead with insight meditation, you are attempting to learn wisdom by sitting down. In insight meditation, you are seeking a revelation or wisdom. Unlike calming meditation, the idea behind insight meditation is to stop thinking so that you can observe the universe in a singular state. While the practice takes a lot of work, the method is relatively easy to learn. First, sit in a lotus position or cross-legged with your back straight. Next, begin to breathe deeply. Count your breaths from 1 to 10. Whenever you have a thought, recognize it, and then return to concentrating on the breath. When you encounter a thought, let it pass and return to concentrating on the breath. Repeat this process until you have meditated for your desired length of time. A good starting time length is around five minutes. Also, it is not important for you to meditate longer as it is to do it for shorter periods more often. Mantras are often used in conjunction with insight meditation. Practitioners often chant mantras just before starting to meditate.

Concentration Meditation The last major form of meditation is concentration meditation where you concentrate on an object, idea, or spell while you are meditating. Concentration meditation is good for gathering magical energies, healing magic, increasing the power of a magical tool, and for casting protection spells. When doing concentration meditation, you breathe deeply, but instead of counting breaths, you attempt to hold the idea, spell, or object in your mind. You can concentrate as deeply you can on the target of your concentration. Practitioners often combine concentration meditation with mantras. In this form of meditation, you chant your mantra as you concentrate on the object of your meditation. This can be done with simple items like your magical tools or more complex things like spells. While you meditate for your desired length of time, simply attempt to hold the object in your mind. If you notice yourself thinking of something else, return your mind to the object. Using prayer beads can help you keep track of how long you meditate without having to set a timer with an alarm.

Chapter 9: Candle Magic Candle magic is a very powerful way to enhance your spells. Candles can be placed on altars or magic circles. You can even trap energy in a candle that is released as it burns. This chapter will discuss the process for candle magic, the meaning of different colors and how to incorporate candle magic into your life.

Safety First The first thing to remember about candle magic is to be safe: candles require being lit to be useful in spells, so, you need to be prepared. Candles can have a meltdown and also can cause fires. Fire can be very violent and leave destruction in their wake. Allowing a fire to burn would be against the Wiccan Rede, as it will cause damage and likely cost someone money. Because of this, you should always have a fire extinguisher or a source of water available in case of emergencies.

Steps in Candle Magic There are a few steps that you need to follow to use candles in your spells. Like magical tools that have to be consecrated, the candle must be prepared. This includes rubbing it with oils and - on occasion - carving magical symbols into the candle or treating it with herbs. Each of these steps is important in practicing candle magic. The steps are each outlined and described below.

Steps 1: Determine Your Goal The first thing that you should start with is to determine what you want the spell to do. What is the desired outcome? Another thing that you should remember is, "Is the spell likely to be successful?". This essentially means that the spell should have a realistic goal. Casting spells for things like becoming famous or becoming a millionaire will require many spells to be

successful over a period of time that might be quite long. For example, you may need to cast a series of spells over six or seven years to gain a significant amount of money or fame.

Steps 2: Design Your Spell The next thing to do to cast your spell is you have to design your spell. Of course, if you are using a pre-written spell - like the ones in Book of Shadows found in Chapter 13 - it has information about how to design and make your own spells. Reference Chapter 13 when you want to make a new spell.

Steps 3: Collect Your Components The next thing you need to do is to use candle magic is to collect the components you will need in order to use the candle. These other components include but are not limited to the following: ∙ Patchouli Oil - This oil is associated with prosperity and overcoming difficulties. ∙ Dragon’s Blood - Dragon blood’s resin is associated with giving spells power. ∙ A new gold candle holder - Gold candle holder represent wealth. The candle holder can be painted gold, it does not need to be specifically made of the precious metal of gold. ∙ A new candle - Candles should not already be used before using in spells. Used candles carry old energies that might conflict with your desired outcome. ∙ Ground Cinnamon - Ground cinnamon is associated with gaining wealth. ∙ Ground Ginger - Ground ginger is used to speed up how quickly the spell has its effects occur.

Steps 4: Choose Which Candle You can use any types of candle in your spells. The shape does not have a meaning in the spellcasting, so the candle you choose to use is really up to personal preference. You might find that tapers are easier for you to use or

you might find shorter fatter candles work best for you.

Steps 5: Choose a Color The next step is to choose which color you want your candle to be. You should use a candle that corresponds to the outcome of your spell. Below is a list of colors of candles and the magical associations with those colors. Color Color Meanings The Goddess, purity, virginity, peace, or it can be substituted for any White other color. Black Shapeshifting, protection, binding and repels negativity. Brown Influence friendships. The Goddess, female energy, clairvoyance, dreams, astral energy Silver and telepathy. Third eye, hidden knowledge, spiritual power, psychic ability and Purple the ability to influence people who are in high places. Wisdom, elemental water, calm, spiritual inspiration, protection and Blue good fortune. Elemental earth, monetary success, growth, tree and plant magic and Green physic healing. Pink Romance, caring, affection, planetary goodwill and nurturing. Elemental Fire, strength, lust, survival, career goals, fast action and Red blood of the moon. Orange Legal matters, general success, justice, selling and property deals. Money goals, professional growth, passion, business fertility and Copper career maneuvers. Gold The God, male energy, happiness and to promote winning. Elemental air, the sun, accelerated learning, memory, intelligence Yellow and the ability to break mental blocks.

Step 6: Dress the Candle The next step is to dress the candle, which means that you carve magical symbols and glyphs into the candle. To dress a candle, follow these

instructions: 1. The first step is to rub it with oil. You should use an oil that is linked to the spell you want to cast. There is no specific way to rub the oil on the candle. You can rub it from the top to the bottom or bottom to top. It is up to personal preference in how you rub the candle. 2. The next step is to visualize your intent. Concentrate on letting your magical energy enter the candle. Concentrate on the candle for several minutes until it is filled with magical energy. 3. Next, let the candle gain more magical energy from you until it is fully charged. 4. Optionally, you can take an additional step to rub the candle with herbs or carve runes or other sigils to add additional power to your spell.

Step 7: Cast the Spell Next, you should cast the spell itself. See Chapter 13 for information on how to cast spells.

Step 8: Let the Candle Burn Let the candle burn down until it burns out. Depending on the candle, this may take some time, but you always need to let the candle burn itself out so that all of the energy is released.

Step 9: Bury the Candle Finally, take the remnants of the candle and bury them in the earth. This lays the candle to rest, so that it cannot be used again.

Chapter 10: Tarot Cards Tarot cards are an important tool in the magician or witch’s arsenal. Tarot cards allow you to ask questions, though sometimes the answer is vague and you must meditate on it. Tarot cards also allow you to use divination in order to get information about the future. Getting hints of your fate so that you can be prepared for what is to come. You can also use tarot cards to get answers to a variety of questions. The cards are magically charged by the witch giving the tarot card reading. The magical energy guides the right cards to be revealed in the right order. Cards can either be upright or they can be reversed (upside down). When a card is reversed, the meaning changes and is generally the opposite of the meaning of an upright card. Where the card appears in the spread also gives it meaning. This chapter will describe all of the tarot cards, including both the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. It will also give you information about the types of spreads and the elemental connection to the cards.

Major Arcana Tarot decks are divided into two parts. The first is the Major Arcana. There are 22 Major Arcana cards found in the tarot deck. The Major Arcana are more powerful cards than the cards found in the four suits, which is why there are fewer of them in the deck. Each card of the Major Arcana is specific and there is only one found in the deck. These cards represent large or complex ideas. As stated before, Major Arcana cards are extremely powerful.

Minor Arcana The Minor Arcana are the cards that are found in a suit. Tarot card decks include 56 Minor Arcana cards. The Minor Arcana are considered less powerful than the Major Arcana, but most readings will generally have significantly more Minor Arcana cards than Major Arcana. Hence, while they are less powerful, the Minor Arcana cards are the heart of every tarot card reading. Like the Major Arcana, each of the Minor Arcana cards has a specific meaning. See further in this chapter for information the meaning of

each card in the deck. Each suit has the following cards included: ace, two through ten, page, knight, queen, and king.

Spreads A spread is a way that the cards are laid out on the table. There are many different spreads, but many of these are variations on the Three Card spread, depending on the reading. These include, but is not limited to: ∙ Three Card Spread ∙ Celtic Cross ∙ True Love Spread ∙ Success Spread ∙ Spiritual Guidance Spread ∙ Career Path Spread Typically the witch spreads the cards in front of the person getting the reading. The person then chooses several cards, whose exact amount depends on which spread is being used, and the witch keeps track of which card was picked in which order. The witch then spreads the cards in front of the person in a certain pattern. Each card is different in each different position. There are many types of spreads, but this book will only cover two of the most common spreads. They are the Three Card and the Celtic Cross spreads. Each of these spreads uses a different number of cards and each position in each spread also adds to the meaning.

Three Card The easiest spread is the Three Card spread. With this spread, the person getting the reading should choose three cards. The cards are laid out face down in the order in which they were picked. As the witch interprets the cards, he or she flips the cards each up in the order they were picked. Unlike other spreads, the specific place of the card does not have a fixed meaning. Instead, the cards are more fluid. There are several ways to view the Three Card spread. For instance, each card might represent a time like past, present and future. Another possible meaning for the spread is you, your partner and your relationship. When the witch turns the cards up, he or she uses these

fluid spreads to answer a wide range of questions. It is very common to use the first two as the question and the third card as the resolution of the question. One thing to keep in mind is that while the Three Card method only uses three cards and is the simplest spread, it is also the most dynamic, because the spread allows more freedom in the interpretation. This is one of the reasons that the Three Card spread is among the most popular spreads.

Celtic Cross The Celtic Cross spread uses more cards than the Three Card spread. With the Celtic Cross spread, the person getting the reading chooses ten cards. The witch keeps these cards in order and then lays them out in different positions. With the Celtic Cross, you lay the cards in the following positions: Card 1: This card is placed in the center of the “cross”. Card 2: This card is placed horizontally across the first card. This card is always placed facing left. Card 3: This card is placed above the first card. Card 4: This card is placed below the first card. Card 5: This card is placed to the right of the first card. Card 6: This card is placed to the left of the first card. Card 7: This card is placed to the right and down. Card 8: This card is placed above the 7th card. Card 9: This card is placed above the 8th card. Card 10: This card is placed above the 9th card. Each position in the spread also has a corresponding meaning. Below are descriptions of what the positions represent. Card 1: The first card represents the current situation that the person is in. Depending on the witch, this might represent the person asking the question. Card 2: This card represents the obstacle or conflict that the person is facing. This card is always read as upright and never as reversed.

Card 3: This card represents the subconscious influences on the person getting the reading. The question becomes what does that person truly desire. Card 4: This card represents the tools that the person getting the reading has to overcome the obstacles learned about in card 3. Card 5: This card represents the past of the situation that might be influencing the current situation. Card 6: This card represents where the person is heading or what is to come. Card 7: This card represents the person getting the reading’s attitude toward the question. Card 8: This card represents the energy that the person getting the reading brings in light of the question. Card 9: This card represents what the person fears or wants. Card 10: This card represents the final outcome of the reading.

Consecrating Magical Stones Before you use your magical stones, crystals and minerals, you need to consecrate them, just like you do with your other magical tools. The process of consecrating crystals is slightly different from other magical tools. When you are consecrating your crystals, follow these instructions: 1. Make a magic circle. 2. Place a pentacle in the middle of the circle or draw a pentacle inside the circle with a piece of chalk. 3. Place green candles at each point of the pentacle on the circle. 4. Place the stone or stones you want to consecrate in the middle of the pentacle. 5. Light the candles while using the following invocation: Hear me, Morrigana, Goddess of Three Faces!

Hear me, Dagda, God of Horns and Tusks! Come and bless these stones in thy name! Grant them your magic touch! 6. Pass the stones through incense. 7. Place the stone, gem, or crystal on your altar so that it can absorb the mystically divine energy from the Triple Goddess and Horned God.

Crystals and Rituals Crystals are very useful in various rituals and ceremonies. Crystals can be used as focuses, stores of magical energy and to unlock psychic powers. Crystals have been used in rituals since Gardner first formed Wicca. He took the practice from older neopagan religions. Below are some various rituals and how you can use crystals in those rituals.

Fertility Stones, gems, minerals and crystals can be very powerful when combined with a fertility ritual. To do this, you need to use the correct stone. Using the correct gemstone will empower the spell. In these rituals, the stone should be placed on the navel of a woman or the nipples of a man. Next, you should have the subject of the spell meditate while you let candles burn out. You can use several different stones in fertility rituals. Four stones align with the various elements. You should use the stone that matches the subject's primary element. You can also use the element that is associated with the subject's zodiac or tarot card. Four useful stones with their elemental associations are: Garnet: Fire. Jade: Earth. Lapis Lazuli: Air and Water. Rose Quartz: Fire and Water.

Banishing Evil Spirits

Another ritual that magical stones can be used in these rituals to banish evil spirits. Use the following instructions to banish evil spirits, ghosts and demons. 1. Make a magic circle and draw a pentacle with white chalk in the middle with the points of the star touching the circle. 2. Place a green candle at each point of the pentacle and then light them. 3. Place a jet stone in the middle of the circle. 4. Intone the following invocation: Bless this stone with the power to banish dark ghosts! Farewell, evil spirits! Goddess and God, banish this demon from my door!

Love Ritual There are many gemstones, crystals, minerals and gems that are associated with love rituals. The following stones are good for love spells: lapis lazuli, pink diamond and jade. Use these or one of the other gemstones that are associated with love spells in the chart and descriptions above. A sample love ritual can be found in Chapter 14.

Chapter 12: Chakras According to ancient Vedic traditions of Hinduism, chakras are the centers of life energy, mental energy and physic powers. Each chakra is placed at a different position along the spine, and each one is close to different organs that are affected by the chakras. Hence, if chakras are blocked or unbalanced, they need to be cleansed and realigned. This chapter will discuss chakras in detail and will present the associations with various magical tools including crystals, herbs and essential oils.

What are Chakras? Chakras are spots that channel energy through the human body. Each spot is denoted by a circle or wheel. Each chakra is a link on the energy network of your body. Each disk is situated over a different spot along (or over and under) the spine of a person. These disks are linkages in the network of the body. Each chakra represents a different center for psychic energies is associated with characteristics like herbs, essential oils, colors and gems. Each of these magical tools can be used in conjunction with chakras. Below is a list of chakras and their various associations. Chakras were first identified in ancient India. The Vedas, which are Hindu teachings, first illustrated the yogi and Brahman practicing chakra meditation. Since then there has been a lot of research into chakras and the concept moved from the Asian sub-continent to the West where it was incorporated into Wicca. In traditional Veda teachings, there are seven chakras. Each one located along the spine of a human. Some traditions extended the network to include the Earth Star chakra and the Soul Star chakra, each of which is not found on the body itself but instead below and above the top and bottom chakras in either the earth or above the crown of the head. When these additional chakras are used, the number of chakras is brought up to nine.

The Chakras This chapter details nine chakras, including the additional chakras, so the

total number in this chapter is nine chakras. Each chakra has a different power and is associated with different things from the others. The main way that you can use the chakras is in meditation. Chakras activate when the practitioner is meditating. In this state, the practitioner can unlock the physic and magical powers locked in each one. Each chakra is important in its own way, and because the chakras work like a network: if one chakra is out of balance or blocked, it can have a significant impact on a person and their daily life. For this reason, the chakras should always be aligned and unblocked. Each chakra is detailed below, along with their various associations:

The Earth Star Chakra Also known as: Vasundhara. Color: Brown, black and deep red. Located: 12-18 inches under your feet. Gems: Jet, onyx, and black tourmaline. Herbs: Red clover, tobacco and frankincense. Essential Oils: Black peppercorn, myrrh and white sage. Organs: None The Earth Star Chakra is the one located below your feet. This chakra is one of the chakras that is located outside of the body. This chakra is good for grounding your body. Having a properly grounded Earth Star Chakra allows you to align with the Earth's magnetic field.

The Root Chakra Also known as: Muladhara. Color: Red. Located: At the base of the spine. Gems: Red jasper, onyx and red aventurine.

Herbs: Cayenne, rosemary and burdock. Essential Oils: Angelica, cedarwood and vetiver. Organs: Male reproductive organs, adrenals, kidneys, rectum and the lower spine. The Root Chakra is found along the base of the spine. This chakra is associated with stability, security and being grounded. If you are experiencing an unwillingness to accept the change or too stuck in your own ways, your Root Chakra might be out of alignment. To bring it back into alignment imaging a spinning red disk or wheel over the chakra and meditate on that. You can also use a hip-opening yoga pose.

Essential Oils: Blood orange, vanilla and ginger. Organs: Female reproductive system, bladder, kidneys and large intestine. The Sacral Chakra is located between the hips in the pelvic area.

If you get too emotionally attached in relationships or if you are hyper-sexual, this chakra may be out of alignment, overactive, or blocked. You should meditate on this chakra if you are apathetic, uncreative, or closed off to sexual intimacy. To open the Sacral Chakra imagine an orange disk or wheel over the chakra and allow it to spin. As it spins, give yourself permission to yourself to be creative, feel pleasure, and express yourself sexually.

If you are experiencing having aggressive behavior or are domineering, your Solar Plexus Chakra is out of alignment or is blocked. To unblock this chakra try deep breathing and see a golden ray of light flowing into this chakra and your chakra system.

The Heart Chakra Also known as: Anahata. Color: Pink and green. Located: Along the spine near the heart. Gems: Mangano calcite, pink tourmaline and rose quartz. Herbs: Thyme, rose and parsley. Essential Oils: Lavender, jasmine and bergamot. Organs: Lungs, heart and thymus. The Heart Chakra is located along the spine near the heart. The Heart Chakra is the love and compassion chakra.

feeling paranoid, your Third Eye Chakra may be out of balance. To meditate on the Third Eye Chakra, first silence your mind, then see an indigo light coming from the center of your head. Next, listen to the answers or messages that you receive. The Third Eye Chakra is the center of many psychic abilities like telepathy.

The Crown Chakra Also known as: Sahasrara. Color: Purple. Located: At the top of the head. Gems: Lepidolite, selenite and amethyst. Herbs: St. john’s wort, pink lotus, gotu kola.

To meditate on the Crown Chakra, write a mantra that is a prayer or invocation. Concentrate on bliss, love, and ask for help from the ancient masters, animal, or spirit guides.

Chapter 13: Book of Shadows Every witch needs a Book of Shadows. Books of Shadows are the most important of the magical tools because they are either filled with spells that are prewritten by another witch or you can get one that is blank. With blank books, you can add all of your own spells in it or spells copied from another source. There are many different Books of Shadows that you can purchase, and you can get ones that match the form of Wicca you plan to practice. This chapter will detail the creation of magic circles, how to create your own spells and many spells that you can use in your own practice.

Making Magic Circles The first thing that you need to do to cast spells is to make a magic circle. Magic circles are powerful barriers that allow you to generate your magical energy, also used as a form of protection against spirits, ghosts and demons that you summon with your spells (see the summoning spell below). You can either have the circle marked or you can leave it unmarked. It is believed by many that the circle is stronger if you mark it. Magic circles can be marked with chalk, salt, or a ritual cord. You can either enter the circle or you can be outside the circle depending on your intent. If you are summoning a creature you should be outside the circle where it is trapped, otherwise, you should be inside the circle where you have protection from outside the circle. The average size of a Wiccan magical circle is around nine feet in diameter. Stepping on or out of the circle "breaks" the circle. If you break the circle you destroy the protection or the magical energy or summoned creature, however, you can exit the circle without breaking it by making a doorway in the circle. To make a doorway, you can trace a stop on the circle where you trace it with a magical tool like a wand or athame. This opens the circle so that you can either enter or exit it. Once you have either entered or exited the circle, trace that spot with your tools again to close the circle. To make a magical circle, you need to be in a room or outdoors in a place where you will not be disturbed and you should follow these instructions: 1. Locate a place, either indoors or outdoors, that is flat and has enough space

for the circle. 2. Draw a circle on the ground with salt or chalk. Alternately, you can draw a circle with an athame, wand, or staff. Note that these tools must be consecrated before use. 3. You can optionally draw a pentacle in the circle. You can draw this either with your magical tools or also with salt or chalk. Depending on the spell, you may need to use colored chalk. 4. Find the four directions using a compass. 5. Optionally you can place a candle that corresponds to the color of the direction and place them at the four quarters of the circle. The color, elemental and direction associations are: North: Green, Elemental Earth South: Red, Elemental Fire East: Yellow, Elemental Air West: Blue, Elemental Water 6. Light the candles and concentrate on the outcome you desire. 7. Cast the spell. 8. Let the candle burn out, which dissipates the magical energy back into the universe. 9. Bury the candles outside.

Create Your Own Spells Not only are there Books of Shadows with various pre-written spells in them, but you can also create your own spells. Making your own spells tends to make them rather powerful because you are channeling your latent magical energy that naturally fills your body. The first thing you should do when making new spells is to ask yourself what outcome you are looking for so that you can make sure your associations are the right ones to use. The key to making your own spells is to use various associations and correspondences with the magical tools that you use. Use the charts and chapters to research such associations so that you can use them in your own spells. Use the spells

in this chapter as a reference for making your own spells. A good starting point for your spells is to make a magic circle to channel and empower your magical energies. Remember that some spells are simple and you do not have to make the most elaborate spells you can.

Spells Below are spells that include stopping addiction, banishing, and house protection to name just a few. There are below are divided into three sections. The sections are general information about the spell, the magical tools required to cast the spell and the steps in the spell. Each entry includes all three sections. To read the spells below you can either read them in order or if you are looking for a specific effect, then browse the spells until you find the one you are looking for. However, this Book of Shadows is not all-inclusive and you may need to also read spells from other sources.

Addiction The first spell that is discussed in this chapter is to stop having an addiction. Note that you can be addicted to most things but the most common use of this spell is to stop drinking alcohol or marijuana. The addiction spell is a type of banishment spell where you are banishing the substance or object's addictive qualities. While this spell is very powerful, you may need to cast it multiple times over some time. A good time to use the spell is if you are suffering from ab obsession with the substance or object.

Magical Tools ∙ An empty bottle of your favorite alcohol or another object that is a symbol of the addiction ∙ A glass of water ∙ A piece of parchment or paper

Casting the Spell 1. Make a magic circle and enter it by opening a door in the circle. 2. Draw a pentacle in the circle with chalk or with one of your magical tools. 3. Place the empty bottle in the middle of the circle. 4. Write the name of the addiction and the incantation on the piece of paper. 5. Place the paper inside the bottle while concentrating on the target of the spell being free of the addiction. 6. Pour the glass of water into the bottle while reciting the incantation. The incantation is: Oh, Horned God! Oh, Goddess of the Moon! Bring your energy to my body and bless it with your holy words. Let your energy fill me and force this addiction from [target of the spell’s name]!

7. Make a door and exit the circle. 8. Once the circle dissipates and is gone, take the bottle and bury it outside, preferably among the roots of a tree.

Banishment Banishing spells are very useful. You can use a banishing spell to dispel a hex, curse, or black magic. It can also be used to banish evil spirits, ghosts, demons or succubus. This spell is very powerful and can be used as a protective spell.

Magical Tools ∙ Cauldron ∙ One black candle ∙ Censer ∙ Parchment or paper and a pen or pencil ∙ Table salt or green chalk

∙ Wand (optional)

Casting the Spell 1. Create a magic circle by using salt or green chalk to draw the circle. Salt is a powerful substance when it comes to banishments, hence, if it's available, you should use it, but if it is not available, then, green chalk will work. Optionally, you can use a wand to draw the circle. 2. Draw a doorway and enter the circle. Close the circle behind you. 3. Place a black candle in the center of the circle. 4. Light the candle while repeating a mantra. 5. Write down the target of the banishment on the paper while visualizing the target of the spell leaving or dissipating into nothing. 6. Burn the paper using the black candle. 7. Place the burning paper in a censer. 8. Allow the candle to burn out. 9. Take the ashes of the paper and the candle and bury them outside.

Birthday Blessing Birthday blessing are spells that bless a person on their birthday. A successful blessing brings joy, love, and good fortune to the target of the spell. The blessing doesn’t just apply to the birthday itself, but the spell will continue to be in effect for the entire year.

Magical Tools ∙ One White Candle

Counterspell A counterspell is a spell that you cast in order to dispel a hex, curse, or negative energy. This is one of the most important tools in a Wiccan's hands against black magic. Counterspells are very powerful protective spells. Counterspells are also useful if you need to break your own spells. The counterspell serves both functions. It is important to always cast counterspells when you are in a magic circle. You will need the protection of the circle to make sure you are not attacked by the entity that is trying to hex or curse you and you may also need protection from the energy that is released when the spell is broken.

Magical Tools ∙ Cauldron ∙ Blue chalk or table salt ∙ Glass of water ∙ One black candle ∙ Wand

Casting the Spell 1. Dress the black candle. Carve a rune, glyph, or sigil in the candle. A useful rune for counterspells is the nȳd. The rune means: “Water, sea and flood”.

Fertility Fertility magic is one of the cornerstones of Wicca. There are two spells below, one for women and a different one for men. This is because the two genders have different sexual energies and the appropriate time to join them together is when practicing sex magic. Below are the two different rituals for fertility.

Female Fertility The first ritual that is the feminine fertility spell. The target does not need to be naked, but the woman’s belly button must be exposed for this spell. If the target of the spell is comfortable, performing this spell naked will add additional magic. However, do not forget the Wiccan Rede. Forcing someone to do the ritual naked, the spell would become black magic.

Magical Tools ∙ Alter or stang ∙ Sprig of Basil ∙ Bed ∙ Jade gemstone

Casting the Spell 1. Place the altar in the room. Place the piece of jade and the sprig of basil on the alter. If you cannot move your alter use can use a stang as a movable alter. 2.

Oh Goddess of the Moon! Oh Goddess of Vegetables! Oh Goddess, Star of Heaven! Bless [name of the spell’s target] with a child! 6. Take the sprig of basil and place it across the woman’s belly. The sprig should cover the piece of jade. 7. Visualize copper energy flowing from you to the target of the spell. Concentrate your energy on the piece of jade. 8. Finish the spell by taking the sprig of basil and the piece of jade and place them back on the stang or alter. If you made a magic circle, break the circle and allow the energy inside to dissipate.

Male Fertility While the two spells have much in common, the male version of the fertility spell involves a sacrifice to the Horned God.

Magical Tools ∙ Stang or alter ∙ Sprig of basil ∙ One green candle ∙ Bed ∙ An offering for the Horned God. You can include many different things in your offering. Each offering should be a unique combination of things including grains, acorns, beer, wine, or a harder alcoholic drink. You should always make an offering that is biodegradable and impermanent objects.

Casting the Spell

1. Dress the candle by carving a rune, sigil, or glyph into it. A useful rune for this is the man rune. This rune is two vertical lines connected by an X at the top of the lines. This rune represents the male gender and empowers male fertility spells. 2. Like the feminine spell, you optionally can use a magic circle if you want to further empower your spell, but this it is not pessary for the spell. 3. Place the sprig of basil, green candle, and the offering on the stang or alter. If possible it’s always a good idea to use a stang with this spell because of its association with the Horned God. 4. Have the target of the spell lay down on the bed. 5. Place the sprig of basil over the target’s belly. 6. Intone the following invocation:

Oh Horned God, I summon thee! Come for this offering! Come from the field and forest! Grant [target of the spell] virility and many children! 7. Take the stang and touch the offering. 8.

Healing Like fertility spells, healing spells are one of the hallmarks of the Wiccan magical practice. This healing spell is very powerful, but it is for general healing.

Intone the following incantation: Goddess and God, Bless this house! Protect this home from dark magics! Seal the barriers around my doors! Drive away evil spirits! 5. Place the stone with the pentacle or rune near your front lawn.

Invisibility What invisibility spells do is make it so that you or the target of the spell go unnoticed. This can be useful if you need to slip in and out of somewhere

without anyone who is there seeing you. However, remember that if you use the spell to sneak in and steal from someone that it becomes black magic. The Wiccan Rede is clear that causing harm is in opposition from it.

When you experience hate, it is often better to cast a removing hate spell instead of confronting the person. Balancing hate with love like this is upholding the Wiccan Rede. Keep in mind that this spell should not be used to dominate or

You may do this to ask the entity questions or to trap it in a magical prison. You might do this if the entity keeps bothering you or someone you know and you need to imprison them.

Truth spells are very useful if you or someone else suspects a person of a lie. This spell will force the person to answer your questions to the best of their abilities.

Chapter 14: Spells in Action — Relationships Sometimes you may need to cast more than one spell in order to get your desired effect. An example of this is love spells. Love spells do not last forever, so to make sure that your relationship is always healthy, you might want to cast many love spells throughout your relationship. This chapter will describe several different rituals and spells that you can cast to ensure your love life stays fresh and exciting.

Compulsion Magic One thing that you must beware of before casting any love spells is that compelling another person into a relationship they don't want is against the Wiccan Rede. Using magic to dominate another person is black magic. Willingness to cast domination spells is a red flag for any practitioner of magic, so beware, witches, that cast compulsion and domination spells. If you are not careful, you might be the target of their next domination spell.

Call Your True Love The first spell for anyone interested in love magic is a spell that will summon or call the true love of the caster or target of the spell. Summoning a true love is healthier than attempting to affect a specific person that you are not engaged in a relationship with. For example, casting a spell that a certain celebrity will fall for you is a very unfocused spell and is unlikely to give you the outcome you desire. The first thing you need to do in order to cast this spell is to collect and prepare your magical tools. This includes candles, crystals and other tools. Next, cast the spell. Finally, take the stumps of candles and bury them while placing the gemstone under your pillow or near your head when you sleep.

Magic Tools ∙ Five pink candles

∙ Clear quartz gemstone ∙ Table salt ∙ Wand

Casting the Spell Follow the steps below to cast the love spell: 1. Make a magical circle. 2. Place a pentacle in the circle. 3. Place the clear quartz gemstone in the middle of the pentacle. 4. Use the wand to trace the circle and pentacle while chanting: Lo! come forth Goddess who is love! Lo! Bless this person! Bring forth a union of man and woman! Bring the soul of the loved forward! Unite them in a breath of time! 5. Trace the circle with salt and let the candles burn out. 6. Bury the remnants of the pink candles. 7. Take the gemstone and place it at the head of your bed so that it can be near your head when you sleep.

Ritual for Getting Your Ex Back Another love spell that many find love is to cast a spell to get your ex-lover back. This spell is very powerful and should not be used to force your ex into doing something that he or she doesn't want to do. In fact, if the target of the spell is also a Wiccan or witch, they may have cast protection on themselves to prevent such manipulation. However, if your former partner is still interested, this is a useful spell to get things going with that person. This spell can rekindle lost loves and bring people close together again.

Magical Tools ∙ Lavender Incense ∙ Pink diamond gemstone. This gemstone can be a part of jewelry or a stone that is not set in jewelry ∙ Picture of your ex ∙ Censer ∙ Three red candles

Place the pink diamond gemstone on the altar. 3. Sit cross-legged in front of the altar and visualize the person you want to connect with. 4. Intone a prayer to the Triple Goddess. One that will work is: Bright lady, come and lead me to a [lord or lady]. Earthen lady, stir from your sleep in the roots of the Horned God. Blossom Goddess, bring forth love with [insert the target of the spell’s name]. 5. Go to your altar and use the candle to burn the picture of the target of the spell. Place the burning photo on the censer and let it and the candle burn out. 6. Take the remnants of the candle and the ashes of the photo and bury them outside.

7. Put the gemstone on or carry it and don’t take it off until you have been reunited with the target of the spell.

This can be used to cause a sexual encounter or to maintain a healthy longstanding relationship. This spell can help you to rekindle a fire that is burning out or increase intimacy in new relationships. Either way, it is a very effective spell that can raise your passions to a wild frenzy.

Knot Magic Love Spell The final love spell is a knot magic spell. To cast this spell, you will make knots in a silk string. This spell is good for connecting with your lover and increasing intimacy. Like the spell that increases attraction, the knot love spell can be done at any point in a relationship.

Chapter 15: Spells in Action — Prosperity A very powerful magical practice is to ensure your prosperity and wealth through the use of various spells.

The spells found in this chapter will be useful in maintaining job security and it can even control excessive spending. The spells below will help you to maintain and excel in matters of money.

Job Security The first spell in this chapter is for job security. This spell helps to ensure that you are fulfilling your functions at work, which will lead you to get promotions and better jobs. The spell below helps to make sure that you don't have problems when you are at work. This spell helps to make sure that you have a healthy work situation.

Magical Tools ∙ Boline ∙ Copper candle ∙ Green candleholder ∙ Green chalk ∙ King or Queen of Pentacles tarot card ∙ Pentacle

Casting the Spell 1. Use the boline to carve glyphs, sigils, and runes into the copper candle. You can use a variety of sigils, but a powerful rune for this is feoh, a Futhorc rune meaning money and cattle. The feoh is a vertical line with two diagonal

lines coming from the top side of the rune. Other money-related runes and sigils also work. 2. Draw a magical circle with the green chalk. 3. Draw a pentacle in the magic circle with the green chalk. 4. Place the candle and holder in the middle of the pentacle. 5. Light the candle while envisioning your work situation. 6.

Increase Wealth Unlike the previous spell, this one is meant to bring you more wealth and riches. This is the spell that will bring more money to your life. This spell is very useful if you find yourself in situations where you do not have the wealth you desire. This spell will help to keep your pockets filled with cash or allows your investments to do well. One thing to keep in mind about this spell, however, is that this spell is not designed to make you filthy rich. Remember that spells should be realistic and getting rich off of a spell can be

seen as black magic. Instead, this spell is useful in bringing you relief if you are low on money or giving you an influx of wealth when you need it. While it will work to bring you wealth no matter what, you might not get as much from repeatedly casting this spell.

Magical Tools ∙ Boline ∙ Green Chalk ∙ 1 green candle ∙ 1 golden candleholder ∙ 1 quarter

Casting the Spell 1. Use the boline knife to carve runes, sigils, or glyphs on the green candle. Use your personal mantra while you are carving the candle to empower the magical device.

This chapter will concentrate on maintaining your health or dealing with injuries and chronic conditions. The spells in this chapter can help you to deal with health issues like constant pain or minor injuries. These spells are also useful if you have a chronic condition like a heart, spleen or spine injury that impacts you every day. These spells are the right ones for resolving such conditions and extending your lifetime, and insuring your health stays good. Among the spells are ones for chronic pain, heart issues, and mental issues.

Chronic Pain Condition The first spell in this chapter is one to use if you are having chronic pain issues or have liver or kidney issues. This spell incorporates yoga and chakra magic so make sure that you are aware of the yoga pose and have worked with a yoga instructor before casting this spell. This spell also requires that you light candles on your altar and visualize the issue going away. Like with prosperity spells, health spells also utilize the color green, but the color symbolizes different things in the different categories of spells. Hence, in one spell green symbolizes wealth while in heath spells it represents removing medical obstacles, so do not be confused by green being used in two very different spells with different intents.
