Things To Know Before Casting Spells


Learning to cast spells of different kinds is an exciting experience for anyone. Whether you are a complete beginner in learning to cast spells or have tried it in the past, there is always something new and thrilling to learn. The first important step is to ensure that there is some solid reason to cast a spell. Some important things that must be known to the learning witch or wizard before one begins to cast spells include:

1. Make sure that whatever spells you cast must be supportive in enhancing life and not in replacing it.

2. Always make sure to try the mundane approach first before going for spells. This is because every problem has some valuable lesson to be learnt behind it. So try not to miss out on these lessons always.

3. Before performing the spell, always calculate the potential side-effects of the spell and decide whether it is worth casting the spell.

4. Take your time and outline clearly the things that you wish to see, in order to ensure that there is no problem later due to incomplete or hasty wording.

5. Try your level best to follow the Wiccan Rede and never perform any spells that can cause harm to others.

6. Even if you do not believe in Wiccan Rede, remember the concept of Karma and the 3 Fold law and think about the negative consequences of your spell.

7. If you cast a spell, one of the most important things is to believe from the bottom of your heart that the spell will work. If you are unsure of its success, or are feeling uncomfortable or guilty about carrying it out, then the positive energy let into the spell will be counteracted and will be a failure.

8. Once you cast a spell, let it go and do not bother yourself with ‘if’ and ‘whether’ questions.
