Magick is an individual action that needs to be performed in order to enable each person to direct his or her own life. True practitioners of magick are guardians, preservers, and revivers of the world’s occult truths and traditions.
Although there are many magickal traditions in the world, all of them share the same grain of truth; the individual is responsible for making her/his life work.
Many of us spend hours worrying about life, being jealous of others, getting depressed over our experiences or feeling angry at others and wanting revenge because of something they may or may not have done. Focusing on others to cure your ills is not very efficient. You can, however, get over the jealousy, the depression or the anger by just focusing on yourself, how you can get what you really, really want from your life.
When you create your own spells, remember that every action returns three-fold results. Think carefully whether you are being honest, just and kind. Remember that any spells cast to hurt another (even unknowingly) can come back to hurt you even more. IT JUST ISN’T WORTH IT.
To create spells, you have to first think of what you need out of it. You may choose love, health, prosperity, fertility, home, education, job, etc. Depending on your goal, choose the items that will help you succeed in your goal by allowing you to focus more intently on your action.
Always assume that the result has already materialized in Nature. All you are doing is to bring it closer, to make it appear in your view, in your realm, in your reality. Use positive sentences when you write your goals.
One of the major advantages of making our own spells rather than have strangers create the spells for us is that the spells we create will be customized to our own thoughts and preferences. These type of spells are the most effective of all. Visualization is one of the most important parts of the spell. It is through visualization that we bring our thoughts into reality.
Here are some ways in which you can create your own spells.
1. Decide on the goal; Remember,it has already taken place in the Universe. All you need is to visualize and bring it into your reality
2. Think of all the tools or items you need to help you visualize this goal. It could be an outdoor or indoor altar, Figurines or candles depicting the Goddess or God, herbs or flowers, holy water, oils and perfumes, paper and pen to write down your intentions, etc.
3. The best timings for the spell. If it is a spell that increases something (love, health, money, etc), it is best to cast the spell on a new moon day when the moon is waxing. On the other hand, if it is a spell in which you want to decrease something (weight, illness, curses, etc) work it on a full moon day so that as the moon wanes, your problem will disappear.
4. Next choose the time or day to do the spell. In many magickal books and good websites, you may find the correspondence between astrological positions and successful spell working.
To start, assemble all the items you need in front of the altar. Take a nice, long bath with herbal oils and essences. Dry off and wear a clean cotton robe to remove all negativity surrounding you.
Cast a sacred circle to surround yourself with positive energy. Sit in front of the altar and arrange the candles, and other items around. Burn incense appropriate to your goal. Incense is usually made of botanicals and most of them are used for specific purposes. Learn more about them if you wish to create your own spells.

Spells are amazing ways to take back our power, one which had been taken away for centuries by organized religions and the people who presume that they personally know the Creator and are the only ones who are capable of communing with HER or HIM. Spells allow us to use the tremendous energy that each of us have for creating magick in our lives.
However, there are some simple rules that people need to remember when working spells. First and foremost; remember the Wiccan Rede; “And it harm none, do what you will.” This means that all of us have the power to do anything, unless it harms someone directly or indirectly. If we hurt someone, then the three-fold law will be set in motion and we will be the recipient of three times the hurt that we inflicted on someone else. That’s a good thing to remember, right? It is not easy to think of all the people that our actions affect, directly or indirectly. For example, if we love someone and work a spell to increase their love for us, maybe that indirectly affects the time and energy they have for loving the rest of their family! So think deeply before deciding on a spell and how to express your intentions. Make sure your words and thoughts do not hurt anyone or anything.
The next step is to decide what your intentions are and what tools you will need to work your spell. For each intention, there are colors, herbs, gemstones, tools, etc. that will make a huge difference in the ambience or environment around us. Always use your own words while working a spell. Just because the words sound exotic or the words rhyme, it doesn’t mean that your spell will work. Your words have to mirror your intentions; that’s the only way the spell will work. So give yourself enough time to think about what it is you intend and how best to express it to the powers and energies who will be doing the work for you.
Whether you work the spell inside your house or outside, make sure that the area is clean of clutter and old, used things; for everything contains energy. If there are things used by other people around the area where we do our spell, that energy will affect the outcome of our spell. Also, if we use items used by other people, their energies will be part of our spell working. Depending on the items, it could help our cause or hurt it. Remember to consecrate all your tools and also bless them just before you use each of them.
