Don't see the question you are looking for? Ask us:

Question:

  1. Is energy something I gain by performing spells and mediation? (top)
    Spells require energy to cast them. Prior to casting a spell one will need to gather energy and then redirect the energy into the spell to cast it.

  2. Am I a evil witch because of my dark side? (top)
    Not necessarily having a dark side is not the same as intentionally causing harm or malice to another. If one goes around intentionally hurting others with their thoughts and actions then they will be considered evil by many. A dark sense of humor though can lighten the mood just as easily as the lighter side can create darkness or shadows depending on how the light is used.

  3. Are Chi and Magick related? (top)
    Yes, they are related. They can be viewed as different aspects of the same thing with key differences. Magick is a very wide umbrella term meant to cover most of non-physical (subtle) reality.

  4. Are Demons real? (top)
    It really depends on your upbringing and what you believe in personally. One person may see Thor or Isis as demons, but to another person, they can be personal deities. So in essence yes they are real, and at the same time, no they aren't.

  5. Are Faeries and Fairies the same? (top)
    These are different spellings for the same mythological creature.

  6. Are Faries Real? (top)
    Yes they are real and if you summon one please be careful. They can be tricky and enjoy messing with you although they can be helpful as well. Faries are earth spirits, the essence of the earth. They take on a form that you are most comfortable with.

  7. Are Psychic Vampires real? (top)
    Yes those are actually real. The other kind though are not.

  8. Are Witches real? (top)
    Indeed they are, but not as Hollywood and fantasy often portray them. Witchcraft is simply another form of magical practice that is often tied to the natural world all around us. Witches can be either male or female.

  9. Are all Moderators notified about the new members on the site? (top)
    No. There really is noway for the Moderators to be notified due to the fact there are always new people joining the site.

  10. Are all of the spells on the site bad? (top)
    The spells on this site are not all bad. It is up to the person casting the spell as to what the outcome is. It depends on the intent of the caster. There are some spells that have been written that are not real. It is up to you to decipher which ones are real or not. Anything that sounds far-fetched usually is a fake one.

  11. Are immortal Vampires real? (top)
    No they are not real. The concept of the immortal vampire was drawn from the medieval misunderstanding of the normal processes of death and from legends about Vlad Teppish, a medieval ruler of Romania. But they are simply fantasy, nothing more.

  12. Are love spells dangerous? (top)
    They can be. Some backfires include obsession and depression.

  13. Are love spells for beginners who know the basics? (top)
    I would not mess with Love Spells because it forces one to do something agenst their own will. When mess with will there will be consequences. I would suggest maybe having a soul mate brought near that way your not affecting 1 person.

  14. Are magic rings available on this site? (top)
    The site shop offers many kinds of rings. Some are made with and of stones, which hold properties on their own.

  15. Are magic shields real? (top)
    Shields in the magical sense are a form of energy barrier you create to prevent negative energies from reaching you. Used in this fashion they are very effective. However, shields will not protect you from a physical attack by another person.

  16. Are potions real? (top)
    Yes

  17. Are sirens real, and can you become one? (top)
    No, sirens are not real. You cannot become one. Our body physically restricts us from being anything but human. We cannot change our DNA.

  18. Are some people more drawn to magic than others? (top)
    Yes. Some people have a much easier time at being able to feel and sense the unseen powers of the universe. Different religions and cultures call this power different things, but in the occult word the simple word 'magic' will do. People who can more easily interact and feel this power are often more drawn to magic and that way of life.

  19. Are superpowers real (top)
    There are countries that are superpowers due to their ability to project power and exert influence, so yes superpowers are very real. If you are referring to the ability to know or sense things that others may not or having a heightened sixth sense, then yes superpowers are real. Flying without an aircraft, having superhuman strength, laser beam shooting eyes, creating fire and throwing it with the hands with no accelerant, generating ice without refrigeration cold enough to freeze water, and anything else that may be considered superhero story or movie superpowers are not real. These are awesome ideas for a great story to manifest from but they are not realistic occurrences on the physical plane of existence.

  20. Are the spells on this website real or fake? (top)
    Many of the spells and rituals here on SOM are real castings that will manifest actual results, however some of the spells, rituals, and posts contained within our site pages are not "real". These spells and rituals are considered fantasy castings due to their fictional structure and desired result. They even have their own section of the spell books. The best thing one can do is to use common sense, intelligence and maturity when researching any aspect of the craft. Be sure to cross reference all information on magical practice with reliable sources, this will help reduce confusion and misinformation being spread. The research suggested will also help one to differentiate between real magical practice and fantasy or faux magic.

  21. Are the trick spells real? (top)
    Some are, and some aren't. You have to look through them and apply logic. If it seems unlikely and impossible, like manipulating the elements, it probably is fake.

  22. Are there any protection spells? (top)
    There is a whole section of Protection Spells here on this site at http://www.spellsofmagic.com/spells/spiritual_spells/protection_spells/page.html

  23. Are there any rituals I can do on the night of a full moon? (top)
    There are copious full moon rituals on this site and in other resources. The Full Moon is a good time to banish negativity from your life; charge magical tools; manifest prosperity, protection, and peace; as well as cleanse your home and practice divination. You may locate a wide assortment of videos and rituals that may be utilized during the full moon on this site at; https://www.spellsofmagic.com/search_results.html?q=full%20moon%20rituals

  24. Are there any spells to change the sex of a person? (top)
    No, you can not change your physical self like this through magic alone.

  25. Are there limits to magic? (top)
    Of course! Magick cannot do everything. As people, we have limitations. There are limitations with magick as well. Magick tends to go along with natural laws and science: You will never be able to break the laws of physics, alter yourself physically, turn into mythical creatures, etc. That is all fantasy.

  26. Are there spells which can change your age? (top)
    There are spells on this site which claim to have the ability to change the age of the caster, however, these are filed appropriately under the fantasy section of the site. As with anything in the realms of fantasy, they are present solely for the purpose of entertainment, and not as a true reflection of the capabilities of magic.

  27. Are there teachers on this website that can help you? If so what do we do or where do we got to find them? (top)
    Most people on this website will not take someone as a student. Magick really cannot be taught properly except face-to-face. However, many of us will be more than happy to answer specific questions you might have on magical subjects.

  28. Are wands available on this site? (top)
    Yes, they are available in SoM's online shop.

  29. Are wands real? (top)
    Yes wands are real, they can't do the things from Harry Potter or likewise any other movie or show but they are real.

  30. Are yoga and hypnosis good for using in magick? (top)
    Yoga and meditation can certainly help with magical practice in that they aid in learning focus and in moving energy. Hypnosis really has nothing to do with magick. The book "Solomon's Magick" appears to be a decent book; however, I have not personally read it.

  31. Are your spells weaker when you are sick? (top)
    Yes, when your energy is down then you also have less energy to give a spell. You also don't want to use all your energy to cast a spell when you are sick because it might make you more ill.

  32. Astral projection tecnics (top)
    There are several techniques used to aid astral projection. Meditation is the fundamental foundation when learning to astral project. AP is an out of body experience and to get there focus is key. Visualization is required and the ability to lucid dream helps when learning to strengthen this skill. To leave the body and have one's consciousness present elsewhere can be accomplished using one of many methods such as the rope, ladder, or roll out method. There is also object visualization, the tunnel, the back flip, recall, swimming, running, spinning, the tornado, and by straining the body or mind. It would be best to research this topic as much as possible. You can get started by reading the following; https://www.spellsofmagic.com/coven_ritual.html?ritual=2428&coven=493 https://www.spellsofmagic.com/coven_ritual.html?ritual=1518&coven=245

  33. Can Demons be attracted to a caster by working Magick? (top)
    Everyone eventually gets noticed by someone on the astral, not just demons (and this includes views of demons from all pantheons). There are ways to go less noticed and one of them is to tap into a more vast energy, such as nature's, and use that with a small trace of yourself.

  52. Can I do a ritual in a drawn pentgram or at my altar with a pentacle printed on canvas? (top)

  70. Can a female be promoted to Priest? (top)
    I believe if your account says you are "female" you cannot be promoted to priest. You could change your gender on the profile, and see if that works. If it doesn't, the priestess could always contact the admin and express the desire to have the member promoted and he should be able to do so.

    Knowing how magic works and how to cast spells greatly increase one's ability to preform a successful magical casting. Those new to the craft may follow a spell without any other magical knowledge or practice and still obtain results, however research prior to casting a spell or other magical working will increase the chances for a successful magical casting.

  84. Can incense be used instead of oil? (top)
    It depends on the use of the oil. If it is purely for the herb used in the oil, then any form of the herb can be used. Do be aware that incense can be used to represent air, and if the herb is being used to represent something that does not agree with this in the spell work, it could be poorly applied and render undesired results. Please be cautious about using any herbs because some can be toxic. Always be sure to research ingredients thoroughly and handle with care.

  85. Can magic be cast without being tied to a religion? (top)
    Magic is the manipulation of energy. Though most religions utilize some form of magic or magical castings, religion is not necessary to manipulate energy. Though one's faith in the magic itself is key.

  86. Can masturbation and sex influence your magic negatively? (top)
    Yes, just like with any other magical practice, sexual activity in the form of magick can influence how your magick works. However, just like with the rest, this is souly dependant on you, your purpose of intent, and what kind of energy you put out. (as well as your partner, if there is one)

  87. Can performing magical work cause you to feel tired? (top)
    Casting any magical working requires energy. This is why one meditates prior to casting. It allows them to gather the energy needed to fuel the magical working.

    You can not force it but you can ask your guardian to see if they can

  91. Can spells be cast in God's name and does he give us the power to do so? (top)
    The answer to this question depends on one's understanding of magic and their personal beliefs. There are many who consider themselves to be Christian Witches and whom believe that their god gives them the ability to cast spells. One must keep in mind that there are many denominations of Christianity and some, but not all, believe that magic or spell casting goes against the teachings of the Bible. There are however, books written about The Power of the Psalms and other forms of Christian magic such as The 6th and 7th Books of Moses, The Red Church, and Gypsy Witch Penn. Dutch Pow Wows and Hexes.

    Yes. The simplest methods include dream catchers or dream pillows, but are not limited to that. Meditation is a good method of controlling your dreams.

    That is a very broad, general, and vague question. Nightmares/bad dreams can be helpful yes. They can still have a message that might help you. Whether you think this comes from a loved one, a god, or your psyche is up to you. So it's how you interpret the information given and what you do with it.

  94. Can true love's kiss break any curse? (top)
    No, that is something out of fairy tales. Curses are rare but can be hard to break. How each one can be broken depends entirely on the nature of the curse and the skill of the one who cast it.

  95. Can we ask questions that we already know the answer to, to expand FAQs and help new members? (top)
    If you would like, I see no problem in doing that. However, I did not make the FAQs, but like I said, I see no problem in doing so, as long as you do not ask the same questions over and over and you keep a limit to how many questions you ask a day.

  96. Can we contact and see our guardian angels? (top)
    Try using meditation with the intent of contacting your guardian angel. You may well be able then to see your guardian in your mind. Guardian angels are spirit beings though so seeing them as a physical being isn't going to happen.

  97. Can we magically swap our bodies ? (top)
    No, there is no spell or other magical working that will cause two beings to swap their physical bodies.

  98. Can we use magic on a stranger? (top)

  105. Can you bring an animal back to life? (top)
    Personally, I do not believe it can be done with magick. Maybe by some form of resuscitation, yes, but that would be far from "accidental."

  106. Can you bring the dead back to life? (top)
    No, you can't. There is no way to bring someone back to life once they are clinically dead for over 10 minutes. No magic nor any medical means will accomplish this.

  107. Can you change someone else's spell (not completly but just enough to fit your needs)? (top)

  112. Can you do both Black and White Magick? (top)
    There is no color in magick only intent.

  113. Can you do too many spells? (top)
    You can. You could use so much of your personal energy that you feel drained and ill when casting too many spells at one time. Or your spells might fail because your focus becomes too widely spread for the same reason. Try spreading your spellwork out over a longer period of time for better results.

  114. Can you fly on a broom? (top)
    No, you cannot fly period. That is fantasy and quite impossible. Remember Witches astral project not fly on broomsticks.

Then the final spell Restoration to bring back the personality and full memory of the being. Please use whatever magic you can to help me teach you more legendary spells. My true identity is to be kept sacred. (top)
    Spells such as the one inquired about are farce, not real, or fake. Once a person is dead they cannot be brought back to life with magic.

  118. Can you inherit an ability from a family member? (top)
    Some believe that it is possible to born with psychic abilities from another family member, but for a family member to just say "I give you my ability",(like in the movie The Coven)than no.

    No, you cannot.

  120. Can you make anything your spell book? (top)

  121. Can you move things with your mind? (top)
    You cannot physically move an object simply by thinking on it.

  122. Can you open your third eye without the need of meditation? (top)
    It is the only way that skilled magical practitioners use. We are all born with our third eye open. It is the lack of meditation as a baby and child that causes it to close. Some are lucky to make to through childhood without it closing all the way. No one can open your third eye for you. It opens when you take the time to practice opening it and then also closing it. For no one walks around all the time with there third eye 100% open. The average is about 60-75% open.

  129. Can you use spells over the phone? (top)
    Any form of communication may carry the energy generated by a spell or other magical working. The directed energy may travel via the phone or other communication device. One should cleanse these devices often as well as utilize protection spells and rituals to prevent negative energy from being transmitted through these devices.

  130. Candle are required for many spells. Can a candle be put out and relit or do they have to burn out by themselves? (top)
    There are two main ways to work with candles while casting a spell. The first is to burn an anointed/charged candle completely or until the candle burns itself out naturally. You can snuff the candle out and relight it if you need to or want to. Some candle spells are preformed over several consecutive nights/days where the candle is only burned for a specific period of time at each sitting. The other main way to use a candle in casting is to light the candle after it is anointed/charged and then after more energy is raise by letting it burn, you blow the candle out. The most common spell preformed this way is at a Birthday. The candles on the cake are lit, energy is raised as they burn in conjunction with the singing of the song Happy Birthday, and then as the Birthday girl/boy continues to think of their wish they blow the candles out.

    No you do not have to cast a circle to preform spell work. A circle creates a protective wall around you. It also helps to contain the energy you raise so that it can be released through the cone of power. So a circle is a helpful creation, but not a necessity.

    You may have to update Adobe or some flash software already on your computer, but there is nothing from the site to download in order to chat.

    Yes

  138. Do I use my birth name or adoption name for numerology? (top)

  139. Do O.B.E.s involve any risks? (top)
    Yes. You must always take into consideration that during an O.B.E. (Out of body experience) you are completely separated from your body. There is always the chance that you could get shut off from your body, but in the case of a controlled O.B.E. you aren't likely to run into that problem.

    They do work, but I would suggest you stay away from them. They do let evil threw and are almost impossible to get rid of.

    Sadly there is no way to lose weight other than through proper diet, portion control, and exercise. Using a spell will not magically make your unwanted pounds disappear.

    Every religion has their own beliefs and approaches to magic, based on their location, personal beliefs and cultural influences. Magic is the same across the board, but the acts to create the magic are different.

  144. Do different tones affect a spell? (top)
    Some intonations are specific in evocation and invocation (calling up and in, respectively).

If you are more specific (as in Hindu and Buddhist traditions), it will raise different types of balancing energies.

  145. Do enchantment spells work? (top)
    That depends on several different things. What sort of enchantment are you trying to do? What are you trying to enchant? How knowledgeable and skilled are you at magic? There is no simple answer to the question as you asked it.

    This depends. The creatures you listed are considered fantasy. Now if you are talking about Fay creatures or beings they are considered earth spirits and to some in the craft real.

  151. Do psychic vampires have fangs? (top)
    No, they do not. They aren't truly vampires and they don't really need the energy of others to live. They are simply people who enjoy leeching the energy of others, or claiming to drain the energy of others. So-called psychic vampires are humans like all the rest of us.

  152. Do spells need to stay in the language they were written in or can they be translated into another language? (top)
    Spells can be translated into any language. They may be preformed in any language and do not need to remain in the language they were written in.

  154. Do tarot cards help Witches? (top)
    Tarot cards are but one of many forms of divination. Not all Witches read Tarot, some use one of the other types of divination methods.

  175. Does a candle have to stay lit up after casting a spell? (top)
    It depends on the casting and how it's written whether or not a candle is used completely. Some spells require you to light the candle over several days, this means the candle is snuffed out and then relighted. Other rituals may call for the candle to be blown out and never lit again, such as birthday candles after one makes a wish. There are some magical workings that may call for the candle to be lit and then to burn out naturally with no interruption. If a casting does not give exact instructions for the candle and how to dispose of the remains it is best to use one's instincts or best judgment as to the specific actions to take. No matter how the candle is used be sure to never leave an open flame unattended.

    Well, the answer that nobody wants to hear is good old hard work. Make yourself valuable to your employer, so that they cannot afford to lose you. Of course, you probably want a magical answer to help safeguard your occupation in the tumultuous climate that goes on today. Unfortunately there is no guaranteed method to such magic. Magic works differently for everyone, and in every circumstance, and in matters like this it is next to impossible to predict every possible variable. However, creating something like a charm bag with tokens for money drawing, protection, good luck, and perhaps some talismans related to your job, or personal to your workplace, could be a good start in such endeavors. Empower it or "feed" it every so often, and keep it with you on your person.

This is just one example, and there are many, many such spells that you might explore.

    There is no color to magic. Magic is energy manipulation. Colors can help describe magical workings but most are very confused by the way in which different people describe it.

A darker caster will use ways that are not the most ethical to some to do their work that is even positive in nature. Just as a lighter caster my use there ethical ways to judge and harm another person. Magic is not good or bad but the perception of what people see things as can be.

    First, you need a piece of wood that is rod-like. The piece of wood needs to be sturdy. You can look for a branch fallen from a tree. The branch should be straight and about the width of one of your fingers. Generally, a wand is 12-18 inches long. You may or may not want to take the bark off the wand, and you want to trim off any twigs attached. If you cannot find a branch, a wooden dowel will do nicely. If you have gotten the branch from the tree, you may want to thank the tree for it’s contribution. You may decorate your wand. Things like cord, leather, cloth, and ribbon are commonly used. If you wish to have a crystal at the point of your wand, you need to hallow out the tip of the wand and hot glue or super glue it in place. You may also affix gemstones and/or charms to your wand. After your wand is finished, it needs to be cleansed then charged with your energy. Leave the wand outside or on your windowsill in the moonlight of a full moon.

It's much better to write your own, for in doing so it becomes more personal and is thus stronger than one you do that another person made. It also helps to raise the energy needed, meditate to clear you mind of all save for your intent, get in the mood, and properly protect your self.

    Find a quiet place where you can relax. Sit and hold your hands out in front of you, palms together like you are praying. Rub your palms together to create a small amount of heat, then spread your palms apart by about a half to full inch. You should notice a change in the heat as you space your palms apart, if you lose the feeling just rub your palms together again and spread your palms apart again feeling the change in energy. Once you become attuned with the energy change, try pulling your palms apart another inch or so. As you pulled your palms apart or push them closer, you should feel as the energy changes. As you push your palms together you should notice that the energy is compressing. You can make a Psi Ball as big or little as you wish. You may also make it into what shape you desire, such as a Psi Square or brick. May take some practice and concentration. If you get frustrated, take a break and try again later.

  310. How do I make a familiar (top)
    One does not create a familiar. A familiar is a physical animal that willing helps one cast magical workings. This could be any animal and this animal will be the one to decide whether or not they want to be a person's familiar. The only decision the person is left with is to accept the animal as their familiar or not. To not accept an animal that has chosen you is quite rude and could result in never having another animal be willing to be ones familiar. A familiar will come when it is ready and when it is time for a person to have one. Forcing the issue is folly.

  344. How do I write my own spells, and how do I know if they worked effectively? (top)
    How to Write your Own Spells- First you need to consider what kind of spell you want to write. Will it be a rain spell, a protection spell, or maybe a healing spell? Once you've gotten down what kind of spell you want to do, consider your intent behind it. Do you want to make it rain because the plants are drying up? Do you know someone who is struggling and needs some protection? Or perhaps you want to help heal someone who is sick? Dig deep and really feel out the reasons behind why you want to do this kind of spell. You should ask yourself- Do I really need to cast this spell? Make sure your spell isn't going to harm others. Is it going to take away free will from someone? If your intentions are pure and not out of spite or hate, then you can proceed. The next thing you are going to wanna do is really consider if you want to use tools. If you do, what kinds of tools will you need? Every tool has an energy you can add to a spell, so consider them very carefully. At this time you may also wish to consider the use of herbs or stones as well, as they too are a type of tool. Remember that if you feel you don't need a tool, then don't use one. Once you know what materials you are going to use, if you desire to use any at all, you can move on to a moon phase, or a day of the week, colors, gods and goddesses etc... Or you can choose not to use one at all. Now is the time to also consider, how fast do you want the spell to work, and what exactly you want the outcome to be. Now comes the fun part. You have all the basic criteria down. You can now start working on the actual writing of the spell. Remember that when you write your own spells, you put your own energy into them, and these will work better because of that. (This same technique can also be used for rewriting other spells that you may find). Once you have the spell written you are ready to plan a basic outline for casting. Here's one you can use to help you (this is based on the use of a candle, and remember this is only an outline, that means it's just here to give you a rough idea) 1/ Casting the spell on the day and in the moon that is needed 2/ Annointing a candle (of which colour you would have found out in the step above) with oil and herbs (which you also found out in the step above). 3/ Then lighting the candle and saying a rhyme, chant or verse to the god or goddess you are calling upon statung exactly what you want the outcome of the spell to be. 4/ Putting your hands over the candle (not so you burn yourself) focus your energies into the candle envisioning them as a bright white light which will power the spell. 5/ Then you have the choice of blowing the candle out a burrying the remaining or letting it burn down completely which will send the spell out into the universe. 6/ Finish the spell by saying: With harm to none, So mote it be. (or something along these lines) You should write the whole spell out as above exactly how you plan on casting it, so you have it in front of you and there will be no mistakes when it comes to casting it for real. Don't forget to cast your circle before the spell, or remove it afterwards.Just make sure you are working in a clean area and cleanse the room of negativity before hand by sprinkling some salt water around and keeping a bowl of salt in the room to absorb negative energies. Smudging is also a good idea! Dont forget most spells unless specified in it will take anything up to 21 days to manifest although most work quickly if the need is great. How to make them work- Once you have the Spell you want written up and ready to go. Look back and plan out the day based off your correspondence data that you want to cast the spell on. If it?s a full moon, then whenever the next full moon may be, or if it?s a Saturday Night, then the next Saturday night that you can work with undisturbed. For those who cast circles, you will be casting a circle, so follow the way that you normally do so. The more practice you get, and depending on the type of spell you are working, you won?t need the circle all the time. For these purposes though, we will use one. Make sure all your tools for the spell are on the altar and ready to go. You can bring the spell into the circle with you, you?ll want to take notes on the feelings and impressions you get after the spell is done. Do a quick double check and make sure everything is where it needs to be. If you like to mark out your circle do so, otherwise go ahead and cast the circle. You?re going to want to go ahead and raise energy once the elements and deity (if you chose to invoke them) have been invoked. You can raise energy by several means eg: Through singing, drumming, chanting, dancing and several other methods. Once you feel the energy is raised to a point where it can?t be raised anymore, then this is when you will focus and do the spell. While you are going through the motions of speaking the words, or tying knots in cords, etc, you are going to want to really see yourself doing it all in your mind?s eye. See the spell as being completed with every step you do, until you are finished. Once you are finished take a moment and really see in your mind what you want to have happen.( Remember the more energy, will and focus you put into a spell the more likely it will take effect.) Focus on this a moment then release the idea. Let it leave you and move on freely to the universe to start taking effect. Personally I like just writing everything down now, but you can clean up and then write your impressions. I find that if you write everything down right away while still in circle, you are more true to your feelings and impressions, and you won?t forget them so easily. After you cast your spell, you can go ahead and dismiss the elements, deity and the circle, Clean everything up and go about your business. Remember not to talk too much about the spell, as this causes it to looses momentum. A good example of how this works is when you are angry at someone. The more you talk about it, the less angry you get. It works the same way with spells. How to know they have worked- There are many subtle signs such as right after the spell takes effect you will get shivers, or a breeze will blow and you will just know. Basically if you think it is a sign, then it is a sign. When signs show they could be within a few minutes of performing a spell or 3 days, or even a month. Each sign for each spell and person is different. You just have to remain observant

  364. How do you charge a stone? (top)
    Many believe that the easiest way to charge any stone or crystal is to take it back to where you got it from and leave it in the dirt for 24 hours. However there are many ways to accomplish this. 1.Hold the stone in your projective hand (usually the your dominant hand). 2.Visualize your need and feel the pouring of energy out from your body and into the stone. At this time please make sure that you are visualizing every aspect of your need not a general idea but feel what it would feel like to have that need fulfilled. 3.After your stone is charged you can carry it with you or place it in a safe place within your home, office, or wherever to let the energies flow. Also, it is important to always eat and have a moment after charging a stone.

    There are several ways to cleanse the aura, chakras, or energy field of a person. Smudging with the smoke of a cleansing herb such as sage, soaking in a cleansing bath with salt and a cleansing oil such as eucalyptus, and submerging in a clean moving, natural body of water such as a stream or the ocean are some of the options one can utilize to cleanse the aura or energy field of any object.

  367. How do you cleanse and charge stones/crystals? (top)
    There are a few different ways of cleansing. Washing the stones in salt water, burying the stones in the earth with salt over top of them and leaving them for several days, or you can place them in a fire to cleanse them however they may become damaged in appearance. To charge stones you can place them in the moon light for several nights, place them on an alter, pour your own energy into them, or leaving them next to an object that represents what kind of energy you would like to charge the stone with. Such as leaving the stone on the ground to absorb earth energy and moon energy, placing the stone on an alter next to a statue of the goddess, or hanging the stone in a tree by some hemp or other natural fiber so the stone can absorb energy from the air and the tree.

    I'm uncertain as to a 'spiritual weapon', but most things like your power animal, element, etc., can be found through lucid dreaming, meditation, or simple discovery.

  371. How do you find your element? (top)
    A lot of people would say that you can find your element through several ways. Keep in mind it is thought that you can associate yourself with more than one element. Some easy ways would be to spend time with each element, meditate on them, and perhaps start a dream journal. "Your" element(s) are the ones you feel most comfortable working with.

  372. How do you finding your magical name? (top)

    I believe you refer to reputation. Reputation is a ranking of your contributions (spells/articles/forum posts) and how you are viewed by other members of the website.

    Keep in mind that not all malicious spirits are demons and that not all demons are malicious. Normally, an exorcism is performed to cast a malicious spirit out of a host (this may be an object or place as well as a living being). If you don't have experience in exorcism, it is wise to gain the aid of someone who can (local priests are most likely to have the experience or know-how).

    If it's deleted, it's deleted. Your best option is to upload the same picture again, if you still have it saved on your computer, phone, or tablet.

  377. How do you know if a spell is real? (top)
    The best thing to do is use common sense. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably isn't. Spells under the "Fantasy" section on SoM are strictly fantasy spells. Use intuition and common sense when selecting a spell. You can also judge the spell's credibility by its rating.

  378. How do you know if somebody has requested to be your friend? (top)
    You don't unless they tell you that they added you. For this reason you should let people know when you add them as a friend, do not assume they are automatically informed.

  379. How do you know what coven you should get involved with (top)
    Selecting a coven to join, whether here on the site or elsewhere, is ultimately a personal choice. Research specific covens and communicate with each coven's leaders and other members to get to know the group better. The covens listed on this site each maintain a home page that includes a description of the coven's intent, practices, and other points of interest. Many groups will list specific requirements while applying for a position in their coven so be sure to follow any directions stated on the coven page if you decide to apply. Be sure to contact the leaders of the coven either before or after you apply as many will require this for entry into their circle.

    You will know when it is open. But in actuality, your third eye (and all the other chakras, for that matter) is already open. You just need to cleanse it of blockages and work on using the chakra.

  382. How do you know you're the leader of a coven? (top)
    On your profile page, it should say what coven your in. Below it, should say: "Coven title: Member". Or, when you are a Priest/ess of the coven you are in, it will change from "Member" to "Priest" or "Priestess".

  383. How do you locate your favorites? (top)
    Once you have added spells, articles, and/or forum posts to your favorite list you can access the list through your profile page. Simply click on the favorites tab located just above your profile picture.

  384. How do you make a smudge stick? (top)
    You create a smudge stick by wrapping twigs of fresh sage with a long piece of thread. Some people like to include sweet grass or lavender. Sage is used to clear the space and the sweet grass or lavender will fill the void with happiness. Here is a link to a YouTube video by Charming Pixie Flora on How to Make a Smudging Bundle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4-8UW3EtrY&feature=share&list=PL8A7011EB14FA3551

  385. How do you make an Athame? (top)
    An athame can be carved from bone or wood or forged from metal. I think most people buy athames nowadays but it would be an awesome project to undertake and it would help imbue your own energy into the item, making it very personal.

  386. How do you make psi balls? (top)
    Find a quiet place where you can relax. Sit and hold your hands out in front of you, palms together like you are praying. Rub your palms together to create a small amount of heat, then spread your palms apart by about a half to full inch. You should notice a change in the heat as you space your palms apart, if you lose the feeling just rub your palms together again and spread your palms apart again feeling the change in energy. Once you become attuned with the energy change, try pulling your palms apart another inch or so. As you pulled your palms apart or push them closer, you should feel as the energy changes. As you push your palms together you should notice that the energy is compressing. You can make a Psi Ball as big or little as you wish. You may also make it into what shape you desire, such as a Psi Square or brick. May take some practice and concentration. If you get frustrated, take a break and try again later.

  387. How do you make spells? (top)
    You must learn to cast in order to cast a spells. Start with meditation and chakra work. Then move on to simple castings, such as a circle and shielding.

  388. How do you make yourself believe in magick? (top)
    I do not know that you can make yourself believe anything. For many it is simply a matter of faith.

  389. How do you obtain a familiar? (top)

It is suggested that one research this topic by looking through our already existing forum posts about astral projection and asking any further questions one may have there. Joining a coven may also help so that others are available to help instruct one in their study and practice.

    Palmistry is a form of divination.

  398. How do you spot a werewolf? (top)
    Werewolves do not really exist. They are a creation of Hollywood and of fiction authors. The myth probably arose because there are some medical conditions which cause people to grow excessive body hair. But werewolves such as you see in movies are imaginary.

  399. How do you start magic? (top)
    Most people suggest you start with something called "the basics", which includes things such as meditation and grounding, etc. They can be learned through study and practice. I suggest looking through the forums and asking there. You can also join a coven to have someone available to help instruct in your study and practice. The articles, as well, serve to housing much of this information. If you need more help, there is always Newbie Central and the Tips page.

    The Moon Cycle begins with a New Moon and occurs during the Dark Phase of the moon cycle when there is very little moon visible in the night sky. The New Moon happens in the moments following the onset of the Waxing Moon Phase or when the Moon's reflective surface area is growing in size.

The Moon completes its cycle during the Dark Phase of the Moon just before the Moon begins to Wax or grow again.

    One of two things happen during a solar eclipse when it comes to magic. 1.) The energies will not flow right or at all and/or 2.) you can over charge any spells/rituals that you are doing. Most cultures see it as a bad omen, and so do prayer and rituals to bring back the sun.

  407. How does a wand effect a spell? (top)
    The function of the wand is to help you focus your energy and represent the element of air. If you can do with out one, then by all means, go for it.

    Meditation helps you with magic because it is where you learn to gather and redirect the energy needed for casting magical workings.

  409. How does one become Priest or Priestess of a coven they are already in? (top)
    If the coven is inactive, there is a chance you could be promoted to the priest/ess position. However, if you are a member of an active coven that has a current priest/ess you would have to prove yourself worthy of the position, and could only possibly get it if the current priest/ess left, promoted you, or became inactive. Generally people get promoted to priest/ess from the previous priest/ess whenever they choose to leave.

  410. How does one bend the elements? (top)
    You cannot manipulate the elements in such a way. This is not Avatar the Airbender. You may take energy from the Earth, but you cannot "bend" it.

  411. How does one construct a pendulum? (top)
    Perhaps the simplest way to make a pendulum is to take a piece of thread about 18 inches long and a ring. Slide the ring over the thread and then tie the two ends of the thread together. Hold the knot in the string between your thumb and forefinger and let the ring move as it wishes. Pendulums are designed to answer yes and no questions, so be sure to ask your question in such a way that a yes or a no will be the pendulum's response.

  412. How does one read tarot cards? (top)
    Reading tarot is a form of divination. The tarot cards are shuffled, cut, and then laid out in one of the many different spreads. Each position in the spread means something different, just as each of the tarot cards have a different meaning. The three card spread is the simplest spread and the positions from left to right are; past, present, future. After one shuffles and cuts the deck of tarot cards they will draw a card from the top of the deck to lay in the first position. This card represents the person's past. Then the next card drawn from the top of the deck will be placed in the second position, just to the right of the first card. This card represents the person's present. The last card drawn from the top of the deck will be placed in the third position, just to the right of the second card. This card represents the person's future. One will need to have a tarot card reference that lists what each card means until they become familiar enough with the different cards meanings. When reading tarot cards remember that this is a form of divination and the cards are to help you to see or know what is unseen or unknown. The individual cards are not the answer but a clue to help one find the answer they seek.

  413. How does one see magic? (top)
    You don't necessarily "see" magic, you experience it. You may see physical results of magic and you may sense magic is afoot but rarely does anyone physically see the energy manipulation that is referred to as magic.

  414. How does someone get rid of a demon? (top)
    Keep in mind that not all malicious spirits are demons and that not all demons are malicious. Normally, an exorcism is performed to cast a malicious spirit out of a host (this may be an object or place as well as a living being). If you don't have experience in exorcism, it is wise to gain the aid of someone who can (local priests are most likely to have the experience or know-how).

  417. How long does a spell backfire last? (top)
    Assuming that what happened is indeed a backfire of a spell and not simply life happening, then a backfire lasts as long as it lasts. There is no way to know how long the results of a spell gone wrong will last, just as there is no way to know how long it will take for a spell to manifest.

  418. How long does it take for a dragon to hatch? (top)
    Dragons are not physically real, and therefore do not hatch.

  419. How long does it take for a spell to work? (top)
    The time it takes for a spell to work depends on things like the strength of the caster and type of spell. Some spells are immediate, others may take years. However, usually the caster will just 'know' right away whether a spell worked.

  420. How long does it take to learn the basics? (top)
    It depends on the individual. Everyone learns at different speeds, as everyone has different learning styles. I would suggest not to rush anything, to take your time with the basics and get to understand them fully- so to answer your questions, I would say it would take some time. It is not something you learn overnight and understand.

  421. How long does it take to perfect a simple spell? (top)
    It is different for each individual- there is no set amount of time. Some would suggest learning a bit about spell casting and spells in general before attempting to do spells. Once you have a basic understanding, it may be easier to attempt them. Practice is also an important aspect.

  422. How long is it until you can apply to run a coven? (top)
    If your account is over three months old, and you are not currently in a coven you can apply to Petrarca,the Site Administrator, to take over a coven. However, just because you apply to do so does not mean that you will be permitted to do so.

  424. How long will a gag last? (top)
    Gags are often permanent, as stated in the rules you have to agree to for chatter: I understand that the Moderator's decision is final and if I argue with a warning or other person's gag, I too will be gagged and the gag will not be removed. Moderators do not gag members at random. If someone was gagged it was because they broke the rules. If you get a warning the moderator is being extremely nice and arguing will just get you gagged.

  425. How many different forms of magick are there? (top)
    There are an infinite number of magical forms since most people have there own unique style.

  428. How many spells do you have to do to move on to intermediate? (top)
    It is not so much a number of spells, but your ability to control the forces needed for the magic you wish to cast. This is mostly a natural ability, though with practice people can improve and become better. In short, there are no hard and fast rules to say when you have reached a certain level.

  429. How many times must you chant a spell? (top)
    I would say that it depends on the individual spell, and what it calls for. If it doesn't seem to have any specific number of times you must chant something, I say do it as many times as you personally feel that it needs.

  430. How many wands can you have? (top)
    You can have as many wands as you wish and as you need. Some magical practitioners will have wands made from different woods for different purposes so they may have quite a few different ones.

  431. How to deal with someone casting spells against you? (top)
    First and foremost stop feeding the negative energy being sent your direction. Break up the energy by utilizing an uncrossing/unhexing ritual that combines a banishing aspect. Be sure to cleanse and purify yourself and your living spaces after as well as place protection magic around you. You may need to repeat the cleansing aspect on a regular basis and increase your protection over time. Protection magic builds on itself. Each time protection magic is practiced it links with previous protection magic that has been cast.

  432. How to get magic (top)
    Most people suggest you start with something called "the basics", which includes things such as meditation and grounding, etc. They can be learned through study and practice. I suggest looking through the forums and asking there. You can also join a coven to have someone available to help instruct in your study and practice. The articles, as well, serve to housing much of this information. If you need more help, there is always Newbie Central and the Tips page.

  433. How to read messages sent to me by a member? (top)
    Click on the link in the top right of the page thay says Mail. It will be between Profile and Sign Out. From there a list of unread messages, if any, will show.

    An account must be a Coven member of Council rank or higher to add articles to this site. If you meet this criteria, go to your Coven's page on this site and you will see a tab there for spells and articles. Click on the articles then scroll to the bottom of the article list and page.

    Go to the profile page of the site member you would like to contact. Click the mail tab located just above their profile picture. Type your message in the box provided and then click the send button located below the box to complete the mailing.

  436. How will I know if my spell is going to work? (top)
    Not all spells work right away. It can take years for a spell to work. Also some use a pendulum before and after a spell to see if the spell is going to be successful.

  437. How will you know when you've hit communication limit? (top)
    You will not be able to reply to forums or to mail anyone.

  438. How would one self-initiate themselves? (top)
    You cannot self-initiate yourself. To be initiated one needs both a group into which to be initiated and someone to conduct the initiation that makes you part of the group egregore. However, you certainly can do a self-dedication. That can be as simple as stating your intentions verbally or in writing and promising to follow a specific path to the best of your ability.

  439. I am new here, how do I get started? (top)
    I would suggest starting out by reading "The Basics Expanded", "The Elements", and "Visualization, in the General Info Forum here. I'd also recommend the book "Modern Magick" by Donald Michael Kraig.

  440. I been trying to cast a spell but I have been unsucessful. What am I doing wrong? (top)
    Magick takes time and education to achieve. Meditation is not the end all be all. There is also grounding, centering, visualization, correspondences, and so much more! You can find many free resources such as pdfs, articles, and informational forum posts to help guide you. Remember, Google is free and opened twenty four seven.

  441. I believe in magic, but the spells don't work. Why? (top)
    There could be any number of reasons your spells don't work. It is important to realize that many of the spells on this site are fake and will never work at all. Or the problem may be that you don't understand the basics of what makes magic work and haven't mastered the necessary skills.

  442. I cannot use candles to seal my spell jar. What other methods can I use? (top)
    The idea is to create a seal on the jar through dripping wax. Anything that will harden from a semi liquid or malleable state will work. You could try a salt dough, polymer clay (Sculpey), or another natural caulking substance.

  443. I have a membership, but I can't find where I can start a new thread in forums. (top)
    To start a new thread in the SoM forums one must first have an SoM account that is in good standing. While in the SoM forums one must choose the forum category that best suits the topic they wish to post about. Once in a specific forum section click on the hyperlink that says; Start a new thread, located to the right of the forum page numbers just above the first thread listed in the forum category and next to the LIVE CHAT hyperlink area.

  444. I have practiced magic for a while and it still hasn't worked. What do I do now? (top)
    The problem is that magic is not a simple as chanting some words or lighting some candles. Often the reason that spells aren't working is that the person casting them doesn't truly understand how and why magic functions in the first place. I would suggest the following books to give you a better understanding of magical basics to give you the ground work on which to build your magical skills. "Spells and How They Work" by Janet and Stewart Farrar "The Veil's Edge" by Willow Polson "Modern Magick" by Donald Kraig

  445. I need help getting this negative energy from around me. (top)
    Smudging is an essential practice to help disperse and remove negative energy that is surrounding an individual or contained within a particular space. Once cleansed, protection magic should be cast about the person or place to help keep negative energy from accumulating again. This can be done with a spell, ward, or ritual to help keep negative energy from interfering with an individual or space. The construction of a healthy personal shield is another great way to keep negative energy away from an individual. One can begin to research how to cleanse and shield by visiting the following SOM web pages; https://www.spellsofmagic.com/spells/spiritual_spells/banishing_spells/6153/page.html and https://www.spellsofmagic.com/read_post.html?post=912643

  446. I want to create resurrection, revival and restoration spells using the ability to create our own spells. If i need help, do you know where i can go? (top)
    You can always ask for help in the Spell sections of the Forum or in the Chat. However, if you are thinking of trying to create a spell to bring something back to life after it is dead, you should know that no magic will actually do that.

  447. I want to make a girl i know fall in love with me. What spell should I use? (top)
    Understand that love spells will not make one specific person fall in love or simply love a specific other person. Love spells only increase the chances that a specific person might be willing to fall in love or simple love another specific person. For this to occur however, all of the hard, mundane work of courting a lover and forming a loving relationship with them is required. If one can not do this then the other person will eventually leave. "Honey Jar" spells are designed to "sweeten" a relationship between people. They can be used in romantic relationships as well as all other types.

  448. I want to make a real Ouija board. One that I can pass on to my kids when I have a family. What is the best way to make one? (top)
    Take a wooden board the size you feel comfortable making into a spirit board and decorate the top in the style of your choosing. It can be the classic Ouija board that was made famous by a toy company or you can personalize it. Sealing the top of the board with wood sealant will help protect the artwork and make the top of the spirit board smooth. This will provide the planchette (heart shaped indicator used to communicate) with less resistant therefore aiding the spirits present in their communication with you. Symbols may be carved or burned into the wood or one could utilize decoupage. The planchette is usually carved from wood and needs to be raised about a half an inch from the board on three short stilts. Be creative and look for items to utilize for your spirit board in all places.

  449. I was told I had a high spell casting power level, do I? (top)
    If you are asking others if this is true then you are clearly not a practitioner with a high casting power. A serious and experienced caster may have a skill level for casting that is higher than others but it was gained through practice and experience with the craft. We all have energy and through proper training one can utilize their energy to manifest desired outcomes.

  450. I'm new to Wicca. How can I learn more? (top)
    Start with the Wicca Forum here on SOM. In particular read the threads "What Wicca Is and Isn't" and the "Main Wicca Posts". They will provide you with a lot of information. I'd also suggest the book "Wicca" by Thea Sabin.

  451. I've been trying to upload my bio picture without success. What's wrong? (top)
    Photos must be in either .jpg or .gif format. If the file is too large it will not load correctly or at all. Be sure to save your changes and allow several minutes for the upload to be recognized by the site system. If the newly uploaded photo does not appear after several minutes try hitting the F5 button or CTRL R to refresh your computer and it's connection to the site.

  452. If I block somebody, will they know that I've blocked them? (top)
    No. Your account will simply appear as if it was removed from SoM; no profile picture, bio, other pictures, friends listing, or any option by which to contact you.

  453. If I buy a wand in the shop, will I still have to charge the wand? (top)
    Most wands or any magical items posses a power of their own so its not necessary. However, if you wish to place your own special energy on it it would be a good idea..

  454. If I deleted the email I used to create my account, would my account be deleted? (top)
    No, but you may not be able to recover the SoM account if there is a password issue.

  455. If I have been gagged will my profile be removed? (top)
    No. Although it is up to the mod that gagged you to remove the gag. This being said if your not ungagged soon after being gagged I would make a new account and let it go.

  456. If I make a small mistake in saying a spell do I have to redo it? (top)
    If you have any doubt in your mind that your spell might not work because you made a mistake in casting it then it is likely that the spell will fail. The best thing to do is to stop as soon as you realize your mistake and start the spell over again from the beginning.

  457. If I'm not experienced in casting a spell and cast one, will it still work? (top)
    Possibly, but it's not very likely on the first try that one will be capable of casting a spell or other magical working that manifests to the desired result. The more one knows about and understands the basics of magic, combined with their experience and practice of the necessary skills, the more likely it is that any spell cast by them will work.

  458. If i was a gifted enough witch, would there be a possibility of me creating and doing the great spells of ressurrection, then revival and then restoration to fully bring back a dead individual or more? (top)
    No. Such spells are not possible no matter how talented you are. Magic has its laws and its limits

  459. If magic is practiced by generations continuously so is it possible that it grew as trait in them and flows directly into next generation & seen enhanced in individuals of next generation that last one ? (top)
    The answer is yes and no. You might be born with the potential to work magic, but if you never do the necessary study and practice to master it, then it is likely you won't ever do it. Think of someone with parents who are concert pianists. Unless they actually study and practice they aren't going to be able to play themselves.

  460. If plagerism is found, should it be reported to a moderator? (top)
    Plagiarism can only be reported to a moderator if a member is not providing credit to which their sources were found.

  461. If someone has had a binding or love spell placed on them to keep them from leaving the relationship, is there a spell that can undo whatever has been done and return free will? (top)
    Once can use a reversal or breaking spell to rid themselves of unwanted magical influence. One should follow this type of casting with a cleansing bath or a smudging once the spell is broken or removed.

  462. If something is out of stock in the store will I ever be able to order it? (top)
    Depending on the specific item it may or may not return to stock. Many of our items return to stock within a few weeks. Some of the hand crafted items may take longer to return. Other items may be a special one time only and when they are gone they are gone. If you would like to check on a specific item please contact us at glenda@spellsofmagic.com with the name and SKU number of the item in question.

  463. If you invoke a god or godess do you gain their powers? (top)
    Nope, you don't. If you invoke a God or Goddess for aid in a magical working they might decide to help that working come to fruition. Or they might not. It is entirely up to them. But the power remains with the Gods, their power is not given to us so that we become as them.

  464. If you invoke a god or godess will they control you? (top)
    No, that is not how invocation works. There is something similar to that, called "deity" or "spirit possession" that some paths and practices incorporate but it is not the same thing.

  465. If you were born empathic,psychic, etc. Could a body or spiritual spells change that? (top)
    Spells can not change what abilities you do have although they can suppress them. The best way to rid oneself of certain abilities is generally never use them, which in turn is very difficult when faced with mental abilities.

  466. Is God included in the practice of magic? (top)
    Any of the Gods and Goddesses can be included in ones magical practice. But it isn't necessary to involve the Gods in order to be able to do magic. Magic is simply a craft or a skill.

  467. Is Halloween a powerful night to cast a spell? (top)
    Halloween/Sanhain is a sabbath/holiday and a time for celebration. Spell work is not enhanced due to this however a small amount of magical workings is a good way to celebrate. Divination is the best magical workings to perform on Samhain.

  468. Is Wiccan a certain type of magic or is it general? Also, what is Wiccan magic? (top)
    Wicca is not a type of magic, rather it is a specific religion with specific beliefs and practices. While Wiccans do use magic there is no such thing as "Wiccan magic". Magic simply is magic. It is the same no matter who is using it. You don't have to be Wiccan to do magic.

  469. Is a familiar physical or not? Can others see it or not? Do you create one or not? One post in the FAQ said they are physical and you do not make one while another in the FAQ said they are spiritual and they are created, not obtained. I'm confused. (top)
    A familiar is a spiritual being that may take a physical form. They may be created by the practitioner like a thought form or they may be a separate being that the practitioner agrees to work magically with. They may be seen by others, but they are not always seen due to the form they may choose to take. For more detailed information please read the following thread; https://www.spellsofmagic.com/read_post.html?post=857694

  470. Is an African witch different from a witch? (top)
    The word witch is just a title given to a magic practitioner. Each person is different in their casting though similarities are common.

  471. Is doing spell work against God? (top)
    That is a question that should be asked of your religious leader, not some random stranger on a message board. Some religions believe that their God does not want them to do magic. Other religions have no problem with it. What does your religion teach?

  472. Is dominican or haitian vodou covered on the forum? (top)
    All forms of vodoo are covered in the Voodoo Forum.

  473. Is dragon magick considered light magick? (top)
    Dragon magic is simply working with the energy of dragons to aid one's personal practice. What makes something light/white magic as opposed to dark/black magic is the caster's intention. One could use their connection with dragons to either help or harm another, and this intention denotes the type of magic the practitioner is casting.

  474. Is everything charged with energy? (top)
    It is confirmed by physics, that even we are made of energy and so is everything else.

  475. Is imagining and believing the same thing? (top)
    No. Imagining is like visualizing something happening, or visualizing an object. Belief is an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists, and having the confidence that it does exist.

  476. Is it OK to be Christian and do magick? (top)
    It can be argued either way and so the answer lies in one's own belief. Some would say no, it is not okay to be a Christian who practices magic because of what certain passages in the bible state. For example, "thou shall not suffer a witch to live" may be interpreted that it is not acceptable for a "real Christian" to practice magic. However, others would point out that many passages of the bible were mistranslated and the most accurate translation of Exodus 22:18 is "thou shall not suffer a poisoner to live". They may also bring up the fact that passages from The Book of Psalms are actually utilized in certain specific forms of magical practice.

  477. Is it necessary to perform magick in complete isolation? (top)
    No. Covens work magick together all the time, but if you're not performing magick with others, then it is very important that you do it by yourself in isolation from others.

  478. Is it normal for a spell you've written not to work? (top)
    No spell will work 100% of the time. There could be many reasons why a spell might not work. Remember too that spells work in their own time. It may yet manifest. Don't expect a spell to work immediately.

  479. Is it normal to be able to control what happens in your dreams? (top)
    Many people are able to do that. It's known as "lucid dreaming" and is a skill that pretty much anyone can learn if they wish to. It's perfectly normal.

    Certainly! Magic is a craft, it has nothing to do with religion.

  481. Is it possible for a non-coven member to post spells? (top)
    No it is not. You have to be a Coven member of Council rank or higher in order to post spells to this site.

  482. Is it possible for an object to have multiple spells in placed on it? Like- invisible to me and a hex as well? (top)
    Theoretically it is possible, but I would not advise it as it might disrupt the energies of a spell and result in an unexpected or even unwanted result. I would place each spell on a different object.

  483. Is it possible for someone to cast a spell for me right now? (top)
    Spells should be learned to cast on your own; they're more effective that way. If you encounter someone who claims they can cast spells for you, don't go for it. It is most likely a scam.

  484. Is it possible thst i just can’t astral project? (top)
    Possibly. But more likely would be the situation where you are simply trying too hard. This would be especially true if you could do it before but can’t do it now.

  485. Is it possible to be immune to magic? (top)
    No. Magick is nothing more than an application of one's own energy. You can however shield yourself from tohers and use protection techniques

  486. Is it possible to change my personality with magick? (top)

  487. Is it possible to find out who rated my article? (top)
    No. All ratings are anonymous.

  488. Is it possible to find, or get, Fairy Dust or Dragon's Blood? (top)
    Fairy Dust that can be bought is purely symbolic. It is not real fairy dust, by a component used to represent this in your magical practice. Dragon's Blood the name for a resin derived from a root. It is possible to harvest if you grow the proper plants, but it is a rather complex process.

  489. Is it possible to forget how to use magick? (top)
    Not really. If you have truly learned how and why magic works then taking up the practice again is rather like getting back on a bicycle again after you haven't ridden in awhile.

  490. Is it possible to lose magick powers? (top)
    You can not loose your magick, nor can you have it taken away. Magick is part of your energy and your life.

    You cannot post more than one photo at once. Photos have to be uploaded one at a time.

  492. Is magic bad? (top)
    Magic is neither bad nor good. It is energy that is composed of both positive and negative polarities. Whether it is bad or good is based upon mere opinion. This is generally determined, not only by opinion, but also by how magic is used and for what purpose.

  493. Is magic real? (top)

    That is a much debated subject, and at the moment in our present state of human evolution there is no such claim or proof that such things exist.

  498. Is the Art of formal philosophers like Hermes Trismegistus the same as in Wicca? (top)
    Wicca is a specific religion founded in the mid 20th century by Gerald Gardner. Hermes Trismegistus philosophy stems from the Corpus Hermticum writings and utilizes the three allied esoteric aspects of Astrology, Alchemy, and Magic. Both draw from the concept that the universe and everything in it is interconnected.

  501. Is there a book that teaches to cast spells without ingredients. Voice alone? (top)
    Chanting is a way of raising energy for a magical working. It uses the power of language and the vibrations from the sounds created to manifest a desired outcome. Chants are often combined with other actions within a magical working, this is because the more energy raised and directed towards a specific goal the stronger the casting becomes. Some chants, like ones for protection, can be repeated in times of need to help feed prior castings that are still in effect but simply need a boost. Suggested books; "Spells and How They Work" by Janet and Stewart Farrar, "Magical Chants" by Mia Rose, and "Magical Spells and Incantations by Elizabeth Pepper.

  502. Is there a counter-spell? (top)
    Yes, there are spells that can counter a spell that has already been cast; however, there are some who believe that once casted the spell cannot be broken nor countered. Others believe that there are only certain spell that cannot be countered or broken.

  503. Is there a difference between ghost and spirits? (top)
    All ghosts are spirits but not all spirits are ghosts. A ghost is the spirit form of a person who once had a physical body. There are many spirits that have never had a physical body because they are simply energy beings. These can be seen as gods, angels, nymphs, sprites, faeries, etc. There are also spirits of the elements, plants and animals.

Light candle and watch the flame, feel your mind and body become calm and remain that way as the candle burns. See your body remain calm in the future, see yourself in the state you desire.

    Meditation is the best way to help one deal with too many thoughts however is also a bit harder to accomplish when one has too many thoughts. Try relaxing music, aroma therapy though incense, scented candles or an oil burner, and/or a calming salve to aid you with your meditation. Be sure as well that you are in a space that you feel safe, it quiet and calm, it is not too bright, and it is free of other distractions such as people or pets. Meditation after a shower or bath can also be easier to accomplish.

  526. Is there such thing as a fire charm? (top)
    It depends on what you mean by a "fire charm". If you mean a spell or talisman to help you create fire where there is none, then no there is not.

  529. My coven is looking to use the spellbook and ritual section of our coven for our actual coven spells and rituals, but most of the stuff there was put there by older members of the coven who no longer are members and the sections are full of spells that we all dislike/are fake. Is there any way to remove these spells from just the coven spellbook or are there permanently there? (top)
    Unfortunately, no. Those spells were put in there from members who earned the ability to post spells. There are tons of fluff spells in almost every coven and it wouldn't put a bad label on you because most of the people who are true magick practicers know to tell what's right from wrong. For the ones you simply 'dislike' they could be very useful to many different members. As of right now, the admin has not given us (the editors, mods, etc) the option to remove spells from other users.

  530. My level in magic is 8+. 5+ is average level. What does that mean for me? How do I use my powers without ingredients? (top)
    Although practitioners of magic have different talents and abilities, as well as experience within the craft, the levels described in the question are from role-playing or fantasy games and have little relation to actual magical practice. To unlock one's magical abilities one needs to study and practice the craft. Meditation is one of the best aspects to start with.

  531. Should I eat before meditating? (top)
    It is a personal choice to eat prior to meditation. For beginners an empty stomach that is in need of sustenance may be an added distraction to ones meditation practice. More advanced practitioners may fast prior to ritual which means they are meditating on an empty stomach prior to ritual, however their experience with meditation allows them to overlook the distraction.

  532. Should I eat before preforming magick? (top)
    It is a personal choice as to the requirements of fasting prior to a casting. Most higher magics call for a fasting of some form prior to ritual, however they are not required and personal safety is much more important. Often the fasting is for certain types of food such as; meats, dairy products, processed foods, excess fats, etc. Leaving one to eat only the whole and as raw as possible power foods prior to casting.

  533. Should I feel tired after meditating? (top)
    Most feel awake, aware, cleansed or refreshed. If you were just thinking while closing your eyes, that can signal your brain to go to sleep, which might explain why you felt tired.

  534. Should you say an incantation with a powerful voice? (top)
    It is a personal choice. It is possible to speak quietly or recite the words in your mind and still have the incantation work. Energy is raised with focus and intent which can be enough energy to power a magical working, however there is energy in sound. By speaking magical words aloud, clear, and strong one will increase the energy available to the magical casting.

    Generally - Air-Yellow/white, Fire-Red/orange, Water- Blue, Earth - Brown/Black (or even green), Spirit - lavender/indigo These are for the Elements in Western Magic.

  536. The spells I'm using don't seem to do anything. Why? (top)
    Make sure to learn the basics first. Grounding, centering, shielding, meditation, and energy work. Study before practice. Take your time and do what feels right for you, rather than what the pre-written spell says. Study, listen to yourself, and work harder. Remember that practice makes perfect.

  537. Was my message sent in chat? I can't see it (top)
    I can't tell for sure. But there are two possibilities. If your message is too long it won't post. Try keeping your message to no more than a couple of sentences. Or, if you don't look for it immediately, it might have scrolled off the screen if others are talking.

  539. What are Forget Me Not petals? (top)
    A Forget Me Not is a type of flower sometimes used in Magick.

  540. What are herbs of intent (top)
    Intention is important in the craft. Many magical items and tools correspond to the intention of the magical working such as a spell casting or ritual. Herbs of intent are the herbs that correspond to the intention of the magical casting or creation of a magical item. Herbs such as lavender, chamomile, and passion flower may be placed in a small pillow and laid over the eyes or under the head to aid relaxation, the reduction of stress, and to help the body fall asleep. The intention of these herbs corresponds to the intention of the magical object being created, which in this case is to help ease sleeplessness and aid relaxation.

  541. What are magick levels? (top)
    There are no levels in practicing magic. Wicca sometimes describes first and second degrees and so forth. Reiki sometimes teaches different "levels" of understanding. But one does not level up.

  542. What are my powers? (top)
    There are no such things as "powers". You may have talents that you can improve through study and practice, but these are something you are born with, not something you can get. And in terms of magic, there are no powers, just skills that can be learned through study and practice.

  543. What are psychic vampires? (top)
    Psychic vampire is a name by which those who like to steal energy from others like to be known. Fifteen years ago before being a vampire was thought to be "cool" they were simply called energy leeches.

    A spirit animal is an animal that one feels spiritually connected to. Often times the animal and the person will have similar traits.

Most spirit animals are also a type of spirit guide to a person, helping them along their path to learn and grow by teaching the animals wisdom.

  547. What are the basics for Astral Projection? (top)
    They can be learned through study and practice after you have been meditating on a daily basis for a continuing and sustained time. I suggest looking through the forums and asking there. You can also join a coven to have someone available to help instruct in your study and practice.

  548. What are the basics? (top)
    "Basics" are the requirements that you must achieve in order to perform an action. In magick, there is a basic level of knowledge that you need to learn before you are able to work with magick in a proper and safe way and in order to succeed with spell casting. The basics of magic include but are not limited to Circle casting, meditation, energy control, grounding and centring, correspondences, elements and many more.

  549. What are the benefits of writing your own spell? (top)
    Writing your own spells for a specific situation helps to increase your focus on the action, clarifies your exact intent, and begins to push energy into the spell even before you cast it. All of these things are going to help insure that the spell is going to work and in the manner you intended.

  550. What are the best products to purchase for beginners? (top)
    There are many books out there that are specifically for beginners in magic. Some are an overview and others are more specific containing information on only one topic. Other items that would be appropriate for beginners to purchase are items to set up an alter. Such as a chalice, offering bowl, censer/incense burner, athame, candle holders, alter tile, alter bell, and/or an alter cupboard. White and black candles and a sage stick for smudging would also be appropriate as well as some protection oil for anointing the candles.

  551. What are the different membership Ranks? (top)
    None (not yet ranked), Beginner, Novice, Knowledgeable and Adept. Rank is based off a vote decided by Knowledgeable and Adept members. Begging for rank ups is against site rules and it can result in being gagged. It should happen naturally as you communicate within the community.

  552. What are the different types of pentagrams? (top)
    A pentagram is nothing more than a five-pointed star. A pentagram within a circle is called a pentacle. Generally a pentacle is presented with the point upwards. In Western magick the five points represent the Elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit, all held within the circle of Creation. The inverted pentacle, with the point downwards is used in some Wiccan Traditions to represent someone who has achieved the 2nd Degree. It is also used by some Satanists; however, in that case there is usually a head of Baphomet (a goat-headed figure) overlying the pentacle.

  557. What are the things I need for a spiritual bath? (top)
    A basic bath for cleansing before spiritual or magical workings can easily be done by adding some salt (preferably sea salt) that you have blessed to the water.

  561. What books do you recomend for a beginner to read? (top)

  562. What can I place around my door and large window to keep out intruders? (top)
    You can place salt and garlic on the window sill and on the outside of the door. You can also place a broom across both the window and the door. If you have enough brooms you can place two brooms crossed over one another at the door and window.

  563. What counts as a member threatening my or my covens safety and how do I report this officially? The exact message someone sent me after being denied to my coven was "Well I see, I was wrong maybe this just isn't the coven for me, but remember one thing never mess with a powerful witch it’s not a threat it’s a warning." I wanted to know if this is something that needs to be reported or something that should just be ignored. Thank you. (top)
    If this person is continuously threatening you, report it to the admin. In any situations like these where you feel like this is a problem that needs to be addressed, let a moderator know and don't put it on the FAQ's. This 'threat' is very unclear of what they are trying to say. You report it by scrolling down and it should say "report this to us".

  564. What coven should I join? (top)
    Which coven you join depends entirely on you and on what you're particularly interested in. Each coven is somewhat different. Read the description of the coven and what it offers.

    That depends. British Traditional Wiccans (Gardnerian, Alexandrian, etc) honor a specific God and Goddess whose names are never shared with those who are not initiated. Other Wiccans are free to work with any deities they choose. But all Wiccans May believe in the existence of all the gods and goddesses but only honor ones they feel connected to.

  567. What do I do if i can't afford supplies to cast spells? (top)
    Supplies are tools, and as such they are not requirements for the spell. Tools can be replaced, or even entirely omitted. You can learn what the value and purpose of each tool said to be used for the spell, and learn what they can be replaced with that you already have in your ready-to-use availability at home. Or you can learn how to cast the spell entirely omitting the tools listed.

  568. What do I need to do to increase my ranking on this site? (top)
    As you send time on this site by: reading posts and responding intelligently to them, and communicating in the chats, other members whom are able to rank your profile will do so as they see fit. One moves from beginner up to adept by increasing their knowledge of the craft and by being helpful and courteous to other members.

  569. What do council members do in their covens? (top)

  573. What do you do in a coven? (top)
    Ideally, a coven is a group of like-minded people who come together with the understanding that there is strength in numbers and any organization is only as strong as its weakest link. What a coven is, most of all, is a “group mind”. A coven is a group of people who have worked hard to achieve rapport so that the focus and flow of every ritual comes naturally to the entire group. With that in mind it is necessary for each member of a coven to understand that self-confidence, sincerity, ambition, and absolute honesty are critical characteristics of a dedicated witch. While even the most traditional coven allows for some differences in belief, there is absolutely no room for personal agendas which do not serve the interests of the entire coven. A coven provides a platform for sharing craft-related experiences, working together to raise energy for magic, group meditations, spiritual growth, and enlightenment.

  585. What does it mean if shadows are following me? (top)
    First of all, do you know what these shadows are? Not all entities are bad. What are they doing? Are they just following you? Trying to communicate with you? You could do a protection and cleansing spell. They are found in Spell Tab. This should be right next to the Home Tab.

  593. What does the most powerful spirit/sigil look like? (top)

    The Third Eye is also called the Sixth, Brow, and Blue/Indigo Chakra. It's the energy center of our body that governs our psychic abilities, so opening the flow of energy within that center would result in higher psychic interactions with the world around you. It can seem like a lot to take in at first, but you'll get used to it after a while (or you can have it open gradually which is the case most of the time).

  602. What if I was born with white and black magick? (top)

If the spell is simply on the altar to represent the Element of Earth it can be reused in future rituals. Both the water and the salt should be disposed of by pouring them on the Earth or into running water such as a stream. Vary the place you dispose of these items so that salt build-up doesn't kill your plants or grass.

And of course, no fantasy spells will work at all.

  691. When a spellcaster casts a spell, can they use other information about you besides your date of birth? (top)
    Yes, the more information known about the person the spell or other magical working is for may result in a more effective casting. Knowing ones likes, dislikes, fears, vanities, what the person may find pride in, what they excel at, their physical appearance, their thoughts or opinions, and even their personal style may all help to aid the spell caster in the creation of an effective spell or other magical working for that particular person. Another large aspect that effects the success of a magical casting is the practitioner's experience and knowledge of the craft.

  719. Why am I having problems viewing the videos? (top)
    This could be happening for any number of reasons, ranging from problems with your browser, to needing to update various browser plugins.

  720. Why am I ranked as member? (top)
    Coven Position - if you have been moved up from Member to Council this is because the High Priest/Priestess has deemed you worthy of the position by showing your knowledge, being active, and helping other members of the coven in various ways.

  721. Why are Ouija boards dangerous to some and not to others? (top)
    Sometimes when working with a Ouija board one can make contact with a less-than-friendly spirit that can cause trouble for you if you are not properly shielded. Working within a cast circle and only contacting spirits of those you know can minimize the risk of having such troublesome spirits appear.

  722. Why are covens restricted? (top)
    A coven is like a magical family so it is important that the members have liking and respect for each other. Not everyone who applies to a coven might be a good fit for that particular family. Requiring an application process helps to insure that the person will be a good coven member and will fit in with the other coven members well.

  723. Why are there only female psychics and witches teaching and assisting people, not men? (top)
    This simply is not the case. The world has plenty of men whom are apart of the pagan and magical community that teach different aspects of the occult.

  724. Why aren't there rituals to take a person soul out of its body? (top)
    Because most such efforts and acts involving such things are purely the stuff of Hollywood. The idea of it rarely involves any true understanding of what the "soul" is.

    If you are talking about the mail system, you can mass delete everything in your default inbox. If you want to save anything, you can put it into a folder.

  727. Why can't I post on forums anymore? (top)
    Most of the time where you cannot use mail, chatter, or post in the forums means that you have most likely been gagged.

  728. Why can't I promote a user to Priest/ess? (top)
    If this occurs, there are a few things that might be causing the issue. 1. If the account was a coven leader for a previous coven, they can no longer lead a coven on that account. You can ask the site administrator to promote the account for you (if this is indeed the case.) 2. If the account is under 3 months of age, it cannot yet lead a coven. It must be 3 months (90 days) old before it can be promoted. 3. Make sure that the account has a gender selected. If there is no gender selected, the account cannot be promoted.

  729. Why can't I see my read messages? (top)
    After you open a new mail the site mail system will automatically place the mail into your default mailbox. You can access this mailbox by clicking on your mail tab and then the default button located on the left hand side of your main mail page. You also have the option of creating different mail boxes to sort your mail. If you do not pick a mailbox the system will still place a new but opened mail into the default mailbox.

  730. Why can't I upload photos to my photo album? (top)
    Some times it takes a few minutes for it to show. Have you tried hitting F5? That does help things to show up faster.

  731. Why can't we use different languages? (top)
    According to the site terms of use different languages may be used sparingly. The majority of a contribution must be in English however use of Latin phrases are allowed so long as they do not violet other terms of use or site rules.

  732. Why did I get a chill down my spine when I was meditating for the first time? (top)
    Two probable reasons. One is that there was a draft in your room. The second is that when sitting and meditating for a period of time it is common for one to start feeling chilly.

  733. Why do I feel very strong and magical sometimes and other time feel disconnected (top)
    That sort of thing happens with every magic user from time to time. There are many reasons why you might feel this way. Stress, being tired, being sick, the phase of the moon, etc. Most of us deal with it by recognizing when we're not fully there magically and waiting for a better time to do our spellwork.

  734. Why do I get headaches everyime I cast a spell? (top)
    The energies you use in everyday are wild and uncontrolled. That kind of energy is not suitable for spell work as it requires advanced energy control for the energy to reach the intended destination. That is why you first need to ground and centre and learn better about energy work.

  735. Why do most of the spells rhyme? (top)
    Many spells rhyme for multiple reasons including but not limited to: it's believed that when a spell rhymes it helps in making them stronger; they are much easier to remember; it helps in consistency so as not to mess up in a casting that in doing so would cause the spell to weaken, not work, or act on an unintended intent; and personal preference when writing a spell.

  736. Why do my spells do the opposite of what I want? (top)
    Clear intention and sustained focus on the desired result is necessary for the proper out come and results of any magical working. When practicing spell work ones needs to make their intentions as clear as possible. It is advised that one cleanse and protect their sacred space before casting any magical working. This will secure the area and by casting a circle you open a space between the planes of existence where one is better protected from outside energy interfering with the desired magical working. Meditation will help calm, cleanse, and focus the mind and body before casting. Emotions can contribute greatly to how the spell turns out so mindfulness is very important. Also the experience gained through practice will help one to achieve better magical results over time.

  737. Why do spells take so long to work? (top)
    The time it takes for a spell to work depends on things like the strength of the caster and type of spell. Some spells are immediate, others may take years. A spell simply takes as long as it takes to manifest.

  738. Why do you need ingredients to cast a spell? (top)
    Tangible ingredients are not always needed to cast a spell, ritual, or other magical working. Energy, however is a required ingredient for any and all magical practice. Various tangible ingredients are often used so that their specific energies help the casting to manifest. These objects may also aid the practitioner by increasing their ability to focus clearly on the outcome desired when casting. It is perfectly possible and very common to cast a successful spell with no tangible ingredients. These castings often call for chanting or spoken words, sometimes incorporating movement of the body with the verbal ingredients.

  739. Why does it say I am not permitted to speak? (top)
    This is because you have been gagged (silenced) by a moderator of this site. This occurs when you have broken a rule of the chatter. In this case, you are not allowed to speak in the chatter, post in the forums or post in the mail system. The time of the gag depends on the moderator who has gagged you.

  740. Why does it say I'm a beginner / novice /knowledgeable / adept on my profile? (top)
    A knowledge ranking system has been implemented on the site. The exact way people are ranked is not revealed, but is based on your participation and general knowledge of paganism, wicca, magic, occult arts and the like. This system helps identify the most knowledgeable people (ranked as Knowledgeable or Adept) on their profile and in the forums so that people new to Spells Of Magic have abetter idea of who to trust.

  741. Why does the chatter agreement always deny me? (top)
    Read the instructions very carefully! If you actually read the instructions and follow them correctly you will then pass the agreement test.

  742. Why doesn't my bio show up? (top)
    You may have reached the character limit for your bio. If that's not the case, there may have been an issue with it properly updating. Try shortening your bio if it's long. If not, cut and past it then update it. If that doesn't solve the problem talk to the site owner, Petrarca.

  743. Why is there a communication limit? (top)
    Communication limits help prevent the site servers from being overwhelmed, or otherwise inappropriately used by spam bots and other such software. They are put in place to help ensure that the website stays up and running for you.

  744. Why won't my Communication Limit reset? (top)
    Communication limits reset one hour after the account's mail limit has been reached. If an account tries to send more mail before the hour wait is over than another hour of being barred from the mail system will issue. If an account can not mail, post in the forums, or access the public chatter then the account has been gagged.

  745. Will I be able to cast spell without knowing how to meditate? (top)
    You might be able to, but meditation is a valuable tool in helping you clarify the intent of your spell and focus on the goal the spell is to reach.

  746. Will I be alerted if I am gagged? (top)
    Most mods will not mail you to tell you that you have been gagged. Mods are not required to give you an explanation for why you were gagged, which rule you broke, etc. Some mods will, but that is personal preference. You can tell when you have been gagged because you will be unable to use forums, mail and chat.

  747. Will a spell still work if it is written in another language? (top)
    Yes, but you need to take the time to understand what is being said. Its best to know what you are saying because it helps project your intention and energy.

  748. Will magic effect my christian belief? (top)
    No. In fact magic exists and is part of all religions, and none more so than Christianity. Things like a prayer is a type of magic, so if you have ever prayed, you have already done magic. A spell is a prayer and magic is a miracle.

  749. Will spells work if you whisper them? (top)
    Spells may be spoken, whispered, sung, or simply focused on through thought, however the energy one adds through the use of their physical voice may increase the energy and effectiveness of a spell. Sound vibrations add energy to any magical working and this is why drums, rattles, and other noise makers are often used in conjunction with magical practice.

  750. can i make a new account after getting gagged (top)
    Yes, you can make a new account, but you might have to use a different e-mail address if you haven't deleted the old account.

  751. communication limit (top)
    There is a communication limit on this site for the amount of mails an account can send per hour. If an account reaches it's maximum number of mails per hour the mail feature for that account will freeze and the account will no longer be able to send mail to anyone on the site. This temporary time out from mail will only last until the communication limit is reset. It usually takes about an hour. Trying to send a mail before the limit is reset will result in a longer wait time for the communication limit to be reset.

  752. how can i do magik and know if it has happened (top)
    Through study and practice one learns to cast magic, however not all spells and other magical castings turn out successful or work right away. It can take years for a magical working to manifest. Some practitioners will use a pendulum before and after a ritual to see if the casting will be successful. It is also important to understand there is no guarantee that any magical casting will work even if you have years of experience with the craft.

  753. how do i make a spell and will it work during trial and error? (top)
    When constructing your own ritual, spell, or magical working it is best to first have an understanding of what these aspects are, as well as what they can realistically accomplish. It is suggested by experienced casters to first study the basics of magic as well as research and cross reference these topics before trying to compose your own. Once you have the knowledge to begin the creative process, as well as the skills necessary to cast simple workings with the desired effects manifested, will the spells of your own creation begin to work. Achieving successful manifestation as designed however, may take practice and quite possibly even revision of the magical working.

  754. what is fluff magic? (top)
    The term fluff on this site refers to entertainment or writing that is perceived as trivial or superficial. Those with a fluff rating or whom practice fluff magic are those that practice unrealistically. These pseudo practitioners often do not understand how magic works, they will make unrealistic claims, and often contradict themselves. In short it's not real and is a wasteful type of filler.

  755. which time is best to cast spells (top)
    There are many different aspects to consider when determining the best time to cast a particular spell. Research moon phases, planetary hours, planetary days, and other correspondences for spell casting to best understand and ascertain when to cast a spell or other magical working.
