That would work in an ideal world, where someone has the months it takes to master the basics and be competent to believe they can write their own spell.
How many people come on here in a panic asking for a spell to deal with an emergency, are they just supposed to go away and learn everything they need before they do the spell.
Of course your own spell works the best, but until someone feels competent enough to write their own then they should go with spell books by some of the greatest occult figures in the history of magic, many who died before Wicca was ever considered.
If someones in an emergency situation I would hope they have the common sense to use other help available to them as other people who dont ever use magic would do, Who's to even say magic would help them in time anyway...some spells can take weeks to months to come to fruition.
It just seems to me theres a lot of people who think magic is a quick fix to their problems, maybe if they put as much energy into solving whatever problems they have as they do into finding a spell to sort it they might get on a lot better.
Yes an emergency, health, love, danger, the reasons people come on asking for help.
Even if the spell does not work it may give them the peace of mind they need to bring some clarity, then again it could solve their problem within days just like that.
I agree that people believe magic is a quick fix, but I also believe that some people need to understand this isn't an ideal world and the best way to learn is to practice, like riding a bike, if you had to learn from a book it wouldn't work.
Like I said in my other post, I would agree with the great occult figures that produced spell books that are well known throughout the world.
Didn't he said untold said that the person should study like a week or so before casting one? It sounds like you guys are not reading everything or something. "Before going off casting a spell I really think you should learn more about yourself, wicca, the tools used, and how to control your energy plus feeling it. This shouldn't take more then 3 months, but it shouldn't take less then a week. Take your time learning your in no rush." A lot of stuff you guys said to him was stuff that someone with months or something should do not what someone that just got here.
"before going off casting a spell I really think you should learn more about yourself, wicca, the tools used, and how to control your energy plus feeling it. This shouldn't take more then 3 months, but it shouldn't take less then a week."
Honestly, I have to say that many spend months upon months learning this. Some even take years to understand themselves and the way their energy moves and how to harness it. Some do take to this very easily, others not so much though. I always recommend that if you want to cast a spell, you should be studying at least a few months to get the basic concepts down, so you don't hurt yourself. Grounding and Centering is also something that one needs to know how to do as well, which from what I see, was left out. Visualization too, which is another key to making spells work, was left out at as well.
In my belief, I believe that you must do the basics and Some Energy Manipulation before you do anything involving magick, for Using energy and the techniques of the basics make up the spells or the magick. Also learning about what magick is, and who you are will help in belief in the spell, for if there is no belief, there is no will. Another problem is not letting the spell be. If you keep bugging the spells you cast, then they will not work. Bugging refurs to thinking about it 24/7 or thinking of how the spell will turn out to be. You send energies that may involve in a spell failure. You should just cast the spell and continue with life. Left the spell take it's course.
