Genuine Witchcraft

Witchcraft supplies - the very word conjures up images of dark, mysterious little shops in out-of-the-way corners, rich with the scent of exotic witchcraft supplies, and in every corner some new and fascinating witchcraft supplies like rare crystals or body parts of formerly cute furry animals.

Possibly it’s their lists of witchcraft supplies – herbs, incenses, metals, crystals and so on – that make people think of cookbooks when they peruse compendia of spells. If so, it’s worth recalling that, just as the finest ingredients won’t help us whip up a soufflé if we don’t have an oven, spellcraft requires the energy of the mental and emotional state of the spell caster. This isn’t to suggest that the ingredients of spells are purely placebos (after all, the soufflé will prove tricky without egg whites). But let’s put them to one side for a while and focus on the psychology behind this will to redesign reality.

The better authors in the field make it clear that a spell book isn’t really the equivalent of 150 Astonishing Meatloaves. It’s more like sheet music: valuable to those who have put the effort into learning how to read music and perhaps play an instrument, but bookshelf clutter to those who haven’t.

The best witchcraft supplies in the world won’t make your spell a success. And spells cst with no witchcraft supplies at all can be much more powerful than elaborate rituals with five types of all the imaginable witchraft supplies, all color-coded and smell-suited to the date, time, mood and gender of the spell caster.

Witchcraft supplies are not a substitute for discipline, practice, clearing, proper preparation, and a good understanding of the internal facets of spellcraft. In fact, witchcraft supplies can get in the way, distracting the beginner witch into fussing over candle colors instead of focusing and centring his or her Magickal energies.

Witchcraft supplies are definitely a two-edged sword. Used well, witchcraft supplies can certainly provide a point of focus, and boost the relevant energies. In the wrong hands, though, witchcraft supplies can become the medium which obscures the message.

To find out how to work Magick without needing witchcraft supplies, read The Inner Circle.

Beginner witchcraft is one of the most abused and misrepresented areas of witchcraft. It is difficult to find good information about beginner witchcraft, because so many vultures are hovering out there, waiting to prey on the earnest seeker of honest information about beginner witchcraft.

Bookshops and websites today are filled almost to the point of popping with guides to Beginner Witchcraft: Witchcraft 101, some inspiring, some uninspiring and some very close to expiring. You really, really don’t need another explanation of how to pronounce “Samhain” or which end of an athame to hold or how to differentiate Witchcraft and Ceremonial Magic/Druidry/Satanism/Jo Rowling and so on. The truth is out there, along with any number of fascinating lies about beginner witchcraft.

What’s a bit thinner on the ground is literature that leads from the outer to the inner circles of Witchcraft, and books that do purport to do so can make for a pretty rum old read. Many of them work on the assumption that the more privy to secret traditions the author appears to be, the more humbly appreciative the reader ought to feel for such shadows of ghosts of secrets beyond beginner witchcraft are hinted at in the tome.

There’s nothing very novel about this technique – it was used to great effect by many of the most influential people in the magical word, from Helena Blavatsky to Gerald Gardner (who was positively nutty about the notion). Aleister Crowley, no stranger to the technique, was memorably grumpy when on the receiving end, grumbling about an Order that “swore me to secrecy with terrible oaths and threats of death, and then revealed to me the Hebrew alphabet” - which is certainly something at the beginner end of beginner witchcraft, rather than an advanced magical secret!

Witchcraft and spells - they go together like toast and honey, don’t they? Witchcraft spells form the backbone of a witch’s arsenal, but witchcraft spells alone are actually completely worthless.

These days, if you were to toddle into your local bookshop, close your eyes and fling a dart, there’s a reasonably good chance you’d hit a witchcraft spell book. There’s an even better chance that you’d be forcibly ejected from the shop shortly thereafter, so I’m not advocating this practice. It does, though, make the point that this literary genre has never been more popular.

Witchcraft spells burst forth from this cornucopia of printed waffle - witchcraft spells to find twoo wuv, witchcraft spells to hog-tie that wayward ex and drag them back, witchcraft spells to make us sexier, smarter, stronger, healthier and, of course witchcraft spells to make us wealthy beyond our wildest dreams.

The biggest Witchy complaint against witchcraft spell books is that the spells within in them don’t (or possibly can’t) work. The spell book, it’s argued, looks comparable to a recipe book, but whereas Delia Smith can reliably lead most of us through the creation of an omelette, the compiler of spells is less likely to guide the average punter to health, wealth and insuperable sexual charisma.

There’s some validity to this, but the better authors in the field make it clear that the spell book isn’t really the equivalent of “150 Astonishing Meatloaves”. It’s more like sheet music: valuable to those who have put the effort into learning how to read music and perhaps play an instrument, but bookshelf clutter to those who haven’t.

The Evil Eye and witchcraft are quite different beasties. There is much scare-mongering and misinformation to the effect that witches who practice witchcraft with the evil eye can curse people and cause anything from the souring of milk in the cow to people dropping dead for no apparent reason at all.

Frankly, it’s a load of codswallop.

Curses happen an awful lot on telly and films, but you can go very many years doing this stuff without hearing of anybody at all credible reporting that they’ve either sent or received such a thing.

What you have going here is merely your standard Mafia protection racket in magical clothing.

Definitely people can unleash ill-will at each other magically the same way as they can in conversation, but that sort of spell is really no more serious than the verbal dust-up would be.

Basic magical procedures have an awful lot of protective material built into them. The whole idea of casting circles is to be both a place to contain magic that’s being raised so you can direct it, and also to be a boundary against anything from the outside that you may not want coming in.

The flying feathers, fear and foment over witchcraft and the evil eye are simply lingering superstitions from the days before we knew what caused mastitis in cows and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in humans.

There is a fundamental law of attracting things in witchcraft, and the evil eye is something you would do to someone you found utterly repulsive. Genuine witchcraft and the evil eye are fundamentally incompatible.

To find out how to protect yourself from curses, including the Evil Eye, using nothing more than common household objects, read The Inner Circle.

Looking for free real witchcraft spells? Many people are.

And why do you want free real witchcraft spells? Do you want free real witchcraft spells to find “true love”, free real witchcraft spells to hog-tie that wayward ex and drag them back, free real witchcraft spells to make you sexier, smarter, stronger, healthier and, of course, free real witchcraft spells to make you wealthy beyond your wildest dreams?

The problem with free real witchcraft spells is that they are not worth the paper they are printed on.

There is a tradition that witchcraft is free, but that tradition applies more to the casting of spells on behalf of family and friends, not the handing of trade secrets to total strangers. Real witchcraft is so much more than spells. Even if you were to find free real witchcraft spells somewhere, chances are that they would be useless to you.

The biggest Witchy complaint against written spells is that the spells don’t (or possibly can’t) work. The written spells look comparable to a recipe, but whereas Delia Smith can reliably lead most of us through the creation of an omelette, the compiler of spells is less likely to guide the average punter to health, wealth and insuperable sexual charisma.

Free real witchcraft spells are no more than electronic bookmark clutter if you haven’t learned how to work magic. The free spells you will find online often contain expensive ingredients which, co-incidentally, are supplied BY the writer of the free spells. Go figure.

No amount of expensive ingredients and no free real witchcraft spells can take the place of the study, practice and discipline required to learn how to actually work magic for yourself. Once you understand the principles of real witchcraft, you will understand why a search for free real witchcraft spells is futile. Real witches don’t need written spells.
