Spell/Ritual Preparation

Picture


Ritual Area

  • This area can be anywhere that is quite & free from the distractions of everyday life.
  • It can be a dedicated area or room of your home.
  • It can be a small as the top of a buffet unit or as large as whole room.
  • The most important part of this space is how you feel in it.

Altar

  • Any flat surface on or off the ground
  • Ideally it would be a minimum of 1/2 a metre long
  • Keep it relatively uncluttered.
  • Choose safe & appropriate candle holders/containers.
  • Decorate to suit the purpose or intent.

Incense

  • Is symbolic of the spell/ritual intent raising up into the universe.
  • Avoid if you have respiratory problems or perform spells/rituals outside.
  • If you suffer from respiratory complaints it is best to use a oil warmer & a corresponding essential oil mix.
  • Follow safety precautions when burning incense, refer to Product Tips & Advice.

You

  • Best not to fast or deprive yourself of anything before performing a spell/ritual.
  • Fasting & abstinence can cause unnecessary distractions.
  • Have a clear mind, focus on the intent.
  • If you feel drawn to take a cleansing bath or shower.
  • Or clear yourself with white sage/desert sage/white copal incense.
  • Where ever possible use the actual plant product or resin.
  • Artificiality fragranted products do not have the right vibration.

Dress

  • It is not necessary to wear anything specific for energy work.
  • Intent is the primary focus.
  • Some long flowing garments can pose a fire hazard.

Candles

  • Recommended size for candles in energy work are votive, tea light & small taper.
  • The ritual candle should always be placed in the circle & preferably centre.
  • When at all possible follow the colour guide for candles (refer to Spell Kit Information).
  • If the correct colour can not be found white will substitute all colours.
  • When using white as a substitute always anoint the candle with the corresponding oil mix for the intent.
  • When anointing your candle with the corresponding oil mix focus the intent with visualization.
  • Follow safety precautions when burning incense, refer to Product Tips & Advice.

Intent

  • This is the purpose or goal of the spell/ritual.
  • Focusing on the end result of this intent/goal helps manifestation.
  • You can write this intent/goal on paper the same colour as the candle to help focus.
  • Recite a small verse (for an example refer to Spell Kit Information).
  • While reciting this place corner of the paper in the flame of the candle.
  • Then place the burning paper into a fire proof dish (cauldron).
  • Allow both the candle & the paper to burn themselves out.

Results

  • Not all spells/rituals will result in your idealized vision.
  • There are a number of reasons that they may not work.
  • The most common one is performing them from a place of fear or negativity instead of love.
  • ALWAYS ensure you are in the correct head space before performing any energy work.
  • Sometimes however it is necessary to work from these spaces when triage magicks are needed.
  • Another place is from ego or selfish gratification (i.e. revenge).
  • Trying to manipulate anthers free will may seem to work however the end result may be disastrous.
  • Usually manipulation of another's free will, just simply does not work.
  • It is hard & it can take allot of practice however it is well worth the effort once you teach yourself to do this.
  • If still the result does not manifest for you it may be simply a case of you not needing it at this point in your life.
  • If you don't need it at this point in your life it may just be delayed.
  • It may also not be something that doesn't serve your higher self.
  • Sometimes you may not have been specific enough.
  • It also could be that it has worked but just not in the way you were looking for.
  • All energy work takes effort and dedication, the more you do the better you become, the more positive your results.



When you have finished your energy work, it is a important to ground yourself, this can easily be done by walking around on the ground outside in bare feet, drinking a class or water or having a cup of herbal or black tea.  Sit in a quiet space, a place with relaxation music &/or outside if practical & relax for 1/2 hour.
