Hexes And Spells

Greetings, this blog is dedicated to all thing Wiccan. My name is Vivian, I am 20 years old, I have been Wiccan since I was 12. Please fell free to ask about Wicca religion, I would be more then happy to answer. ~ 'bide within the Wiccan law ye must, In perfect love and perfect trust. Live you must and let to live, Fairly take and fairly give. Mind the three-fold laws ye should: Three times bad and three times good. These eight words the ręde fulfill: "An' ye harm none, do what ye must do." '

hi! I'm considering joining the Wiccan faith but I feel that I know too little about it to make a serious decision yet. would you give me a basic outline of the faith and how to proceed if I decide to dedicate myself to it?

Good afternoon dear. No problem at all. First, some opening thoughts on key bits of our belief system — keep in mind that we are a diverse group, so while I’ve tried to be inclusive I’m talking of my path and experience. Ask another and their answer may differ, and that’s just fine. We’re both just as much a Wiccan as each other; we just express our beliefs a little differently.

The Divine We honour the polarity of The Divine, and therefore venerate both male and female deities. Some Wiccans are content to be non-specific in their choice of Gods/Goddesses – simply honouring the fact (as we see it) that there is a duality about The Divine in terms of gender – while others focus more specifically: on Isis and Osiris, say; Cerridwen and Herne, or Apollo and Athena.

Initiation

Most Wiccan covens have some kind of initiation and system of advancement through the ranks of the group. In terms of meaning the initiation is a symbolic rebirth through which the person dedicates themselves to their new path.

You don’t need to join a coven to be a Wiccan however. A self-dedication ritual is perfectly acceptable. It is how one walks the path that matters, not the nature of one’s introduction to it.

MagicThe belief in and use of magic is nigh-on universal to Wicca, no matter one’s specific branch or set of traditions. It can be a confusing thing for a person new to their path to consider – the doing of magic, the casting of spells and writing of rituals sounding like something J.K. Rowling might pen in her latest serial, not something real people get up to as acts of devotion and spiritual exercise. To the Wiccan though there is nothing supernatural about the practice. It is simply the redirection of naturally occurring energy to effect changes in the world around us – a skill that improves, as all skills do, with practice.

There are specific tools many Wiccans use for spellcrafting – an athame, crystals, herbs and candles being the most common.

What Wicca is notWicca does not embrace the concept of sin, heaven, hell, the evils of sex and nudity, Satanism, confession, animal sacrifice (first borns very much included thank you kindly), or the inferiority of women. It does not discriminate on the grounds of race, gender, sexuality or religion.

General principles There are a multitude of resources available that cover what it is to walk the Wiccan path (varied as they are). Let me quote the core tenets now. I’ll link the source in the tags >w<

The Divine is present in nature, and so nature should be honoured and respected. Everything from animals and plants to trees and rocks are elements of the sacred. You’ll find that many practicing Wiccans are passionate about the environment.

The idea of karma and an afterlife is a valid one. What we do in this lifetime will be revisited upon us in the next. Part of this idea of a cosmic payback system is echoed in the Law of Threefold Return (sometimes known as The Rule of Three).

Our ancestors should be spoken of with honour. Because it’s not considered out of the ordinary to commune with the spirit world, many Wiccans feel that their ancestors are watching over them at all times.

The Divine has polarity — both male and female. In most paths of Wicca, both a god and goddess are honoured.

The Divine is present in all of us. We are all sacred beings, and interaction with the gods is not limited just to the priesthood or a select group of individuals.

Holidays are based on the turning of the earth and the cycle of the seasons. In Wicca, eight major Sabbats are celebrated, as well as monthly Esbats.

Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Personal responsibility is the key. Whether magical or mundane, one must be willing to accept the consequences — either good or bad — of their behaviour.

Harm none, or something like it. While there are a few different interpretation of what actually constitutes harm, most Wiccans follow the concept that no harm should intentionally be done to another individual.

Respect the beliefs of others. There’s no recruiting clue in Wicca, and the Wiccans are not out to preach at you, convert you, or proselytize. Wiccan groups recognize that each individual must find their spiritual path on their own, without coercion. While a Wiccan may honour different gods than you do, they will always respect your right to believe differently.

I really hope this helps. Do feel free to come back to me if you have any further questions.

To stop a bad habit

Write or draw your bad habit on paper. Rip or cut it into little pieces, put the pieces in a bowl and chant the following:

"Habits begone, sins that haunt the present an past be banished along with my thoughts. Begone all sins that put grief on me. Be lost in the past an never return.”

Then put the paper in a plastic bag full of cold water and freeze so your habits are trapped within and won’t be released.

Quick and dirty candle infographic for the most common uses of different coloured candles. There are more, of course, but here are the basics.

A cleansing bath is basically what it sounds like: a bath to cleans you of physical dirt and negative energies. A cleansing bath is generally used before important rituals and ceremonies but can be done anytime.

To perform a ritual cleansing bath, you’ll first want to set the mood. Try to do this...

Wiccans and Satanists — much to the consternation of each — are often confused for one another. There are a number of reasons for this — self-definition as witches, a belief in magic and the use of an encircled, the pentagram as a holy symbol, to name a few — but, fundamentally speaking, the two...

Here’s a run down on the various types of crystal balls:

Clear Quartz — These are the most common and can be used for any type of scrying or gazing. Their electrical properties awaken spiritual insight and vision. A good general purpose ball.

Amethyst — the spiritual and healing stone. Amethyst is from the quartz family and is known for both its healing properties (mental, emotional, spiritual, psychic, and physical) and its ability to channel in the violet ray of highest spirituality. It’s associated with the moon, feminine energy, creativity and intuition. It’s very calming — also very expensive and harder to gaze into than clear quartz, but one of the best spheres for communication with spirit guides. They can give important information into dream activity.

Rose Quartz — the love stone. These are very loving and gentle stones to work with, good for any issue of the heart. Rose quartz will help energize and open you to the wisdom, ecstasy, and equanimity of your open heart. It’s used to help you be vulnerable, to let your distance down between people, and to feel safe. Whenever you feel the need for forgiveness in your readings, use rose quartz. One drawback in gazing with rose quartz is that it can make you feel so emotional that you can’t see past your emotions, especially if you are tired.

Smoky Quartz — the grounding and calming stone. The darker the smoky quartz, the deeper the grounding. It’s a good sphere to use with people who are overemotional or negative, or who have a tendency to throw up blocks consciously or unconsciously to psychic activity. It’s a good ball to use for clarity of dreams and for revealing an individual’s spiritual path and the best way to follow it in the physical. It’s very expensive, though.

Obsidian — Obsidian is a powerful mirror of the soul, one of the most effective for revealing what is truly reflected in the souls of others or yourself. Its blackness helps us go into the hidden places of our own minds and bring out hidden light. The stones often have concentric circles that, when focused upon, can reveal the pattern of our spiritual path and the patterns we much overcome to attain mastery. The images and visions awakened with these spheres are often blunt and always intense. They can be used for great penetration. Use an obsidian ball at Samhain for contact with your ancestors. Not considered a gazing tool for beginners.

Malachite — useful in revealing past-life connections and where present activities and patterns of behaviour are leading to the future. Also for healing issues and relationships. Good for those wishing to establish a strong connection with the earth. It can reveal the best ways of attuning to the beings and creatures of the natural world. (This includes totems, nature spirits, and devas). It can also provide insight into creativity and artistic expression. It’s a very soft stone and can be quite expensive.

Lapis, Sodalite, and Dumotierite — the psychic stones. These stones energize the third eye, the center of intuition and psychic attunement. Used for astral journeys. Lapis was so prized for these abilities that the ancient Egyptians considered it sacred. Sodalite and dumortierite have much the same feeling as lapis, but are a touch more grounding.

Yellow tiger-eye, yellow Citrine, Topaz, Ametrine, and Amber — the sunshine stones. The power of the sun is represented by all yellow stones. They can be used to reveal the brighter side of an issue, charge the reading with energy, or warm your heart.

Yellow tiger-eye — charges with sun qualities and grounds

Yellow citrine — strengthens and disperses clouds in readings

Yellow topaz — charges and lightens things up

Ametrine — mixture of amethyst and citrine, acts as a bridge to join spiritual realities with earth realities

Amber — energizes and helps in birthings, stimulates transformations, warms the heart and draws away from colder mental energies

Green Aventurine, Green Calcite, Emerald, Peridot, and Green Tourmaline — nurturing, prosperity, and abundance. Green is traditionally associated with your heart center. Rather than deal with the emotional part of the heart, green stones are used for the nurturing part of our heart, the part that relates to mother earth and all creation. Whenever you have issues in your readings having to do with money matters, or whether something will thrive, use a green sphere. Green tourmaline is useful in transforming energy states or one emotion into another. Light green spheres are useful for cooling off heated situations.

Aqua Aura, Blue Topaz, Turquoise, Blue Calcite, and Light Blue  Flourite — the sky stones. Because of their lightness and heavenly colours, the sky stones are good for lightening up anything. Use sky-stone spheres to help you uncoil tight knots of anger, lift the heavy feeling of depression, and release you from unhappiness. Unsticks readings, gives balance. Helps in communicating higher truths and visions that come from higher spirit.

Turquoise — absorbs negativity stirred up during a reading

Aqua Aura — angel stone, a clear quartz crystal that has been electronically bonded with gold. Helps connects us with angels.
