Witchcraft for Beginners: Lesson 6

Your First Spell

If you haven’t yet cast a spell, this is a fantastic time to do so! Before we begin, it is very very important you have read lesson 5. I will be walking you through each individual part of the spell casting process:

Grounding

Also called centering, grounding is the act of connecting with the Earth and balancing your energies. Grounding gives you time to get yourself in the right headspace before a spell. It also allows you to get in-tune with the energies around you. A lot of witches will use a form of meditation to ground. If you are having trouble with grounding at first, meditating every night is an excellent way to build the skill! (This also helps with building your ability to visualize).

You can start by meditating or by following the instructions below:

Take a deep breath and visualise yourself standing at the beach. Are you standing far from the water, or are you standing in the sand? Maybe your feet are right by the water. Take a deep breath and visualise the waves crashing in the distance. Are they big waves? Or is the water calm? Take another breath, and picture the time of day. Is it a sunny bright day? Can you feel the sun on your face? Or is it a breezy night with the moon glistening in the distance? Take a deep breath. Look down at the sand. Is the sand soft under your feet? Or maybe the sand is filled with shells. Take a slow, deep breath. The last thing I want you to do to visualise is try to picture what is out on the horizon. Maybe it is the setting sun, or dolphins leaping out of the water, maybe a sailboat, or maybe nothing at all. Take a deep breath. Now, reach your hands out and touch wherever you may be sitting. Take one last deep breath as you open your eyes.

Circle Casting

When you cast a circle, you are creating a barrier between you and the outside world. It is a way to protect yourself and your sacred space.It is important to remember to not leave your circle once it is cast! Leaving it could put a hole in it and damage your barrier. So - make sure you have all your supplies before hand!! It is also important to remember to close your circle after your spell/ritual

There are lots of different ways of casting a circle, so practice lots of different ways until you find one that you like!

Optional: at this time you could make a salt circle around you but this is not a needed step

Stand or sit in the middle of where you want to cast your circle. If you know the directions of your room, face east and invite air into your space. “Air, welcome please help cleanse our space and circle, please make sure we are protected”

Now face south and invite fire into our space. “Fire, welcome please help cleanse our space and circle, please make sure we are protected”

Now face west and invite water. “Water, welcome please help cleanse our space and circle, please make sure we are protected”

Now, face North and invite Earth. “Earth, welcome please help cleanse our space and circle, please make sure we are protected”

Finally, hold your hands out above you and invite your spirit, your higher self, universal energies or even a diety if you are working with one. “Universal energies, welcome please help cleanse our space and circle, please make sure we are protected”

“with the power of the elements, the light of the full moon, and the energies within me, I cast this circle of protection around myself. I am safe here, so mote it be.”

Now Start Your Spell

Close Your Circle

If you don’t close your spell, you are leaving a sacred space unclosed. This can slowly start to drain and affect you.

*This is super super super important!!*

Take a deep breath and visualise loving energies surrounding us. You are loved, we are all protected.

Let us thank the elements for keeping us safe. Repeat after me, “Thank you air, thank you fire, thank you water, thank you Earth, thank you energies, thank you my fellow witches. We close our circles but we keep our intentions. Blessed be.” Now you can blow out any candles you had lit and you can clean up any salt that was on the ground.

What to do if you are facing eviction

Eviction protections are expiring across the United States and Canada right now, and millions of people are suddenly finding themselves facing eviction with a pandemic still raging and the start of winter just around the corner.

Not knowing where you’re going to live next month is an unbelievably scary position to be in, and there are a lot of people out there who are facing this for the first time in their lives. It’s okay to be scared. But it’s also important to start taking steps to deal with this as soon as you realize that might be at risk of eviction.

As someone who has worked in homelessness and housing advocacy my whole career, here’s what I recommend you do:

Do not leave your home. Many landlords count on their tenants not knowing or understanding their rights, and take advantage of that to try to illegally evict them without following proper procedure. I have seen landlords attempt some flagrantly illegal things during my time working with vulnerable people. Many landlords have been ignoring and violating eviction moratoriums during this pandemic. Don’t fall for it. There is a legal process that has to be followed to evict you, even if your name isn’t on the lease - your landlord cannot simply slip a note under your door ordering you out by the end of the week, no matter what they tell you. Do not leave your home until a judge orders you to do so. You may have a better shot in court than you think you do, and seeing the court process to the very end buys you valuable time to figure out your next move.

Get a lawyer. Many legal aid societies and law school legal clinics offer free legal assistance for people facing eviction. Having a lawyer can make an enormous difference - one study found that people without lawyers were evicted 65% of the time, compared to just 15% of people who had legal representation. Start calling and contacting legal aid services as soon as your landlord threatens or files eviction - these services often only do intake for new clients on certain days, so it’s a good idea to research these services ahead of time.

Understand your rights. The protections you have under the law depend on where you live - it’s critical that you take the time to educate yourself about what those protections are. Your area will likely have a Residential Tenancies Act, a Tenant Act, or something along those lines. Look online for information specific to your area. There may also be special protections and procedures in place because of the pandemic. If you live in NYC, for instance, you have a right to free legal counsel if you are facing eviction. Find out what protections you have in your area.

Contact resources in your area. Again, depending on where you live, there are different resources available. There may be a tenant support agency that can connect you to free legal resources directly. You might be eligible for unemployment benefits or emergency income. Your state or city might also have emergency funding or eviction prevention programs in place. NYC, for instance, offers “one shot deal” emergency grants that cover rental arrears for people who are facing eviction due to unexpected crises. You should also look at emergency housing options, community food banks, or other resources that can help you survive this situation. In many cities you can call 211 or 311 to learn more or about resources, or you can go online.

Attend your eviction hearing. Once you are given a date and time for your eviction hearing, it is critical that you attend. Even if you have not paid rent in several months and you think your case is hopeless, you absolutely must show up for this hearing. If you don’t attend, you will lose by default - if you attend, you may be successful in winning leniency, the opportunity to pay back rent with a payment plan and avoid eviction, or even just a few weeks’ extension on the eviction date so you have more time to come up with a plan. Attend your hearing.

Have a back-up plan. Even with legal aid resources on your side, you have to prepare for the possibility that you might not be able to fight your eviction. Buy yourself as much time as you can, and use that time to start researching possible options. Is there a cheaper room for rent that you can afford with your unemployment benefits? Do you know anyone you can stay with? Are there any housing non-profits in your area that can help? Do you have any leads on employment in the future? Explore your options, and remember that it’s okay to ask for help right now - people in your life can’t help you unless you tell them that you’re struggling.

Call your representatives. You are not the only person suffering as a result of expiring COVID protections - your elected officials need to know that letting these programs expire is having serious, dire consequences for real people that they represent. Call everyone. Call the office of your congressman, call your MP, call your state senator, your MLA, your local city counsellors. Tell your story, and make as much noise as you can. It doesn’t guarantee that anything will be done, of course, but it makes the problem harder for your elected officials to ignore.
