Discleimer: Don't start your journey as a witch by doing spells without knowing how to protect yourself.
It's important to note that the concept of spells, hexes, and curses can vary widely among practitioners. Some may follow positive and ethical paths, while others may engage in practices that involve more negative or harmful energies. Here's a general overview:
Spells:
Spells are rituals or actions performed with the intention of bringing about a specific result or change.
They can be categorized as positive (such as healing or protection spells) or negative (such as banishing or binding spells).
Spellwork often involves the use of herbs, crystals, candles, symbols, and spoken words to channel energy and focus intent.
Hexes:
A hex is typically considered a negative spell with the intent to cause harm or misfortune to the target.
Hexes are believed to work by manipulating energy to bring about negative consequences.
It's important to note that many practitioners follow the Wiccan Rede, which encourages the use of magic for positive purposes and advises against causing harm.
Curses:
Curses are similar to hexes but may be more severe or long-lasting.
They are often intended to bring about significant harm or suffering to the person targeted.
Some practitioners believe in the concept of the "Rule of Three," which suggests that any energy or intent sent out into the world, whether positive or negative, will return to the sender threefold.
I do follow the rule of three because everything comes back to you; as you sow so you shall reap. So be careful with any spell (or hexes or curses) because it may come back to you!
It's also important to approach the subject with respect and cultural sensitivity, as different traditions and individuals may have varying beliefs and practices. As with any belief system, there are diverse perspectives within the witchcraft community, and not all practitioners engage in hexes or curses.
what to do before you start a spell?
I will explain step-by-step how I prepare before any spell.
I clense my space.
I protect myself with a symbol or by praying to a god, which means that I am dedicating that spell to the specific god or asking for protection and guidance during the spell.
I prepare everything I need and clense it with smoke one by one.
The first thing I did was light up a white candle to keep track of the spell with the flame (I will do another post where I explain better how to read flames).
then I proceed to do my spell.
