Book
of Shadows:
A Book of Shadows is a Witch's personal magick diary, with notes on what
rituals and magick have been performed, when it was performed, what
kind of results were obtained, or anything else that a Witch might
experience. |
Spell
Begging
Begging other witch's for their spells. It is considered bad form. Witches
are usually very cautious about sharing spells, especially with strangers.
Most witches consider themselves to be responsible for any misuse of a
spell that is given away, and there are lots of ways for a spell to go
wrong in inexperienced hands. There are two ways to learn
spells: You can find an experienced witch who will accept you as a
student and learn under that witch’s guidance. Or you can read
books on witchcraft and learn the general principles and develop your own
spells.

Wiccan
Rede
Bide
the Wiccan laws ye must, in perfect love and perfect trust.
Live and let live—fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the Circle thrice about to keep all evil spirits out.
To bind the spell every time, let the spell be spake in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch—speak ye little, listen much.
Deosil go by the waxing Moon—sing and dance the Wiccan Rune.
Widdershins go when the Moon doth wane, and the werewolf howls by the
dread wolfsbane.
When the Lady’s Moon is new, kiss the hand to Her times two.
When the Moon rides ar Her peak, then your heart’s desire seek.
Heed the North wind’s might gale—lock the door and drop the sail.
When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss thee on the mouth.
When the wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast.
When the West wind blows o’er thee, departed spirits restless be.
Nine woods in the Cauldron go—burn them quick and burn them slow.
Elder be ye Lady’s tree—burn it not or cursed ye’ll be.
When the Wheel begins to turn, let the Beltane fires burn.
When the Wheel has turned to Yule, light the Log and let Pan rule.
Heed ye flower, bush and tree — by the Lady blessed be.
Where the rippling waters go, cast a stone and truth ye’ll know.
When ye are in dire need, hearken not to others’ greed.
With the fool no season spend, or be counted as his friend.
Merry meet and merry part — bright the cheeks and warm the heart.
Mind the Threefold Law ye should — three times bad and three times good.
When misfortune is enow, wear the blue star on thy brow.
True in love ever be, unless thy lover’s false to thee.
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill — an ye
harm none, do what ye will.
