How to Craft a Spell as a Christian Witch - Part 1
The 11-Step Spellcrafting Formula for the Practicing Christian Witch - Step 1
As a practicing Christian Witch and a founder of the Christian Witches Mystery School, I field a LOT of questions about Christian Witchcraft, how we cast spells, and whether Christians can practice magic. The short answer is YES, Christians can practice magic (for the hesitant among us, you may be relieved by reading the post on the Bible mistranslation of “Thou Shalt Not Suffer a Witch to Live” - A Biblical License to Kill?).
The 11-Step Spellcrafting Formula for the Christian Witch is an excerpt from my book Spellcrafting for the Christian Witch: A Compendium of Christian Witchcraft.
DISCLAIMER
A word of clarification before we dive into this spellcrafting formula:
This is not a must, or a 'have to' or anything of the kind. This is an offering, and simply that, from one practicing Christian Witch to another. Take nothing here as dogma or the 'right way' to do it. We are Witches. There is no right way to do it. The best way to do it is the way that most deeply resonates and aligns with your unique soul.
If you already have a great spellcrafting formula for your magickal practice as a Christian Witch, GREAT! You may require nothing from this material. In that case, please kindly pass it on to a practicing Christian Witch who may be a beginner or who's seeking to expand their magickal practice.
If you don't have a spellcrafting formula for your magickal practice as a Christian Witch, please use this material as INSPIRATION ONLY. Do not feel you must follow it step by step. This is one perspective among many perspectives. This is one way to do it, among countless ways to do it. Choose which of the following elements align with you and use those to build your own beautiful magickal practice and book of spells.
This is simply me sharing with you my methodology and the results it's produced for me (which are spectacular).
Let’s begin…
How does one craft a spell that WORKS?
I like to keep magick as simple as possible and yet still be profoundly potent and effective. If the job can be done with a spell or ritual that requires 3 steps, no need to add 5 more. The universe is PRECISE. I like magick to be as PRECISE, with no added fillers just for drama or to make one feel more ‘magickal.’
Before beginning, a word of caution: understand your basic tendencies. They’ll bleed into your magick, for ill or for good.
For example, I have a tendency to operate with a ‘just-in-case’ mentality. One way this expresses is with way too many items in my purse or luggage. Since I know this about myself, I can function with AWARENESS. I can be AWARE if I see myself throwing in extra steps in any magickal ritual or spell just-in-case. I can make the necessary adjustments.
Not to harp on already known wisdom, yet the maxim KNOW THYSELF is of a critical nature in Spellcrafting.
