About the Author

Introduction

What Is Magick?

According to Aleister Crowley, one of magick’s most notorious bad boys, “Every intentional act is a magical act.” Basically, this means that whenever you set a goal for yourself, then focus your willpower toward achieving your goal, you activate energy and begin shaping it to suit your purposes. Energy, as you know, is the raw material that makes up our Universe. By molding energy, you literally create your own reality

Magick is all in the mind. Before something can materialize in the physical world, somebody first has to imagine it. An architect envisions a house before it can be built. You do the same thing when you perform magick—you create a mental image of the result you intend to produce, then fuel it with your will and emotions. Of course, to build a house you need hammers, saws, and other tools. In magick, spells are the tools you use to fabricate your wishes.

Underlying all magick is a simple physics principle: Every action produces a reaction. Remember that old computer axiom, garbage in, garbage out? Magick is like that, too: If you put bad thoughts and feelings in, you’ll get bad stuff out. And vice versa. So, be careful what you ask for!

Magick Isn’t Just Black and White

When another driver cuts you off or grabs your parking space do you rattle off a string of colorful curses? When your boss dumps a rush project on your desk at 4:57 Friday evening, do you imagine all sorts of nasty things happening to him during the weekend? If so, you’re performing black magick!

People usually associate black magick with wicked witches and wayward wizards—and to be sure, conniving conjurers like that do exist. But most black magick is performed by ordinary men and women who don’t even realize they’re doing it.

Magick can be broken down into three categories: black, white, and gray. Not surprisingly, the gray areas are the sticky ones. Although some magicians might guibble with my definitions, here’s a simple explanation of the three types.

Black magick means anything done to harm someone else.

White magick is done to obtain higher knowledge, evolve spiritually, or strengthen your connection with the Source.

Gray magick includes everything else.

As you can see, most magick—including the spells in this book—falls into the gray area.

Shades of Gray

Let’s get one thing straight—there’s nothing wrong with doing magick to get what you want. In fact, that’s the reason most of us perform spells. You can use magick just as you use your talents to improve your lot in life. But if you injure someone else in order to achieve your own objectives, you’re crossing the line from gray to black magick.

Wicca, the spiritual path many modern-day Western witches follow, puts it concisely: “Do what you will, but harm none.” Now that seems plain enough, doesn’t it? A spell designed to kill your business partner so you get total control of the company and your joint assets obviously falls into the black category. A spell to steal your sister’s husband? Black again.

But what about doing magick to get a job that your best friend also wants? Or to win the heart of that really cute guy you met at a party Saturday night (the one who didn’t ask for your phone number)? Now we’re talking shades of gray.

Some spells fall at the “silver” end of the spectrum, others at the “nimbus” end. But sometimes it’s kind of hard to tell. Even well-intended spells may infringe on another person’s free will. Believe me, I’ve been there, done that. And most witches, if they’re honest, will admit they have too.

Here’s an example. Let’s say your brother is sick and you decide to do a spell to heal him. Sounds like a positive use of magick, right? Well, maybe yes, maybe no. Perhaps your brother has been pushing himself too hard and needs a rest big-time, but the only way his body can get him to slow down is to send him to bed with the flu. His illness is actually serving a good purpose; therefore, doing a get-well spell could be interfering with his body’s natural protective processes. See what I mean about gray areas?

Many spells are considered “bad” because they’re manipulative. Let’s talk some more about that cute guy from the party. And let’s say you know for a fact he’s not involved with anyone else. Isn’t it okay to go for it? Again, the answer is maybe. In situations like this, you need to ask yourself a couple of guestions. One, if he isn’t interested in you, are you interfering with his own free will by doing a spell to snag him? Two, do you really want someone who’s not that into you or would you be better off with someone else?

Okay, I admit, this is a toughy. Love spells are the ones people most often misuse. The best way to handle this dilemma is to add a “disclaimer” at the end of your spell, something like “if this is for our highest good.” This allows the Universe to make the final decision and take responsibility for the outcome. You’re off the hook—if the relationship isn’t right, it won’t happen. An even better approach is to do a spell to attract a partner who is right for you in every way. Don’t specify who that might be, let the Universe send you the perfect lover.

How can you decide if the spell you’re doing is naughty or nice? Consider the possible conseguences—are you willing to accept what happens? Would you advise your best friend to do it? How would you react if someone did it to you? Trust your feelings—if you don’t feel right about it, don’t do it.

Using the Spells in This Book

The spells in this book fall into the “gray area.” Some are nice; some are just a bit naughty. To warn you ahead of time, I’ve done what the motion picture industry does with films—I’ve rated the spells according to a “grayscale” standard.

silver = nice and safe ?

fog = not usually harmful, but maybe a little murky ?

smoky = where there’s smoke, there may be fire; use caution ?

nimbus = like dark clouds, these can lead to stormy conditions; proceed at your own risk ?

Often, your intention is the only difference between one category and the next. The way you word a spell can shift it from fog to smoky or even nimbus. Some spells are ranked darker because they are potentially more powerful and reguire more skill. Others, like X-rated films, get a nimbus rating due to their sexual content.

Before you do a dark spell, consider whether you can produce the same result using a slightly lighter touch. I’m not saying you should avoid the smoky or nimbus spells—they can be very powerful and exciting—but they do involve more risk and aren’t for beginners. Remember, the choice is always yours.

Gnome Abundance Spell

rating: smoky

Gnomes are invisible entities who expertly handle matters such as finances and worldly goods. 1f you belriend them, they’ll help you get all kinds of goodies—but if they don’t like you they’re not above playing nasty tricks.

Best times to perform this spell:

During the waxing moon

When the sun or moon is in Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn

Ingredients or equipment needed:

A piece of jewelry

1. While in meditation, visualize yourself entering a cave deep in the earth. Find your way to the center, where you meet a small, troll-like creature—a gnome. Introduce yourself and be respectful. Explain that you need money or desire a particular material object, and ask the gnome to help you acquire it. Sometimes gnomes can seem grouchy or stub born, so be patient. If you hold negative attitudes toward wealth (such as believing that money is the root of evil), the gnome probably won’t come to your aid. If the gnome agrees to assist you, thank him/her and leave the cave.

2. Come out of your meditation. Take a piece of jewelry to a park or the woods and bury it near a tree or rock. Say, “Gnome, I offer this gift in thanks for your help, knowing you will bring me [whatever you seek].”

With a partner you trust, agree that each of you will formulate a potion for the other. Ideally, the potions should be designed to help the other person overcome a problem or attract a benefit, but it’s entirely up to you!

Explain the situation(s) you are concerned about and ask for their assistance. For the most part, they are compassionate beings, but if you hold negative attitudes toward your emotions, the ondines probably won’t have anything to do with you. Note: After they’ve helped you with your problem(s), show gratitude by giving them more perfume to enlist their continued friendship.

About the Author

Introduction

What Is Magick?

The Buddha taught that we create the world with our thoughts. In a sense, he was describing the magickal process, for the mind is the most important factor in magickal work. Here’s another way to look at it. Before something can materialize in the physical world, somebody must first imagine it. An architect envisions a house before it can be built. You do the same thing when you perform magick—you create a mental image of the result you intend to produce, then fuel it with your willpower and emotion. You are the architect of your own life.

Of course, to build a house you need hammers, saws, and other tools. In magick, spells are the “tools” you use to fabricate your wishes. When you do a spell, you activate your own creative energy and blend it with the energies embodied by the ingredients that you use in the spell—plants, gemstones, etc.—in order to shape an outcome. Energy, as you know, is the raw material that makes up our Universe. By molding energy through the use of spells, rituals, and other magickal practices, you literally create your own reality.

As you perform the spells in this book, remember that magick isn’t inherently dangerous, or evil, or difficult. In fact, you’re doing magick all the time, whether or not you realize it. The important thing is to be aware of your thoughts, emotions, and actions, and to use your magickal power with clear intent, so you can produce the results you truly desire.

4. Before retiring for the night, ring the bell over your bed three times to chase away any disruptive or unbalanced energies.

Spirit Animal Assistance

rating: fog

Shamans often invoke the assistance of spirit or “totem” animals. You, too, can draw on the abilities of animal guides to enhance your own power.

Best times to perform this spell:

Anytime

Ingredients or equipment needed:

A statuette of the animal you wish to emulate

1. Think of an animal that possesses qualities you desire. For example, elephants are incredibly strong, eagles are known for their keen vision, dogs are loyal, tigers are fierce and fearless.

2. Find a small statuette of this animal.

3. Calm and center yourself, while you hold the figurine in your hand. Ask the animal to imbue you with its strength, patience, gentleness, wisdom, courage, etc. so that you may be better equipped to deal with whatever challenge is facing you.

4. Act out behavior that’s characteristic of the animal-roar like a lion or walk as slow as a turtle, for instance. Imagine the qualities you desire becoming part of your own nature—you might even sense yourself merging with the animal temporarily. Invite your animal helper to visit you in your dreams.

5. Display the statuette where you will see it often and s touch it whenever you seek its assistance. Note: Remember to thank the animal for helping you.
