8 Quick Tips for Writing Your Own Witchcraft Spells and Rituals

When you start out, you will probably use spells and rituals written in books by others. But eventually, you will want to write your own spells and rituals. Your words, being more personal to you, have much more power for you. It would be better if you could speak from your heart during the magic rite, without reading it from the “cheat sheets”. For this reason, I like to keep everything I do pretty basic and simple, so that I can easily memorize the basic outline I’ll be using. And then once I’m doing the ritual, if something flows through me, I can add and / or modify it to suit the moment. I have found that the best magic is spontaneous and flows from the moment. However, for the events that I have more notice for, such as Sabbaths, I will take the time to write a basic outline that will help me express all my thoughts and ideas and help me get the creative juices flowing.

Here are 8 quick tips you can use when you are ready to create your own spells and rituals.

Tip 1: determine the purpose of the spell or ritual. Make sure your intention is as clear as possible. I suggest that you keep your intention as simple as possible and limit yourself to one thing at a time. It will help you better focus your energy.

Tip 2: determine what ritual aspects are necessary for your purpose. Ritual aspects include things like setting up your altar, casting the circle, calling the Watchtowers, and summoning spirits or deities. Not every ritual / spell you do will require all of these steps. For the more formal rites, I will make a formal circle, but sometimes it is enough to light a candle and declare the room as a sacred space. It depends on the effect you are looking for, you should choose what seems suitable for you.

Tip 3: Determine which tools correspond to your purpose, including oils, candles, herbs, stones, animal totems, and ritual tools. Remember, none of these things are required. These things help guide your energy and focus your intention, but the real power comes from within you.

Tip 4: Determine the presence of who will request. (Gods, Goddesses, Angels, Elementals, Fae, Jinn, etc.)

Tip 5: determine the best time.

Tip 6: Determine where it will take place.

Tip 7: Put it all together. Write the entire ritual or spell with spoken words in quotation marks.

Tip 8: memorize your ritual and your words.
