It is an internationally recognised religion, which follows the earth-bound ways of the Pagans and Druids. When we make or cast spells we follow certain guidelines to ensure that we don’t do harm to others, so our spells are only for the good of others! It is also worth remembering that we don’t cast spells to bring you fame or fortune in life – spells can help you achieve certain things only if it’s within your destiny to do so. What they do is to help you push away the negative vibes which may be surrounding you at that moment in your life and help surround you with the more positive energy that will carry you through!

For most people, casting a spell often fails to work, so they dismiss them as rubbish and often give up once they have had a failure. However, what is overlooked is the fact that preparations need to be made when casting spells and this is often the most overlooked aspect of using spells. It is our belief that in order for spells to stand a chance of being successful, the person using, or casting, the spells needs to take into consideration a number of important factors before actually setting out to perform it.

So what are these important factors? Well, a number of things can affect this, so let’s have a look at some of the major ones which are often overlooked and are key to the effectiveness in all cases.

Firstly, it’s worth knowing that in the Wicca calendar the Wiccan Year is seen as a constantly turning wheel which is divided into segments which match the changing seasons. The spiritual year begins on October 31st – which is also celebrated as Halloween. To follow the directives it is regarded as important to use the phases of the moon to influence the potency of the spell. Often you may feel you want to cast more than one spell as you feel you want help in several different areas of your life. Only you will know if this is what you want to do – we can’t advise you on that choice. However, if this is what you feel you wish to pursue, always remember that different spells have different times in the month when they are more potent than others. If you do use more than one spell you must separate them by casting them at different times as you may end up cancelling one out with the other. So always indicate what you want to do and follow any advice given to you on the matter to achieve the results you want!

NEW MOON – this is regarded as the perfect time for new beginnings in all aspects of life, with spells cast now as being important if the spell is linked to new relationship or areas of life where progress needs to be encouraged. Maybe you have just started a new job and want to improve your chances of future promotions, or maybe you are considering following a different direction in your life. It also helps those who are pursuing a new venture or hobby and want to reap the rewards to the best of their ability. As the moon gets fuller, so spells cast will get more potent.

FULL MOON – now is the time to cast those spells that are emotionally charged – maybe linked to advancing your relationships or love life – getting over a broken heart or just making that final push to launch yourself into a different direction. Maybe you want to travel the world, or start up your own business – whatever it is you desire, the full moon is the right time to activate your spell for a stronger force to help you achieve your heart desire!

Follow the rules and you will find your life is better for it!
