Magic Spells or Magick Spells (as they are sometimes called), incantations, rituals, potions, charms, ancient rites, or invocations can be, and are, used for power over or manipulation of the forces of the natural world. Magick spells cast to affect oneself, an inanimate object, a force of nature, or another person are common.
Of extreme importance is the incantation, or the words of the magic spell. Some incantations are passed from witch to witch, or a witch may create others as special needs arise, but spells are like magickal recipes, if not prepared properly—they will not work.
Perhaps the most important ingredient of the Magic Spell is the Witch. Some believe that "pure intent" on the part of the witch is the only thing necessary for successful spell casting, but this has never been proven as true. A magic spell is a combination of ingredients and none can be omitted if you expect the spell to work.
Modern-day witches continue to keep their magick spells in a book called a "Book of Shadows" or a "Grimoire." After casting, witches record each spell, an exact rendering of the spell and the results obtained; information, such as the time of day, date, weather, and incantation used, lunar cycle or anything unusual is written, drawn, or pasted into the book. In this way, the book and the witch's personal power grow together, with their own array of magic tailored to their own special powers and needs.
