SPELLS
The Language of Desire, Bound by Will, Spoken in Flame
"Every spell is a threshold—between pain and power, longing and becoming."
Pause. Take a deep breath. Let the breath gather where your questions live.
This is not a library of wishes. This is not spellcasting as trend, nor magic as escape.
This is where emotion becomes energy, and energy is given instruction.
A spell is not about belief. It is about alignment. It is the moment where:
-
Feeling meets form
-
Desire meets discipline
-
Action meets ancient design
When cast properly, spells are not hopeful.
They are precise.
They are acts of co-creation between the self, the world, and the unseen that listens.
If you’ve ever whispered into darkness and felt it lean closer… you already know.
When Spells Begin to Matter
Most people come to spells when their hearts are tired of waiting. When reason has done all it can. When the wound has been named, but not yet healed.
This chapter is a salve for that place. It teaches you not just how magick works—but why it hasn’t, until now.
It reaches into the part of you that has always known: there must be more than luck. More than chaos. More than hope.
This is where that knowing finds form.
A Spell for Shedding — Before You Build
There is no spell that works cleanly when cast with full hands.
This is not just about letting go. It’s about returning to your true shape—the one not burdened by stories you didn’t write, or expectations you outgrew.
This working is sacred grief. Sacred rage. Sacred permission to stop carrying what was never truly yours.
It is your first spell. And perhaps your first honest breath in a long time.
You’ll need:
-
A black candle (unlabeled, unscented)
-
A small slip of unlined paper
-
A flame-safe bowl
-
10 undisturbed minutes
The Rite:
-
Sit alone. Feet bare. Touch the earth or wood beneath.
-
On the paper, write what must be released. Not abstract. Be precise.
-
Light the candle. Let the flame steady. Then speak, slowly:
What shaped me once— no longer fits the form I now carry. Return to ash, unnamed. -
Burn the paper. Watch it.
-
Do not look away until the last coal dies.
-
When it’s done, whisper:
Let what is gone, be gone. Let what is mine, come.
This is not symbolic. This is a signal.
The work has already begun.
What Your Soul Might Remember Through This
You will not simply learn spells. You will remember how to move energy through meaning.
Each spell here is a reflection—not of folklore, but of function. They echo systems once encoded into parchment by hands that knew silence, breath, and rhythm were not poetic metaphors… but mechanisms.
These teachings stir:
-
The breath that deepens before truth is spoken
-
The stillness that happens just before intention becomes word
-
The felt-sense of walking between worlds—one foot in story, one in structure
From ancient texts like the Picatrix and Book of Abramelin, you’ll begin to glimpse:
-
Why lunar tides shift spell intent
-
How element and planetary influence overlap in layered timing
-
What makes some words open gates, and others ring hollow
You will:
-
Learn how to choose when to speak, not just what
-
Reclaim rhythm—not productivity—as the core of transformation
-
Direct emotional energy like breath through a reed—deliberate, powerful, steady
You may not understand it all at once. But your body will. Your breath will. And that’s how you’ll know it’s working.
What Comes After the First Spell
Let’s not pretend: this path changes things.
Once you begin, the way you speak, feel, and decide—shifts.
Because you are no longer waiting for change. You are causing it.
From here, the path deepens—not with performance, but with precision.
The old texts knew this. The Picatrix doesn’t simply list spells—it details how each planetary hour shapes intent differently.
The Book of Shadows doesn’t just rhyme—it encodes emotional resonance into rhythmic charge. The Book of Abramelin warns that words alone mean nothing without purification, timing, and silence.
Here you begin to:
-
Build workings that match element to emotion, moon phase to memory, hour to honesty
-
Construct seals not to impress, but to contain—shaped in alignment with the will and the word
-
Sense when a spell needs repetition, when it needs anchoring, or when it simply needs to rest
This isn’t craft for show. It is spellcraft as inner alignment, energetic engineering, and symbolic integrity.
“What if the reason it never worked before… was because you hadn’t yet asked with your whole voice?”
Now breathe again. Say nothing. Feel everything. Then ask yourself:
What is it I’m truly ready to cast?
The Weight of the Wand — Why Tools Matter
The deeper you walk this path, the more you’ll crave to make it real—not just in thought, but in hand. Tools are not accessories. They are echoes. They anchor meaning, direct energy, and speak when words fail.
In texts like the Clavicula Salomonis, the Book of Abramelin, and the Picatrix, every object—candle, seal, herb, ink—served a function beyond the physical. These were not materials. They were bridges.
Here’s what you’ll come to understand as your practice grows:
-
The power of consecration—how an object becomes sacred through intention and use
-
The role of planetary days and hours—not as superstition, but as energetic alignment
-
Why working with tools builds reliability in spellcraft, just as compass and astrolabe guide the mariner
Examples drawn from tradition:
-
In the Book of Abramelin, words written on virgin parchment held authority over spirits—but only when inscribed at proper time and under silence
-
In the Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, seals were drawn with specific planetary inks—each line shaped to resonate with the names invoked
These were not “extras.” They were the difference between speaking and being heard.
Let this remind you:
Spellwork is not a mental exercise.
It is a full-body, multi-layered ritual act.
Let what you touch, hold, and prepare carry as much intention as the words you speak.
This is not about aesthetics.
This is about accuracy.
This is about respect—for the forces you’re choosing to engage.
Your breath speaks.
Your tools remember.
Your will is what binds them together.
Taking the Next Step
You’ve felt the shift, haven’t you? The way your words took form, the way the air thickened with purpose. But this is just the beginning. The path of spellcraft changes everything—not with grand gestures, but with precise, aligned intention.
If you’re ready to move beyond the surface and delve into the ancient principles that root spells in reality, then it’s time to go deeper.
