Potions & Powders ~ Lesson
4: Spell Writing for Your Magical Potions
Necessary
Tools of a Spell Writer
What is
really necessary when writing spells? Most importantly, the intent. A
well-thought out intent, not just a quick “this is what I want”. Whether a
spell is for a ritual or for a potion, the intent must be thought
through completely.
Consider when
asking for money to come to you “from any source”. Did you also consider that
maybe you have family somewhere that has money that would be left to you if
they passed on? Ask for the money in this manner and you may just get what you
want - - at a much greater loss. Don’t think it won’t or can’t happen. It can.
Trust me. I know from personal experience. So, to say I’m very cautious in
my spell writing and wording now, would be a major understatement. Maybe it was
their time anyway…? Maybe it wasn’t. She’d been extremely ill for years, most
of her 62 years. But did I add that one bit of energy that “pushed” it all over
the edge? I don’t know for sure, but it was certainly VERY upsetting to get
that phone call 8 hours after my spell to find out that she’d passed at about
the same time I was doing that spell. Coincidence? There are no “coincidences”
where magick is concerned.
So, besides
clear thinking and a very specific intent what else do you need? Paper and pen,
of course - duh! How about a Dictionary and a Thesaurus? I hope y’all have
those at hand also. They are very important (and not just for spell writing).
The dictionary can help you define that particular word that will be the key to
your entire intent. The thesaurus can give you other words with the same or
similar meanings that may sound or be more appropriate. Both will improve your
spells immensely.
And the most
fun thing to have is a Rhyming Dictionary! If you’re stuck on how to make that
one word rhyme and work in the spell syllabically, then the Rhyming Dictionary
is your key for that. You’ll also find words you never even considered!
If you don’t
have one or all of these on-hand in your home - GET THEM! But in the mean time
you can also use the internet, there are some online that are passable.
Simple or
Elaborate, which is better?
Do you want
to get very elaborate with your spell writing or do you want short and sweet?
Well, honestly it all depends on what your intent is and how much energy you
want to put into it. Granted, sometimes in an ‘emergency’ you have to whip one
up willy-nilly and as fast as possible. The energies are high right then and
you need to do it “NOW”. That’s fine and those can be some very powerful
spells.
By having
some of those words in your head and regular vocabulary that are in the
dictionary, thesaurus and rhyming dictionary, you’ll be able to just reel off a
spell in a heartbeat.
For the
spells that can be done at a slower pace, then taking the time to work up more
than a line or two is usually the better choice here.
Potion making
would usually fall into the latter category. The reason being that you’re
having to take the time to gather all of the materials, and while doing so
you’re thinking about the end-result the entire time.
So, depending
on the situation is what will determine the ease or extent of your written
spell. And DO write them out! Its great to go back to reference how it worked,
or where you think it should be “tweaked” to make it better. The spell becomes
a part of your Magical Potion Recipe Journal, as well as a part of your Book
of Shadows Spells.
Stanza
Formation
Do you know
what a stanza is? Many people don’t. A stanza is, by definition “a unit, a
grouping of lines, with a larger poem that is set off by a space, which usually
has a set pattern of meter and rhyme”. (“Meter” refers to a poem’s basic
rhythmic structure or verse). Stanzas can be identified and grouped together
because they share a rhyme scheme or a fixed number of lines.
Rhyming is
like drumming. Drumming puts the mind into another brainwave pattern and the
body becomes more fluid and free-flowing. Rhyming, by the same token, gets the
mind into a rhythm and makes the mental energies flow more freely. The human
mind can remember rhythms more easily than just lines of words. By making your
spells rhythmic and rhyming it is much easier to build energy towards your
intent. By the time you reach the climax of your spell, the energies then
released are greatly enhanced.
So have fun
writing your spells for ALL your magical works - including your potions!
