Spell casting 101


    A lot of times in online Wiccan groups I see people asking how do you cast a spell and looking over a lot of the material out their I see a lot for spells made for this or that effect but nothing about the bare bones of a standard spell form.
   Now for the most part I try on this blog to keep it to a bit of philosophy and musings about various religious subject and avoid actual instruction, but as it seems to be a recurring thing I will label it out as it was taught to me.

 Step one: cleanse self ground center and focus before you start anything so you don’t bring any negativity with you in to the casting.

Step two: cleanse object you will be using if they have been used in previous spell work. 

Step three: charge object with magical energy that is focus toward your intentions for the spell.

Step four: Create your sacred space for the spell by casting your circle making sure you have everything you need with in reach and enough room to move about as needed. 

Step five: charge your self for the spell by channeling universal energy 

Step six: cast spell (whatever it my be) 

Step seven: put out candles and clean up anything not supposed to be left out such as bits of ribbon and so on.

Step eight: cleanse self again ground and center releasing excess energy to the universe. 
Step nine: thank the god or goddess you used 

Step ten: cleanse objects that are not still in use.

Step eleven: cleanse sacred space and open the circle.

This is the simple skeleton of casting any spell or performing a ritual. The seemingly constant cleansing is to prevent unintended thoughts emotion and all that from attaching its self to you or your spell and to keep them from lingering after  you are done.
