Introduction
the Industrial Revolution came and went and people turned to science to
solve many of their problems, the practice of turning to nature to solve
these problems went on all over the ‘civilized’ world. So it was not
strictly reborn: ‘resurfaced’ would be a better word.
We will look briefly at witchcraft around the world.
We will explain as many aspects of modern-day witchcraft as is possible
within the confines of these pages! And in laying down how to use
magic, and how to cast many spells that have proved effective for many
witches, we hope to banish much of the scepticism in which this ancient
art continues to be held.
Of course there is a lot of hocus-pocus but at its heart, 21st-century
witchcraft holds undoubted truths and powers that anyone who comes
to believe in them can draw on and use for the good of all.
It should be pointed out that casting spells is an intensely personal thing.
What worked wonderfully well for one magicmaker may not be quite so
powerful in the hands of another. If a spell calls for a particular essential
oil and experience shows that an alternative works better, then it is
usually quite in order to substitute the one for the other.
Efficient spell casters keep a record in their Book of Shadows, or
grimoire, of every spell they cast and when they cast it.
Another thing that should be pointed out is that it takes time for a spell
to work, so don't expect immediate results – at least not most of the
time.
One change that will happen quickly, though, is one that happens inside
you. In putting yourself more in tune with nature, with the flow of the
seasons, the cycles of the moon and all the other wonders that are there
to be appreciated you will soon become a more relaxed and more
complete person.
The benefit can go deeper. Many spell casters use vizualizing techniques
to help them with their magic. But it is not just in their magic that the
benefits are felt – these techniques can be used at any time, in any
circumstance where it is necessary to clear the mind and focus it
properly: a great asset in the modern, competitive workplace.
And in casting spells to create and spread (for want of a better word)
‘goodness’ – be it in matters of health, wealth or happiness – spell
weavers can smile on themselves, which, as long as smugness or
sanctimony are not allowed to creep in, is beneficial to the magic-
maker’s own health and happiness.
A caveat! Spells should never be cast for nefarious purposes – to bring
bad luck to someone or to get revenge for an ill-thought action by
another. Witches believe that what goes out comes back, not once, but
three times! Be warned.
