The Book of Shadows
Certain elements common to many of the spells have not been listed
each time. These include:
The four candles used to evoke the elements’ blessings and altar
candles
Candle holders
Matches or tapers
An essential oil burner
A fireproof dish in which to put spent matches and tapers
Tissues to clean any spilt materials
Ensure that you have everything you are going to need in place before
performing the opening rituals. Having to go and collect something that
has been forgotten is not only time-consuming, it breaks concentration
which is one of the most important ingredients of any spell. Also leaving
and re-entering the circle weakens it. So, let your motto be, ‘Be
prepared’.
Many of the incantations may read like little more than doggerel – bad
doggerel at that! Please don’t be put off by that. Magic makers can’t be
expected to be Shakespeare! The words we have chosen are suggestions.
Feel free to use your own words!
After each part of a spell has been performed, and at the end of the magic
making, it is common practice to ask that, in making your magic work,
the powers in whose presence the spell is made do harm to no one.
The words we have chosen – And let it be done, that it harm no one –
are popular with many magic makers. But any suitable words may be
used.
May the magic you make be successful. And let it be done that it harm
no one.
