What is a Spell? Magick is NOT Magic!

Abracadabra!  I will create as I speak!

That is the actual ancient Aramaic translation of the word.

Many who belong to "mainstream" religions have a view of the Magickal religions that is so skewed I feel it necessary to post a little educational information for you.

First of all, let's talk about SPELLS!

What is a spell?

A spell is a very emotionally charged incantation, often accompanied by ritual practices such as candle burning and incense burning, that is done by an individual to achieve their goals and satisfy their desires.  It is usually poetic in nature and those who follow the Magickal Paths believe that their Deities appreciate the rhythm of the spells' flow and will grant more readily if the spell is well performed, sincere.

What is a prayer?

A prayer is a very emotionally charged incantation, often accompanied by ritual practices such as candle burning and incense burning, that is done by an individual to achieve their goals and satisfy their desires.  It is usually poetic in nature and those who follow the Religious Paths believe that their Deities appreciate the rhythm of the prayers' flow and will grant more readily if the prayer is well performed, sincere.

Do all spells work?  No.

Do all prayers work?  No.

Can anyone guarantee a spell?  No.

Can anyone guarantee a prayer?  No.

Magick is not magic, it is not Abracadabra!  Your Lover Returns.

If you are from a mainstream religion and curious about spells, it is in your best interest to stick to the prayers (rituals) of your own religion to try to manifest your desires, as your energy and your belief systems will be in tune.

If you are not from a Magickal Religion, and you still wish to try to do spell work, remember, Spells are nothing more than powerful prayers, there are no guarantees, but focusing your energy on your spellwork is empowering in the sense that it makes you feel that you are taking control of a situation that you otherwise have no control over.

I was raised Catholic, and I am still a Christian, I have studied spells in depth and realized that the Catholic Religion is filled with spells and rituals, I just never understood it.  When you light a candle in a church for someone, that is a spell.  It makes sense as Christianity did evolve from the pagan cultures of the ancients, so there is a lot of overlap.

If you wish to learn about spells, how to do them, how to customize them, how to manifest with your own personal energy those things you want, I can teach you about it if you call me, but I DO NOT perform spells FOR people like you see advertised elsewhere, that would be like canvasing people to pay you to pray for them.  It's just not my cup of tea.  I will teach you anything you wish to know, help you compose your spells or even sell you via pay to view email information on how to compose them or perform them, but I strongly recommend that you stick to the faith that you are comfortable with and utilize the magick contained in your own religious system.

Bright Blessings!
