Spell to Strengthen the Witch Within by takhisis

[Dept of PMM Artists & things]

The image of the witch is at the root of our cultural past. To embrace and affirm this aspect of ourselves is to tap the power of tradition, longevity and cellular memory. Once we understand ourselves, harmony sets in.

 

In preparing for your spell, first do some serious thinking about just what the image of the witch means to you. Make a list of all her qualities, her powers, her names and how she looks. What she wears, thinks, feels, etc. See her in your mind's eye with as much clarity and detail as possible.

 

This spell should be cast three times, at the new, full and the dark of the month. 

 

Ingredients:

Large piece of parchment paper

Pen

Two purple candles

Moon Oil (recipe following spell)

Power incense

A small moonstone

 

Arrange your altar. Carve moons and symbols that have meaning to you into your candles. Anoint them with oil. Anoint yourself as well, on brow, heart, and hands. Seat yourself comfortably  and light the candles saying:

 

"With this flame, I awaken the witch within me"

 

Light the incense. Close your eyes and breathe deeply for a while, relax and let go. Bathe yourself and your aura in white light. Keep breathing deeply as you begin to sway and weave, letting your body move in a circular motion. Empty yourself of all anxieties and distractions. When you feel flowing and peaceful, let your imagination fill up with your inner Witch. Take up the parchment and pen and make a sketch of her (don't worry about style or quality; the simpler the better).

 

Write your impressions  and ideas beneath the drawing. Set this up between the candles so that it is facing you. Take the moonstone and clasp it to your heart. Keep breathing and weaving as you fill yourself with the image on the parchment.

 

Draw the Witch image into yourself, see her multiplied a thousand-fold, vibrating in every cell of your body. Repeat the following incantation three times:

 

"I am willing to be different and strong

I am willing to be different and beautiful

I am willing to be different and free

I am willing to be different from patriarchy

For this difference is the same

Sameness with the Non-Linear

World of Magick, The Goddess

Her forces, My dreams

The moon, My feelings, My creativity

My passion, My deep love, Of all creation...

And the only conforming I need to do

Is Forming Creation, For I am form

And I am forming, To universal law

And therefore mu! St survive...

And even though I may at times

Feel alone and misunderstood

I will remember that I have sisters out there

Who are learning to be free, Like me

And that I am not alone, But all One

And that free women were respected

And loved, and will be again

And will be again, and will be

I will it to be, I will it to be

And so doth it be, Forever, and ever

So be it, Blessed be"

 

As you repeat this chant let your words flow rhythmically as you weave and sway, let your voice create melody, Improvise, make new words if you feel inspired.

 

When you feel complete, slip your parchment beneath the altar cloth. Snuff out the candles.

 

The moonstone is to carry at all times. Keep it in your pocket, under your pillow or wear it in a pouch. Whenever you feel the need, hold the stone and run it with your thumb in a circular motion. Think or say:

 

"I am safe, I am me

All is well, Blessed be"

 

Tell no one of this spell until it has come to fullness. Even as you feel your powers strengthen, it may be best to maintain silence. Be discreet about sharing you magick.
