COMPOSE THE RHYME OR WORDS OF POWER
Clearly state your need.
Clearly state all dimensions of your need (enduring love, rather than just love; complete protection, rather than just physical protection; etc.).
If possible, mention some of the tools that you've decided to use in the spell in your words of power or magickal rhyme. Indeed, for some spells, these words may help you to structure the entire rhyme or chant.
Use hypnotic words (those beginning with 's" or containing a "z") for psychic-awareness, love, healing spells; Use potent, strong words for protection spells. match the words to the type of ritual you're composing.
Don't expect the words to simply flow from you. Work at it & work with them. Your psychic mind knows what you need.
HELP Example:
"I ask in the name of (Goddess & God or The All) that I, (name), be granted (state desire)...I ask that this be correct & for the good of all people. So mote it be. In no way will this spell reverse, or place upon me any curse."
"In this night & in this hour, I call upon the Ancient power. O Goddess Bride & Consort Bright, I ask thee now to bring your light."
"I have a need that must be met. I ask thee (name of deity) that I obtain the perfect (whatever it is) for (reason)."
"I ask the Universe to lend the power of all the correct astrological correspondences so they may enter this circle now to obtain my desire."
"Therefore, I specifically draw toward myself the (desire) without affecting the free will of all & harming none."
"I now proclaim this spell is done. The (desire) is mine! In no way will this spell reverse, or place upon me any curse! As I will, so mote it be!"
"In this sacred space & time, We call now the Old Ones; the Goddess of the moon, seas & rivers; the God of the rayed Sun, of valleys & forests; Draw near us during this, our circle.
Getting Rid of Bad Habits:
Take a black candle which has been ritually cleansed and some anointing oil which has also been ritually blessed. Do not use anything for this which has not been cleansed or blesed already. Depending on the desired result, you should choose an oil which corresponds to this end. At the time of the new moon, or when it first begins to wane, cast a circle or use your 9' cord to create a sacred space. Place the black candle (preferable a taper) on the altar with the oil. Have no unblessed/uncleansed tools in this ritual. Cast the circle. Call the Goddess and her consort. Use a burin to engrave the candle with the spell you wish to cast. Now, anoint the candle using the oil. While you anoint the candle with the oil, speak these words out loud or silently "Tonight no moon, tomorrow the first one. Let this be eroded til my will be done. Candle burn down to remove all ill. Let this spell be cast by the power of my will." And once you have anointed the candle, place it in a safe place to it can burn down completely.
Spell to lock/hold doors shut:
You need to start by meditating before hand on the effect of the spell for at least 15 minutes. Then, to cast, you sprinlke holy water mixed with salt and powdered iron, infront of the door that you want to lock. then place your hands on the door and concentrate your energies going down your right arm, going through the door and back into your left arm. then you start chanting:
Portal be mine, Become one with my mind, I hold thee fast, to make to last, open you not, as I weave the knot, of my power from within.
Keep chanting this as you build up power, and imaine the circle of energy (right arm through door back into left arm) getting faster and faster. Then upon release, viualize a green field of energy coming up infront of the door.
The following is an easy warding ritual for your home or just one room. You must admit that there are those who would use magic in unwise ways. A simple way I've found of dealing with such attempts is to ward a room you work in, or your home. It is similar to casting a circle except that it is as permanent as you want it to be. Be sure that you won't be disturbed while casting the ward or you will have to start over. Nothing is required to do this but you may use any props necessary to make you most comfortable.
After ensuring you won't be disturbed, ground and center (use any form you wish, this is a very adaptable ritual). Cast your circle, using the walls as the four Quarters (again use whatever method you are most comfortable with). After the circle is cast you will do something similar to circle casting. Invoke the Quarters again this time asking for protection of the area being warded against all negative influences from being able to ever enter the area involved. As you invoke each Quarter visualize a wall of energy completely covering the wall involved sealed by a floor to ceiling pentacle. On the wall/s with a door visualize a smaller version of the energy wall and pentacle so that entering and leaving will not affect the integrity of the working. After each wall, the floor, and the ceiling are sealed be sure to cleanse the area to ensure that no negativity was trapped inside the room (any method is acceptable). When done thank the Quarters for their help and dismiss them.
(This is to be done on a rainy night outdoors. Stand in the rain and let it touch you - do not wear heavy clothing to protect yourself from it. Call the rain and draw it down harder. Cast no circle, lest the pain stay trapped within it. When the downpour becomes heavy, begin. Say the incantation charged full of emotion and let it come from the heart.)
Rain, take the pain. Rain, take the pain. Rain, take the pain. Rain, take the pain. Rain, take the pain. Rain, take the pain. Rain, take the pain. Rain, take the pain. Rain, take the pain. Rain, wash away my pain. Cry for me and take away my tears. Rain, wash away my pain. Cry for me and take away my fears.
(Hold palms open to the sky and let the rain fill them. Wash your face and eyes with it. Repeat this three times.)
Let the tears fall, with the water, into the earth,into the rock.
(Let the pain go, release the energy. Let it wash away. Imagine it leaving you and entering the earth bound by rock.)
I was taught this way:
You lay in your bed silently. You clear your mind of everything. Next thing you do is imagine yourself leaving your body, and floating to the side or above your body. When you have looked down on yourself, you're pretty much astral projecting, but you have to keep your concentration and go to places you please. It is pretty hard, but practice makes perfect!
Hearken as the Witch's word, Calls the All, a gulf to ford, Bridge the vast realities, An it harm none, do as you please.

To convert the senses This blessing gives the body more connection with the spirit. It may also help with your readiness to channel.
To be done at night in the moon's view. Extravagance is not appreciated. Light a large white candle. Burn sandalwood and basalm and pine. Prepare a bowl of water sprinkled with salt. Put this before you and touch it to each part of your body.
To the eyes Bless my eyes that I might have clarity of vision
To the mouth Bless my mouth that I may speak the truth
To the ears Bless my ears that I may hear all that is spoken and not
To the heart Bless my heart that I may be filled with love
To the uterus Bless my womb that I may be in touch with my creative energy that stems from the universe
To the feet Bless my feet that I may find and walk my own true path
Fill yourself with understanding, and from that love. Extinguish candle when done(can be used for other purposes).
Your cauldron should be on your altar between two pink candles. Inside the cauldron itself, place a magenta candle. Light a love incense and the pink candles. Tap the cauldron three times with your wand and say: "One to seek him/her, one to find him/her. One to bring him/her, one to bind him/her. Heart to heart, forever one. So say I, this spell is done. Tap the cauldron three more times. Light the magenta candle to speed the spell on it's way. Best done during the waxing moon. Perhaps best done after reading the Lord of the Rings and perhaps tapping (ringing) the cauldron four times (to match the spell) and saying "One ring to bring them...."
