Composing the Rhyme or words of Power
The spell is at the heart of folk magick. it is simply a ritual in which various tools are purposefully used, the goal is fully stated (in words, pictures or within the mind): & energy is moved to bring about the needed result.
Spells can be as simple as reciting a short chant over a fresh rose while placing it between 2 pink candles in order to draw love; forming & retaining an image of the needed result in the mind; or placing a quartz crystal in a sunny window for protection purposes.
To perform effective magick - 3 necessities must be present: The Need, the Emotion & the Knowledge.
It has been said that magick was the first religion, & that if you lovingly utilize the forces of nature to cause beneficial change, you also become one of them.
It is these powers that have been personified as Goddesses & Gods. Attuning with them is a spiritual experience & is the basic of all true religion.
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.
