Since I've just finished Dorothy Morrison's book "Utterly Wicked" I'm quite inspired to talk a bit o' magick. In no uncertain terms, my cup over flows as I've not read a book that grapples with doing spells and working with magick - well- not a book like This in years - maybe ever. I'm downright giddy about it. But the book inspired me in many ways - one of which was to bring a topic here and toss it out there and let people chew on it awhile.

The concept of magic and manipulating.

No matter if you cast a circle for a small work, for a ceremonial ritual, for celebration, or for high magic, there are certain unwritten rules that have to be followed. Do not forget that you are opening a portal, invoking and summoning energies, elementals and divinities. Any small mistake can have repercussions, and a day or two or a week later, your car breaks, you lose your wallet, you get a bad flu, and you ask yourself why you are plagued by bad luck.

When you are capable of designing your own rituals, without depending upon spellbooks, you will be able to truly say you are a witch. You will be free of others ideas and conceptions and able to create magic based upon your own knowledge and inspiration. It is a tremendously freeing moment when you perform your first original ritual, one that you will remember as a turning point in your journey in the craft. The point of this site is to help you achieve this step in your magical development.

Ritual intent is a way of expressing the goal of the magical working, your purpose for doing the ritual. What is it that you want? Do you need some money to purchase something you've wanted for a long time? Do you wish you had a romantic relationship? Are you having nightmares and want them to stop? Those intents are quite easy to classify, money, love, sleep. Perhaps you want to quit smoking, or you have another habit you wish to be rid of.
