Simple spells for begginers

Asha_88 · Post by **Asha_88** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 4:32 am

Hello community!

I'm here with a new topic, maybe a bit more general. I would like to know if you have some simple spells for begginers to pratice what I learned in the books. With what spell do you begin the journey? Let me know if they work for you.

P.S. I'm sorry if I sound reeeally dumb but do you have to do a banishing ritual everytime you cast a spell or it's used only when you summon entities ( demons , etc. ) ? Like do you need '' protection '' everytime you cast a spell or just if you contact something ?

Have a nice day! [happy2]

What books and what path are we talking about?

I've read a loot of books of different paths ( Cunningham, LaVey, Connolly etc. ) but I'm open to any kind of spells you begin with

With what spell do you begin the journey?

You don't. You put one foot in front of the other. You walk through the Gate of No Return. Your life and the way you see the world changes.

You've read everything from an Oath-breaking Wiccan to PR genius/Satanist/Humanist with flare.

What is it that you want to study and do? Right now you're all over the map.

I really liked The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey , but I tought that Enochian Keys at the end are for advanced magicians , so I began with the simple tips on how to visualise I found on the Cunningham wicca book '' A guide for solitary pratitioner '' but it's too basic now ..

I really like the first part of the satanic bible, but his knowledge of magic was pretty horrible. I wouldn't put to much focus on it at all.
I can actually give you a really good recommendation. Jason Miller - The sorcerers secrets.
It's still kinda witchy in that sense that it is very practical magic, but it also has a foot in ritual magic.

The other book that I usually recommend is : Donald Michael Kraig - Modern Magick.
It's more Ceremonial magic and golden dawn based, but it is such a good beginner book that it covers most areas. The only thing to remember about it, is that it is not a bible. It has some mistakes in it.

Interesting. I too have familiarity with Cunningham and LaVey.

I'd get a good couple of spell books and start my own.

First, get a nice quality book from Michaels.I know where you're from so that shouldn't be a problem. Get an acid free book with or without lines. Probably without lines if you prefer to have space to draw.

I've had success with the Element Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells, but it might be a bit too "white light" for your tastes. Still, it's a good collection, it gives you many options to work with.

I like the Protection & Reversal Magick book by Jason Miller. Cunningham had some good spellbooks about the elements. Earth Power and, Earth, Air, Fire & Water come to mind. He also has his Book of Shadows which I found essential.

If you want to go all out, mm...I've had success with Anna Riva's small spell books. They're generally all purpose books and aren't Wiccan. It's more like african magick stuff.

I'll post more stuff as I can think about it, but let me know what you like.

Desecrated and DarkShneider, thank you very much for your suggestion, it helps me a lot. I'm not a fan of '' wiccan magic '' it seems to me that it's not very effective, correct me if I'm wrong. I can't wait to read your suggestions, it seems that they are all what I was looking for.

Don't do the beginngers mistake and conflate neo wiccan nonsense with genuine wiccan tradition.

Far too much of that goes on.

A better question would not be what you would like to do, but:

What do you aim to achieve?

DarkSchneider · Post by **DarkSchneider** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 4:30 pm

I've also got some great french spell books in my collection that I got from places like Jean Coutu and Canadian Tire. Those might suit you. They aren't entirely Wiccan. I have one that is quite powerful looking and it's got references to Angels, Demons and Genies.

If you need me to write the titles for you, I shall. Sorry the photo is smaller than I thought it would be.

Sypheara well, I would like to be able to work with my ''spiritual '' force. I mean I know that I'm not just a body made in flesh, just work with my energy and interact with other ones, and why not, try to change my life for better. DarkSchneider I saw them but I tought it was just , you know , Quebecor.... to make more money, but if they work for you I would like to give it a try!

DarkSchneider · Post by **DarkSchneider** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 4:43 pm

I believe these are based on older grimoires so don't worry about trying them

Especially the one on the left. It's a beautiful book I paid $10 for but it's worth $50 at Archambault.

Use whatever is at your disposal to make you a better magician

If you're able to separate the dogma from the practical magic - Ray Bucklands big blue book is an excellent primer in beginner spells.

Most of it is low magic. Which isn't Wiccan magic. And it's not all love and light for a Wiccan book.

Post by **Desecrated** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 6:57 pm

The Element Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells draws from pretty much every tradition. I've used it several times to look for hoodoo recipes. It's actually pretty accurate from time to time.

Ray Buckland - buckland's complete book of witchcraft.

It's actually a pretty good book, But I don't think it's any less commercial or less wiccan then Cunninghams books.

It is as effective as you can manifest your will.

Which actually brings me to an important point. The best way to improve your own power and ability, is rarely to get more spellbooks (although I can't criticize anybody for wanting more books) But to do the more basic work of meditation, energy work, daily practice and to go through the whole mental development.
The two books I mentioned does have all of that in them as well as some spells and rituals. But there are others as well.

Writing your own Grimoire with research you've done is also a good way to improve your abilities.

Thanx. I couldn't remember the name offhand.

I totally agree - it's just as commercial and it's completely Wiccan. Seax Wiccan, actually. Buckland hived off and made his own similar Wiccan tradition. The difference that I've found was the quantity and quality of the practical magic. Buckland's more into crafting and hands on where Cunningham is amazing with plants and seems more religious than Buckland, at least to me.

Learn how to banish, charge and project various energies ("invocation of forces" in some traditions, like the invocation in my IAO exercise), ward, and basic enchantment.

Those four basic skills, along with developing an understanding of the basic mechanics of spellcraft (which you should acquire by properly understanding these skills), will give you the ability to do a hell of a lot of practical magic. You'll just need to cultivate depth of skill and Power, grab on to some creativity, and experiment until you develop some fun things that are uniquely yours.

That is actually not a bad idea.

You might be interested in this, Candle Magic Spell Book, it's a downloadable e-book and I understand currency conversion is dealt with at the checkout

Apologies to the moderators if this breaches any rules on plugs/advertising, I have no connection with this supplier other than as a long-term customer, anyone else on these boards from the UK may already know this company. I've always found them reliable and their products of an excellent standard.

If you want to work more with the energy body, or the body beyond the physical body, then I'd suggest getting the Ars Vercanus ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/190571 ... 1_1&sr=8-1 ) which are techniques catered for use primarily with the Etherical/Energetic body.

Learn Tai chi (sp?)

I couldn't agree more, it's so easy to get bound up in collecting material without actually doing anything productive.
I learned that as an undergrad with a roomful of books and research papers, just sitting there but not being read.

Sometimes it becomes an all encompassing displacement activity, ie it seems productive but it isn't productivity.
