Wiccan Spells and Magic
Wiccan spells or Wiccan Magic is defined by most Wiccans as “the Science or Art of causing change to occur in compliance with one’s will”. The term Wiccan, refers to those who practise the Wicca Religion.
To put this another way, a Wiccan spell is a practise or ritualised event which leads to measurable changes in the physical or emotional plane in accordance with the designs of one or more Wiccans casting the spell.
Wiccan magic spells commonly practised include love spells, healing spells, fertility spells as well as spells to help remove any negative influences.
Wiccans often cast spells during ritual practices inside the Sacred Circle, in an attempt to bring about changes to their world.
A Sacred Circle being a circle or sphere of space marked out by Wiccans to either contain energy and form a sacred space, or to form a magical barrier of protection. It can sometimes be both.
The Sacred Circle can be physically created by a ring made from salt or chalk or in some cases it can simply be visualised. Similar circular constructs appear in some Eastern religions
Wiccan spells are in the majority of instances always cast to help materialise a benevolent result, regardless of what we see in feature films. The truth is the majority of magic spells cast by Wiccans (as well as many other believers and advocates of the “Old Religions”) are cast for good.
This is exemplified once again by the Wiccan Rede, which states “an it harm none, do what ye will”. Many Wiccans also believe in another element of Wiccan morality which is the Law of Threefold Return.
This law holds that regardless of what type of Wiccan spell is cast, be it benevolent or malevolent, the actions of the spell will return to the practitioner, that is the Wiccan Witch with triple the force or power.
This belief is very similar to the eastern philosophy of Karma, first espoused in ancient India and later appearing in various incarnations in the Jain, Sikh, Buddhist and Hindu philosophies. This is one reason why Wicca is often referred to as the yoga of the west.
Yoga, being one of the six schools of Hindu philosophy in which discipline and training work together to help the consciousness reach a state of perfect spiritual insight and tranquillity. Many practising Wiccans will view this statement as a fair definition of their beliefs too.
Wiccan spells are often characterised into two main groups, White Magic spells and Black Magic spells. White magic being associated with good and benevolent aims. While Black magic is often associated with evil deeds and satanic worship.
Many modern Wiccans have stopped using this dual terminology, arguing that the colour black has been overly dramatised by Hollywood in recent times and that the colour itself should not have any associations with evil at all.
Certain Wiccans believe that magic and spell casting are fundamental laws of nature. Laws, that have yet to be completely understood by modern science. Other believers of the Wicca Religion do not claim to know how their magic works at all, it is enough that it does work because they have seen it work for themselves.
