Spell Cross Reference
Suggested Supplies
Why write another spellbook? After all, aren’t there already enough books out there with spells for love, prosperity and protection? Well, yes, there probably are. And some of them are even quite good—if you look, you’ll find quite a few on my own bookshelves.
But the modern Witch is concerned with a lot more than love and prosperity. Today’s Witch deals with everything from family drama to weight issues to concerns with fertility. You’re not going to find spells for those in your average spellbook. But you will find them here.
This is a spellbook for the Everyday Witch: the one who lives his or her Pagan beliefs all day, every day, twenty-four/seven. And as we integrate our spiritual lives as Pagans with our mundane lives as human beings, we find that we need spells that can’t be found in the standard books on Witchcraft. That’s what this book is all about.
Although it may be used as a companion for my second book, Everyday Witch A to Z: An Amusing, Inspiring & Informative Guide to the Wonderful World of Witchcraft, as well as the one that followed it, The Goddess is in the Details: Wisdom for the Everyday Witch, this book can also stand on its own. It is intended as a kind of toolkit for the Everyday Witch. Within its pages you will find a wide variety of spells that can’t be found in other books, as well as new approaches to the old standards. Like a regular toolbox, you are unlikely to need all these magickal tools all the time. But I hope that as you walk your daily path you will be able to find just the right spells to fit your own special needs.
In addition, there is a section at the beginning of the book that talks about what a spell is, why and how we do them and even gives some suggestions for how you can start to write your own. After all, a spell is a very powerful tool indeed, and should be approached with care, knowledge and respect.
So I strongly suggest that you read the section on crafting spells before going on to the rest of the book. After that, though, you can skip around as much as you like, choosing the spells that work best for your own particular situation and needs. Each spell has associated “optional extras” such as candle colors, herbs, gemstones or oils. Whether or not you use these items is up to you, and will depend in part on how you practice your own individual style of magick. The spells will certainly work without them, although many Witches find that the use of these additional items helps them to focus their will more effectively.
Each spell also has a specific goal associated with it. By looking at the goals, you can choose the spell that most closely matches your own desires and objectives. At the end of some spells, there are also practical suggestions for actions you can follow up with in the mundane world. After all, as Witches, we know that it is not enough to simply work magick; we have to support our magickal endeavors with concrete actions as well.
In addition, there is a section at the back of the book with cross-references that may help you find the spells you need, as well as blank space at the end of many spells where you can write in your own variations or notes on how the spell worked for you.
Spells come in a number of variations, the definitions for which can vary from Witch to Witch. Blessing, charms and spells are all different types of magickal workings; sometimes there are just words to say, and sometimes the words are accompanied by actions and props. But we use all these assorted kinds of magick for the same purpose: to create positive change in our lives.
I hope that the spells contained within these pages will help you in bringing positive change to your life.
Blessed be,
Deborah
