11 Key Points to Make Free Wiccan Spells Work for You

by Francesca Ashcrot

1) Pre-written free Wiccan spells will get you started but they will not teach you the way of Wicca so be realistic in what you aim to achieve and in your expectations of how successful you can be at first.

2) You will need ingredients and tools although you do not always have to shell out on an altar and the accompanying equipment in the first instance. Bowls, a sharp implement for carving or other makeshift implements will do. But you should aim to represent the 5 core elements of Wicca - salt for earth, incense for air, a candle for fire and a goblet or bowl of water (for water obviously!).

3) The words in your chosen free Wiccan spell are not necessarily the most important thing. It is the belief, the energy and the spirit behind it - this is the life-force behind your spell work . If you are merely reciting words or scribe then expect nothing. Your spell is no more likely to come alive then reading aloud makes characters in a book come to life. It is all in your ability to connect with the powers of the elements and spirit around you and within yourself. You will begin to learn what feels right and what feels flat.

4) However, some of the free Wiccan spells out there have been written with an energy and a feeling folded in to the very words themselves, showing that the author had a passion about their spell work. If you are picking up on this and feel excited by the spell then there is no reason that it wouldn't be able to work for you.

5) Go for spells that you feel drawn to and can identify with. That almost feel a part of you.

6) Avoid bad spells, hexes or curses or the Wicca (Rede) threefold law will come to pass. Whatever energy you put out there into the world around you, you can expect back but 3 times as powerful so be responsible.

7) Most Wiccans and witches will go through a preparation ritual in order to get themselves into the right frame of mind for performing their spell work and you should do the same. It can be something as simple as a scented bath or practising some meditation but try to get yourself into a relaxed and open state.

8) Do obey any extra instructions that come with your free Wiccan spell, such as seasonal time restrictions or the cycle of the moon. These influences on the spell are there for a reason so don't try to get away with short cuts.

9) You may be looking for old and ancient free Wiccan spells and they certainly carry with them power that has accumulated over the years. But bear in mind, the language can be difficult to understand and interpret so make sure you fully get the meaning. Not all are genuine either so research them thoroughly!

10) Start simple. There is no point in trying to jump in at a higher level than you are ready for. You will be wasting your time and risk doing more harm than good.

11) Start a journal/book of shadows for yourself and write your free Wiccan spell in it for future reference. Write notes of what happened and any observations that you may have had. This way, when you are more experienced, you may be able to come back to this spell in the future and adjust elements to suit your needs.
