looking for an easy spell and ritual to start me off

[Bittersweet]

hmm.. the title explains it all, methinkc, but ive been studying wicca for a year in books and on the net... i heard about this site from a friend who contacted me through e-mail. im looking for a ritual thats not to complicated, and quite versitile, for me to use on the sabbats, and maybe a usefull-but-not-too-difficult-spell for me... just to start me off
thanx,

:cool: Welcome, Bittersweet :cool:

Have a seat in one of Kaylara's comfy couch/chair thingies and help yourself to some lemonade.

You should really create your own work. You say you have been reading for over a year, now is the time to apply what you have read. There are no easy ways to becoming a witch.

thanx bluecat.. guess its time to reread that chapter in bucklands... but if you have any pointers... how did you start? did u ever get nervous about the first spell backfiring, or the god and goddess just not wanting me? i mean, it seems as if there are tons of good wiccans out there? why would they want an unexperienced, unstable teen?.. spilling my guts here, hope u dont mind.. i have alot of questions about all of the info on spells... i think ie gotten my whole beleif system straightened out, its just i dont know when would be the right time to make a spell? and what sort of ritual i should perform, bare in mind that i have limited funds, and limited time, with the whole student thing starting the international baccalaureat.. and can an altar be temporary? i dont mean, for 5 minutes each day, but seeing as i have a small room, could i use my chest of drawers as an altar each time i cast a spell or do a ritual, as long as i clear it of everything that has not been consecrated... and does my circle have to be visual, like with a peice of cloth, or chalk, or thread, or can i cast it with my personal power? i actually have a load more questions.. but my mind is blank @ the mo...
thanx for your previous help,
Blessed be,

I don't mean to offend you or anyone else but if the first thing you ask for is a spell or ritual then I would suggest you recheck your practices. For the first thing you learn before anything else is self-control. The fact that you are seeking something versatile leads me to question your needs. I would assume that after a year of reading up on Wicca you would have run across some of the many books for beginers that do include simple spells. We are happy to have you here. This is a great place to learn and everyone has things to teach one another but I am concerned with what you seem to have picked up as your views seem very unusual to me.

First of all you have no power and you claim to have read Buckland, you should really concern yourself with less the spellwork and more the way of life. Also read more than Buckland ... there are more elders here than myself and I am an easy going one.

An altar can be anything,but it should be personal to you.

[Bittersweet]

its not the first thing im asking for.. ive been studying wicca intensiveley for a year, and not-so-intensiveley since i was 13... im not in it for the magick-turning-men-into-toads... im in it because i read about this religion and it made sense.. the religion doesnt predjudice against colour, or sexual orienttaition, its peacefull, theres no violence, and a great understanding of everyone.. theres a great acceptance, as shown by bluecat, and the new people that join everyday. tru, it is the first thing ive asked for here, and im sorry if that offended anyone here.. ive read countless internet sorces, and i speak to many pagans online in communities such as witchvox... its just i dont want to make any mistake due to my own thoughtlessness, or my own bad planning... or do anything wrong, really...i didnt mean to offend anyone, and i really hope i didnt, i dont want to get off to a bad start here... i am eager to learn.. i have a couple of books by raymond buckland and scott cunningham, and as soon as i save up enough im going to buy myself some more candles, some tarot cards and a book or two by silver ravan wolf.. once again, im sorry if i offended anyone, it truly wasnt my aim....i am just starting to practice, and despite all my reasearch, i still need help, and i thought id get that from other pagans.. this site was reccomended to me by a friend, and i thought id try it out...

Your very first post was this ... asking for something, a ritual or spell. Just to start you off.

We don't mind being helpful, but before you run you have to walk.

well, what sort of books do you suggest i read then? id really like to learn more...again, sorry for coming on so strong..:(

[sherry]

If you take the advise of others here on the site you will find everyone here is more than willing to help you!!
Welcome I do hope that you enjoy it but I hope you learn from this. I know to you this one year seems like a long time and reading several books seems like a lot:rolleyes: but it is only a start.
You have much more to go until you are ready to CAST and even though in The Craft they were all set after a short time. Try to keep in mind that it is Hollywood and that is not even close. And remember what happened to them at the end of the movie!!
My suggestion is browse through the posts here and find the info on everything tht you just asked it is all in here with detailed answers and the research is the most fun of all !!!!!

[Bittersweet]

thank you sherry.. i AM really sorry about before... im just kinda eager to learn... i never meant to offend...im sorry.. what do you suggest i read at my local occult store? ive read some by buckland and cunningham, as those were the two authors the owners reccomended... what would you say i should read, as a begginer?

[Bittersweet]

ok bluecat... is buckland not considered an accurate writer? i was reading through the posts and saw that silver raven wolf wasnt reflected well, yet i visited a couple of other sites and they sed that allthough the cover was a bit childish, the material was very good...

Hi Hannah,

Welcome! If you're low on funds, try checking out your local library. I had found a decent selection of books there & they're free. You can put in order requests if they don't have the book. Used book store is another good place. You wouldn't believe the stuff they have there! Checking out the old threads here is another good way to go - you've already found that one. The only real advice I could give is (as cheezy as this sounds): check out everything...there are pro's & con's to BOTH sides of the arguement & go with your heart & keep asking questions.

oh, btw, you might want to check out Spiral Dance by Starhawk.

Welcome and merry meet! :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

Hello Bittersweet! Being a seeker can be tough but you will find what you need if you stick with it. :) I think you need to work on not being so uptight about starting out. :p They say if you want to make the Gods laugh, tell them your plans. If you knock over a candle or trip over your words its OK. Your only human! ;) Maybe you should start with a simple daily devotional. Take a walk in the park or sit outside in the sun. These are all things you can do to come closer to nature and can be little rituals in themselves. Don't sweat it! Good luck on your IB tests (thats what you ment right?) :)

*hugs* I really wouldn't worry about the Goddess not wanting you. You're as much a manifestation of the divine as the next person, and remember that everyone was inexperienced when they started out. If you're worried about not being 'good enough', try talking to the Lady and Lord in meditation and tell them that you're nervous; I'm sure they won't mind ;)



and what sort of ritual i should perform, bare in mind that i have limited funds, and limited time, with the whole student thing starting the international baccalaureat..

Just do something simple...maybe if your studies are stressing you out (I know mine do!), you could do a ritual to help you relax, and also to improve your focus and memory.



and can an altar be temporary? i dont mean, for 5 minutes each day, but seeing as i have a small room, could i use my chest of drawers as an altar each time i cast a spell or do a ritual, as long as i clear it of everything that has not been consecrated...

Sure you can. Many witches set up temporary altars because they have limited space, or like to do 'themed' altars for each ritual.



and does my circle have to be visual, like with a peice of cloth, or chalk, or thread, or can i cast it with my personal power? i

All you need is visualisation, and your personal energy. Having a visual outline sometimes helps your circle to be circular, if you get my drift, but it's certainly not essential. I have a circle casting outline on my site http://kisstheviolets.org/padma/circ101.html that might help...

Blessings, and Good Luck :)

I am not totally sure, but I think she was saying that there is a lot more to it than they show in that movie. She was just using it as a point of reference about learning more and understanding that it's not all just hocus-pocus and spells. :)

I do not think your post was offensive, did you get a chance to check out the books and references? Another book is Drawing Down the Moon by Margot Adler. It's a great book for seekers to read. :)

I just want you to know that it's not about the spells and such and the best works are the ones that you do. It's not what you know it's what you are and what you can make of yourself.

You will do fine :).

[Mooseheart]

You really are bittersweet aren't you? (LOL).I'm a newbie in wicca as well and the main lesson I'm learning at the time is not to hurry so much about everyting (learning included) that'll take me ages due to my impetuous nature. You don't need to be sorry for about everything you say, I think it's natural to be a bit curious about your own potential at the begining...I think you are lovely and very concern about people's feelings and I don't think that anybody here has seen you as offensive.
I'll tell you a few things I do that make me feel good and keep preparing my mind and spirit for learning.If you live out in the country and you like animals you may find very fulfilling to SHARE your goodies with Mother Nature , I love to water my plants and talk to them and you may not belive this, but since I leave bread crumbs,small cookies and shiny little things all over the place for the birds to pick up I see the most beautiful birds everyday ,and
there's always a couple of hawk's watching over me which makes me feel protected and sooo peaceful. ( And it's cheap!!! Try it!)
Take care
hugs, MOOSEHEART

[Bittersweet]

thanx mooseheart... actually, i am at the moment working my way through bluecats' homepage, ashlynns site, and the various threads here... i actually have a few questions, not just about wicca, if anyone could answer them, i would be grateful..
whats a gwyddon... i dont know if i spelt that right
whats a neophyte, and why am i one?
the different gods and goddesses; are they really all that different, or manifestations of the lord and lady... or did the different gods and godesses evolve with a certain area.. ive noticed alot of similarities between the celtic deites and the greek ones..
when do you actually become a wiccan... i mean, i would consider myself one, i want to continue in this religion, it is important to me and it makes alot of sense, but i dont cast spells.... do i count?
craft names... seeing as im not in a coven, do i need one? why do i need it, and who should i tell to use it? how do you choose one.. is it a reflection of the various deities, or just a name you find special... do you need a first and last name?
how do you increase your power in withcraft and the occult?
if i am a novice, and make a tarot reading for myself, will the answer not be accurate because i am not a powerfull.. wiccan? witch? person? do ya know what i mean?erm... will the reading not be as accurate with me as i am just starting out, as it would be with someone who has been practising the craft for a long time?
thanx, Hannah

[Vinga]

Well I don't practice much spellwork because I have never felt the need to. Prayer goes a long way ;). I use my altar mostly for prayer and rituals honouring the God and the Goddess.
Anyway, I think if anything you could start by doing a self-dedication ritual, consecrate your altar tools and practice to cast a circle. I wouldn't go looking for spells if I didn't have a need for them. When the day comes where a situation arises where you think you need a spell, you should have read enough about spells to write your own for that particular purpose. There are plenty of websites out there that offer spells left and right and I recommend that you read them, but not for your own use instead read them to get an idea of how to write your own.

A couple of websites with a lot of info are;
http://www.oldways.com
http://www.joellessacredgrove.com

Some of your other questions;

Why am I a Neophyte? All newbies to this website gets that title until they have posted 30 times, then they become a Zelator. I'm not sure where those names come from, but my unqualified guess is that they are mythological terms...I've seen the terms used on other places online as well.

the different gods and goddesses; are they really all that different, or manifestations of the lord and lady... or did the different gods and godesses evolve with a certain area.. ive noticed alot of similarities between the celtic deites and the greek ones..
Well I think that is a personal thing what you choose to believe. Different Gods and Goddesses have evolved all through out the history of mankind. Some seem to have evolved from other Gods and Goddesses, while others seem to have popped out of nowhere. But just because we never heard of them before then doesn't necessarily mean they didn't exist. Some people believe all Gods and Goddesses are facets of the same masculine aspect and feminine aspect of the essentially same divine force/being. Basically, you have to search your own heart for your own truth.

when do you actually become a wiccan... i mean, i would consider myself one, i want to continue in this religion, it is important to me and it makes alot of sense, but i dont cast spells.... do i count?
Of course you count :). Many Wiccans are not witches and don't cast spells. One doesn't make the other. When you choose to walk the Wiccan path, you can call yourself Wiccan. You can do a self dedication ritual to offer yourself to the God and Goddess, if that feels more 'authentic' to you. (You can find one at http://www.joellessacredgrove.com/Spells/rituals.html , just modify it to suit what you want it to say).

craft names... seeing as im not in a coven, do i need one? why do i need it, and who should i tell to use it? how do you choose one.. is it a reflection of the various deities, or just a name you find special... do you need a first and last name?
Even solitary Wiccans have craft names, it's not just a coven thing. If you don't want one, you certainly dont have to get one. (http://www.oldways.com/zine_names.html is a decent article about it)

how do you increase your power in withcraft and the occult?
Now that can be a dangerous question. I hope you're not just after 'powers'. The only way you can get 'better' at witchcraft is by reading, educating yourself and years and years of practice. The most important thing to learn though, is self-control (like someone said before). You need to be able to think things through and the consequences it may have, before doing anything. 'An it harm none, do as ye will' does not give you a freepass to be reckless.

if i am a novice, and make a tarot reading for myself, will the answer not be accurate because i am not a powerfull.. wiccan? witch? person?
I've been doing tarot readings for 15 years, long before I had even heard of 'wicca'. Again, practice makes perfect. Perhaps your first few readings might not be all that accurate, but when you get more confident with listening to your own intuition and relying on your own abilities, your readings will improve. The only way of getting there is by doing lots of readings. Practice on yourself, your friends, your mom etc :).

ooh, one more thing, how do you put the smiley faces in messages?
See the list of 'Forum Rules' (right underneath the submit button when you write/reply to a post). There is a link there that says 'Smilies are ON', click on that to get a list of all the codes on how to make the smilies :sunny:

:rolleyes: I'm sorry it was an attempt to bring up the fact that in the past 4 months several of the under 18 crowd have asked for "direct spells", "a quick way to get started", and alot of "POWER" questions, shoot there have even been one about how to become a warlock!! these all remind me of the movies. Basic books explain these things even Cunningham books do explain most of this time factor and importance of going slow and understanding what you do before you start !!

Hope this clears it up a little

[Ari]

whats a gwyddon... i dont know if i spelt that right
Better ask Mairwen about that, she's the resident expert :)

whats a neophyte, and why am i one?
Just a general term for someone who is new, in this case new to the board (in terms of the number of posts).

the different gods and goddesses; are they really all that different, or manifestations of the lord and lady... or did the different gods and godesses evolve with a certain area.. ive noticed alot of similarities between the celtic deites and the greek ones..
Different people have different ideas about this; it would make a good thread on its own. There are those (like me) who see all Goddess and Gods as aspects of, or symbols for, one spirit, while others see each deity as individual and distinct with their own personality. Some explain the similarities between pantheons in terms of archetypes, which are kind of like symbols in the unconscious mind of all people (tries to explain this simply and fails...) that tend to recurr in mythology and culture all over the world.

when do you actually become a wiccan... i mean, i would consider myself one, i want to continue in this religion, it is important to me and it makes alot of sense, but i dont cast spells.... do i count?
You count :) Wicca and witchcraft aren't exactly synonymous; you can be a Wiccan without ever casting spells or working magic.

craft names... seeing as im not in a coven, do i need one? why do i need it, and who should i tell to use it? how do you choose one.. is it a reflection of the various deities, or just a name you find special... do you need a first and last name?
You don't need a Craft name unless you really want one. Some people, particularly on the web, use a Craft name for privacy while others use a different, 'magical' name because they find it empowering or feel that it suits them better than their 'mundane' name. Some people take the name of their patron deity (although that's sometimes seen as pretentious), while others just take a name that they find personally meaningful. There's no reason for you to have a first and last name if you only want one, it's completely up to you.

how do you increase your power in withcraft and the occult?
If by this you mean -skill-, then the answer is practice. People who seek to have power over others are not well regarded in the community.

if i am a novice, and make a tarot reading for myself, will the answer not be accurate because i am not a powerfull.. wiccan? witch? person? do ya know what i mean?erm... will the reading not be as accurate with me as i am just starting out, as it would be with someone who has been practising the craft for a long time?
Divination, like any other skill, gets more accurate as you practice it. Some people are just naturally good at it, while others seem to have more trouble. Someone who's been practicing the Craft for years may be a lousy tarot reader but good at leading rituals; people have talents in different areas.

[Bittersweet]

wow! i didnt realise so may people would see this message... thak you so much for all of this help you have given me, the internet sites, the book reccomendations, the answers to all my questions... ive been to all the internet sites, and as soon as my birthdays come and gone, im taking my money to the Magick Cauldron and buying a few of the reccomended books and a pack of tarot cards... one question about the cards tho... why are there so many different ones? i know that there are a lot of different companies who all put different pretty pictures on then\m, but ive also seen them with different names... people have said i should start outwith the rhyder(spelling?) deck... but whats the difference beween that one and a full one? and which is the best? how about for a novice?
erm, to the worries about the whole "power" thing.. i didnt mean it in a Alladin-Genie "phenomenal cosmic power-itty bitty living space" thang... i meant it as a skill thing.. you know..its difficult to explain...just that the things i would be wanting to do, like tarot, and in the future, spells, becoming more accurate... not like aiming a spell at a certain person... but say, a healing spell cast on a willing person doing alot more good... i hope you undersatnd now... hope i havent confused you further... can someone tell me where the seekers bill of rights posted by SAHM is? or on which thread? i read the newest post on "preadators", and there was a reference to it, i thought it sounded interesting!

Here in the US, that's not generally the case. If you need more information, go here: http://pagan.drak.net/gwyddon.


Different people have different ideas about this; it would make a good thread on its own. There are those (like me) who see all Goddess and Gods as aspects of

And the beauty is, you can be Pagan and not be a Witch nor a Wiccan! :D

This is the kind of thing this particular board is about. While I will admit some of my responses could have been phrased differently they were an effort to get at the root of the question. I believe that the question is the reality of it all and what it all means. Without questions where would we find the answers? :cool:

i mean, i know about gardnerenian, and solitary, and.. ooh, forgotten the name..erm.. the part of wicca which plays up the role of the female and the goddess.. with only preistesses, no preists..., and electic Wicca... its just that i seem at a loss as to wich one to choose! and also, ive seen refferences to Seax-Wicca.. what is this?

You should really go back and read more, and visit WitchVox too at www.witchvox.com . Don't try to rush things, take your time you have the rest of time to learn and enjoy. This is one of those things that you should reakky learn, if someone simply hands them to you it becomes a handout. You seem like a bright and intelligent person and I really think you will learn better if you continue with your personal studies. Find a mentor there is a good article about that at http://www.cog.org/wicca/teach.htm .

One of the many references about Seax Wicca is http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Shores/5960/opening.html , there are more, other folks may have other references.

Um..First of all welcome and merry meet! :sunny: I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but I would think that a first spell or ritual would need to be something very personal and not just any easy spell that someone recommended. I think that when you are ready the spell will come to you. Whatever you do, be careful please! There are no paths to be tread lightly upon.

Merry Meet Bittersweet!

How about starting off with a self-dedication ritual and then start celebrating through the Wheel of the Year to get a feeling for the holidays and seasons. Maybe research the internet on information on the next Sabbat by looking for key words such as Summer Solstice, Litha, Midsummer and write a small ritual. :smash: <--- not sure what this little guy is, but he is so darn cute!
