(Essentially, its natural aspirin.)\n\nMagically, it is generally associated with fertility, grief, death, rebirth, emotion, the subconscious, divination, cats, goats.  It can be used in bindings and banishings as well.

Spell Casting. There are entire books written on this subject alone. I will try to summarize as much as possible on the theories of how spell casting works.\n\nFirst, I would like to address the issue of, if spell casting really does work. The easiest way to answer this is to say all a spell is, is an active prayer. There are three main aspects to any spell casting.\n\n1.Stating intent.\n2.Calling upon deity.\n3.Taking action.\n\nThe first of the three is the most important as long as your intent is clear then your spell will be heard. While casting the spell remain focused on the task at hand and the desired outcome.\n\nThe second, involves calling the correct deity for the matter at hand or just calling upon Spirit to lend aid to your work.\n\nFinally, the best thing anyone can do to make change is take an active role in their own lives. By working magick with elements, herbs, candles, etc. you have already begun the process of change. All that is left is that you continue to take an active role in making your situation better.\n\nOf course not every prayer is answered in the manner we would like, nor is every spell. This is why it is important to be very clear and simple with your intent. Some of the things, which could inhibit a spell from working, are:\n\nCloudy intent.\nInterfering with freewill.\nNegative or unsure attitudes during spell casting.\nAlso, sometimes it just is not time for the spell to take place as it could upset the balance.\n\nSo to answer your question, a spell only works if you want it to. \n\nAs for how candle magick works, it depends on the method of candle magick being used.  There are so many dynamics when performing candle magick to consider.  It is not just color and when to burn the candle; you can develop a combination of actions from the following.\n\n*Shapes of Candles - There are more than just taper, pillar, and votive.  There are double-acting candles, seven-knob candles, union candles, and much more.\n\n*Candle Ingredients - Was the candle made with beeswax, soy wax, vegetable wax, or some synthetic material?\n\n*Candle Colors - This is usually the easiest way to match intent of the candle.\n\n*Anointing the Candle - If you anoint the candle, what oil should you use?  Which direction should you rub on the oil?\n\n*Herbs - If I use an herb, which should it be?\n\n*Markings - Should I use sigils, or astrological signs, and mark them on the candle?  If so, which direction should the sigil or message be written?\n\n*Time - When should I burn my candle and for how long?\n\n*Spells or Chants - Should I also say a spell or recite a chant?\n\nThese are things you mush consider in order to work a proper candle magick spell.  Intent and belief are major things in magic.  If you believe and what you believe will dictate wither or not a spell will work for you.

From the reference:\n\nWhen a suspected witch crossed your path, you could make a cross shortcut by crossing your index and second finger or the index fingers of both hands. This would provide protection and ward off the evil influence.

Only ones i know of are the ones placed in a pot on the stove in the kitchen...in France.\n\nAlso be aware that many ingredients associated with Witchcraft (Eye of newt etc) were names of herbs used for medicines or associated with chakras, energies or spirits, very rarely were they exactly what they sounded like, herbal knowledge was considered not only sacred but also secretive and such names helped stop people dabbling in things they didn't understand

Nope.\n\n1. You can't make someone love you. We're powerful but not that powerful.\n\n2. You'll be violating the Harm None law if you try because you're trying to make him do something against his will.\n\n3. If you want a spell to work, don't take the spell from other people. It has to come from YOU. It has to be created by YOU.

his is a good all round banishing spell.\nYou Will Need: \n\nCarbon or flash paper \nBusiness size envelope \nA slip of paper that will fit in the envelope \nAppropriate herbs (see below) \n2 Appropriately coloured candle (see below) Appropriate anointing oil (See below) \nAppropriate incense Cheap Black ink pen \nHealing Herbs: \nEucalyptus, Rosemary, Sandalwood, Juniper, Thyme, Willow \nBanishing Herbs: \nBasil, Asafoetida, Valerian, Black Pepper, Patchouli, Agrimony, Acacia, Cypress\nCandle Colours: \nHealing: Pale Blue, Banishing: Black, Fast Action: Red\nOils: \nHealing- Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Sandalwood Banishing- Basil, Cypress, Acacia, Frankincense\nThe Spell: \nAt the full moon anoint and charge the candles with the essential oil and bless and charge the herbs you are going to use. Surround the base of the candles with the appropriate herbs and light the candles, cast your circle or otherwise prepare for magick as you normally would. \n\nCut a human figure out of the carbon paper (designed appropriately as specifically male for men, female for women) that will fit inside the envelope. Of course, if you need to, you can use a larger envelope but the business size is generally sufficient. \n\nLay the figure on the slip of paper between the candles, charge and name it as the individual and with intent write on the figure what you are working on. Such as, if the spell is to heal an illness you might simply write whatever that illness is, in example: "cold/flu." You might also write it over the appropriate body part, such as if it is a head cold write it on the head. If it's to overcome an addiction to cigarettes you might write "cigarettes" on the chest (or where ever you identify most with smoking) and even add a cigarette in the envelope! Be creative with it. \n\nCharge both the paper and the doll with intent, by the elements, etc., and place them and some of the herbs in the envelope and seal it up. Lay it between the candles and allow them to burn until half gone charging and meditating on the purpose of the spell all the while! Store the candles somewhere secure to use later when finishing the spell. Then place the envelope under the mattress of the "ill" person or recipient of the spell if possible. You may also, if it is not possible to put it with the person, place it behind a picture of the person in a frame; inside of a book they gave you, etc., You can also include nail and hair clippings if you like or what you will. Let this stay undisturbed for as long as needed but it should not exceed one full lunar cycle. \n\nWhen the magick has run it's course and the deed is accomplished, or when the cycle is done, light the remainder of the candles and set your circle or prepare as you did before. Then open the envelope and put everything on your altar, between the candles in a fire proof bowl. First burn the slip of paper with the writing along with the herbs and the hair, nails, etc., if you included them in the spell, then burn the doll. As the doll burns it will turn from black to white (great sympathetic stuff here)! As you burn these things be sure to keep focused on the intent (such as banishing the illness, visualize the person whole and healthy, no longer addicted, etc.) Scrape all of the ashes back into the envelope and use some of the candle wax to seal it up again. You can carve symbols in the wax if you like. \n\nBe sure to, get rid of EVERYTHING, which you used with this ritual (candle nubs, any remaining bits of herbs, the pen, etc., you should not have to get rid of the incense or oil as you should have used it anyhow). Bury or otherwise dispose of the envelope, far away from anyone's home or property. \n\nFlash paper (the kind magickians use) is great to use for the paper, just be sure the paper is safely in the dish before lighting it! \n\nThis shows the problem properly vanishing in a flash and the doll burns removing the black and turning to white. \n\nMojo N

A simple questin, but one without a simple answer.\nWiccan's are also known as white witches. \nwicca is a peaceful nature worshipping religion. wiccan's belive in the God and Goddess and try and work in Harmony with both mankind and nature.\nThe only rule wiccan's live by is "And harm to none, do what ye will" which means as long as no one, including yourself, gets hurt in any way then you can do anything you like.\nWiccan's do not believe in the devil, nor any singular reprisentative for evil. to give evil a shape and a name is to give it power over you. wiccans belive there are negative forces out there as part of the laws of balance, for good to exist there must be evil. but they also belive that these forces can easily be repelled or perhaps ewven destroyed. because of this wiccan's also don't belive in hell, they belive that any wrong doing is paid for in the life you are already living and not the next one.\nwiccans also belive in the rule of three, better known as karma. if you do a good thing then good things will happen to you three times better, but if you do something bad then something three times worse will happen to you.\nThe God and Goddess, or Lord and Lady, are worshipped by the wiccan's, but so are also a great range of other spirits and angels. The Lord and Lady live within summerland, the afterlife where all souls go to when they pass away. in the summerland you can rest for as long as you like before returning to this universe and being reincarnated as anything you like. \nIf you were a wiccan in one life you will become a wiccan again in every human life you take.\nwiccan's also belive in Magic, a power that everyone has and wiccans train themselves how to use. by summoning up energies from the world around you and using your will in order to acheive your goals, provided those work within the wiccan's rule of not hutrting anyone. karma will work hard and swift if you try and hurt someone with a spell.\nnot all wiccan's practise magic, some merely worship nature and try and live up to the wiccan principal of "and harm to known do what thy will"\nBecause it doesn't have a solid set of rules or dogmatic scripture to follow, many don't take wicca seriously as a religion. it is true that wicca is a bit of a pick and mix religion. you follow the parts that you like and leave the bits you don't wiccan's always say that if you just follow the core rule of wicca "don't hurt anyone...etc" the it doesn't matter how deeply involved you are in the ceramonies and rituals of the religion.\nrespecting others belifs is a main thing, disrespecting others is a kind of hurting them. if a person chooses to worship Budda, or the christian God then that is their choice, everyone has free will for a reason. respect their decision and ask they they do the same for you.\nThe goddess is like a Mother, she loves you constantly, and understands that different people will love her in return in different ways. \nwiccan's don't preech or force their religion onto others, but their ways aren't secret, all you have to do is ask. \nwicca has a long a rich history and it is a facinating and complicated religion that can take a lifetime to learn about. but that also is the point of wicca, to continue to learn and grow as a person not only in one life but in all of them.\nThere are many books on the subject of wicca and i personaly read those written by a woman called Silver Ravenwolf. they are available online and at certain bookshops and alternative taste stores often referred to as Goth Shops.

I don't know what you mean by abilities. \nMoving things without touching them is called Telekinesis, and while I'm sure there are witches who can also do it, it's not a witch thing. You can't change the shape of something, or stop time or make the sun and the moon run backward or anything, but we, I mean, myself and the other witches with whom I associate can, and have healed others, and also made them sick, caused and cured insanity, increased and decreased fertility in plants, animals and humans, and caused various machines to act wacky. I have personally caused nymphomania, impotence and car trouble, though not always on purpose. Many of us are able to communicate with animals, and we are also able to communicate with each other without the use of a telephone. \n\nEx. My boyfriend lives 600 miles from me, and we are able to enter each other's dreams, feel each other's emotions and communicate with each other telepathically. I made a charm to aid us in doing so and we each carry it always, but we probably don't need it.\n\nLet's see... shapeshifting is a skill some of us have, but it's not what you think. It's more of a glamour. Astral projection is a simple feat, travelling in spirit form, entering people's dreams, spying on them, etc. Channelling spirits is also pretty easy, if you let it happen. In both cases it's a matter of allowing it to happen and not freaking out.\n\nYou can't turn someone into a toad, but a very skilled witch can make someone think they're a toad or give someone a toadish aura, if that makes sense to you. You can't defy the laws of physics, just can't be done. \n\nAnyone can learn to do these things. These are innate abilities, like speech that are easily learnable. However, much like speech, if you are discouraged from doing it as a child, or never learn it, the older you get, the harder it is.
