A Witch's Guide To Spellcraft

While there is more to witchcraft than casting spells, it’s hard to deny that spellcraft still plays a key part and is often how many of us start out in the magickal arts. But like most aspects of witchcraft, spellcraft is not easy. Lighting a thousand candles and reciting just as many beautifully rhyming words will not, in themselves, get the job done. It takes concerted and consistent effort to develop, hone, and maintain the skills and abilities that are necessary to make the magick go.

Yet the ability to work effective magick is there for us all, and by making simple changes in your approach, you can create deep and lasting changes within your life.

• troubleshoot failed spells so you can be more effective with your magick

• become a stronger witch through active spell casting and find direction for your personal practice

• dissolve the separation between magick and the mundane so you can create real and lasting change in your life

Through eight lessons aligned to the lunar cycle, you will develop a deeper understanding of the art of spellcraft so you can devise an effective plan of action for your magickal goals.
