ravenwhite wrote:SpiritTalker, I have wrestled with this for a VERY long time. I have created an altar, and I am studying the elements. I see them as manifested energy, not as individual gods. I am very interested in folk magic, and I am trying to learn some simple spells and rituals to kind of get started. there is so much information. In addition to this I am still trying to reconcile casting spells, witchcraft and being a christian. I think I am pretty much there but I am very open to any informtion that would continue to support this
Studies - Take it deeper & make it personal by journaling about what you do
. You've made a personal altar -
.
. You're studying the elements of matter -
.
. There are elemental-beings comprised of their own element. It's been shown by a Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto that water has memory

. Youβre aware of land spirits who dwell in geographic locations & have intelligence & limited will -
.
. I recall a comment made by Janet Farrar in an interview re: the rituals in her books : "Oh I don't use those. I just write that for other people."
That's when I stopped memorizing gawd-awful long addresses to the mighty & dread lords of the watchtowers & relaxed.
Can you be a Christian witch?
Italian Folk Magic: Rue's Kitchen Witchery by Mary-Grace Fahrun is Christian folk magic.
Powers of the Psalms by Anna Riva is for candle magic.
. See the posts
Christian Candle Magic and
Candle Magic with Psalms in the Christian Witchcraft sub section, and
Psalm Magic in the Folk Magic sub-section; & the post-a-Spell section βsimple spellsβ post for more info.
. A Christian Witch might pray to The Father/Mother God and petition intercession of Angels & Saints through prayer-offerings. Google Archangels, Guardian Angel & Patron Saints prayers.
. Color use:
stimulates,
sustains,
relaxes conditions
. Scent use:
sweet/peace,
citrusy/purify,
forest/prosperity, πΆ
spicy/protection
. Easy circle: sprinkle holy
water
, lite incense, load-aim-push
to cast circle
. Aπ―candle would be cleansed with holy
water; anointed with
oil;
charged with prayer or your incantation; then set in a holder & lit to burn itself out.
. Sigil & petition
papers can be placed under candles &
crystals, Holy cards & Saints relic medals or other tag-lock links can be placed along side.
. Choose candles by burn-time: tapers @1-inch/hr, tea-lights 2-4 hrs, votives 10-15 hrs, 5-7 day vigil lights
DIY Holy Water: Bless salt & water separately -
In the Names of the (+)Father/Mother, (+)Son and (+)Holy Spirit, I charge you creature of salt/water with the power to dispel harmful forces. Add 3 pinches salt to 1/4 cup water. Likewise bless light olive oil and add 1 pinch of blessed salt to 1-Tbsp oil. Add essential oil scents if wanted.
