Witchcraft is a magical practice performed in many different ways, and is practiced all over the world.  Witchcraft is a science and art of creative consciousness, and has always been around in some form or the other.  Wicca is the old English term for the witch, and was used when the witchcraft was practiced as a religion.   The techniques of witchcraft have been practiced by only a set of men and women, and these people have been looked at with fear, awe and also hatred.

A spell is the act of focused, powerful volition that rallies all the mental and emotional energies combined with incantations, prayers and few ritualistic steps directed to achieve positive results.  A spell can be in the form of a speech, prayer, action, writing, drawing, sketching or dancing, and involves a magical occurrence.  Magical spell is the transformative and creative performance, and does not involve esoteric mumbo jumbo, sleight of hand or trickery seen in every day.   While performing the witchcraft and casting a spell, the witch takes on the responsibility on to herself.

The first step towards learning the witchcraft is to study the religion, and you can do this by studying several journals and books online and offline.  To practice witchcraft, it is essential to explore your unique and magical pitch or tone that is different from the regular speaking voice.  The basic principles of witchcraft include casting circles, calling quarters, invoking Gods, raising and channeling energies and in the end, grounding, centering and closing the circle.  Write down your own rituals and dedicate yourself to witchcraft, and always be particular about safe practice.

Once you feel that the enough energy is generated, you need to release it by saying the chant for the last time, and ending with ‚ÄòSo Mote It Be‚Äù.  Witches have a strong belief in the Law of Three which claims that anything sent out into their world returns back to them three fold, either bane or good.  The circle of energy must be purified and cleaned by sweeping it, and then burning the incense sticks to create the spiritual ambience.  Witches are just like other human beings and are capable of making errors and mistakes in judgment, and flaws in human nature apply to the witches as well.

In the recent years, the use of herbs to heal the people has been rediscovered, hence make use of valuable healing properties of herbs.  Meditation is a good way to look within yourself, and discover your own powers.   After the task has been performed, the raised energy needs to be grounded back, and though most of the raised energy is spent to cast the spell, some remains unutilized, which must be released into the earth.  Prior to using any of the witchcraft tools, consecration must be practiced.
