I have folks ask me questions about spell crafting all the time. When you craft a spell YOU are creating a brand new spell. The spell can be as simple as lighting a candle or as complex as having multiple candles, herbs, stones and crystals, adding sigils and runes including pictures and so on.
But regardless of how long there are a couple of things you need to remember that are very important.
If you open a door or portal to another world or dimension, be sure to close it or put a time limit on how long it is open. I recently had a discussion with a friend regarding a spell she had seen that someone in a group she belonged to had written. The person that had written the spell had started out with the opening sentence of "I open the gates of hell". And that was just the first mistake. Also be sure and specify who or what can come through.
First off Witches, those who are serious and not wanna be's understand that Witches don't believe in a specific place called Hell where Satan rules and those that don't believe in Jesus go after death.
Yes we understand that there is evil and there are evil beings, but we don't ascribe to the Christian belief that there is a Jesus, or his nemesis Satan or any of the other names he goes by. But understanding the fact that magic is based on Quantum Physics you understand that by having a number of folks doing such a spell will result in the spell bringing into being chaos. Why you ask? Simply put because magic is a matter of intent and belief. IF you have bought into the Christian concept of Hell and Satan, and each individual involved in said spell is going to have their own idea of what Hell is, then you will have pure chaos and a creation of said beings etc being set loose. So to be blunt the person who was trying in their own way to create justice, inadvertently ended up creating chaos and harm.
As the spell finished, the gate was never closed nor a time limit on how long it would remain open. Wonderful, not. So now we have chaos open for an unlimited amount of time. So you can see where this is headed. We have chaos and negativity pouring in with no limit, nor any control. Yikes!!
The second thing to remember is if you don't know nor understand how to control a specific being then don't call upon them. Calling upon the "Angel of Chaos" or the "demon Astaroth" or any other being you aren't familiar with is just asking for trouble. In other words if you know nothing about a being, don't call upon them. Exorcisms and banishments of powerful beings are NOT easy.
The third thing is specificity. If you are going to take action against a specific person, name them instead of leaving it open by saying them, they etc. If you don't know the name, say something to specify what action is objectionable that will help narrow it down. Specify what action you want to occur to said person. For example if Missy at work is telling lies and has a few friends who you don't know repeating them, Specify Missy and those who are helping her spread lies on whatever or whoever. Specify that you want her to stop lying on you, and specify that when she lies on you she will be caught out in her lie.
Finally after crafting a spell, go back over it and check it to make sure it will work as you wish it too.
Check for words that may cause unintended things to occur. Do this several times. Remember magic follows the path of least resistance, so to get what you want to happen in a certain way, you have to plan it that way.
Once you write your first spell, you will feel more comfortable and soon will be crafting them easily. Good luck!!
