Witchcraft - what its really like

Once people start using witchcraft, they should become aware of the special dates in the year for casting spells. There are days when the position of the earth in relationship to the other planets and the sun allows for a more effective use of magnetic forces. There are special festival dates : February 2, April 30, August 1 and, of course, October 31.

The other dates are not the same every year, because the earth doesn't come back to the same position, in relation to the sun every year on the same day. Very effective times are around March 21, the vernal equinox; June 21, the summer solstice; September 21, the autumnal equinox; and December 21, the winter solstice.

Get a current calendar and find out the first day of spring; certain spells are cast the night before. Also important are the nights before the first day of summer, autumn and winter. There seems to be more force to spells cast at these times. Another thing to watch is the moon. New and full-moon days are very effective for spellcasting. Use the new moon for beginnings and the full moon for endings — either for romance.



The moon dates give you twenty-four good spell days a year. The special dates and festivals give you another eight. That's thirty-two spell days a year, which ought to keep anybody hopping. The new moon is when the moon is dark, and anything you do at the new moon should be something that you want quick results from because it's bound to happen in the next two weeks. By the time the moon is full you should get what you want. Usually the new moon spell is used for quick attractions. They're not days to use for your whole life-span project. Use the vernal equinox for the life pattern and the new moon for fun and games.
