How to write spells & rituals
What is your intention? What do you want to achieve/manifest?
What kind of technique do you want to use?
Different methods have different time scales, and they have different desired outcomes.
You want a small jar, with a cork lid or a screw top, doesn't matter. You're going to seal it with wax later. You can easily get one at your local dollar store. Then you're going to want to pick your incense for cleansing your items. Set your intention, ground and center. Then you're going to want to add your salt, one that corresponds with what you're trying to achieve, along with herbs, and crystals, powders, flower petals, and maybe add a petition if you choose. Then end with a sigil of your intention on the top. Light your candle with the color that corresponds to your intention and let it run down sealing your jar.
Same as the Jar spell. You want to write a petition, so you need to know what kind of paper you're going to use or what type of ink you're going to write with. Then what kind of sweetening agent? Sugar? Syrup? Honey?
In this case you want to do the same thing as a Jar spell, except you want to use a skull candle, again color is based on your intention. Place it on a fire proof surface. Then add a petition and taglocks, along with your herbs and oils or powders (make sure they're safe as the skull candle burns down).
Now when do you want to do your spell? Is there a specific time you want to do the working? Morning, afternoon, night? A specific moon phase? A New moon, a full moon, the waxing, the waning or the dark moon? Maybe a particular day? What time best corresponds with your spell? You want whatever help you can get for your spell to work.
Deities or Spirits: (optional)
What about Deities, spirits, ancestors, beings or the fae? If you want to work with the fae, you would want to give regular offerings for a few months before you can do that working. If you'd rather work with your ancestors, then you'd want to create an ancestor altar, leaving out offerings for them and changing their water every Sunday. If you want to work with a spirit or deity, you must first form a connection with them and have things prepared to leave an offering. It's very important to have a suitable connection as well as leaving suitable offerings in order for your working to be accepted and manifest.
Do you want to write something on a petition? Do you want to say a chant, something that is repeated over and over as a way to raise energy? Do you want to write a petition to a particular Deity, or spirit? Overall your intention and energy is the most important thing, and that is enough for the spirits and ancestors to hear you.
