What does it take to cast a spell? and how can I learn on my own?

Question

What I need is how to learn how to cast a spell for courage.

Answer 1

Well, there are many ways. What you need to do is gather up all the things that symbolize courage for you. Lions are traditional; you want a small statue of a lion, or even a photo would do. You also want to classify what sort of courage you're talking about: courage to do what? To defend yourself is one sort; to do something you fear will hurt is another. So you need something that symbolizes the fear in a form you can burn. A piece of paper is fine.

Now you want a candle of the right color. Courage is often thought to be symbolized by red, which is the color of blood. I would probably use red myself. Rub the candle with an aromatic oil which represents courage to you. Abramelin oil would be great, but it's hard to find. Something robust and manly: you will have to choose that for yourself. Perhaps whatever best approximates the scent used by your father or grandfather when you were a child.

Next, you need to purify yourself. Ritual purification always starts with physical purification: take a bath, get really clean. If you can do your ritual naked, that's best. If not, a loose robe or caftan is best. Or a loincloth, if you know how to wind one. Arrange the physical elements of your spell before you, on the floor or a low table, and sit before them and concentrate on what you want to achieve: your True Will. Then light the special candle, asking it to enlighten you as to the true nature of courage. Meditate on the candle flame until you become aware that courage is mostly an act of will, and you do have the will. Keep your backbone very straight as you meditate. Visualize the thing that has challenged you as growing smaller, smaller, smaller. Now put the picture of it in the flames. Hold it for as long as you can, even if it risks burning your fingers slightly. Drop it only when it is mostly all ash.

Answer 2

Your own will power. Casting a spell does not suddenly cause you to be courageous... it is merely a focus for your own will in order to bring about a desired result. If you wish to be courageous, then you need to work on your own will-power in order to bring that about. No amount of chanting, candle lighting, incense burning, etc will EVER give that to you.

Answer 3

You might call on your ancestors to guide you through whatever you feel you need courage for. Think about what in your life makes you feel safe and then call on all these sources and walk forth. As people we tend to fear the idea more than the real problem and if we have already experienced the preceived fear, then facing the real thing is a breeze!

Answer 4

At its most basic, it takes intent. You must be able to concentrate - focus on what it is you want to accomplish.

I recommend that you read a bit before you start, there are guidelines out there that should be followed. because you're manipulating your outgoing universal energy you need to make sure you're going to get back the kind of universal energy you want. This is called a lot of things, kharma, the Rede, the Rule of Three.

Knowing can save you a lot of hassle. Causing negative energy to come to you sucks.

Answer 5

There are a lot of better ways to deal with fear than launching into a study of energy manipulation.
