A friend told me that A spell is an organized wish or thought that carries with it the power to manifest a desire or goal. A spell is a means of taking action to bring about changes or to better our lives or those of others around us.Whereas A ritual is a celebration or honoring of an event or an occasion and can be very simple or very elaborate..But must not taken lightly they can be dangerous you have to take care of many things while doing ritual like correspondence and do it correctly timing for some rituals etc or if done wrong can be not good..Rituals are usually bigger then spells and known to be stronger then spell well spells are also powerful though..
Blessed Be
A spell isn't necessarily an organized set of words: they can be anything from a silent wish to an intricate layout.
Rituals are, as previously mentioned, done in a religious setting. Often for many witches that means doing them in correlation with any holidays they practice, as well as doing them at an altar, shrine, or similar. But that is not always the case - as with Wiccans, generally rituals are proceeded by the opening of a circle. There are a number of ways to do this if you wish to include it in your path.
Anything specific you'd like to know, feel free to ask!
Ask yourself these questions about your spells:
Are the spells you're attemping realistic?
Is there more than one possible outcome, even if it is not what you desired?
Are they too intricate and complicated for you to keep them organized?
Are there signs showing the spell is working, but that it has not reached an end point?
Are you giving the spells enough time to come to an end?
DeanJoker do you have the basics down also you need to write your own spells or try another method.Every spell has a purpose and the type of spell you do and how you do it affects everything.Protection spells I call on the angels,good luck spells I focus on surrounding myself with positive energy.I also use runes
since there is not much to work with them.
You can check to see the day and phase of the moon since this too affects your spells.You must have absolute faith in yourself and trust the method you are doing.Otherwise your spell wont all that well for you in the first place.
Brightest Blessings
