Binding a Spell

Post # 1
I found this spell on sacred texts, and I was wondering what it means. Binding a spell? I don't understand the purpose of this spell. Is it to make your spell more powerful? Or to make your spell bound to someone, or even just make a certain spell not work on you?


Binding a Spell (Classic version)

Come ye as the charm is made!
Queen of heaven, Queen of hell,
Horned Hunter of the night
Lend your power unto the spell,
And work our will by magic rite!
By all the power of land and sea,
By all the might of moon and sun
I call the Earth to bind my spell.
Air to speed it well.
Bright as Fire shall it glow.
Deep as tide of Water flow.
Count the elements fourfold,
In the fifth the spell shall hold.

It's a type of sealing, like the period at the end of a sentence. Some people find this desirable and think it adds to the power.

Another spell binding i remember from my youth is one from the Spiral Dance by Starhawk. I sued it for years and was quite happy with it. I don't practice Neo-Pagan magic any more, but i still have the binding comitted to memory:

"By all the powers of three time three,
this spell bound round shall be
to cause no harm to others, nor come back on me.
As i do will it, so mote it be."

"sued" should be "used" in the second sentence.
