Once you experienced and knowledgeable of basics correspondence of magic etc you can create your own spells and rituals
Figure out the goal or intent of the working.
What is it you wish to accomplish? Are you
looking for prosperity? Hoping to get a better
job? Trying to bring love into your life? What is
the specific aim of the spell? Whatever it may
be, make sure you're clear on what it is you
want -- "I will get that promotion at work!"
2. Determine what material components you’ll
need to achieve the goal. Will the working
require herbs, candles, stones? Try to think
outside the box when you’re composing a spell
-- remember that magic relies heavily on
symbolism. There’s nothing wrong with using
unusual ingredients in a working -- Hot Wheels
cars, chess pieces, bits of hardware,
sunglasses and even old DVDs are all fair
game.
3. Decide if timing is important. In some
traditions, moon phase is crucial, while in
others it’s not significant. Generally, positive
magic, or workings that draw things to you, is
performed during the waxing moon. Negative
or destructive magic is done during the waning
phase. It may be that you feel a certain day of
the week is best for the working, or even a
certain hour of the day. Don’t feel obligated to
drown yourself in the details, though. If you’re
a person who feels confident doing magic on
the fly without worrying about timing, then go
for it.
4. Figure out what wording or incantation -- if
any -- will be verbalized during the working.
Are you going to chant something formal and
powerful, calling upon the gods for
assistance? Will you simply mutter a poetic
couplet under your breath? Or is it the sort of
working where you can simply ponder the
Universe in silence?
5. Put all of the above together into a workable
form, and then, in the immortal words of the
Nike commercial, Just Do It.
TIPS
Despite this being a very bare-bones and
simple way of looking at spell construction, it
does work effectively. You may wish to keep a
magical journal or make notes in your Book of
Shadows during the spell construction phase,
and then keep track of results as they begin to
manifest.
2. If a working hasn't begun to manifest within a
few weeks -- some traditions say within 28
days, a lunar month -- you may want to stop
and revisit the working. Figure out what
variables may need to be changed.
3. The Universe has a quirky sense of humor, so
make sure anything you cast a spell for is
worded correctly. In other words, be careful
what you wish for, because you just might get
it!
4. Remember that magic is a tool and a skill set,
but some common sense should prevail as
well. You can cast all day to get yourself a job,
but your chances of success are greatly
reduced if you haven't pounded the pavement
and sent out copies of your resume!
