Everyone has a special friendthat special someone who is always there to help, give advice, whether you want it or not, and lend a hand when one is needed. I have been blessed with two such special people, two folks who always seem to be there when I need them; to help with computer glitches, and there have been hundreds; to drive me and a sick pet to the animal hospital on New Year's eve; to help with mountains of mail, grocery shopping, and all the things it takes to to run a church and school.

To Autumn and Aristaeus, I thank you, I love you, and I don't know what I would do without you.

Magick is the most vital force in our lives. It gives us personal mastery over our destiny so we are no longer victims of fate. To study magick is to study life, and to understand the concept of controlled coincidence. Things do not happen randomly, but rather in conjunction or answer to a previously set up condition. The past is what controls the present, and the present is what creates the future.

In essence, magick, is the rediscovery of your basic ability to create. What you create or make happen today, is going to reflect on how you are able to deal with tomorrow. If you were to get that much needed pay raise today, you could pay your bills tomorrow, and even plan for something special in the future.

Learning to do magick is like learning to driveyou learn by doing. You take a little time each day to practice, and pretty soon you have it mastered. By learning to drive, you increase your mobility and thus your realm of opportunities. You can suddenly go places and do things you weren't able to do before. Each time you use magick, your ability to control your life increases, and the better your chances are of getting what you want.

Discover how Witchcraft and magick can help you lead a better, more fulfilling life. Arranged alphabetically, the magickal rites in this book can help you solve those annoying, everyday problems that cause stress and anxiety. Each entry is fully defined, and then followed by time tested spells that really workspells that will fit into your fast-paced life style. Best of all, you don't need to be a trained initiate, or have special powers, to make use of the material in this book. All you need is an open mind, and the desire to succeed.

The word Witch derives from the Anglo-Saxon wicca a magickian who weakens the power of evil, or one who is able to bend reality using natural forces.

Generally, Witchcraft employs the powers of nature to create a charm, philtre, potion or spell to bring about the desired change. The physical object then becomes the catalyst or focal point of the magickal operation.

You decide what it is you want, and then you create a spell or magickal rite to get it. You are in control at all times, and the outcome depends on your focused will. The only limitations on magick, are those you place upon it.

Spells are one of the most popular and delightful ways to approach magick. Since they do not require any specific amount of room, elaborate equipment, or special training, anyone can do them. The only thing you really need to make a spell work is, a strong desire to have something or someone.

So, with all this in mind are you ready to do magick? Are you ready to cast that magick spell that will help you get the things you really need and want? If the answer is yes, then you have the right book in your hand. The charms, spells, and magickal formulas in this book are easy to follow, and do not demand impossible-to-find ingredients. In fact, most of spells and rituals in this book make use of everyday things like herbs, plants, minerals, and candles. For those magickal operations that do require special items, such as oils or incense, recipes are provided.
