The Sacred Hearth

A spelli is a specific kind of magic that involves altering the energy of the Universe (or a specific person of object) through the force of your own energy in order to bring about a change in accordance with your Will. To accomplish this, you must first change the "flavor" of your energy before sending it out. There are many ways to do this. An accomplished Witchi can change her energy by simply changing her mood. Some cultures believe in the ability to cause change by accident through the force of strong emotion. This is sometimes known as the "evil eye" and it is the same kind of thing, just not as structured. The majority of modern Witches surround themselves with objects, colors, scents, etc. that represent their intention and say chants to help them focus which allows them to change the "flavor" (sometimes referred to as color or vibration) of their energy before sending it out into the world. A spell generally has 3 parts.

1. Establishing your intent- During this part, you "get in the mood". You surround yourself with objects that represent your intent or simply focus on it, whichever method you prefer.
2. Build energy- Once your intent is established, you continue to focus while building up your personal energy. This is done through chanting, dancing, beating a drum, shaking a rattle, visualizationi, meditationi and/or sexual activity.
3. Release energy- Once the energy has peaked, it is released into the world. Some Witches simply visualize the energy releasing into a person or object or disappating into the Universe at large, while others may perform some physical action to release the energy, such as pointing, throwing their arms wide, or collapsing to the ground.
