Common Myths About Spells
Common Myths About Spells
When talking about Wicca/witchcraft, people or media usually think/talk about black magick and how it has put humankind into danger, portrayed as evil whether it is scenes from the books or from movies. Magick and spell-casting are surrounded by myths and misconceptions which eventually buried its true essence and principles. For the followers of Wicca/witchcraft, they would refer to it as magick to differentiate from the illusion created by magicians spelled magic without the “k” at the end.
What are these myths and how come they are not real?
Myth 1: Those who practice spell-casting and magick worship the Devil or Satan.
For those who practice and follow witchcraft, good and evil is relevant. What is important is that spells are carefully thought over and it would not harm anyone. In addition to that, Devil or Satan is a Christian construct. It is not included in the witch’s pantheon.
Hell is another Christian construct that Wiccans and Pagan believers do not believe. It does not mean that because they are not concerned with hell they would commit evil acts. Wiccans and Pagans commit good acts because they know that this would reflect later on in their lives and even in their next life.
Myth 2: Spells have that visual and sound effects just like in Harry Potter films.
Spells, for Wicca followers and Pagan believers, are like prayers for Christians. They can be a way of communicating with the universe your intent or desire. Spells could also be a way of communicating with the gods and goddesses.
Spells do not have the sound and video effects like in movies. In fact, some spells do not occur or manifest within a few hours. Usually, it takes weeks or sometimes months before the spells would take effect. Spells could be about wealth, health, energy, peace and even love.
Myth 3. Casting spells would require very rare materials.
Casting spells do not require you to use rare and weird materials, just like in movies. Spell-caters would usually use the energies from natural materials like herbs, incense, candles, oils, flowers and other essences. In spell-casting, what is important is the emotion and the intent. Focusing your energy and using materials to contain and direct your energy towards your intent are the things that would make your spell a success.
Myth 4. Spells backfire.
For Wiccans, every spell or action must be carried out as long as it does not cause any harm. You find this rule in the, “The Wiccan Rede.” Aside from that, Wiccans and Pagan followers strongly believe in the Law of Threefold. Whatever is done would return back in threefold. In this sense, it does not mean that spells backfire, it would just show that whatever is done will come back. Good intentions and positive wishes would not create negative effects.
