The Witches’ Spell by William Shakespeare

Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d.

Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin’d.

Harpier cries:—’tis time! ’tis time!

Round about the caldron go;

In the poison’d entrails throw.—

Toad, that under cold stone,

Days and nights has thirty-one;

Swelter’d venom sleeping got,

Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot!

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the caldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt, and toe of frog,

Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,

Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,

Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing,—

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;

Witches’ mummy; maw and gulf

Of the ravin’d salt-sea shark;

Root of hemlock digg’d i the dark;

Liver of blaspheming Jew;

Gall of goat, and slips of yew

Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse;

Nose of Turk, and Tartar’s lips;

Finger of birth-strangled babe

Ditch-deliver’d by a drab,—

Make the gruel thick and slab:

Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,

For the ingredients of our caldron.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon’s blood,

Then the charm is firm and good.

Foreword

If you want to cast a spell for the first time, learning the basics is prudent. This book is great for beginners and the more advanced Pagans who want to create their own spells. In these pages, you'll learn to cast a magick circle and call the four Quarters. You'll create a protection talisman or amulet to keep negative energy away during spellcasting. If you're a novice, read the book thoroughly. Don't rush into a spell that promises you riches, beauty or power. You must learn to focus during spellcasting to get what you want.

There are different methods to raise magickal energy and to apply that energy competently for the desired outcome. If you've read multiple books about the ancient Craft of conjuring, you'll notice there is more than one way to successfully cast a spell. I offer the methods and tools that have worked successfully for me and other Pagans with whom I practice the Craft.

You'll begin to make choices on what works best for you as you gain experience. Your natural intuition and special bond with the Goddess is as unique as you are, so don't be nervous about experimentation. This book is not an encyclopedia of spellcasting magick. Instead, I took great care to give you all the tools necessary to become a spellcaster. You'll find an accurate portrayal for each of the correspondences with a step-by-step method to create your own spells.

Once you begin, be very clear in your own mind about what you wish to accomplish with a spell. Do you want to attract a lover, or be more attractive to your lover? There is a difference. As a conjurer, you should be able to focus on the exact purpose and the end result you desire. Spellcasting takes practice, time and effort. Nothing of value in magick is done quickly. Take time to prepare and practice your new skills.

In all spellcasting, the correspondence of moon and planet phases, colors, metals, elements, herbs and the day of the week can all weaken or strengthen a spell. Some spells can be incredibly intricate with multiple altar tools, colored candles, herbs, and a double-sided Athame. The lunar or specific planetary cycles can greatly impact your degree of magick as well.

This book will give you the information, tools and basics to safely cast a spell. As a Witch who casts spells, I've led the focus toward Wicca and Witchcraft, but anyone can use this information. You will not find black magick or ways to harness negative energy to harm others. This spellcasting book contains white, pure and sometimes naughty magick only. The author's intention is for interest, fun and safe spells.

Read the Wiccan Rede to stay true to the Craft.

~Blessed Be~

Lady Rose Embyrs

Beyond the town, beneath the moon,

beside the standing stone,

there lives a woman, fair of faith,

we call the Witch alone.

She sings to sun, moon and stars

and gathers herbs and weeds

with which she fashions ancient charms

and other magic deeds.

~Scott Cunningham~

A Small Excerpt of

The Witch Alone

The Wiccan Rede

Bide within the Law you must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust.

Live you must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give.

For tread the Circle thrice about to keep unwelcome spirits out.

To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be said in rhyme.

Light of eye and soft of touch, speak you little, listen much.

Honor the Old Ones in deed and name,let love and light be our guides again.

Deosil go by the waxing moon, chanting out the joyful tune.

Widdershins go when the moon doth wane, and the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane.

When the Lady's moon is new, kiss the hand to Her times two.

When the moon rides at Her peak then your heart's desire seek.

Heed the North winds mighty gale, lock the door and trim the sail.

When the Wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast.

When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss you on the mouth.

When the wind whispers from the West, all hearts will find peace and rest.

Nine woods in the Cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow.

Birch in the fire goes to represent what the Lady knows.

Oak in the forest towers with might, in the fire it brings the God's insight.

Rowan is a tree of power causing life and magick to flower.

Willows at the waterside stand ready to help us to the Summerland.

Hawthorn is burned to purify and to draw faerie to your eye.

Hazel-the tree of wisdom and learning adds its strength to the bright fire burning.

White are the flowers of Apple tree that brings us fruits of fertility.

Grapes grow upon the vine giving us both joy and wine.

Fir does mark the evergreen to represent immortality seen.

Elder is the Lady's tree burn it not or cursed you'll be.

Four times the Major Sabbats mark in the light and in the dark.

As the old year starts to wane the new begins, it's now Samhain.

When the time for Imbolc shows watch for flowers through the snows.

When the wheel begins to turn soon the Beltane fires will burn.

As the wheel turns to Lamas night power is brought to magick rite.

Four times the Minor Sabbats fall use the Sun to mark them all.

When the wheel has turned to Yule light the log the Horned One rules.

In the spring, when night equals day time for Ostara to come our way.

When the Sun has reached it's height time for Oak and Holly to fight.

Harvesting comes to one and all when the Autumn Equinox does fall.

Heed the flower, bush, and tree by the Lady blessed you'll be.

Where the rippling waters go cast a stone, the truth you'll know.

When you have and hold a need, harken not to others greed.

With a fool no season spend or be counted as his friend.

Merry Meet and Merry Part bright the cheeks and warm the heart.

Mind the Three-fold Laws you should three times bad and three times good.

When misfortune is enow wear the star upon your brow.

Be true in love this you must do unless your love is false to you.

These Eight words the Rede fulfill-An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will

About the Author

Lady Rose Embyrs is a research scientist and a Witch. After writing many thrillers, paranormal and contemporary suspense romance novels under another name, she decided to share some of her favorite spells with the Pagan community.

When Rose began this manuscript, she'd intended on a small book of spells. Her friends encouraged her to write a book that anyone could use, regardless of their religious beliefs. A few months later, the book grew with correspondences and directions on how to cast your own spells.
