Be kind to others and be kind to yourself.
“This is done for the greatest good of all and may it harm none.”
the primary principle is to harm nothing and no one.
Each witch relies on her inner voice (or conscience, if you will) in determining how she wields magick.
stating your intention with absolute clarity is essential whenever you perform a spell.
Law of Attraction states that your thoughts, emotions, and actions affect the energetic patterns around you, and the most significant “tools” in magick are your thoughts and feelings.
Underlying all magick is a simple principle of physics: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Your thoughts and feelings generate energy, and they interact with the energy all around you in your environment.
First you create an image in your mind of what you desire and then imbue that image with energy and emotion. In time, what you conjured up mentally will emerge into the material world.
This means focusing your thoughts, raising your energy to the highest level you can, and using your will to bring your intentions into fruition.
“When you consider many subjects at the same time, you generally do not move forward strongly toward any of them, for your focus and your power is [sic] diffused.”
White magick’s purpose is to further spiritual growth, by strengthening your connection with the divine realm and/or gaining wisdom from a higher source. Black magick intends to harm or manipulate another person, or to interfere with his/her free will. Every other kind of magick is a shade of gray.

Gnomes adore jewelry and crystals. Bury a token in the ground as a way of saying “Thanks.” Sylphs enjoy flowers. Place fresh blossoms on your altar or lay them in a sacred spot outdoors as an offering. Salamanders like candles and incense. Burn these to honor your fiery helpers.

The Wiccan Rede
Create: This means eliminating thoughts, feelings, and energies that would distract you, so that your psyche is calm and all those everyday annoyances have been left behind. Cleanse: Clean up the area you will be using so that you have a tidy, pleasant place in which to work. Purify: This is the magickal counterpart to cleansing. Purification removes negative energy. Consecrate: This step involves blessing the space in some fashion.

Mobile Magick You can even make a mobile altar to take along with you when you travel. You can transform a small box into a portable altar. Decorate it with images that imply “magick” to you, or pack a pretty scarf to drape over it. Fill the box with a few of the basics—tea light candles, incense cones, small crystals, etc. Or, consider putting an “altar” on your smartphone or iPad. Photograph your home altar or choose images that speak to you, and look at them whenever you want, wherever you go. Add some peaceful music to set the mood and you’re good to go.
