by Tonya A. Brown

Connect to the energy of the world however you would like. Now is the time to make use of the energy tapping techniques we learned about in chapter 3 (here to here). Do you prefer visualizing? Meditating? Moving energy with Reiki? 2.Heighten your power by wearing or engaging with whatever makes you feel a power surge through your body. Earlier, we talked about setting your space and wearing things that make you feel powerful. Now is the time to implement this. Do you like the idea of a circle of salt and candles? Does a special garment make you feel powerful? 3.Perform your spell using whatever your preferred method is—oil creation, crystals, herbals, folk magic, crafting, petitions, or stating intentions. This is where the spells that follow fit into the witchcraft cycle we discussed. 4.Complete the spell and release the energy. You can do this by either grounding, pushing it into the world, or releasing any spirits or gods you’ve called in. 5.Follow through with any actions you’ve declared in your spell work. This could include keeping a charm on your body, giving an offering you promised to your spirits, or using oils regularly.
