What Exactly is a Spell?
In modern Western witchcraft, a spell can be formally defined as a deliberate, ritualistic act of focused intention that utilizes symbolic actions, words, or tools to manifest desired changes in reality. It operates within the framework of personal belief, energy work, and the practitioner’s connection to natural or spiritual forces.
The success of a spell depends on the caster’s intent, visualization, and alignment with the energetic or divine forces being invoked, directed, transformed, or dispelled.
Spells can serve various purposes such as healing, protection, manifestation, or transformation and are typically structured with clearly defined intentions, methods, and outcomes.
