Chandra- I have a couple questions for you.. -How long have you been practicing and how long has your coven been working together? - Are you doing spell work for the sake of doing spell work? -Do you know that many Witches/Wiccans will approach anything (problems, situations) from the mundane before they approach from the magickal?

You got excellent info for layout from blackpelt, and you got my reasoning for not giving out spells from Moondog- I would expand on that a bit though. When we create our own spells they are coming from heart and Spirit. This makes them extremely personal and extremely powerful. When we follow anothers instruction we do not have that internal connection - this is coming from energy on a page as opposed to our own and Spirits energy. I would also suggest that when you go through the steps of something you have worked out personally -you truly absorb and learn the lesson of the act. I know personally, when I do do spell work (which is not terribly often) I am in a sacred space within and without when I am creating the work. This is deeply personal and something not to be shared with another but me and my God/desses.

If you have any questions as to mechanics of creating spells or meditations as to what needs to be present- I would be more than happy to help- I wont indescrimanently hand out pieces of my heart and Spirit though... Too much work and time go into these to give away. Also- and this is why I ask as to your experience- giving spells out to those that are inexperienced or new to the practice can be similar to handing matches to a child. I am not calling you a child nor I am I saying that you are inexperienced- I have no way of knowing this- but a spell in the hands of one who isnt familiar with law of return can truly get quite messy... As I said if I can be of help with mechanics- I will be more than happy to do that... Good luck to you Namaste- Moonie
