Nowhere in human existence is the old phrase, "Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it!" more true and important than in the working of magic. Considering the capricious nature of so many of the forces one deals with in the Craft, precision in the wording of your spells and incantations is essential. Even the more benign spirits may provide you with something very different than you wanted if your wording is vague enough to allow wide interpretation of the conditions of your desire.
Spoken language does have its limitations. With only a set number of sound combinations we are able to produce, communication requires that many words carry multiple meanings that are determined by the context of the surrounding sentence. Other words utilize the same sound while having various, totally unrelated, meanings. Into this amalgam of ever-evolving language forms one must overlay the cultural specific slang terms that comprise a great deal of our spoken heritage.

One does not have to venture far into the world of magic and witchcraft to find references to using salt for the purpose of purification. The use of this basic mineral in practical, ritual and religious matters can be traced all the way back into the fogs of pre-history. Salt has been almost universally accepted and used for this purpose despite the cultural differences or distance between ancient civilizations.
In an older world, with an entirely different view of science than the modern all-material outlook of the Industrial Revolution, it was discovered that salt was a perfect physical representation of the element of Earth. On the purely mundane level of the physical level of reality, salt acts as a preservative, creating an environment hostile to the growth of putrefying forces. We know them as bacteria.

It is a basic human need to desire love and affection from another person. To this end many forlorn folk seek surcease from their loneliness through the use of magic and witchcraft to bring someone's affection to them. While this may sound like a noble cause on the surface, the use of love spells is a very dangerous and potentially damaging activity.
On its most basic level, a "love" spell is intended to subvert the object's personal freewill and force them to give their attentions to a specific person, the spell caster, whether there is any normal attraction between them or not. By using such a spell on someone, you have set yourself up to come between the desired person and the path they may have chosen for their own life. The spell becomes a trap that holds another person hostage to your will rather than letting the natural pathway of their life to unfold.

There may be times that you wanted something so bad that you feel your entire being vibrating to achieve it. These are your inner desires showing itself. Other times, these hidden dreams and fantasies are manifested in your dreams. Numerology can help you determine what these inner dreams and desires are.

Life is all about balance. Finding one’s balance or center provides stability in one’s life. In Numerology there is what we call a Balance number. A Balance Number in Numerology provides us with guidance on how to deal with difficult situations that we will encounter in life.
By adding the numerical value of the initials of your full birth name, you will get your Balance Number. For example, John Michael Smith has the initials of J, M and S. Its equivalent core numbers are 1, 4, and 1. Add these numbers and reduce it, if applicable, to a single digit number (1 + 4 + 4 = 9). The Balance Number then is 9. In finding your Balance Number, sums that results to one of the master numbers, the numbers 11 and 22, are reduced to a single digit number.

When we were born and the name we were born with can readily determine what we may become in the future. This practice of analyzing the meaning behind numbers normally through a person’s fate birth date and birth name is called Numerology. Among the practices in occult arts, Numerology is the easiest to understand and use.
In occult numerology, there are 11 recognized numbers used in constructing a Numerology chart. Each letter from the alphabet is grouped into these master numbers. These “core” numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 22. These numbers hold different characteristics and expressions in Numerology.

Names are words we use to identify or represent something or someone. Obtaining a name implies a change of direction or the acquisition of new learning. In the Wicca society names are also used. These magical or craft names are used by practitioners during rituals or when they are with their coven. Historically, in the Craft, names are used for secrecy and safety purposes.
Nowadays, acquiring a Craft or Wiccan name is not necessary. However, some believe that getting a Craft name allows them to connect more to their magical self. A craft name is a representation of what they have achieved while practicing the Craft. Getting a craft name symbolizes rebirth. A craft or Wiccan name sends a vibration identifying who you are and, more often than not, you imbibe the name you have chosen. Naming yourself “Fox” will make you feel more elusive or the name “Pixie” will make you more ethereal.
