How Witches Raise Energy and Power through Simple Actions

“I seem to let my tiredness stop me from doing rituals,” Sarah, an acquaintance, said.

“I’ve learned that ‘simple’ can be powerful,” I replied. This led to an important conversation.

Here are three insights:

Simple can be powerful.

To do magick, it takes focused attention. When you focus on a few, simple details, this concentrates your efforts. Essential details include Casting Circle, calling in the Elementals, inviting the Gods in, dismissing the Elementals at the end of the ritual … and more.

Complexity can scatter your energy.

I’ve noticed that doing a complex ritual can potentially trip you up with concerns about getting each little step right. The more pieces you have to your ritual, the more your energy is diverted to those individual pieces. Your focus can be scattered away from the true work of your ritual.

For example, let’s say you’re doing a candle ritual to manifest something good in your life. However, you got the notion to do more than dressing the candle. You might add complex chants or advanced methods of decorating the candle during the ritual.

Realize that the more “moving parts” you put into a ritual, the more things can go wrong.

Let’s return to the idea of simple can be powerful.

Pay attention to “when” as much as “how.”

If you want your ritual to bring something to you, you do the ritual during the waxing moon.

If you want to get rid of something, you do your ritual during the waning moon.

Days of the Week

Another strategy for making your spell more potent is to use the correct day of the week. Plan to do your spell on the day that rules what you are seeking to accomplish. Here is an abbreviated list of the days, Deities, and what they rule.

Sunday – Helios – Prosperity, power, strength, vitality, honor, passion

Monday – Diana – Agriculture, childbirth, instinct, a woman’s cycles, secrets

Tuesday – Mars – Conflict resolution, drive, war, domination, justice, protection

Wednesday – Mercury – intellect, communication, mind, and intellectual pursuits, law and court cases

Thursday – Jupiter – Travel, wisdom, animals, gambling, increase

Friday – Venus – Love spells, feminine issues, emotions, marriage

Saturday – Saturn – Discipline, responsibility, hard work

Planetary Hours

The Planetary Hours can help boost your magick with the energy of the planets.
