THE MAGICAL PROCESS : I create all my potions on the night of a Full Moon to harness its vast sources of spiritual power. When the Moon reaches this phase, it is at its most potent. The first step is choosing the type of potion and then writing my magic spell to match. Basically, a spell is a verbal expression of a specific wish. Like a prayer, a spell finds its energy from the spell-caster. Meditation, visualization, concentration, and imagination are all required to send forth energy for the intent of a spell to grow and manifest into reality. When performing all my magical workings, I use several tools, which I place on my altar. These were all previously consecrated under a Full Moon. The cup is my primary tool to channel focused energy. It is made of silver, which has long been associated with the Moon. This magical container holds a specific essential oil to which I add flowers, plants and herbs. While blending all the ingredients together, I recite my magic spell. Next to my cup, I light a candle, which is anointed with the oil. I carefully consider what color of candle to burn as each color has its own magical associations. Gazing into the flame is, to me, the purest means of focusing in on energy and power. It also helps send a specific message to the Universe.   Along with the candle, I burn incense to infuse the air with magical intent. The type of incense I use corresponds to the spell being performed. Stones and crystals have long been viewed as possessing magical influences. Each type contains its own unique properties. This is why I place at least one on my altar. The four Elements (Earth, Air, Fire and Water) play significant roles in our daily lives. They are extremely powerful sources of energy, and as such, help to boost the magic. As a magical practitioner, I incorporate the Elemental energies into the ritual process. On my altar, Earth is represented by a cup of salt, Air by incense, Fire by a burning candle and Water by a cup of water. All potions are for entertainment purposes only
