Magic is enchantment, spellcasting, bewitchment, and using the will to alter reality. Everything is interconnected and magic practitioners use consecrated magical tools to focus and send forth energies from within themselves, from the deities, or from natural power places to influence and to shape desired outcomes and to pattern events.

Spells are magical incantations or ritual activities; prayers or a set of actions; thoughts or projections that are intended to produce certain results such as healing or banishing; or, are directed to achieve goals like granting wishes or changing conditions.

For many practitioners of the Craft the neo-Pagan Wiccan Rede and Three Fold Law act as ethical deterrents to spellcraft that controls or manipulates others. There are many different types of spells, from a few simple phrases to complex rituals.

Most practitioners believe that it is more important to individualize spells, adapting them to personal circumstances and desired outcomes, than it is to follow a precise pattern.

Banishing is the magically repelling and warding off of someone or something, typically: negative energies, entities, curses, or spells from a ritual area, home, or person.

Most Pagans and Wiccans use common phrases like "Blessed Be" and "Bright Blessings" when they greet others, when they close a letter or other correspondence, and when they make statements of agreement.

A charm is any magical object, amulet, talisman, fetish, shell, drawing, runic inscription, stone, incantation, or song that has been highly charged with power and consecrated for a specific task such as bringing love, luck, or fertility; or for protecting against misfortune and other threatening influences.

A Chalice is a consecrated goblet or cup, symbolic of the water element, which is used as a magical tool to offer consecrated wine or juice during rituals or ceremonies...Continue on
