much maligned spiritual tradition, many witches are very private about their beliefs. In fact, most will not reveal themselves to be witches.
Whether you go on to join a coven, or merely incorporate magic into your life on a private level, you too can start to weave spells into your life in order to transform your day to day reality.
Many novices start out by practicing what I like to describe as practical magic spells that can be incorporated into your life without requiring much effort or time.
Here are two good everyday spells to add to your spell book.
1) Protection charm
If you are concerned about your own well-being, or the well-being of someone dear to you, make sure you (or that other person) carries something blue on the body. By wearing something blue on your person, you will ward off destructive or negative forces.
A good tip for women is to sew blue ribbon into their bras and underwear so that no matter what you are wearing on the outside, you will always have something blue on your body to protect you.
For men, carrying blue beads in your pocket is one way of performing this charm. Although this is a simple charm to carry out, it is extraordinarily effective. I recently gave a blue bead on a string to a male friend of mine who had been unceremoniously dumped by his girlfriend.
He told me that within a day of carrying the bead he had not only gotten over his negative feelings about his girlfriend, but had secured a highly lucrative art deal and was felt he was on a path of rebirth.
He carries his blue bead everywhere as a matter of course now.
2) House charm
