There are 3 key components to a successful spell, and usually it's the first two of these that cause a beginning witch to have a fizzled spell:
1. FOCUSING YOUR WILL
You have to have your will focused on the outcome of what you want. There are no doubts involved. You must believe this WILL happen. There's no "I want", "I wish", "I hope", or "It would be really nice if" involved - it simply WILL happen. That's all there is to it. If you have any doubts about what you're doing, this is where they'll surface.
2. VISUALIZE YOUR OUTCOME
Being able to visualize the outcome you're working towards in detail is essential. It's like having a concrete goal that you can aim for. Instead of saying "I want to live in a cabin in the woods", be able to actually "picture" that cabin in the woods. It's not good enough to have this fuzzy idea of yourself "being wealthy one day". You really need to be able to identify what "being wealthy" means to you, and how your life would look if you "were" wealthy (or whatever your spell entails). It's important to realize that we're working with energy here - and as any electrician will tell you, energy always takes the path of least resistance. For instance, unfocused, "wealth" could come to you through an inheritance from the death of a loved one. Definitely not something you want to happen.
3. FOCUSING THE INTENT OF YOUR SPELL DURING THE CORRECT PHASE OF THE MOON (waxing or waning).
The phase the moon is in will determine the perspective your spell takes. For example, do you want to gain wealth or do you want to banish poverty? Do you want to stop smoking or live smoke-free? They both have the same aim, but a different approach.
For more on this, see my post about Working spells and potions with moon phases.
I can hear you thinking now, "But what about candles? Incense? Crystals and all that other stuff?"
Those things are not necessary. They help, most definitely, and are great if you can get them - but they aren't necessary. Most of these "spell ingredients" are simply physical objects that help you to focus your will and intent, or to symbolize some part of the spell or someone involved in the spell (usually yourself).
I've explained the moon phases in more detail, and I'll be explaining the first two in more detail in upcoming posts. Just look for the "spells for beginners" tag.
Blessed Be!
