if im useing the spells tht i wrote my self i do more free form whilst when i do spells from books that i have bought or some spells i find online like off of spells of magic.com which is pritymuch a free online spellbook where u can find spells and post ur own spells aswell as an online "craft" store (as in witchcraft) then ill plain it out therally but generally both work equally and extreamly well
Great video! One thing I learned (through reading and my own personal experience) with power words. I found that the more intensity or "emotion" or energy you put into actually saying the words can affect a lot. And try to speak in a way that almost vibrates through your whole body. Kind of the same intensity you have when Dad gets home from work and sees your report card, lol. But, as Pixie has been drilling into our heads. It all just depends on you! =.)
@Bastet674 really and truly, all you *really* need is your mind. Ask your deity to be present. Imagine yourself surrounded by protective light. Just sit & chill (ground and center), meditate without thinking of anything. Then you imagine what you want, really see yourself having it & feeling the happiness in having it, and say "I want ___" and be specific. Say it 3x and continue to see yourself having this item. Thank your deity, and go about your day. You can do this 1x a day.
@Bastet674 I would say do this 1 x a day for at least week, to keep your goal in mind, or do it until your goal (item) is met.
That's all one *really* needs, is your imagination, your intent, and your determination. If you really want it bad enough, the universe will help you attain it. Even if it's a personal quality like patience, a job, a car, a boyfriend, anything.
To be specific on your desire, describe in detail what you want - and don't say what you DON'T want. Only the wanted bits.
Once again, an awesome video! I agree, i have had so much more success with freeform. I don't know if it is intuiton calling me to do it, or just idk lol. But it always works out so much better, I have never had even half the amount of success with planned spells.
i want to make a spell to help me be anything i wanna be..... could you make a video on how to make a spell symbols you'll need and any other things you might need like spell stars or what not
Free formed. BUT I find that if I do magic and then go back to find out about what phase of the moon, types of spells you "should" do etc etc etc that I am more in line naturally then I would even think. this is probably the same for everyone and is reassuring. I feel that we must trust our intuition - it is to be trusted. :)
As to your planned spells, which planetary hours/days were you working with? Some people work better with one planetary energy than with others (I think it has a lot to do with out birth charts) so maybe that's why some of your planned ones fell flat. I actually work really well with the planetary hours/days, but I still do stuff on the fly as well. To each their own, but I always insist that every witch should know how to improvise.
Free Form spells always worked nicely for me, as long as I feel it is the right time to do that particular spell, it has been a success. Though when it comes to spells to bring change, I usually do those at the new moon and for protection and other things I do at the full moon.
well.. I did a spell to bring good luck prosperity and to bring money i used 4 green candles and rubbed them with olive oil mixed with mint andddd in the beginning i believed in the spell and didnt see much results but... after i had my doubts and suddenly i just believed in the spell because i was thinking the longer it takes to manifest the more powerful it'll be. Next thing i know a few days later my phone was running off the hook almost every place I applied at i got an interview ;D

The example I want to give you is ... you need not worry about free will. What you produce in feeling will always side with free will because of the respect and love in your heart. An it harm none, do thou wilt is already written in your soul.
I am born with magic. No lie. I am looking to connect with other practitioners of magic. But God told me that I was born of love and nothing but love. So I just want to reach out to you and help you through your frustrations.
My words of power are simply where I attach my emotions from my heart to a certain word. Also all words within my vocabulary I can feel the emotional energy locked to those words. I love your direction and implementation Charming, but just make sure please to side the practical purposes and skill of the magic with the emotion. Because in what you're saying it sounds like you're spouting out code. Remember to feel your way through it as well :)
@babygirl10201999 No, saying "So Mote It Be" is more of a personal choice. I use it in some of my spells, some I don't. It just kinda depends :P But "So Mote It Be" is kinda like a Christian saying "amen."
I've had success with both but more so free forum than structured. I totally understand where you are coming from with the ripple effect/affect. 3 test I took a while back two of them I passed with flying colors cause the words of power felt right for me and the the the other test I flunked cause the words of power didn't seem right to me plus my heart wasn't in it at the time.
i have gone through ypur nice videos..sounds good but tell me is there any spell to become a rich person say millionaire...through these magical means....(panchal from india )
I don't plan it, I just do it. Somehow the planned stuff never seems to work as well as the spontaneous unplanned stuff, which is strange. Probably because we put too much thought into the planned one instead of using our direct connection to the universe and our intuition.

I just finished watching your words of power video and I just think your allsome, the bomb diggy and the whole nine. I have one question about timing. what if you can't wait for that specific day or you can't work at night becuse there is no privacy at home and its too cold to be going outside trying to cast a circle or light a little candle?
Hi Flora, I'm new to the Pagan path and am just finding your videos for the first time. I wanted to tell you how inspired I am and how much I'm learning by watching them. This video really resonated with me and I'm so grateful that you provided information on the books. I went to B&N yesterday and found 'Everyday Magic'. It was just what I've been looking for . . . I feel like it was written just for me! :-} So a great BIG thank you and Blessed Be!
I recently discovered your videos and really like them very much. I sometimes get a little lost though when you go off your subject. I dont mean this in a negative way, only suggesting you make a few notes to stay focused. Your videos are very helpful and to a person looking for insight, it may get confusing. Please keep making your videos they are wonderful!!!!
my boyfriend i a wiccan and i am baptist. is it hard to convert to wicca? i never felt comfertable being baptist and my pastor said i am the light and my boyfriend is in the dark. i see nothing wrong with him.
@rookie671 dont worry u dont have to convert to wicca for him, and he shouldnt want u too, in wicca we believe that everyone has there own path to the divine and if yr path is baptist then stick with it
I'm just starting out on my path (which I'm still working on piecing together), so I don't really know traditional stuff. If I need some kind of spell for something or other, I usually just look it up on the internet, take that, and mold it to what feels right for me. But other than planning ritual for Sabbats (which, I've only done one so far) and Esbats, I usually just pay attention to the Moon phase and go from there.
for me, free form spells work significantly more than any of the ones i do extensive planning for. to me, its about what the spell means to you and how much power you can manifest with the specific intention, so for me making sure the planets, day, color, insence, etc are just right, draws energy away from the work.
Hon, you just said everything about magic that I've been thinking for years.
Well done, and kudos for putting that explanation of magic out to the world in those words.
Yes, magic is SO like cooking - I often compare rootwork to making gumbo - everyone generally uses the same base ingredients, but everyone's got their own variation, and that's what makes it magical!
Also - my style is definitely free form. I find that any style of spells that require you to wait until the next thursday when the moon is gibbous and the wart on your backside is pointing upwards..... etc.... just causes any spell to lose all its energy.
Improvised spells, healings & ceremonies work best. period. :P
my friend suggested you to me and I have to say, you've been such a help. your elemental spell video really help me. :) thanks so much.
with words of power, are you referring to a phrase we would use typically in every spell, or words suited for one particular spell at a time?
and for me, free form is so much easier. magic shouldn't have to be so strict and rigid that one needs to keep to a certain day or phase of the moon to perform their spell. but hey, to each his own. :)
I love your Videos but cant find the first one you did? I basically taught my self and didn't quite get a lot of stuff , thanks for making it more simple for me,
I am new to the craft, so most of my stuff is free form. I have noticed though, the few ones I've done that were planned haven't worked as well as the free form ones. One of my first practices I did was free form and the spell actually completed a week or two after. It was amazing! Just like you say Flora, whatever rings true to you and that's what free form is to me.
thank you to practice here on Gaia, continues to work in and with your light and continue to choose your words in your everyday, we often repeat the phrase we have just programmed from the outside and that belong to us! Keep up this planet with your words of peace and love! thank you beloved sister
A few times already I do spells and ritual according to what I feel. I then find out later that in my busy schedule I did not realize it was going to be a New or Full Moon and I just happened to perform my rituals on those days. But I've found the free form (and or emotion based) tends to work best.
I've had great success in both planned and free form spells. I find the idea of planned spells highly romantic, but sometimes when it's time to cast the planned spell it lacks the passion of an impromptu spell.
I'm learning to let myself do whatever I feel the urge to do (that keeps with the Harm None law) when it comes to attuning to magic and spirituality. Even if it doesn't make sense to me logically, even if there's no "reason" but to let that energy flow. This is my best magic.
Free-form, for sure. I've had little luck with prepackaged spells, and find that winging it to a certain degree works far better. When I do find something that works, however, I'm likely to keep it in the quiver, so to speak.
i HATE planning spells. I'll plan the incantation (sometimes) and how im gonna do the spell then do it when I feel like it. Otherwise, I just ask what I want without even planning a rhyme! Sometimes I plan stuff on the full moon, but other than that no thanks!
Nice video. I wanted to know is it necessary to do elaborate rituals perfect with it's corrospondances etc. or can it be as simple as stating my intentions and belief?
The power of a spell to ne is the belief in it you have. I don't plan my spells i do them when i have a feeling they need to be done an witchy sense so to speak. the witches of old had to cast in secret I am sure they didn't have time to plan it by the sun/moon day of the week.
I have found with Free Form spells the timing is actually right on. Maybe mroe than you even know. Not just in the timing for yourself being in the "zone" but actually the planets will be in the right place too. I have planned spells although there are times when I can't wait for the timing because it is ready to come out of me and my intuition says the time is NOW!! LOL. I do think that Words of power are great as well.Coming up with a little cuplet that can be used ANY time is a great idea BB.
oh i forgot to mention they usually work pretty well i've had a few take a long time to manifest and some just not very effective but they've all worked to some degree :] blessed be
i've never really done a planned spell the most planning i do is right before or a few hours before i'll think about what i want and what i'll need to do the spell that's it all my works are off the top of my head because i feel if you plan too much it's just not the same as straight from the heart
I was plan my spells. A spell mustn't be taken lightly, because you're dealing with energies that can help as well as harm. I find it better to plan everything and focus so I don't ramble and mix words, etc.
lol weird eh!.. u practice the craft? i find it so interesting.. altho my family are strict catholics lol i dont do it altho would like to give it a try:)
both! because i am strongwilled(basically stubborn) its impossible to not work for me! I connect with cosmic and natural energies easily it doesnt matter if im indoors or out so both work for me! blessed be!
I usually do both with more luck on free form because I'm "scattered brained and a gemini so it kinda worked hand in hand. I write the spells down after i do them lol. It's what works for me. I'm to airy and care free to be tied down by trying to align everything
i use both. For short term self empowerment or improvement i much prefer free form because you need that now not later. For tool empowerment or a long term personal development i much prefer planned executions.Except for meditation which is a daily planned execution which is my drug of choice for lack of better words..lol. Which I find helps make the day so much better!!
I find personally that when I do a Spell, the few that I've done, free form is the most natural. It's good to plan the basic structure, but Magic in my view is the Chaos that we impose on the scientific order; It's free, wild, instinctive. So while it is good to have a basic planned structure, it's also important to follow your instincts... Like you said, find what works for you....
Ha ha! I love the kittie distraction! Thx 4 sharing her with us! LOL Ne way... great video. I understand what you're trying to get across. Books are great guidelines, but... DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT TO US!
I know I should, but I don't worry so much about planet alignment. I feel like there are so many other things to consider that it ends up jsut being too many things. I do sometimes consider the moon phase depending on the spell. In order to counteract any planets that may not be aligned correctly for what I need I use a protection potion and a phrase to protect me from any Universal forces that may interfere.
The more I plan with planets etc...the more it is a flop!!! I only check out the Moon Phase and if it is in Void Of Course...that is all. Everyone is different..find what works best for you and what feels the most natural and powerful.!
I completely plan my spell as far as when, what oils, stones, candles and other props I will use. However, if my full concentration and intention is not focused on, I don't get the results. I totally agree regarding using what you feel is most correct. I'm relatively new to spell work so I do feel most comfortable using spells from books at this point.
I have done both spells ... but i think i have had better results with freeform... but i also have had excellent results with planned... i prefer freeform becuase its spontaneous and more connected to what is going on now. But that's just me.
Remember, folks, the addage-"Make it your's!" It is good to know where the written spells came from, the history, the flavor, yet, if there is that idea to adapt it for you and your situation, your means of speech, your mental picture of what is going on, do it! You can read Shakespeare where the word comes out "yeah", when it should be YEA (yay), no? Try these: Greek-Estai -Es-tie-(it will be); Latin=Esto Perpetua "May it be so forever"; English=So Mote It Be, or So it is spoken, so it is done!
Free form. Most of them have worked, and that's if I just do a prayer, when I say free form. I also believe in visualization, the idea happening, THEN forgetting it, until it takes it's course.
Free form! When I was convalescing from my operation, I was able to walk outside the building for a time. I did a few rituals on the fly, including two full mooners. When you put purpose, or your will behind it, and using what is at hand (shamanist trait), watch and see! Scott Cunningham said his books were GUIDES, not manuals! You are the magick, remember that!
I know! That is why I love his book so much! They are like the ulitmate guide books to how to make your own path. Go with whatever feels right for you!
I think whether it's planned or whether it's spontaneous, the more *self-preparation* I do, the better.
Say, if I'm using a spell gotten out of a book, (which I'm still kind of at that level.) If I just read out the spell, I pretty much know I'm not going to get any results. But if I do a little meditation prior to it, and some grounding and centering, and put *my* intention into it, I have gotten results that way.
i have had prettymuch the same expirience with both planned & freeform. in the moment spells carry with them the intensity of the emotion fueling them, but with the planned ones, the working up of the intent helped out with fueling the outcome. one of my planned spells still amazes me at its success and power! i also believe that if you come to a block using "correct" coorispondence , do and use what you feel is right, because if you don't you will ultimately fail, all you need is to believe it!
I have done both i think planning works better for me because i put a lot of energy into planning my spells however if it is a spell that can not wait they work fine free-form
I tend to have a greater success rate when my spells are free-form and spur of the momemt. Although the few planned spells I've done recently have been amazing. :P
forgot to answer, id like to use planned spells but i find it quite stressful trying to catch the moon in the right place etc, the best spells for me are the ones that make sense to me, but i think corraspondance can freak folk out when they go to use a herb and instead of just using it they feel they need to check its power first
I agree completely, well said. Hmm well my spells are usually very simple, but it is important to think it through as to what each element means and how it is working. I never work from books.
I usually have more success with planned spells because I put alot of preparation and intent into them so much so before hand that I think it helps build the energy of it. I take alot of time to write my own spells and either write my own rituals when I can or re write a ritual and adjust it to fit my working and it seems to work for me.
I don't plan it, But then again I'm a new witch so I'm still learning.
I have something that i say when i light candles and incense for a spell or ritual, something I've made up on my own, something i feel comfortable with. I don't feel comfortable using words created by someone else. I feel the energy is higher when they come from you.
I think the only doubt that I have within myself with spells is "did I do that right?" I know that there is no right or wrong, but it's still something i feel.

I recently discovered your videos and really like them very much. I sometimes get a little lost though when you go off your subject. I dont mean this in a negative way, only suggesting you make a few notes to stay focused. Your videos are very helpful and to a person looking for insight, it may get confusing. Please keep making your videos they are wonderful!!!!

my boyfriend i a wiccan and i am baptist. is it hard to convert to wicca? i never felt comfertable being baptist and my pastor said i am the light and my boyfriend is in the dark. i see nothing wrong with him.

@rookie671 dont worry u dont have to convert to wicca for him, and he shouldnt want u too, in wicca we believe that everyone has there own path to the divine and if yr path is baptist then stick with it

I'm just starting out on my path (which I'm still working on piecing together), so I don't really know traditional stuff. If I need some kind of spell for something or other, I usually just look it up on the internet, take that, and mold it to what feels right for me. But other than planning ritual for Sabbats (which, I've only done one so far) and Esbats, I usually just pay attention to the Moon phase and go from there.

A planned spell needs a more long term and had been long lingering emotions, free form is better for smaller feats or needs.
crazybacon540 1 year ago
for me, free form spells work significantly more than any of the ones i do extensive planning for. to me, its about what the spell means to you and how much power you can manifest with the specific intention, so for me making sure the planets, day, color, insence, etc are just right, draws energy away from the work.

Hon, you just said everything about magic that I've been thinking for years.
Well done, and kudos for putting that explanation of magic out to the world in those words.
Yes, magic is SO like cooking - I often compare rootwork to making gumbo - everyone generally uses the same base ingredients, but everyone's got their own variation, and that's what makes it magical!

Also - my style is definitely free form. I find that any style of spells that require you to wait until the next thursday when the moon is gibbous and the wart on your backside is pointing upwards..... etc.... just causes any spell to lose all its energy.
Improvised spells, healings & ceremonies work best. period. :P
selenethewhitewolf 1 year ago 3
my friend suggested you to me and I have to say, you've been such a help. your elemental spell video really help me. :) thanks so much.
with words of power, are you referring to a phrase we would use typically in every spell, or words suited for one particular spell at a time?
and for me, free form is so much easier. magic shouldn't have to be so strict and rigid that one needs to keep to a certain day or phase of the moon to perform their spell. but hey, to each his own. :)
blessed be

ladysnowstrixx 1 year ago
I am new to the craft, so most of my stuff is free form. I have noticed though, the few ones I've done that were planned haven't worked as well as the free form ones. One of my first practices I did was free form and the spell actually completed a week or two after. It was amazing! Just like you say Flora, whatever rings true to you and that's what free form is to me.

More freeform for me but it's because I tend to go with the energetic "feel" which connects me to my intended outcome.

guitarhero0806 2 years ago
A few times already I do spells and ritual according to what I feel. I then find out later that in my busy schedule I did not realize it was going to be a New or Full Moon and I just happened to perform my rituals on those days. But I've found the free form (and or emotion based) tends to work best.
icshadowiclight 2 years ago
I've had great success in both planned and free form spells. I find the idea of planned spells highly romantic, but sometimes when it's time to cast the planned spell it lacks the passion of an impromptu spell.
I'm learning to let myself do whatever I feel the urge to do (that keeps with the Harm None law) when it comes to attuning to magic and spirituality. Even if it doesn't make sense to me logically, even if there's no "reason" but to let that energy flow. This is my best magic.

lbmose86 2 years ago
Free-form, for sure. I've had little luck with prepackaged spells, and find that winging it to a certain degree works far better. When I do find something that works, however, I'm likely to keep it in the quiver, so to speak.
chaoticadept 2 years ago
i HATE planning spells. I'll plan the incantation (sometimes) and how im gonna do the spell then do it when I feel like it. Otherwise, I just ask what I want without even planning a rhyme! Sometimes I plan stuff on the full moon, but other than that no thanks!

The power of a spell to ne is the belief in it you have. I don't plan my spells i do them when i have a feeling they need to be done an witchy sense so to speak. the witches of old had to cast in secret I am sure they didn't have time to plan it by the sun/moon day of the week.

BaconSoap89 2 years ago
I have found with Free Form spells the timing is actually right on. Maybe mroe than you even know. Not just in the timing for yourself being in the "zone" but actually the planets will be in the right place too. I have planned spells although there are times when I can't wait for the timing because it is ready to come out of me and my intuition says the time is NOW!! LOL. I do think that Words of power are great as well.Coming up with a little cuplet that can be used ANY time is a great idea BB.

i've never really done a planned spell the most planning i do is right before or a few hours before i'll think about what i want and what i'll need to do the spell that's it all my works are off the top of my head because i feel if you plan too much it's just not the same as straight from the heart
bassistoftheyear 2 years ago
I was plan my spells. A spell mustn't be taken lightly, because you're dealing with energies that can help as well as harm. I find it better to plan everything and focus so I don't ramble and mix words, etc.

I usually do both with more luck on free form because I'm "scattered brained and a gemini so it kinda worked hand in hand. I write the spells down after i do them lol. It's what works for me. I'm to airy and care free to be tied down by trying to align everything

i use both. For short term self empowerment or improvement i much prefer free form because you need that now not later. For tool empowerment or a long term personal development i much prefer planned executions.Except for meditation which is a daily planned execution which is my drug of choice for lack of better words..lol. Which I find helps make the day so much better!!
FuleTheFireWithin1 2 years ago
I find personally that when I do a Spell, the few that I've done, free form is the most natural. It's good to plan the basic structure, but Magic in my view is the Chaos that we impose on the scientific order; It's free, wild, instinctive. So while it is good to have a basic planned structure, it's also important to follow your instincts... Like you said, find what works for you....

crazypsychojenn 2 years ago
I know I should, but I don't worry so much about planet alignment. I feel like there are so many other things to consider that it ends up jsut being too many things. I do sometimes consider the moon phase depending on the spell. In order to counteract any planets that may not be aligned correctly for what I need I use a protection potion and a phrase to protect me from any Universal forces that may interfere.
phanie12 2 years ago
The more I plan with planets etc...the more it is a flop!!! I only check out the Moon Phase and if it is in Void Of Course...that is all. Everyone is different..find what works best for you and what feels the most natural and powerful.!

phanie12 2 years ago
I completely plan my spell as far as when, what oils, stones, candles and other props I will use. However, if my full concentration and intention is not focused on, I don't get the results. I totally agree regarding using what you feel is most correct. I'm relatively new to spell work so I do feel most comfortable using spells from books at this point.
phanie12 2 years ago
I have done both spells ... but i think i have had better results with freeform... but i also have had excellent results with planned... i prefer freeform becuase its spontaneous and more connected to what is going on now. But that's just me.
Blessed Be,

RavenMoonclaw333 2 years ago
Remember, folks, the addage-"Make it your's!" It is good to know where the written spells came from, the history, the flavor, yet, if there is that idea to adapt it for you and your situation, your means of speech, your mental picture of what is going on, do it! You can read Shakespeare where the word comes out "yeah", when it should be YEA (yay), no? Try these: Greek-Estai -Es-tie-(it will be); Latin=Esto Perpetua "May it be so forever"; English=So Mote It Be, or So it is spoken, so it is done!

Free form. Most of them have worked, and that's if I just do a prayer, when I say free form. I also believe in visualization, the idea happening, THEN forgetting it, until it takes it's course.
MidnightPixel 2 years ago
Free form! When I was convalescing from my operation, I was able to walk outside the building for a time. I did a few rituals on the fly, including two full mooners. When you put purpose, or your will behind it, and using what is at hand (shamanist trait), watch and see! Scott Cunningham said his books were GUIDES, not manuals! You are the magick, remember that!
SFsc616171 2 years ago
I know! That is why I love his book so much! They are like the ulitmate guide books to how to make your own path. Go with whatever feels right for you!
CharmingPixieFlora 2 years ago
I think whether it's planned or whether it's spontaneous, the more *self-preparation* I do, the better.
Say, if I'm using a spell gotten out of a book, (which I'm still kind of at that level.) If I just read out the spell, I pretty much know I'm not going to get any results. But if I do a little meditation prior to it, and some grounding and centering, and put *my* intention into it, I have gotten results that way.
TheAgentChaos 2 years ago
i have had prettymuch the same expirience with both planned & freeform. in the moment spells carry with them the intensity of the emotion fueling them, but with the planned ones, the working up of the intent helped out with fueling the outcome. one of my planned spells still amazes me at its success and power! i also believe that if you come to a block using "correct" coorispondence , do and use what you feel is right, because if you don't you will ultimately fail, all you need is to believe it!

I usually have more success with planned spells because I put alot of preparation and intent into them so much so before hand that I think it helps build the energy of it. I take alot of time to write my own spells and either write my own rituals when I can or re write a ritual and adjust it to fit my working and it seems to work for me.

I don't plan it, But then again I'm a new witch so I'm still learning.
I have something that i say when i light candles and incense for a spell or ritual, something I've made up on my own, something i feel comfortable with. I don't feel comfortable using words created by someone else. I feel the energy is higher when they come from you.
I think the only doubt that I have within myself with spells is "did I do that right?" I know that there is no right or wrong, but it's still something i feel.
