Magick is so much more than simply casting spells Casting spells is manifesting your desire and once the correct energies are drawn together, it is time to send them off to the Universe for manifestation. This is done through positive visualization. Remember that staying positive is the most important ingredient in all spell casting. We attract what we put out to the Universe, positive or negative.
It can be discouraging and frustrating working by yourself and I have tried to create a space to share knowledge, support and teach other Garden Witches or anyone seeking to learn. Believing is the key to receiving anything we want and once you've done this, then it's time to wait patiently for what you've asked for.

To start off you might want to stock up on a few items that are needed to enhance spells. Keep in mind that the phase of the moon, day of the week and color of the candle you use also enhance your magick. Below is a list of items to keep on hand:
- Different colored ribbon and cloth; use green if wish to attract money or good fortune or pink in love spells
- Draw string bags, the color depends on the spell.being cast.
- Herbs, stir up some herbal magick in the kitchen as well as grow your own.
- Colored candles as well as candle holders. I was taught not to blow out my candles but rather to snuff them out to make the magick stronger. Trust your instincts and use whichever method of extinguishing your candles that feels right.
- Crystals, have a variety on hand. Crystals are very magickal and also have healing properties. I keep a bowl of crystals in my living room and use my intuition and intention to guide me in choosing which crystal to carry or to use when casting a spell.
- Essential oils are not only used for aromatherapy (I use this technique to complement Reiki treatments), I also use essential oils to strengthen my spells and to charge my candles. Cinnamon and pine attract money, rose and grapefruit attract love and rosemary works well in cleansing spells.
