With our conceptions of the ancient religions of Ireland, should we credit the Druids with
the introduction 'of Sun worship, Serpent reverence, and the adoration of Idols? Were
they, on the contrary, new corners, arriving subsequent to the establishment of these
various forms of paganism, and merely known a little before the rise of Christianity in
Erin ?

General information: Types of Magick
Posted by: Mysteron on Thursday, March 25, 2004 - 01:39 PM
Magick:
Magick is the method by which a witch can alter the physical aspect
through affecting the spiritual aspect. Magickal workings can be
accomplished through rituals, spell casting, and simple acts of will. There
are several types of magick: dream magick, candle magick, verbal and
non-verbal spell casting are but three methods.
Dream Magick:
Dream magick provides a simple, yet effective method to achieve goals. Prior to going to
sleep for the evening, prepare as if attending a ritual. If possible, arrange for music which
is conducive to concentration and power raising, to be played. In bed, lie down and
concentrate on that action which is desired. Visualize the successful completion of the
desired task. Concentrate and continue to concentrate until sleep comes. While sleeping,
the spell will take form as a dream. Upon awakening, the spell's purpose will have been
filled.
Candle Magick:
Candle magick is similar to dream magick, except the visualization is done via a candle,
and the caster is not required to fall asleep. According to some sort of symbology which
the caster finds meaningful, choose a candle of a colour which pertains to the desired
task. Light the candle and as it is lit, visualize the desired outcome. Stare into the flame
and visualize the successful completion of the desired task. Believe that upon the natural
extinguishing of the candle the spell's effect shall occur. Do not extinguish the flame; it
must burn-out naturally. Like dream magick, candle magick is dependant on strength of
will, visualization and belief.
Verbal Spells:
Spells which are spoken aloud are verbal spells. Sometimes accompanied by music,
somatic gestures, dancing and the use of certain materials and tools, verbal spells are one
of the more popular ways of working magick. When working any type of magick,
symbology which is relevant to the caster is very important. Finally, remember the Rede;
frivolous or harmful magick will have serious repercussions for the caster.
Non-verbal and Somatic Spells:
Adept practitioners of the craft are able to make their will manifest without verbalizing.
If gestures are made, these non-verbal spells are considered somatic. This type of spell
