One variation I have found useful and which I actually use often is to write short messages on small pieces of paper and burn them during the smoke stage of the fire spell. The variations on the basic fire spell set up are pretty limitless, as are so many things in magic. This is an optional step because the gift you gave was to light the fire in the first place and make contact with the powers that be they appreciate your sincere attention more than anything, and a meaningful, "Thank you for listening" at the end or words to that effect is quite enough to seal the spell. If you wanted to, you could add an offering to the powers that be as a sign of respect and gratitude, such as burning some special herbs such as tobacco some people like to burn a bank note but I'm really not in favour of that, personally some people add a gift of a few drops of rose oil, frankincense or even liquor for the offering. When things come from the heart, and in the moment, that's the most powerful state for magic there is. I prefer if you would let words simply come to you as you were looking into the flames and thinking about what it was that you wanted. Send to me the blessings of joy, of happiness, and of love. Hear my call and hear my voice, hear my prayer: Hear me, wise ones, old ones, those who dwell above It is at that point you add the herbs, and it is then that the smoke will begin to rise powerfully, and that's when you state your intent or say your prayer. With a small fire in a bowl, the flames will burn out soon enough, and then you have glowing embers. Think about it deeply and let the flames hypnotise you.

Simply light the fire, look into the flames and think about what you want to say to the Gods, or what you would ask of them. If you are a more experienced magician, you can begin to match the wood you burn and the herbs you add for the smoke effect to the purpose of the spell, but actually, for that true primal feel it isn't necessary at all. I would suggest to start with what you can find naturally in your environment, be this out of doors, in your garden, or your local grocery, which often sells different kinds of herbs. We may then also consider to add some herbs to burn - sage, rosemary, bay leaves, lavender, pine needles, leaves from a eucalyptus tree - the choice is really completely endless. Different kinds of wood flavour the smoke differently, and it is fascinating to experiment and learn for yourself how the scents and flavours of different woods affect your mood and visions. I like to collect twigs from certain trees, tiny little pieces which dry quickly and burn easily. There is also merit in opening a window, for how else will the smoke rise to the heavens and carry your prayers, or intent? If you have a smoke detector in the house, it would be a good idea to turn it off before you start.

The fire bowl I use for indoor, table top fire magic at night is no larger than a cereal bowl, made of brass and stands on three legs, which helps to not burn the table. All you need to perform the ancient fire spells is any kind of safe surface, or container it could be anything at all, even a bowl filled with sand, and it doesn't have to be big, or even outdoors. In essence, this is extremely simple, like so many of the really ancient and primal magic rituals are but in practice, and if it is done with the right frame of mind, there is very little that could be more powerful, or more profound. It is a truly extraordinary sensation to tap into this kind of thing, an overwhelming powerfield of the ages that makes magic now, and real, and so very much more than just messing around with a little love spell, now and then. It is true that there is one kind of spell I love the best of all - the really, REALLY old and primal ones.įor how long have human beings made fires, and looked into the flames, watched the smoke ascend to the heavens, and send their prayers, their wishes, hopes and dreams to rise and be heard?
