The written word - is there power to it. Yes! The written word has shaped the world,
it tells history (and usually from the view point of the winner) and it can be Magick!
Outside of yourself, you most important tool is your Book of Shadows. It has in it
you spells and rituals and other important information for your use.
We have already talked about Theban and if you have read this weeks lesson you have
read about several other Magickal alphabets. Why use one in writing a spell - it
makes you think - it puts more of you into the spell. Some things you should have
are a quill pen and parchment paper. If you can't find a quill pen you can make one
out of any large wing feather - chicken, goose, duck or other bird. You can find
them around lakes where ducks gather or in a hen house. We have open range chickens
where we live and we are always being left nice feathers. There may be a time you
feel you must write out the spell a certain way, even if its in English. I did one
where I wrote it on parchment with a quill pen and the help of a kitten. Quill pens
are what Ink blotters were made for and a kitten can walk across a page just written
and unblottered and add nice paw prints. At the end of the spell the parchment was
burned. (If you have trouble finding parchment look in a food store).
