Participants or members in the religion of Wicca, are often misunderstood by outsiders. Those who are misinformed about this ancient pagan practice believe that active witches practice unwholesome deeds or even black magick, however this is not the case at all. While spell casting is a large part of the religion, it is primarily white magick that is practiced. This magick is quite acceptable as it seeks to enhance the life of the caster without harming others. White magick is an every day part of Wicca culture and tradition as are rituals celebrating the earth and the seasons. To understand white magick is it is important to first understand the meaning of the term. White magick simply refers to the idea that the magick spells associated with it are meant to improve the life of the person casting or those the magick spell is cast for within the laws of nature and never with the intention of causing harm to others. White magick is a relatively new term that first appeared in the late nineteenth century. Prior to this, all witches were thought to practice black magick. Much later in history it became recognized across the globe that not all of those who call themselves witches could be considered malevolent. In fact, the opposite is true and most true Wicca’s do not engage in any form of black or dark magick. Most white magick is learned over a period of time and involves a strong foundation in pagan worship and study of the power of the Earth and nature. The moon, sun and seasons play a major role in when and where spells are cast and how they are employed. The use of herbs, candles, crystals, oils, stones, wands and other elements may or may not be involved with magick and magick spell casting in this regard.

Makgick spells themselves are very intriguing and are often handed down from generation to generation within a family or coven. They may also be “created” by sole practitioner witches by trial and error. The place where spells are written down and passed on through covens or generations or kept for private use is referred to as a Book of Shadows. Magick spells are simply recipes for having the casters “Will” or desire come to fruition. While many believe that this requires a great amount of skill and practice other schools of thought believe that there are those who are natural witches and need only tap into their reserves of ability to be able to cast magick spells. White magick is always highly preferable over black magick for many reasons. White magick brings positive forces into action and brings good experiences back to the one casting the magick spell. On the other hand, seeking to hurt others for revenge, personal gain or pure malevolence will also bring these energies back to the caster of the magick spell. Some people refer to this as Karma, but Wicca’s call it the Law of Threefold Return; what ever one does to another which is intended to harm or to bring personal gain by causing harm will come back to that person three times over.

As with all things mysterious, there is much disagreement and dispute as to whether white magick and magick spells are something tangible and real or if they are something conjured up by primitive people to thwart odd events in nature and life. Whether magick is real and something that can be learned like riding a bike or playing a musical instrument is entirely up to the individual’s beliefs and thoughts. Faith in any religion requires devote study and deep understanding of the meaning behind it. If one practices Wicca simply for the spell casting benefits involved but they do not really understand the concept of paganism and worship of the Goddess (Mother Earth) then it really is rather pointless for them to pursue such an endeavor. Practicing Wicca in this manner will greatly limit their ability as spell casters anyway and they will soon grow frustrated and give up.

There are many valuable resources on the internet and in the library and book stores on the subject of white magick, magick spells and the Wicca religion. It is entertaining reading and the history of the topic alone is enough to make it a worth while endeavor to research and read about. In any case magick, magick spells and the possibilities it unfolds to the imagination are very enticing, even to skeptics. Some people are of the opinion that believing in magick is no different than believing in any other thing that cannot be seen or proved. Multitudes of people believe in the power of talisman and protective items. They wear them in the form of jewelry like the Italian horn, Greek evil eye charms, crosses, religious metals and the like. It could be argued that those who wear or carry these items believe in the magick or protection they provide, in this regard they are not so different from believing in any other kind of magick or divination.

While many people prefer their magick in the form of talisman or good luck charms, still others rely on crystals, rocks, stones and gems to bring them good luck and good fortune. This in itself is a form of belief in magick as it puts belief in something unknown. Many people have found Mustika pearls or stones to be helpful as use for talisman or to bring magickal elements into their lives. These items are very interesting and are said to have many virtues and properties that people find helpful and beneficial. They are similar to crystals and other items considered magickal and mystical. Again, whether these types of items hold any magickal power that can enhance your life and improve it, is for you and you alone to decide.
