Although many think that the witches and wiccans of legend are already extinct, many of them are still alive today and are still performing spells. Now in order to harness the power of nature, what these people do is that they would perform certain rituals that can summon these powers. All kinds of Wiccan rituals would have a certain outline that they would follow in order to be performed. If one is taking up the art of magick, he will be learning this outline.
Now when one would perform a ritual, he first has to make sure that he purifies himself so that he can become one with nature. This is usually done within one day before the actual ritual so that the body has time to cleanse itself. One can either so this by taking a ritual bath, by fasting, or other methods taught to him by the master.
Of course once the cleansing is already done, then he has to make sure that he clean the place wherein he will do his ritual. So he must remember that there would be no dirt or no clutter in the area. So in order to do this, he has to make sure that he would vacuum the area or sweep the area to make sure that there is no dirt.
Now this would be the physical cleaning but aside from that there would also be the spiritual cleaning as well. Now what most practitioners would do would be that they would use a besom or a ritual broom that would be used to sweep away spiritual dirt. Now this has to be done because this would prevent having any disturbance while the ritual is ongoing.
After the cleaning, the next thing to do would be to create the ritual circle. Now the ritual circle is the circle wherein one would be performing his ritual so that he can protect himself from astral disturbances. Of course the circle can be made of pretty much any type of material.
Once all the preparations are done, then the ritual can be done. Now rituals usually involve incantations as well as chants of certain spells. What these incantations do is that they will help the practitioner channel the energy into the spell in order to perform the spell.
When the spell has already been casted, then the very last thing to do would be to close the circle. In the closing, one will be thanking the gods and the goddesses for the power that was given. This way, the energy will be balanced once again and no stray energy will have a chance to get out of the circle.
So as one can see, the basic design or outline of a wiccan ritual is actually very simple to do. Now there are definitely more complicated spells in the spell book but everything is based on this one design. With this one design or outline, one can actually do a hundred different kinds of spells that can be used for different purposes.
