Commitment Spell

It seems that an appropriate way to start this blog would be with a commitment spell. The intent of this spell is to magickally seal a plan or commitment. It's sort of like an oath but a little less serious. With an oath, you're making a promise to a deity. With this spell, the promise is to yourself. Now, I'm not one to fear magick that changes the outer world or even - at times - other people... but the most powerful magick effects change on the self.

Needed for the spell: white candle, quartz crystal, spell box or drawstring bag, paper and pen

First, write or draw a symbol of your commitment on the paper. Fold it carefully around the crystal. Then hold the candle in your hands and strongly visualize yourself fulfilling the promise. (I visualized myself making my 365th spell post. With many readers, of course!) Mentally send the energy of this promise into the candle.

With the candle now charged, put it into a holder and light it. Pick up the paper-wrapped crystal and continue with the mental images. When you feel you've done enough, carefully drip some of the candle wax over the packet to seal it. Let the candle burn down completely to finish the spell. Store the packet in a special box or bag on your altar.
