Types of Magick

There are many types of magick that can be practiced within the realm of witchcraft. The type used is chosen based on many factors, such as the purpose or intent of the magick, for whom it is being done, and the length of time the spell is meant to last.

No one type of magick is more powerful than any other. The effectiveness of magick is driven by the intent and focus of the witch but is ultimately managed and administered by Nature.

• Candles

• Cords
  A type of talisman, cords are made from string, twine, or other ropes and knotted to hold magickal energy. The knots can be undone at a later time to release the energy, or it can be used as a focal point to empower other magick.
• Divination
