Magick comes from all over the globe. There is not a culture or people that did not at one time possess a magickal tradition. And many cultures still have an active magickal element. Casting a spell come in virtually an unlimited number of forms. Some spells have words spoken; others may be thoughts. Some use potions; others use candles; others again may involve botanicals. There are many ways to cast a spell. And all are as equally effective based on one core component.... Your belief in the power of magick. Your belief in what you are doing - that it can, and will work. It is about what your goals are, and what your intent is. Also it is important that you pick spells that feel uniquely right for you. This will heighten their effectiveness. If you are not drawn to chanting, or working with botanicals or..... find a spell that works for you.
