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 the very first step when performing a ritual is to make sure that one would first cleanse his own soul. Now this is done simply because in order for himself to be able to communicate with nature, he has to first make sure that he is clean himself. The different ways to do this would be to fast, to bathe, or to do any other method of cleansing.
Other than cleansing oneself, one also has to make sure that he cleanses the place wherein he will be holding his ritual. He has to remove any unnecessary clutter that can be found in the vicinity. He should vacuum, sweep or mop if he has the time. He also has to keep his things and make sure that the place he is doing is ritual in is bare.
Aside from physically cleaning the area, what other wiccans would do is that they would also clean it spiritually. They do this by using a ritual broom that is also known as a besom which is the broom that most people would associate with witches on television. They would usually sweep the area with the broom to get rid of astral trash that would somehow disrupt the ongoing ritual.
When that is already done, then the next thing to do would be to make the circle. The circle is very important because it is the circle that will be able to harness the energy that one will use in order to cast the spell. Of course he may make a circle made out of pretty much any material.
Now upon the completion of the preparations, one is ready to do the ritual. Now the ritual would involve a lot of spells and incantations. Now these incantations would actually help the practitioners be able to bring their energy in one place to perform a 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.
Now the basic outline of this ritual is actually the same for all the rituals that would be perform. Of course all spells are performed differently depending on what kind of spell is being casted but the outline is pretty much the same. This is the most basic thing that one will learn if he were to study the art of witchcraft.
