Advice for writing spells?

General Discussion

So, I’ve been thinking about writing my own spells. Maybe even publishing my own grimoire in the future. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Well, assuming you’re doing it for the sake of sharing knowledge and not just having something published under your own name, I would recommend experimenting with spells, noting the outcomes, chatting with the entities involved, if any, and also having a test group to use and verify the rituals or exercises so you can compare outcomes, and perhaps most importantly, figuring out a system or theme for your book.

If you would like to learn how to write spells, I highly recommend Jason Miller’s book The Elements of Spellcrafting.

Thanks. Also, you’re right about me wanting to share knowledge. And to be fair, if I did publish a grimoire, I’d use my magickal name instead of my real name.

Thanks for the recommendation.
