Winston Churchill was well known for saying “Never complain, never explain”, and when it comes to building strength and force in your magical practice, Churchill had the equation right.
People contact us all the time asking how they can cast stronger magic spells. Sometimes they complain that their spells had no effect.
Sometimes the effect was less than expected. And sometimes a spell that didn’t work so well for one person would work very well for another.
So what is the difference?
Sources of strength to cast stronger magic spells
When it comes down to it, a spell is nothing more than a formal intention backed by whatever powers and beings you might invite to help. A spell is the formalization of your own intention…your desire to create a specific effect in the world.
Does a spell have power in itself? Yes. A spell has many sources of power besides your own desire and strength, including:
- higher powers and beings that respond to magic
- the strength of magical practitioners who have used the spell before
- the sound of power, as found in litanies, chants, and drumming
- the strength of any key magic tools used during the spell
- the strength of symbols, which are gateways to real sources of power
- Etc…
But, having said all that, in order to cast stronger magic spells you always have to examine yourself. You are the most powerful driving force of any magical spell. So the question is, how can you increase your own strength so that you can cast stronger magic spells?
Building your own strength to cast strong magic spells
There are many magical rituals that can help you build strength, and almost any positive magical ritual performed CONSISTENTLY will increase your strength. But going back to the Winston Churchill quote “never complain, never explain”, I have to say that this is one of my favorite ways to increase inner strength. Magically, it makes sense. This is why.
never complain
Complaining, as you’ve probably already experienced, puts you in a negative frame of mind. While you may feel better in the moment, while you’re complaining, what you’re really doing is spending focused time manifesting what you don’t want (ie whatever it is you’re complaining about). So stop complaining already.
Actually, kicking the habit of complaining can be almost as hard as quitting smoking or any other addiction. So here are three tips that can help:
1. Even if you complain and complain inside, do everything in your power not to express the complaint on the outside. The outer silence precedes the inner silence.
2. If you really need to blow off steam, take five minutes a day and let it all hang out. Write it down in a journal or call a good friend. So, let’s rip. The rest of the day, don’t complain.
3. To calm internal or external complaints, when you feel the need, tell yourself: “I’ll let myself complain in five minutes.” Five minutes later, tell yourself the same thing. This technique is known to work well for both smokers and complainers.
If you limit complaints for 40 days, you will be surprised how much your inner strength increases, which will have a positive effect not only in terms of casting magic spells, but also in terms of improving your life in general. Well duh, right? But it had to be said.
never explain
This is the part where most magical practitioners lose the most strength. There is always the temptation to “explain” what we are doing and why to other people, for a variety of reasons.
Many of us like to feel like we’re not alone on the journey, so there’s a temptation to explain our magic to friends who aren’t magic practitioners. Other times, we may feel the need to show off or demonstrate our powers, especially when challenged by non-believers.
Whatever the reason, explaining the use of magic goes against one of the main Rules of the Road (the universal laws that govern magical practice). Created by George Dew, these rules are valid whether he believes them or not. The one that applies specifically to the “never explain” clause is this:
“Never use magic for show, pride, or vaingloriousness. Using magic to show off, to prove a point, or from a place of wounded pride usually results in side banding (undesirable side effects) to the operation.” which will bring a very undesirable reaction from the Universe.”
So even if you are very tempted, never explain your magic, don’t. In esoteric practice, there is something called the “hermetic seal”. This seal refers to the practice of keeping certain aspects of your magical practice compartmentalized, away from public view.
While we definitely believe that certain magical rituals should be integrated into daily life, such as the Navajo Way of Beauty, if you wish to increase your strength as a magical practitioner, keep a tight seal around most of your magical practice, especially working. of spells. In other words, if you want to cast stronger magic spells, keep your mouth shut.
I have no idea if Winston Churchill practiced any kind of magic or not, but the guy hit the nail on the head when he said, “Never complain, never explain.” To increase the strength of your magic spells, try to follow this saying for 40 days or so. If you succeed, even in part, you will be both pleased and surprised by the result!
