l
l
Being a tarot reader, rootworker and a teacher o divination and spells (and yes, it is the best job in the world!) I answer questions all day long. But one o my avorite questions is
What is Magic? Yeah, well what is it? I’ll tell you what it is. It’s dancing around in the ethereal realm! It’s riding the magic carpet ride in the outer limits! It’s playing where only the bravest scientists dare to go! You want it in plain speak?
Magic is the ability to take what everyone accepts as unchangeable reality and then bend, shape and shift it to your will. It’s making your lie, and the lives o your loved ones, the very best that they can be. It’s an act o revolution, saying, “I will take ownership o my lie and be the captain o my own ship!” So, i you haven’t done any magic yet, it is high time you got started!
Magic isn’t a religion or a part o any one religion. People o all aiths and even no aith at all have been doing magic since beore recorded history and will continue to do so as long as there are things which can only be controlled energetically. What do I mean by controlling things energetically?
Energies are swirling around us constantly. I you believe that reality is only what can be known through the senses, then I have a shocking revelation or you. Right at this moment, there are radio waves swirling around you. You can’t see them and without a radio turned on, you perceive nothing. But turn on a radio and magic happens; you hear music and talking rom people miles away. I’m going to use that old time metaphor (does anyone listen to a radio anymore?) and tell you that magic is like the radio receiver (and honestly, a radio transmitter too!).
Magic allows us to turn on and tune up or tune down whatever we are wishing or in our lives:
more prosperity
LESS NEGATIVITY More Love
Less Arguing
More Peace Less Struggling …i you desire it, there is sure to be a spell to help you achieve it.
Magic is the act o ocusing your will. Can you do magic without a spell? Absolutely! I you are able to ocus thought and intention toward a goal, you will see a maniestation. However...
Spells help us to ritualize, take ourselves to altered states where focus is easier to achieve. Spells also support our work with energetic allies and tools (and we’ll get to those later — but or now, just know that I mean things like herbs, stones, candles and so on). I you’ve tried maniestation through positive thinking or have even done spells beore, but would like to see stronger results or would like to hone your skills to become a better magician, then this book will spark a whole bunch o great ideas on ways to supercharge your spells and radically and positively change your lie.
l
l In each chapter, I give you a ew bite size chunks o inormation about different ways that you can make your magic even better. At the end o each chapter, I break it down or you with
f o u r w ay s t o i m p l e m e n t e a c h o f t h e s e s e c r e t s — with suggestions or beginning, intermediate, advanced and experienced spell casters:

So, beore we get into Madame Pamita’s Secret Lab o Learning (just twist the candelabra and the bookcase will open or you), I’d like to take a moment to dedicate this book to all the curious seekers, the spiritual explorers, the baby witches, the experienced wizards, the Akashic adventurers and everybody else out in the world who loves to make magic…that’s right,
I’m dedicating this book to YOU! Your curiosity and courage inspire me every day. I hope you have as much un using this book and supercharging your own magical practice as I did writing it. With love and light — Pamita

Oils are Easy! “I’ve never done a spell before!” “But I don’t have the time to do magic!” “I can’t do a spell, because people will see it and judge me!” Sorry, those excuses won’t fly (not even on a broomstick!) and they won’t excuse you rom doing magic to make your lie the best it can be.
You can do magic! Anyone can! No excuses! Just get in there and start doing it! Working with oils is incredibly effective and, guess what, it’s unbelievably easy too! Saying a prayer or intention while applying a spiritual oil to your body surrounds you with a powerul magical vibration. Apply a ew drops o oil in an upward motion (rom oot toward head), i you want to bring something to you. Apply them in a downward motion (rom head toward oot), i you are working to clear away something unwanted.
Make the process oolproo — choose a spiritual oil blend that is specifically ormulated or love, prosperity, luck, protection, spiritual cleansing or whatever it is that you want to achieve magically. Even i you are doing bigger, splashier magical work, applying a magical oil on yoursel beorehand will empower you as a magician.
So, don’t wait, (magically) lubricate! And get those good things sliding toward you aster than ever!
Quick and Easy: Apply a spiritual oil to yoursel with a prayer or intention.
Serious Student: Apply a spiritual oil to yoursel on a daily basis or consistent power.
Advanced Apprentice: Blend more than one spiritual oil together or a unique intention.
Magic Mastery: Blend your own spiritual oil rom essential oils and a carrier oil.
Incense Sets the Mood ( And Then Some ) I you’ve ever walked into an opium den or hung out in a harem (and who o us hasn’t), then you know how incense creates a powerul positive energetic aura throughout a room. Te ancients used incense, because they intuited that
the rising smoke was a way of sending their messages up into the heavens. Beore doing a spell, take a moment to light some incense and
let the powerful energy permeate and charge up the area around your spellworking.
I you’re inviting someone into your home, light some incense or love, prosperity or cleansing and let it subtly but powerully influence them or bless them.
I you’re wanting to get super-authentic with with your incense spellwork, you can burn a resin or a resin incense blend o ver charcoal. Or, i you want to make it easy, you can burn loose incense or incense cones to give your space an amazing vibration attuned with your magical work. I you are sensitive to smoke, you can even make a smokeless incense by getting a small spray bottle, filling it with spring water, and adding 21 drops o a spiritual oil . Shake it and then spray it around the room to imbue your space with the positive energy o that oil. Whenever I think o incense, I think o those old Warner Brothers cartoons where an enticing finger o a smoky scent would come over to the character and transport them into rapture (or, in some cases, salivating hunger).
Harness the superpower of the sense of smell and create that same rapture in the room around you by burning a beautifully fragrant incense.
Quick and Easy: Burn an incense cone.
Serious Student: Burn loose incense or spray a smokeless incense.
Advanced Apprentice: Burn a resin blend over charcoal.
Magic Mastery: Create and burn your own blend o resins and herbs.
Nature is Your Friend Can you pound a nail into a wall with just your hands? Sure, I guess you can, but most people will tell you that a hammer will make the job a heck o a lot easier. And it’s the same with magic — you can do a spell without any magical tools at all, but tools will give an immense boost to your work, making it move aster and stronger.
Some of the best tools are the tried-and-true gifts of nature that people have been using magically since the beginning of time. Herbs, shells, stones and roots all give off certain vibrations and matching the right herbs or curios to your intention can make your magic soar. I you are highly intuitive and connected to the plant spirits, you can ask them what they can do or you , but i you’d like to take a shortcut to finding out their specialties, you can look up the herbs on ParlouroWonders.com. Tere you will see ull descriptions o each herb or curio’s magical purpose and even spell suggestions on how it can be used.
Tere are so many ways that you can invoke the assistance o these natural allies:
Carry them with you IN A mojo bag Scatter them in your environment with a prayer or intention Burn them as incense Sprinkle them around your candles …there are a million ways to partner up with these plant and mineral sidekicks. I like to think o these herbs and curios as gifs o the nature spirits, riends who give our work an energetic surge. So, what are you waiting or? Invite your pals to the magical party!
Quick and Easy: Scatter an herb in ront o your house or around your home.
Serious Student: Sprinkle a pinch o herbs on your spell candles.
Advanced Apprentice: Burn herbs on a charcoal.
Magic Mastery: Craf a mojo bag with herbs and curios.
Focus with a Candle “I am doing this magical spell or… oh, look at that shiny object over there!” Maybe you are one o those people who can set their mind to a task and ocus completely on it until it’s finished. Can I tell you something? I you are, you are amazing! Alas, I will never be that person. I’m the one who walks into the room and says out loud to mysel, “What did I come in here or?” and then picks up the book on the table that I started last week…and then I end up reading Jane Austin or two hours when I was supposed to be finding my keys and getting out the door. Do I lack ocus? You betcha! And that’s why I love, love, love candle spells.
A candle spell is pure focus. You can’t multitask while holding a lit match (my ingers will testi y to that). For some reason, candle spells center and ground the spell caster in a way that other types o spellwork may not. Not only that, but
a candle spell is like a rocket, sending out a powerful intention that extends far out into the universe (just think about how ar and how ast light waves can travel).
You can prepare a simple beeswax taper and dress it in a spiritual oil and herbs, or choose a figural candle that represents the goal o your spell, or dress and bless a vigil candle or choose a pillar candle that is already inused with oils and herbs or your intention. Prepare your candle by placing a petition paper underneath it, carve your intention into the candle, then light the candle and as you do, speak your intention or prayer or what it is that you want. You don’t have to watch the candle burn (though that is a great orm o meditation), just let the candle do its thing. Tat being said,
you should always be somewhat close by and awake when a candle is burning. When you leave the house or go to sleep, snuff it out or pinch it out with moistened fingers (don’t blow it out). When you are able attend to it again, relight it, repeating the intention o what it is that you want.
Quick and Easy: Light a pillar candle that is pre-loaded with oils and herbs.
Serious Student: Burn a vigil candle that has been prepared and blessed.
Advanced Apprentice: Dress a plain taper or a figural candle in oils and herbs.
Magic Mastery: Do a moving candle spell over several days.
If You Want Something, Ask for It Tere is power in words. It’s not or nothing that what we do is called a “spell” — in old English, “spell” meant speaking and
it’s when we speak our intention or desire that we commit to it and to the magic that we are making. I always tell my students that “thoughts create reality,” but speaking that thought commits it into action. Have you ever had a cherished dream that you carried inside o you and then, one day, you took a risk and told someone about it? Te energy behind the speaking took courage and courage means commitment.
If you say it, you are asking the Universe for what you want and putting the wheels into motion.
Tere is more than one way to ask. You can ask out loud with your voice, but you can reinorce that verbal asking out loud by also creating a petition paper.
A petition paper is writing that expresses what you want . Petition papers can get quite magical and elaborate, but even a simple “Prosperity or Me” written on a scrap o paper stuck under a candle or in a wallet can reinorce the spell words that you speak. And, whatever you do, or heaven’s sake don’t take all the time to do a spell, speak your intention, make a petition paper and then undo it all by speaking your doubts or unworthiness o receiving. I you put all the energy into a love spell and then say, “I’m never going to find anyone” to your riend, guess what? You just undid all o your good work.
So speak of your spells and wishes only with loving words of enthusiastic expectation.
Quick and Easy: Speak the words that are in your heart out loud when doing spellwork.
Serious Student: Speak o your wishes to others only in positive ways.
Advanced Apprentice: Write a petition paper stating your wish and place it under your candle or carry it with you.
Magic Mastery: Craf a careully thought out intention or prayer by writing it down beore doing your spellwork so that you include all the details and nuances o your wishes.
If It Is Broke, Fix It! Going back to our hammer analogy, i you’ve ever hit your thumb with a hammer, you know that sometimes our tools don’t work the way we want them to, and the same thing goes or our magical tools. Candle flames get too high, wicks get drowned and flames go out, herbs get musty and moldy…
if it’s a magical tool, there are at least 13 ways it can be uncooperative. Yes, we can take these mishaps as signs, but these are the things that separate the cool headed magicians rom the Chicken Littles worried about the sky alling.
If you see something going wrong, get in there and fix it and make it right! Yes, it may be a sign that that area o your lie needs a little more attention, ocus and effort, but gosh darn it, don’t sit there and bemoan the act that your spell isn’t working, get in there and shape your destiny! I a wick is drowning, pour out some wax. I a flame is too high, trim the wick. I one candle is burning aster than another, snuff one out and let the other one catch up.
Remember, it’s called “making magic” not “watching magic happen to you.”
Quick and Easy: Trow out the tool and start over rom scratch.
Serious Student: rim wicks or pour out excess wax.
Advanced Apprentice: In a multi candle spell, snuff ast burning candles to let slower ones catch up.
Magic Mastery: Replace a bad wick with a new piece o wick to encourage a candle that has hopelessly gone out beore its time.
But Madame Pamita, What If It All Goes Horribly Wrong??!! Let’s ace the acts. Nobody’s perect and
the only spellcaster who can claim that they’ve never had a spell go wrong, is one who isn’t casting spells. We’re human, and in all our imperect gorgeousness, we make mistakes. Candles get blown out instead o snuffed out. Mojo bags get sent through the laundry by accident. We plan to do a seven day spell but orget and skip a day. apers tip over and break in hal. Believe me, it’s happened to the best o us.
When my clients contact me in a panic and ask me what to do or a spell emergency, I tell them what I do: dump the spell and start over again. Get a new candle. ake out the hard artiacts o the mojo bag and make a new one. Start the multi-day spell over rom the beginning with new materials. Yes, there’s the heartbreak o wasted stuff that you put your time, energy and money into, and, i you’re doggedly determined you can finish that Come to Me spell even though your sister came in your room and blew out the candles. You might even get a little positive result despite your boo-boo, but a little positive result is only going to bring a little happiness.
It’s better to chalk it up to a lesson from the best school of all, The University of Experience, and start over again with new vigor, intention and hard-won wisdom.
The good news is that a spell gone wrong is no cause for alarm. A spell where you make a mistake is not going to send your prosperity into the dumpster or make your soul mate hate you. It’s just not going to do anything. Like a firecracker that fizzles, it’s just a dud. No big deal! Light another one and let your fireworks show continue with a bang!
Quick and Easy: ake a deep breath, dump the spell and start over.
Serious Student: ake a deep breath, dump the spell and start over.
Advanced Apprentice: ake a deep breath, dump the spell and start over.
Magic Mastery: ake a deep breath, dump the spell and start over.
