"There are more things, Lucilius, that frighten us than injure us, and we suffer more in imagination than in reality."

-Seneca, Epistulae ad Lucilium



Conjuration/Spell Craft

In sympathetic magic, the most important thing is working when the moon is right for your specific intention. To attract a certain condition into your life, (i.e.: love), work when the moon is waxing. To rid yourself of a certain condition such as an illness, or hex-breaking, work when the moon is waning. To have your wishes granted, or to give thanks when the moon is full.

Italian witches also know that prevention is the best protection. Be cautious with your hair and nail clippings. Make sure to always take possession of them after a haircut, manicure and or pedicure and then burn them. If your enemy should ever get a hold of them, they can cast evil upon you.

If you wish your hair to grow luxuriant and your nails to grow strong and longer, trim the ends during the waxing moon.


Days of the Week To Cast Spells


Sunday is ruled by the Sun: this is the day I

normally choose to cast spells or perform rituals related

to success, ambition, career, healing.



Monday is ruled by the Moon: cast spells for

psychic powers, clairvoyance, home, childbirth and

feminine aspects.



Tuesday is ruled by Mars: this is the day to cast

spells for courage and inner strength, men, sexual energy

war. Note: that if it is sex you are seeking, and not

necessarily love, this is the day to perform your ritual.

However I must remind you...

"be careful what you wish for, for you might get it".



Wednesday is ruled by Mercury. On this day

I work on communication, education, creativity, travel,

mental agility, writing, art...etc.



Thursday is ruled by Jupiter. Cast spells for

wealth and expansion, political power, law business,

and insurance matters.



Friday is ruled by Venus. Here it is, my favorite day

to cast spells or perform rituals! On Friday work on: love,

beauty, and celebrate nature.



Saturday is ruled by Saturn. This day is reserved for

spells/rituals related to challenges that we meet in life to learn about ourselves. It's also a good day for

working on property, inheritance and agriculture.
