Sharing more than thirty practices and projects, Ember Grant teaches you how to manifest your goals through written and spoken magic. Discover the magic inherent in choosing what to write with and what to write on including and beyond paper such as wood, fabric, glass, clay, leaves, and even your body. Learn how to craft spells and incantations, use rhyme and rhythm in chants and poems, and unleash the power of sacred sounds. In addition to topics like numerology, taboo words, codes, and magical alphabets, Ember also covers how to make your own spells and rituals. From historical examples to hands-on exercises, this book offers resources for witches of all skill levels.
