In Christianity, the ritual of baptism precedes the recognition of that person as a Christian. In Judaism, the Bar Mitzvah ritual allows the person to be recognized as having come of age in that religion. In joining an organization, the applicant may have to pass through an initiation period or process. It is a natural and necessary process for those who want to use spells to bring about changes in the circumstances in their lives. Their right to put forth their desires or wants is earned by them through the ritual process.
Rituals empower one's desires.
The spell which is done to change one mind set for another or to cause the future thing desired thing to manifest itself, is just a spell by itself. However, when a spell is invoked through ritual, it receives authority and earns the right of recognition in the universe of wants and desires. It then becomes a Magick Spell. Copyright 2000 - 2001.
