Lesson Review (11-13)

Casting Spells
• Be sure to gather all materials, instructions, chants, and locate a quite place to spellcast before you preform any spell.
  
• Meditation is a great way to get ready for casting a spell as it keeps you relaxed and focused during the performance of the spell or ritual. This may or may not be required. 
  
• It is helpful to read your instructions and any chants ahead of time before casting or preforming any spell or ritual. This will allow you to become more aware of what you will be doing and it may help you memorize it without needing the instructions in front of you.
  
• Be specific on what you want to happen. If you aren't specific enough, the blanks may be filled in for themself or the spell may not work.
  
• Concentrate and allow yourself to put all your concentration onto the spell and nothing else.
