Spell Crafts
Llewellyn’s Practical Magic
Author: CUNNINGHAM SCOTT & HARRINGTON DAVID
Since early times, crafts have been intimately linked with spirituality. When a woman carefully shaped a water jar from the clay she’d gathered from a river bank, she was performing a spiritual practice. When crafts were used to create objects intended for ritual or that symbolized the Divine, the connection between the craftsperson and divinity grew more intense. Today, handcrafts can still be more than a pastime-they can be rites of power and honor; a religious ritual. After all, hands were our first magical tools.
Take a look at your hands. See them as wondrous vehicles of power. Feel the energy that flows through everything you do. Tap into that power Carve a symbol, dip a candle, mix fragrant herbs, sculpt clay, and make your life all that you want it to be. When crafts are used to create objects intended for ritual or to symbolize the divine, the connection between the craftsperson and divinity grows more intense.
