About the Bible

The Bible is a collection of ancient religious texts written over many centuries. It consists of the old and new testaments. The old testament starts at the creation and ends with stories about Jewish kings and prophets. The new testament starts with the story of Jesus the Messiah and ends with Revelations.

In the beginning, the Bible did not have chapters or verses. It was not until the beginning of the Renaissance that the books were divided into chapters and verses. This was to make it easier to find specific Bible ages. Nowadays, Bible verses are named using the following method: [Name of the book] [chapter]:[verse].

Example:  Matthew 5:6.

About Spells and Spell writing

The definition of a spell according to Witchipedia is this: “a spell is focusing energy to achieve a goal.”

Writing a spell is not as difficult as you think. If you are new to witchcraft you might feel unqualified to write a spell. A lot of people think of magick as chemistry. You need a ton of background knowledge and you have to follow a set of rules very meticulously in order for your potion to have the desired effect and not blow up in your face. Luckily that is not how magick works and every single witch is qualified to write their own spells. Of course you are going to need some basic knowledge of magickal tools and correspondences. We do not recommend going into this completely clueless.

With this challenge, we hope that all you Christian Witches and Hatchlings from the Bible belt will be able to incorporate your intentions of self-love, happiness, and positivity into your lives!

❖ ── ✦ ──『✙』── ✦ ── ❖

Directions

1. With your intent in mind open up your Bible and find a verse that matches. Or if you don’t have a clear intent find a verse that speaks to you and base your intent on it. (If you are completely clueless on where to look we recommend the books Proverbs and Psalms)

2. Pick out the magickal tools and/or ingredients that match your verse and intent.

3. Be creative. Make the spell as complex or as simple as you want!

4.  Write the directions for your spell. These should be clear and easy to follow while also providing enough information. For example, ‘Visualize your intent while lighting your candle.’ instead of just ‘Light your candle.’.

5. Make a blogpost for this challenge and use the hashtag #BSC
