Whether you are just starting your journey as a witch or you are more seasoned, you more-than-likely have considered what it means to do spell work, even some of your own. When on the internet, you will see everything from your words and your breath are your spells to needing to follow another person's spells from ingredients to words exactly as written. Whatever spell work means to you, you are welcome to use these templates. But, please make them your own. If you don't have a suggested ingredient, use one that works for you. Same goes for wording, talismans, candles, color, etc.
I prefer to believe that spell work is nothing more than tasks that solidify and intensity the caster's intentions thus provides a method that the caster can use to strengthen what the caster's energy is - recreating if needed.
Good luck with your spell work. I wish you success.
