Today I am going a little outside the box to discuss our first component, because I feel it is something that needs to be said, known, understood, and believed. There is one component in witchcraft that can make or break your wish, spell, ritual, direction, and the desire behind the spell. This one force is intent.
Defined and by law, Intent is the state of mind necessary to direct one's actions toward a specific goal.
With nothing more than words: a chant, a prayer, a wish... We can send our intent into the universe. We don't need spells, crystals, candles, herbs to cast intent. These other components can be used to direct and strengthen, but our real magic is our intent. It is the strength of our convictions. in our belief of what we do. This is why we can use various components to achieve the same goal. This is why we can use clear quartz in place of another crystal or a white candle in place of one of a missing color. Because they are general enough to hold any intent we place upon them.
So simply put: YOU DO YOU... carefully, please.
Disclaimer: This is my generalized take on it. I'm not a dictionary. I accept that your views may be different than mine, thus, I'm giving broad definitions, based in researched fact.
