Let's Talk About: Writing About Witchcraft

When writing stories that feature magic and witchcraft, it’s nice because you can make magic your own, within your own fictional world… but also be aware of the history of magic and witchcraft, so you can intersect your magic with reality. To me, this makes it a little more believable.

Spell Casting [x]

Spells traditionally were cast by many methods, such as by the inscription of runes or sigils on an object to give it magical powers; by the immolation or binding of a wax or clay image (poppet) of a person to affect him or her magically; by the recitation of incantations; by the performance of physical rituals; by the employment of magical herbs as amulets or potions; by gazing at mirrors, swords or other specula (scrying) for purposes of divination; and by many other means.

Necromancy [x] Strictly speaking, “necromancy" is the practice of conjuring the spirits of the dead for divination or prophecy – although the term has also been applied to raising the dead for other purposes.
