how long does it take to do spells

Merry Meet. There are many kinds of spells. Some spells are short, just a chant or two that may be uttered anywhere and at any time. These spells take less than a minute. Some chants are repeatable and so they can take a short time or a very long time, depending on how many times you repeat the chant. Other spells require preparation and planning. Spells that need herbs and other natural materials may take days so that we can gather the items required for the spell. Sometimes, it is good to take the time to work on a spell because the more attention and time we can give into spell working, the more effective the spell will be. On holidays, practitioners of Wicca spend the entire day cooking delicious cakes and other goodies, buying or making wine, creating wands, candles or an outdoor Altar, etc. Sometimes people spend days just making one item. Holidays are meant to be relished and enjoyed at a slow pace. Sometimes we may have to wait for the new moon or the full moon or a particular day of the week or month or even the year to do the spell. Spells are also more effective when performed at the correct time. Astrological positions are also important . When the planets are aligned in a certain way, sometimes after a long wait, spells are considered to be even more effective. Depending on the intentions and the results desired, we can increase or decrease the length of the spells. The more desperate we are, the more time we are willing to spend on the spell. Hope this helps. Brightest Blessings.
