Hello, I am a person with a large view of the world. I was wondering if there was a way for my magical power to increase dramatically in a short period of time. I am open to suggestions. Thank you, Michael Corso III

Hello there Michael my dear, Being a witch is about a lot more than simply casting spells or having magical “powers”. It is much like any other system of beliefs in that the trappings and rituals are only small portions of the overall whole. And thus, much like taking the Eucharist does not make you a Catholic, intoning a spell does not make you a witch…. Right now it sounds to me like you may have read one too many harry Potter or Teen Witch books and think it would simply be “cool” to be able to cast “real” spells. Unfortunately, that is not the way this works at all. Becoming a practitioner of the wise craft requires a very real level of commitment and dedication. It is neither a quick, nor easy road to undertake and I would never suggest it to anyone who is going to take it lightly. So, if you think you might be interested in one of the many belief systems associated with being a witch (I personally am a wiccan) then I would suggest rather than trying to jump straight into the ritual, you take the time to do a bit of research and learn a bit about the dogma of the beliefs…. Perhaps look for a bookstore in your local town that caters to such things and go and speak to the people there about their experiences and how they went about finding their faith….
