Spell Crafting
General Precepts in Norse Spell Craft

• State the conditions of the spell in such a way that there isn’t a doubt nor room for backfire.
• Compare spell with Norse Myth
• Establishing myth invokes a permanent condition
• Invoke the sisters of fate by analogy and allegory
• Using myth with spells evokes the power of divinity
• Precise calling forth of conditions, no opening for error
• Repeat spell three times, 3 seconds, 3 minutes, 3 hours, 3 days
• Be monotonous  when speaking protection spells with repetition
• Set impossible and redundant tasks on victim, requiring to pass impossible distances, or count uncountable items before being bound, i.e. blooming flowers.
• Use runes, or signs three times
• Use three lady spells, Like: Three ladies from the east, or three ladies across the land
• State spell in third person
• Do not make flowery spells, its an insult to the them
• Use lines like:  Bearing hot and fiery brands
• Speak in present tense
• Also invocation is a kenning representing them coming
• Then action of the ladies or something they possess, which involves them being parallel with the process or goal of the spell
• Need to assume a connection with subtle forces to acknowledge them by starting with three ladies, on the first line of the spell
• 1^st line after declaration of three sisters is the problem
• 2^nd line is the action being done
• 3^rd is outcome being final
• 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th lines are in a conversation between the sisters
• 1^st- Situation or cause
• 2^nd- Change in condition
• 3^rd- Outcome
• Write as actions of each sister
• Recite 1^st line with image of connection of the sisters, see three women with each corresponding color capes running or moving
• Imagine 2^nd line as her action
• 3^rd her finishing it
• The first sister speaks lightly, gives feeling thing will change
• 2^nd louder and with more certainty
• 3^rd declared firm and serious, then fire it
• Mentally link spell your casting to the event
• Equate with imagery on an image that represents opponent  or issue
• When wording spells make sure there isn’t a magical opening that can counter itself
• The main object, theme, in spell must connect with sisters and their actions visualized
• Use the object of spell work. Example- A fire spell, use fire
• As each line is spoken, visualize Norns in the mind doing their actions
• 1^st sister (Issue)-Visualize her as holding the problem
• 2^nd sister (Change)- Visualize her as change
• 3^rd sister (Outcome)-Visualize it final
• Visualize each sister as a script, fulfilling their jobs
