Magic spells can be a powerful tool for beginners to tap into their innate magical abilities. Here are a few basic spells that anyone can try: 1. **Protection spell**: This spell is used to create a barrier of protection around yourself or a specific area. To perform this spell, light a white candle and visualize a bright, glowing light surrounding you or the desired area. Repeat a protection incantation, such as "I am safe and protected from all harm" multiple times. 2.
2. **Love spell**: This spell is used to attract love into your life or strengthen an existing relationship. Begin by lighting a pink or red candle and meditating on the qualities you seek in a partner or in your current relationship.
Film Genres: Horror
Halloween III: Season of the Witch was Tommy Lee Wallace ‘s directing debut. I saw it for the first time not long after it left the theaters, and like many other fans I was thoroughly disappointed. When I discovered that John Carpenter’s real plan was an anthology with each years release being a different movie by a different director, I thought “they should have used a different name.” I quickly learned that Martin Harris agreed with me (100). Apparently the name, as well as the deceptive marketing campaign were all the studio’s idea (101-102). I am glad that I got a chance to revisit the movie from a unbiased perspective.
One thing I noticed this time was the amount of homage that was paid to other movies. Of course, there are the many references to the original two Halloween movies; the quiet mannerisms of the automatons, the dark looming “shapes” watching, the predominance of masks, the original film playing on televisions, Dr. Daniel Challis‘s ex-wife is played by Nancy Kyes (the same actress who played Annie Brackett in the first Halloween), and as Harris points out Cochran represents the “embodiment of evil” (104) just as Michael Myers did.
There is also the great connection of Dick Warlock. He played Myers in Halloween II and plays one of the killer robots in Halloween III. I found this great image that shows an amalgamation of both rolls.
The attacking disembodied arm from the Ellie robot plays tribute to Oliver Stone ‘s The Hand (1981), Freddie Francis ‘s Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965), or perhaps Herbert L. Strock ‘s The Crawling Hand (1963). The name of the town and the Ellie robot were both references to Invasion of the Body Snatchers (101).
The deserted motel in Santa Mira, the black lingerie and the old lady in the rocking chair who turns out not to be real all bring to mind Alfred Hitchcock ‘s Psycho.
I love Wallace’s use of various shades of orange and black (the universal colors of Halloween) throughout the movie; the sun setting behind the trick-or-treaters, the glowing flames behind the factory, and even the pumpkin colored goo that emerged from the dead robots. A subtle but beautiful tribute to the holiday that created the franchise.
Write down your desires on a piece of paper and burn it, visualizing the positive energy being released into the universe. 3. **Healing spell**: This spell taps into the energy of the universe to promote physical or emotional healing. Light a blue or green candle and hold it in your hands. Close your eyes and visualize a warm, healing light surrounding the area of your body or the person you wish to heal. Repeat a healing affirmation, such as "I am healed and whole" or "The power of healing flows through me" several times. 4. **Manifestation spell**: This spell is used to attract specific desires or goals into your life. Begin by lighting a yellow or orange candle and focus on the specific thing you want to manifest. Write down your desire on a piece of paper, folding it and placing it under the candle. Visualize yourself already having achieved the desired outcome, feeling the emotions associated with it. Thank the universe for bringing your desire into reality. Remember, the power of spells lies within your own intention and belief. Spellwork is a personal practice, so feel free to modify or personalize these spells to fit your own needs and preferences. With practice, diligence, and a strong belief in your own magic, you can become proficient in casting spells and harnessing your inner power..
