Casting spells is still a central skill of the witches' art, but these now take a form that is almost indistinguishable from other forms of visualization exercises.
The following bondbreaking spell is a typical example:
"To free oneself of an emotional attachment it is important to act out of compassion for both of the "enslaved" souls and not to cast the spell out of self interest".
Cast a circle around yourself either in your mind or with chalk to focus your mental energy and to impress upon the unconscious the unity of all beings.
Begin with an invocation to the Mother Goddess in words of your own choosing asking for assistance in loosening the bonds and releasing both parties with a blessing that may find what is right for them.
This should be said three times.
Now visualize the other person with strands running from the key centres of their body to yours and imagine them breaking as you say:
"Head to head we break the thread we are free and we are blessed".
Repeat the verse, substituting the names of each of the vital energy centres (the throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral centre and base) as you envisage the bonds breaking.
Finally, see the other person surronded in light and wish them well on their journey through life.
