The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

When you truely take the power of Witch training into your being & strive to do the best that you can regardless of the situation, the 13 powers of the universe are bestowed upon you. These are either transferred to you through a religious ceremony by those who have been gifted before you, or they can come about at their own pace as you grow learn on your own. If a power is abused, it is thought that the gift is taken from you, either for a period of time or permanently. The powers speak of blessings that you can give to others or use for yourself to enhance your own life as well as the lives of those around you.

The 13 Powers of a Witch

13 powers do the Witches claim
Their right of lineage by (name of deity(s)) name
Tie a knot & say the words
Or hand on head--the blessing conferred.
A Witch can give success in love
Curse or bless through God/dess above
Speak to beasts & spirits alike
Command the weather; cast out a blight.
Read the heavens & stars of the night
Divine the future & give good advice.
Conjure treasure & bring fortune to bear
Heal the sick & kill dispair.

This poem can be said as a blessing when goving something to another, and can be included in any spell by adding:

This is my birthright to have & to share
Blessings upon you, (person's name), may the spirits be fair.
