The Spells, Chants, and Prayers of Gray Witchcraft!


"Learn the ways of the Gray Path,
Learn yourself, learn your craft,
Be awake by seeing clear,
Open your eyes, release your fear!"

"Be careful that your great and wonderous "gut feeling" does not judge too quickly, or you may be a greater hypocrite than any human that has ever walked this planet- you all knowing fool."- Mandrake

Spells, Chants, and Prayers


   These are the chants of Mandrake the Wizard of the Fire, the Sagittarius, and Gray Wizard. These chants may be used and incorporated individually or in group rites, for they are also the chants of the Sacred Circle of the Elements. Whoa unto those that would use them against us, for their own curse shall come upon them swiftly and without mercy! May those that bless us be blessed, and those that curse us be cursed, according to their own blessings and curses. For equal return is the Way of the Gray Wizard/Witch, and so it shall be upon our friends and enemies- equal in all ways.
   The Gray magician chooses NOT enemies, but still, in this world, some will choose us- and so may their own enmity come upon them:
