Welcome to the Spiritual Spells web site of Coven Kyklos, a Traditional Wiccan Coven.

We welcome all our sisters and brothers who are fellow travelers here on Gaia, no matter what their tradition or lineage. On this web site you will find information and knowledge to help you begin on, or continue to walk, the magick path of balance and power.

Through our web site Spiritual Spells, we are able to help extend this spirit of unity, exploration, and teaching out across the virtual world to all our sisters and brothers on Gaia. We will teach you a variety of our Coven's favorite free magick spells, including love, money spells, and protection spells, free house cleansing rituals and spiritual bath rites, how to make your own lucky mojo bags, plus authentic and traditional Witchcraft information on how to use magical herbs.
To support our Coven's Wiccan and magickal outreach mission, and this web site, we offer for sale a wide variety of exquisitely hand-made hand-made ritual anointing oils, hand-formulated incense powders, and herbal formula spiritual bath crystals and salts from the great folks at the Lucky Mojo Curio Company in Forestville, California.


The Goddess blessed our circle when She guided us to the pagan-friendly people at the Lucky Mojo Curio Company. where the proprietor and her students hand-craft Ritual Oils and Loose Powder Incenses according to traditional American Hoodoo and Conjure recipes of the South. These elder Conjure workers follow the traditional Hoodoo path, but through their occult shop and their affiliate Herb Magic herb shop site, they also provide authentic spiritual supplies and ritual goods to people of many cultures and magickal lineages, along with instructions on how to practice their own particular traditional craft of magick. The folks at Lucky Mojo really do conduct their business in an earth-friendly way and our affiliation with them has helped us provide ourselves and you with beautiful and authentic spiritual supplies for use in pagan and craft-friendly magick. Guided by the Goddess, Hoodoo has affected our circle deeply and enriched our magicakal understanding, but we remain Goddess-centered and Wiccan in our path, hence we have created Spiritual Spells as a teaching tool that utilizes Lucky Mojo hand-made products according to our own best practices.

This site is here solely to guide, inform, and aid our fellow spiritual seekers, pagan companions, and our sisters and brothers from other magickal traditions, as well as to encourage networking with others in the ever growing Witchcraft community. What you read and learn here is freely offered to all.


Who We Are
In 1993 Coven Kyklos was formed by two of the original elders of our Coven over many late night discussions, drinks, and diatribes. The Coven was started as an alternative to what was then seen as a disturbing isolationist and separatist spirit in the Pagan community. The word Kyklos had three meanings to the Greeks: It meant a political cycle of governments in a society, it meant the rise and fall of old ways and their transformation to new ways, and it also meant a cycle or circle. Our Coven adopted this name because of the triune meaning and to represent the new and fresh rising path our elders wished to start.
As an Eclectic branch of the Craft of the Wise, Coven Kyklos does not seek Coven mates or students on the internet. We prefer to join with and teach students in person. We see the virtual world of the internet as one of the many stepping stones that helps pass spell-casting and magickal information and companionship across the Interwyrd to all people on Gaia.


Our Coven-mates and friends come from many different magical paths and traditions and it is our goal to embrace all paths and traditions without pre-judgment or appropriation. We seek to apply what calls to us for our own growth and pathwalking without change or reinterpretation of our sisters' and brothers' ways as a sign of dignity, respect, and honor -- remembering that it is not we alone who have been hunted, cast out and robbed from but that it is we -- together-- who can heal the Earth.

Let us all walk together in beauty.


We leave you now with a few thoughts from one of the Elders of Coven Kyklos:


Being a Witch
I am a Witch. I am seen in many forms, I am a young maid, a loving but firm mother, an old hag, an Appalachian granny, a Hoodoo mama, a priestess of old Gods and Goddesses, a battle sister for the earth, a coiling Shakti snake – I am a Witch. My worship is communing with the Divine through Nature. I try to grow vegetables and herbs in the earth so that I might use the healing powers that exist within Nature to help myself and others.

I am a Witch. I perform my rituals in Sacred places that I create or that already exist indoors and outdoors. The four Watchtowers with the Elemental Powers and their Guardians are forever with me to aid and guard me. I eternally stand in the Crossroads between the Cosmos above, the Planet below, and the Spiritual within. I am whole within the Universe.

I am a Witch. I journey in meditations, rituals, and dreams. I use hallowed and consecrated tools to aid me on my magickal journeys. These include cauldrons, crystals, candles, incense, ritual oils, water, salt, soil, feathers, bells, brooms, rattles, drums, wands, staffs, blades, mirrors, Tarot cards, and Rune stones. My spirit travels throughout Time and Space; and I return from my journeys with insight, knowledge, and power. I go between the three worlds to heal, grow, and transform. Empathy, compassion, understanding, and mercy are natural, not supernatural, and they are a part of my daily life.

I am a Witch. I follow the Seasons and the Elements and the Circle of Life. I endeavor to keep all parts of my Self healthy and balanced. I work to restore balance in my environment and in Nature. I hear the anguish of Mother Earth, saddened with the damage being done to Nature by humankind. I am alarmed by pollution and destruction of the Air, the Earth, and the Waters. I am dismayed by the Spiritual pollution of hatred, greed, bigotry, intolerance, racism, addiction, violence ,and despair. I work and conjure each and every day to restore balance, peace and harmony in the lives of others and the Planet. I try my best to live each day in harmony with others and with Nature.

I am a Witch.
