First. What will I need?
-1 orange
-1 stick, or bark, or some shavings of bark or wood
-Some spices, normal use kitchen ones
-A file, a metal-nail file works fine. (I got mine at a dollar tree, I needed the case for a project I was doing.) If not, you need something else to scrape the pith off the orange. I just used what I had
And of course, some other items. You will need a place to mix these later, a bowl works fine. Another item you will need is a candle, this can be any color but for my example spell I am using white. At the moment, this is the only color of candle that I have a lot of. (I didn't want to, par say, waste a candle of any other color, in case I needed to use it at a later date.)
One of the first things you need to do
Is peel the orange and scrape the pith off of the peels. Separate the two, and set each aside. Next you need a pinch of bark dust, the file works well with this too. As I have mentioned before, you will need some spices. It is rather vague because not every witch has every herb; so what you will need to do is gather your spices/herbs and sniff each one, or feel its energy, and whatever feels right to put in gets put in. (make sure its safe for consumption)
Now that you have your components, pith, peels, and spices, you can now think of what energies you would like to strengthen. I am going to strengthen my being towards my purity works, basically I am going to make my mind and energy more attuned to the specifics. Remember what color candle you use plays a part in this, and as you may only have certain colors, this might restrict you some.
After you have your 'topic' you need a little rhyme, or chant, to help get the message across. Make sure you specifically say your word, or a synonym for the word. My chant goes as follows:
Purity rises, eyes flutter,
Goddess of light and good,
As I'm here, reach to me,
Teach to believe, to be my sight.
It isn't significantly better than what a 5th grader would conjure up with, but the rhyming isn't everything. It is what you feel when you speak it, as I have come to believe. So far you have the ingredients, tools, and written rhyme. We now need the order!
In either a dark or semi-light calm room, gather your materials. Take a little pith in one hand, peel in the other, and say as you bring the two together- *note this can be changed, I'm using this as an example*
"Once brothers in birth, helping to sustain, encouraging to survive, brought again in immortal strength."
Lay the two, now 'one', down in the bowl. Bring in the spices, and say-
"The earthen sisters, finely drawn, join hands with the long lost."
Join the spices in the bowl, and next dash the shavings in and concentrate on the image of the topic you used.
I used purification, as the joining of elements to create something good. Or you could of health, as the pith (pith is very healthy for you) and its love, or of spiritual as the many energies together to be stronger than the separate. Relate what your topic to what we just did, (I have done this so many times for different topics its hard not to see what to think. If requested, I will make a chart that everyone can contribute to.)
Focus your energy on the candles energy, chanting the rhyme you devised earlier. Once you believe you have got the right mood and energy, imagine the orange mixture burning in flames. Blow out the candle softly, and finish the spell by putting the embers out with your fingers, signifying strength. If you choose to, you may lick your fingers prior to extinguishing the embers.

How am I doing? If you disagree, please tell me. I have tried this many times and I have been more focused on certain spells, *i get more into a type of mind state, almost like trance*. This comes with practice and faith, I believe. This is a good beginners spell.
