The Witches' Ladder Take a new piece of string, cord or twine and tie nine knots into it, with each knot whisper the line of the chant, and blow onto the knot, giving it life, focusing on your wish, and thus charging the string . By knot of one, The spells' begun By knot of two, It cometh true By knot of three, Thus shall it be By knot of four, 'Tis strengthened more By knot of five, So may it thrive By knot of six, The spell we fix By knot of seven, The stars in heaven By knot of eight, The hand of fate By knot of nine, It shall be mine! You should now carry the knotted cord, on your person, for at least a few days, then untie each knot, one at a time, while again concentrating on your wish, slowly releasing your spell. Most witches also tie in object links, to their ladders, strengthening their bond, these will depend on the type of spells being worked.
