Magic can be used to focus energy to effect change in the world, for the good of all. Cord magic is a great way to be clear in your intention and draw a desired effect into reality. Find a piece of string or cord about a yard long. As you tie nine knots in the string, say the following and let the power of your intention be focused and real:

By knot of one, this spell has begun.
By knot of two, it shall come true.
By knot of three, so mote it be.
By knot of four, I invoke more.
By knot of five, this spell is alive.
By knot of six, the magic is fixed.
By knot of seven, the magic leavens.
By knot of eight, I need not wait.
By knot of nine, this spell is mine.

Keep the knotted string on your altar, and renew the spell as needed.
