The Witches Calendar

The first concern of the witch before undertaking a ritual of evocation is the correct use of time. It is possible to finetune the timing of witchcraft by choosing a date and time when the season, astrological configurations, day of the week and phase of the moon are all favourable to the spell you wish to cast. It is also essential to trust your intuition. Do not cast a spell if you feel that the timing is incorrect, as the power of the ritual will be lessened.

Unlucky Dates:
Just as there is lucky dates, the Grand Grimoire also cites certain dates as being particularly unlucky for the performance of witchcraft.
