In working a spell, it is useful to consider and incorporate correspondences. Correspondences are
"the harmonics which magickal experience has shown to link objects or beings in various categories (deities, colours, plant and animal species, tarot cards, perfumes, minerals, geometrical shapes, Tree of Life path etc.) and which help one to find those points of inter-resonance..."
(from A Witches' Bible by Stewart & Janet Farrar)

Whatever the spell, it can be enhanced by harmonizing the accessories used (ie. incense, oils, candles, etc) and the lunar cycle during which the spell is performed, to your purpose.
