The song questions "Wiccans" and "witches" who go on about having awesome powers, as of the sort that comes to Wicca and witchcraft after watching "The Craft" or "Charmed," and who don't actually know anything about Wicca or witchcraft. The "charming spell" refers to controlling spells like love spells, which this sort are initially attracted to but Wicca considers forbidden because of the bad karma incurred from trying to bind and control someone's will (which all such spells involve). Someone who claims to be Wiccan but wants to do a love spell is just proving that they don't know a thing about Wicca (see the somewhat condemning tone of the song as a whole, including the line, "Go ask your Goddess if you've served her well," suggesting that even the would-be Wiccan's goddess would condemn such actions). Almost everything else is a further reference to magical tools and practices in modern witchcraft.

Actually, this song was going to be the intro for Charmed. It was swapped nearly last-minute.
