🌟🔮 A Beginner’s Guide: What Makes a Spell Work 101 🔮🌟

Hello! Ever wondered what makes a spell work? While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, there are a few key ingredients that contribute to the effectiveness of a spell. Here's what you need to know:

Intent: Your intention is the driving force behind any spell. Clearly define your goal and focus your energy on manifesting it through your magical workings.

Energy: Channeling and directing energy is essential for making a spell work. Whether it's through visualization, ritual, or other magical techniques, you need to harness and direct your energy toward your desired outcome.

Correspondences: Correspondences are associations between different elements, such as colors, herbs, crystals, and planetary influences, and specific magical intentions. By aligning these correspondences with your intention, you amplify the energy of your spell.

Timing: Timing plays a significant role in spellcasting, with certain phases of the moon, days of the week, and astrological influences being more conducive to specific types of magic. Pay attention to timing when planning your spells to maximize their effectiveness.

Symbolism: Symbolism is a powerful tool in magic, as it allows you to tap into the deeper meanings and associations of various symbols and archetypes. Incorporating symbolism into your spells adds depth and potency to your magical workings.

Remember, the most important ingredient in any spell is your belief in its effectiveness. Trust in your own power and the magic of the universe, and watch as your spells manifest before your eyes! 🔮🌟✨

Celebrating for my 1st time

Samhain (Oct 31 - Nov 1)

Also known as witches new year, marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, the nights are long and it is getting colder. The harvest is celebrated and we express our gratitude. Samhain is also a celebration to honor ancestors and contact the deceased, as the veil is thin and makes communication easier.

Correspondences for Samhain: Symbols of Samhain | pumpkins, bats, spiders, cobwebs, witches, broomsticks, skeletons. Colors | Black, orange, white, silver, purple. Spells | Gratitude, releasing, honoring, abundance, communication, protection. Crystals | Amethyst, onyx, obsidian, smokey quartz. Herbs and flowers | Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Rosemary, Sandalwood. Food | Apple pie, pears, pumpkins, nuts, grains, bread, vegetables, soups, stews, candy, ciders. Activities | Honoring ancestors, letting go, celebrating, baking, visiting cemetery, trick or treating, watching horror movies, dumb supper, séances.

🌸 Self Love Jar 🌸

Materials

Glass Jar with lid

Whole Cloves - draws in love. Good for divination.

Chamomile Buds - Love, sleep, protection and purification, also reduce stress.

Brown Sugar or Honey – to add a little sweetness (I think we all need to be a little sweeter to ourselves)

Rose petals – not only good for self love but attracting things to you and beauty spells too.

Pink Himalayan Salt – Salt is known for its protective and purifying nature

Lavender – calming and is great for heightening awareness. Also to rid anxiety.

Hibiscus Flowers – perfect for attraction and helping with dreams

Rosemary – this is my go to herb for lots of spells and rituals. A perfect substitute for any herb. Stops gossip and is great for the memory.

Bay Leaves – Write your intentions or mantra on the leaves (I am strong, I am beautiful etc)

Cinnamon – perfect for getting rid of negative energy and ‘warming up’ your own power!

Pink Peppercorns – to give yourself a little kick

Rose Quartz – to help open your heart and create feelings of peace. Raw Rose Quartz for self love in its most natural state.

Pink Candle – To seal the jar.

Method

Light some incense and take a few deep breaths before placing all your items into a jar. The size will depend on how powerful you want it or if you want to carry it with you. I have some teeny little jars that pack just as much punch as the larger ones. It is all about the intention you put into it.

As you add each item say either out loud or to yourself what you hope to gain or are wanting from the item.

‘I add this lavender to help ease my anxiety and give me a sense of calm’

With the bay leaves I like to use a permanent marker and write clear directions.

I AM STRONG

I LOVE MY BODY

This sets the intention solidly and you are not asking for permission. The words are declaring that you have got this and it is true!

After all of the items have been added you need to seal the spell. Light the candle and allow the wax to drip down the sides of the jar/bottle to form a wax seal. While still wet I like to place the crystal, in this case rose quartz, into the wax.

Hold the jar in your hands and feel the positivity you just created. Place onto your alter or work desk where you will see it regularly. When you feel the need for a little pick me up, hold it and feel the good vibes flow.

🌸 I am constantly growing, evolving and becoming my best self. I am enough. I am whole. I love myself. 🌸

@esoteric-chaos thank you for such great information.

Also please note some stuff is UPG. A great book is Year of the Witch by Temperance Alden for honouring the celebrations and if you wanted to work more seasonally. It's not Wiccan-based and has plenty of resources for every witch.

Feel free to post how you celebrate in the comments or reblogs!

Just a reminder and quick psa.

If you have a library card see if your library has a seed “library” where you can pick seeds to take home and plant in your own garden! Best of all it’s free!!!

A Lesson for Young Witches

If you cannot find representations for a given element, remember…

You are supported by a rigid skeleton made of minerals. You are earth.

Your body is over 70% fluid. You are water.

Your lungs take in and expel breath. You are air.

Your blood is warm and your brain runs on electrical impulses. You are fire.

Your essence, however you describe it, resides within you. You are spirit.

You are composed of gifts from every element, and every element is given marvelous life in you.

Never feel that you are insufficiently magical for lack of icons or accoutrements or accessories.

You are ALWAYS magic. You are ALWAYS enough.
