13 Easy Ways To Infuse Your Home With Magic

13 Easy Ways To Infuse Your Home With Magic

image

As summer ebbs away, and fall flows towards us, we release the things we were holding onto, and make room for new opportunities. October is a special month. The Equinox marks the beginning of the rest of the year: three months to hunker down, focus on what you want to create, make and do, and start to see the results.

I like to do a so-called spring cleaning at the start of every season. Your home, after all, is the place where you spend the majority of your time: it’s where you create and dream. It makes sense to spend a day getting your home ready for the next few months.

Start by cleaning your home in the conventional sense: vacuum, dust, clean your mirrors, and do a couple of loads of laundry. Once you’ve cleared all the muck, emptied your garbage bins, and cleaned out your fridge, it’s time to move onto cleaning in a more metaphysical way. Here are some of my favourite ways to do just that!

Decorate Your Altar - This is the perfect time to give your altar a super-clean, as well as a bit of a makeover. When you do this, it allows you to refocus on your dreams. Take everything off your altar, clean it up, and then be selective about what you put back. Choose candles which reflect your hopes and desires, burn some fresh incense, and place your favourite crystals just so.

Open The Windows - It may be getting colder, but keeping the windows open – as well as turning on a fan or two – is a great way to keep the energy in your house nice and buoyant. Fresh air is refreshing and cleansing, and it gets the energy moving. If the air in your home is stagnant, that will affect how you feel.

Get a Salt Lamp - You can buy salt lamps on Amazon for under $20, and they’re wonderful. They purify the air, emit negative ions, and naturally clear the air of allergens, so they’re great for people with asthma or allergies. I’m obsessed with mine, plus, the glow is so soft and relaxing!

Bring Nature Indoors - Few things will make you feel as good as walking into a house full of fresh flowers! They really brighten up a space, and if your budget can swing it, a fresh bunch of blooms every week is a fantastic gift to yourself. If arranging flowers isn’t your strongest area, Real Simple has got your back. Alternatively, you could buy some plants and station them all around your home. They increase the vibration of a space, and look beautiful, too.

Use a Space Cleansing Spray - You can easily make your own (all you need is a selection of essential oils and a bottle of vodka!), or if you’d prefer, you can buy one. The Australian Bush Flower Essences Space Clearing Mist is super-potent, and it contains angelsword, boab, fringed violet, lichen, red lily, calendula, echinacea, chamomile, aloe, arnica, sandalwood, cedar wood, eucalyptus, and lavender. Bad vibes begone!

Light Candles -  As soon as I wake up in the morning, I light the candles on my altar, meditate, and then start working. The simple act of lighting a match and sparking a candle reminds me of my intentions for the day, and sets an atmosphere of happiness and calm. You can use any kind of candle you like, but I recommend choosing a candle in a colour (or scent) that reminds you of your intentions.

Put Down The Seat! In Feng Shui it’s believed that if you don’t close the toilet lid, you’re flushing away all the good energy. The same concept applies to dripping or leaky taps: always make sure they’re fixed or turned off, because a dripping faucet signifies financial drain, or that your money is literally running out!

Visualize Your Home Filled With Light - While you may not have sunshine streaming into your home, you can easily fill your home with divine white light by simply visualising it. It’s easy: see your home filling up with a bright white light, expanding and filling every corner, every dark space. When your home is saturated with this divine light, it will provide energetic healing for everything and everyone who enter. Another beautiful option is to literally bring more light into your home by hanging rainbow makers or prisms in your windows. They cast beautiful rainbows on the wall, floor, and ceiling. Such a treat!

Change Up Your Art - When you look at the photos, paintings, and objects hung on your wall, ask yourself: does this make me feel good or bad? Is it enhancing my energy or draining it? Surround yourself with positive artwork, and be ruthless!

Clean Your Front Door - If your front door is looking grubby or missing its number, do something about it! For easy house-witchery, make sure your entrance-way is clean and clear. Wipe down your door, including the number, the bell, and the door handle. This isn’t just about being hygienic (although, of course, it’s a nice bonus!): when your door is clean and clear, love, money, and other good things will be able to find their way to you.

Make Some Noise! In ritual, sound – whether it be chanting, the ringing of bells, or the beating of drums – is used to clear and change the energy of a space. You can do this in your home, too, by clapping your hands. All you need to do is walk around the house, clap, and listen to how it sounds. If a clap sounds heavy or flat, the energy in that area is stagnant and stuck, but if it sounds crisp and clear, this indicates that the energy is flowing well. In the area where a clap sounds heavy, stay in that spot a little longer, and keep clapping until the sound becomes clear. You can do the same thing with bells, singing bowls, drums, or even a tambourine.

Sage - Burning sage in your home is a fantastic way to clear out stale energy. You can buy sage sticks all over the place, but I recommend using Etsy and supporting an independent business owner! Another great option is to burn Palo Santo, which smells amazing!

Take A Salt Bath - Your house might be clean, but that doesn’t mean much if you’re frazzled on the inside! One of my favourite ways to relax and change my energy is to have an Epsom salt bath. You absorb the salt through your skin, increasing your levels of magnesium (which calms you down, increases your energy, reduces irritability, and even aids concentration and sleep). It’s marvellous stuff. I buy huge bags of lavender Epsom salts and pour ample amounts into the tub every week, and it really helps make me feel happy again. P.S. If you don’t have a tub, I love these tips for turning your shower into a sanctuary.

I hope these tips help you to transform your home into an enchanting and wonderful place this season!

How to Enchant Items

To enchant an item is to infuse it with magickal energy. This energy can come from a variety of sources, including planets, crystals, herbs, or even yourself. 

Some individuals use the words “enchant” and “charm” synonymously as a way to describe the process of infusing something with energy, but for the sake of this post and due to my own beliefs, you enchant something and it then becomes a charm. Alternately, a charm can be something with its own innate energy, like a crystal or herbal amulet. 

The process of enchanting is extremely versatile and there are many ways to do it successfully, so long as you keep your intent clear in your mind. My personal preference when it comes to enchanting items is to allow 12-24 hours (overnight or a full day) for the item to be infused with energy and become a charm - although, this is completely left up to the individual spell-caster. 

Here are a few ideas on how to enchant items, in no particular order:

Surround the item with crystals of corresponding intent

Surround the item with herbs of corresponding intent 

Place the item in a jar filled with herbs that represent your intent

Place the item in front of a candle and meditate on your intent 

Anoint the item with an oil, charged water, or crystal elixir of corresponding intent 

Hold the item in your hand(s) and visualize it filling with the appropriate energy 

Hold the item in your hand(s) and speak your intent aloud

Craft a sigil or symbol to keep near the item in an envelope or sachet

Write your intention on paper and keep in an envelope with the item 

Pair the item with a corresponding runestone or tarot / oracle card in an envelope 

Take the item and put it in a box with other items that represent your intent such as crystals, herbs, talismans, amulets, etc. 

Bury the item in soil with herbs and/or crystals that match your intent (please don’t put salt on your lawn though, unless you want dead grass)

Pass the item through incense smoke that matches your intent

Simple Spell to Trap Negative Energy and Cultivate a Happy Home

image

I keep this spell in the bathroom on top of the toilet, because if it lures negative energy there but doesn10 quite trap it, I’ll have a backup plan for disposing of the energy: simply flushing the toilet!

Ingredients:

- baking soda

-sage

-rosemary

-thyme

-any other herbs or crystals that symbolize protection and/or strong family ties to you.

-A container (I picked up this little bathtub at the dollar store for $1.25. It blends in well with my bathroom decor)

Method:

-Gather your ingredients. If you cleanse your space or  cast a circle, do so now. Personally, I invoke the archangels: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel.

- invoke whatever deities, if any, you work with. Ask for their blessing and assistance with this task.

-add your herbs to your container, taking time to meditate over the purpose of each one. I used sage for cleansing, rosemary for energy (my family needs it lol) and thyme for strong family ties. 

- ask for protection over each member of the family, including pets. Name them one by one, either silently or in your head.

- cover everything with baking soda. Meditate on its use drawing out odors and disinfecting spaces. Will that it may do the same for negative energies in your home.

-set your container near your toilet, back door, or garbage cans. Somewhere that in the event of a backup of nasty energy, it has somewhere to go other than back into your home. That way it will get flushed down the toilet, tossed out with the trash, etc.

- Thank and dismiss any entities that you invoked.

- physically and spiritually clean up as usual.

Change the mixture on regularly occurring feast days within your spiritual practice, or just whenever you feel like your home needs it.

If you try this spell, please ask questions or send feedback regarding how it worked for you.

Magickal Uses for Strawberries

Planetary Association: Venus

Gender: Feminine

Element: Water

Deity Association: Freya

Magickal Uses: Attracts success, good fortune, and favorable circumstances. Served as a love food. Leaves are carried for luck. Pregnant women carry a packet of the leaves to ease the pain of pregnancy and childbirth.

Sweet, red strawberries are often used in spells for innocent love, friendship and happiness; as well as bringing out the sweetness in a person or situation. On the other hand, the luscious strawberry is a well known aphrodisiac, and can be used to stimulate deeply passionate, and sensual love relationships. As with all magick, the outcome is set by the intention. Used (sparingly) to draw fortunate circumstances into one’s life.

Lucky Charm Spell:

You’ll need:

An iron locket (if possible, other metals are acceptable)

1 strawberry leaf

Chamomile tea (and a towel)

4 star anise

Green salt (grind together sea salt and basil)

Bloodroot powder

1 green candle

Cast your circle, tracing the outline with bloodroot powder: at each watchtower (east, south, west, and north) offer a star anise to each element and place them at each quarter. You may use your own words, but here is an example of how to address each element:

“Air, please blow away all negativity and leave only positivity.” “Fire, please burn a bright light and illuminate me for luck to find.” “Water, please flow like a river and help luck streaming in pure.” “Earth, please grow good happenings and lucky blooms.” In the center of the circle, wash your hands with the chamomile tea. This is to wash away bad luck which may be lingering and to encourage everything you touch to become lucky. Pat your hands dry with the towel if you want. Take the iron locket and rub it down with the green salt to purify it. Say as you do this: “With this green salt, I rub away negativity and leave positivity and luck, and harm it none so mote it be.” Light the green candle and hold the locket in the flame. Say: “With this fire, I create a beacon for luck.” When cool, put the strawberry leaf inside. Rinse off the green salt with the chamomile tea, and meditate, focusing on channeling lucky energy into your new charm. -NOTE- Do not use anything you may be allergic to. Remember to snuff out the candles after the spell has been cast with wet fingertips or a candle snuff: blowing out the candles may undo your magick. It does not have to be a locket: you may use anything metal which can hold a strawberry leaf inside. The best time to do this spell is: Sunday, dawn or noon, in spring or autumn, when the moon is waxing or full. -TIP- Do the spell when it’s raining so you can make the chamomile tea from rain water. Also, the rain can help wash away any lingering bad luck.

Flower Petal Love Spell

Inspired by “Practical Magic” (1998), this is a love spell that I wrote partly for myself, but also for a friend of mine.

You will need:

Large bowl

Consecrated water

Rose oil (or Rosewater)

Garden with many flowers in bloom, or lots of leaves

River or stream with a good current, or a windy night

Timing: Full Moon

[Note: It is not a good idea to perform this spell with a specific person in mind, as those sort of spells easily backfire, or become disappointing if your crush turns out to be attached or not everything you hoped for. Instead, picture someone who you have not yet met who fulfills your heart’s desire.]

Ritual:

Record a list of desirable traits in your BoS or journal. Describe your ideal mate’s physical appearance, and mental, emotional, and spiritual habits. Be as thorough as you like. The more specific you are, the more likely it is that you won’t get pixed by a loophole. Try to present things in a positive fashion, i.e. “He/She will be kind,” but don’t be afraid to mark down traits that you definitely DON’T want, i.e. “He/She will not smoke.”

Cleanse yourself with a ritual bath and dress in something that makes you feel desirable and lovely. If possible, go barefoot. Taking the bowl in hand, walk into the garden and thank the earth and the plants for their gifts before you begin.

Walk through the garden. Pluck a blossom, petal, or leaf for every trait you desire in a lover or a mate, reciting each out loud as you do. (Be careful not to take too much from any one plant.) Place them into the bowl. Continue until you have gone through the entire list.

Rub the rim of the bowl with consecrated water and rose oil, clockwise, three times, while visualizing your energy pouring into the bowl to join the blossoms and petals, as an attractant to your prospective lover. Chant as you do:

Lover fair and Lover fine Come and join your heart with mine I pray you, love the whole of me And ever true and faithful be I offer up my love, my all And pray you heed my earnest call

Take up the bowl of blossoms and cast them either into a strong-flowing body of water or into a strong wind, saying:

Water/Wind, flow through hill and tree And bring a lover back to me

Go home and light a red candle. Sit for a while and muse on the idea of meeting the person your spell might bring into your life as the candle burns down.

Thereafter, keep your eyes…and your heart…open!

Strengthen Relationships Spell

So this is a spell for when things are rough in a relationship, I did this spell for a friend who is struggling in her relationship, so it can be used for your relationships or other’s. 

I also feel like I have to say this for the newly awakened witches, but you should really make a spell your own, if you want to use this, feel free but also add your own flavor into it and make it more specific for your situations. 

Strengthen Relationships Spell
Strengthen Relationships Spell

What I Used :

A bowl

Rose buds/petals (for love and understanding)

Oak shavings (for strength) 

Rosemary (for insight and the ability to not be blinded by lust) 

Storm Water (to weather any storm that comes their way) 

A Candle (pick your color for the situation, my friend needs financial stability in her relationship, so I used green) 

A pinch of black salt (for protection from the assholes) 

Pour a little of the storm water into your bowl, make sure it’s only about an inch so it doesn’t go up very far on the candle, I used a votive because it’s tall and wide enough to sit in the water without falling over or anything. 

Add the candle to the center of the bowl and light it while stating your intentions for the person the spell is for, or what you want in the relationship you’re struggling with. It doesn’t have to be a romantic relationship. 

Once the candle is lit add the other herbs to the water around the candle and let the candle burn down, let the wax spread into the water and gather the herbs as it does so. 

When the candle burns out let it sit on your altar for a day, 24 hours or so. Once that’s passed dispose of the materials however you see fit. 

I hope you guys like this! Let me know if you want me to post more spells?
