#personal spells

(Yes, this can be done with a dual action/reversal candle, but for this of us only fortunate enough to have a kitchen. Use what ya got.)

Best Done During:

Waning Moon; Saturday or Tuesday; Planetary hours: Mars and Saturn

Concept:

• Cleanse

• Reverse negativity

• Protect

Tools:

• Mirror plate

• Candle

• Marker

• Black Pepper (banish/exorcise)

• Salt (protect/cleanse)

• Cayenne/Red Pepper Flakes (banish/protect)

• Cinnamon (protect/attract/banish/money)

• Basil (exorcise/protect/money)

• (Olive) Oil

How:

1) Bless the mirror plate and herbs (if you haven’t already and if you have a second, third, etc., time wouldn’t hurt). Remember the time and energy you invest in this you’re also investing in yourself. Write words sigils, runes, and magical symbols for protection/reversal.

2) Cleanse yourself with the candle. Rub yourself down head to toe, crack and crevice. The candle is taking the excess, stagnant and bad energy from you. It should feel heavier. Write words, sigils, runes, or magical symbols of cleansing/protection/reversal.

3) Fix it. Dress it with: oil, a pinch of Salt (ask the salt to cleanse you), a pinch of Basil (ask it to protect your finances), a pinch of Cinnamon (ask it to bless your love life and your passions and protect the things you love and care about).

4) If you can grind it great, if not just mixing these together will work fine. Mix:

Salt, peppers, basil and cinnamon ( break them down, or use two sticks making a cross). Ask that they:

“remove and expel negativity from your life. Just like the mirror works to reflect and send back any negativity so will the B. Pepper, Basil, and cinnamon work to break down and return negativity to its sender(s) in all areas of your life. Ask the salt, R. and C. Peppers to build a fiery wall of protection around you that works to reflect and destroy any negativity that tries to come your way. That protects you and shields you as you move forward so you may grow in trust and confidence with your magic.”

-visualize for a few minutes negativity melting off you. Onto the ground or up into the atmosphere to be sent back to where it came from.

-visualize a wall of fire around you and feel protected, calm, comfortable. Now would be a good time to ask for your trusted spirits to lend their hand in the work. To protect you. To guide you.

5) Put that mix in a circle around the candle (size doesn’t matter 😏 lol). Then focus on your goal of sending all this sh*t back that you’ve experienced recently or overall. Focus on knowing from this moment on you are protected and divinely guided. When you’re ready/if you have them lay the sticks down asking them to uncross your path.

6) Once you feel calm and relaxed and have a solid visual in your mind. Light the candle and focus that feeling into the flame. (It might help to use your hands/make an energy ball/put your hands around the flame. But if you’ve ever been mad Asf and kept starting at someone you were mad at while holding that feeling in. That’s directing your focused energy towards something. So do that but towards the flame.) Hold the idea/intention/emotion and let it loose on the flame.

7) Let the candle burn (keep and eye on it). Go back to it at least once a day and work on it. Say affirmations, meditate, cleanse in front of it, pray, add an herb or another candle or start another work where you’re building your finances or self love or that helps you develop your psychic gifts. Something to shift your focus and fill the void that cleansing creates.

When you do a spell for yourself and you need to make it personal, you can use your astrology signs, your favorite color, or even something from your body. 

If you’re doing a personal spell for someone else, as long as it doesn’t go against the person’s free will and they have given you consent, you can use a picture of the person, their birthstone, their zodiac, amongst other things.

Intent: The purpose of this spell is to assure that the person who carries the bag has a stress-free test-taking experience, and is able to finish their test on time, and without worrying too much while they take their test.

Ingredients:

Aquamarine (for memory, and to promote verbal self-expression)

Amber (emotional ailments cured, unlocks inner wisdom)

Selenite (memory, illumination, healing)

Clear Quartz (amplifier)

Lemon Essential Oil

Cedarwood Essential Oil

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil

A small glass vial.

Any sigils that you think you’ll need (I used a sigil for productivity and one for being free from stress. You can design them yourself or find pre-made designs online.)

A small watch or stopwatch (represents having enough time to take the test)

An old key (This represents unlocking goals, and is also a physical representation of the witch in the spell. Remember to find a key that vibes with you.)

A small bag or pouch

Instructions:

Prepare your sigils by drawing them on pieces of slips of paper. Make sure that the pieces of paper are small enough to fit into the bag without being folded. One the backside of each piece of paper, write the purpose of the sigil so as to remember/restate your intent when making them.

Prepare the essential oil mixture. Combine three drops of each of the above essential oils in a small glass vial, and seal the vial. This mixture is for clarity and focus.

Open the bag. First, place each crystal inside. Channel your energy into them. As you set each crystal inside of the bag, fill them with your intent and remember what each one is meant to do. The crystals do not have to be placed in any specific order. Do what feels right for you.

Next, place within the bag the watch/stopwatch. This watch will represent your ability to keep track of and utilize your testing time limits.

Add each of the sigils into the bag, in a way similar to that of the crystals. Remember what each sigil is there to do as you place them inside the bag.

Add the vial of essential oils.

Finally, add the key. This key is the representation of you, the witch and the test-taker, in the spell. It also symbolizes your ability to unlock and achieve your goals.

Close the bag firmly.

Make sure to keep this bag with you while you take the test, preferably in your pant or jacket pocket. I find it best to keep it in a jacket pocket, near the center of your body.

The bag can only be opened once the test is finished, at which point the spell is no longer in use. Crystals should be cleansed and recharged, as well as the other materials (if you plan on reusing them). Sigils can be torn up and recycled.

Purpose:

If you or someone else needs to banish some negativity and struggle with finding peace and comfort, this candle can give extra help to instill gentle, warm, protective energies, while also grounding and providing a cozy, safe energy bubble around the person in need. (It's meant to feel like a warm hug, a hot bath or being all wrapped up in bed with your favorite blanket, hence the name.)

Materials:

1 white candle- clarity, focus upon the spell, a clean slate, positivity

Taglock- this is optional, can be a hair of you/the person it's for, a name carved in the side, etc.

Liquid honey- for warmth, sweetness and good health (also helps other ingredients stick to the candle)

Black salt- grounding, cleansing and banishing negativity

Lavender- relaxation, healing and protection

Florida Water- optional and not essential, I just like it because it smells perfect for this spell and adds an extra powerful kick for the cleansing aspect (note: this can be flammable, use in small amounts, with caution and do not get the wick wet)

Method:

~If using Florida Water, anoint it with a very small amount. Then, if using a tag lock, carve the name into the cande, attach the hair via honey, or find another way to create a connection between the taglock and the candle. IF you aren't using the water or a taglock, skip it and jump to this next step straight away.~

Roll the candle in liquid honey; amount used will vary based on preference, but I tend to use only enough to keep the other ingredients stuck to the candle. Coat the candle with black salt and the lavender to your satisfaction. Next comes the energy work. Use whatever method you have of drawing in positive, protective and cleansing energy and envision it filling up inside the candle. Imagine that every time it's lit, a forcefield of golden light forms around the person, keeping them safe and comforted, like a warm, snug blanket, or a hug.

Important rubbish: Burn in a candle holder suitable to the size and type of candle you're using, and never ever leave a flame unattended. Smaller candles work best for this spell. Not the type of candle you want to dress unless you'll use it right away, as sometimes the honey can attract critters, especially if you forget about it. Remember to dispose of the remnants properly.

*tip: charge ingredients/make and perform the initial candle burning on a full moon for extra oomph, cleansing, ending of negative cycles and for the moon to bless your creation with the gentle, powerful, protective energy she radiates. ❤

In an attempt to work more with my craft, as well as learn more, I was thinking of posting some of my spells from my personal grimoire.

Would anyone be interested?

I don't have many followers, and I believe most are here for my autumn posts, but if any of you'd like I'd be happy to start posting.

(Also probably going to start doing a tarot card of the day to help myself learn)

Some of my spells include:

Bath Spells (lots of bath spells)

Cleansing/Recharging/Healing

Money/Prosperity

Protection

Travel Spells

Health and Weight Loss

and plenty more to come. I write my own spells and will make sure I've done them before posting.
