Auditory Playlist Spells
Had this idea off of a combination of shufflemancy and emoji sigils when I realized I could use emoji for playlist names in Spotify. Often times I create playlists to inspire an emotion or state in myself or a space. It occurred to me, if I combine the two, I’ve got a spell that is a) stored and ready for use and b) subtle enough to be used wherever and whenever I wish. Process is this:
Decide what you want your playlist to be used for: cleansing is good, invoking an emotion, protection, etc. Think about if this is intended to be played over headphones (a more personal spell) or over speakers (creating an area of effect). For example, if I want a playlist to calm chaotic energies in a space, I’d want it over speakers.
Come up with a typable sigil and store it as your playlist name. I know you can use emoji in spells within Spotify and can copy emoji off sites if you are on desktop. If you can’t store your sigil as emoji in your music player of choice, you can come up with another form of typed sigil such as removing vowels from the phrase you wish the sigil to symbolize or such. It just needs to be something you can store as the name of a playlist.
Charge the playlist with songs symbolizing your intent. What you use doesn’t matter so long as it reminds you of the sigil’s intent. Any time you feel your playlist losing effect, revisit this step, either removing songs that have lost their meaning or adding songs to recharge the spell’s effect. With every song you add, make sure you are focusing on the intent of the playlist.
Play your playlist when you are ready to invoke its power. Wear headphones if it is a personal spell. Play over speakers if it is to cover a space. Let the music bring about the state of mind or surroundings you wish to create.
