#tooth magic

The worldbuilding?? Insane. It’s layered and rich and somehow feels both ancient and brand new. And the descriptions?? So vivid you can taste the air in Prague, smell the scorched earth of battlefields, feel the ache of magic in your bones.

It’s whimsical. It’s tragic. It’s haunting in the way old fairy tales are. And the writing?? Some of the most beautiful, lyrical prose I've ever read in YA fantasy. And yet?? No one talks about it.

I need people quoting “once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love” like their lives depended on it. but it’s like everyone collectively forgot one of the most original and magical stories ever written.

I'm sorry but this book deserves a fandom revival IMMEDIATELY.

That sounds vaguely familiar...I think that may be in The Long Lost Friend?

There are a few other toothache remedies like carrying crocodile teeth about your neck, or shark teeth.

I prefer a drop of clove tincture, if unavailable, chew a clove carefully until it’s pulpy, put the pulp next to the tooth.

Another toothache/tooth health spell is:

say the abracadabra banishment three times, followed by a verbal Sator square repeated three times. (From Judika Illes Encyclopedia of 5000 spells).

It was 5.30pm on the eve of comic-con. We'd set up our tables and had just hungry-shopped the Nisa, filling our bags with all kinds of impulsive purchases.  A sack of mini chocolate-filled croissants.  3 yards of meat.  Apple pie biscuits.  Blue Fanta (it was elderflower flavour, apparently).  Hungry and exhausted after a day of heavy-bag travel, wristband-wrangling and table set-up, we piled ourselves onto the DLR back to the hotel and stuffed mini croissants into our dry, furry mouths.

I noticed Seb had something written on her hand.  "MAKE UP TOOTH" it said.  "Haha," I remarked.  "Did you manage to make up some teeth, then?"  "Mnghrgh," said Seb, which I think in this context translates to "Lucian I am tired, why must we play", but to her credit, she said, "Fizzdom Teeth."

Three hours later, the zine was completed.  Paper stolen from the Travelodge reception, scrawled in Sharpie at the table at Wagamamas, while I piled ramen into my mouth.  Photocopied and stapled in the copy shop at the convention hall, which was staffed by two very humourless middle-aged men who merely grunted their consent to me using their stapler.

And now, you can own it.  A testament to lightning-fast collaborative art, PLUS it comes with a gorgeous TOOTH WHEEL odontomantic talisman, which is conveniently adhesive on one side.  A "sticker", if you will.

Love it! Good luck on the next semester, you can do it 💚

Here are some other wisdom teeth spell ideas!

So if you found the baby teeth post, you may not have seen the follow up post that got started with Wisdom Teeth.

Check that out for some inspiration, but unless I know what you want help with in more certain terms, I can’t do much more! If none of those strike you as what you want, or you have a goal for the spell but don’t know how to work teeth in, send me a message or another ask that gives me a bit more to go off!

Hope that helps.

Teeth are so handy for magic. Think of everything they connect to and represent. First off, it’s a really powerful taglock, so using it to tie your energy to a working is an amazing tool. Even in a witch bottle (a bottle of protection that pretty much acts as “you” and a decoy to draw any negative energy/hexes/spellwork etc to it instead of you.) would be a great use of an extra tooth.

Teeth also connect to the old and ancestors (especially wisdom teeth) as they are bones of their blood, you! So using them as a tether for familial spirits is a good idea too.

The ask I answered before this made a protection charm out of their baby teeth so you’re on a really cool path!

Teeth also connect to hunger (literal or figurative and could be used for blessing or baneful magic), happiness (teeth show when you’re smiling and laughing), anger (gnashing teeth) and power in general. You could use them to “grind their bones to make your bread” as a binding ala fee fi fo fum. 

Bind or sow discord.“Shut your mouth” or“Loose lips sink ships”!Last idea that comes to mind would be in divination. You could make lots to cast and interpret and a tooth can represent so many things, it’s an awesome addition to any form of thrown divination.

If you ever want to send some teeth my way, I would gladly accept lol
