Spell for Monday – Psychic Communication

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Psychic Communication Spell

This spell will help increase your long-distance psychic abilities. For it, you’ll need a like-minded partner who does not live with you. Set a time when you can perform this ritual with your friend. You’ll both need a white candle and charged amethyst stone. At the designated time, each of you should light your candle and gaze at the flame. Handle the amethyst stone. Concentrate on one thought; visualize a blue-white light surrounding the candle. Then, project your thought in the direction of your partner. Limit this exercise to about ten minutes. Extinguish the candle and call your friend. Tell each other what you felt, thought, or any images you saw. Perform this ritual at least once a month and you will increase your psychic awareness. Ideally, this spell should be worked on Mondays or Wednesdays, during a waxing Moon.

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Create a Money Magnet with a Jar Spell

To start, you will need a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, a green candle, a piece of green paper, and a pen. On the green paper, write down your financial goals, focusing on what you want to attract rather than what you want to eliminate. Please fold the paper and place it in the jar. Then, light the green candle and hold the jar in your hands, visualising money flowing towards you quickly and effortlessly.

Next, fill the jar with any combination of the following ingredients: cinnamon sticks, dried basil, whole cloves, allspice, or any other herb or spice associated with wealth and abundance. Fill the jar to the top, seal it tightly, and place it on your altar or in a prominent spot in your home.

Hold the jar daily and repeat your affirmations and visualisations of abundance. You can also shake the jar to activate the energy and release the fragrance of the herbs and spices. Keep the jar visible in your home, and you’ll notice a shift in your financial energy over time.

Full Moon Charging

Meditation

Hold your spell jar during a grounding meditation. Breathe into your body and feel your strength. Ask: What am I building? Where do I need to stand firmer in my truth?

Altar Offering

Place your spell jar on your altar with symbols of endurance—stones, feathers, antlers, or bark. Light a candle and speak your commitment aloud, calling your power home.

Journaling or Dream Work

Keep your spell jar beside your journal or bed. Write about the ways you’ve grown this year and the lessons you’ve learned. Pay attention to dreams around this moon—they may carry messages about your purpose.

Release Ritual

When your spell feels complete, release its contents into nature with reverence. Bury the herbs or pour them at the base of a strong tree, giving thanks for how far you’ve come—and how much farther you’re ready to go.

The Buck Moon reminds us that true strength is grown—not declared. It’s shaped by challenge, rooted in reflection, and revealed in steady, sacred steps. Let this moon empower your next chapter—and ground you in the wisdom you already carry.

Let’s Talk Witch – Chanting and Magick c 2014

Chanting and Magick

“In the beginning was the Word,” the Bible says. According to Christian tradition, the voice of God is the instrument of creation, the source of all that exists on earth and in the cosmos. The Hopi believe the universe was created by Spider Woman, who sang the sun, moon, earth, and stars into being, then animated earth’s creatures with her voice. According to Sufi mythology, God fashioned the first human from clay, then asked the angels to sing the person’s soul into a state of ecstasy so that it would enter and enliven the clay.

These creation stories express the power of the voice and the magick inherent in sound. Witches and other magicians often chant, sing, and intone special words or phrases to create the circumstances they desire. Most spells and rituals involve affirmations, incantations, prayers, or invoking spiritual beings for assistance. Chanting can also dispel unwanted energies and break down obstacles that might otherwise impede a spell’s success.

Some shamans even use chanting and singing to reconnect the soul with the physical body after a trauma has caused a separation. Singing to the missing parts of the soul/self is believed to create a pathway or bridge so the wandering parts can find their way back home.

As musician Steven Halpern puts it, sound is the “carrier wave of consciousness,” capable of transmitting information from one life form to another. Sound can even carry intentions between the visible and nonvisible realms.

Words of Power

Spiritual and occult literature abounds with references to the power of the human voice. For millennia people have been reciting magickal words as a way of invoking supernatural forces and petitioning them for assistance. This is usually done by calling out the deities’ names. Speaking someone’s name is said to be an act of power, giving the namer influence over the named (which is why in some belief systems, individuals have “public” names and “private” names that are kept secret). In the Genesis story, Adam was allowed to name the animals on earth and thus was given dominion over them.

Witches and magicians recognize the power inherent in some words, incorporating them into spells and rituals. Abracadabra, for instance, is universally associated with magick, by the public as well as occult practitioners. But the word isn’t just part of the stage illusionist’s repertoire. Derived from the Aramaic Avarah K’Davarah, which translates “I will create as I speak,” it expresses a magician’s intention to manifest a result. As long ago as the second century the word was written as an inverted pyramid and used in amulets to protect the wearer from illness.

One of the most powerful and sacred statements is also one of the shortest: I am. This magickal combination connects you with your divine essence for creative purposes. You can intone the words to balance your vital energy, center yourself, and generate power, much as you might chant the word Om. Or you can consciously choose to form a magickal sentence that begins with “I am” in order to manifest a desired condition.

Many witches end spells with the words “So mote it be.” This phrase (like “so be it”) seals a spell and instructs the universe to carry out the witch’s will. If a witch wants to banish an entity or energy, he might order it to leave by saying, “Be gone.” The expression “Blessed Be” is a favorite greeting among witches and a magickal exchange of positive energy.

Resonance and Vibration

Because the universe — and everything in it — is composed of vibrations, all sounds produce effects. Sound healers have demonstrated that the body’s chakras can be balanced by playing certain notes on the musical scale. Don Campbell, musician and author of The Mozart Effect, believes he healed himself of degenerative bone disease by “making thunder” — singing, dancing, and vocalizing a loud, long, extended tone that expressed his deepest fears, tension, and joy.

Witches tap the power of resonance to raise energy, cleanse sacred space, focus the mind, and empower spells. Whether you use your own voice or a drum, gong, bell, tingsha, singing bowl, or other instrument, sound can increase the effectiveness of your magick and add beauty to your rituals.

Spell For Monday – Elemental Road Opener Spell: Wiccan Prayer to Unlock Paths

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Elemental Road Opener Spell: Wiccan Prayer to Unlock Paths

Road opener rituals are great for finding the way out of a stagnant situation and moving forward in life. If you are feeling stuck or having a hard time with a specific problem 🔗, this simple spell might help you find the right course of action.

This is a road opening ritual inspired by Mexican bruja Yeel Maló, who works with the ray of Archangel Gabriel, the celestial messenger. The spell recipe on this page has been modified to invoke the Universal Elements instead.

You can dedicate this prayer to a different patron saint or deity. If you need inspiration for your devotional practice, visit today’s ruling deities or learn about the God and Goddess of Wicca.

How this Spell Works

We will work with each of the 4 Elementals for a Wiccan ritual.
‣ A bowl of water will symbolize the Water Element 💧
‣ A crystal or gemstone for the Earth💎
‣ An incense stick for the Air ☁️
‣ And a candle for Fire 🔥

What incense should I use? Pick an aroma that matches your intention. You can browse the Green Witch course to learn about the properties of different herbs. Cinnamon is a great option because of its warm, comforting smell that sanctifies the ritual area.

If you don’t have a crystal or gemstone for this spell, use a bowl filled with kitchen salt instead.

Road Opener Wiccan Candle Ritual

Recipe by Francisco Huanaco
An easy road opener spell with a candle and a Wiccan prayer. Invoke the 4 elementals to clear and unlock solutions to your problems.

What you’ll need

Bowl of water (regular drinking water)

1 incense stick

1 crystal or gemstone (pick one according to the day)

1 white candle

How to do a road opener spell

Arrange your items on the altar. Each element will face one of the four directions: Water faces West. Air faces East. Earth faces North. Fire faces South.

Light the incense. The Air element is entering your ritual.

Rub your hands for a few seconds until you can feel a warm energy, visualize a ball of energy and hold your crystal, you are invoking the Earth element.

Light the candle to call upon the presence of the Fire element.

Gently dip a finger in the water to feel the company of the Water element. Water represents a state of flow, a mirror that can open the door to a new reality. This transforming energy will clear all blockages.

Chant the following road opener prayer:Road Opener prayer chant

Visualize an empty road. Meditate for a few minutes as you see yourself moving forward.

Let the candle burn completely and always practice candle safety. If you need to leave the room, put out the candle and continue burning it later.

Once the candle is burned, toss all remains away while saying Thank you. Keep the crystal close to you. If you need to invoke the power of this spell, rub your hands and hold it in your hands again.

Spell For Tomorrow – Black Silk Cloth Banish Spell

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Black Silk Cloth Banish Spell

This spell will help you get rid of an enemy.

Ingredients:

Wax

Black silk cloth

3 pins

3 rose thorns

Black silk ribbon

Take some wax, model a human figure as close as possible to the victim, and baptize it with the name of the person you want to strike. In doing this, focus as much as possible on your goal and visualize the victim as if he/she was present.

Take a black silk cloth and lean the wax figure on it.

At this point, you need three pins and three rose thorns. Take the pins and recite the following formula over them:

“This is the tool with which I inflict you, the most daring suffering if you (name of the victim) do not give me peace.”

The formula must be recited every time you insert a pin, in the heart, in the forehead, and in the right leg of the figurine.

Repeat the same operation with the thorns, this time reciting this other formula:

“This is the tool that is capable of inspiring repentance, may you (victim name) finally give me peace.”

The spell must be repeated for three consecutive nights and on the third night, a black candle will be lit and the wax figurine will slowly melt in its fire.

At the end of this casting, collect everything left, wrap it in the black silk cloth, and tie everything with a ribbon (also in black silk) in the shape of a cross. Throw everything into running water.

Thursday is the fifth day of the week.   In the Norse languages this day is called Torsdag, honoring Thor, the god of strength, fertility, thunder, the protector and defender in war, and son of Odin.  Thor is the counterpart of Zeus (Greek), and Jupiter or Jove (Roman).  Thor, the most beloved of the great gods of northern mythology, is the only god who cannot cross from earth to heaven across the rainbow bridge, for he is so heavy and powerful that the gods fear it will break under his weight.  It was said that whenever his hammer Mjollnir, was thrown, it would produce a thunderbolt and when struck against stone, it would create lightning.

Spell for Tomorrow – Fairy Wishing Spell

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

FAIRY MAGICK

Because fairies are connected to nature, their spells are usually performed outdoors. A small brook, a secret lily pond, the base of your favorite tree, or a field of wild flowers all make excellent settings for fairy magick. Even large, lush window boxes, overflowing with fragrant herbs and delicate blossoms, can serve as a haven for the wee folk.

Fairy Wishing Spell

For this spell you will need

a small white birthday candle,

a silver coin,

seven moon cookies (sugar cookies cut into crescent moons), and

a secluded wooded area where you can be alone.

As you walk through the woods, keep a close eye out for Fairy circles, small circular areas surrounded by inedible red fungi with white spots. It is believed that fairies meet within these rings to celebrate their magickal rites. When you find a fairy circle, carefully place your coin in the center of it. Set the candle on top of the coin, light it, and make your wish. When the candle has completely burned out, place the moon cookies around the coin, state your wish aloud, and then walk away. If you return to the spot and your coin and candle are gone, you will know that your wish has been granted.

Spell For Tomorrow – Banish Procrastination NOW

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Banish Procrastination NOW

Procrastinate (verb) :

“To keep delaying something that must be done, often because it is unpleasant or boring”.

One of the biggest obstacles to moving forward in life is the habit of postponing tasks, in other words, procrastinating. This is especially true when it comes to learning how to become a Witch. We all find ourselves postponing our daily meditations or find reasons not to cast spells other do our witches’ homework. 🔮

A spell to stop procrastinating should be quick and easy to do, otherwise we will postpone the casting of this very spell! That’s why this simple technique works. If the habit of procrastinating has become your number one enemy, try this easy Wiccan spell:

Simple spell for ending procrastination without ingredients. Stop procrastinating once and for all doing this easy ritual and get stuff done once and for all!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

  • Focus

HOW TO CAST THE SPELL

Think about the task you want to do, avoiding the words “I have to…” or “I should…”. These type of phrases imply that you have no choice, that you won’t do it unless you must. For example, never say to yourself: “I have to study”.

Say to yourself something like “I choose to study now”, or “I am ready to study” (replace with the task you are about to do). This way of thinking implies that you have control and it helps you avoid procrastination.

When you’re ready, count down in your head: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 — and do it!

Quit whatever it is you are doing and get to work on the task.

Spell For the Winter Solstice – 10 Winter Solstice Rituals to Welcome the Season’s Magic

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

10 Winter Solstice Rituals to Welcome the Season’s Magic

As the wheel of the year once again turns toward the chill of winter, I find myself eagerly anticipating the quiet hush that descends with the snow. The Winter Solstice, a time of equal night and day, beckons us into a world of stillness, a pause in the breath of the earth before the slow exhale into longer days.

This celestial event marks a pivotal point in our journey around the sun, a moment of balance before the scales tip towards the growing light. It’s a perfect moment to pause and think about what this change brings to our lives. Remember, everything in life is cyclical – there’s always something ending and something else beginning. Today, we’ve got a list of some of our favorite Winter Solstice Rituals to help you celebrate the end of long dark days.

What is the Winter Solstice?

The winter solstice is a point in time when the night is at its longest and the day its shortest. It is marked by the Sun’s most southerly position relative to the celestial equator, an occurrence that takes place around December 21 or 22 in the Northern Hemisphere and around June 20 or 21 in the Southern Hemisphere. This celestial event signifies the start of winter, a period that extends until the spring equinox.

Embracing the Stillness

The Winter Solstice invites us to embrace the stillness and the introspective nature of the season. It’s a profound time to gather close, sharing the warmth of hearth and home while feasting on winter’s offerings like root vegetables, hearty stews, nuts, and citrus fruits.

The winter solstice, also known as Yule, is the deepest part of winter – a time for rest and renewal. It’s celebrated with quiet reflection, cozy gatherings, and rituals that honor the longest night and the rebirth of the sun. It’s a moment to light candles, share stories, and set intentions for the returning light.

Each chapter of our lives brings its unique lessons, just as the seasons change and bring their own forms of energy. Honoring the winter solstice helps us to cultivate inner strength and resilience as we navigate life’s colder, more reflective times.

The Wheel of the Year turns, and with it, we find guidance for living a life of harmony. It teaches us to flow with the natural rhythms of the earth, celebrating our connection to the cycles of nature. By observing these ancient traditions, we align ourselves with the natural world, finding a more balanced approach to life that honors our need for rest, reflection, and connection during the winter months.

10 Winter Solstice Rituals

In the spirit of this introspective season, I invite you to join me in embracing the stillness through ten heartfelt Winter Solstice rituals that honor the quietude and depth of winter:

1) Welcome the Dawn

One of my favorite winter solstice rituals is to greet the new dawn. On the morning of the solstice, rise while the stars still twinkle in the pre-dawn sky, finding your place in the world’s hushed tones before the day begins. Stand in the crisp air, feeling the stillness of the earth, and watch with reverence as the horizon slowly brightens.

Engage all your senses as the first light creeps across the sky, expressing silent gratitude for the sun’s return after the longest night. Notice as the world transitions from night to day—perhaps it’s the frost sparkling on the grass, the early birds’ tentative chirping, or the fresh scent of pine in the cold morning air.

With the light’s gentle increase, offer your words of appreciation and love to the dawn. Speak of the beauty found in the quiet, the peace of the world at rest, and the promise of the lengthening days to come. You might leave behind a heartfelt gift to the morning—a written verse, a hand-drawn sketch, or a splash of water on the earth—anything that feels like a fitting tribute to the solstice morn.

As the sun rises, take a deep breath, filling your lungs with the cold, pure air, and then retreat indoors to enjoy a warm mug of winter spice herbal tea. This act of welcoming the dawn on the winter solstice is a profound reminder of the ever-turning wheel of the year and the continuous cycle of renewal and rebirth.

2) Candle Vigil

3) Take a Nature Walk

4) Sacred Smoke Bundle Creation

5) Journaling by Firelight

6) Craft Some Herbal Brews

7) Prepare an Ancestral Feast

8) Restorative Yoga

9) Night Sky Gazing

10) Bathe with the Herbs of the Winter Solstice

Spell For Summer Solstice – 10 Beautiful Rituals for Summer Solstice

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

10 Beautiful Rituals for Summer Solstice

Celebrate the first day of summer on December 21st with these rituals for summer solstice. May they bring you joy, love, and light in your life.

In nature-based faiths, the summer solstice is known as Litha and is considered one of the most sacred sabbats of the year. It marks the start of the summer months and the longest day of the year before the nights start to grow longer again.

People gather at Stonehenge for day and night long celebrations watching the sun align and shine through a certain point in the structure. In its most basic essence, this day is a celebration of the sun and that it is still shining on us. It will go out one day—but we should revel in our good fortune that we were born at this point in Earth’s evolution. The solstice also holds deeper nature metaphors for life, fertility, and the cycle of time and seasons. No matter what your view of spirituality or nature, it’s always worth celebrating when there’s sunshine involved!

It’s Summer Solstice!

What better time to get together with friends, family, and loved ones, and celebrate the source of all life? What better time to acknowledge the life force energy within us and give back to Creation some of the energy and blessings that we are always receiving. The Earth constantly provides for all of us with her incredible bounty, and the Sun’s warmth provides the light necessary for all living beings to thrive and prosper.

Creating ceremonies, celebrations, or rituals for summer solstice is a way for humans to express gratitude for these gifts. We have so many things to be thankful for—our families, our friends, our homes—and there are so many ways we can express our gratitude for those things: through words and actions, through gifts and offerings, through celebration.

The summer solstice is a great day on which to create your own ceremony or ritual of gratitude. It’s also a good time to connect with nature; find someplace where you can sit in silence with just yourself and your thoughts. There’s something invigorating about spending time alone in nature; it helps us reconnect with ourselves as well as with the natural world around us.

Rituals for Summer Solstice

1. Gather herbs

One of my favorite rituals for summer solstice is to gather plants and healing herbs as our ancestors did. Five common Celtic sacred plants associated with Midsummer are St. John’s Wort, Vervain, Yarrow, Fern, and Mugwort.

Manifold ceremonial features are associated with the Midsummer celebrations, but the lore of herbs and plants traditionally took the center spotlight around this special festivity. Herbs constitute a strong element for celebrating the Midsummer solstice due to their strong connections with magical and healing powers.

2. Have a Bonfire

3. Watch the Sun Rise and Set

4. Decorate Your Alter

5. Prepare a Summer Solstice Gathering

6. Bathe in the Light and Warmth of the Sun

7. Set Your Intentions

8. Spend Time in Nature

9. Leave Fairy Offerings

10. Create a Prayer Tree

Spell

Materials Required

  • Binding oil
  • String
  • Piece of paper
  • Pencil or pen
  • Black candle 
  • Match or lighter 
  • Fire-proof bowl

The first step you will need to complete for this is to cast a circle (how you normally would when preparing for your workings) and to ensure that all of your materials are within reach.

You will light your candle first, black is generally used because it symbolizes the removal of something from your life.

Next, you will write the obstacle that you wish to see removed from your life on the piece of paper. After which, you will spend a few moments visualizing how you will work to remove this obstacle from your life. It is important to remember that spells can assist a great deal, but you also have to put in the necessary time, effort, and energy towards what you are looking to accomplish. When you are finished, you will then take the piece of paper and fold it so that it is smaller in size, and begin to wrap your string around it. As you are wrapping the string around the piece of paper, you can recite the following incantation:

 As I wrap this cord, ________ will be no one.
_______ shall no longer be a part of my life.
This shall come to be. 

When you have finished wrapping, you will then take a small amount of the binding oil, and put it on the obstacle you have wrapped in the string. After which, you will take it, and place it in the fireproof bowl, and set it aflame. As it burns, the following incantation, or something similar should be recited:

As this obstacle burns, so shall the power it has over me.
This obstacle shall hold no power over me.
As it burns, it shall be released release from my life. 

After it has been burned to ash, you may close your circle. Once the ashes from your obstacle are cool to the touch, you may bury them somewhere away from your home so that they can cause no more harm.

If you like, you can add words of affirmation to the drawing that align with your goals. Place the paper outdoors or in a window where it will be in direct sunlight for an hour or more. Put the bowl of plant mixture in the center of the Sun drawing and let the warm rays empower them with solar energy.
