Witchcraft: Daily Practice - Day 5
Spell Working
It is a common myth that witches work spells all day, every day. Most witches I know, myself included, will always seek the mundane solution first before embarking on spell work. When we do, it is usually a backup to boost the physical action we have already taken. However, if you are looking for ideas to help you jump back into magical action, then simple spell workings are a good way to go. Spells can be worked for all and any intent and for any reason. The wonderful thing about working a spell to help you connect with your magical self is that you can use that as the intent, but also bring in all the correspondences, which gives you a double whammy of helping you connect with all the ingredients and symbols. It is a win-win situation. Pick the intent of working a spell a week or a month, or to really bring the magic in, try working a seven-day spell. This requires your focus for a short while every day for a week, definitely bringing in the daily practice aspect. Your intent could be to reconnect with your magical self, to bring focus and clarity, or just to bring a bit of peace and happiness to the world. The choice of intent is yours. You could keep it really simple or bring in the bells and whistles, or pick and choose anywhere in between.
Prompt:
• Light a candle, focus on the flame and visualise your intent.
• Correspond the colour of the candle to your intent.
• Dress your candle with a corresponding essential oil.
• Roll your candle in corresponding crushed dried herbs.
• Carve a symbol or sigil on the candle before lighting.
• Place a crystal at the base of the candle.
• Write a chant to go along with your spell.
• Write a petition to place under your candle.
• Work your spell on the corresponding moon or sun phase.
• Work your spell on the corresponding zodiac.
Or
• Create a spell pouch or witch bottle filled with herbs and crystal chips.
You can continue adding in all the extras; trust your intuition and what or how much you feel needs to be added.
