Properties Of Sands

Herbs Good For Luck

Allspice: Incense made of allspice herb are used to promote luck, health, and happiness

Chamomile: It is the gambler’s lucky herb. Not long ago, gamblers were known to bathe their hands in chamomile solutions for better luck at gaming (they may be still doing it)

Frankincense: The Magi presented this aromatic herb to the savior. Carrying a small piece is considered lucky

Nutmeg: Long considered a charm for good luck, nutmegs are work as lockets and bracelets. They are often strung along with star anise.

Sandalwood: Burnt as incense, and used in soaps and talcum powder, sandalwood is a sign of luck and prosperity.

Re-visibility Spell

Description: If you feel that you are invisible to those around you -or- like me, unknowingly made yourself that way, this is the spell to undo that!

Type: Candle Magic (I am quite fond of it)

Necessary Materials: 

Large paper

Black Candle with wick removed (or a white candle colored black like I did hahaha)

White Candle

Sigils or symbols to represent the sun

Lighter

Process: Draw up some sigils. I used two, overlapped. One was an artistic, creatively represented sun to appeal to the organic energies at play, the other was the  traditional symbol for the sun, to appeal to logic and sciences.  Channel lots of warm, sunny, bright energies into it.

Program your black candle. This candle represents you, in your current invisible state. I used statements like “This candle represents me. This is me in the shadows. This is me, where no one notices me. This is me, in my invisible state. This is me, and the void I placed myself in.”  Place it at the center of your paper.  You may want to stick some cardboard underneath your paper so it doesn’t stick to whatever surface it is rested on.

Stack your white candle on top of it. This represents you, now. We are using white to refill the void, to offer light against the dark for stark contrast. You are in plain sight, now. 

Light your candle; use the fire to empower your will. State your intentions, whatever they may be. Mine were to be quite the opposite of what I had been all this time. You may not want all of the attention. I used things like this: “I am a beacon of light. I am bright as fire. I am special, I am noticed, I turn heads, I am powerful, I am wanted.” Be specific though, as it would be easy for this to backfire. I altered it by saying things like: “I attract only the attention I want, only the right attention, I am noticed in the right way, etc.”

Seal it. I like to do this verbally and symbolically. The spell seals itself by burning down and melting all over the dark candle, sealed away and taken over by the new, visible you.

I also seal with my favorite phrase: “I will it, and so it is.”

I thought the way it burned down was quite interesting.

Personal notes: Shortly after I did this, one of my new co-workers came to me and urged me to get a job at the location she will be at. “I rarely meet people that I think I will like, and I really really think we’re going to be good friends!”

That felt really nice, I haven’t heard anything like that in a long long longngngngngn time.

I also recently have a lot of people asking me to work with them, which is so important in my industry. That is exciting.

I am sure there will be more to come with this! 

Charm Making 101

Making your own charm is as easy as baking a cake, with no baking.

First let’s explore what makes a charm a charm. 

charm [CHärm] n. 

      a collection of materials placed into a color specific bag used to send and receive specific vibrations from the universe. A satellite dish if you will. Carrying these little bundles of magic with you everywhere you go is one of the easiest ways to communicate your wants and needs with the universe.

Step One: Figuring out your intentions

Every charm has a specific intent behind it. Without one, it’s just a bag of rocks and dirt. Figure out what you need the most in your life right now. This could be anything from romantic love to quick cash to even inner peace

Step Two: Understanding the skeleton

What in the world do skeletons have to do with charms? Well, the skeleton of a charm is essentially the building blocks you need. All of the really powerful charms I have made have come equipped with a leafy green, a flower, a base, a bag, and a mineral. 

Leafy Green.

The leafy green is a plant material. This can be dried herbs or simple green foliage from a specific plant that gives off good vibrations through its leaves.

The Flower.

The flower is there to work with the other leafy green and encompass a specific property all in one bundle.

The Mineral

The mineral is there to push out the signal. Incorporating crystals and rocks add an antenna to your satellite dish.

The Bag.

The bag is a little string draw satchel that is a specific color depending on what your intentions are (green for money, pink for love, etc). Every little satchel is just a method for energy to be carried around. The longer you are with it, the more energy and intention you put into it.

The Base.

Now last but not least is the base. This is something that can absorb any negative energy but can also add a little substance to your charm bag. The base is tricky but very versatile. A majority of the time rice is a really good base but things like garden or graveyard dirt can be used.

Step Three: Research

I’ve found the easiest way to accomplish this step it to work backwards. Instead of looking for a specific material that you need for a charm, figure out what the materials you have already do and see if they apply. You’d be surprised how versatile a lot of materials are. A lot of good resources can be found on the internet if you look up “(Material name)’s magical properties”. Just those three words can give you a solid amount of websites to read. On top of that, you can check out the WiccanInk page. If you’re not on mobile, there are links at the top labeled “Herbs”, “Color Magic”, and “Stones” (conveniently hyperlinked here for you as well).

Step Four: Cleansing and charging

This is arguably one of the most important steps in this process. You can have the best material combination in the world but if your crystal isn’t charged, then it isn’t going to work. Take the time to purify and charge all materials before adding them to any magic work, let alone charm work. Here are some good cleansing methods and the best way to charge any item it to leave it out in the sun for a full day.

Step Five: Putting it all together

At this stage you have gathered all your materials, cleansed everything, and charged it with your intent. You can now add the ingredients to the bag. The order I like to use is base, mineral, leafy green, then flower. You can do it anyway you like but I’ve found that this method just looks prettier. When you are adding all the ingredients be sure to visualize yourself succeeding in whatever part of your life you want to improve. Do this work in front of your altar and away from the rest of the world. Find a quiet spot in your head so you can really focus on your life needs.

Take your time. Work with your charm. After a little bit you will be able to feel the energy it is giving off and you will realize every charm has it’s own personality. At the end, tie three knots in the cord to tie up the bag and with each knot think about what you already have. For example if you’re working on a charm to improve your wealth, think about three instances where you are wealthy enough. Thank the universe for the instances and understand that you can still receive more.

Following these steps will hopefully lead you to successful charm work. Take your time and remember everything needs practice.

Blessed Be
