A lot of witchcraft seems to be focused on visualisation as a means of imbuing things with magic, energy work seems almost entirely written to suit those who can visualise images. I am extremely tactile, I am a touchy feely person with busy hands so I decided to share how I “enchant” items.
Enchantment in my book means to take an object and make it magical, whether it be a charm, a ward, an agent of the spell itself.
Kissing things – your lips are far more sensitive than your fingers, they are also very close to your nose so you can incorporate smell into this, too. Take the item, and bring it too your lips gently, place a plush firm kiss whilst focusing on planting your into into the item.
Stroking or brushing – I have heard people try knot magic by braiding their hair, my hair is too short for this, but you could start by brushing your hair. Really smoothing it out, deeply brushing hair or even fur is a great way to transfer magic from your mind to the hands to the object, brushing is very therupeutic and could almost be a trance inducing activity. When I had hair I could sit on, it was a wonderful sensory experience to hand brush it after a wash.
You could also feel the surface of your item by smoothing it with you hands, really get to know the texture, let the magic explore the grain of the wood, the crevices in the stone or the cool touch of the metal.
Crumbling something – You could do this with breadcrumbs for kitchen magic or a bath bomb for bath magic (I wouldn’t crumble a bath bomb imo but I have heard some people prefer to do that.) Guide your intent to your hands and let it over whelm the object in your palms.
Stepping on something – This could be very destructive and great for curses.
Walking around it – Walking around an object features a lot in folk lore, perhaps you could use it to slowly build up intent and magical energy within you?
Throwing or juggling – Juggling is a great skill to learn and I can well and truly say kinetic energy is magical very powerful, throwing and catching something in the air until your satisfied is a fantastic way of enchantment, the weight as you catch it in your hand and watching it fly in the air is just fantastic.
Rubbing it to give it body heat – This is very physical, you can feel the warmth you’ve transferred to this object and its very responsive as well.
Hello there! I had an idea I wanted to share with you guys!! I know music really helps me in my craft, and in my whole life in general. So I present to you the idea of EnChants. Essentially it’s a little piece of a melody you can hum or chant to enhance, just about anything really! I was humming this while cleansing and thought I’d write it down to share!
If anyone is interested I was thinking of maybe offering to create personal ones as commissions?? (maybe like two dollars or a short little thing like this?) But otherwise to my musical magical friends, have fun with the concept!
is it possible to put good energy into a necklace? i want to buy my friend a necklace, im new to all this, im wondering how can i put good energies into it? im not sure what its called either hh
Yes this is absolutely possible. I do it all the time. Magic users generally call this enchanting.
I have a formula for enchanting a piece of jewelry that can be used for almost any intent. (I know it seems like a lot to do, but it really isn’t that complicated or hard to perform; I’m just really thorough and focus on details, and most of this is just prep.)
Jewelry Enchantment Spell
Preparation / Set-Up
Think about the kinds of energies or properties you want to enchant the jewelry with (happiness, peace, positivity, calming, etc.).
Create a sigil that matches your intent; an example would be “this [jewelry] is charged with the potent energies of [intent],” but feel free to come up with something that suits you better. (For extra energy, draw the sigil in a color that matches your intent; “default” is black.)
Determine what crystals match your intent. Pick four of one crystal, or two of two different kinds of crystals. Personal correspondences are also important. If you do not have crystals, or do not wish to use them, feel free to leave them out.
Pick at least three herbs that correlate to your intent, though you may use more if you wish; you will also need sea salt. Dried would be optimal, as you will be burying the piece of jewelry in them. Personal correspondences are also important.
If you feel it is necessary, cleanse your piece of jewelry (or yourself) before you begin.
Performing the Spell
Prep for spellwork in the way you normally do (meditate, cleanse your space, cast a circle, set up your altar / workspace, invoke any deities / spirits, light candles or incense, play mood-setting music, etc.).
Draw a circle on a piece of paper, large enough to fit a medium size bowl (a cereal bowl works fine). In the center of the drawn circle, draw your sigil. Place your bowl over the sigil. Place your candles at the top, bottom, left and right of the circle. If you wanted to use crystals, put one between each of the candles; if you used two different types of crystals, place the matching ones across from each other diagonally. Your set up should look something like this:
If you wish to, draw the squares connecting the candles to each other, and the crystals if you used them, though it isn’t necessary.
Light your candles. If you used crystals, pick them up (individually or as a group), and charge them with your intent. Take as long as you feel is necessary.
Set the piece of jewelry in the bowl. Prepare your herbs to be added – you will want equal parts of each herb and the sea salt, enough to cover the jewelry completely when it’s in the bowl. As you hold each herb in your hand, before adding it to the bowl, state its purpose, and fill it with your intent.
Once all the herbs are in the bowl, use your dominant hand to stir the ingredients clockwise. Channel your energy and intent towards your desire into the herbs and the jewelry itself. Visualize what things might be like with more of that attribute present in your life.
Continue this for as long as you think is necessary, however long until you feel the jewelry is adequately charged. Remove the jewelry, and wipe any herbs or powder from it with a dry cloth. Blow out the candles, then dispose of the rest of the herbs. (You can also keep them for use in other spells relating to your intent.)
Recharge the jewelry once a month, either with the same method, or purely with your own energy.
