Here’s a simple, versatile ritual that I do weekly…my favorite ways to practice witchcraft involve incorporating magic into the mundane, and this is a great example of that!
You can charge your polish with any intent – some examples are glamours (such as beauty or confidence), luck, focus/concentration (great for exams or finals week!), protection, energy, or simply for enhancing your own magical power!
🌹 Start by using nail polish remover, and visualize that as the old polish is wiped away, so is the accumulated negativity and stress from the previous week. (If you don’t have any nail polish on a substitute could simple be washing your hands clean!) I like to charge my nail polish remover beforehand with crystals that have cleansing and purifying properties, such as clear quartz, amethyst, selenite, and celestine.
🌹Next, choose the color of nail polish you wish, and charge it with your desired intent. There are many ways to do this – usually, my preferred method is simply to charge the bottle with crystals matching my intent. If you have the time and patience, drawing sigils underneath your polish is another great way to channel energy. And of course, you could use color correspondences, just like you would with candles! Use the correspondences that work best for you, but here’s a basic list of some of my personal color associations!
Pink: Love, Beauty
Red: Confidence, Strength
Orange: Energy, Success
Yellow: Focus, Positivity
Green: Luck, Prosperity
Blue: Wisdom, Peace
Purple: Inspiration, Psychic Ability
Black: Protection, Banishing
Gray: Calm, Stability
White: Clarity, Purification
🌹While waiting for my polish to dry, I’ll take a few minutes to meditate. I’ll put on a calming Spotify playlist, light a candle, and just take a moment to clear my mind and focus on my breathing. (It goes without saying, but of course use common sense and don’t let your candle get too close to flammable nail polish/remover!)
🌹After your nail polish has dried, finish with a top coat to “seal” the intent and help it last longer. Again, you can enhance the polish’s strength and protection properties by charging the bottle with crystals such as tiger’s eye, hematite, or black onyx (yes, I know, I use my crystals for just about everything…)
*As a side note, I know there are several posts about nail polish magic floating around, so please know that I am not trying to claim that the entire concept is an original idea – this is just my personal ritual! 💖
Simple things you can do to bring more love and positivity into the world:
enchant the bus or train you’re on, so that everybody has a pleasant day or a safe travel home
paint protective sigils in the misty windows of buses or shops when it rains, and leave words of encouragement and praise on public bathrooms’ mirrors
bless passing ambulances and firefighter trucks with speed and safety for their patients/destination
wear an enchanted lipstick/gloss for your smile to brighten the day of everybody you meet
enchant your spare change so that it gives luck to the beggars you donate it to; they need it, don’t they?
actually, just enchant your money, so that retail and low-wage workers can have a better day when they serve you
leave blessed acorns and harmless trinkets in various places like buses or waiting rooms; give other people something to wonder about and make their day, and kids an item to roll in their hands mindlessly
bless food and leave it for stray animals; let birds be messangers of hope and miraclous event for everybody that sees them
whisper encouragement to trees and grass you pass by; let them know someone cares, someone sees their beauty, and awaits their bloom
smile at children and pets; provide them with the positive energy that the world is trying to kill in them
leave motivational notes, praise and silly drawings charged with love and hope on post-it notes as you go; they can brighten the day of those that find them
– Write safety sigils on the bottom of your shoes/tuck sigil papers into them so as you walk you won’t get lost and every step will make those around you safer and happier. – With cement/driveway chalk, write sigils on street corners and at parks for litter prevention and safety at night.
Great additions!
I LOVE this post! Such great ideas.
– I’d also like to add blessing various flowers, especially ones that bees and butterflies are known to like. – Enchating your money also for tips with the intent that they get more tips throughout the day for their service. – Writing safety/protection sigils on the doors or walls of public restrooms (especially in high crime areas such as my own where women are often victimized in.) – Sprinkling eggshell powder for plants in public areas to give them a boost (i don’t want to mess with other’s personal plants without permission.) – Blessing all gifts I give to people with positive energy that goes beyond the gift itself.
Somebody please fucking enchant me with the motivation to finish packing my entire apartment.
Ugh okay fine
Anoint a drawing of an eye with basil and pepper. Tack the drawing above your workspace, or in my case, directly next to my comfy chair where I sit when I’m not packing.
The eye is watching you. It’s watching you not packing up your apartment. It won’t do anything but watch, but it will only be satisfied when it sees you finish your task.
Scribble it out when you’re done to send the eye on its way.
I’m not sure if you intended this impromptu spell to have scientific backing, but it actually does.
We absolutely behave differently–and, more importantly, in the ways we think we “should” be behaving at the time–if we think we are being watched.
I see what you (possibly unintentionally) did there. Pun fully intended.
acquire sun water. imo this doesn’t take long since the sun’s energy is really potent, but if you want to leave it until sunset, you can! use a small container that you can close/lid temporarily.
pour in cinnamon OR whatever you have that you can associate with monetary success. you can add as much as you want! AND add coins. at least one of each size in your nation’s currency, if possible!
shake the container gently while focusing on your wish. let the contents settle while you hold it, and then put it down in a corner. keep it there until it feels right.
take the coins out and dry them. place them around your house, perhaps in the corners nearest to your doors or windows. (using one in a transaction will also bring good luck.)
end: wealth attraction charms ❤ also, i associate money/success spells with early saturday afternoon and monday morning, but any time will do!
