Hey, Diana! I was wondering if there are any spells for beginners? I would like to start practicing, and figured I should start off with some simple spells. Thank you!

THREE SIMPLE & EFFECTIVE SPELLS

Banishing Spell

If there is someone who has been harassing you, ask the powers that be to take them away from your vicinity.

Lock yourself in a bathroom, with a piece of natural paper, a wooden pencil and a black candle in hand.

Light the candle, and write on the paper the name of your villain. Pass the paper over the candle as you recite to the divine the reason you want this person out of your life.

When you are done expressing your worries, burn the paper and stare at it until all of it is ash. Blow out the candle as you thank the higher powers for their assistance. Then throw it away.

The people I have recently given this spell to have seen their abusers getting stuck in faraway places during this coronavirus quarantine.

Problem Solving Spell

If you are facing a dilemma, be it practical, intellectual or moral, ask your higher self for the best solution.

Acquire a small handful of these herbs: rosemary, lemon balm and peppermint. When combined, they invite clarity of mind.

Create a tiny sack from one of your old clothes. It does not have to look beautiful, but you need to sew it yourself. Put the herbs inside it.

Before you sleep, place the sack beneath your pillow, imploring your higher self to help you arrive at the best approach to your problem.

The solution will come to you in your dreams, as a straightforward answer or as symbols that will have a relevant meaning.

Pain Relieving Spell

If you are suffering from pain —physical, emotional or spiritual, activate the healing powers of salt, light and water to cleanse it all away.

On the witching hour, at three o’clock in the morning, run a hot bath for yourself. Place two cups of bath salt in the water.

Light as many tea light candles as the pains you wish to cure: one for your headache, another for your sore legs, a third one for your heavy heart, and so on. Place these candles on the bathtub ledge by your feet.

As you dive in and soak your body, visualize the heat of the water draining away your pains… the sharpness of the salt dissolving them quickly… and the light of the candles melting away any hurt left.

As the warmth of the water fades away, so will your every pain.

Stewed Pompion (Squash soup)

This recipe is a bit more labor intensive than others I’ve posted but it was well worth it in the end and will absolutely make you feel like a medieval maid toiling away over a steaming cauldron (slow cooker).

One of the earliest recipes from the New England region, first written down around 1600:

“But the Housewives manner is to slice them when ripe, and cut them into dice, and so fill a pot with them of two or three gallons, and stew them upon a gentle fire a whole day, and as they sink, they fill again with fresh Pompions, not putting any liquor to them; and when it is stew'd enough, it will look like bak'd apples; this they Dish, putting Butter to it, and a little Vinegar, (with some Spice, as Ginger, &c.) which makes it tart like an Apple, and so serve it up to be eaten with Fish or Flesh.”

Ingredients:

• 4 cups butternut squash meat, chopped into smallish cubes

• 4 cups vegetable broth

• 4 tbsp butter

• 3 tbsp raw or brown sugar

• 1 tsp ground ginger

• 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

• 1/2 tsp curry powder

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

• 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• In a mortar and pestle: 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp cumin seeds, 1/4 tsp rosemary, 1/2 tsp basil, 1/2 tsp salt, a few peppercorns and grind to powder

Part one: Place all of the above ingredients into your slow cooker on low/medium. Once that is going, start on part two.

Ingredients continued:

• 1 tbsp EVOO

• 1 small sweet onion, diced

• 2 carrots, chopped (about 1 cup)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Part two:

In a skillet heat oil and sauté onion until it is becoming translucent. Add the carrots and cook 3 minutes, add garlic and stir for about a minute or two.

Add this to the slow cooker.

Now you can pretty much leave it for the day, begin this process early so it will be ready by dinner time. Give it about 8 hours on low/medium then carefully blend until smooth using an immersion blender or by carefully ladling it into a regular blender.

Return to slow cooker and add 1/4 cup of cream (or half and half for a lighter version), salt and pepper to taste.

Thin with vegetable broth if it becomes too thick.

Vegan substitutions: Swap in vegan butter for butter and canned coconut milk for the cream.

Cleansing Dry Herb Bath

One of my favorite ways to cleanse small objects is to submerge them in an herb bath and leave them overnight. 

Ingredients: 

Dried lavender buds

Dried lemon peels

Dried lime peels

Dried peppermint

Dried sage / thyme / or rosemary 

Sandalwood incense ash

Sea Salt

Instructions: 

Combine ingredients - you may grind them up or leave as is 

Add to small bowl, plate, or dish 

Bury the item you wish to cleanse in this mixture

Leave overnight

Retrieve the item the next day

it’s ok to disappear for a lil while and get your shit together.

🔥 Room Healing Spell 🔥

A spell that can be cast at any moon phase or any time of the day to turn your room into a magick-inducive environment. The perfect spell for baby witches who want to start with spellwork. I created this when I was 12 (2006) and it has been 11 years since then and it’s still effective.

Recommended to Cast During: Any moon phase at any time of the day.

Colors: Black and White

Needed: 

🌿 2 Candles (either white or black)

🌙 An Athame (or any pointed object for engraving a candle)

🌿 A Wand (or any stick that is made from any natural material such as twigs, pencils, wooden chopsticks, selenite crystal, clear quartz wand)

To Cast:

🌿 Light one of the candles.

🌙 Start engraving a protection sigil or any symbolism that you dedicate with strength and protection on the unlit candle.

🌿 Twirl your wand around your engraved candle and say,

“Go away negativity and sway away. Positivity, if you wish to enter, you may.”

🌿 Light the engraved candle and carry it.

🌙 Bring the engraved candle with you and light the four corners of your room moving clockwise (start with north)

🌿 Meditate for 5 minutes after (chakra meditation is recommended or plain floor grounding is alright; that is to lie down completely on the floor)

What To Expect:

🌿 Your room will turn into a much more relaxing environment.

🌙 Negative energy that was collected through time will be diminished.

🌿 Better sleep, better naps, better magick.

🌙 Stronger magick especially for healing and love.

Lavender in Witchcraft

Gender: Feminine (Though this is disputed)

Element: Water and Air

Planets: Neptune and Mercury

Signs: Virgo and Pisces

Deities: Selene

Chakra: Third eye

Represents: Longevity and long life, peace, harmony, love attraction and romance, healing, sleep and dreams, the third eye and psychic abilities, as well as purification and spirit healing.

Some uses for lavender:

- Wear the oil, perfume or essence of lavender as a way to attract men, women -or whatever you are into- towards you. Men especially are attracted towards lavender; prostitutes were  known to wear lavender in ancient times to draw in clients.

- Drink a tea of lavender before doing any mental or psychic work; it is said to increase both mental and psychic abilities.

- Burn it or scatter it around your house to ward off evil spirits; as well as cleanse and raise the vibes.

- Scatter a mixture of lavender and rosemary across your doorway to keep unwanted guests * and that really irritating postman*

-Carry some on or around you (ex: keep a sprig in your purse or pocket, wear some oil of it on yourself, throw some in your sock drawer, etc.) for a longevity in your life.

- Add some into your skincare to bring a youthful glow and essence to your skin and body.
