Free Spells - Wicca Symbols

Wicca symbols can bring more meaning to your spells than you possibly realise. There is certainly so much history behind them, but the importance goes beyond that. The Wicca symbols represent all that you should be aiming to connect with and understanding as a witch or as someone wanting to perform spells.

There are many to go through and I will likely go into more detail about the others as they crop up in following posts. But today I’d like to go into the Wiccan pentacle as it is the core symbol and will give you a good grounding.

Used in so many rituals, the pentacle is the 5 pointed Wiccan symbol to represent earth, air, fire, water and spirit. It brings you together with the universal elements around you and calls on their power to aid you in your spell work, also asking you to give back your own spiritual energies as an offering. You are at one with the world around you and it flows back and forth; giving and receiving.


As it represents the universe around you it is often used to give protection so you can keep a pentacle on your altar as a permanent fixture, constantly providing you with assurance that you are perfectly safe. The pentacle can also be part of a spell ritual and you can include the drawing on the pentacle in the air using an wand or your athame.


One example of how to use a pentacle is in a banishing spell to rid yourself of a negative person or to stop them affecting you. Imagine a pentacle over their body or across their forehead. Imagine the pentacle with a blue, glowing radiance about it (blue also offers psychic protection) and imagine them being distanced or taken back away from you. You will feel their impact diminish.

Free Spells - Free Love Spell For Spring

It is the time of year that thoughts turn to love (in fact that might well have happened to you a few weeks ago!) so I thought a fresh, vibrant love based free spell made for spring was in order. This is best performed on a sunny day when the air feels clear and charged. The sort of day where you can’t help but smile. This will bring all the energy you need to you in order to channel it into your spell.

You will need:
Spring flowers such as daffodils. Small bunch and preferably freshly picked.
White Candle
Lovers Tarot Card
Lavender Incense

This is is a very simple free spell and will not take much experience to perform but obviously it will become more powerful as your skills develop.

So, what you need to do is:

Arrange the flowers in water and place on your workspace and say:
“Blossom of spring
I pray that you bring
Love to make my heart joyful”


Now light your lavender incense and say:
“Air of life
You know who he be
Whisper his presence to me”


Now you need to place your tarot card in front on you and focus on the image of the lovers and visualise this happiness that love will bring to you. Light the candle in honour of the Goddess of love, Aphrodite.

Say:
“O Gods and Goddesses of eternal wisdom
I come to you to ask of your powers
That you can send me a love of special worth and joy
Let him be known to me that I might make this happen


Aphrodite I pray to you to make him true and loving
And bless him with all the temperaments that you know to be right for me
Mote it be!”


Let these thoughts and desires fill your head as you watch the candle and can smell the incense. Let this sense of occasion and excitement surround you channel this energy through to the universe. When you feel that you are at one, you may hand over your trust and allow the higher powers to do your bidding!

Good luck with this week’s free spell! See you soon.

Free Spells - Writing Witch Spells

It occurred to me that, seeing as I had written an article on how to write your own witch spells on another site, I may as well include it here! So click here if you want to know more :)

But if you want a condensed version, here’s a few bullet points on where to start and what to do if attempting your own witch spells:

  • Do not write curses or ‘black’ spells. This will come back to you threefold.

  • You can use rhyme to build rhythm and energy during your spell but it is not essential.
    Keep spells basic until you know what works and what doesn’t.

  • Allow some leeway for the higher powers to give you something better than what you *think* you want, eg. Don’t ask to win money on the lottery and miss out on a cash prize elsewhere!

  • However, do be specific when it comes to the aim of your spell. This will help to guide the powers in exactly the right direction.

  • Include rose quartz, pink candles or the herb basil in your ingredients for love spells
    Ask a Wiccan God or Goddess of your choice to bless you with what you desire. It helps to focus you.

There’s much, much more info in the article so feel free to check it out :)

Free Spells - Psychic Development & How It Helps Witch Spells

Not a free spell as such, but I thought it would be a good time to include how psychic powers can assist you in your spell making.

Many people keep witchcraft and psychic abilities completely separate but I feel that this is a waste of, what combined, can be a very potent force. You can, in my mind, double the impact of your spells by tuning into your extrasensory side.

Undoubtedly psychic development is a course in itself so I will not attempt to go into that here. But if you feel that you have a gift or are interested in using instincts or imagery to power up your spells, here’s a few starting points to get you thinking.

1) Firstly, let your intuition guide you towards the direction your spells should be taking. Has someone been in your thoughts a lot lately? Maybe a spell to send them increased luck or comforting would be good.

2) When writing and casting your spells, add that you would like the subject of the spell to visit your dreams. For example, if you want love you can ask that you increase the connection by dreaming of your heart’s desire. :)

3) Use relevant tarot cards in your rituals. Seeking a good marriage? Try including the 4 of Wands in your spell. Could do with some good luck? Bring in the Wheel of Fortune!

4) Ask your guides to join forces with you and send you their love and energy to assist you in making your spell a success. Don’t forget to thank them afterwards.

5) Use clairvoyant powers to adapt your spells. Dedication to your spell is great, but being too rigid is not. Do not ignore your inner voice if it is telling you that the outcome will not be as you want it to be. Meaning? I have often seen people try to use spell craft to get someone to change, eg. A wayward boyfriend or cheating spouse. Deep down we often know that this is impossible but wishful thinking spurs us on nevertheless. Don’t fall into that trap. Let your intuition guide you and instead redirect the spell to bring the love you deserve into your life.

Hope this helps you to bring something extra into your spell work.

Free Spells - Love Sachets

This week’s free spell is an excellent way to build some love attracting energy around you without needing to go through a complicated ritual. It’s a sachet of herbs especially known for their love powers and just about anyone can make one.

The sachet itself can be made out almost anything; cuts of fabric, muslin cloth, even an old stocking. You just need to add some ribbon, thread or string to tie it up with - it’s as simple as that! You then need to add your material with herbs and there are particular herbs associated with attracting love so you may want to choose from the following:

Hibiscus flower
Blue poppy seed
Jasmine flowers
Lavender flowers
Meadowsweet
Pink Rose Buds

As you can see, flowers are made for love spells!

You can use any one but it is preferable to use a selection. Experiment to find which combinations work best for you (and don’t forget to note your results in your journal/book of shadows!).

As with all spells, you will need to make sure you charge it with some energy for its purpose but this can be done while you make the sachet. As you work, light either a white candle to Aphrodite (the Goddess of love) or a pink candle for love. Visualise the one that you want to be with, or if no one in particular right now, imagine love coming to you and the feelings of joy and warmth etc. Be specific about what you want to get and feel from love.

Now you’ve done your free spell, you can keep it with you or place it under your pillow (thinking of love as you drift off to sleep). But my favourite is to hang it in your wardrobe - particularly good for clothes that you intend to wear on a big date!

Next time, I’m planning on ways to use psychic powers in your free spells so see you then :)

Have fun and LOVE & light!

Free Spell With A Candle!


Last time I wrote of the benefits of using spell candles. This week’s free spell is a spell that uses a candle! Is there a difference I hear you say? Well, yes albeit a nominal one. Spell candles are an excellent way to get started as the process is simple and easy to follow. But what if you have a slightly more complicated favour to ask the universe??


This candle spell guide is designed to get you thinking about writing your own spells and therefore harnessing your own energy and abilities. You achieve this in the process of charging the candle yourself and preparing it for your own needs. How? By writing your own words! You don’t get more of a free spell than one you’ve written yourself! ;)


Do you have something in mind that you would like to happen in your life at the moment? Start focusing on it as this is going to be the basis of your spell. You’re going to turn it into your statement of intent (although I will write about this in more detail in later free spells).


So if say, you want to bring love into your life, you need to write the spell around this. Here’s a very simple example to use as your basis but it is important for you to really think about doing your own as you’ll build so much more energy from it that way. So, anyway, something along the lines of:

Heart be open, heart be fair
Bring me a man who is full of care!
The traits I desire are, strong and true
Aphrodite I bow to you.


You do not have to include the name of a Goddess at this stage but it gives you focus and of course, this gives you potency and strength. In order to perform your spell, light your candle first and think of your heart’s desire. Concentrate on the flame to get yourself in the right frame of mind. Now recite your spell into the flame and let the energy flow between and around you. You may repeat your spell 3 times if you wish, or you can sit in quiet contemplation as the candle burns down.


Hope you have fun working on your spell, - more free spells coming up!

Free Spells With Tarot Cards


As promised, here are some free spells that you can use with tarot cards. Yep, I said I was going to include some, and here they are!

I love these simple rituals and thought they were perfect to include as free spells as you hardly need anything to make them work. They can be used with quite a few tarot cards but the structure is the same for each one, which is as follows:

Place the candle next to the tarot card and focus on them both for 4-5 minutes. During this time, repeat the name of the tarot card 3 times. This incantation will help you to make the changes you need in your life.

As I mentioned, there are quite a few for you to choose from - they may be free spells but the quantity is there ;) Here are the combinations.

Using a dark green candle and the Hanged Man tarot card, you will be able to give your self confidence a boost.

A blue candle and the Emperor will help you to make a success out of your endeavours.

If you are looking to move, or feel the need for some added protection in your life you will need an ivory candle together with the Tower.

Who doesn’t need more money?? Get yourself an orange candle and burn it next to - you may have already guessed- the Wheel of Fortune.

Pink makes the boys wink (apparently) so you’ll need a pink candle for love. Combine with the kindly powers of the Empress.

Purple
is one of my favourite colours as it is so spiritual. It follows that it is the spell candle of wisdom so burn it next to the Hierophant.

If you’re planning on doing some travelling or would like to, get a red candle and select the exciting Chariot card.

White for new beginnings. You’ll also need the Fool card for this, but don’t be put off, there’s more to this chap than meets the eye!

If you’re finding it hard to say what you want to, yellow is the colour for you. Place it next to the Magician.

An important point to end on. When putting out spell candles, use a candle snuffer. This way, you contain all of the energies you have been building up while you have been working. You don’t want to blow them all away do you??!

Enjoy. I’ll be back with more free spells next week :)
