A Simple Guide to Emoji Spells 🔮🕯
Better viewable in mobile because emojis. Updated 28/07/2017
I’ve always seen emoji spells going around but not any how-to’s. Even if it’s easy, it’s useful to have a little guide so here it goes.
How do they work?
Someone else replied this in a text post that was going around, but I’ll say it here too. They are basically like sigils. When doing sigils, you draw something while thinking of the intention and what you’ll use it for, and then you charge it. Emoji spells are like that, but instead of drawing from scratch, you select emojis from a list, always thinking of their purpose. This is because the emojis are preexistent, so you need to carefully choose them for their intention and symbology. This is very important because if not, it would only be a simple string of emojis with no particular meaning or intention; also because there aren’t emojis for everything, so “repurposing” them while thinking of what the symbol means to you and charging it with intent is important.
How do I cast them/charge them?
Most posts say that “reblogs cast, and both likes and reblogs charge it”. So basically, if you’re creating it here or in any site that allows posting in different forms, by posting it you already cast it. Or you can send them to yourself via any messaging app and you just casted your emoji spell. You can also use them as alarm descriptions and have them activated when the alarm goes off (good for waking up for example). Other ideas would be using snapchat, by sending it to someone or just posting it to your story. It has also occured to me that you can use the 24 hour timer to activate it. What I mean is that you can create an emoji spell string with anticipation, post it 24 hours before the intended time of action, have it charged with each view and then released when the 24 hours are up to start acting (this would work well to gain confidence for exams which have a specific starting time, or to gain confidence for a date, or stuff like that). Charging your phone with a crystal on top is a good idea also (for alarms and such things). The possibilities are endless.
What emojis should I use?
Here comes the part I was expecting. Most emoji spells start and end with 🔮 to convey the circle of protection, but this is not necessary if you don’t use them. You can also change the crystal balls with something else you relate to protection (if you’re an earth witch, maybe plants can be your circle, or for fire witches, the fire emoji, and so and so on). You can also use candles 🕯 and really anything you feel will work. Emojis have a HUGE variety for you to choose what will work. Your emoji spells can be as long as you need them to and it can refer to whatever you need them to and program them for a specific time slot using the clock emojis (🕐🕑).
Symmetry in Emoji Spell Strings
Lots of emoji spells out there are symmetric, meaning they have the same emojis and can be “read” the same from left to right or right to left. This is something completetly personal. I like it because it’s pleasing to the eyes and I do it in every chance I can use it, but you don’t have to make them symmetric and not all the time (I have made non-symmetric emoji spells too because of the functionality I wanted, like progression). I don’t believe non-symmetric emoji strings are less effective than symmetric ones; each one has its pros and cons.
Usage ideas:
You can write them in a tweet, as the alarm text, as a calendar entry or even a whatsapp status. Really, wherever you need it.
Here are some emoji spells examples I created for the post:
- To be able to travel somewhere (you can change the flag with the destination of your trip)
🔮🔜💵✈️🛫🌎🇮🇪😊🔮
- To concentrate for exams/study
🔮😖🌀➡️📕📗📘📙📖📝💡😆🔮
- To wake up refreshed and rested
🔮😞😴💤🌕🛌⚡️⚡️☀️😄🔮
- To be productive (you can change the icons to refer to the things you have to do)
🔮😖💪🏼👍🏼💻📩📖📝✍🏼🃏👗😃🔮
- To end the effect of a spell you don’t need anymore (any spell)
🔮🔚🔮
Remember that you can make the icons refer to whatever you need, even if it’s not exactly like the chore (for example, there’s no sewing machine emoji so I used the dress to refer to my sewing project).
