Basic spells for novice witches and ways to create a spell
Creating your first spell can sometimes be difficult and overwhelming when it's hard to find reliable resources on the creation of spells and types of spells you can do as a novice. I'll cover the ways you can create a spell and give you some ideas which you can do as a beginner. In terms of spells, nothing is closed to a novice so long as you do the research for it. Here we go!
There are loads of ways of creating spells from quick ways such as jars, dressed candles, cauldron spells, sigils to long complex rituals, theres no right or wrong way to create a spell. I'll cover some of the simplest ways to do one here.
Jars- jars are one of the simplest ways to do a spell. They usually involve filling a jar with ingredients and sealing them in some way- usually with coloured wax corresponding to the spell (E.g. black for protection, red for strength etc) Ingredients for these usually include; herbs, petition papers, ashes of a sigil, crystals, precious metals, glass etc. Simply choose what corresponds with your intention and add it to the jar. These jars can be worn as jewellery, placed around your home, buried in your yard, placed on your altar, carried on your person. This also applied to bags and poppet magick.
Dressed candles- dressed candles are another very simple way to do a spell. Dressed candles involve dressing a candle with herbs which correspond to your intention and burning the candle down. Ways to get your ingredients to stick are; melting with wax or using an oil (eg olive oil).
Sigils- sigil magick is a very common form of magick used to create a spell. And ways to create a sigil are endless. They can be little elaborate pieces of work or simply just a few lines drawn and programmed with intention. These sigils are usually burned to activate, however non fire alternatives include: ripping them up, using an oil to activate, sticking them up around your home etc.
Enchanting- enchanting deserves a spot on it's own and if you scroll further down my page, there will be a post I have reblogged explaining some of the ways to do enchanting.
Creating oils and sprays- using oils in your spells is a great way yo add more to your spells. Creating an oil usually involves infusing a base oil such as olive oil with ingredients according to your intention. The same applies to sprays here. Sprays can be used in your room for a variety of different purposes. Whether they be cleansing, banishing, adding a layer of protection etc.
Kitchen magick- kitchen magick is a great way to create a spell without it being too obvious. This makes it perfect for witches who are closeted for whatever reason. You can add intention into the food you cook or bake to create some great spells. This also applies to teas.
There are multiple things used in a spell aside from the method of doing them, this usually will depend on the witch and thier practice. Some use colour magick, cosmic magick, use days of the week and magical hours, some might involve the deities they work with or might ask a deity for help in a spell (this also applies to other entities) and much more.
The ways a practitioner will do a spell will change and develop according to thi6er practice. You might find that some ways of creating a spell dont work for you compared to other ways. The ways to do a spell are infinite and the ways listed above are just some simple and easy ways to do them.
