enchanted paper chain spell ✈️

this spell combines the paper chain (counting down to christmas as a child, anyone?) with magick to maintain a healthy and loving long-distance friendship or relationship until you meet again 💞

materials:

pink paper (partnerships, romance, new beginnings, compassion)

pen

scissors

tape or stapler

white candle (cycles of life and change, transformation, connection to self)

rose petals (lasting relationships, divine love)

apple seeds (healing, luck, sexuality)

rose quartz

clear quartz

method:

cut strips out of the  paper and on each strip, write the number of days (in descending order) until you see your loved one. as you cut, meditate on the pain and release of breaking up the present form to build something stronger and more beautiful.

use the tape/stapler to link the strips into one another. the final strip (1 day left) should be at the end. the act of connecting the chain links acts as a binding you to your loved one, but only day by day - never longer than desired. 

lay the completed chain in a circle on the ground. in the middle of the circle, place the candle and crystals and sprinkle the rose petals and apple seeds. as you place the items in the circle and light the candle, recite the words: In this paper chain, I hold the endless cycles of death and rebirth. Mother Moon, please fill the space between my loved one and I with compassion, honesty, understanding, and tenderness. Assist us through this difficult parting and allow us to grow as a unit and as individual parts during this time. I ask for the understanding that everything is ever changing and that this pain is temporary. As I break each link from the chain, let me be filled with the hope of the new day and allow me to nurture myself and my partner. 

charge the chain link under the moon and then hang the enchanted chain from somewhere visible in your home! remove one chain link every day until you see your loved one again.

When you need a little bit more love in your life, whether that be from a family member, a friend, or to help attract a lover (not a specific person, you do not want to bend the will of others!!!)

Ingredients:

Directions:

🍑 Roughly chop the peaches after removing the pits

🍑 Cut the strawberries in quarters

Magickal Moon

The moon has been a magickal presence for thousands and thousands of years. Ancestors of multiple cultures believed it had some spiritual significance. Science has helped us understand the moon and it’s effect on Earth, and astronauts who have visited the moon returned having a more spiritual connection, exploring religious or metaphysical beliefs more in depth. 

Moon Phases and Magick 

There are numerous spells you can perform while under the different phases of the moon. One simple ritual can be done to perform all the spells listed here by taking a small white candle to the window and gazing at the moon. Say your wish aloud and with feeling, then leave the candle to burn down and extinguish itself. (Remember to never leave a lit candle near a window unattended completely, or place it near a curtain). 

The Full Moon

The moon and its phases were once theorized to interfere with our internal chemistry by exerting gravitational forces on our bodies, or that the moon’s gravitational fields caused electrical particles to fall down to Earth further interfering with the function of the brain. Many scientific studies have attempted to disprove this notion, as well as invalidating the belief that crimes and mental instability (such as lunatic) increased during full moons. The full moon does not have any negative connotations in the magickal world, it is just considered a very powerful time of the month. Fridays that fall on full moons, for example, are perfect days for casing love spells. If you try to cast a love spell during any other moon phase, it doesn’t mean it won’t work, but the results could take longer. 

There are lots of other spells that can be cast during the benefit of a full moon also:

Protecting property and home

Adding vigor to your life

Anything to do with love

Increasing self-confidence

Advancing in career and work 

Enhancing psychic ability/clairvoyance

Strengthening friendships and family bonds

Performing general good-luck spells 

The Waxing Moon

During the waxing moon, witches like to cast spells for improving situations or getting things going if they have been stuck for a while. This is a good phase of the moon to help kick-start your life. The following spells are fast-acting during a waxing moon:

Moving forward from depression

Getting out of a rut

Passing exams and tests

Finding lost objects

Healing a sick animal or finding a lost pet 

Nurturing abundant, healthy gardens and the well-being of nature

Losing weight or stopping smoking 

The Waning Moon

The waning moon is perfect to cast spells for getting ride of negative energies that sometimes hang over your life. If you cast a spell during this moon phase, you will gain the power to take control again, strengthen weak areas, and become more assertive in actions. Cast spells during a waning moon for:

Developing inner strength and assertiveness

Banishing enemies

Stopping arguments 

Soothing unruly children 

Calming anxiety 

Getting out of tricky situations 

The New Moon

This lunar experience is appropriate for just about any spell. The new moon phase surrounds us with positive energy and can be a catalyst for immediate change. Transitions in life happen naturally around a new moon phase anyway, such as new jobs or births. To revolutionize your life during this time, cast spells for:

Career changes

Moving house swiftly and easily

Safe and enjoyable travel

Increasing your cash flow

Better health

Conceiving

Women and the Moon

In many early religions, the moon was worshipped as a goddess, and it has always been seen as a feminine symbol. The moon orbits at a distance of approximately 238,855 miles from Earth, and takes about 28 days to complete its orbit. In an interesting comparison, the amount of time between female menstrual cycles is the same amount of days. 

Moons and Moods

Our demeanor changes depending on what the moon is doing. If you are interested in studying your own changes, keep a Book of Shadows about how you feel during each passing phase. Certain situations can naturally occur during certain phases, also. Animals may be affected by the full moon phase, and can become a bit more rambunctious. So if you’re a witch with felines, keep catnip at hand. 

The Dark or Void of the Moon

During the dark moon, when the face of the moon is hidden, it is also known as the “dead” moon. It takes place precisely three days before a new moon, and is considered to be the most magickal and potent of all the phases. Many individuals who partake in black magick do so during this time. People using dark magick can influence any spells or rituals that you may be performing. Their collective power can cause cosmic havoc: our spells may become confused or simply not work at all. It is advised to be experienced wand wavers to attempt rituals at this time.

The Elements and their correspondences

E A R T H

Earth represents strength, grounding, prosperity, the material, wealth, success, foundations, death and rebirth. Focus on this element if the goal of your spell is about fertility, prosperity, business or stability. Earth spells may take longer to work, but they’re also more firm and are good if you’re looking for long-term solutions.

GENDER: Feminine SEASON: Winter DIRECTION: North HOUR: Night

COLOURS: Green, Brown, Black ANIMALS: Bears, Deers, Wolves, Badgers HERBS/PLANTS: Ivy, Ash, Vetiver, Wheats, Oats INSTRUMENTS: Drums (Percussion instruments)

A I R

Air represents intellect and the mind, wisdom, knowledge; logic as well as abstract thought, intuition and higher consciousness. If you’re seeking freedom, travels, or to enhance your memory and focus - focus on Air spells! Air is whimsical and amiable, personally I haven’t found it useful for more serious spells, but it does wonders for my studies. 

GENDER: Masculine SEASON: Spring DIRECTION: East HOUR: Dawn

COLOURS: Yellow, White, Sky Blue, Pastels ANIMALS: Birds, Spiders, Butterflies HERBS/PLANTS: Lavender, Birch, Vervain, Dill, Aspen INSTRUMENTS: Flute (Wind instruments)

F I R E

Fire represents energy, passion, purification, love, inspiration, desire, will, courage, power, leadership, sexuality. In spellcraft, focusing on Fire is good for purification, healing and love spells; it’s the best element for quick, strong spells. Although, Fire is fierce in essence, and Fire spells are susceptible - they should be well thought out.

GENDER: Masculine SEASON: Summer DIRECTION: South HOUR: Noon

COLOURS: Red, Orange, Gold ANIMALS: Snakes, Lions, Horses HERBS/PLANTS: Cacti, Cinnamon, Pepper, Basil INSTRUMENTS: Guitar (Stringed instruments)

W A T E R

Water represents purification as well; though it’s focused more on the soul and the subconscious rather than the physical, material world. Water stands for emotion, intuition, wisdom, eternal movement, reflection, lunar energy. Focusing on the Water element is good for psychic abilities, getting in tune with your inner self, mysteries, friendships, love, dreams and sleep.

Binders are cheaper than blank books and make great grimoires
