✨ Enchanting Objects ✨

Enchanting is basically the combination of focused intention, connection, and time to create an object with a centered purpose. Here is my method of enchanting household objects that don’t have religious or specific ritual purposes.

Start with a specific goal/concept (protection, healing, energizing, etc) in mind. Connect with the object physically (either by holding it in your hands or even wearing it as normal) and focus on that intention- push it into the object. If you cannot visualize- that’s okay! You can do tactilely (rub or kiss the object!), play music, place pictures on the object that you associate with the goal (sigils, or even pictures of things like fire, armor, healing herbs, hearts, hugs, etc.), you can even use scents with oils and incense!

The more intensely and longer you visualize or methodize with the intention, the more powerful it will be.

You can use sigils, herbs, stones that correspond to your intention to help with the focus but they aren’t required. Especially with textiles you could stitch in sigils or herb packets to help enchant if you’d like!

Take the time to really fill the object with this intention. You can also visualize a reaction it’s suppose to have if your enchantment works like that (I have a ring that sends out energy spikes if I’m attacked). Or use a tactile example like striking, hugging, pushing, etc.

Just like filling a glass versus a pitcher with water, the larger the object the longer the enchanting takes. This should be an enjoyable focused time. Akin to meditation, don’t try to do this when you’re stressed or upset or can’t have the level of privacy you need.

Once you’re finished, I recommend giving the object some grounding time to acclimate while you ground and center as well!

Some ideas of things to enchant around your house:

stand mixers

blankets and pillows

jewelry

clothing, hats, coats

dishwasher

toaster oven

mattresses, cribs

washer and dryer

pet collars, dishes, and toys

childrens’ toys, lotions, soaps

electronics (laptops, phones, consoles)

Many many more things I haven’t listed!

Happy enchanting!

Where Next?

I’ve been learning so much lately and I’ve been relatively passive about it so far. However, I’d like to share some of what I know, now that I feel more confident in my craft, and I’m going to let you guys tell me what you’re interested in. I generally specialize in

--Warding

--Energy Work

--Protection of all kinds

--Magickal Theory

--Herbalism

--Lore/Festivals/Legends/Holidays/Significances

--Sigils

--Ritual Magick/Spell Creation

--Charming Jewelry/other objects (usually classed under Protection)

I’m expanding my own horizons constantly, and I’m looking to branch into spirit work and maybe healing as well. Let me know what you guys would like to hear me ramble about and I’ll see what I can come up with.

How to Charm Objects

You can charm almost anything, a blanket to help with insomnia, a bracelet to bring luck, nail polish for beauty or attraction, it doesn’t really matter.

The easiest way to charm an object is to first think about specifics. What do you want the object to do, what ability will it possess? Be as precise as you can WITHOUT using the names of people, specific week days, exact abilities.

(In example. If the charm is supposed to protect you from a certain bully, use the word ‘bully’ instead of the bully’s name so the charm can protect you from all bullies.)

Let’s say that someone, in this case her name will be Mary because why the fuck not, wants to charm a necklace so that people can’t see her. Of course she knows that she won’t actually turn invisible, but she will go more easily unnoticed by others.

Mary will cleanse her necklace of negative energies for a few hours, or maybe even a few days.

Put your item in a bowl and bury it in salt.

Once Mary feels like the negativity is gone, she’ll charge it with her energy.

You do this by holding your item in your hands so that they’re clasped around it completely, like this. () Feel the warmth of your hands flowing into the item, that’s your energy.

Now, Mary will write a poem/spell for her necklace. She wants to be unseen while wearing her necklace.

“Maybe she’ll write 'Like a shadow Gone unseen, wandering eyes lose my gleam, up down betwixt between, like a shadow Bring me invisibility.’”

She’ll burn the paper and set it in a fireproof bowl, then dangle the necklace in the flames and heat.

You can be as creative as you want, just make sure you know your intentions, and find a unique way to cast them onto your object. I hope this helped!?
