Hi, i had an odd question. When I'm working spells, is it weird or wrong that I'm drawn more to playing/singing a song while working instead of saying/chant an actual spell? The songs i use always feel right to me, for the situation, but it still feels a little odd. Also, thank you so much for running this blog. It's helped me learn so much, and your links and masterposts save me from the depths of unhelpful google searches ^_^
Hey there the-all-nerd! Thanks for the question <3
Not at all, hello my musical kin! I constantly use songs for my spells; I find that music is a great magickal booster, because it triggers such deep emotions in humans to begin with. Since you’re already seeking out and using songs that already work for each situation and for you, then you probably already intuitively know that this is a method that works for you. My advice here would be to work with this method until it begins to feel like second-nature, rather than slightly odd. If it works, it’s not odd. Or, well, even if it is, it shouldn’t matter. Embrace the odd ^_^
Also, always remember that not every method works for every witch; if speaking and chanting doesn’t feel right, don’t use it! Technically, you don’t even need to sing - when you listen to a song, you automatically sing along in your head. You can’t help it, if you’re paying attention. Or maybe that’s just me, in which case please tell me cause I had no idea it wasn’t like that for everyone lol
You may also be interested in my Music Spells tag; a lot of my own original spells are set to songs as well (I wasn’t joking!) so I’ll hopefully be adding more and more over the next few weeks, along with the customary reblogs ^_^
And - thank you so much! I’m really glad that this blog has been able to help you with your witchy studies; helping another witch to learn something is one of the best things I could do in any given day, in my opinion <3
I hope that helps to answer your question! Good luck with your musical witchery ^_^
