5 Awesome Ways To Cast Spells Without Any Tools

Growing up was a little different in my family. We were nomadic for the majority of my childhood, moving every 6-8 months or so, hopping from place to place following my parents work. We changed cities and states so often I honestly can’t recall all of the places I’ve lived!

Of course, as a kid moving that much is hard. Leaving and re-making friends is tough, changing everything you know is scary and don’t even get me started on the kind of kinks the nomad life can throw into a kids education! All of the craziness aside, I did have some really amazing experiences along the way. Unlike most people I’ve met, I was best friends with my brother, we were practically inseparable as kids. We would go on long family camping trips and disappear up into the mountains (my favorite part of any summer), my brother and I would have more fun on those trips pretending to be pirates with sticks for swords than we ever had at home.

That kind of improvisation was a staple for us growing up. When you move constantly you learn to strip down to the bare essentials, you don’t WANT a lot of stuff because you know that in 3 or 4 months you’re just going to have to pack it all up again and lug it with you to the next place. After years of moving you end up with fairly scant belongings and you get REALLY good improvising and learning to make do with what you have.

Now, as an adult, I’m still a pretty on-the-go kind of person. I’ve never gone more than a year without moving (old habits die hard) and now I’m living on the road for the second time. If my upbringing didn’t turn me into an expert minimalist, my adult life certainly has and that knack for making do with less has definitely influenced how I practice witchcraft.

If I collect every witchcraft related item that I own together it all fits into one small basket, with room to spare. More often than not my spells are whispered incantations, hastily drawn sigils or entirely performed in my head. I have spent months of my life thinking I was a bad witch because I never did “real” spells! What I didn’t realize back then was that I WAS doing real spells and I was doing them VERY well because I was managing to produce powerful magical results with NO tools or ingredients.

What Kinds of spells can be done without tools?

Can you banish without tools? What about healing spells? Can you cleanse a room without using anything at all?

The answer is yes, pretty much across the board. If you can think up a spell it can probably be done without tools. It is important to consider your own tendencies and limitations though! Just because it can technically be done, doesn’t mean that YOU can do it. For example, I’m great at healing spells and protective enchantments but I find that in order to perform a banishing spell with real oomph I need to use my tools.

Magic requires imagination and will, without a lot practice in these disciplines it’s hard to manage all magic without tools. You’ll likely have success with some right off that bat and find other kinds of spells quite challenging. This is something you’ll have to tinker and experiment with to figure out your personal preferences.

5 Awesome Ways To Cast Spells Without Any Tools or Ingredients

1. Sigils

Ok, so sigils technically require you to have something to write with and something to write on BUT you can find pens just about anywhere (the bank, your waitress, a friend, etc.) and if no paper is available I know plenty of us just resort to scribbling them on our arms or receipts so I still think it counts.

Sigils are an amazing way to cast spells quickly and easily with very little fuss. As Frater U.D. puts it in Practical Sigil Magic, “The advantages of this method… are obvious. It is temptingly easy, and with only a little practice it may be performed ay any time and at any place.”

Once you’ve designed a sigil you can keep the design and reuse it as many times as you need, many witches find that they end up with a repertoire of tried and true sigils that they either keep readily available to copy and use from their phones or from memory.

2. Written & Spoken Spells

Written and spoken spells are a favorite of mine. They’re quick, you can improvise them on the fly and there are so many was to utilize them! A lot of people feel like incantations have to be long and they have to rhyme and while I do love a good rhyming incantation in my rituals you definitely DON’T have to rhyme to make your spells effective. Simply jotting down or whispering your intention can be incredibly effective.

You could also empower your words in conversation. Going to a job interview? Pull a little sweetening magic into your words. Talking with a friend about your dreams? Add some intent behind your words so that your dreams will quicken into reality.

My main tip for this form of spellwork is to never phrase these spells in the negative. Because these spells are so freeform it can be easy to get your messages mixed and if you focus on what you don’t want you might just get a whole lot more of the very thing you’re trying to get rid of. Instead focus your words on what you DO want!

3. Imagination

Any kind of imaginative exercise can be turned into a spell and you don’t have to limit yourself to simple visualization. I know plenty of witches who can’t or don’t like to visualize so if visualization isn’t your thing, don’t sweat it! You could also imagine sounds, sensations, colors, concepts or anything else that you feel will bring about the result you desire.

When casting spells this way it’s always best to get as specific as possible. The more thought and effort you pour into your imaginative spell the more power you give it and the better the result will be.

4. Emotionally Driven Spells

This is the most common kind of “accidental” magic and the same kind of magic behind the evil eye! To use it, you harness the power of your emotions to bring your intent into being.

Obviously there are a few caveats to this type of spell casting, the first is that you have to be feeling some pretty strong emotions to make it work. If you want to cast a spell for happiness but you don’t feel happy you won’t get far. Likewise if you’re trying to hex someone but you feel pretty ambivalent about it the spell will likely be a flop.

The second caveat is that this is a highly volatile type of magic, you won’t have quite as much control over the strength of the spell or how the results are achieved. If you’re not worried about the spell being overzealous or unpredictable then this is a great way to cast spells when you’re in the heat of the moment.

5. Enchanting

Enchanting is essentially just turning normal things into magical things. Anything can be enchanted for any purpose which makes this a highly versatile form of magic. There are many ways to do this but the simplest method is to program your item by channeling your intent into it and then charging the item when the spell is needed by feeding it energy from yourself or some other source.

Enchanting items works best if the item holds some relation in your mind to the intent you wish it to hold. A pen or pencil for sweetening words. A compact mirror for beauty. A compass for travel spells. The relation doesn’t have to be direct though, if you have personal associations that are perhaps stronger than traditional associations that an object might hold don’t be afraid to experiment.

See? You definitely don’t need a bunch of fancy tools, ingredients or gadgets to be a witch! You can practice magic any time, anywhere, regardless of what you have on hand. You just have to get creative!

Lost Something?

Here’s a quick and easy spell I always use when I’m having trouble finding a lost object.

Stand in a clear space in the room where you’re searching, look up at the ceiling, and clap your hands three times.

Household spirits, gather round Let now what is lost be found

Let your gaze fall where it will. Check for the lost item in the first place that draws your attention.

I use this often. It never fails. Seriously. Works. Every. Time.

It helps to leave out some sweets or a glass of juice or wine every so often to keep those little helper spirits happy.

Scary, scary.

[tres-calicos-deactivated2024032]

Gonna add on to this: From the other side of the bar, I see this crap all the time. Seriously. I work at a high-density bar, and let me tell you, I have anywhere from 10-20 guys every night come up and tell me to, “serve her a stronger drink, I’m trying to get lucky tonight, know what I mean?” usually accompanied with a wink and a gesture at a girl who, in my experience, is going to go from mildly buzzed to definitively hammered if I keep serving her. Now, I like to think I’m a responsible bartender, so I usually tell guys like that to piss off, and, if I can, try to tell the girl’s more sober friends that they need to keep an eye on her. But everyone- just so you know, most of the time, when someone you don’t know is buying you a drink, they’re NOT doing it out of a sense of cordiality, they’re buying you a drink for the sole purpose of making you let your guard down. So:

Tips for getting drinks-

1. ALWAYS GO TO THE BAR TO GET YOUR OWN DRINK, DO NOT LET STRANGERS CARRY YOUR DRINKS. This is an opportune time for dropping something into your cocktail, and you’re none the wiser.

2.IF YOU ORDER SOMETHING NON-ALCOHOLIC, I promise you, the bartender doesn’t give two shits that you’re not drinking cocktails with your friends, and often, totally understands that you don’t want to let your guard down around strangers. Usually, you can just tell the bartender that you’d like something light, and that’s a big clue to us that you’re uncomfortable with whomever you’re standing next to. Again, we see this all the time.

3. If you’re in a position to where you feel uncomfortable not ordering alcohol:

Here’s a list of light liquors, and mixers that won’t get you drunk, and will still look like an actual cocktail:

X-rated + sprite = easy to drink, sweet, and 12% alcoholic content. Not strong at all, usually runs $6-$8, depending on your state.

Amaretto + sour= sweet, not strong, 26%.

Peach Schnapps+ ginger ale= tastes like mellow butterscotch, 24%.

Melon liquor (Midori, in most bars) + soda water = not overly sweet, 21%

Coffee liquor (Kahlua) +soda = not super sweet, 20%.

Hope this helps someone out!

How To Create A Charm For Safe Travels

If you’ve seen anything from me in the recent weeks you’ll know that I’ve gone a little (read: a lot) travel-crazy. I’ve started my long term road trip and it’s all I’ve been able to think about! Along with the crazy excitement that’s had me bouncing through life like I’m on a perpetual sugar high there’s packing lists swimming through my head, decisions to be made about where I’m going, and of course there’s the concern about safety!

What traveler doesn’t worry about safety? Whether you’re going by plane, by car or by some other method (broomstick anyone?), safety is paramount. You never want to be caught unawares in a bad situation! This charm wards the traveler against three common travel dangers: getting stranded, physical harm, and theft.

YOU WILL NEED:

An item to charm: This should be something small and easy to carry with you. A compass would be ideal but you could also use a trinket to hang in your vehicle or a piece of jewelry to wear when you travel.

Black Salt to ward against theft

Bay Leaf for protection

Chamomile for luck

Two small candles (tea lights work nicely)

A small bowl

Begin by cleansing yourself and the charm item. Set up your altar with the two candles placed a foot or more apart, the bowl between them. Light the candles.

Pour your black salt into the bowl, as you do so saying, “I am guarded from thieves.”

Place the bay leaf into the bowl and say, “I am protected from all that would harm”

Sprinkle the chamomile into the bowl saying, “My footsteps are led by luck”

Set your charm into the bowl as well. With your dominant hand slide the bowl to the left until it nearly touches the candle. Slowly slide the bowl to the right so that it “travels” to the other candle and say the first line of the incantation below. Slide it back to the left and recite the second line, then right again as you say the third line. For the final line of the incantation center the bowl between the candles again.

“From here to there does safety follow

There and back it follows still

Out again my steps may lead me

And safely so, as is my will.”

Allow the candles to burn themselves out. Remove the now charmed item and keep the herbs and salt in the bowl. Before leaving on any trip sprinkle a small handful of the leftover herbs and salt outside your doorstep and walk over it as you leave.
