SpellWork: The Practical Magic of Using Charms in Your Daily Life

You might already be a witch. You could have enough spells to fill a grimoire of your own! But because you don’t believe in magic or—worse–yourself, you don’t maximize your power.

SpellWork is a direct reflection of my witchcraft practice. I’m not a traditional witch, and belong to no coven—think of me as a lone hedge witch.

You might already be a witch. You could have enough spells to fill a grimoire of your own! But because you don’t believe in magic or—worse—yourself, you don’t maximize your power. I see this all the time.

Using Magic Without Realizing It

Do you like necklace pendants, charm bracelets, keychains, bag charms, or figurines you keep at your work desk? You could also have a clear phone case and keep cards or photos on the back. Or you could have a car or computer decorated with stickers. Maybe you had a favorite stuffed toy when you were younger. Do any of these sound like familiar habits?

When you hold on to something with no real purpose for days, weeks, months, or years, you create a vessel for your power. I’ll put it another way—if you choose a bag charm because you think it’s cute, and it cheers you up when you see it every day and are reminded of how you find it cute, it becomes a vessel that captures that feeling. Here’s the shortcut: You find it cute, which makes you happy—so every time you see it, it helps you manifest happiness. It’s a relatively harmless spell that is recreated over and over without the realization that magic’s involved.
