Simple Charms and Spells


Welcome to the charms and spells page! This is a rather meager collection, intended principally to provide examples of how spells can be written. There is an interesting two-fold nature to the practice of using other people's spells. Many witches will tell you that this is a big "no-no" and that you must always write your own. I however, will disagree with this slightly. Witchcraft is a tradition-based practice, and oftentimes old words have more potency. As for giving away spells, it's a matter of personal practice. Many people choose not to, I myself can be picky about who I dish my work out to. (You all make the grade, though. The last two on this page are my own. :o) Others have no reserve in this area and freely post all of their work on the internet. When it comes down to it, I will say again, "do what speaks to you." If a certain chant or spell calls to you, and fits your purpose, by all means USE it! But if you are unable to find something that clicks, go out on a limb and use your creativity to write something that speaks directly to your intent. So without furthur ado, here they are! If you have any charms or spells you would like to contribute please send them in. (Thyme@iamawitch.com).

    Know Will Dare Spell

    I got this from Silver Ravenwolf's page, its a nice spell to help bring about change.

    1. Choose a goal.

    2. Make up your mind that this is what you want to do. Make physical changes to help you. If your friends are trying to get you to do things that you know deep inside of yourself are wrong, then it is time to move out of that enviornment and choose new friends. If you can't study because your room is a mess and you can't find anything, admit that you need to clean your room, and then do it.

    3. Plan. Write down what you want to do - and why. Make yourself a mission statement - this is a paragraph of what you want to accomplish and how you plan to go about it.

    4. Magickal supplies: One white candle. White sand. A large, metal bowl.

    5. Fold your mission statement and put the paper in the bottom of the bowl. Cover with white sand. Carve your name in the white candle. (If you aren't allowed to have candles, don't worry... find a white stone).

    6. Put the stone or the candle on top of the sand. Hold your hands over the bowl, and say:

    Change, bring change.
    Bring my goals within my range.
    Peace, protection come to me
    From the land and from the sea.
    Mother bless me, send me love
    I touch the stars; the moon above.
    Change, bring change.
    I've brought my goals within my range.
    Change, bring change.
    So mote it be!


    If you have a candle, light it now. Allow it to burn completely. If you are using the stone, place the bowl where the contents won't be disturbed for three days. Remember to keep working on the physical changes neccessary to bring about your desire.

    Candle and Color Magick

    You can use colors and candles to represent things. A simple candle spell is to carve your desire into the wax of a candle that represents what you want (i.e. blue protection, wisdom) and then sit concentrate while you let the candle burn down. You can also write your desire on a peice of paper (in rune or an ancient alphabet if you like) and then drop it in the candle. Make sure you have a bowl or something under the candle so that if it falls it won't burn the house down! You can also use a candle to represent another person, for instance if you were wishing health upon another person you might carve health into the candle that's color represets their zodiac sign. Soon I hope to have a page that will have colors and meanings as well as runes!

    Spell To Break a Bad Habit (Ambrosia's Book of Shadows)

    With water colors or chalk, draw or write the bad habit on a piece of paper. Immediately take it out into the rain. Let the rain dissolve and disperse the water colors or chalk. So shall your habit dissolve, cleansed by the sanctifying rain.

    A Spell to Break the Powers of a Spell (Ambrosia's Book of Shadows)

    If you believe that a spell has been cast against you, place a large black candle in the cauldron (or a large black bowl). The candles must be tall enough to extend a few inches above the cauldron's rim. Affix the candle to the bottom of the cauldron with warmed beeswax or the drippings of another black candle so that it will not tip over. Fill the cauldron to the rim with fresh water, without wetting the candle's wick. An inch or two should remain above the water. Deeply breathe, meditate, clear your mind and light the candle. Visualize the suspected spell's power as residing within the candle's flame. Sit in quiet contemplation of the candle and visualize the power flowing and growing within the candle's flame. (Yes, the power against you) As the candle burns down, it's flame will eventually sputter and go out as it contacts the water. As soon as the flame has been extinguished by the water, the spell will be dispersed. Break your visualization of the spell's power; see it explode into dust, becoming impotent.Pour the water into a hole in the ground, a lake or stream. Bury the candle. It is done.

    Place all the mixture onto the handkerchief and tie the ends with ribbon. Hang the healing pouch somewhere in your home.
