Basic spells for novice witches and ways to create a spell

Creating your first spell can sometimes be difficult and overwhelming when it's hard to find reliable resources on the creation of spells and types of spells you can do as a novice. I'll cover the ways you can create a spell and give you some ideas which you can do as a beginner. In terms of spells, nothing is closed to a novice so long as you do the research for it. Here we go!

Ways to create a spell

There are loads of ways of creating spells from quick ways such as jars, dressed candles, cauldron spells, sigils to long complex rituals, theres no right or wrong way to create a spell. I'll cover some of the simplest ways to do one here.

Jars- jars are one of the simplest ways to do a spell. They usually involve filling a jar with ingredients and sealing them in some way- usually with coloured wax corresponding to the spell (E.g. black for protection, red for strength etc) Ingredients for these usually include; herbs, petition papers, ashes of a sigil, crystals, precious metals, glass etc. Simply choose what corresponds with your intention and add it to the jar. These jars can be worn as jewellery, placed around your home, buried in your yard, placed on your altar, carried on your person. This also applied to bags and poppet magick.

Dressed candles- dressed candles are another very simple way to do a spell. Dressed candles involve dressing a candle with herbs which correspond to your intention and burning the candle down. Ways to get your ingredients to stick are; melting with wax or using an oil (eg olive oil).

Sigils- sigil magick is a very common form of magick used to create a spell. And ways to create a sigil are endless. They can be little elaborate pieces of work or simply just a few lines drawn and programmed with intention. These sigils are usually burned to activate, however non fire alternatives include: ripping them up, using an oil to activate, sticking them up around your home etc.

Enchanting- enchanting deserves a spot on it's own and if you scroll further down my page, there will be a post I have reblogged explaining some of the ways to do enchanting.

Creating oils and sprays- using oils in your spells is a great way yo add more to your spells. Creating an oil usually involves infusing a base oil such as olive oil with ingredients according to your intention. The same applies to sprays here. Sprays can be used in your room for a variety of different purposes. Whether they be cleansing, banishing, adding a layer of protection etc.

Kitchen magick- kitchen magick is a great way to create a spell without it being too obvious. This makes it perfect for witches who are closeted for whatever reason. You can add intention into the food you cook or bake to create some great spells. This also applies to teas.

There are multiple things used in a spell aside from the method of doing them, this usually will depend on the witch and thier practice. Some use colour magick, cosmic magick, use days of the week and magical hours, some might involve the deities they work with or might ask a deity for help in a spell (this also applies to other entities) and much more.

The ways a practitioner will do a spell will change and develop according to thi6er practice. You might find that some ways of creating a spell dont work for you compared to other ways. The ways to do a spell are infinite and the ways listed above are just some simple and easy ways to do them.

Spells you could do as a beginner

This list isnt an exhaustive list. There are loads of spells out ther which you can complete and do. Any spell can be done with enough research into what you're doing. Here will be a list of ideas for you to take away from this. You can use the ways above to do this. It's best to do further research into the ways of doing a spell first, you might find none of the ways above will work for you and will need a different way.

Here are some examples of what you can do!

Protection

Warding

Banishing

Self love

Confidence

Healing

Luck

Prosperity

Sleep

Neuro-Divergent Practitioners

Some tips for your craft

Meditation doesn't always require sitting still and silent. Try dancing meditation, drumming, rocking, or walking meditation.

Keep a book of chaos or little notebook on you to capture those ideas or thoughts you might forget later on.

You don't need to have everything you see in your grimoire, only study what you find useful and fun for your practice.

Keep rituals and spell work short and effective.

Try not to fixate on astrology alignments, moon cycles, or esoteric correspondences for spell work. They may help but they aren't essential.

While visualization and gnosis are great for spell work, the aren't always a viable option, don't feel like you need to do them.

Always write down what was done directly after spell work to prevent forgetting any details.

Taking breaks is okay, you don't need to be practicing all the time to be a practitioner.

Organize your tools and supplies in a way where they are easily visible and labeled if necessary.

Background noise or music during rituals perfectly okay.

If you tend to forget to blow out candles try switching to electric ones or a salt lamp, candles aren't required for workings.

Try making recipes for oils, teas, incense, etc. in bulk.

Keep calming tea or bath salts on hand for those difficult days.

Try using different colored pens or highlighters to organize information in your BOS/grimoire.

Try keeping recipe cards for food, oils, teas, incense, incantations, or even short rituals in a box at your altar for quick referencing.

Try sticking to offerings that won't easily spoil or wilt, like stones, candles, statues, oil, and incense.

young witches. listen to me. listen to me real good. you. do. not. need. to. have. everything ever. use what you have and what works for you. I've been a witch for a LONG time now. Do you have trouble focusing on long drawn out spells? You dont have to do it that way. You can do it in whatever way you feel like works for you. THAT is the key to witchcraft.

Witchcraft can and IS available to every single person. If you have a single white candle and salt? you've got yourself cleansing. or protection. That candle can do whatever the hell you want to use it for.

I am a disabled poor person who has been doing witchcraft for about 12 years now. It does not require money. Your witchcraft does not have to involve anything other than you doing your most to push intent out.

Long drawn out spells have never been easy for someone who is disabled and poor. It is not accessible for people who can not publicly talk about their craft. You never have to talk about ur witchcraft ever if you dont have to.

your herb associations do not have to be the same as others.

witchcraft is literally diy. who cares. My family has had witches through it. I did not learn from them. I learned reading and seeing what worked for me.

ANYONE who says witchcraft can only be done if you have bought absolutely everything "required" is not fucking trustworthy. Poor and disabled people have the right to know they do not have to put themselves in financial, emotional, or physical harm to participate in their craft.

Simple/Low Energy Witchcraft

Look, I'm disabled so I know how frustrating it can be when your body is just not up to the ritual you spent a lot of time planning and tweaking. Or perhaps you are simply a busy person who needs quick, easy workings you can fit into your day.

Here are some suggestions:

Color Magick (Color coordinating outfits is a fun way to do this)

Spell Bottles

Jewelry Enchantment/Charging

Breath Work

Candle Magick

Knot Magick (Try weaving a braided cord or bracelet to wear)

Sound Cleansing/healing

Sigils

Petitions

Manifestation Boxes

Verbal Incantations & Blessings

Affirmations

Anointing (Can be done with a perfume oil blessed by you)

10 minutes meditation

Simple Divination (Tarot/Oracle, Runes, Pendulum)

5 minutes of mindfulness (Take 5 minutes to breathe, think about where you are and appreciate any good happening)

Mending Magick (A little magick in each stitch)

Daily Glamour (To go along with any self-care or beauty ritual)

Daily Intention Setting
