Magical ingredients for spell-work from Lily
For
your Spells & Potions!
All truly powerful spells are made more powerful by the ingredients that are used for the spell-casting. Please note that these ingredients are NOT for consumption but for use during the spell casting ceremony only!
There is no definite way of doing this and, most witches will use what comes to hand or what they feel intuitively is right for the job in hand. flowers of course play a large part in ingredients for spells as all flowers have their own sympathies and connections to our emotions and things that we wish to bring into our life (or ban from our life)
A few
obvious ones.....
Roses
are, and always have been connected with love, Rose represents the heart center
and an open and fully blown rose in the appropriate colour (dark
pink or blood red) can be used to represent the heart in matters of the heart
and love spells. You don't need the whole Rose, a few central petals will
do just as well.
Rosemarie the herb connects with remembrance, and so if you were trying
through a love spell to reconnect someone to their loved one it would be also a
useful ingredient
to have within spell.
Rue is a bitter herb! and would only be used where you were trying to break off contact with someone who was hassling you or stalking you or alternatively to split up from someone who would not take no for an answer.
Parsley is a good ingredient where there are health or anger issues arising from the blood.
Fresh Bay Leaves add strength to any spell, especially those where extra 'power' is needed.
Clematis is a climbing plant, and useful for career work someone who is
trying to get on or get to the top of their profession. Ivy has been used
for this in the past, but I find it to be too heavy and too clingy for the
purpose.
Thyme it is what I would call a fixer, it fixes the time and the longevity
of whatever it is you're trying to accomplish in the spell, so if you're trying
to cast a spell to make someone commit to you, then thyme is a good ingredient.
Clover (or any of the trefoils) is good for bringing families together and reconciliation's. For protection from psychic forces I would use the leaves or bark (discarded!) of either the Elder tree or Mountain Ash (Rowan) but you must be careful to 'thank the tree' before taking!
All of the Currants (including a flowering currant), are excellent herbs to use in a spell for fertility or to ease birth and labour pains.
Mock orange ( Philadelphus) is excellent so for putting an end to something or bringing things to a conclusion that is happy and satisfactory.
Hawthorn leaves are strengthening and encouraging ...particularly good for
bringing two people together who are in an emotional dispute.
For empowerment, generally speaking I would use either lilac or viburnum... or even may blossom.
Bluebell leaves or flowers are good in spring for renewal of energy!
There are many more flowers and herbs and trees with similar uses such as,
oak leaves for longevity and stability. Willow leaves and flowers to
help cure emotional issues and to strengthen the heart. Rowen leaves to
keep a way disagreements and disagreeable people and cherry leaves and stones
for inner beauty and to prevent ageing!
Other useful and personal magical ingredients...
For
strength and protection wolfs hair (has to be fairly fresh from a live
wolf)
you
can use hair from a particularly strong dog but this is not half as
effective as wolfs hair... you could also in an emergency use wolfsbane the
plant
For
the ability to see through difficult situations, and to deal with
someone who is
very cunning I would use cat's whiskers or cats nail castings ( they do
not need to be fresh and of course only use them when the cat has discarded
them, in my household this means not hovering the carpets until I have checked
to see if any of my cats have left little 'whiskery gifts' for me on the floor!)
Also for protection and stability, old iron nails or iron filings.
Hair or nail clippings from the person to be protected (must be freshly cut) note here! Please be careful who you give hair or nail clippings to, as they can also be used for power over another.
From the sea & sky....
Shells and stones from a fast running river
or sea estuary for clarity of thought and
emotional stability. White smooth sea-washed stones for
Empowerment. Sea washed glass fragments for emotional clarity.
Feathers for energy and cleansing...
If you find a sea washed stone with a hole in the center, this is a real treasure and will help your 'divinations, often called a 'witches stone'.
Sea washed drift wood wands are very useful in 'Love' spells and should be stored outside where they benefit from the elements!
Mermaids purses are very useful in birth or fertility spells. Dried seaweed for health related spellwork.
Herb seeds
are also useful...Mustard
seeds for money spells...cloves for emotional warmth...nutmeg
for second sight...apple for health...tomato for love. .all these 'gifts of
nature' can be added to our spells and
bring their own unique elements! You should also use a good pinch of
'Intuition'! that is all your own!....and there are many many more
possibilities...but a witches secrets can not be told...unless she is passing
them on to her student....and then not all of them! you must discover your own!
Now you can see how it is perfectly possible to create your own spell with ingredients that you have either created or found.... add to this a beautiful candle, and a little rhyme that you have created yourself.
Constructed with love, focus and intention and for the good of all... and you have your spell!
With Bright Blessings! and Happy Spell Making!
