Spell Bags

What Are Spell Bags?

Spell Bags are usually small bags that contain a range of ingredients linked to the intention of your spell. They can sometimes be known as different names, or have slight cultural differences. For the purpose of this post I will refer to a spell bag, but they may also be called spell sachets, charm bags, and in some cultures, mojo bags (please do your own research). You can also make spell jars, which are pretty much the same, only you use a jar and not a bag.

Bag Colors

Gold - wealth, protection, the God Silver - prosperity, the moon, the Goddess Yellow - healing Orange - travel, communication, messages Green - nature, growth, prosperity, abundance, friendship Blue - peace, calm, wisdom, benevolence Purple - wisdom, wealth, grandeur, mysteries, justice Red - success, romance, strength, protection Pink - love, healing, friendship Black - absorbs negative energy

How to Make a Spell Bag

Think about your intention for making the spell bag… Why are you making it?… What do you want to get from it?

Think about ingredients you want to put into the spell bag and their correspondences… What ingredients will fit into your spell bag?… What specific ingredients are associated with your intentions (for example, what herbs are used for protection)

Collect your bag and ingredients, and focus your intent on each of them. You may also want to write a magickal chant. This can be simply read out, or written down to leave inside the spell bag.

Assemble your spell bag.

Spend time either meditating on your intention, or reciting your magickal chant.

Find a place to put your spell bag. This may simply be on your altar, or in your pocket. Alternatively, there may be a specific place you want to put it (such as by your bed for a sleep spell bag, or in the corner of your room for protection).

Tip-Jar

Here's my altar. Just offered incense offerings (usually what I offer anyways). The top row is Apollo and Artemis, the middle is Anpu/Anubis, and the bottom is Hermes. I have to print out a picture of anubis that's big enough to fit in the frame.

The Coven: Sha'bat

When I say "connect with nature" I don't just mean the aesthetic forests with deer and beautiful flowers.

I mean the weeds growing through concrete, the fungus that grows on the rotten shed, the nettles that always seem to return and the scary, spindly cellar spider in the corner of the bathroom.

Nature is not always pretty or magical - the pigeons and seagulls you swat at are nature too, the wasps and flies that hover by your meals are animals too, store-bought strawberries and the leaves that fall from your neighbour's tree are not all that different from the Giant Sequoias and it's seeds.

If you want to connect and understand nature, I mean *really* connect to it, in it's entirety, you have to seek out and learn about the ugly, scary and mundane things as well. You don't have to like it, just don't forget that it's there.

Witch Tip

Remember that witchcraft has no defined style. It can look like anything. It can look like elegant altars to gods and goddesses. It can be a messy kitchen full of drying herbs and fresh vegetables. It can be shelves brimming with books and journals. Or witchcraft can be small windowsills with crystals and plants. It can sigils hidden under furniture. It can be pockets overflowing with shells and stones. Witchcraft is personal and beautiful. Don’t let anyone or anything belittle your craft.

🌹🔥 The Rite of Her Sacred Fires 2025 🔥🌹

On the full moon in May, hundreds across the world perform the Rite of Her Sacred Fires: a cross-tradition devotional rite to Hekate. Since we have no surviving record of festivals dedicated to Hekate, I like to observe this date as a yearly festival honoring the goddess. I have given Her offerings of handmade beeswax candles, honey cakes, pomegranates, and libations of wine, milk, and honey.

Hail Hekate, torch-bearing goddess of the many ways. Savior and protector, three-formed maiden of the golden sandals. May your sacred fires light our path, and may you always bring light to the darkness.

Spirit work: Questions to ask your spirit guides

When you begin to communicate with your spirit guides you may want to go through the process of asking them specific questions that they will be able to answer that will allow you to do have some form of dialogue. This list is meant to help with that by providing you with certain questions that you may want to ask. This is by no means an all encompassing list, and it is simply a few questions that I found interesting that you may want to ask them. When you go through the process of asking these questions you want to do it in a very clear, and precise way, while being open to whatever answer comes to you.

What is your name?

when did we first meet?

How long have you been with me?

Are you a lifetime guide or are you here to guide me through a particular lesson?

what type of entity are you?

What form are you most comfortable in?

do you have any advice for me?

have you ever been an incarnated entity?

Did we share any past lives together?

What lesson are you here to help me learn?

How can we deepen our connection?

What is your “sign” to let me know you’re around?

What can you tell me that will help me on my path?

can meet you show me a sign in my Waking Life?

What is your gender identity?

Have you ever helped me? If so, how?

How many spirit guides do I have?

Have we ever reversed rules where I was your spirit guide while you lived on the Earth plane?

Have you always been in my life in this incarnation?
