Spells that Make Life Beautiful

Author: Quill / Labels:

With our standard spellwork to get better jobs, protect loved ones from danger, find romance, and make that Becky at work back the **** off, we often forget that life and witchcraft are best enjoyed through the simple appreciation of beauty.

What is beautiful to you?  What makes your heart swell with joy to see, to hear, to experience?  Magic can bring that to you, if you're trying for it.  Maybe you seek beautiful surroundings, enriching company, stimulating travel, experiences that make your memories like lovely picture postcards for you to sort through slowly again and again.  Think carefully on what your own concepts are of a life filled with loveliness.

Of course, everyone has to have a starting point.  Here are a few non-essential but utterly needful spells to cast right away for a beautiful life.


To Make the Hair Grow Long 

 Grind dried peach pits and steep this in vinegar.  Strain and use it to rinse your hair and scalp to make your hair grow thick and fast.

(from The Anglo-Saxon Charms, Felix Grendon, 1909)


To Understand the Language of Birds

Any girl who touches the petals of the Marigold with her bare feet will hear the songs of birds and understand what they say to one another.

(from Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, Scott Cunningham 1985)


Acorn Charm for a Fulfilling Life

Carrying 3 acorns in your pocket, tied in a lock of your own hair, will give you the gifts of youth, beauty, and achievement of your desires in life.

(from Garden Spells, Claire Nahmad, 1994)


To Improve Your Sex Life

Tuck a few Magnolia leaves under your mattress and watch the sparks fly!

Add an infusion of Thyme to your bathwater to become more attractive.

Some Sampson root carried on your person will make you more virile.

(from The Complete Book of Spells, Curses, and Magical Recipes, Dr. Leonard Ashley, 2010)


Daily Elixir for Positive Change

At noon, stand in full light of the sun and dip out a spoonful of honey, letting the rays of the sun shine through it.  Eat 3 spoonfuls this way, then say aloud:

Sun charge me,
Gold serve me,
Alchemy change me,
Honey preserve me.

(from Crone's Book of Magical Words, Valerie Worth, 1971)


To Remove Bores

Slip outside without your unwanted company noticing.  Sweep the front doorstep and threshold to your home with your kitchen broom and say the following 3 times:

From my home
I bid you gone,
Tarry not
But return anon.

Post the broom outside the door with the brush pointing up.  Your guests will cut short their visit and leave.

(from Book of Spells, Marc de Pascale, 1971)



What can you add to this list?  Is there something that you feel makes life a pleasant experience and not just a successful one?  Set out to find spells for that.  

If you don't find them, write them.
