So I took my own idea and tried out an acorn charm! I’m an empath, so I made this one to help me stay grounded when surrounded by people!!
Ingredients:
(1) acorn, any size – associated with success, luck, and wishes.
(1) drill with a small bit.
(1) Xacto knife.
Assorted gem chips and herbs associated with your intent – I used amethyst, tiger’s eye, quartz, citrine, and carnelian for gems; marjoram, mint leaf, and lemon grass for herb.
Glue.
Prep: Gently remove the cap from the acorn. Using a drill or knife, carefully hollow out the center of the acorn, aka the nut. Use an xacto knife or similar to scoop out the rest of the nut (as a discord friend informed me, this part of the acorn is soft and will rot over time, so make sure you get all of it!!!).
Stuff your now hollow acorn with your herb and gem chips while focusing on your intent. Allow the energy to flow for as long as you feel necessary. Apply your glue to the inside of the acorn’s cap and press it gently back onto the top. Imagine it “sealing” your intent inside. Leave the glue to dry.
Casting: Once dry, charge or activate the charm as you normally would. Done!
I’m excited to try out these charms this fall!!! In theory, they should be easy to make, concealable in travel alters, bags, pockets, or worn as jewelry, and safe to dispose of if you like to bury your charms in nature.
Feel free to use and let me know if they work out for you!!
From simple love spells to glamours and hexes, wax seal charms are a powerful and versatile tool for any witch’s arsenal. Small, inconspicuous, and easy to hide, these simple charms are useful for nearly any type of magick.
First, you will need a smooth work surface (I used the bottom of a ceramic bowl). Fold a small envelope from a square of paper. You want the envelope to be the same size as or smaller than the wax seal to ensure complete wax coverage.
Next, write your intent (or draw a sigil) on the inside of the envelope. Keep it simple or write very small.
You can add a small pinch of herbs (or a taglock) if you like, but try not to use too much or the charm won’t flatten and may not seal correctly.
Once you’ve added your herbs, fold the envelope shut. You may need to squish it a little to keep it closed.
Pour your wax over the envelope, making sure to cover any open edges, and place your stamp in the molten wax. Apply light pressure for a few moments and then allow to cool.
Once completely cool, remove your stamp and peel the charm off your work surface.
And voila! A small, portable charm that can easily be slipped into a purse or wallet unnoticed.
A sachet created to survive a difficult workplace. The goal is to help you be the catalyst for an improved situation. Add each piece to a small bag thinking of how it will impact your work life. Keep it at your desk or work space.
Gar fish scale: for thick skin and offensive protection.
Tiger’s Eye: for insight and cleverness
Rose bud: for charm and a silver tongue
Rutilated Quartz: for versatility and blessings
Sage Leaf: To keep others’ thoughts of you positive
This is a simple little charm I use to enchant my morning coffee to help me defeat the day, be productive and kick ass.
YOU’LL NEED:
☕️ a beverage
💎a crystal connected to your goal for the day (I use blue goldstone or substitute my mini blue glitter jar for creativity)
DO THE CHARM
⚪️ set the crystal down next to the cup to charge the brew
⚪️ pour or stir clockwise while brewing to attract productive energies
⚪️ repeat an incantation a few times while brewing. This is mine:
“I am a writer & I am done fucking around.
I am a writer & I get shit done.”
⚪️ make sure the incantation is short, simple, and makes you feel like a badass (this is why so many of mine include swearing). It could just be “Today I’m going to [goal or task] and I’m done fucking around.”
⚪️ that’s it! drink up and have a productive day.
TAKEAWAY TWEAKS for when you’re buying rather than brewing.
⚪️ slip the crystal under the edge of the saucer
⚪️ or hold the crystal in your hand under the take away cup
⚪️ if there’s a place to stir, do. You can run your finger clockwise around the rim, or skip it altogether.
⚪️ say the incantation under your breath (if it’s noisy) or in your head (if it’s quiet)
In Norse mythology Freyja, Queen of the Valkyries, goddess of love, beauty, and war would wear a necklace known as the Brísingamen. The Brísingamen is a necklace made of the first pieces of amber. It is said to be the most beautiful of jewelry and anyone who wears it will appear beautiful(even Thor).
You will need
🌹 a beautiful piece of jewelry or one with meaning to you
🌹 a gold candle(white is fine)
🌹 rose petals
🌹 glitter of any color you like but I like gold/red/silver for this spell
Instructions
🌹 it’s best done in the evening or when the sun is strong
🌹 light your candle with the intention of being beautiful and glowing to all those who see you
🌹 place your necklace in the roses and glitter; gently cover it with the mixture
🌹 whisper “as Freyja has her
Brísingamen, may I have mine.”
🌹 seal it with a kiss
🌹 let it set till the candle burns or you feel its ready
*inspired by the necklace Izzy wears that alerts her to the presence of someone with demon blood*
Needed: – Red and Silver Candles – The Thing you are charming to be your sensor. I recommend a pendant or necklace you wear daily – Juniper Incense or diffused oil
Steps: – Light your candles and set up your incense/oil. – Take your item and establish what its natural state is. This is its resting state, which means that nothing is a foot. – Now take the item and establish what it will do/ look like when something isn’t right. With a pendant, this could be it flipped over or twisted on the chain. – Reset it to its natural state, and wave it over the candle flames, then through the smoke or mist from your Incense/ diffused oil. – Hold it in your hands and focus on the two states, give it direct orders on which is which, and what and when it is to alert you. – Wave it again over the candle flames and through the smoke/mist. – Blow out your candles, and set your Sensor to work.

It’s been a hot minute since I posted a spell or craft. Here’s one that’s both.
This is budget friendly and super low energy. It’s based on the Hearthstone in World of Warcraft (because you know me, I love my pop culture witchery). In Warcraft, your Hearthstone allows you to teleport back to one ‘home’ location anywhere in the game. You find an innkeeper, tell him to set that location as ‘home’, and then after that, you can return to that spot any time you choose no matter how far away you are.
That’s the idea we’re harnessing here. “There’s no place like home”, if you will. Sometimes I’m out in a public place and I get overloaded and really need to go home, or I’m having a really difficult day at work and I don’t want to be there anymore. I keep this stone in my pocket and then just hold it when I need a breather. I use my stone to get myself to a ‘home’ mindset, giving me a feeling of safety and calm. (If you want to go to the extra effort, you could enchant your stone to be a ‘go home early’ charm if you want to physically go home, but that’s up to you.)
You will need:
A rock from your chosen home location
Paint or a marker (light blue if you’re sticking with the Warcraft theme, but as usual, you do you, boo)
That’s it. That’s literally all the materials you need.
Now, I say “chosen home location”. My rock is from my yard at my house. For some people, their house is where they want to escape from, not return to, and that’s okay. You can also choose a rock from your school, your friend’s house, a park you love, or wherever you feel the most safe.
Here’s the beauty of the spell: The rock is already charged and cleansed because it’s been hanging out in the ground like rocks do, absorbing all that ‘home’ energy.
Give the rock a clean, but NOT a cleanse. You don’t want to clear out the energy your rock already has, but you do want to make sure you’re not carrying around any gross bacteria in your pocket. Soap, water, maybe some rubbing alcohol or something, but leave the salt and incense smoke out of it.
Paint or draw on the swirl symbol you see above. (If warcraft isn’t your jam and you have a different symbol you associate with home, or you want to make a sigil, go right ahead.)
That’s it. You’re done. The ground already did all the work for you, so you don’t need to expend any of your own energy.
@urbanspellcraft 😉 this is perfect since I started playing recently and you love wow too
As a spoonie my dog King is very important to me. He is my ESA and currently in the middle of his service training. I can’t tell you how ANNOYING and not to mention RUDE it is of people to interrupt him while he is hard at work training in a store all because “he is a cute puppy” and they “want to pet him so much”. So I went to witchcraft for some more assistance in warding off these types of people. If you want to use the spell yourself here’s what you’ll need:
A piece of paper to draw a warding sigil on. I used white paper because the color white is a cleansing correspondence to me but you can use whatever color you would like(fyi you will later burn this so make sure it’s non-toxic paper)
A small jewelry charm bottle, the ones with cork screw tops, smaller than (1) inch long(Make sure it’s plastic or thick glass. We all know dogs chew.)
Sea Salt(for warding & banishing but also because we’re making ash salts)
White glitter(I used it to represent my own “pinch of magic” with the white color being a correspondence to cleansing and banishing)
Super glue (to glue the cork top into the mini jar)
A lighter & fire safe trash bin (or whatever else you can safely use to contain fire)
Okay let’s get started!
First we need to draw our sigil that we want to use in this spell jar.
This is the warding sigil I had used in King’s spell. This is a combination of a pet love sigil and warding & banishing sigils. You can certainly use this example above. While you are drawing this you need to channel your feelings of anger, disgust, and all those other unpleasant feelings people give you when they touch your dog and charge this baby up. Feel that energy start to brew within you. Breathe in deeply and exhale all that hot and angry energy over your sigil.
You feeling on fire yet? Well if not this next part ought to spark the fire in you.
Time to set that sigil on fire!
Once the sigil is done burning let the ashes cool for a few minutes. Collect the ashes and set in a mixing bowl.
Take your finger and start smushing the ashes. Sprinkle in a few dashes of salt. Continue to smush the ashes into the salt. This will make ash salts which is super good (at least in my craft) for keeping creeps away from me or keeping baddies in general away from me. Lastly for the added intent and my own personal favorite way to add some of my essence to spells: glitter! Just go ahead and add as much glitter in this spell as you like. Smush it allllllll together. More glitter is just more of your own essence sparkling in the spell I say 🙂
Take the cork and screw jar charm and carefully pinch in the spell. Now I had recited my own personal incantation for an added touch in my spell that you can say too of you’d like:
“With every pinch of ash I drop in,
I bind this spell deep within.
People of all shapes and sizes,
Won’t dare to give my dog surprises.
Banishing away unwanted people’s touch,
Or punish them with this pinch of bad luck”
Once you have finished filling the spell jar, super glue the cork in. Make sure you get that sucker well glues in so it doesn’t fall apart while your pup is out and about.
That’s it! I hope this spell charm helps others out. It’s been working really really REALLY well lately. Good luck witches and fair winds to you all!
i recently came up with an idea for a simple charm/spell that im gonna share here step for step. it can be used for any intention, and can be put on any glassy surface.
the two most important things youll need are window paint like this
youll need one for the outlines (i have a black one here) and for coloring the inside you can use as many colors as you want. these are usually available in any art supply store or even really basic stores for school and crafts supplies for children (i think theyre not more than 2$ per tube usually but not sure)
then youll also need a sheet protector (the things you use for keeping papers and documents and stuff) like this
apart from those two things, all you need is stuff to help charge your charm, what you use for that is completely up to you- it can be herbs, spices, rocks, feathers, tarot cards, literally anything that you can fit into the sheet protector works. just pick some things that you have available and correspond with your intended purpose and youll be fine.
–
so first what you need to do is decide what image you want to use. it can be any animal, plant, object, symbol, it can even depict a person or deity. you dont really need artistic skills for this as long as the image you pick isnt too complicated.
all you gotta do then is paint your chosen image on the sheet protector
since i am making my charm for protection and warding off evil spirits, and they are also my favorite plants, i decided to go with a cactus as my image.
heres what it looks like when the outlines are done
this will take approximately an hour or a little more to dry (as you can see i put a sheet of paper inside the sheet protector. thats because i drew the cactus on the paper first so all id have to do is trace the lines, to make it easier)
after an hour of drying you can fill in the colors as well
then it should look like this (or hopefully yours will be prettier and not as messy as mine lmao)
once youre done painting your image, you can take all your ingredients you wanna charge it with into the sheet protector (i already did that in the above image). i used various herbs and spices, a cactus needle, a rune stone, and i also wrote my intention on a piece of paper and folded it up and put it in as well.
the finished painting will take around 24 hours to completely dry. simply let it sit with all the ingredients inside like that, and let it charge.
once the whole thing is dry, you can just pull the picture off of the plastic (it shouldnt be hard to do but it can rip if youre forceful) and then stick it to a window, or any glassy surface (you dont need any glue or whatever, these colors are specifically made for sticking to glass by themselves once theyre dry)
there you go! a simple charm that you can put on any glassy surface.
–
what i specifically like about this is
– that it can be used by closeted witches as well since no one will be suspicious about it, and even if someone asks about it you can just say its for decorative purpose.
– that you can use any motive that fits your purpose, be it a plant, animal, person, deity, symbol, etc. if you dont have to hide your craft you can even just flat out use a sigil
– you can charge it with anything you like, so if youre naturally more drawn to herbs you can just use that, or if you feel more comfortable using rocks, use those. anything that works for you, and fits into the sheet protector, will do just fine.
– it can fit many different purposes, depending on what you charge it with. for windows id suggest things that deal with either protection and warding, or things like inviting spirits/friendly people/customers/etc into you home, for mirrors you could use them to boost confidence/beauty/etc, or for car windows (in places where they dont have any impact on your view of course) they can be charged with safety, protecting you from accidents, or helping with quick rides and avoiding getting stuck in traffic. basically, whatever you can come up with, and whatever resonates with you, you can use.
–
if anyone wants to do this for themselves and decides to share it on here, feel free to tag me in it! id love to see what you guys do with it, and what you come up with.
This is such a neat idea! I think I may do this in the new house and just make warding/protecting sigils on all of the windows.
may the bridges I burn light the way
