Paper Magic

Paper Magic

Paper magic is an excellent option for us witches who love the written word or just can’t break the bank on magical supplies but usually have a few scraps of paper lying around (note: most ideas here are cheap, some may not be). Here are a few ideas of how paper magic can be used in your practice.

Scraps/Sheets of Paper

Soak paper in infusions/gem elixirs matching your intent and let them dry -this will give the paper its own magical charge to combine with sigils, runes or charm bags, or allow it to be used on its own. (ensure the gems/herbs you use are safe)

Use the newly charged paper (possibly with a sigil on it) in crafts or place it around the house for protection

If you have it, used coloured paper (perhaps post-it notes for some) to match your intent, i.e. green for a money drawing charm

Writing words and phrases of importance to you (i.e. psalms or song lyrics) on small pieces of paper and carry them around as talismans and charms

Creating a paper poppet 

Origami and other paper shaping crafts to create charms, talismans or for spells (i.e. a jar full of paper stars with happy memories on them to preserve or attract happiness)

Books and Words

Inscribe words on an apple or other food representing your goal and eat it

Black out spell -take a damaged book or page and black out all the useless words on it to create a sentence/phrase representing your desire -this can then be framed, kept, used in charms or spells, or burned as you see fit

Inscribe words, lyrics or psalms onto candles to match the intent of your spell or act as spells in themselves (i.e. I need a dollar dollar, dollar is what I need and burn for a money-drawing spell)

Ink and Pens

Create your own ink and add in a few drops of essential oils that represent your will if necessary -there are a variety of methods in the links provided, and many possibilities exist (i.e. making ink with ashes, all manner of plants)

Creating ink too hard? Draw sigils or runes on your pen/ink well (or stick a piece of paper with runes/sigils somewhere on them)

Charge your pen and/or ink with intent

🌙 Daily Witch Tip🌙

If you want to start divination but you don’t have the funds to buy much, choose three rocks from nearby. A dark one, a light one and one that looks different. 

The dark rock is no. 

The light rock is yes. 

And the different rock is your base. 

Hold all three rocks and ask your question. (Yes or No question)

Throw/toss the rocks like you’re rolling dice. The rock closes to your base rock is your answer!

“I find the motivation to start, create and complete the art I love.”

WITCH TIP

I’m so mad I didn’t think of this sooner!!!

For all of my witches out there that need their morning coffee/tea-

Take like 3 minutes out of your night to pick out which mug you’re gonna use in the morning, and then put a crystal in the mug overnight!!  I tried it last night by putting a blue lace agate in one of my mugs overnight to help me stay calm during my stressful day today and I think it’s a great way to infuse your mug with positive energies!!!

Self-Confidence Spell Jar

So I just made a spell jar and it is probably one of the best spell jars that I have ever made. I’m not going to post a picture because I can’t get a good view of it and also I’m really self conscious of everything that I take a picture of. Anyways you can change it however you like to make it suit your needs.

What I used:

- A tiny Jar -Sage Powder: Self Confidence -Chamomile: Relief of Anxiety and Stress -Lavender Buds: Relief of Anxiety and Stress -Crushed Bay Leaf: Self Confidence -Black Salt: Confidence -Rose Petals: Self Love and Confidence -Orange Essential Oil: Self Confidence -Lavender Essential Oil: Relief of Anxiety and Stress -Peppermint Essential Oil: Confidence and Relief of Anxiety -Dragon’s Blood Incense Shavings: Confidence -White and Yellow wax to Seal it off: White for just a sealant Yellow for Self Confidence
