Mindfulness

Spell Steps

Step 1: We can experience frustration when a spell doesn’t seem to be working. We might not be aware of how we might be preventing the outcome we desire. This first step requires some time to meditate about what you are trying to accomplish and list reasons that might be preventing it from coming into reality. An example might include hoping for more money, but upon examination, you might discover you don’t really believe you deserve more money. That feeling could be preventing your spells or rituals from working. The first step is to brainstorm and try to zero in on one attitude that you’d like to improve or clear.

Step 2: Once you have an attitude or belief in mind, try to find some images that remind you of how this attitude is holding you back. Example: If anger is blocking a type of healing you want, gather up some images that look and feel like the energy of anger.

Step 3: Decide which element to work with for this spell. As you clear or improve the energy of the targeted attitude, you’ll be asking for the assistance from one of the elements, earth, air, fire, or water. Determine which element feels right for this task. Example: You want to cleanse yourself of negative emotions regarding your body. You may choose to use the element of water to wash those feelings down the drain. A cleansing bath could be your choice.

Step 4: On a piece of paper, write down a statement that describes what you hope to accomplish in this spell. Example: I want to eliminate my fear of poverty so that I can allow for abundance in my life.

Step 5: Under that main statement, add a couple of specific examples that you feel would help. Examples: Every day, I’ll make sure to watch an inspiring video about abundance so that I can begin to resonate with different vibrations. Every day, I’ll reinforce this spell with a short visualization before sleep.

Step 6: Find a representation of the element you will be using. Examples: A stone, crystal, dish of salt or soil for earth. A chalice, cup of water, or seashell for water. Incense, aromatherapy, or a wand for air. A candle, image of a flame, or sitting by a fireplace for fire.

Step 7: Once you have your statements, your attitude images, and your elemental representation, set a time where you can be alone for 10 to 15 minutes and bring these items with you into that space.

Step 8: Use any additional tools that help you attract the essence of magick. Candles, incense, or magickal tools.

Step 9: Once you’re settled in your chosen space. Bring out the images that represent the attitude. Take a few moments to feel what this attitude is like. It won’t be pleasant, but that’s okay. You want to be honest about the feelings and use your sensitivity to them to complete the spell.

Step 10: After a few moments, focus on the item you’ve chosen to represent the element of your choice. Feel how this element could help you shift away from the negative attitude. Examples: Water can cleanse, refresh, or nourish. Earth can bury and rebuild with new soil. Air can shift mental states and communications. Fire can burn through the old and bring light to the situation. These are just a few examples. Find the way that your chosen element can help reinforce your goals with regards to bringing on an attitude change.

Step 11: Focus on the strength of the element as you read the statements you’ve prepared. It’s best to read them out loud, but if that isn’t possible, whisper them to yourself.

Step 12: In your own words, ask the energies of the element to assist you in cleansing, clearing, dispersing, etc. the negativity associated with your current attitude. Imagine the element coming to life and joining with you in some way that will help with this process. Example: A healing pond forms and takes you into it’s soothing waters. A magickal breeze arises and brings new information into your consciousness.

Step 13: Hold the image of the element working with you in the etheric planes for as long as you can.

Step 14: As the imagery fades, thank the element for its willingness to be with you on this journey.

Step 15: Take the paper with your statements on it and put it together with the image or representation of the element. As you place them somewhere together state something like the following: Together we will alter my attitude according to the highest good so that I might fulfill my highest destiny and purpose.

Step 16: Take the images of the attitude itself and destroy them in a way that utilizes your chosen element. For example: Burn the images if you are working with fire. Tear them up and scatter the pieces in the wind if you’re working with air. Bundle it up and release the papers into a river or body of water if working with water. Bury them or use the paper as compost if working with soil.

Step 17: Ground the visualization by enjoying your chosen element. Work in the garden for a few minutes, take a relaxing bath or swim, enjoy a walk the open air, or gaze into a fire.

Step 18: Release your spell and allow the element to work within your life. Notice any shifts occurring and take notes in your journal.

Step 19: Use short visualizations before sleep to reinforce your connection to the element assisting you.

Step 20: In 7 days, reassess your situation and see if you notice any attitude adjustment. When you do recognize a significant shift, you’ll be better prepared to use another spell to achieve your goal or manifestation once again.
