Witchcraft: How To Make A Charm?

I accidentally found a tea shop, he had a entire wall set up full with loose tea in glass containers! It looked totally apothecary-like, all color-coded with scent jars, it took me a while to pick from all the choices I had but I picked a tea that had been smoked over pine wood so it smelled like pine, which has healing and cleansing properties in Native American folklore, so that was my little adventure hahahaa I hope you have a great day!!!

I wear a enchanted necklace everyday, I even made it myself, it’s a self-love and self-care necklac which I think is very important to maintain and with which I struggle I did a spell on Lammas and did a petition inspired by your vid and it worked amazing! visualization is my number one method, and I also think the color of the energy you see has a certain meaning to who you are/ or how your feeling currently a la chakren maybe that’s comparable!

My parents just got back from a trip around Australia and they got me some stunning natural pearl earrings that have this really unique shape from the sand rubbing against them while they were forming – this is such perfect timing! I’ll definitely be cleansing and charging them and I’ll post a photo with the hashtag in Instagram 😊 Thank you! P.s Your earrings and the ones you got for your Mum are so cute!

I have rings that I haven’t charged but wanted to and whenever I’m nervous or scared or my PTSD is kinda acting up I twirl them or slide them up and down and I’ll also clink them together cause it makes a almost bell sound and really helps calm me. Now I’m definitely gonna charge them and cleanse those babies!!! Thank you for posting this!!

I’m so glad you mentioned something about broken jewelry. I have a necklace with a tigers eye point where the crystal broke ages ago. I’ve asked other people and no one could give any type of answer. It never felt the same after it broke so I haven’t used it but the thought that it has served it’s purpose makes a lot of sense to me and makes me feel better about abandoning it to the depths of my jewelry box.

Great idea for a article! Just a note that most jewelry metals and many crystals (especially silicates) can be damaged by being in salt. If you do use salt to cleanse, use it very quickly and rinse the piece off and dry well. I personally like using sound to cleanse (I use an altar bell). Another idea I liked was having bed of sage for cleansing items that don’t like salt, water, and/or the sun.

I charmed a bracelet made with lava beads and a lion’s head on the Aquarius full moon for courage. I also created a courage oil at the same time that I would use to recharge the bracelet. Recently I lost the bracelet, so I took that to mean that I was no longer in need of the bracelet. I’m wondering if other people have lost charms. I’ve heard of certain stones and crystals leaving you when you’re no longer in need of them, so I’m wondering if that’s the same for charms?

Thank you Olivia for your wonderful articles. You are slowly convincing me to give witchcraft a try. I have always been drawn to this craft since I was a child despite my Christian upbringing; and have had a very deep connection to the earth, specifically trees. I would speak to them and take refuge under them if I had had a bad day at school or felt lost and lonely. Recently as an adult, my interest has been reawakened do to intense feelings of being lost, spiritual disconnection with myself, and recent trauma and grief that has left me emotionally crippled. I miss the safety and reassurance of the trees and am seeking healing, reflection, and specifically self love. I feel that this is something that I have to do even though I know my family will not understand it. Thank you for giving me some guidance to start off my journey in witchcraft.

Hi love, the evil eye symbol is a really powerful symbol to ancient greeks. It is said that you must always have 10 eyes perusal yourself and your back, “Matia Theka” which means eyes 10 in english and is a commonly used saying in Greek. It is also there to ward off evil spirits and all negativity away from you. Usually said to also be worn with a cross as if you are putting energy into the eye (taking acknowledgment of it that you should balance it out with wearing a cross too. This is a very holy trend by many traditional Greeks. That’s why most will always have the eye attached to it, we also give these as a gift to people at important family events like Weddings and Christenings. xxx Aside from that meaning – eye itself does represents insight. Hope that helped you in some way. Stay safe <3

Yes! This is perfect! Just what I need! I’ve been trying to Charm my jewelry for a bit now. Finally, I can do it properly. I didn’t know what I was doing. Thanks to this article, I should be able to charm my jewelry. This is great! Thanks for another great article, Olivia! Good luck and Keep Up the Great Work! 🍀 Quick Edit – Olivia: NiNiNiNi… Me: internally laughing Olivia: It’s my witchcraft sound Me: So whenever I hear that sound, I know it’s Olivia working on her craft. Coolio. 😂

May I suggest using uncooked white rice to cleanse as well. It works just as well if not better in some instances than salt does. At least that’s how it’s been in my craft. Salt can damage some materials, especially when left in it for longer periods of time. Rice does not have this problem do to its composition.

I have a ring that I got from a flea market 10 years ago. It’s real silver with a large turquoise stone. I wore it a hand full of times. Every time I wore it for more than 24-48 hours I would get sick. I kept trying to wear it thinking “there’s no way this is what’s making me sick” until I tested it out the last 3 times I wore it. How can I cleanse it so I can wear it without getting sick.

1. Cleansing – put it in a bowl full of salt overnight (or few hours) – incense/dried herbs – visualisation (hold it, visualise white light and energy melting off of it and bringing a blank state) 2. Set time and place – Write down or say out loud your intentions – Positive (do not say “not” “won’t”) – Say in present tense (I am protected > I will be protected) 3. Charging – hold it and take few deep breaths and focus 8:17 – Build up and send down to ur arms to ur piece (think of it like battery and fill it till u feel it can’t hold anymore) – Close it off with whatever u feel like it will seal it “it is done” “thank u” or kiss it

Depending on how powerful I want my amulets/jewel be, I like to make the spells with a deadline, ‘cause I feel that this way all the power I charged it with will be 100% used on that intent. Like my pentacle of protection, I recharge it every full moon, so the power it contents will fully protect me for a month…

Random story time! I once got a little ring from my then boyfriend. It was a little silver ring in the shape of a butterfly. I had it for a year and a half and nothing happened to it, I never hit it on stuff and it was completely formed to the shape of my finger. But when I started to have my doubts about the relationship, I hit my ring on a table and one of the wings of the butterfly bend. So yeah I really do think that wasn’t a coincidence. Thank you for reading!

To anyone who knows a lot boot spirits and ghosts, can you explain maybe what happened in my experience? Okay, so one when I was ten, I was goofing around with my sister and I wanted to scare her a little. So I said “hey, what if, in the middle of the night, you hear…” and then I tapped on the glass of my window three times. Almost immediately, three, very loud thuds hit the wall that had our window. We ran out of our room and we almost thought it was our father chopping wood for the fireplace, seeing as it was winter. But he was in the living room. Our dog was with him. For a while I didn’t know what it was, until I remembered the stories about or great grandad. He owned 63 acres of land around my house he didn’t on the property, and my grandad’s corner shop went out of business. So he had to sell a big chuck of land to support his family (even though he barely cared about his sons, and only his daughter) but the rest was given to his children when he died, and that was sold. So now, my family lives on only three acres of land. We kept the part with the old barn, and a small chunk of the woods. But most of it is residential now. Our driveway used to be a pond. And in the summer, my great grandad would take a bath in it. At around 3 p.m. my dog barks at it around that time. I believe the ghost of my great grandad or grandad is now a ghost that roams our property now. If so, they mean well. Other than a few weird experiences, nothing of ill intent has happened. So it’s not that bad, in fact, nothing much has happened in a while.

Hey, I was raised very spiritually by my mum but the way she practices never really felt right to me but after looking into my ancestry including witch doctors and such from the Caribbean, your articles have really helped me find what works for me so thank you so much. Also, I was wondering if you feel that the salt can be reused or should be discarded after being used for cleansing an item?

You know what is funny? I absolutely love eyes, i draw them paint thdm photograph them an I hsve heard of the evil eye in a show but didn’t think it was real bcuz you know how shows on magic are, its Hollywood magic so it’s hard to know if anything they bring up in the show is even remotely close to correct. But I was perusal Charmed an it was the episode about thr gypsy and gypsy hunter and their clan was protected by the evil eye and thr Shavanni (probably spelt wrong) she was thr keeper of the eye. I found it untterly mesmorizing and just instantly drawn into it bcuz it was an eye, but figured it was just more “Hollywood magic” and wasn’t real or was partially right thrown in with some extra crud that wasn’t. So now I know it is real I can properly research my obsession with eyes and why that certain emblem or talisman has had me so drawn into it so long ago and even now. Thank you miss Olivia, oh yea before I forget, are your dance classez you take expensive? I’ve been interested in that specific tupe of work out for like 5 years or more (sinceI heard about it when it first hit Maine) but am afraid it will be super expensive

Even though she said you can do it anywhere it’s mostly recommended to perform spells or rituals in a place of power and self designated Temple a place where you wouldn’t be disturbed or have any form of stimulus that would interfere with the ritual or spell Also performing at randomly and other locations especially when you’re trying to charge an object or enchant it will have a cocktail different Energies other than your own on a bus or a train there’s more energy there than there are bacteria at a public bathroom floor there is good energy there’s bad energy there’s dark energy light energy those who could see energy Focus their vision their senses would be overwhelmed on the amount of emotions and energy would be in places such as that where has a large amount of people would leave behind energy and it’s mostly recommended not to perform rituals at your own home simply because there’s always the ratification that the spell might backfire depending on what form of enchantment you’re trying to do

I broke my necklace a few months back and I love it(her) to bits but when I broke it(her) they did there job in a way. I dont want to get rid of them so I just have it hanging on my wall and it makes me sad. I want to fix it (and did. The chain snapped) yet ive been told it could do opposite id you continue to wear it.

so when you say.. when setting your intentions, you should say “I AM confident” instead of “I DON’T have anxiety” so that you’re focusing on what you DO want instead of attracting the opposite… What about banishing spells and cleansing spells for the time period of the waning moon, when you’re supposed to be specifically expelling instead of drawing in? Clearing out things that no longer serve you and things of that nature? I mean when you’re expelling ‘bad’ negative energy you must be focusing on specific people behaviors thoughts habits ect. Is there a more effective way to visualize these intentions?

Hello, I’ve watched a few of your articles and you seem really passionate about your subject matter. If it’s not to much trouble I’m wondering how you feel this path has benefited you. Maybe a better way to say it mite be to ask in what ways you feel it has enriched your life. Also I’m curious if you had to name one example of something that happened that sealed the deal and had you truly believing that magic is real what would that instance be. Just curious.

So I’m confused, I thought you said that you put certain rings in salt every night. Does that mean they are not charged with a purpose? I have a ring with black tourmaline in the quarts and I wear it to protect from negativity just based on its inherent properties I was thinking of actually enchanting it and also setting it on salt at night to clean it of negativity. 🤔

Is there any limit to how many times I should use the same salt to cleans the same or different objects? Sort of like how you can steep the same tea multiple times. Or should I avoid using the same salt for multiple cleansings since the salt absorbs the energy and it might transfer it to other things?

Hey Olivia 👋 I love your energy and you inspire me so much.. About the Evil eye, here in Greece we use the Evil eye talisman for protection about the negative energy (whatever included, like as gossips and Evil eyes of people above you and your actions). Its everywhere in our houses like magnets on the fridge, money boxes, plates,lucky charms.

Is it okay if I put what I have learned and tried from your articles in my own Little Book Of Magic? (Thats what I call my grimoire or book of shadows) I havent started one yet bcuz I don’t want to be filling it with spells I hsve learned or picked up from someone else, I don’t know how to wtite my own spell honestly I am not sure on how to write a proper one or even how I waod make it work correctly maybe I’m over thinking it. So I want to start my book of magic but don’t want it to be filled with spells that aren’t my creation but what I have heard from other practitioner is that when they try or learn a new spell from wherever they put it in their books, so I guess my second question is how does one go about creating their own spell? I know spells and prtitins and honey jars or all fueled by your intent but when you create a spell is there a particar way to word it properly to bring in or send out is there certains words that should be used instead of others so it helps it be more successful? I mean in your travels and experience since I know you are learning also. In your experiences what seems to have worked best for you when creating a spell. Im sorry its so long of a comment. I just don’t want to mess up and curse someone when I’m trying to protect them lol. And when i do learn something new weather a spell or how to do a petitikn or manifestation I never out right do it exactly how the person does that I have learned it from, I make it like ya know my own so it reps myself and not the other person.

Ok weird question but I’m getting my sister a charm bracelet for her 6th birthday… and I want to charm it for protection, happiness etc… how/can you charm a piece for someone else? And how can I make sure it stays charged? Do I need it in my possession to charge it? (My sister lives 1k miles away)

Wondering if this means it’s charged, I’ve been wearing rose quartz and official cleansed it with both incense/breath then charged it with intention. After holding it in my hand focusing my intention for around a minute it was like I was feeling my heart beat through the crystal like reflected back. Is that a sign it’s charged?

… and I’m Joe the Warlock of Lu’O-larRhu; Just got and tried my first Sunrise Tea, awesome. Thanks Olivia. I’m learning so much from you. Blessed be’Blessed are, .. Olivia: I literally just walked back into my little apartment from taking one and only ring to the beautiful river only 100 yards away from my apartment building. I walked out the back door and a cute black cat with gorgeous yellow eye’s popped out of dumpster and just stared at me. Then it followed me to the river and watched me from the shadows. The sky is overcast but still lit from the nigh very early morning light. I couldn’t put my ring into the water because the riverbanks was so deep and rocky and I’m very clumsy. So I stayed on the shore, put my hand out with my ring on my right hand and asked all the powers and gifts of the Cosmo to cleanse and charge my ring. I walked on the slippery wet grass back to the street carefully with my cane. The black cat still perusal me. The sprinkling stopped and I came inside. That experience was so so awesome. Now I can reheat my tea, sit, think, relax. Thank you, Joe.

I unknowingly and unintentionally charged every last one of my necklaces. It was a weak charge for all but one of them, but never the less a charge. I recently got some really strong necklaces from Ren Fair (who’d’a thought, huh?) and thought, “Hm, maybe I should actually try to learn how to do this properly…” And… Well… Now I have a necklace that makes me giggle every time I put it on. Thank you for the awesome tutorial! If you wrote a book on this topic I would buy it so I could pull it out any time I needed information.

Hey I think I did this on accident with a little piggy statue (my thinking was pig=abundance) I prayed over it and blessed it with holy water and focused on it attracting wealth, then I gave it away to an ex and he has been doing EXTREMELY EXTREMELY WELL, and it was sitting in a bowl of coins for months which may have done something

I have a quick question for you. This is a little off subject from the main focus of the article, but you mentioned petitions and made me think of it. I want to stop being so affected by what other people think of me ( I like using daily affirmations ), and like you said I don’t want to add in “don’t”. ” I don’t care what people think”‘ ive been having a hard time coming up with a positive version of this to repeat daily. What about “I AM free from what other people think”? but I’m still adding in “caring what other people think”. Do you have ideas for a good affirmation to stop being so worried about others judgments? It’s time for me to start shinning my light!!! Much love!

This article is kinda old but how would I word it if I were enchanting my jewelry to help me make friends? I’m transferring schools, o start in two weeks and I’ve had a lot of social trouble in high school and at my first university. I’m thinking “I am confident” and using some glamours to be percieved as warm and kind but does anyone have any other ways I could enchant my jewelry? I wear a lot of jewelry normally so enchanting a bunch of different pieces isnt really an issue here, but any advice (witchy or just general) would be appreciated

As far as cleansing and dedication goes, one way I like to cleanse/dedicate things is with a small ritual over a pot of boiling salt water, passing the object(s) through the steam ☺ (counterclockwise to take away the old energy/purpose, and clockwise to bring in the new energy/purpose, with my own incantations.)

Love your website. I cleanse my jewelry, crystals n such through the smoke of Frankincense and Myrrh, while saying a prayer to remove any negative energy picked up in the manufacturing process, sitting in the store, any bad energy from the person that may have given it to me (if it’s a gift)… It works. Grear article! I always like to get different perspectives on how others do things. Thank you so much 💖 Side note: You have good pole skills 😉😊

If I didn’t adore you so much already, but now you surprised me that you have a stripper pole ! So fun . I watched a few of your articles today and the one where you dressed the black candle, you said your neighbors walking by could probably see in no wonder why they don’t talk to you ! I was cracking up . I am learning so much from you . I started writing everything down but there is so much to learn. For now I am perusal and listening. I have a list of things to collect. The ones I can do now like this I do now . I save your articles to go back to when ready

I love this! I like to save all of my ashes, from incense and herbs to petitions and sigils that I burn in my cauldron, and use those as a base in my salt. I make a batch with herbs for protection, with intent for the black salt. I add salt, a pinch of graveyard dirt, and a pinch of egg shells. I also separately break up a few unburnt charcoal discs into my mortar and pestle and grind then into a powder. I do this both for the properties and so the salt will be black and not gray! If you add enough, it blackens right up. 🙂

if it rains it goes off???? i will scatter it around my property but it rains. i did rock salt before but rain wash it off. than i tried black salt for making them go away it didn’t work. i will try this again for protection and i will make some necklace for my dogs? i’ll try it to blow to some neighbors but it’s hard to get near their homes.
