5 Powerful Spells for Beginner Witches

If you're a beginner witch, you're probably eager to start casting your first spells. However, you may have heard that it's really easy for spells to go terribly wrong and you're scared to mess up. We get it! That's why we love to teach witchcraft for beginners. If you're more of an advanced witch, you may still benefit from casting one of these simple spells.

Please note that if you're sober, you can still make the Auric Sprays without the alcohol. They will last for around a month instead of years, but they will be just as effective. Make sure to dispose of them properly. Bacteria can develop inside if you don't include vodka or vinegar. 

1. Auric Spray for Abundance

Best phase of the moon to make this spell during: New moon and/or moon in Taurus

You'll need:

• Spray bottle
• Jade tumble or raw piece
• Dill
• Bay leaves
• Water
• Vodka or Apple Cider Vinegar
• Ginger Essential Oil
• Plastic wrap
• Large glass container

Instructions:

1. Cleanse your Jade piece by exposing it to some incense smoke or putting it in a bowl with raw rice. Then, place it on a windowsill or garden during the morning or early afternoon to charge it with sunlight. Don't skip this step, sunlight is very abundant.
2. Sit with your Jade piece and do a grounding guided meditation while holding it in your hands. Once you are done, play an abundant sound that resonates with you. Concentrate on your intent to impregnate the stone with it.
3. Pour water in your glass container and put your Jade piece inside. Since you are not going to ingest this water, this time it doesn't matter if the crystal makes direct contact with the water. This step is what makes the spray not safe for drinking.
4. Cover the container with plastic wrap and expose it to sunlight again for at least four hours. (Quick tip: Don't mix sunlight with moonlight.)
5. Cleanse your spray bottle with warm soapy water and then with incense.
6. Once the crystal water is done, put some Dill and some Bay leaves at the bottom of your spray bottle. Then, pour the crystal water until you fill 40 to 50% of the bottle. Fill up the rest with the vodka or vinegar. Finally, put five to seven drops of ginger essential oil into the spray bottle and put the top on.
7. Grab a hardback book and gently but firmly tap the bottle against it to activate the spell.
8. Spray right above your shoulders and your head. In my experience, you'll start to see results within one week of daily use. You can also spray it in your work area to attract more business and clients, or even a promotion and salary increase. 

2. Simple Protection Spell

Best phase of the moon to make this spell during: Full Moon, Dark Moon, or Moon in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, but you can also do it whenever it is needed

You'll need:

• Your choice of either Pink Himalayan Salt, Marine Salt, or raw rice
• White candle
• Candle holder
• Matches
• Your choice of oil, if you don't know which one to use, you can use Olive Oil
• One of these herbs: crushed up garlic (garlic powder from your kitchen pantry works), crushed dried up lemon peels, Rosemary, Rue, and/or Lavender
• Glass plate

Instructions:

1. Cleanse your candle with running water from the tap. Be careful not to get the wick wet. Pat it with a paper towel from the bottom to the top to remove any excesses of water.
2. With the back of a match, carve your full name and date of birth on the candle. If you want, you can also carve protective symbols like the Algiz rune, the Pentacle, or a protective sigil you know. Breathe in while concentrating on your intention and breathe out on the candle so it gets to know your energy.
3. Put some of the oil on your fingers and put it on the candle from the tip to the base imagining a protective light coming down from above to you. Put your herb(s) on the plate in a small quantity to avoid this becoming a fire hazard (a small pinch of each is enough). Roll your candle on the plate so the herb(s) stick to it.
4. Light a match and expose the bottom of the candle to the fire so it melts a bit, then place it securely on the candle holder. Surround the candle holder in a circle of salt or rice.
5. Light the candle and snap your fingers three times to activate the spell. Say “I light this candle to thank my guides for the protection they give them. I trust them to protect me from any danger coming my way.”
6. You can perform other spells or Divination while this candle is lit. 

3. Self-Love Spell

Best phase of the moon to make this spell during: New Moon to attract self-love and kindness towards yourself, Full Moon to get rid of negative patterns, Moon in Libra or Leo

You'll need:

• Pink candle
• Candle holder
• Matches
• Olive oil
• Dried Rose petals
• Pink Himalayan Salt
• Rose Quartz tumble or raw piece

Instructions:

1. Cleanse your candle with running water from the tap. Be careful not to get the wick wet. Pat it with a paper towel from the bottom to the top to remove any excesses of water.
2. With the back of a match, carve your full name and date of birth on the candle. If you want, you can also carve the symbol for the planet Venus and any sigils you know that are related to self-love. Breathe in while concentrating on your intention and breathe out on the candle so it gets to know your energy.
3. Put some of the oil on your fingers and put it on the candle from the tip to the base imagining some pink light coming down to you. Put your rose petals on the plate in a small quantity to avoid this becoming a fire hazard (a small pinch is enough). Roll your candle on the plate so they stick to it.
4. Light a match and expose the bottom of the candle to the fire so it melts a bit, then place it securely on the candle holder. Surround the candle holder in a circle of Pink Himalayan Salt. Place the Rose Quartz tumble inside the circle.
5. Light the candle and snap your fingers three times to activate the spell. Say “I love myself, and this spell increases all the love I have for myself. I am kind towards myself at all times. I do my best. I enchant this Rose Quartz piece to remind me of this loving energy.”
6. Once the candle burns down, dispose of any wax residue and of the salt. You can carry the Rose Quartz with you or leave it on your pillow before you start the day.

4. Sachet for Insomnia

Best phase of the moon to make this spell during: Moon in Pisces

You'll need:

• Lavender essential oil (you can combine or substitute dried lavender as well)
• Small cloth bag you can close
• Piece of white paper

2. Do a guided grounding meditation while holding your crystals. Once you are done, picture yourself fast asleep while holding your crystals.
3. Put the crystals, raw rice and Lavender inside a cloth bag. Don't close it yet.
4. Grab your piece of paper and using your sharpie, write “I, (full name), am fast asleep every night. My sleep is restful. I fall asleep easily. At night, I am calm and free from stress.” You can also add protective symbols like the Algiz rune to your note. Fold the note and drip one to three drops of Lavender essential oil on it.
5. Place the note inside the bag and close it. Put it under your pillow. You may have to cleanse your crystals and replace the rice and herbs every New Moon.

5. Auric Spray to Attract a New Lover

Best phase of the moon to make this spell during: New Moon or when the Moon is in Libra. Don't make this spray during an eclipse or during Venus retrograde.

You'll need:

• Spray bottle
• Two bottles
• Rose Quartz tumbled stone or raw piece
• Carnelian tumbled stone or raw piece (Shown above is from NewMoonBeginnings.com)
• Water
• Vodka or Apple Cider Vinegar
• Large glass container
• Plastic wrap
• Fresh rose
• Cinnamon stick

Instructions:

1. Cleanse your crystals with tap water and then let them soak in a bowl full of water in sunlight.
2. To make a crystal elixir, take them out of the bowl and place one crystal into one of the glass containers. Fill it with water. (As this is not meant to be ingested, the crystal can make direct contact with the water.) Cover the container with the plastic wrap and expose it to sunlight if you want to attract a man, moonlight for a woman, and dawn or sunset for a gender nonconforming partner.
3. Pour the crystal elixir you just made into one of the bottles and repeat the same process with the other crystal. Place the second elixir into the second bottle.
4. Grab your spray bottle and cleanse it, first with plenty of warm, soapy water and then with some incense smoke.
5. Pluck the petals of your rose and put them at the bottom of the spray bottle. (Quick tip: You can save the thorns for other spells like banishing spells). Then add your cinnamon stick as well.
6. Fill 60% of the bottle with vodka or Apple Cider Vinegar. Then, pour your Rose Quartz crystal elixir to fill up to 80%, and the rest with Carnelian crystal elixir. Add eleven drops of the Ylang Ylang essential oil to finish it off.
7. Put on the top and make sure it's properly closed. Then, grab a hardback book and gently but firmly hit the bottle against it a few times to activate it.
8. Spray it over your shoulders and head every day to attract a new lover.
