The Silver-Tongued Devil Spell
This spell originally appeared in Llewellyn’s 2019 Witches’ Spell-a-Day Almanac.
This spell combines an everyday mundane activity and transforms it into a spell for blessing our words and speech. The “devil” referenced here is the “man in black”, the witch-father, or priest of the horned god, the magister of the coven, who represents the divine presence within all witches.

Mercury Remembrance Spell
This spell originally appeared in Llewellyn’s 2019 Witches’ Spell-a-Day Almanac.

Materials:
An orange pillar candle
Cinnamon powder
A nail or implement to carve into candle wax
Ground and center. Using the nail or implement, carve the astrological symbol for mercury on the s...

From Circle to Social Network: The Art of Teaching Witchcraft Online
Together we take a breath. Power gathering in our centers with each inhale. Glowing… pulsing… the light of divinity shines within each of us, and we share it outward as the candle is lit…
“Holy Mother,” the prayer begins, “in You we live, move, and have our being. From You all things emerge, and unto You all things return.”
Together we bask in the light of the candle feeling the presence of our deity… preparing for the work at hand.
So begins many a ritual in Faery; the tradition of witchc...

A Grounding Charm
This spell originally appeared in Llewellyn’s 2019 Witches’ Spell-a-Day Almanac.
A foundational component of a traditional witch’s praxis is that of oneiric travel. One potential danger of this type of work is the gradual inability to remain grounded and focused. For this reason, it can be useful to create a charm whose purpose it is to act as a physical anchor which can assist us in coming back from in between the worlds after our astral travels as well as align our altars toward the manifestat...
Nimuë’s Petals
This spell originally appeared in Llewellyn’s 2019 Witches’ Spell-a-Day Almanac.
This is a spell to bless any new project or endeavor, and clear away any obstacles by invoking the Faery Goddess of Wild Innocence and Joy.
Materials:
A white candle
Six white roses
A piece of candy
At the time of the new moon, or later in the evening in the cloak of darkness, take three white roses to a three-way crossroads and reverently tear their petals from the blooms, casting them before you to each road sayin...
The WiFi Witchery Spell
This spell originally appeared in Llewellyn’s 2019 Witches’ Spell-a-Day Almanac.
An effective Witch will use whatever tools they have available. Why not put your WiFi signal to (magical) work? These home networks can be named anything, so why not make yours a new type of “sigil” for your long-term goals? What do you want to attract? Money? Opportunity? Health? Protection? Choose a word or short phrase that speaks of this goal and then make this the name of your WiFi network. This will be broadca...
Communicate with a Sylph
This spell originally appeared in Llewellyn’s 2019 Witches’ Spell-a-Day Almanac.
This spell will assist you in contacting a sylph; an Air elemental. Typically, these beings provide clarity of mind, new perspectives, and a general feeling of mental renewal. Invoke them when you feel stuck or are in need of inspiration.
Materials:
A charcoal-safe incense burner
Charcoal
Resin incense (I prefer black copal)
Light the charcoal. Ground and center. Face the east, or the direction your tradition associ...
The Stone of Healing
This spell originally appeared in Llewellyn’s 2019 Witches’ Spell-a-Day Almanac.
A simple charm for an extra “boost” to the healing process. Not to be used in place of proper medical care.
Materials:
Either a piece of sugalite or Mangano calcite
Both of these stones are renowned for their healing properties; sugalite helping to access the higher vibrational pattern of perfect health to be channeled into the physical, and Mangano calcite enhancing one’s natural healing energies. Hold ...
