The holidays are around the corner and if you are the crafty type creating presents is the perfect way to gift magic to your loved ones. In this blog post I’ll be sharing a variety of ways to turn mundane gifts into ones filled with magic.  It is important to keep in mind that practicing magical ethics is crucial to bless your loved one with positive energy. Please use respect and practice consent. For instance, my grandparents are devoted Christians. If I were to gift them magic I’d first ask them if it’s okay to gift them positive energy and I’d work with the arch angels, the christian deities and beliefs.  Once you have your loved ones consent and boundaries there are many different ways to add sigils to your gifts. First Create your sigil, incorporate it into your gift and charge it to activate it.      Add sigils to your gifts: Draw a sigil for luck and prosperity in the new year on all your holiday cards and tags. Using a sharpie draw a sigil for pleasant surprise on the inside of the wrapping paper. If you’re painting them a gift, whether it be a painting, a print, a ceramic mug or anything else, add your sigil to the bottom layer and paint on top of it.  Gift them a framed picture and add the sigil behind the photo. Draw your sigil on natural paper and add it into the soil of a gifted plant.  Create seed paper and add the sigil to it once it’s dry.  When gifting baked goods carve a sigil for health into the tops of cookies, cakes, loaf, etc.  Draw a sigil for attracting love onto a bay leaf and add it to oil and herb infused bath salts.      Use a wood burning tool to transform any wood surface into a magical work of art. Carve a sigil to never go hungry into a cutting board or charcuterie board.  Use a dremel to carve sigils into metal, stone or glass surfaces.      Create a rune set. Add a sigil for energy onto the bottom of a coffee mug.  Stitch a sigil for protection into scarves, bags, hats, and any other clothing you are gifting.  When making coffee or hot chocolate put the cream in a food syringe and draw a sigil for joy onto the surface of the warm beverage.  Brew yourself a cup of magical tea by using a toothpick, draw a sigil for a peaceful sleep with honey on the bottom of your cup before adding water.  However you choose to incorporate magic into your gifts, whether it be by charging an object on an altar, adding essential oils, or basking them under the light of the full moon, make sure to honour the elements and or deities imbuing their magic by gifting them an offering.  Sigils are one of my go to ways to inconspicuously add magic into my home. It is the perfect way to add magic to loved ones gifts without it screaming witch.

Adding Oils To Power Your Magic Magical oils are diverse in their uses. Often used for anointing, they can have a powerful effect on the energy you want to attract or banish. You can anoint them on just about anything.  What makes oils magic is the intention and will put into them. If you create your own oils around a specific intent and charge each item individually, you’ll end up with a mighty powerful oil blend to use for your magic purpose.      Oil Infusions An oil infusion begins by selecting a carrier oils. There are plenty of options to choose from. My favourites include: borage seed oil: for courage, hightened spiritual powers, and protection. This oil has a slightly green tint that you will find in many of my conjure oils. Borage is an excellent carrier oil for banishing, uncrossing, and road opener oils.  Almond oil: All nut oils are powerful abundance and prosperity oils. Almond oil is an excellent carrier to use for attraction oils.  Refraction coconut oil: Is strong for protection, purity, fertility, lunar magic and water magic. This is a great oil to use when working with emotions. Use this carrier oil for cleansing oils. Once you have your carrier oil you can submerge various herbs. The herbs you select can be as common as those found at your local grocery store, or rare metaphysical herbs found in a spiritual botanica. Over time the herbs breakdown and infuse into the carrier oil. I like to let my oil infusions sit for 3 lunar cycles.    Using Magical Oils     Anointing One of the simplest and quickest uses for magical oils is for anointing purposes. You can apply oil (anoint) to yourself to attract a specific energy or for protection, you can anoint your magical tools for increased power, you can anoint your jewelry, stones, clothing, the options are limitless.  The most important part of anointing is to declare your intention and add your will while applying it.      Dressing your Candle You can use magical oils on your candles for a two part effect. First it adds an additional layer of magic, so choose the oil wisely since you’ll want it’s energy to harmonize with your candle intention. Secondly it acts as a binding agent for rolling your candle into herbal correspondences.  Read more about dressing your candle on our maintaining a magical practice page.      Magical Baths Magical baths are a great way to infuse yourself with intention. Submerging your entire body into water charged with intent will infuse your being with magic. You can relax in the water and visualize your intention.  I like to use a combination of herbs, stones and oils in my bath water to add multiple layers of magic. When you’re adding each ingredient it is important to state your purpose and let it flow into your bath.  Learn how to create magical, herb infused baths in our blog post about herbal magic.      Magical sprays A go to for on the go magic, sprays are versatile and easy to create. Grab a spray bottle, add some distilled water and several drops of essential oil, add your will and energy and voila! You have yourself a powerful magical spray.  You can add additional layers of magic by working with lunar magic or solar magic. Charge the water under the moon rays for moon water. You can use specific lunar phases to charge your water for specific intents. Charge your water in the sun for vitality, passion & strength.  Another way to use magical sprays is to lightly anoint important documents. If you’ve got important court documents spray those very lightly with a bend over spray. If you are passing out resumes, anoint them with a come to me spray.      Magical Floor Washes Another use for oils is to put them in your floor washes. An easy way to infuse your entire home with magic, you can use different oils to achieve different results. Wash your front and back door with a prosperity infused wash, your windows with protection and your floors with a cleansing wash.  To create a magical wash add a few drops of your selected oil to your water. Speak your desired outcome and charge your will into the water. Use liberally throughout your house, office or in your car.     Mojo Bags Add an additional layer to your magically charged sachets with specially chosen oils. Adding oils to a mojo bag can be a powerful way to engage an additional sense. When you get a wiff of the oil used in your mojo bag it’ll be a reminder of the magic you carry with you.  Learn how to create a magical sachet in our blog post about herbal magic.     Anointing your Altar Items Spending time with your Altar items is an important step to align your energies with your tools. After cleansing your tools you can anoint them with an oil. I like to use either a dragons blood oil for a boost of power, Sandalwood oil for consecration, or mandrake root oil for protection.  My favourite aspect when working with oils is the variety of ingredients offered. You can use pure essential oils, herbs and roots, or a combination of both. Once your oil is ready for use then the fun begins. You get to choose how to use them in your magical practice and when. That’s the beauty of magic, it’s unique to each practitioner.
