Hi witchlings, welcome back to my channel
it is me, your local Chaotic Witch Aunt! I'm so sorry um, I've been on a little bit of
a break I haven't been super active on a lot of platforms. I'm really excited for today's
video, we are talking about the 10 or 9 (I forget how many I have) best spells for beginner
witches! My goal kind of moving forward is to film things ahead of time so you guys never have
an instance where you're without a video for that week, um, because I think it's been like two weeks
in the past a month where I've just dipped and been like I can't film this week, sorry, because
I'm usually filming things right beforehand. Um, but we are hoping to kind of change that
and move a little bit forward, and yeah so today like I said, we're talking about
the 10 best spells for beginner witches, um, I made this list based off my own experience,
and what I found was very helpful when I first started as well as other people and what
they found was very helpful when they first started! I'm actually gonna take my hair
down. God, I look so sexy. *awkward laughing* Um, so we're starting off with kind of
I'm gonna give you the name of the spell, why I recommend spell, and um, some
ideas for how you could do this spell and we have I believe we have nine here and
I think I may only give eight but if you have an extra two please let me know! I know this is
like the "10 best" series but I ran out of ideas. So starting off we have a protection spell.
Whenever anyone asks, "Hey I'm a beginner witch, what spell should I start with?" I always say
protection because I feel like it is like a nice base foundation to learn how to create a spell
off of. It is something that very much does not backfire under any circumstances (I've
never had a protection spell backfire, no one I know has ever had a protection spell
backfire) so that's my kind of reasoning for that. And I love the idea of starting off with learning
protection, um, it doesn't have to be protection against anything. It can be protection
of your energy, protection of yourself-- You can charm things into kind of helping protect
you, which I think charming is a really great idea to start off. Learn how to enchant or charm an
object and that can be enchanted or charmed with all sorts of reasons. And it's really great
beginner spell. My method is, I take a bowl of water, I usually choose moon or sun water, or
just blessed water. I put a cup in the center and I put the object in, that I want to kind of
enchant or charm. And I will put some herbs around in the water and I will use either my
finger, or my athame or something that I kind of use to channel energy to stir it either three
times clockwise if i'm trying to bring something in or three times counterclockwise if I'm trying
to take something out. And you can come up with your own chant or own intent for this, I typically
will come up with like a very basic spell like, "This item protects me, this item protects me"
and I repeat it how many times I want to stir it, and then I take it out. That's a very basic
charm. There are other ways to charm things, it's like channeling energy into objects would
be enchanting, um, anything like that is really easy to learn. And that's a really easy basic
protection spell. Um, if you're interested in learning more about protection, I have a basics
of protection and wards video that is up, you will see it pop up in the
corner. Hopefully, if I do it right. (Editing Frankie make it happen!). Moving on,
second best is a self love spell! Now there's a specific way to do these, and I always say mundane
before magical, I've heard some people debate kind of whether self love spells are domination or
manipulation magic, um and how effective they are. I think alongside actual work on your self
image whether that's therapy or affirmations or seeing a counselor whatever kind of method you
choose to do to work on your image of self and your perception of image of self, um, love spells
are really really great and works really well. You can also use self love spell as a form of
glamour (I talk about glamour a little later in this list) and that's an amazing thing to learn
as a beginner. A very basic self-love spell is um one that my friend gave me, where it's
called the "Circle of Compliments" you write a compliment in a circle on a mirror -- you can
use lipstick, expo marker, etc-- and you literally just write it and put your face like in the center
of the circle of compliments. And you can either do your makeup, you can say affirmations, um, you
can do your skin care you can just sit there and kind of absorb that energy. Um, I know a friend
who basically charmed her mirror to give her, like, love and confidence whenever she looks in
it. I don't know how to do that, sadly. There are a lot of different ways to do self-love spells
and a lot of different ways to kind of incorporate these kinds of spells into your day-to-day
activities. For me, my skin care is a self-love spell. I choose, um, items with ingredients
that are really soothing for my skin, that bring me confidence, um, that are -- my lotion has
a very specific herb in it that is for protection and also confidence, so when I put it on, I draw
sigils that are very specific to kind of me, my protection sigils, my confidence sigils, onto my
skin with my toners and my in my lotion and to me, that's a self love spell or glamour that I do
every day. Uh, I will kind of use that as a sect to bring in sigil magic! Um, sigil magic is not a
type of spell, it's a way of creating spells and like charming or enchanting I think that sigil
magic is super, super important to for anyone to learn. Sigil magic comes from chaos theory and
chaos magic-- the best book that I can recommend for this is to start off with is "Condensed Chaos"
by Phil Hine, um, lovely author, I love his work, and I think that he's a really great person to
read if you're just learning about chaos magic. Obviously, we have "Psycho Naut and Liber Null",
um the kind of "original" chaos magic. Um, it's one of the earlier books that's a little bit
more intense, a little bit more thick, um, another book that I recommend is "Six Ways" by Aidan
Wachter and the reason I really, really, like this is because it approaches like, chaos magic
does a very technical, realistic approach and in "Six Ways" it's an intersection between chaos
magic and folk magic, which is kind of what I do. We're actually reading "Six Ways" for our Patreon
book club this month, so if you are interested, our patreon is linked down below -- or my patreon.
Who's "our"? But sigil magic is a whole magic. Um, I would recommend also Laura Tempest Zakroff's
"Sigil Witcherry" to help you understand it, um, but a sigil can be used on their own or as
part of another spell, um, you can use them in spells and small satchels, you can use them
on your own, they can be created for separate things. I actually have, I believe, a Tik Tok
video that where I talk about my particular, um, sigil method, um I will link that down below in
the description. And the reason I recommend sigils is because they are beginner friendly, they're
something that you can use as a base foundation for the rest of your Craft, like I said, using
them by themselves incorporating anything into it. And with that we get to kind
of charging and cleansing. I think anyone (I don't know if this is a spell) charging
things and cleansing things so when you charge things, you're basically channeling energy into
it, it's similar to charming and enchanting, except this is just general energy to kind of
make the spell work, not a specific intent. It's a base for the spell but not everything so you're
going to want to charge crystals if you want to, you're going to want to charge certain things. Im
I charge my drinks with intent, some typical ways of charging things with energy are you going to
place it in the sun, you're going to place it in the moonlight-- We can talk about how moon water
is basically just.. water with moon .. moon light ...charged moonlight intent? Geez. Sp moon
water is just that, sun water is just that, um and cleansing. I think that everyone should
know how to do a cleansing spell or cleansing in general, um. This is cleansing of yourself,
cleansing of your space, cleansing of objects, anything that can collect stagnant sticky energy,
um, and my particular favorite method is smoke cleansing. Which, I can actually show you what
I used to smoke cleanse. So this is my cleansing bundle of choice. This is rosemary, um, I also
have a rue bundle and I actually keep all my cleansing herb bundles in bowls of salt. The
reason I keep it in bowls of salt is because it will absorb any negative energy. I use these for
spells, basically to purify the specific space, or anything that I need. It's almost like an
extra layer of protection, and so you can see what you're going to do is you're going to light it,
if you want to do yourself you can do a little, if you want to do your space you're going to
want to go around the room you can open a window, but this is my specific kind of method of choice.
I also have bells that I use for sound cleansing, if you can't use smoke along with a few other
things like, you can do a cleansing spell, candle spell with the intent to cleanse, salt
bowls are another one, that's another method of purification and cleansing. There's -- you can
take some lemon wedges, cover them, in salt, place them around that'll be a purification
or cleansing method. There's like, so many possible options here for cleansing that it's
like insane, so if you want to learn more about the basics of cleansing, I will link my video.
There a few other things banishing -- oh my god, I think every beginner witch should know how to
banish an unfriendly entity. Genuinely, if you don't want something in your space, just banish
it, like if you don't want to have it around, banish it, if you are concerned about the entity
itself, banish it. I think that that's just the best possible way to go through these things, and
you can see more about banishing, I have a little Basics of Banishing and Binding video that
I'll link up there, but it's really just like, I would use a black candle, I would use a
spirit trap. You can lay some fennel, mustard, or sunflower seeds on the bottom of a jar, place
a candle in it, I put honey usually, I put honey in there as well. So mustard seeds are the
traditional way, um, I like using fennel seeds because that's usually what I have on hand, but
the idea is that the spirit will count the seeds, you place the candle in with the honey and the
seeds, light the candle, and once the candle gets below the rim of the jar you seal it and you've
trapped a spirit. That's my go-to method for banishing, because then you can remove it if you
want to. Banish just negative energy in general, I tend to go for a banishing bath because I usually
feel like negative energy sticks to me pretty badly, so I will just target myself, my energy,
not necessarily my space. If it's my space I will cleanse, and then if I need to banish I will do a
very typical kind of banishing. I would consider as a return to sender when you're returning
negative energy to whoever sent it to you, you can incorporate this into your protection magic, you
can incorporate this into your day-to-day routines and I definitely recommend it. And if you want
me to make a whole video on return to senders, I will, because I'm very good at them. A few other
things I wrote down-- money spells. And this was a friend's suggestion, and I think money spells are
good because it will automatically let you know if you've done the spell in a way that makes it work,
it's good for practice so I mean, I wouldn't, you know, do a spell to get a million dollars
right off the bat. I would do a spell to say that you found, like, a five dollar bill, um, or
that money comes to you effortlessly and you get more money than usual and then you watch and see
if it works, and then you have a money spell that works whenever you're in need. I think that I have
done limited money spells, but it's a really easy way to see if you have any blockages for your
magic working, any blockages with your spells. I think it's a great way to experiment with
creating spells and seeing if they're going to work for you or not. Every witch should
know grounding. This isn't really a spell, it could be you could do, a grounding
spell, but I think every witch should know the limits of this dimension, the limits
of this reality, the limits of them, um, and that's what grounding is. It's about staying
very tethered to the physical realm, despite how much we interact with the spiritual realm. Um, I'm
a medium. For me it's really important, if you're interested in hearing me talk about mediumship,
I just did a video that was a Q&A on this, but I think we really kind of look at grounding
as like, a way to bring ourselves back to the physical plane, but grounding is so much more than
that. It's understanding our limits, the limits of our reality, the limits of our consciousness,
and getting in touch with kind of, you know, the mundane. Um, and within the mundane
you can find magical as well. Personally, I think the sacred and the mundane are one
of the same, but that's just me. Um and yeah, that's everything. I have surprisingly, like
I said, we are reading "Six Ways" by Aidan Wachter for our book this month, and I'm really
excited, this will be my second time reading it, um. if you want to learn more about the book club
