Like most magickal practitioners, I have a large collection of magickal props around the house to use in my workings. Most of them are natural or handcrafted, though I must confess to owning a few trendy items that happened to catch my eye while I was out and about.
This would be fine except for one minor and vexing point; occasionally, I’m away from home when there’s a need to cast a spell. Whilst I can, and often do in these occasions, cast using only intention and a few hand gestures (No, not those! Though I can’t say they don’t cross my mind from time to time), sometimes I’m able to put more emotion into the spell if I have some physical components.
This presents an all-new problem.
What items can I fit in my handbag or wear on my person that will act as a focus without looking weird?
After some experimentation, I settled on these:
- A small sachet of salt for blessing or purifying
- A small sachet of sugar to sweeten attitudes
- A compact mirror to summon or absorb energy
- A necklace with either a stone or an emblem for use as a pendulum or an aid in healing
- A small notepad and a pen to create incantations or sigils
What essential magickal items do you carry around in your bag or purse?
I live near the sea in the south of England, but I dream of living in the country with sheep and cows for neighbours. I write, blog, craft, and feed my terrible tarot addiction. I love the magical, mystical and spiritual side of life, and believe everyone should let their inner magical sparkle shine!
I’d love someone to make a black obsidian/normal mirror dual compact. Seen them in my dreams and not in reality. I do not know anyone with the skills or finances to make one sadly. Well not yet.
I carry some lotion to stimulate energy if I am being drain from other people in my travels. It helps A LOT!
I had to laugh at the hand gesture thing. That’s about all the spell I can cast. LOL!
