Middle Earth Magic: Inspired Ideas and Seasonal Spells for Your Enchanted Life

I grew up on a farm in West Virginia and learned much about herbs, trees, animals, gardening, foraging  and so much about nature. I incorporate this wisdom I learned from elders in my family into my spellwork. When I finally left the farm, I majored in Medieval Studies, my attempt to emulate my idol, J.R.R. Tolkien. All these influences led me to my own blended brew which I call "middle earth magic," containing a mix of the modern and the time-tested "old ways."

Wonderful Wands

I see many gorgeous, crystal-encrusted wands for sale in metaphysical five-and- dimes, and I am sure they are super-powered. Bear in mind, though, that it is a wonderful thing indeed to make your own wand. Star with a tree branch that has fallen to the ground on its own. Sand and polish the rough edges, as it is a wand and not a weapon. Then give it a good smudging. Hot-glue a large quartz crystal onto the wand near the handle, and hot-glue on any crystals featuring properties that will complement your magic. Citrine makes an excellent pointer tip for your wand and aligns your self-identity with your spirit. And, after all, isn’t that the point? Here are stones I recommend for harnessing various powers with wands:

Amber for grounding

Amethyst for balance and intuition

Aventurine for creative visualization

Bloodstone for abundance and prosperity

Calcite for warding off negativity

Carnelian for opening doors for you and helping you overcome any family problems

Chalcedony for power over dark spirits

Citrine for getting motivated and attracting money and success

Fluorite for communicating with fairies and other unseen beings

Garnet for protection from gossip

Geode for getting through periods of extreme difficulty

Hematite for strength and courage

Jade for wisdom to interpret or realize powerful dreams

Iodestone for bringing a lover back into your life

Mahogany obsidian for feeling sexy and emanating sensuality

Moss agate for powers of persuasion and healing

Quartz crystal for divining your dreams

Rhodochrosite for staying on course with your life’s true purpose

Rose quartz for love

Turquoise for safety when traveling 

W
atermelon tourmaline for help with planning your best possible future
