Spell work

 Spell work is an art form practiced by both experienced and novice Witches,

Sorcerers, Casters, and a litany of other people who work in the metaphysical arts.

Most spells contain items found in the natural world, such as herbs, wood, nuts,

seeds, and berries.  These are combined with other items and intention to finalize the process.

Bottle spells are a type of spell work that combines herbs, nuts,

household items, roots, oils, and intention, by sealing them in a jar or bottle.

Each one is individualized based on the nature of what the practitioner has planned for it.

Spell work ,Overall bottle spells are quite common,

but spells of protection far outweigh any other type as the most common use.

If you are unfamiliar with bottle spells, you can read more about them in one of my other articles,

“Witches Bottles – Protection Against Witchcraft and Conjure” to learn more.

As mentioned, different people add different items to their individual spells.

Many of those items are often significant household items which are combined with different herbs,

roots, nuts, or other things found in nature.  Some of the common household items are needles,

salt, broken glass, nails, keys, feathers, Spell work, shells, crystals, stone, pins, and coins.

Also items that have a direct connection with human beings can be added.

These include urine, semen, menstrual blood and regular blood, mucous,

teeth, finger or toenail clippings, surgical staples, and hair from all parts of the body.

Some practitioners will also add pieces of cordage in various colors;

sometimes with intricate knot patterns, wine or other spirits, food,

animal bones, eggshells, soil, sand, sea water or other sacred water,

vinegar, small carved items, amulets or talisman.

Also, copious amounts of things from the natural world can be added.

Herbs, roots, dried resin, seeds, grain, and many other things that will help guide the intent.
