How to Write Spells + Rituals ║ Witchcraft 101 

Until this video, I never actually realized that people use pre-written spells without customizing them first. My sister and I were taught spellcraft from a young age, and a part of that was creating our own spells. I guess it's kind of like cooking. Some people use a recipe and follow it strictly, some use a recipe but customize it how they wish, and others just go from scratch and make up their recipes on their own.

After 25 years a a witch, I pretty much just write or say what’s in my heart and use the physical correspondences that match my intention. Never fails.

I agree that writing and creating your own spell makes all the difference in manifesting your working. Great video as usual!

About languages: I myself am Dutch, and I'm also fluent in English. Most days my partner and I speak in English to one another without even consciously deciding to do so. Sometimes I dream in English. However, when I speak for a spell, I always always always use Dutch, my native tongue. The reason is that it just strikes a deeper string withing me, and I can connect to my intention for the spell the most effectively. So, even if you have studied Latin and you do know in which order the words go: My advice is to use your native language. Of course, this is only my advice. If speaking differently is like a prop to you, to get you in the right mindset, you do you. But in my experience, it's counterproductive.

Omg this couldn't have came out a better time, I just started working on my first grimoire

Even when following a spell from another source, I always add my own spin to them. I can't imagine following a spell word-for-word exactly as it's written. To me, part of the magick is adding your own energy by personalizing the spell for yourself.

"Tailor it to the path of least resistance" that sums it up the best. Amazing

I've been practicing longer than you've been alive, but I would absolutely recommend this video to any of my students. Well done, Hearth!

I have a little book called "The pocket spell creator" and it's just correspondences. I think knowing the correspondences of all the herbs in your spice cabinet is a good way to be budget friendly. If you're in need of a spell to land a job you'll probably want the budget friendly ones.

I am a baby witch (have been interested/wanting to become one for years but finally getting serious) and your channel is SO helpful! Exactly what I needed and what I haven't been finding in books/other literature. You are a gem! Love from Portland, Oregon, US!

"phone full of notes, that you'll never remember what they mean"...yep, that would be me, lol

2:50 I’ma just say What I do is not write them down in a BoS until they work, because one spell might not work well for me until revised for my preferences. So if I end up making a spell that doesn’t work for me in my BoS and I don’t find out it doesn’t work well until later, I then have a spell in my BoS I’ll never use in that form So instead I write it down in like a notebook or a scrap piece of paper, and then after all the revisions it needs, after it’s worked properly, then I can write it down as a working spell that I may use again one day Because I like to fill my BoSs with tons of theory, basis to build off of. So if there’s a spell in there it’s gonna be a final product, and I’d want to use a different journal for the process of making one, because otherwise by Book of Shadows would be filled with spells entirely which isn’t what I like my BoS to be about

Quick vegan erratum: agar agar is an algae-derived gelling agent which can be used similar to gelatine. I think this was supposed to be agave, a sweet liquid derived from a desert plant. Thanks for this video! Even after years of practice it can be very enlightening to look at things this systematically

Great video. I'm glad you mentioned that sometimes you dont even have to speak as sometimes I find myself not rhyming of knowing what to say lol

Hearth this is fantastic information & so clearly expressed as well. This is exactly how I’ve been creating my own spells for over 20 years. Even though I’ve been on this path for probably longer than you have been alive 😂 I still learn a lot from you. Your videos have helped me expand my own practice in my crone years by introducing working with figure candles, doll babies & using candle remains for divination. Your mystery box is the only one I’ve ever been drawn to & last month I received my first box from you & it was just perfect 👌 I loved how I was able to use everything in the box together to create one very strong working. I’m really excited about receiving the next box. Thank you for breathing fresh life into a crones practice. Brightest of blessings to you

🔮This is so great! I was just thinking last week about how I wanted to write my own spells vs getting them from other sources, So this really helps.🙌 You are my favorite channel to go to for information on things. Thank u so much for ur time and all u do. Much love, magick, and blessings to u🔮

oooooohhh LOVE the hair in these colors!! my favorite correspondence book is the LLewellyn's Complete it's been a GOLD Mine! I actually love to WRITE rhyming spells and they seem to be pretty powerful...the most powerful spells have also ADDED candle magick to them and not only do I dress and charge the candle, but hold it over the cauldron of the burning writing during the ritual. I did two for my cat sick with heart disease...the first I held her collar with a new talisman attached over the cauldron, the second a candle which I then burned daily near her as often as I could until it was gone...it ended up being at least a 2 week candle. I also kept the other correspondences near her when I burned it, tarot cards and gemstones. This week she was back at the vet for a one month checkup and the vet was SHOCKED how good her heart sounded and how low her blood pressure was...I received MANY messages from the Goddess after my spells for work I could in the mundane world to help her. I am very hopeful this level of effort will ring as true yet again as I am working on a love spell for myself now. It's complicated because I have someone in my life, but feel very uncertain he is who I am meant to be with as my partner any longer so working to make the spell for the best person to strengthen if it IS us or release if that's what I need to make the space for the one who IS right...is a difficult place to be. :( FANTASTIC video and thanks so much for sharing!

“I generally never wrote words that I am going to say or rhyme in a particular way. “ And you stopped and looked to the right. That made me laugh and I had to share it with my husband. He thought it was funny as well.

What a wise young witch you are! I´m glad I found your channel!

It’s great that you make videos even today!

Perfect timing, I'm really struggling with wording in my rituals. Thanks!

Fantastic as usual, Hearth! ❤️

You are such a good Witch.

Another fantastic video Hearth! A wonderful way to gain valuable knowledge in the practice of witchcraft. Thank you!

Oh yeeeeess! Thank yooou! I so much love your videos!

I love your channel. You make so much sense and make it easy to practice. Thank you! I’m happy to have found you!

OMG, exactly what I was searching for.

This was a fantastic video Hearth❤ Thank you so much❤

Awesome video! So much good info! Would love to see a video on using doll babies and one on using sweetening jars!

This video was so helpful! Thank you for making it! I think there is a real lack of such educational and informative videos on youtube.

Love your content! Every time i want to watch a video on a specific topic you have a really well detailed video on it. Thank you! 😁

Very cool, thank you! 🌈 I do it very similarly and I find the time when I'm gathering the herbs and tools for the set-up the most magickal part of the whole process, because I'm getting into the magician mindset while preparing everything. That's also the point where I leave looooots of room for spontaneous last-minute changes, additions and intuitions! This is the phase where the best things come to my mind, as if my subconscious gets the signal that we're doing it now and presents me with what it has been brewing in the background. I hope that makes sense... 😄

I'm so glad I found you! Your videos are longer and more in-depth than most other youtubers' videos (at least the ones I know) and really help me out. Very good and helpful video!

Loving your hair!!!! So pretty

Awesome content! You explain things so clearly. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 🖤🌞👍🤗

I love writing spells. I’m currently writing my own Circle Casting and I find that when I type things out then write a copy of that version that I get inspiration that flows better.

Thankyou you’re great at explaining things. I agree. Spell work should come from within. 💜😇🙏😘👍

holy crap... I need to help my room now. You're is so amazing

I never thought of how candles would vee short spells but it makes sense! I think they work out when the short spell can have a lasting result like blessing an interview of a friend.

Your instruction is so helpful and reinforcing. Thank you so much. I am about to do a garden ritual and you really just reinforced my desire to write my spell based on what my partner wants to achieve with his garden.

FANTASTIC video! 💞

I've just started to watch your videos and you are amazing! What you have say is really helpful the information you have and the detail really helps me in my practice so thank you

Your advice on working a spell around an intention is spot on. Every magickal practitioner should do this

This was a really helpful video. Thank you, Hearth.

Very powerful and informative videos, very well said. Keep sharing. Thank you.

Thaaaaank you once again beautiful!!! This was very useful. 🖤🔮

Very good advice! I’ve been writing spells for books for years, but even when I was new I always tweaked and tailored the spells I found in books. I always encourage people to adjust the spells I’ve written or use them as inspiration for spells of their own. I hope lots of people try writing their own spells after watching this video! Great work!

You are most definitely a living spell.I feel your energy and desire more. Like a floral scented cool summer breeze.I believe without a "shadow" of a doubt..it is in fact our time.The solutions to all we occur are beneath our feet, yet the desire to learn access is discarded for instant gratification . We all possess free thought and we all rent this Earth..Spending even a better portion of your life discovering possibility's and ultimately applying/testing them is fine.. I truly never understood why some, hold back on sharing thoughts .Everyone alive knows something I don't,and something you don't .Say what you will,listen to everything.. Leo

I just happened to stumble across this RU-vid video channel and thank you for sharing

Great one again, thanks Hearth

Thanks for sharing all this great information.

Such a great video! Its really informative anf helped me a lot :) thank you

The best witchkraft channel for beginners out there. Everything is so appropriately put together for starting out. 👌👌

Great job sweetie, you are right on with ALL of your information. As usual....you are a rock'in darlin!!

Finally got chance to sit down and watch. Littlest witchling needed emergency surgery last night so life has gone a bit sideways since Tuesday. Anyway she's recovering and I'm so happy to settle down and watch a new video. With spells I generally start by researching spells others have used for a similar purpose. I figure out what seems the right items to bring together for the specific circumstances. So I look at correspondences for incense, crystals, candles, herbs and anything else that my intuition tells me makes sense. Sometimes I include moon phases days of the week. It can feel overwhelming to start with but it's worth learning to trust yourself because then the spells and rituals are tailored to you.

I'm in loooove with your work here in RU-vid! May I ask you to do a video about shielding and protective spell (from human attack and from negative spirit influence)? I'm sorry for my english >

I love your channel!

Great vid, thanks for the tips 👍

enjoyed this video a lot, thank you.

Thank you hearth 💖

I love your hair like this!

I needed this so much... I suck at pre-written spells and most spells are off the top of my head or wordless because they seem to work better.

Thank you very useful information I have always done my own spells 🌺❤️

I like this video, now I have a better idea how to choose with different candles and what not. always something new to learn with you. Thank you for doing this.

So much great information! I am a new witch and I’m discovering that spells I write myself work much better.

Another great video 🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏thank you, thank you! 🧝🏻‍♀️

Thank you Hearth!!!!!!

Loved this video and your outfit.

Love your videos ❤

I learned a~lot from ur video. Thank U so much for sharing ur idea's & knowledge. Blessed be

I would very much like to see a tutorial on how to create poppets or doll babies.

Super awesome to listen to you! Thanks for the information. I am more into candles, however I would love to learn about sugar bowls as well. Love the herbs as well.

You mentioned there are some good books of correspondences, but you didn’t list any in the description. Do you have any recommendations? This was a great video. I’m so glad to hear someone say you dont have to write out words that will be spoken aloud. Sometimes I do get some inspiration for words, but most often thats not how it works for me.

Thank you for this.

my god your video is AMAZING

Was there a legitimate pause when you unintentionally rhymed a couplet? You looked like you were having "a moment" when you realized you'd done it.

Very well explained ty

used these ideas to make my new moon ritual today, so I filmed it for my channel and instagram

This is so helpful, thank you! Could you give us a list of types of workings? Like potions, jars, etc? I‘m still very lost with picking a type of working for my intention as I‘m not sure what types there are

Please do a video on how to come up with a witch name and maybe how you came up with yours! Not too many videos out there on how to find a name which truly resinates, Love your videos!! xoxo

You're right. As a beginner, I can see how using a wand could be more of a hindrance as far as still learning energy manipulation. At this point, i only see myself using a wand maybe for dipping into flower water to then use it to sprinkle certain areas for anointing or cleaning parts of the floor.

Thanks again

great video

Blessed Be ❤

Hey Hearth, newbie subscriber here. :) and a new-ish witch. I was wondering if you had an in-depth tarot card for beginners video in mind? Love your videos and have been binge watching over the last few weeks :) I would love to see you do a video with the Rider Waite deck, maybe a dive into the cards and spreads

your hair😻

She told us do think of things that we want to get out of this, then she started saying most people wanted money and luck and,all those crazy things. I just wanted to summon a tiny sphere of light the size of a coin.

Can you do a witchy room tour or house tour and possibly talk the difference between Scottish witchcraft or British witchcraft versus North America witchcraft

'777' by Crowley and Bennett is a good correspondence book..

i really enjoy your videos. i haven’t done any spell work but i really want to attract the right partner so i think i’ll try some of the fun things you talked about. thinking about making a doll that represents my dream man haha

Love it

thank You🌹

I have written out my intention and folded it 3 times. Then, with a string or yarn of the corresponding color, I make a witches ladder while reciting the ladder spell. Then i wrap the ladder around my petition 3 times and bind it with 3 knots. Then on a full moon I burn it to manifest it

Re: money spells, I have a a few work for me I love how they manifest, my most recent was refund from Amazon, I was missing an item or two and they refunded that, then proceeded to refund me every single item from the same order one at a time... I’m still receiving emails haha

Just started following you!! Amazing!! I’m in the US. I have a question, have you done videos explaining more about the different types of methods you discuss here. I am just getting into witchcraft, I have only written. candle and crystal magic. I noticed you said candles happen fast, but also dissipate fast.So I am curious about other forms in detail.

You are fantastic, too.

Do a video on protection candles

thank u

I have written out my intentions and placed them in my manifestation box, and it's done ots job, I burn the petition on the next full moon since I no longer need it anymore.

I sometimes use pre-existing spells but find ways to tweak it to make it mine. Like if it is something that involves a rune, instead of using the 1 provided, I create my own
