10 Easy Spells Using Everyday Items

We’ve all seen spells and rituals from ancient grimoires that call for using an abstract item that is unattainable for the average person, but don’t forget that witchcraft is a multifaceted practice that (while often can seem complex) doesn't always have to be. Magick can be as simple as focusing your energy and intentions within everyday items. The beauty of witchcraft is that you don't need expensive tools or complicated rituals to tap into your potential. By using things you already have at home, you can perform simple yet powerful spells.

Let’s explore 10 easy spells using everyday items!

Once your items are cleansed, they are ready to be infused with your energy.
