Spell Correspondences

These are symbols that you can use in writing spells.  As I explained, spells are basically just a group of symbols that have been put together to represent something.  For example the symbols for love might be love hearts, pink, red, roses, satin sheets etc.  So your spell could include red and pink candles, rose petals and a nice relaxing sleep in new satin sheets.  You might have different correspondences for your spells, but these are what the different spells represent for me (Don’t forget herbs and crystals too)

To use these correspondences, look up the type of spell you want to do, and the symbols that represent it.  For example: If you were doing a spell to heal a broken relationship you could look at the correspondences for “relationships” and see which of those would suit the spell you wish to do.  For example: Cakes are good for relationships, so you could make a cake that you would either share with the person, or give to the person.  The colours pink and Orange represent relationships, so you might like to make the icing one of those colours.  Cocoa can be used in making the cake (making a chocolate cake), and you could decorate it with Celtic knotwork, or woven designs.  You could use the numbers (2,3,9,12,18) in the number of times you stir the cake mix, the number of chocolate chips you decorate the cake with, you could write a little poem to say while you are stirring the cake, and say it 3 times.  You could include the baking of the cake in with your ritual, cast the circle around the kitchen, and while the cake is baking, you can be chanting/singing, or performing other parts of the spell.
