How to Raise Energy for Spellwork
How to Raise Energy for Spellwork teaches beginner steps for raising personal energy for witchcraft, crystals for energy work, and musical playlists for energy-raising with the Green Hearth Witch! Learning about magical energy is one of the most important aspects of the craft.
I remember when I first began practicing witchcraft, I didn’t know anything about raising energy or grounding techniques. There was no teacher waiting in the wings to show me the way, so I had to learn things the hard way.
It’s one of the reasons that I created this website. I wanted to design the website that I always wished I could find online about the craft.
As I grew more comfortable in my power, I began to figure things out on my own. I also read a lot of great books on the subject. More importantly, I practiced the craft daily.
I wanted to learn everything there was to know about the craft. That’s how I eventually figured out that not only am I a green witch, but I’m a green hearth witch because I work out of my home a lot.
During the experimental stages of learning the craft, I crafted spells several times a week and was always willing to try new things. I think through that, I raised my energy. I became adept at raising energy through consistency and, eventually, weaving the magical into the mundane.
Currently, I’m in a place in my magic where I’m able to do very little to raise energy for spells. I’m also able to work with low-energy spellwork when I need to at any given time. But it did take me a long time to get there.
Everyone starts somewhere in the craft. We often come to it seeking empowerment over our own lives, instead of continuing to give our power away. Today, I’m going to cover ground on raising energy for magical spells and rituals!
How to Raise Energy for Spellwork
Learning how to raise energy for spellwork doesn’t have to be difficult, but it is called a practice for a reason. Practice makes perfect! Honing your craft is all part of how you build energy work into your practice.
So go ahead and make spell jars, intention simmer pots, and wearable planter spells! Learn everything you can about your interests and passions in the craft. This automatically raises energy over time.
My first advice is to keep practicing, even if you feel you are making mistakes! Part of learning and growing is throwing spaghetti at a wall. You are going to experiment, make mistakes, and hopefully learn and grow from them.
In other words, don’t be afraid to get in there and try new things! Keep a journal of your journey and record your observations and experiences. It’s important to follow your passions to get a feel for your practice.
By putting in the work, you’ll slowly raise your energy and channel it into your craftwork. Eventually, you’ll become more confident and powerful in your magical practice.
Apart from growing into your magical practice, there are some specific ways you can raise energy for each herbal spell or magical ritual that you do. Take what resonates and throw away the rest. It’s all up to you!
Beginner Steps for Raising Personal Energy for Witchcraft
Raising your personal energy as a beginner witch can add a lot to your spells. Raising energy makes your spells more powerful and more likely to stick.
While most people suggest creating an energy ball with your hands, I recommend starting with a wand. If you don’t have a wand, you can even use your finger to stir energy.
Wands focus and direct energy to where you want it to go. If you like working in the kitchen, you can use DIY green kitchen witch wands. Items like cinnamon sticks and bourbon vanilla bean wands make great kitchen wands!
To get started, you’ll need to choose your vessel, preferably something that can hold a potion. Maybe your favorite mug or a wine glass. Find the one that resonates with you!
Grab a drinking glass with moon water, or another potion you may like, and practice using your wand or finger to stir energy into the spell. You’ll begin to feel the energy, and sometimes, you can even get the wand to spin by itself using your own personal brand of energy.
I recommend practicing this daily until you really feel you’ve grasped the concept. Once you’ve got the concept down, you can move on to feeling, visualizing, and making your intention 3D. This step is important in the creation of your spell!
Eventually, you’ll begin to get a feel for how you bring intention to life! Some people feel things into existence, while others need detailed imagery. The point of this exercise is to find what works for you by raising energy.
Crystals for Energy Work
Using crystals for energy work is another great way to raise energy in your spellwork! Crystals live on different vibrations. When you hold one in your hand or place it on your skin, you’ll feel the vibration, and it will download its energy.
For energy work, I highly recommend using gemstones with a point. Selenite wands are also a great choice, since they’re wands. As we learned before, wands and points focus energy and channel it into a single point.
While you can use any kind of healing stone for spellcasting, make sure it matches the vibration of your spell. If it’s a love spell, you might try rose quartz or lepidolite. For a money spell, you might try aventurine for luck and moss agate.
Study crystals to find your energetic match! Gemstones were one of the first things I learned about when I began taking baby steps into the craft. They are a huge part of my plant spirit practice.
Working with crystals automatically raises the vibration of your spellwork! It increases the energetic bluesprint of your herbal spell or magical ritual.
My Favorite Crystals for Magical Spells and Rituals
Tiger’s Eye - A crystal for good luck, business, and protection! This is a crystal that keeps my best interests at heart. It feels like it looks out for me, like an angel from above!
Aventurine - A crystal for luck, travel, and adventure! This is a crystal that I like to bring on the road with me. It brings me good luck and serendipitous moments!
Selenite Wands - A crystal for clearing out all the chakras! This is a crystal that I like for mindfulness and meditation. It can also be used as a wand!
Amethyst - A crystal for sleep magic and dream work! This is a crystal that I like to use for hedge riding. Amethyst can also be used for divination and psychic powers!
Moonstone - A crystal for practicing any kind of moon magic. This is a crystal I like to use for full moon magic spells and rituals. Moonstone can also be used to enhance the third-eye chakra!
Black Tourmaline - A crystal for energy clearing and protection. This is a crystal I like to use to ward off psychic attacks. Black tourmaline can also be used for grounding after performing a spell!
Lepidolite - A crystal for heart-opening and emotional healing. This is my favorite crystal for inviting romance into my life! Lepidolite can also be used for shielding against dark, negative energies!
Rose Quartz - A crystal for love, romance, and heart healing. This is a crystal I like to use for holistic healing. Rose quartz can also be used to activate the heart chakra!
Musical Playlists for Energy-Raising
Making musical playlists to raise energy is one of my favorite things to do! Music makes you feel things deeply. Sometimes, it paints a picture.
More importantly, music tells a story that you can hear, feel, and see in your mind! This automatically raises energy. If you can find music that matches your intention, that’s even better!
You can also use your favorite, most heartfelt music to sing to your spell! If enchanting items is your goal, then you can enchant items through song. Make sure the song matches the vibrational energy of what you’re enchanting.
I even have a playlist for making an herbal astral servitor using energy! Music raises your energy and lifts it up. That’s exactly what you need when doing any kind of spellcasting.
If you practice house witchcraft, as I do, it’s a good idea to play some music while you do your chores, rituals, and routines around the home. Hearth witches weave magic into the everyday mundane.
Play music and dance around your home! Talk about the perfect way to give your spellwork an energy boost. Music can make you happy, sad, and everything in between!
I recommend creating your own playlists to lift your mood and spirits! It’s important to feel open-hearted, not closed off, when performing herbal spells and remedies. Music makes that possible!
