Journal Spell to Fight Your Fears
You’ll need:
- A blank journal and a red pen
Do you ever wish you had more courage? Sometimes if we could only speak up, take that first step, or make a leap of faith, we’d feel better. A lack of courage isn’t something to be ashamed of, and it’s certainly something you can overcome with a bit of time and effort. This spell, which will take three weeks, should help you get focused and brave enough to make the decisions you need to.
Begin by making a list of what scares you on the first page - not the mundane things like spiders or heights, but the big, life changing issues, like Being aloneorMaking a new start. Once you have your list, turn the page. Each day, for the next 21 days, right the list again, but add the words I am not afraid of… in front of each item. Speak it out loud as you write.
After you’ve written your list on the last day, build a fire, burn the journal, and send away your fears for good.

Spring Wildflower Inspiration Crown
You’ll need:
- A selection of wildflowers with stems
- Ribbons in silver, purple, and gold
During the merry month of May, wildflowers are blooming all over the place. Why not take advantage of what’s available, weave flowers into a crown, and use it for inspiration when your creative juices are feeling blocked? Find a field where you can collect wildflowers undisturbed, and do this spell on a bright, sunny afternoon.
Gather up as many wildflowers as you can, and find a quiet place just sit. We’ve the flowers together into a circle, much like the Daisy chains you made as a child, until you have enough to sit comfortably on your head. As you are connecting the flowers, let your mind wander a bit, opening up to the issue at hand - in which aspects of your life do you need to unlock your creativity? Add the ribbons for a finishing look, and place the crown on your head, saying “Inspiration come to me, vision and creativity, ideas and insight flowing free, as I will, so it shall be.”
Relax in the field, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine, until you’re ready to go home. Thank floral crown over your workspace to help inspire you.
