Elemental Magic Spells

Elemental magic spells are based on, and gain their energy from, the main universal elements. These power spells are based around water, earth, fire, air or the spirit - channelling the raw energy and enabling you to use it as an instrument. The type of spell that you choose will depend on the effects you want to achieve as each element has unique characteristics. To help you find and perform the right elemental magic spells I have put together some information on what each element offers and how you can benefit in your spell casting.

Fire Spells
One of the most popular areas of elemental magic spells, fire is powerful, energising and potentially destructive. But it has a very primal feel about it and is therefore a wonderful element for you to use to build your skills and test your potential. Spells to control fire, such as moving the candle flame, take practise and patience but will really show you what you're capable of.

Water Spells
Water spells are amongst the most flexible of all elemental magic spells. Think of how water is around us in so many varied forms and states and you will see why - it carries the force of the sea, the gentle flow of a stream and is of course the giver of life. So water spells can bring calm to your life, help you to get things developing and moving along or inject the necessary power into your spell (and life!).

Air Spells
Air spells can be very cleansing and are therefore perfect for new beginnings and banishing spells. They can be used to carry away your problems and rid yourself of the negativity of every day life and others around you. They are often very simple elemental magic spells, involving placing herbs or powders in the palm of your hand and blowing away the issues.

Earth Spells
Earth spells are for more every day matters, so spells that relate to money, that require a 'down to earth' or common sense point of view or even for protection. Use ingredients such as herbs, or things grown in the earth to invoke its power.

Spirit Spells
Spells of the spirit should be personal to you - this element is essentially you. Wherever possible, perform spells that you have written yourself. You can also include and make use of your psychic ability to help you visualise your spell's purpose or fix on the future outcome. You can also use meditation to help ground yourself, which will help to both preserve and focus your energies. You may wonder at why spirit spells are classed as an elemental magic spell here. But remember that spell work should centre around your relationship with the world around you and you are always firmly at the heart of all your work.

Spells And The Moon

Spells work best in tandem with nature’s mysterious, magical and powerful objects. Of these, the moon is number one on the list for spell-givers.

The following are some refresher notes on spells and the phases of the moon.

New Moon / Dark Moon

Just like the full moon, the new moon (or dark moon) is the most opportune time to remove things from our lives. It is usually the time when you are most powerful in spell-giving.

This is a good time to reverse spells others have cast, ideal for banishing spells and focusing on the replacement of any negative effects all around.

However, keep in mind that when asking for something to be removed, there is a void left open. Ask for something positive and fill up that space.

To prevent a waxing influence on your spellwork, the banishing spells and rituals must be done before the beginning of the new moon. The most powerful time for spells is three days after the appearance of the new moon.

Black Moon

When two new moons appear during a single month, the second new moon is regarded as the stronger of the two. This is the best time to cast spells that deal on addiction.

Waxing Moon

The time of the waxing moon to full moon is the best time to cast spells on situations and events that concerns us. The waxing moon is perfect for spellwork regarding success, protection, abundance, friendships, luck, new beginnings, and love.

The waxing moon is wonderful for good, constructive magic.

First Quarter

This is the mid-point between the new moon and the full moon. This is the time most ideal in focusing and meditating on attracting new positive things toward you. These things will grow as the moon waxes.

Waxing gibbous

This is the perfect time to focus on fruition and completion of your spellwork, and the time to focus and meditate on all the spellwork you did during the waxing phase.

This is also good to do any magical work on prophecy, protection or divination.

Full Moon

This is the time to meditate on the divine power of the universe and pray that it shall also strengthen and empower us. The full moon imparts the strongest power for all invocations and spells.

This is the time to cast your most powerful magic spells. To avoid a waning influence, cast your spells and do your rituals before the exact time of a full moon.

Blue Moon

When a month has two full moons, the 2nd full moon is deemed the stronger and more powerful. For your spells and rituals that need an extra kick, this is the time to do them.

This is also the time to meditate on your life’s goals and to assess your successes and failures.

Waning Gibbous

This is the best time to banish the things we don’t want anymore in our lives. Plus, it is time to meditate on cleansing and removing all negativity around us.

Last Quarter

This is the time for ending things, much like the moon going to the end of its cycle. Focus and meditate on balancing your body’s energies, replacing negatives with positives.

Waning Moon

The time of the waning to the new moon is also the best time to remove unwanted circumstances in our lives. Cast banishing spells against enemies, addictions, sickness, negativity, and evil. Cleanse yourself of the things you no longer need.
