Enchantment magic, ever wonder how to enchant an item? A doll, a talisman or perhaps some other magical construct? What about enchanting various herbs or crystals for a spell?
Enchantment magic takes many shapes and forms, but for the purpose of this article I want to break it down. First, I teach my coven to enchant every ingredient or component, every step of the way. Then enchant the complete item or finished work. For more, explore this blog of connect with us on Instagram, Facebook (Meta) or TikTok.
The little steps of enchanting as you go really add up to much more. But how does one enchant? Enchanting overall can be a complex undertaking, but here I want to give you the very basic technique. Enchanting is different than charging or cleansing, it’s telling something what to do based on its nature.
Wearing a crystal? Well, you get those baseline properties to benefit from. Charge it and there’s more energy, cleanse it and it functions better. Enchanting it, you can tell it what to do for you specifically for the most benefit.
Some people scoff at the idea of chanting. Oh yes, I just wave my hands, chant some words, and—poof!—my laundry still isn’t done. Truly, magic knows no bounds. Don’t listen to them. Just like a spell, sometimes it takes a little time to see the effects of an enchantment. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen quite quickly sometimes though.
How Do I Do Enchantment Magic?
In the sternum area, front and back, this known as “the seat of power”, “seat of rule” and the “seat of will”. We take in tremendous energy from the world around us in this area; the earth, the air, the fire, the water We take it in from trees, plants, crystals, rock, sound and emotional energy. All kinds of energy. We take in energy everywhere, but predominantly in this area. Your emotional energy plays a huge role too.
This, along with the energy we generate ourselves, is the power for enchantment magic. As we take in this energy, along with our own, it spins about inside of us, cyclonic in nature, very quick. Being left-handed, my turns Deosil, or clockwise. A right-handed person’s energy spins Widdershins or counterclockwise.
My left hand is more energy out, projecting. My right hand is more drawing and sensing. Both are capable of each, but you are dominantly one or the other. A right hander is just the opposite.
Whenever we are holding an item twixt our hands before the seat of will, one energy out, one energy in – now we are passing a current through it. We let our will and intention flow with it and tell an item what to do based on its nature. That’s where correspondences come in. I enchant my tarot cards and deck for tarot readings in this manner too. I have all kinds of things around my home and metaphysical shop I have enchanted.
Enchantments According to Correspondence
Mint corresponds with luck, money, travel, health, protection (and to honor Hecate). We wouldn’t want to tell it to do something contrary to its nature. Would you do something contrary to your nature? Probably not.
Keep in mind though, this is but one aspect of enchantment magic, specifically how to enchant a singular item. There are many ways to augment enchantments too.
Stacking Enchantments
Stacking EnchantmentsSo, as I mentioned, I teach enchantment magic to my coven to enchant everything, every step of the way. If you are going to make a clay doll, enchant the clay. Are you going to add three herbs of choice to the clay? Enchant all three herbs separately. If you are going to place a crystal in the bosom for heart, enchant that too. Call upon the metaphysical or magical properties useful to the working.
All those add up and then at the last, enchant the clay doll as a whole and complete work. In short, enchant the final product according to its ultimate purpose.
Learn about correspondence, take the time to look them up before choosing components or ingredients. Oak corresponds with fire among other things, while willow corresponds with water. Fire corresponds with manifestation, creativity, banishment and more. Water corresponds with healing, psychic matters and other things. There are also planetary days and hours, these too are correspondences. The lunar cycles and phases have correspondences. There are elemental correspondences, in fact, there are all kinds. The better your correspondence, the better your magic.
Enchanting Example
So let’s do some enchantment magic and work with some loose white sage. This herb corresponds with fire, purification and exorcism. Let’s say we want to cleanse our home and going to burn this bit in a cauldron. Hold the sage twixt the hands, attune to its energy. I tell the sage “awake”, and talk to it like a friend. Feel the energy of the sage. When I tune into white sage, it’s like how the sun feels on my skin, but in warm pulses. I see warm orange colors. Interestingly, white sage corresponds with fire.
Feel the energy of the world around you flowing through you along with your own. Flowing through the sage. Tell the sage to purify the home, to exorcise and banish all harmful and unhelpful energies. Take your time and give yourself to the process and enjoy enhanced success.
Happy Enchanting!

Enchanting when doing magic makes a huge difference!! You have to say what you want and mean it and your hands are the energy!
Exactly, whenever we hold something ‘twixt the hands we pass a current through it. Telling a thing what to do based on it’s nature is the very beginning of enchanting something. Though this article really simplifies it, it is the perfect place to start. Thanks for taking the time to enjoy it. Blessings!
I’ve found enchanting each item helps to give you pause, to reflect/focus on your true intentions. I believe this focus and reflection helps to build the energy in telling the item what you want it to do. I like to put enchantment into practice when I’m cooking as well. Enchanting each herb and ingredient I use 🙂
