Many of us want our work lives to run a little more smoothly, or would like to bring a touch of magick to our work day or space. If this is you and you want to know how, then this is for you!
Workplace Spells - Everyday Magick on the job by Marla Brooks, covers a lot of this and more.
Whether you are currently working from home and facing a whole host of new unforeseen stresses, are a keyworker or finding the school runs a little more intense than they used to be, please read on for a few helpful spells that will help to restore balance and harmony in your day.
Please note: All links are either to by business pages (Healing Moons) or to a company that I am a consultant for and you can contact me directly about purchasing the items needed for these spells.
Working From Home
Working from home can bring a whole new set of stresses to our lives that we didn't think we would have to deal with until this year, but to help bring a bit of harmony back into your life you can try this simple Harmony Powder spell around your workspace to help restore peace while you work.
"If your workplace is stressful you might want to try this harmony powder to settle things down. There are many versions of this recipe floating about, but this is the one I like the best."
You will need
3 drops of rose oil
5 drops of sandalwood oil
7 drops of lavender oil
A handful of talcum powder
A teaspoon of dried and powdered chamomile flowers
"Mix everything but the talc together in a ceramic bowl with a fork until well blended. Add the talcum powder and mix well.
Visualise a warm blue light building and radiating from the powder as you mix. Do this until you are satisfied that everything is incorporated well and the blue light is set. Then gently pour the powder into a little paper envelope or sachet.
Go into work a little bit early the next morning and sprinkle the powder around the office"
This is from the book, but can be used in your home office or work area before you start your workday no matter your schedule.
Keyworkers and Travelling to Work
Not all of us are working from home right now, and it's important that we have a trouble free journey when getting to and from our place of work, as it can set the mood of our day or shift.
So to help with that I've included the Get to Work on Time spell below from the book
"Let's face it. Very few of us relish the thought of getting up early, especially when we have to face a new day at work, so even though we do manage to drag ourselves out of bed, we lolligag around the house, have that second cup of coffee, wait until the very last minute to actually leave home and then end up being late for work.
If this sounds like you, there is a simple spell that you can do every Sunday night before bed that should get you out the door on time every day of the work week.
You Will Need
1 stick or cone of either myrrh, frankincense or cinnamon incense
1 adventurine gemstone
Find a quiet spot, light the incense, hold the gemstone in your hand and repeat the following incantation:
Morning's no time to dilly-dally,
I must wake up each day and prepare to rally,
Let the morning sun bathe me in its golden glow,
And grant me the power to get-up-and-go.
So mote it be
Note: If you have to wake up while it's still dark outside, or the day is rainy or overcast, use this incantation instead:
As I embark on each new day,
Bless me with energy to light my way,
With a sense of purpose and a lively gait,
Get me out the door so I won't be late.
So Mote It Be"
School Runs and Tackling Anxiety
While work might not be on everyone's mind first thing of a morning, with school runs and errands to be done, there is still something that can help ease the stress and anxieties of these.
And with this in mind, I've included and anti-anxiety spell also taken from the book - Workplace Spells by Marla Brooks
"Whether you have an appointment with your boss for your yearly review, have to get up and go to an important presentation, or are just plain stressed out about a particular aspect of your job, this spell should help you calm down and get you through it.
You Will Need
A small silver bell
The night before your stressful event is to occur, light a vanilla-scented candle (or anoint a plain white candle with vanilla oil) and place a small silver bell next to it. Take three deep cleansing breaths, ring the bell three times, and then repeat the following chant:
Sweet smell, silver bell, I ask that you do my bidding.
Tension, worry, stress and fear, now's the time for ridding.
Calm and propriety replace the anxiety, these things I ask of thee.
So Mote It Be
Take three more deep cleansing breaths and ring the bell thrice more. Blow out the candle and rub the smoke in the palms of your hands, then open your hands, palms up, to the sky and release your intentions into the ethers."
Personal Thoughts
I personally love the simplicity of the spells in this book, and all of the additional magical uses for oils, incense, gemstones/crystals, symbolism and more all simply and effectively presented in this slim and easy to follow book with glossy pages. Which I know I'll be using for reference for years to come as well.
There are also instructions on how to raise your energy for spell work, creating a sacred space and circle to work in, along with over 50 practical work related spells.
Information on divination, candle magick, guides, deities and the full wiccan rede making it a great starting point for anyone interested in starting out with their first spells. In my eyes they can also be looked upon as law of attraction practices, to harness energy and focus to bring desired circumstances to fruition.
They are designed as a starting point which you can expand on and alter slightly to create something more fitting to your situation, or even from scratch when you are more seasoned in the practices by using the additional information to decide which items to use in your own spells and practices.
Should you wish to purchase a copy of the book you can do so via the Schiffer Red Feather publishing site or most reputable bookstores.
I would like to thank Schiffer Red Feather publishers for the opportunity of reviewing this title, and you can find more reviews coming soon.
I hope you enjoyed my thoughts on this
Until next time
