A Spell for Strength
There are times in life when we need more than just resilience—we need true strength. Whether facing a difficult challenge, recovering from heartache, or stepping into a new version of yourself, magic can help summon the inner power needed to endure and thrive. This spell calls upon both physical and emotional strength, drawing energy from the elements to fortify your spirit.
What You’ll Need:
- A red or black candle (for power and endurance)
- A small stone or crystal (such as hematite, tiger’s eye, or onyx)
- A bowl of water (for emotional resilience)
- A handful of salt or earth (for stability and grounding)
- A piece of paper and a pen
The Spell
1. Setting the Space
Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Cast a protective circle if you wish, or simply take a moment to centre yourself. Light the candle, allowing its flame to represent the fire of your inner strength.
2. Writing Your Intention
On the piece of paper, write what you seek strength for. Be specific—are you needing courage to face a difficult situation, endurance to complete a long journey, or inner resilience to heal from something? Once written, hold the paper to your chest and take a deep breath, letting your energy flow into the words.
3. Calling Upon the Elements
Each element offers a different kind of strength:
- Fire (candle flame): Willpower, courage, determination
- Earth (salt or soil): Stability, endurance, grounding
- Water (bowl of water): Emotional resilience, adaptability
- Air (your breath): Clarity, inner wisdom, focus
As you hold each element, speak aloud how you wish to embody its strength. For example:
“Fire, grant me the courage to face my challenges with unwavering resolve.”
“Earth, steady my spirit and keep me grounded in difficult times.”
“Water, let me flow through obstacles without losing myself.”
“Air, bring me the wisdom to know when to fight and when to yield.”
4. Charging the Stone
Hold the stone or crystal in your hands and focus all the strength you have—past victories, moments when you have overcome struggles, the resilience you already possess. Let that power flow into the stone, sealing it with your intention.
5. Releasing the Spell
Burn the piece of paper in the candle flame (if safe to do so) or bury it in the earth as a symbol of your strength taking root. Keep the stone with you as a talisman of power, a reminder that you are strong enough to endure whatever comes.
When the spell is complete, take a deep breath, thank the elements, and blow out the candle. Your strength is already within you—this spell simply awakens it.
