Finding the Voice of Power
For centuries, the voices of those accused of witchcraft were silenced. In the shadow of witch trials, women, healers, midwives, and outcasts were stripped of their names, their wisdom dismissed, their cries for justice unheard. To be called a “witch” was not a badge of power, but a sentence of fear and often death. Silence was forced upon them, and their stories were lost in the flames.
Today, as witches, we stand on the shoulders of those silenced ones. To reclaim the word “witch” is also to reclaim the right to speak, to lift our voices in truth, power, and defiance. Yet in a world that still rewards quiet compliance and punishes those who speak against injustice, using our voices can feel daunting. We are told to soften our edges, to stay polite, to avoid being “too much.” But witches were never meant to be quiet.
Our magic is in the words we weave. Every spell is a declaration, every chant a rising tide, every whispered prayer a spark of transformation. To speak with conviction is to cast a spell of change, both within and beyond ourselves. When we use our voices, we honour those who were denied theirs. We send a clear message into the world: that silence will not be our inheritance, that our truths matter, and that justice demands to be named.
The Voice of Power Spell is a working designed to amplify your courage and clarity, to help you speak truth where it needs to be heard. It is a spell of remembrance and reclamation, a way to carry the voices of our ancestors forward while anchoring your own in strength.
This spell is a working of courage and clarity, designed to open your throat, strengthen your will, and send your words flying true. It is not about shouting louder than others, but about speaking with resonance, conviction, and enchantment, the kind of speech that cannot be ignored. Use it when you need to stand firm, call out injustice, or simply remember that your voice matters, that your truth is worthy of being heard.
You will need:
- A blue candle (for clarity, truth, and communication)
- A pinch of salt (for protection and grounding)
- A small mirror (to reflect and amplify your voice)
- A feather or incense smoke (to carry your words)
- Your voice, steady and strong
The Spell:
1) Mark your circle or simply breathe deeply, letting the air around you thicken with intention. Sprinkle salt before you as a shield, whispering, “I am safe, I am steady, I am heard.”
2) Place the blue candle before the mirror. As it burns, see the light bouncing back and forth, doubling, tripling. This is your voice, echoing louder and further than you imagined possible.
3) Hold the feather or waft the incense smoke, saying: “Air, carry my words with clarity. Fire, fuel my courage. Water, let compassion flow through me. Earth, keep me grounded and strong.”
4) Stand tall. Look into the mirror. See your own eyes shining back. Say three times, with growing strength:
“I speak with power, I speak with truth, My voice cuts through the lies uncouth. No chain of silence binds me still, I call for justice, I speak my will.”
5) Blow the feather gently toward the candle flame, imagining your words being carried out into the world. Close with gratitude, and let the candle burn down safely or snuff it out to relight whenever you need to speak with fire.
