Magic spells for writers? Spells for writers block?
Years ago, I suffered from nasty writers block.
Writing was what I wanted to do with my life, but sitting at the computer, or even writing on a tablet, and I was STUCK STUCK STUCK.
I was also early into my Witchcraft journey and decided to strike a “light” deal with Brigid: Help me through my writers’ block, and I’ll write a book for you!
And Brigid came through.
I wrote a phenomenal short story that not only got me to ace my class, it was published, nominated for awards, and helped me purge a few personal demons. Now. Naturally. Brigid came for her payment and the result was my first book Brigid: History, Mystery, and Magick of the Celtic Goddess. I’ve never looked back.
My journey with Brigid has helped me overcome my own writing blocks. Here is the first spell I ever did for creativity. If you’re struggling with writers’ block, perhaps it will help you, too!
What you’ll need:
- A red candle
- Neutral oil (olive or grapeseed is fine)
- A pinch of cinnamon
- Your favorite writing pen
What you’ll do:
Pour a little oil in a small bowl (maybe 1-2 Tablespoons). Add the pinch of cinnamon. Place just a dab on the candle, a dab on your favorite pen, and a dab on your forehead. Light the candle with the following prayer:
Brigid of power, Brigid of light,
Break the blocks that cloud my sight.
At this point, consider making an offering in kind. Perhaps you’ll write a poem for her. Maybe you’ll pour out a beer in her honor. If you choose to write a book for her, be prepared that it’s a big order!
Use that anointed pen to write. You’ll be amazed at the creativity that begins to flow.
Witches are powerful beings, but still, many struggle with the writing process.
This is why I’m delighted to announce that I’m offering a NEW virtual series:
