7 Spells Every Beginner Witch Regrets Not Learning First

 by Amira Asmodea

Welcome, young witchling. Whether you felt the pull under a full moon or stumbled into the craft with a candle and a curious heart, know this: you are not alone. The path of magic is ancient, beautiful, and often confusing when you're just starting out. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last eighty years of spellcasting, it’s that there are some foundational spells every beginner witch wishes they'd learned right from the start.

These aren't flashy, cinematic rituals. They're practical, powerful, and rooted in centuries of folk magic. They build your confidence, ground your practice, and protect your space.

So, light a candle, grab your journal, and settle in as I share with you the 7 spells every beginner regrets not learning first.

1. The Circle of Protection

Before any spell, before any ritual, learn to cast a circle. This is your sacred boundary, your energetic home base. It shields you from unwanted influences, spiritual noise, and your own scattered energy.

What you'll need:

• A quiet space

• Salt (or a piece of chalk)

• A candle (optional)

How to do it: Mark a circle around your working space with salt or chalk. Stand at the eastern point. Slowly walk the circle clockwise, saying:

"By earth, air, fire, and sea, I cast this circle to protect me."

Visualize a dome of light forming around you. This is your sacred space.

2. A Simple Grounding Spell

A scattered witch is an ineffective witch. Grounding helps you connect with the Earth, release excess energy, and stay balanced.

What you'll need:

• A small stone

• A patch of earth (or a plant in a pot)

How to do it: Hold the stone in your dominant hand. Place your bare feet on the ground. Close your eyes and say:

"With this stone and soil beneath, I anchor deep and find relief."

Feel any nervous or chaotic energy flowing down into the ground. Do this before or after every ritual.

3. The White Candle Wish Spell

Every beginner wants to manifest something. But intention needs direction.

What you'll need:

• A white candle

• A pin or toothpick

• A piece of paper

How to do it: Carve your wish into the candle with the pin. Write the same on the paper. Fold the paper and place it under the candle. Light it and say:

"By flame so bright, I send this plea, let it return fulfilled to me."

Let the candle burn safely, fully. Watch how your intent dances in the flame.

4. The Freezer Spell for Banishing Gossip or Harm

Some people just won’t stop talking. Others send bad energy your way. Here’s a spell that freezes their influence.

What you'll need:

• A small piece of paper

• A pen

• A sealable container or ziplock

• Water

How to do it: Write the name of the person on the paper. Put it in the container with water and say:

"I freeze your harm, your words, your ill. You hold no power, nor ever will."

Seal it and place it in your freezer. It halts their energetic reach.

---

5. The Cleansing Broom Sweep

Sometimes, energy stagnates. Before you start worrying about hexes, clean your space.

What you'll need:

• A small broom (or your regular one)

• Salt water or lavender spray

How to do it: Sprinkle the salt water lightly over your floor. Sweep as you say:

"With every sweep I cast away, the heaviness of yesterday."

Let the wind in, burn some herbs, and notice how the room breathes again.

---

6. A Honey Jar for Sweetening Situations

This is a slow, loving spell to bring harmony, kindness, and warmth into tricky relationships.

What you'll need:

• A small jar

• Honey

• A piece of paper

• A pen

• Personal effects (optional)

How to do it: Write the name of the person or situation. Fold it and place it in the jar. Pour honey over it. Say:

"As this honey sweetens and flows, so does your heart soften and glow."

Seal the jar and keep it in a warm place. Shake gently when you need a boost.

---

7. Moon Water Magic

Harnessing lunar energy is a beautiful intro to planetary magic. Moon water is versatile, gentle, and powerful.

What you'll need:

• A clean glass jar with a lid

• Water

• Access to moonlight

How to do it: Fill the jar with water. Leave it outside (or on a windowsill) overnight under the full moon. As you place it, say:

"Lunar light, pure and bright, bless this water on this night."

Use it to anoint tools, sprinkle around your altar, or even in baths.

Final Thoughts from Amira

Dear beginner witch, these spells are simple, but not basic. They are your foundation. Practice them with reverence, with curiosity, and above all, with belief in your own power. Don’t be discouraged by small mistakes or uncertain results. Magic is a dance between you and the unseen forces. And trust me: they notice when you show up with an open heart.

As you deepen your practice, you'll learn sigils, spirit work, deity offerings, advanced divination—but it all begins here, with the flame of a candle and the whisper of your will.

Stay enchanted,

Amira Asmodea
