I’m sometimes asked if my pendants are magickally charged. Whilst I believe that symbols that have been used for a long time, gather significance, and a magick of their own, the pendants do not come precharged by a person.

So in this blog post I’m going to tell you how to magickally charge your own Pagan, Wiccan, Buddhist or other alternative jewellery and symbols.
.

1. 

   First, think about what it is you want the talisman to help you with. For instance, if you have the Mermaid and Dolphin for Harmony and Happiness you may just want overall happiness and harmony, or perhaps you have a particular situation that you want happiness and harmony to come to, such as your family life

2. Think of a positive way to state your intention, for general happiness you could say:
   “This pendant brings harmony and happiness into my life.”
   .
   
3. For a particular situation such as family life, you could say:
   “This pendant brings harmony and happiness to my family life.”
   .
4. Next, find out the magickal correspondances that match your desire – ie the best day of the week to do the spell, the correct colours and so on.
   .
   In this case you would pick:
   Friday, as it is associated with family, harmony and friendship
   The Waxing Moon: Because you want to attract harmonious energies
   Lilac: as it is associated with inner healing, calmness and tranquility OR
   Light Blue: for its associations with peace and harmony
   .

5. 

   Get a spell candle in your chosen colour.
   .

6. Make or get some blessed water to cleanse and purify the pendant, leaving it ready for you to imprint your magickal charge.
   .
7. You may wish to get herbs to add extra power to the spell, in this case Aniseed, Jasmine Flowers or Meadowsweet would work well.
   .
8. I highly recommend getting or making some incense as fragrances have a very powerful effect on our subconscious.  Jasmine, Lavender, Rose and Orange are all connected with happiness and peace. Vanilla is for granting wishes and promotes a positive vibe

.

Ok, now you have all the equipment and preparation you need to magickally charge your pendant. Now it’s time to begin.

.

1. Light your candle and incense.
   .
   Step 2 is optional, but something I find really helps to add power to spells.
   ..
   

2. 

   To raise magickal energy I like to cast a sacred circle, then stand in the middle, taking deep breaths and imagining my self rooting into the ground like a tree.  Then I stretch my hands upwards and imagine they are reaching up to the sky.  Hopefully you will begin to feel energy flowing through you, but don’t worry if you don’t.  You can then imagine a circle of swirling energy growing in strength between your outstreched arms.
   .

3. Now that you have raised your energy, get your blessed water.  If you have some herbs you can mix them into the water.
   .
4. Sprinkle some of your blessed water on the talisman and say three times
   
   “I cleanse, bless and consecrate this pendant”
   .
5. Take your jewellery in your hand and stare at your candle, repeating your intention.  Imagine the positive energy flowing into your pendant.  Try to visualise the successful achievement of your pendant helping you, whether that is having happy times with your family, generally enjoying life or whatever
   .
6. Keep doing this until you feel the pendant is charged.
   .
7. Finally say:
   ‘An it harm none, so mote it be!’
   .
   
8. Close your sacred circle if you opened one, and now you are done!

.

Your pendant is now magickally charged, all you have to do now is wear it regularly, the more you wear it the more attuned to you, and thus the stronger it will become.
.
