How to Enchant Items

To enchant an item is to infuse it with magickal energy. This energy can come from a variety of sources, including planets, crystals, herbs, or even yourself. 

Some individuals use the words “enchant” and “charm” synonymously as a way to describe the process of infusing something with energy, but for the sake of this post and due to my own beliefs, you enchant something and it then becomes a charm. Alternately, a charm can be something with its own innate energy, like a crystal or herbal amulet. 

The process of enchanting is extremely versatile and there are many ways to do it successfully, so long as you keep your intent clear in your mind. My personal preference when it comes to enchanting items is to allow 12-24 hours (overnight or a full day) for the item to be infused with energy and become a charm - although, this is completely left up to the individual spell-caster. 

Here are a few ideas on how to enchant items, in no particular order:

Surround the item with crystals of corresponding intent

Surround the item with herbs of corresponding intent 

Place the item in a jar filled with herbs that represent your intent

Place the item in front of a candle and meditate on your intent 

Anoint the item with an oil, charged water, or crystal elixir of corresponding intent 

Hold the item in your hand(s) and visualize it filling with the appropriate energy 

Hold the item in your hand(s) and speak your intent aloud

Craft a sigil or symbol to keep near the item in an envelope or sachet

Write your intention on paper and keep in an envelope with the item 

Pair the item with a corresponding runestone or tarot / oracle card in an envelope 

Take the item and put it in a box with other items that represent your intent such as crystals, herbs, talismans, amulets, etc. 

Bury the item in soil with herbs and/or crystals that match your intent (please don’t put salt on your lawn though, unless you want dead grass)

Pass the item through incense smoke that matches your intent

Useful info for herbs. Thanks

Many Witches and Herbalist love to grow their own herbs/flowers, it will help your home look more lively and you can control the environment for the plant to grow. While growing plants can seems easy, many plants cannot grow indoors, or need special requirements to grow full and healthy.  While herbs such as chives and sage can grow indoors, plants like roses and honeysuckle will grow best during the warm seasons outside. When planning on gardening a new herb, research where would be best to grow them. If you are buying seeds, look on the back of the seed package and it will tell you the best conditions for growing the herb/plant.

Some herbs to grow indoors:

Chives - Plant them in well-drained potting soil that’s rich with organic matter. They can tolerate light shade but do best in full sun 

Mint - Mint can grow in many soil types and degrees of sunlight, but it produces the best leaves in rich soil. It’s a perennial, but its hardiness varies by variety, so check which type you are growing.

Rosemary -  Quick-draining soil is the key to good growth. It’s drought-tolerant. Keep the soil moist but never wet when grown indoors 

Sage - Best grown in full sun and moist, well-drained potting mix

Some plants to grow indoors:

Cactus - adapted to extremely arid and hot climates and have water conserving features

Orchid - most grow best when temperatures drop at night to between 50 and 65 degrees and rise during the day to 65 to 75 degrees

Hibiscus - For best results, keep hibiscus in bright light and warm temperatures near a south or west window. (( also is a bee saver if grown outside!))

African Violet - do better in lower light and will bloom year-round with a minimum of care.

These are just some of the herbs and plants grown indoors, but there are so many more online sources for growing herbs and plants indoors.
