Herbs and flowers are known to have healing qualities, which means they make very useful charms. You can entice love, health and fortune with the magical powers of plants, try them in a simple charm.

Coriander makes a romantic charm and can be used for health recovery.
Hang bunches of herbs in the home, or make amulets by sewing coloured cloth to make pouches. Before filling with an appropriate mixture of leaves and flowers you can cast a spell for intent.
Charms and Food
When we eat symbolic and charmed foods we literally ingest their power or \”spirit\”.

Where better to experience the beneficial effects of a magical charm than at your home? Charms and protection go hand in hand and are powerful tools that can protect our family and possessions. They can also help us sleep better, attract prosperity, boost health and create a calm atmosphere.

Worn next to the skin, the power of the charm effects the wearer all day. Charms bracelets, ring and other jewellery are a popular way of carrying a charm with you all day.
Jewellery enables a combination of magical elements to work together. Metal, precious stones and symbols should be carefully selected to suit your purpose.
Always charge your charm before wearing it. Leave silver jewellery outside on the night of a Full Moon in order to refresh its energy. Gold charms, in contrast, need sunlight to activate them.
