Physical Charms

The little ditty use to illustrate a spoken charm can be easily followed by the next kind of charm, A Physical Charm. As the Witch speaks the work “pluck” she takes the leaf from the ash tree, which she carries all day to inspire good fortune. Many physical charms are derived from nature; a four leafed clover, or rabbit’s foot for examples. They already bear symbolic value and inherent power that simply needs to be activated by the carrier (often by using a verbal or spoken charm to empower it).

Manmade charms also became popular, specifically in the form of charm bracelets, often given as presents. Each charm had meaning and its own special blessings for the recipient. An anchor represented strong foundations; a heart was the gift of love; and a flower charm conferred health.

A good example of a physical charm is a lucky coin charm. To make your own, you will need to find a coin minted in the year of your birth or another year that holds significance for you, like the year you discovered Wicca! If this coin can be with high silver content all the better, silver is a metal aligned with the moon and energy of good fortune. Empower the coin for luck by repeating the following incantation:


By word, we, and this silver coin,
Magick and fortune herein join!

Carry the coin with you or place it where you need the most luck

Blessed Be
Fairy Star
