Are you looking for some inspiration on how to use your charms?

At first glance the idea of Charm Casting may seem complex or confusing, but once you have a few goes you very quickly find your favourite ways to use them.

Here’s my top favourite ways to give you some inspiration on different ways to use your charms:

A Charm a Day

Each morning, I like to simply rustle my hand in my box of charms and draw one.

This charm is my message for the day ahead.

A Simple Charm Cast

If I have a bit more time or I want more information, I’ll cast a few charms on a blank surface.

I’ll then look for a more detailed message from the collection of charms.

Charm Casting ‘Maps’

If I have a specific question that I want insight on, I’ll use specially created charm casting maps.

Reading the charms on the map gives a more focused reading, breaking down your question in to the various areas you may overlook (or try to ignore).

Charm Casting and Cards

I love to cast charms over  oracle or tarot card spreads that I’ve done, to get deeper insight into a card reading.

Meditation

I like to choose some charms, often at random, lay them out over a blank surface and meditate with  them.

I gaze softly at them and allow their message and/or story to reveal itself to me.

Journaling and Charms

Some days I pick a random charm, or choose a specific charm, and journal around the message and symbolism it has for me.

Simply asking: ‘What does this ‘witches hat’ represent to me?’

One of the reasons that I love working with the charms is that each day the meaning of a particular charm can change. As you grow and evolve the meanings of the charms grow and evolve with you.

Charm Casting is a form of divination that uses charms, trinkets or small objects.

The charms are cast/thrown onto a casting surface, and where and how they land is then interpreted to receive intuitive messages.

It’s often called charm casting, because of it’s use of charms as the tool of divination.

It likely orginated from Osteomancy, and using the casting of bones to answer questions.

Charm Casting focuses on you connecting with your inner wisdom to offer you insight and guidance to where you are on your magickal path.

It’s a powerful form of divination.

I believe that it’s power lies in its simplicity and the fact that there are no rules.

Ahhhh no rules!

Scary for some… but totally liberating for your connection to your inner wisdom.

It’s easy for us to be conditioned to follow the rules, we do it without even noticing.

Whilst some rules are useful.

It’s also useful to learn who you are, how you think and what you believe, away from the conditions of rules.

Having said there are no  rules… there are a few guidelines, but really you are free to do this how you please.

And as always with guidance, take what works for you, adapt or ‘throw out’ the rest.

It’s a journey of deeply connecting to your intuition.

It allows you uncover your ability to join-the-dots, to explore your stories.

Stories after all are what make us human.

When you interpret a Charm Casting reading, you’re not looking to a guidebook to give you the answers.

You’re uncovering your unique interpretation.

What you need in that very moment.

What You Need

In its simplicity, all you need are some charms/trinkets/small objects to cast.

An object to stir/shuffle them in.

A surface to ‘cast’ your charms on to.

This could be as simple as a few objects you have lying around the house, your hands to ‘shuffle’ them – like you would a dice, and a table to cast them onto.

Simple.

Then it’s time to connect with your inner-wisdom and interpret the message they have for you.

Keep it simple

But of course you can make this much more elaborate, and you will do as you go along.

But always start simple.

It’s easy to add to your collection, once you have the basics, but it’s hard to move out of overwhelm, if you try to start out by making it too ‘fancy’ and complicated.

Simple is best.

Simple will mean that you are likely to continue with this fun and powerful form of divination.

Overwhelm may mean your charms are destined to become covered in dust!
