120 Wiccan Spells for 12 Months

January: The Hearth's Quiet Magic

January’s spells are born of the deep quiet after the solstice, a time for turning inward and nurturing the seeds of intention that will grow in the year to come. The energy is that of the hearth—protective, cleansing, and full of potential. From a Spell for a Cleansed Hearth, which uses sacred smoke to clear the old, to a Spell for a Prosperous Year, which plants a physical seed of abundance, each practice is designed to be simple yet profound. This is a time for setting boundaries with protective witch bottles and dreaming with clarity under the first new moon. These spells are effortlessly woven into the quiet rhythm of winter days, creating a foundation of magic that is both sturdy and serene.

1. Spell for a Cleansed Hearth — Smoke Cleansing Ritual

Ingredients: dried rosemary, a bay leaf, a heatproof bowl

By the quiet of the snow, may this home be made new.

Light the dried rosemary and bay leaf in the bowl until they smolder. Walk slowly through each room, allowing the sacred smoke to waft into every corner. As you do, visualize it gathering any stagnant or negative energy. Carry the bowl outside to release the smoke and the energy it carries.

2. Spell for a Prosperous Year — Seed of Intention

Ingredients: a single coin, a pot of soil, a basil seed

As the earth rests beneath the frost, may my fortunes quietly grow.

Hold the coin in your hands, charging it with your intention for financial stability. Bury it at the bottom of the pot. Plant the basil seed directly above it. As you water the seed, visualize your abundance taking root and growing steadily throughout the year.

3. Spell for Protective Boundaries — Witch's Bottle

Ingredients: a small glass jar, black thread, iron nails or pins, salt

No ill may enter, no harm reside; safe within these walls, I now abide.

Fill the jar with the nails and salt, weaving the black thread throughout as a web of protection. As you seal the jar, say the incantation. Keep it near the entrance of your home to guard your threshold.

4. Spell for Inner Clarity — Lunar Water Meditation

Ingredients: a glass of water, a silver coin or piece of jewelry

By the Lady's gentle light, make my mind and spirit bright.

On a clear January night, place the glass of water and the silver item where the moonlight can touch them. Leave them for several hours. The next morning, drink the charged water, feeling its clarity and intuition flow into you.

5. Spell for Releasing the Past — Burning Bowl Ritual

Ingredients: a slip of paper, a pen, a fireproof bowl

What no longer serves me, I now release; by this fire, I find my peace.

Write down a habit, fear, or memory you wish to let go of. Light the paper safely in the bowl and watch it burn to ash. As the smoke rises, feel the weight of that burden lifting and dissipating into the air.

6. Spell for Courageous Beginnings — Cinnamon Stick Charm

Ingredients: a cinnamon stick, a red ribbon

With the fire of the sun, my new journey's begun.

Hold the cinnamon stick, feeling its fiery energy. Tie the red ribbon around it in three knots. With each knot, state a quality you need for a new beginning: "Courage," "Strength," "Passion." Carry this charm with you.

7. Spell for Heart's Warmth — Rosehip Tea Infusion

Ingredients: dried rosehips, honey, a favorite mug

In winter's chill, let love and warmth my spirit fill.

As you steep the rosehips in hot water, infuse the brew with thoughts of self-love and compassion for others. Stir in the honey clockwise, sweetening your intentions. Sip slowly, feeling the warmth spread through your body.

8. Spell for Dream Wisdom — Dream Pillow Sachet

Ingredients: a small cloth bag, dried mugwort, a piece of amethyst

In the realm of dreams, let wisdom be shown; by morning's light, may its seeds be sown.

Combine the mugwort and amethyst in the cloth bag. Tie it closed. Place this sachet under your pillow to encourage prophetic dreams and enhance your ability to remember and understand them.

9. Spell for a Peaceful Home — Salted Doorway Blessing

Ingredients: sea salt

Peace within, chaos without; this is my will, so mote it out.

Take a pinch of salt and quietly trace a line across your doorways and windowsills. As you do, envision the salt creating a shimmering barrier that allows only calm and harmonious energy to enter.

10. Spell for Personal Strength — Oak Bark Talisman

Ingredients: a small piece of oak bark or a acorn, a green cloth

As the mighty oak stands firm and tall, I too am strong through winter's squall.

Wrap the oak bark or acorn in the green cloth, tying it into a small bundle. Hold it and feel the enduring, resilient energy of the oak tree. Keep this talisman on your altar or in your pocket as a reminder of your inner strength.

February: Awakening the Seed

February’s magic stirs with the first whispers of returning life beneath the frozen earth. This is a time of quickening, of potent love, and of purifying the spirit in preparation for spring. The energy is that of the bud—tightly coiled with potential, awaiting the right moment to burst forth. From a Spell for Quickening Passion, which uses the fire of cinnamon to ignite desire, to a Spell for Cleansing Rain, which calls upon the thaw to wash away the old, each practice is designed to harness this month of dynamic transition. This is a time for crafting charms for self-love, blessing the seeds of future goals, and scrying with the last of the winter's ice. These spells are potent, focused, and aligned with the rising energy of the sun.

1. Spell for Quickening Passion — Cinnamon Heart Charm

Ingredients: a red candle, a piece of paper, cinnamon essential oil or powder

By fire's quickening spark, ignite the passion in my heart.

Anoint the red candle with cinnamon oil. On the paper, draw a heart and within it write a single word that embodies your desire (e.g., "passion," "devotion," "reunion"). Burn the paper in the candle's flame, visualizing your intention rising with the smoke.
