Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “bells witchcraft” thing pop up all over my socials, and, well, I got curious. I’m not usually one for, like, super witchy stuff, but the aesthetic was cute, and I figured, why not? Let’s give it a shot. So, here’s my little adventure into the world of bell magic.
Getting Started
First things first, I needed a bell. I didn’t want to just use any old bell, so I rummaged through my grandma’s attic. She’s got all sorts of cool, old things. And bingo! I found this tiny, little brass bell – perfect! It even had a little bit of tarnish on it, which I thought added to the whole “ancient magic” vibe.
The “Ritual” (if you can call it that)
Now, I’m no expert, so I kept things pretty basic. I found a few different ideas online, but most of them involved cleansing the bell and then using it for different purposes, like protection or attracting good vibes. I decided to focus on clearing out some negative energy that’s been hanging around my apartment.
I started by smudging the bell. I just used some sage I had lying around. I wafted the smoke all around the bell, really trying to visualize any yucky energy just dissolving away. I have to admit, even if it’s just placebo, the sage smell instantly made me feel a bit calmer.
Next, I held the bell in my hands and just focused. I’m not great at meditating, but I closed my eyes and tried to clear my mind. I thought about all the things that had been stressing me out lately, and then I imagined them all just floating away, like little dark clouds.
- Smudging the bells with sage.
- Focusing on the bells.
- Close my eyes.
- Let bad things go.
Then, the fun part – ringing the bell! I walked around my apartment, ringing it in each corner, by the windows, and near the doors. I imagined the sound waves pushing out any lingering negativity, like a little sonic broom. I even rang it a few extra times in my workspace, because that’s where I tend to feel the most stressed.
The Aftermath
Honestly? It felt…good. I don’t know if I can say it was some profound magical experience, but my apartment definitely felt lighter, airier. Maybe it was the sage, maybe it was the bell, maybe it was just the act of doing something intentional and focused. Whatever it was, I felt more relaxed and at peace.
I’ve been keeping the bell on my desk, and every now and then, I’ll give it a little ring, just as a reminder to let go of the little stresses. It’s become a nice little ritual, a way to check in with myself and clear the air, both literally and figuratively.
So, that’s my little foray into bells witchcraft. It’s simple, it’s pretty, and it made me feel a little bit better. I’m not sure if I’ll be diving deep into any complex spellwork anytime soon, but this little bell ritual? Yeah, I think I’ll keep that one around.
