Many of us magical people have mundane things we need to supplement. Whether that is medicine or vitamins, we can help enhance the properties of our medicine using spellwork! I am just sharing my personal practice with this as I work on my physical body. I have several things I supplement for depending on the day and what I have eaten. These include:
- Omegas
- Biotin
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin B12
- Levocetirizine (an allergy medicine)
- Multivitamin
Each supplement I take serves a purpose. For example, I live in the north where half the year is in darkness and I do not get outside much. Thus, I take a vitamin D supplement! The levocetirizine is an allergy medicine I take every day because my sinuses and allergies do not like to play nice!
It is important to note that the purpose of this practice is not to make the medicine or supplements work more than they should. Instead, it is meant to help the medicine or supplements work more efficiently or effectively with my body. This means helping with the absorption of nutrients and the efficacy of the medicine. This is not meant to act in place of medical advice nor make the chemicals work in a different way than they are supposed to.
This is also an obligatory note that magic and medicine go hand in hand. Spellwork and rituals are not a replacement for medical care! I am not giving medical advice nor should anything in this post or subsequent comments be taken as medical advice!
My Personal Magnification
In the previous catch-up challenge, I wrote about how I added a small altar to my workspace. This is the place I spend the majority of my day so it only felt natural to create a sacred space here. This altar space includes a mirror, and this mirror is central to my magical medicinal practice.
As I get ready to take my vitamins and medicine, I place them on the mirror and light a candle. I spend a few moments grounding myself, centering my thoughts and intentions. Then, I place my hand over the pills and ask the mirror to amplify the energy of what I will consume.
Other Ideas!
If working with the mirror is not something you can do, here are a few other ideas to help magic your medicine!
Create a Sigil
Sigil magic is a very easy and versatile way to work with magic. Create a sigil with your intention and draw it on the bottle(s) of supplements or medicine you need to take. Be sure to phrase your sigil intention in a positive way for maximum benefit.
Time it Right
While not every medicine can be taken at a certain time of day, some can. Work with the energies of the planets or time of day to time your medicine. Take medicine that needs time to work in the morning so its energy can grow with the rising sun. Take medicine associated with the heart during the hour of the Sun – I use an app called Planetary Times to give me the planetary times during the day. Each part of the body is associated with a planet, so you can time your medicine and supplements with the corresponding time of day!
Please note that you should not take your medicine or supplements at different times of the day if your physician has instructed you not to. You should also heed the warnings about certain medications making you tired or unable to function during the day. Safety always comes first!
Create a Chant
There are a lot of words you can use while consuming your necessary pills or medicine. Create a chant that corresponds with the reason for your prescriptions or supplements. If you can’t come up with something specific, a general chant for good health works, too. You can say something like this:
In potions brewed and herbs we trust,
Medicine’s power, our bodies adjust.
With health and vigor, we are blessed,
In wellness’s embrace, we find our rest.
