Can’t seem to get something done no matter how badly you want to be finished with it? This spell draws on the Waxing Moon - a phase of the moon cycle associated with increase, growth, and strength. This spell can help boost your motivation and inner power so you can finally finish that tricky thing on your to-do list
Although this spell has been designed with a writing project in mind, it can be adjusted for any task that takes place at home (writing, art, computer work, cooking, cleaning, etc).
This spell is an entry to the Waxing Moon Magick Challenge
You will need:
- A piece of paper
- A pen or pencil
- A chime/spell candle *

An orange candle (associated with creativity and energy) or a gold candle (associated with success and victory) would be ideal for this spell. If you don’t have either, a white candle (universal spellwork) or a natural beeswax candle (energy, accomplishment, hard work) will also work.
It is important to use a small candle for this spell - a chime/spell candle burns for about 1 - 2 hours. If this is too long to accomplish your task, consider using a smaller birthday candle instead.
The goal of the spell is to encourage you to work for as long as the candle is burning - do not snuff out the candle and quit early. On the other hand, if your candle burns out and you still feel energized - no worries, you can keep on going for as long as you’d like!
Spell Timing:
- Cast day or night during the Waxing Moon Phase
Spell Instructions:
-
SET-UP: Gather the things you need and bring them to a quiet and isolated place where you can work undisturbed. Leave your phone in another room (unless it is required for the task you are going to do). If there are people who might disturb you, let them know ahead of time that you will be focusing on your project for the next 1 - 2 hours.
-
Close the door behind you. If there is no physical door, visualize closing an energy door - you are closing off the outside world and securing yourself within a productive bubble.
-
Take your piece of paper and pen. You will write a contract that manifests your intention to get this task done, and calls on the divine to observe you while you do. Write:
I call to [ name of your deity, guide, or the universe ]
to watch over me while I [ task you are doing ]
I will give my best effort so long as this candle is lit.
As written, so mote it be.
- Out loud, say:
“I promise to do my task to the best of my ability. Be it by Your hand or by the hand of time, I will continue until the candle goes out. Thank you for watching over me while I get this done.”
-
Sign your name on the paper. The contract is now complete and binding.
-
Fold the paper three times and place it beneath (or, if not safe to put it beneath) next to your candle.
-
When you are ready to begin, light your candle.
-
Work on your task until the flame extinguishes. If small distractions or doubts pull at your mind, simply look to your candle and allow the flame of productivity to burn these distracting thoughts away.
-
When the candle goes out, your contract has been fulfilled. You can continue to work on your task if you wish, or you can wrap it up and leave feeling accomplished.
NOTE: If the candle goes out suddenly before it reaches its end, this may be a sign from your deity or guide that you are needed elsewhere. If an emergency situation arises and you absolutely must leave, you can snuff your candle temporarily and then return later to finish your contract.
