- A piece of paper with the written intention
- A herb mixture
- A crystal for protection to ward off negative energy (e.g. obsidian)
- Any other items you want
{ The Pouch }
The pouch itself can be bought or handmade, and the color of the fabric should match the purpose.
For example:
- Green: for prosperity, luck, wealth
- Red: for love, passion, courage
- Black: for protection, banishing negativity, discipline

{ Ritual: Making The Spell Bag }
There are loads of different rituals for making a spell bag, but they will follow a similar formula.- Bless / cleanse the items and visualise the intention and desired outcome as they are placed in the bag. You can even talk to the bag as you make it.
- Once the items are inside, sew it up or tie it with a colourful ribbon or cord (use a long cord if you want to wear the bag).
- The bag is then smoke cleansed with incense or sage, sprinkled with salt water to clean it, anointed with oil, and then passed over a candle flame.
- The final step is to breathe upon your spell bag to activate.
- Keep your spell bag hidden and do not let anyone else touch it.
- When you are finished with your spell bag, it is best to give thanks and bury it.
