Honey Magick (Patreon)

Honey is an ingredient in magick that has been collected in witchcraft and used as a talisman for prosperity, sweetness, beauty and health. Here are some types of magick you can perform with honey:

Prosperity and Abundance

Honey represents abundance because bees store this in nature to use as food and it is created from flowers and their nectar. The Sun infuses it with its energy. Honey can amplify and enhance the effects of spells for abundance, prosperity, wealth or fertility. You can add a little to your spell jars for a little enchacement!

Beauty

Honey has been added to beauty products for a while! You can add it to face scrubs, face masks, or lotions to nourish, moisturize and cleanse the skin. You can also add it to your glamour spells if you want to add a little extra sweetness and a glow to your aura and energy.

Healing

Honey can be used to treat wounds because its viscosity and moisture makes a moist seal for it. Since the Ancient Egyptians, honey has been used for treating wounds. It also contains natural antibacterial properties, providing a stable and sterile environment for wounds to heal in. Metaphysically, honey can be added to protection spells or wards in order to create an environment of positivity and sterility, and can also be added to healing spells in order to strengthen the recovery process.

Sweetness

Honey is appealing to humans and animals because, above all else, it is sweet. One of honey’s most ancient uses - utilized in magical practices ranging from Egyptian to Greek to Voudoo - is to add ‘sweetness’ to a spell.

It can be added to glamour magick to make the illusion more easily accepted. It can be added to curses in order to make the energy seem harmless when entering the target’s life. It can be added to money spells or job spells in order to ‘sweeten the deal’. It can be added to love or sex spells in order to sweeten a relationship or conjure an appealing partner. In general, it can be added to any spell to make the effects more pleasant and inviting.

Offering

Honey’s final use is especially helpful to witches who work with nature spirits, fairies, the Dead, or deities. Honey contains a very pleasing, warm, Sun-type energy, and therefore it is extremely enticing to spirits. Since the time of the Ancient Egyptians, honey has been used as an offering that symbolizes the utmost love, care, and respect.

Honey can be drizzled onto a candle and burned. It can be drizzled into a body of water or directly onto the earth. Most commonly, it can be drizzled into an offering bowl (or on top of an offering meal) and left outside, in a graveyard, or on an altar. Because it is excellent at preserving itself, offerings of honey can be left somewhere for prolonged periods of time without worry of it spoiling, which is extremely helpful to forgetful witches (like me) or witches with long-term altars.

So, all in all, honey is maybe one of the most underrated magical ingredients, and I hope this post got some of you hip to honey magick.
