Animal Spell Working

The magical power in each and every animal – living, extinct or mythical – can be used to assist you in your daily life and can be utilised in spells to aid you in certain situations.

It is nearly impossible to read old collections of magic without seeing something using the energy from animals. I don’t mean divination from entrails though…

Throughout history we can see illustrations of animals being used rather than the actual live creature, for instance the Egyptians carried small carvings of cats with them as protection and a 13th century Hebrew text suggests that carving a falcon onto a piece of topaz would ensure the goodwill of leaders, putting a lion on a garnet would bring honour and protection and a bat onto a bloodstone would bring increased power to magical chants.

Get creative, if you want to use the power of an animal for a spell – look around and see what you come up with. Try small figurines, metal charms, pictures from magazines or the internet, product labels, badges, picture playing cards, carvings – the list is endless.

Think about the intent that you want to work your spell for and then ask yourself what animal you associate with that intent. If your spell is for confidence, you might like to draw on the magical powers of peacock or if you need the ability to overcome obstacles then bat or elephant would be an ideal animal to work with.

Here are some references for animals to use for particular intents:

• Call upon the hoarding instincts of the squirrel to help you with your finances.

• Ask the dove to bring you love.

• Invite the courage and cunning of the wolf to help you through a difficult time.

• Invoke a dragon of protection.

• Butterfly emerging from a cocoon brings transformation.

• Fly a winged horse on an astral journey.

• Attune with the masculine spirit of the forest through the mighty stag.

• Seek healing from the dolphin.

• Find the courage of the lion for an interview or a situation that requires it.

• Swan will bring grace.

• Frog or toad bring new beginnings (it’s a tadpole thing…).

• Rat can help you overcome hatred.

• Whale can bring balance and relaxation.

• Horse can help you to overcome obstacles (think about it jumping over fences).
