5 Easy Magic Spells for Beginners and How to Cast Them: Are you curious about magic but don’t know where to start?
Do complicated rituals with expensive ingredients intimidate you? Have you wanted to try spellcasting but worried you might mess it up?
Today, I’m sharing 5 easy magic spells that beginners can cast successfully with common household items.
These easy magic spells work for different purposes – attracting money, finding love, protecting yourself, manifesting wishes, and cleansing negative energy.
Each spell is simple enough to cast in under 30 minutes with things you probably already have at home.
Why Start With Easy Magic Spells?
Starting with easy magic spells builds your confidence and proves to yourself that magic actually works.
When you cast an easy spell and see real results within days or weeks, you gain the belief needed to attempt more complex magic later.
Easy magic spells teach you the basic mechanics of spellcasting – setting intention, raising energy, using symbolic actions, and releasing your desire to the universe.
Once you master these fundamentals with simple rituals, you can apply the same principles to any spell you want to cast.
Beginners who jump straight into complicated rituals often get overwhelmed, make mistakes, or give up before seeing results. Simple spells let you practice the core skills without getting lost in details.
What Makes a Spell “Easy”?
Easy spells for beginners have these qualities:
- Few ingredients: Three to five items maximum, all readily available
- Short casting time: 15 to 30 minutes from start to finish
- Simple instructions: Clear steps anyone can follow
- Flexible timing: Work any day, not requiring specific moon phases or planetary hours
- Fast results: Show signs of working within days to two weeks
- Low risk: Gentle spells that won’t backfire or cause harm
The easy magic spells I’m sharing meet all these criteria. You can gather the materials today and cast tonight if you want.
5 Easy Magic Spells for Beginners
Here are the 5 easy magic spells for beginners to cast anywhere you feel okay
Spell 1: Money Bowl Spell for Quick Cash
This money bowl spell attracts unexpected money into your life – cash gifts, found money, surprise payments, or sudden opportunities to earn. It’s perfect when you need money fast.
What You Need
- Green or white candle
- Small bowl
- Coins (any amount, any denomination)
- Cinnamon
- Bay leaf
- Pen
How to Cast the Money Bowl Spell
Find a small bowl and place it somewhere you’ll see it daily – your desk, kitchen counter, or nightstand.
Drop your coins into the bowl one at a time. As each coin drops, say: “Money comes to me easily and quickly.”
Sprinkle cinnamon over the coins. Cinnamon speeds up manifestation and attracts wealth.
Write a dollar amount on the bay leaf – the amount of money you want to attract. Be specific and realistic. For beginners, start with amounts between $100 and $500.
Place the bay leaf on top of the coins and cinnamon.
Light your candle next to the bowl. As it burns, say: “Money flows to me from expected and unexpected sources. I attract wealth easily. Cash comes to me now.”
Let the candle burn for at least one hour. You can blow it out and relight it daily until it burns completely down, or let it burn all the way down in one session if it’s a small candle.
Leave the bowl in place. Every time you find coins, get cash, or receive money, add some of it to the bowl. This keeps the spell active and growing.
Most people see results within one to two weeks. You might find money on the ground, receive an unexpected check, get tipped more than usual at work, or have someone repay a loan you’d forgotten about.
Spell 2: Sugar Love Spell to Sweeten Someone’s Feelings
This spell makes someone think sweet thoughts about you and feel warm feelings when they see you or hear your name. It works for crushes, potential partners, or improving existing relationships.
What You Need
- Paper
- Red or pink pen
- Sugar (white or brown)
- Small jar or container with lid
- Pink or red candle (optional)
How to Cast the Sugar Love Spell
Write your name on paper three times using red or pink pen.
Turn the paper 90 degrees and write the target person’s name crossing over yours three times. This creates a name grid that binds you together.
Fold the paper toward you (pulling their energy toward you) three times.
Place the folded paper in your jar or container.
Cover the paper completely with sugar. As you pour the sugar, say: “[Name]’s thoughts of me are sweet. [Name] feels warmth and affection for me. When [name] sees me or thinks of me, happiness fills their heart.”
Seal the container with the lid.
If using a candle, place it on top of the lid and light it. Let it burn for at least 30 minutes. The fire activates the spell.
Shake the container gently once per day while repeating: “[Name] thinks sweet thoughts about me. [Name]’s feelings for me grow warmer every day.”
Keep the container somewhere safe where you’ll remember to shake it daily.
Within one to two weeks, you’ll notice the person being friendlier, smiling at you more, starting conversations, or showing interest they didn’t show before. Their whole energy toward you becomes softer and sweeter.
Spell 3: Salt Protection Spell for Your Home
This protection spell creates a protective barrier around your home that blocks negative energy, unwanted visitors, and harmful intentions from entering. It’s one of the simplest protection spells and works immediately.
What You Need
- Salt (regular table salt, sea salt, or kosher salt)
- Small bowl
- Optional: black pepper, rosemary, or crushed eggshells for extra protection
How to Cast the Salt Protection Spell
Pour salt into your bowl. If adding black pepper (to send negativity back), rosemary (for protection), or crushed eggshells (to absorb evil), mix them with the salt now.
Hold the bowl between your hands and say: “This salt protects my home. Nothing harmful can enter here. Negative energy stops at my threshold. This home is safe, blessed, and guarded.”
Starting at your front door, sprinkle a line of salt across the entire threshold. The line should be unbroken from one side of the doorway to the other.
Do the same at your back door and any other exterior doors.
Sprinkle salt across windowsills on the ground floor. If you live in an apartment, do all windows you can reach.
Sprinkle salt in the four corners of your main living space (living room or bedroom).
As you sprinkle, visualize a protective shield forming around your home. See it glowing like a bubble that nothing negative can penetrate.
When finished, wash your hands and pour any remaining salt in a circle around a candle. Light the candle and let it burn to seal the protection.
Your home is now protected. You’ll notice the energy feels calmer, safer, and more peaceful. Unwanted people will stop showing up or stop feeling comfortable in your space. Arguments will decrease.
Refresh the salt lines monthly or whenever they get disturbed. If someone sweeps up your salt line, replace it immediately.
Spell 4: Bay Leaf Wish Spell for Manifestation
This simple spell manifests wishes and desires by writing them on bay leaves and burning them. It works for any goal – money, love, health, success, or specific situations.
What You Need
- Bay leaves (dried)
- Pen or marker
- Lighter or matches
- Fireproof dish or bowl
How to Cast the Bay Leaf Wish Spell
Take a bay leaf and write your wish on it using a pen or marker. Be specific. Instead of “I want money,” write “I receive $500 by the end of this month.” Instead of “I want love,” write “I attract a loving partner who wants commitment.”
Write one wish per bay leaf. You can do multiple wishes by using multiple leaves, but don’t do more than three wishes at once. Focus creates power.
Hold the bay leaf between your hands and close your eyes. Visualize your wish already granted. See yourself experiencing it. Feel the emotions of having what you desire. Make it as real as possible in your mind.
When the visualization feels strong, light the bay leaf on fire. Hold it over your fireproof dish and let it burn completely to ash.
As it burns, say: “As this leaf burns, my wish manifests. What I desire comes to me easily and quickly. My wish is granted.”
Watch the smoke rise and carry your wish to the universe.
Let the ashes cool, then scatter them outside – in your yard, in a park, or anywhere outdoors. The wind carries them away and spreads your wish into the world.
Bay leaf spells work quickly. Most people see results within one to four weeks. The more emotion and belief you put into the visualization, the faster it manifests.
You can cast this spell any time you have a wish, but it’s especially powerful during the new moon or full moon.
Spell 5: Water Cleansing Spell to Remove Bad Energy
This spell cleanses you of negative energy, bad luck, stress, or emotional heaviness. It washes away whatever is weighing you down and leaves you feeling light and refreshed.
What You Need
- Your bathtub or shower
- Salt (any kind)
- Optional: lemon juice, vinegar, or baking soda
How to Cast the Water Cleansing Spell
If using a bathtub, fill it with warm water. Add two cups of salt to the bath. If using lemon juice, add the juice of one lemon. If using vinegar, add one cup. If using baking soda, add one cup.
If using a shower, put salt in a small bowl and bring it into the shower with you.
Before getting in the water, stand naked and say: “This water cleanses me completely. All negative energy washes away. All bad luck drains from my body. I emerge clean, light, and renewed.”
Step into the bath or shower.
In the bath, submerge yourself completely at least three times. Each time you go under, visualize dark energy leaving your body and dissolving into the water.
In the shower, wet a washcloth and dip it in the salt bowl. Scrub your entire body from head to toe with the salt washcloth. Scrub vigorously while imagining you’re scrubbing off all negativity, stress, and bad energy.
As you wash, imagine dark muddy energy washing off your skin and going down the drain. See it leaving your body and taking all your problems with it.
Soak or shower for at least 15 minutes. Take your time.
When you drain the bath or finish the shower, watch the water go down the drain. Say: “All negativity leaves me now. I am cleansed and protected. Only good energy remains.”
Step out of the water and dry off with a clean towel. You’ll immediately feel lighter, calmer, and more peaceful.
Do this cleansing spell whenever you feel overwhelmed, stressed, unlucky, or like you’re carrying heavy energy. It works instantly and the effects last for days to weeks.
Tips for Casting Your First Spells
Believe It Will Work
The biggest factor in spell success is your belief. If you cast while thinking “this probably won’t work,” you sabotage your own magic. Approach each spell with confidence that it will work.
Fake it until you make it if you must. Act as if you know for certain the spell will work, even if you have doubts. The external actions and spoken words carry power even when internal belief is shaky.
Focus on Your Intention
While performing the spell, keep your mind focused on what you want. Don’t let your thoughts wander to what you’re making for dinner or what happened at work. Stay present with the ritual.
The quality of your focus matters more than perfect execution of steps. A spell cast with intense focus and emotion beats a perfectly executed spell performed half-heartedly.
Speak With Conviction
When you say the spell words, speak them like you mean them. Don’t mumble or rush through. Say each word clearly and with feeling.
Imagine you’re declaring a truth to the universe, not asking permission. “Money comes to me” spoken with authority creates different energy than the same words whispered with doubt.
Don’t Tell Everyone
Keep your spells secret, at least until they manifest. Telling skeptical friends or family members about your magic invites their doubt and judgment, which can interfere with your spell’s energy.
Work in silence. Let your results prove magic works rather than trying to convince people beforehand.
Be Patient But Persistent
Easy spells for beginners work faster than complex rituals, but they still need time. Give each spell at least two weeks before deciding it didn’t work.
If you see no results after two weeks, cast the spell again with more focus and emotion. Repeat weekly if needed. Persistence creates manifestation.
Take Physical Action
Magic works best when combined with real-world effort. Cast the money spell but also look for ways to earn more. Do the love spell but actually talk to people you’re attracted to. Perform the wish spell but take steps toward your goal.
Spells open doors and create opportunities. You still have to walk through those doors when they appear.
What to Expect After Casting
After you finish casting any of these spells, you might feel tired, energized, emotional, or peaceful. These are normal responses to working with magical energy.
Results appear gradually, not instantly. The money spell brings opportunities to earn or receive money within days. The love spell makes the person friendlier and warmer over one to two weeks. The protection spell creates immediate calm in your home. The wish spell manifests within two to four weeks. The cleansing spell works instantly but the lightness grows over several days.
Watch for signs your spells are working:
- Sudden thoughts about the spell’s subject
- Dreams related to your intention
- Unexpected opportunities appearing
- People or situations showing up to help
- Feelings of excitement or knowing something is shifting
Trust the process. Magic works in its own timing through natural-seeming events. Your spell is working even when you can’t see obvious evidence yet.
