Let’s try some beauty spells? As in spells to make you more beautiful. Yes, really!

Want to look prettier? Want to banish acne? Or maybe chase away those fine lines that are slowly creeping up under your eyes? Or turn your tresses blonde?

Try a beauty spell, the coolest or craziest (depends on your perspective!) beauty trend to hit our shores.

Beauty spells? As in one of those Double, double toil and trouble things? To make you look prettier in some form or manner? Seriously? SERIOUSLY? A beauty spell?

That would be $900. Only.

Apparently, yes. Seems that beauty spells are not just amusing quirks but big business.

Some go for as much as $900, like this Cleopatra spell “…based on ancient Egyptian lore that was used by sorcerers and priests to the great Pharaohs thousands of years ago.”

It involves 113 batches of rare ingredients and materials, a hex eradicator and a 14 layer spiritual shield.

Much? Don’t worry, everything is arranged by the spell caster and managed online (eMagic? iMagic?). You only need to send in 3 pubic hairs (!!), 14 hairs from your head or eyebrows, 7 tears dropped on a paper napkin and one small piece of toe nail from your right foot.

Oh! And the $900.

We accept credit card and PayPal.

Save money, go DIY for beauty spells

If $900 seems a little steep, you can go the budget route and pay under $10 to buy a beauty spell “to become more attractive, more beautiful or to cause someone else to become more attractive and beautiful”.

Stingy, much? Just opt for DIY, as there is no dearth of information on beauty spells that can be done at home. No fairies or witches required.

Beauty spell for hair color

I stumbled across one beauty spell that promises to change the colour of your hair.

This is how it goes: On a Friday during the waxing moon, go to a place where you can be alone for at least 15 minutes. Light 3 orange or red candles and place them in a triangle on a flat surface.

Visualize the color of your hair fading and becoming white as the color drains from it. ‘Hold’ the color within your hands.

Slowly lower your hands above the candles and focus on the flames. Raise your hands above your head and imagine the colour you desire pouring into your hair and turning into that colour.

After all of this say the following:

Fire warm and fire red
Charm the hair upon my head
Fire dance and fire shine
From [the current colour of your hair] to [the colour you want it to be] this wish is mine.
As I will, it now shall be
By fire, water, wind and tree

While I haven’t personally tested it out, sure seems to be a neat way to save salon fees! But what would one do if you also wanted highlights? Or maybe an ombre effect?

Sigh… the Egyptians were obviously content with much less.

Beauty spell for acne

There is another great spell for acne.

It goes hence: Get an apple and cut it in half horizontally across the middle. Once you cut it you will see a 5-pointed star.

Rub one half of the apple over your face while saying: “Apple, sacred fruit of the Goddess; with this gift, I do caress; The pimple that brought me shame; I banish this zit in your name.”

Get another apple and cut it vertically from top to bottom. Rub one half over your face as well.

Say this: “I love and accept myself as I am today; clear skin I summon to come my way; By my will so mote it be three times three times three.”

Bury the first apple by a tree, bush or flower that is outside. Bury the second apple by water. If you can’t find a place like this, just bury it anywhere and pour water over it.

Well, doesn’t sound much more bizarre than the claims of some skincare companies nowadays.

And like all witchy matters, you can curse someone else into losing their beauty prowess. There is one beauty spell for hair loss and another for premature ageing that would be perfect for at least 17 people in my life right now.

Beauty spells: History? Magic? Science? Balderdash?

Kidding aside, my digging throws up another interesting fact: Beauty spells are historically some of the oldest charms known to mankind. They are scattered through scores of papyri and clay fragments dating to ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt.

Incantations and charms for looking more beautiful are also found throughout literature, going back to the Middle Ages. And every major world religion has prayers and rituals for increasing one’s attractiveness.

Not surprising actually, considering how the human desire to look prettier, glossier and thinner is all-encompassing.

After all, that’s how we developed eye makeup and body butters and nail colour — all those ancient Greek, Egyptian, Chinese, Indian, Arab and American women experimenting with pots and potions of indigenous ingredients.

spell to make me more beautiful

So, do I believe in beauty spells? No. Not because I don’t believe in ancient rituals and recipes. And natural ingredients are often more powerful than anything that Lancôme or La Mer could bottle into $500 glossiness.

It’s just that I like my rituals and recipes underlined by reasoning and rationale.

Witch hazel tightens pores because of its tannin content.

Apples clear out acne because they have high levels of immunity-boosting pectin.

Turmeric tackles premature ageing because it is a strong antioxidant.

Basically, show me the underpinnings and I will follow you to the cauldron. Till then, let’s just have some fun.

What’s your take? Do you believe in beauty spells? In witchcraft? In magic? Will you be trying any of these charms and incantations?

    I used a hair spell once but did not cast it myself. I hired a coven of witches to cast it for me and it worked amazingly!
