A wishing spell with fire and laurel.

Fire is one of the 4 core elements from which this world was created. Fire has always been considered the creative element, the element for change and the removal of obstacles. Fire was invoked as a catalyst to multiply the magical powers of our will to manifest our heart’s desires. With the right concentration, fire, just an open flame or a single candle, can be a great source of magical power. Because of this, fire is perfect for a wishing spell.

Fire, Laurel and Apollo

Laurel is an herb closely associated with the sun and its creative powers. As written in our exclusive article on laurels: “Apollo, the glorious and handsome god of the sun, arts, sports, healing, music and prophecy, was in love with the nymph Daphne. Due to a quarrel – Apollo had a quarrel with the god Eros – Daphne could not see Apollo as irresistible, powerful and brave as everyone else, and she ran for help. Apollo was chasing her and so Daphne, the daughter of a great river god, called her father for help and he transformed her into the beautiful laurel tree. From that time Apollo made the laurel tree sacred to him and bay leaves sacred for his rituals!” (Read more about laurel herbal charms here)

Bay laurel is a very powerful herb when used in rituals involving the powers of the sun and fire. An ancient wishing spell is to request your wish from Apollo, write it on a dried bay leaf and burn it.
