Freezing Energy: Winter Spellwork Tips
As a practitioner—or whatever title resonates with you—remember your connection to the elements and the seasons. Winter is a time for rest, reflection, and transformation, but it’s also a powerful season for spellwork. Incorporate the cold and harshness into your practice—use ice, snow, and bitterness in banishing and hexing spells.
Yes, this is a left-hand path blog, and if baneful workings aren’t part of your practice, that’s perfectly fine. Just remember to approach others’ paths with respect, as these workings are vital and meaningful to many. Winter symbolizes death and introspection, preparing us to shed what no longer serves and step into the creative energy of the Spring Equinox—a time for renewal and growth.
Most people are familiar with freezer spells, but here’s a way to take it further: bury someone’s name, energy, or motivations in the ground to freeze them in place. Use biodegradable materials to avoid harming the earth. Write the person’s name on brown paper bag, bind it with black string (hemp is ideal), wrapping away from you, and recite your incantation as you bury it. Once the ground freezes, the spell is sealed.
This isn’t a beginner’s guide—I won’t share every detail because your craft should be uniquely yours. Always do divination and protection work beforehand, and cleanse thoroughly afterward. Make it your own, and practice with care.
