One cherished example is witch balls, a kind of ward that originated in England during the 1600s. They are used for protection against evil spells, hexes, negativity, sickness, and ill fortune. Plus, they\u2019re gorgeous. They are definitely among my favorite things to make\u2014and are sure to be yours too!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Legend has it that the beauty of mystical witch balls attracts negative spirits thought to be threatening a home\u2019s tranquility. An orb\u2019s swirling colors and uniqueness mesmerize the evil being. After a spirit touches a ball, its malevolent energy is trapped within the webbed strands of glass inside the orb, which prevent the spirit from affecting its surroundings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Traditionally, witch balls are hung in an east-facing window. But really, any area around your home\u2014whether in a window, on a desk, or even on a porch or elsewhere outside in a garden\u2014is suitable for placing a witch ball to ward off (and possibly trap) negative energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Making witch balls is still a popular pagan craft and can take only minutes per ball. They make lovely ornaments for Yule as well as gift giving. Family and friends will love them as special handmade ornaments and will be captivated by the history and magical meaning. Maybe best of all, creating a ball will give you a greater connection to your witchly craft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I like to begin mine with the clear glass ornaments carried in craft stores. These are especially easy to find around the winter holidays. I add flowers, herbs, spices, <a href=\"https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/the-powers-of-the-witch-are-within-you-with-spells-and-charms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crystals<\/a>, and charms that correspond with a specific intention, such as protection, happiness, good fortune, or peace. You can fill your witch ball as much as you want with your chosen ingredients. I like to fill mine halfway so I can see the individual items inside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Once you have all your materials gathered, you\u2019re only minutes away from completing your own mesmerizing witch ball.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9238&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>MATERIALS NEEDED:<\/h3>\n<p><em>Ingredients can vary depending on your specific intentions.

Set aside. Before adding anything, I like to smoke-cleanse the inside of the ball with a stick of incense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Carefully, a few pinches at a time, add the preserved moss. Step 3: Put your other elements inside one by one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Add the hanger back on the top of your ornament by squeezing the two metal progs together and sliding them inside till the hanger snaps back into place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Add a tiny spot of hot glue to the base of the hanger and press the end piece of twine in place, gluing and wrapping the twine around the top. Cut excess twine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> Tie on a magical charm and add ribbon to the hanger. Your enchanting witch ball is ready to hang in your home\u2014or a friend\u2019s!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Find more of Lemmon\u2019s creations at <a href=\"http:\/\/etsy.com\/shop\/thewitchnthegoddess\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">etsy.com\/shop\/thewitchnthegoddess<\/a>, or follow her on Instagram @t<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/hewitchandthegoddess\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hewitchandthegoddess<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9240&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;Subscribe!&#8221; txt_align=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;flat&#8221; color=&#8221;grey&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Subscribe Today!&#8221; btn_style=&#8221;flat&#8221; btn_color=&#8221;mulled-wine&#8221; btn_align=&#8221;center&#8221; btn_button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fenchantedlivingmag.com%2Fcollections%2Fsubscribe|target:_blank|rel:nofollow&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><i><img data-dominant-color=\"1f2225\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #1f2225;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9122 size-medium aligncenter not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EL65_websingles-1-231x300.webp\" alt=\"Winter Witch Issue by Enchanted Living Magazine - The Year of the Witch 2023 #65\" width=\"231\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EL65_websingles-1-231x300.webp 231w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EL65_websingles-1-789x1024.webp 789w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EL65_websingles-1-768x997.webp 768w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EL65_websingles-1-1183x1536.webp 1183w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EL65_websingles-1-1577x2048.webp 1577w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EL65_websingles-1-696x904.webp 696w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EL65_websingles-1-1068x1387.webp 1068w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EL65_websingles-1-1920x2493.webp 1920w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EL65_websingles-1-323x420.webp 323w, https:\/\/enchantedlivingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EL65_websingles-1-scaled.webp 1971w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/>Enchanted Living<\/i><\/em> is a quarterly print magazine that celebrates all things enchanted.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Subscribe now and begin with our Winter Witch issue!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_cta]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the ancient art of crafting witch balls, mesmerizing protective orbs rooted in 17th-century England.
