Charm bags โ also called mojo bags, spell pouches, or sachets โ are simple, portable magical tools. Theyโre essentially your magical intention made physical using herbs, stones, talismans, and personal symbolism sealed in a small pouch or cloth. The key to an effective charm bag is intention. Stay focused on what you want the charm to bring you as you assemble it. Find a quiet peaceful place to perform your mystical works.
๐ช Materials Youโll Need

- Small bag or pouch
Natural fabrics like cotton or flannel work well; colors can reflect the purpose (e.g., red for love, green for abundance, black for protection). - Herbs
Choose dried herbs known for the energy you want to attract (like rosemary for protection, cinnamon for success, rose petals for love). - Gemstones or crystals
Small, tumbled stones add energy that supports the intention (like citrine for prosperity or rose quartz for love). - Charms or symbolic items
Small objects that symbolize your goal (e.g., a key for opportunity, a feather for communication). - Optional extras
Written intent on paper, a few drops of essential oil, or personal items to strengthen the connection.
โจ Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Set Your Intention
Before you assemble anything, take a moment in silence or prayer to define exactly what you want your charm bag to do (e.g., attract love, protection, luck). Focus your mind and energy here first.
2. Choose the Bag and Ingredients
Select herbs, crystals, and charms that correspond with your intention. Thereโs no strict rule to use all categories โ even one or two meaningful items is fine.
Tip: Odd numbers (3, 5, 7) are traditionally considered especially potent in many magical practices.
3. Prepare the Ingredients
You can gently mix herbs in a bowl, arrange crystals in a pattern, or speak your intention over each piece as you add it to the bag.
4. Assemble the Bag
Place your items into the pouch slowly and deliberately. Visualize your goal as you doโimagine the bag filling with light or energy aligned with your purpose.
5. Close and Seal the Charm
Once everything is inside, tie the bag closed. Some practitioners blow into the bag or anoint it with oil while reciting a short affirmation to โbreathe lifeโ into the charm.
A simple spoken intention might be something like:
โWith these knots, I bind this charm to (purpose). So it is.โ (Magical Madam Josephine)
6. Wear or Place It Where Needed
Carry the charm bag with you, wear it as a necklace, keep it in your purse, or place it in a spot where its energy is meant to work.

- Re-activate energy: Some people periodically โchargeโ or anoint their charm bags to reinforce their intent.
