Enchanting Books
I love to enchant things, books included. They hold such majesty and magic within them, anyway, so I feel that it may as well be harnessed and redirected into something equally as great!
It’s very simple in terms of energy work and what you need, so I’ll make the intro short and sweet: grab a book, practice with energy and enchanting, and determine your intent!
In order to enchant a book in the most effective way, you should choose one with an intent or connotation to what you plan to instill within it. For example, if I wanted to give a book the ability to help the reader leave their troubles behind for a while, I may choose a book such as The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Hobbit, or even something unrelated that I know would give the reader the desired affect (assuming you know them personally or are the intended reader).
I tend to carry books around with me, so I will choose comforting or ‘home-y’ books to read or hold while I am away from home. Some of these books are classically cozy, but others are unexpectedly put in that category because of my own life experiences.
Some ideas for you to use when enchanting books of any kind include, but are of course not limited to:

eloquence and powerful language
beauty in your presentations or speeches
courage in expressing yourself boldly and unapologetically
feeling ethereal or soft (depending heavily on the book)
coping with feelings
attracting love, strength, etc.
Please feel free to add on to this post with your own ideas, experiences, and tips! Have fun enchanting your library!

AGATHA OF WOODS BEYOND FROM SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL
Simple Knitting Enchantment Spell
A little incantation to bless the recipient of your knitted gifts! (Can be yourself!)
Use this to enchant a garment you are knitting and bring happiness and peace to whoever wears it!
As you knit a row, repeat as many of these “verses” as needed:
In these fibers, there shall be
Patience; one, and two, and three
Kindness; four, and five, and six
Wearer’s worries, they shall fix.
In these fibers, there shall be
Warmth in one, and two, and three
Love in four, and five, and six
Wearer’s sorrow, they shall fix.
In these fibers, there shall be
Comfort; one, and two, and three
Healing; four, and five, and six
Wearer’s ailments, they shall fix.
In these fibers, there shall be
Solace; one, and two, and three
Peace in four, and five, and six
Wearer’s stresses, they shall fix.
In these fibers, there shall be
Hope in one, and two, and three
Strength in four, and five, and six
Wearer’s weakness, they shall fix.
In these fibers, there shall be
Energy; one, two, and three
Mindfulness; four, five, and six
Wearer’s spirit, they shall fix
In these fibers, there shall be
Guidance; one, and two, and three
Vision; four, and five, and six
Wearer’s drifting, they shall fix.
When you have repeated enough phrases, end with:
In these fibers, there shall be
Answers to your prayers and pleas
And as I will, so mote it be.
How to perform the spell
One way it can be done is stitch by stitch, starting at the first one in a line. This would be performed by saying (for example), “In these fibers, there shall be… Patience; one (do first stitch) and two (second stitch) and three (third stitch). Kindness; four (fourth stitch) and five (fifth stitch) and six… wearer’s worries, they shall fix.” And so on. This would be done until you reach the end of the line, where you could simply recite the last part of the spell, or, if your have three stitches left, say each part while completing the stitches.
If the garment is already finished, simply perform the spell by placing your finger in each respective stitch while reciting the spell.
No matter how you do it, you can add or take out as many “verses” of the spell as you want! Feel free to add words or things that you think the wearer may need— friendship, motivation, humility, etc.
Happy knitting!
Difference Between Charms, Enchantments, Amulets, and Talismans
Charms: A charm's main magical purpose is to bring about luck, happiness, love, good fortune, health, etc. It isn't strong magic, but it's something. Ex.: "See a penny, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck", that's a charm and it's said by school children all the time. It's an object that is spoken over to give it a little bit of magic. It doesn't have to rhyme, and it can be whispered, but it can help bring about a minor magical intention. (It's like the first-level armor you get in a video game. It's not strong, but it helps)
Enchantments: Enchantments are usually worn or carried and the objects are themselves magic. They are wearable or portable spells that effect the wearer/carrier. They can have a much larger effect than charms can, however, they are a bit more complex in the making - creating a spell, speaking over it, and whatnot.
Enchantment hows and whys can be found here.
Amulets Amulets are magical objects that protect people from evil spirits, negative energy, disease or illness, general harm, bad luck, etc. People believe that the amulet has some kind of magical power that protects the person possessing the charm.
Amulets are all different types, which includes herbs, stone, garlic, coal, horseshoes, plant or animal parts, coins, or any other metals. Amulets also include various signs and symbols. Amulets can be of the general type or can be personalized or changed according to the person going to use them.
It is often used in the form of jewelry so that it stays within the person every time and the chances of losing it becomes negligible. Amulets are natural objects and do not harm anyone. They improve the quality of life of a person having it as they satisfy the natural desired of the individual.
Talismans Talismans are magical objects supposed to give strength and power to the person possessing them. People also believe that it provides some kind of magical abilities to the person having it.
Talismans are natural amplifiers. They boost up the energy and empower the people leading them to make the right choices. Talisman is usually in a single piece, made up of gemstone or any other crystals. Talisman is a magical charm that can be customized or changed according to the person.
The talisman can be personalized according to the requirement. Some of them are supposed to bring joy and happiness, some of them bring health, some bring good quality of life, and so on.
Low Energy/Effort Witchcraft
Are you perpetually busy? Never have any spoons? This might be the post for you. Note that not everything here may be considered low energy or low effort to everyone, and that's okay :)
Carry a crystal around based on what you need. I have a black tourmaline bracelet that absorbs negative vibes throughout the day. I stick it on a selenite slab when I get home to cleanse overnight, then rinse and repeat in the morning.
Put a bay leaf in your wallet to attract money. If you have time, draw a sigil or a $/£/€ on it.
Dedicate anything you drink to your deities if you have any. I dedicate water and black tea to everyone and my favourite raspberry tea to Hathor. Coffee is for Caim.
Enchant your pill case so you remember to take them on time. Enchant your pills to work efficiently. ("Anxiety begone. Ye be banished" on all of my anxiety pills ✌️)
Draw a sigil on your body wash bottle to remove bad vibes or carve a sigil in a bar of soap.
Enchant your moisturizer to repel the evil eye. I fucking love this one.
Incorporate colour magic into the socks you wear (Goths who wear hot pink socks, I'm looking at you).
Enchant your charger so it doesn't break and so you don't lose it. Enchant your phone too while you're at it.
Sorry, I love enchantments--
Uhhhhh
Match those big ol jar candles to different intentions. Burn a cedar candle to cleanse/banish. Burn a cinnamon candle to draw in prosperity. Burn a citrus candle to uplift mood. This one is fantastic for broom closet witches.
Got a humidifier? Fill it up with moon water. You're welcome ;D
Politely ask the spirits of your plants to ward your space. Feed two birds with one scone this way.
Witchy social media. Scrolling on Tumblr and learning something new about witchcraft counts as witchcraft imo. Saving tarot spreads from Instagram for later counts too. Making Pinterest boards for literally anything also counts.
Keep a digital grimoire if doing it on paper costs too many spoons. I have used Google docs & drive in the past but I currently use Notion (You can copy and paste this way!)
If you still want a physical grimoire, print your stuff out and stick it in a binder or glue it in your journal. Boom. Physical grimoire
Listen to witchcraft related videos in the background while you do other tasks or chores in your home
Preparing a meal? Toss in spices that correspond with good health and drawing in positivity, or any other intention you have
Enchant your glasses to help you focus and "read between the lines" or see what wants to remain hidden (this one is a lifesaver at my job)
