1.Select the material that you would like to use for your bag. Velvet, felt, or leather are good choices. You can also use cotton or any other fabric. Because of it's rich texture, velvet is a good choice for charm bags designed to bring money and prosperity to you.

2.Select the color of fabric for your charm bag. The color you choose depends on the purpose for your bag.

◦Pink is used for love.

◦Red is used for passion or sex.

◦Black is used for banishing and revenge.

◦Blue is used for spirituality and healing.

◦Purple is used for protection and also for psychic power.

◦Gold is used for wealth and prosperity.

◦Green is used for financial matters.

◦White is used for purity and cleansing. It can also be used for spirituality.

3.Other color associations that you may want to consider are:

◦Silver for the Goddess

◦Gold for the God

◦White for the angels or your spirit guide.

◦Green for fairies.

4.Cut your material into two square sections. Place the two pieces together with the insides facing each other.

Slowly sew three of the sides of the pouch together. While you sew your charm bag, focus your thoughts on the purpose for the charm. Visualize your goal coming true for you and know that as you sew your energy is being put into your charm bag and being sent out into the Universe and to the Goddess.

5.Next you can decorate your charm bag in any way that you wish. You may wish to draw meaningful symbols on the bag. You can can write your purpose on the bag. Sewing beads, sequins, ribbons, or other decorations on the bag is a good idea. The more effort and time you put into decorating and working with your charm bag, the more of your personal energy you infuse into it. While you are doing this, imagine that the charm bag is working its magic for you.

6.Now add the ingredients that you want to have in your charm bag. You can use anything that you feel is symbolic of the goal you wish to reach. Dried herbs, crystals, photos, written words, flower petals, trinkets, a small magnet (for magnetism), you can even spray the inside or outside of the bag with a perfume or dab it with essential oil.

7.Sew the top of your charm bag closed. If you wish, you can sew a ribbon onto the bag to hang it with. You may also carry the charm bag in your pocketbook, bag, or in your pocket.

Psychic Protection Bag
This little charm bag is a potent Wiccan protection spell that you should keep on you at all times to protect against psychic attacks or other such phenomenon.
•4 black candles
•A small fabric bag in either purple or black
•About a tablespoons worth of:
•Agrimony
•Anise
•Horehound
•Sandalwood
•Rue
•One piece each of:
•Onyx
•Jet
•Hematite

Before you use it, you need to assemble and charge up this protection charm. Set the four candles up in holders in the shape of a square. In the middle, pile all the parts of your charm bag. Light the candles and concentrate on their light. Visualize it flowing into the center and filling up the herbs and stones you have there. Repeat the following:

By the light of four,
Harm me no more.

Repeat several times while you charge up the materials. When your satisfied, gather everything together and fill the bag with stones and herbs. Tie it tightly shut and place back in the center of the candles. Do the same visualization and repeat the same words again. When you feel that the bag is ready to go, snuff out the candles and start to carry the charm with you.

Remember that this Wiccan protection spell is intended to block psychic or astral energy, but it will do as a more general protection amulet in a pinch.

Broken Glass Charm Bag

This little charm bag is carried around with you to help protect you from the effects of the negative spell. After 7 days, the spell should be broken completely. Get your stuff together:
•A small black bag of a sturdy fabric
•Shards of broken glass (not more than 3)
•A piece of onyx, obsidian and/or jet
•A piece of copper wire, around 3 inches long

Twist up the bit of wire into a knot and drop it into the bag, saying "You are broken and have no power over me". Repeat the same words as you drop each piece of glass and stone into the bag. Tie the bag shut, also repeating the same words.

Now you need to have this bag with you for 7 days, including near your bed when you are sleeping.
