How does a emoji spell work?? Does it work? Lol’

Hey dear!

Good question! I’m actually running a few tests on it myself. It kinda just started off with me wanting to start a web altar and dabble in a bit of technological witchcraft. So get ready for a lot longer answer than you anticipated lol.

I’m going to be completely honest, I was a bit closed minded with the whole emoji spell thing and I’m still a bit skeptical with how people use it on here. But I think its a great way to manifest small things! I’m trying to find which types of spell emojis and how to do them works best for ME. So even though it may or may not work for me, that doesnt mean it wont work for you. From my findings, emoji spells have quite a bit of pros and cons. 

The whole “like to charge, reblog to cast” thing doesnt work for me. Like unless a massive group of people are putting all their energy into the post, I really dont think liking a post will charge it lol that’s my opinion, some may say other wise. Another thing: a lot of people dont really know how to properly channel their energy into things as well, so that’s a bit sketch for me. Also, I’m not the biggest fan of mixing my energy with a massive group anyways. I’m an empath, I already deal with enough of that shit already lol. So I want to be mindful of who’s energy I’m gathering and also getting permission to send some of my energy as well. You cant really do that when 1,000+ people have already liked and reblogged it lol. So those are the cons for me.

For the pros: I like the aesthetic of it. I think its really cute and it fuels my Libra moon’s desire to live for the aesthetic™  lol. BUT THATS NOT WHY WE DO WITCH CRAFT. Just throwing that out there lol. I also like that its a fun, creative way to practice manifesting. Its very simple to do. It takes less than 5 minutes to create one if you know exactly what type of energy you’re trying to channel. It gives people a creative outlet. It also helps beginner spell casters and those who feel like they arent the best spell writers by keeping it short and simple. 

 As for it working…I’ve come to find it does! For the most part at least. I definitely tried to be open minded about reblogging one, but that way didnt work for me. So now I use emoji spells a little different and a lot more personal. I’ve only created a few for myself, but it seems to me that you’re asking about the ones we see all over Tumblr. So I’ll focus on answering for those types of spells. First I want to say that if you see me reblog an emoji spell, its because I wanted to give credit to the person who made it. That isnt really me casting it quite yet.  But what I do is take that emoji spell (sometimes I change an emoji or two to fit my needs) and I create a text or email to myself. Then I type my intentions and what I hope to manifest from it. I read it back to myself and say a prayer then I send it to myself for the cast. One of my email addresses basically became a manifestation journal for me, in all honesty lol. So it kinda turned into my online grimoire which I’m pretty ecstatic about.

Now I’m not saying there is a “right” or “wrong” way to cast emoji spells because your craft is your own.. I honestly dont know if the way I’m doing it is even “correct” but hey its works for me, at least in some ways, and its really helping me grow by keeping this sort of journal. I know this was a super long rant, but I hope it helps and hopefully I answered your question lol
