Spelling Is Spellwork: How Self-Talk Becomes Magick (and How to Recast It)

Why Every Time You Say “I Suck” You Just Performed Black Magick on Yourself, Sweet Pea

📚 Spelling Is Spells. Like... Literally.

✨ Content is free—but crows like snacks.

Let’s start with this:

• Grimoire = a spellbook

• Grammar = rules of language

• Spelling = forming words

• To cast a spell = to shape reality with words

• Your 4th grade teacher who corrected your spelling? = lowkey a witch

Yeah. Words are spells. Letters are symbols. You’ve been casting your whole life.

Every “I can’t,” every “I’m so stupid,” every whispered “I don’t deserve this” = a spell that spiraled inward and built itself a little altar in your nervous system.

You don’t need a wand. You need awareness.
(But if the wand’s cute, bring it.)

🧠 SPELLS ARE JUST BELIEFS THAT GOT STUCK

A spell is a belief with repetition and emotion behind it.

That’s it.

You said it enough times. You felt it while you said it. And now your body thinks it’s true.

• “I’ll never get better” = a spell

• “I’m always broke” = a spell

• “I’m too old / too much / too late” = a spell

• “This is just who I am” = possibly the stickiest spell of all

Spells are just patterns that forgot how to let go.

🪞 SPELLS CAN BE UNCAST (WITH GLITTER OR GUMPTION)

Here’s how you break a spell, baby crow:

1. Catch the phrase.

• That tired loop: “I always attract the wrong people,” “Nothing ever works out for me.”

2. Feel how it feels.

• Where does it land in the body? (Jaw? Gut? Chest-pressure-of-doom?)

3. Ask: “What’s the opposite of this spell—and how would it feel if it were true?”

• “I’m learning to attract safe, clear-hearted people.”

• “More and more, life shows up for me in ways that feel good.”

(Notice: you don’t have to lie to yourself. Just... recast.)

💋 EVERY WORD IS AN INGREDIENT

You ever watch someone cook with rage? That soup tastes like resentment stew.

Same with spells.

• What you say while you stir = spell

• What you think while you walk = spell

• What you repeat in your head = spell

• What you listen to, binge-watch, or scroll endlessly = ambient spell absorption

Words = ingredients.
Your vibe = the oven.
Your body = the cauldron.
You = the witch. Period.

🧹 EVERYONE’S A SPELLCASTER. SOME JUST DON’T KNOW IT YET.

That mean lady from work? Spellcaster. Your toddler screaming about grapes? Tiny wizard of chaos. You saying “I’m just tired” 14 times a day? Spell.
You scrolling TikTok and absorbing 76 people’s grief loops in 10 minutes? Spell soup.

You don’t get to opt out of casting spells.

But you DO get to start choosing what you're casting.

🔥 TRY THIS: THE CROW CROCS SPELL CLEANSE

A Level 13 Loui Spell to unhook the crap you didn’t mean to manifest.

Step 1: Stand up. Seriously.
Step 2: Say out loud:

“I release every spell I didn’t mean to cast—on myself or anyone else.
I revoke the loops. I unplug the cords.
I return to sender all programming that doesn’t serve my glow-up.”
Step 3: Clap three times.
Step 4: Say:
“My words are my wand.
And I’m only pointing it where I want to go.”
Step 5: Strut. Even just across the room. Bonus points for literal Crocs.

✨ CRAFT YOUR OWN SPELL (YES, YOU.)

You already do it. Let’s do it on purpose this time.

🔮 INTENTION: What’s the shift you desire?

“I want to feel safe in my body.”
“I want to speak kindly to myself.”
“I want to start over.”

🪶 INGREDIENTS:

• Words that feel true-ish, even if you’re not 100% there yet

• Something to say it with feeling (hands, body, song, shower time)

• Repetition + breath + belief

📜 SAMPLE SPELL:

“Hand on heart, I say what I want to feel.
I say it like it’s already real.
I breathe in soft. I breathe out strong.
My truth has waited for me all along.”

Boom. Spell.

🖤 FINAL WORD FROM THE CROW

You don’t need incense to declare your wholeness.

You don’t need Latin to write your new timeline.

You just need to pay attention to the words you feed your nervous system—and the stories you let yourself believe.

Because the most powerful spell is the one that says:

“I’m allowed to feel different now.”

And the crow?
She’s always listening.

Oh honey. You just pulled the ripcord on the spell-thread.
Let’s go deeper than the root chakra of language itself.

Welcome to:

🖋️ SPELLS, SYLLABLES & THE SABOTAGE OF SMALL TALK

or: Why “I’m fine” is a hex and “I’m learning” is a portal.

⚡ Let’s Start With This:

The first spell ever cast was probably “I am.”

Two words. That’s it.
But baby crow—that’s the whole wand.

Because whatever comes after “I am” becomes the mold your nervous system pours itself into.

Say it enough, with feeling? You’re wearing that mold.

“I am too much.”
“I am broken.”
“I am always anxious.”
“I am lazy / late / lost / loud / not enough.”

Y’all.

That’s spellwork.
And not the cute kind.

🧠 WHERE DO SPELLS LIVE?

In your language.
In your loops.
In your face when you say, “just kidding” but your chest caves in.

They live in:

• Instagram captions that pretend you’re okay

• Apologies that taste like betrayal

• Songs you scream in the car because they match your wound

• Thoughts you repeat so often they became your décor

Spells don’t float above us.
They form in us.

They ride the breath and land in the cells.

✂️ A HEX IS JUST A SPELL THAT STUCK TOO LONG

Ever notice how the “jokes” you repeat become your identity?

“Ugh, my back is always killing me.”
“I’m the anxious friend.”
“I’m literally cursed in relationships.”
“My kid is a demon in Target.” 😬

🎯 That’s the hex.
It’s not a witch with a chicken foot.
It’s the narrative you let repeat unchallenged.

Spells = beliefs with rhythm.
Hexes = beliefs with consequences.

💥 WHY SPELLS FEEL “REAL” (AND LIES FEEL SAFER)

Because the spell that hurts is familiar.
And baby, the nervous system loves familiar—even when it’s a dumpster fire.

“But I’ve always hated my body.”
“But I’ve always needed to explain myself.”
“But I’ve never been enough for people.”

Congratulations. You’ve created a repeating emotional sigil out of survival.

But survival ≠ truth.
And what’s familiar is not the same as what’s holy.

🧬 THE SPELLS YOU ABSORBED AREN’T YOURS

Let’s talk inheritance.
Every kid is born casting spells like:

“I’m allowed to want.”
“I get to cry and be held.”
“This is mine because I said so.”

Then come the grownups.

And suddenly the spells become:

• “Don’t talk back.”

• “We don’t act like that.”

• “Be quiet or I’ll give you something to cry about.”

• “Money doesn’t grow on trees.”

• “You’ll understand when you’re older.”

• “That’s just how it is.”

Yup.
Your first spells were taught to you by people who were still under someone else’s.

It’s time to interrupt the ritual.

🎙️ BREAKING A SPELL (ADVANCED, CROW-LEVEL)

Try this on a bad thought loop. When the loop rises, say out loud:

“Spell detected.”
“Loop interrupted.”
“This was never mine.”
“Casting override.”

Then, place your hand on your chest and say a new spell, like:

“I cast clarity.”
“I cast softness.”
“I cast enough.”
“I cast return-to-sender.”

Words + gesture + breath = spell recoding.

It doesn’t need to be long. It needs to be felt.

🪬 EVERY SPELL NEEDS A BODY TO LAND IN

Want to cast stronger spells?

Then:

• Don’t just say it—embody it.

• Don’t just write it—breathe it.

• Don’t just wish—move like it’s already shifted.

Say “I’m allowed to rest” while scrolling? Cute.
Say it while closing the laptop and laying down? SPELL.

Say “I am worthy” while hate-blinking in a mirror? Meh.
Say it while dancing barefoot in your kitchen? SPELL.

Say “I release what isn’t mine” while holding your breath? Okay.
Say it while exhaling like a crow just flew through you? SPELL.

✍️ SPELL JOURNAL PROMPTS (FOR GLITCHING OLD MAGIC)

1. What’s the oldest belief I’ve said out loud about myself—over and over?

2. Where did it come from? Whose voice taught it?

3. What would it feel like to say the opposite—not perfectly, just once?

4. What’s a silly, roasty, slightly absurd spell I can say instead?

🪄 Example:

“I’m not cursed. I’m just coded weird, and that’s hot.”
“I don’t chase—I magnetize like a glittery raccoon trap.”
“If I’m a problem, I’m also the riddle. Solve me, babe.”

🧨 FINAL CROW MIC DROP

You don’t need:

• A wand

• A robe

• Permission from a moon phase

You just need to stop casting against yourself, and start casting on purpose.

The truth is:

You’ve been spelling your whole life.
You just forgot you had the pen.
You just forgot you were the wand.

And now?

🪶 You remember.
