Being a human is hard sometimes. Luckily, as witches we've discovered our inner power to shape our own destiny. Sometimes you need a little bit of extra strength, whether that's physical, mental, emotional or spiritual to get you where you're trying to go.

A spell for strength can help you get through those tough times that are unavoidable. whether that's leaving a relationship, setting difficult boundaries, or climbing a mountain, you can use witchcraft to help you with anything. Here are some witchcraft materials for stength that will allow you to adapt or create a spell that meets your unique needs.

Correspondences

These are the non-physical energies that will lend power to your spell. Choose an auspicious timing, work with a deity, or bring in astrological energy. All of these can help you decide when and how your spell will work best.

Timing

Perform your spell at any time if you need strength in the moment. But if you have the ability to plan, here are some timings to consider.

• Tuesdays - Ruled by Mars, this is a good day to work spells related to strength, vitality, and courage
• Sunday - Ruled by the Sun, works spells for strength, personal growth, creativity, physical strength, and health
• Waxing moon - cast spells for strength as the moon slowly increases her power

Deities

To bring deities into the physical realm, add statues of pictures of them to your altar. Or choose a symbol of the deity, such as an animal or herb and work that into your spell to honor your chosen deity. Be sure you thank them for giving you the strength you asked for.

• Sekhmet - Egyptian goddess of grace, dignity, and strength
• Ganesh - Indian god of strength, perseverance, and overcoming obstacles
• Mithras - Persian fire god of strength, virility, courage, and wisdom

Astrology

You can perform your spell while the sun or moon is in the sign you want to work with. Or just work with their general energy by using herbs, incense, or crystals that correspond with that sign.

• Aries- Symbolized by the ram, Aries is bold, direct, and tenacious.
• Leo- This fire sign brings you the confidence of a roaring lion. Ask Leo to give you the strength to own your own power.
• Capricorn- Strong-willed and focused, Capricorn can give you the energy to climb to the top of th metaphorical mountain.
• Aquarius- Aquarius will give you strength of mind, especially when you are seeking justice for all.

Colors

My research didn't unearth any colors that specifically corresponded with the keyword strength, so here's my intuitive take. Use these colors in other materials such as candles, thread, ink, or other objects.

• Red- to give you the courage and fiery strength to persevere in a conflict
• Black- for impenetrability against whatever you're facing.

Elements

You can always call on the four elements to help you in any situation.

• Earth - Call on the strength of the trees and the encurance of the mountains
• Air - Ask that you be able to speak with the strength of your convictions
• Fire - Ask for fiery strength and motivation to help you accomplish your intention
• Water - Call in the power of the waves to keep on rolling until you've finished your task
