witchofthewyrd:When to spell: time of day So these are my correspondences from my grimoire for times of day, plus my reasoning, which may or may not coincide with other associations. I focus on my personal associations, but also the practicalities of doing certain spells depending on how light it is (based on autumn in my region of the UK). Since my focus is on how light it is, I’m not distinguishing “morning” from “afternoon” and such. Night:The sun is asleep and it’s totally dark. This is a good time for preparation: preparing for the next day, an upcoming spell or ritual, an upcoming event. It’s also a good time to do anything involving secrecy, especially once everyone’s asleep and the house is quiet. Spells for: understanding, cleansing, magical powers.Dawn:The sun is starting to rise. Light is returning and the day is beginning, but it’s not totally light yet. This is a good time to work with beginnings and goals for the day ahead. Since the day is beginning to get brighter and brighter, this is also a good time to start spells that you intent to grow throughout the day.Spells for: motivation, confidence, luck.Day:The sun is high in the sky. This is a good time to focus on your daily responsibilities, and everything associated with them - relationships, habits, and skills.Spells for: fertility, relationships or communication, improving skills and knowledge.Sunset:The sun is setting, and the day’s almost over. There’s still some light left, so this is your chance to finish off anything needing done each day as well as reap the rewards of your efforts. As daylight hours are decreasing, this is also a time to do work with banishing or breaking.Spells for: dedication, success, prosperity, banishing or breaking. Spells throughout the day:You could include aspects of each time of day into a day-long spell. Taking a luck spell as an example:Night: cleanse anything you intend to use and incorporate understanding to help you understand the effects of the spell on yourself and others. Dawn: begin “growing” the spell, and incorporate luck. Make sure your goal (intent) for the spell is clear.Day: incorporate aspects of your daily routine that you need the luck for. (Charge the spell after class if you need luck for an upcoming test, for example.)Sunset: incorporate success to help the spell work well, incorporate banishing to banish unintended effects and complete the spell. The spell is now complete, and can be cast at any time. Of course, you could include any combination of these times (though I’d only include times that follow one another - so I wouldn’t just skip dawn and do night and day, for example). Spells throughout the seasons:Since this can be season dependant, it can be adapted if that suits you better. It might be better to start a luck spell at night and charge it while you sleep if dawn is at 3am, for example, or you could just do it during the day.
