If I tell you "enchanted object" you might think of Alice's mirror in Wonderland, Cinderella's pumpkin, or the magical sorting hat in the Harry Potter saga... But in white magic, it is possible to practice enchantments on much more ordinary objects. I invite you to discover how to enchant an object in 5 questions.
An enchantment is a magical operation that is performed on a person or thing.
In order to enchant an object, it is possible to perform different white magic rituals that serve to bind energy and intention to the chosen object.
In theory, it is possible to practice an enchantment on all objects, including the most ordinary ones.
It is interesting to enchant certain everyday objects to give them magical properties. For example, you can practice an enchantment on:
• your perfume bottle or hairbrush to attract love.
• your wallet to attract money.
• your favorite pen or work tools to find inspiration.
• your jewelry to attract luck or ward off the evil eye, for example.
An object doesn't need to be valuable to be linked to a magical intention. The most important thing is not the actual value of the object, but rather the value it holds in your eyes, as the strength of an enchantment relies on the will of the person practicing it.
However, regardless of the chosen object, it is always necessary to clean and purify it before enchanting it. This purification step is essential to avoid interference from residual energies.
There is no single ritual to enchant an object. One could even say that there are as many enchantments as there are enchanters because each practitioner of white magic has their own beliefs and favorite rituals.
Among the most common forms of enchantments, we can mention:
• Enchantment through the elements: water, earth, fire, and air.
• Sigil enchantment using a sigil (which is a symbol representing an intention).
• Enchantment with the support of an entity such as a fairy or a deity.
As an example, we will explain to you how to enchant a piece of jewelry to transform it into a talisman or amulet.
Amulets and talismans are two types of magical objects that are worn. However, they serve different purposes: an amulet is a protective shield that repels negative energies away from its wearer, while a talisman is used to attract positive energies and support the magical powers of the person wearing it.
Here is a possible ritual to bestow magical powers upon a personal object, such as a ring or pendant.
Choose a piece of jewelry that has meaning to you, either because of its material or the symbolism it carries. To create a protective amulet, you can choose a symbol of protection such as a horseshoe, pentagram, or animal claw. To create an even more effective talisman, choose a symbol of what you wish to attract, for example, a four-leaf clover for luck or a piece of rose quartz for love.
Formulate a clear intention. This step is essential in most magical rituals. It is crucial when you want to bind an intention and magical power to an object.
Choose a calm environment and a suitable time to perform the enchantment. It is recommended to practice this type of ritual during the waxing moon phase. Additionally, each day of the week is reputed to be favorable for a specific form of magic:
- Monday for healing magic.
- Tuesday to strengthen one's powers.
- Wednesday to facilitate divination.
- Thursday to attract money.
- Friday to attract love.
- Saturday for protection magic.
- Sunday to promote happiness.
Purify the object with salt, moonlight, spring water, or smudging (using incense or a smudge stick).
Charge the object with your intention by holding it between your hands to transfer your energy. Visualize your intention in your thoughts, as if your wish has already been fulfilled, and speak your intention aloud.

The more time and energy you put into an enchantment, the longer the effectiveness of the enchanted object lasts.
However, it is important to know that enchanted objects always eventually discharge over time. Therefore, you will need to rely on your intuition and recharge your amulets, talismans, and other magical objects whenever you deem it necessary.
To recharge an object, you can either redo the initial ritual or use a homemade or store-bought charging plate from an esoteric shop. Charging plates are wooden, obsidian, or selenite stone plates engraved with magical symbols.
