What everyday objects in your home could become powerful magical tools? Charity Bedell returns to share her expertise on practical witchcraft and how ordinary items can be transformed into vessels for intention and spellwork.
Growing up in a household that blended Christian teachings with profound nature reverence, Charity developed a unique spiritual perspective that eventually led her to identify as both a pagan and a witch. Her father taught her early on that "Mother Nature knows what's going on" and that trees and animals possess their own spirits. This foundation, combined with her questioning after her grandmother's passing when she was thirteen, set her on a path of magical exploration that continues to this day.
Charity's published works reflect her practical, accessible approach to magic. In "Container Magic," she explores how jars, bottles, sachets, and even paper packets can serve as vessels for spells, making magic tangible and manageable for practitioners of all experience levels—even children as young as ten with proper guidance. She thoughtfully addresses the full lifecycle of magical tools, including the often overlooked aspect of how to properly dispose of them when their purpose is fulfilled. Her discussion of witch balls—protective ornaments designed to trap negative energies—reveals how traditional magical tools continue to serve important functions in contemporary practice.
Looking ahead to her forthcoming book "Powerful Powders" (March 2026), Charity shares how pre-charged magical powders can serve as ready-to-use spell components for days when energy is low but magical support is needed. By blending psychology, spirituality, and what she playfully calls "pseudoscience," she creates a practical framework for magic that appeals to diverse practitioners. Her seasonal practices for autumn and Samhain beautifully balance celebrating nature's cycles with honoring ancestral connections.
Ready to transform ordinary objects into extraordinary magical tools? Listen now and discover why Charity's final piece of advice—to trust your intuition and not let self-doubt sabotage your practice—might be the most powerful spell of all.

Charity is an established author in the fields of witchcraft and nature spirituality, with her works published by prominent publishers such as Union & Square (formerly Sterling Ethos) and Llewellyn. Her writing explores the intersections of magic, folk practices, and the spiritual connections with the natural world.
