Even though there are many sources for you to find all kinds of spells, I often find it hard to find something that is perfectly fitting and, or working for me. You can incorporate different candles, herbs, oils, stones, symbols or pretty much anything. I know many very small rituals witches use in their everyday life to incorporate magick. As an artist, I find it very easy to use color magick, since all I often use is colored pencils and some paper. However, candles are totally working as well or you could use the colors in your makeup for example. Possibilities are endless.

I will give you an overview of the following things you can use to create spells; color meanings, some super simple herbs that are easy to find in grocery stores, how to dry your own herbs, essential oils, crystals and affordable ingredients.

To dry them, it's easiest to air dry them. Trim them at an angle to protect the remaining plant and gather together a few branches. Use either cord or a rubber band to secure the bundle, which you will then hang in a dry, ideally dark place for about a week (depending on the plant and the environment). When storing them, make sure it's an airtight container.

Rose Quartz: attracts love, lowers stress, promotes self-love

Amethyst: natural stress relieve, protects vibration and aura, increases spirituality, dream work

Clear Quartz: healing, clearing, cleansing

Citrine: happiness, abundance

Black Onyx: blocks negative energy, peace, strengthening

Essential oils:

Lavender: calming, sleep, stress relieving

Peppermint: helps with tiredness, concentration, stimulation

Lemon: peace, luck, uplifting

Lemongrass: peace, clarity, helps with tiredness

Eucalyptus: concentration, healing, helps with sadness, soothing

Tea Tree: strength, calmness, stress relieving, purifying

Orange: happiness, peace, luck

Vanilla:  calmness, helps with depression

Besides just "spells" you can use the oils with a diffuser or in beauty related things such as baths or for body care.

A few words to note;

All the things mentioned above are products of my own research. I use many of them in my daily use and what works for, might not work for you. Do your research and be safe! Also worth mentioning is that I changed a few sources in the past chapters, since the people/ witches changed their social media names. However, there is a chapter with all resources coming.
