Elemental Spell Ideas

blackivywitch:

Most of the time, I try to do spellwork with the intent aligned with a specific element in order to use the energy of that element.Here are some ideas for choosing a type of spell based on its elemental
alignment.

Water

• charge herbs, stones, etc and throw into a
  moving body of water, such as a river, stream, or ocean. You can use a pond or
  lake, but I think the moving water has more effect.
• Take a ritual bath with oils or herb blends
  suited for your purpose. The bath itself is cleansing, and soaking in the
  herbs, oils, and water while focusing on intent/chanting can be super powerful.
• Carve runes or sigils into soap or bath bomb and
  use in bath. As the runes/sigil disappear, the spell is released.
• Draw sigils into dirt with a stick/finger, let
  rain wash it away or pour water over it to release (this is also an earth
  spell)
• Make teas/potions with edible(be careful!) herbs
• Do a blessing or chant over wine or other
  beverages for yourself or to share any time (kitchen witchery is fantastic!)
• Wash items with blessed and charged water to
  cleanse and purify. This can be ritual tools or just anything that you feel
  needs to be cleansed of negative energy.

Earth

• Carve names, words, runes or sigils, into fruit
  and bury in a pot of dirt or in the ground. Good for things that you want to
  have manifest slowly.
• For permanent effect, bury something that will
  not decompose, such as a stone or a glass bottle filled with items, herbs,
  images, etc.
• Carve spells into wood or burn symbols into
  wood.
• Recharge stones by burying them in dirt, sand,
  or salt
• Collect dirt or sand from locations with good
  energy to use in rituals
• Cooking! Specifically baking. (this can also be
  a fire spell, depending on what your’re making)

Air

• Make incense
• Place charms and other charged items in high
  locations or tie them onto tree branches
• Astral or dream work
• Create wind chimes or charms to hang in windows
  or outside near your home
• Use incense to cleanse items and banish negative
  energy from your home 

Fire

• Write sigils, names, words, runes, etc on paper
  and burn. This can be used for manifestation or banishing
• Use bonfires to raise energy
• Fire gazing or fire scrying
• Candle magick
• Sex magick
• Burn carves wax figures for banishing
• Write on bay leaves and burn or place on an incense
  coal
• Again, cooking!

These are just my associations and methods that I find useful. There are of course countless other options!
