Snow magick isn’t your average magickal practice—it’s rare, fleeting, and carries a certain audacity. After all, snow demands attention; it transforms the landscape, muffles chaos, and creates a canvas of stillness ripe for your mischief!
This collection of snowy spells is for the wayward witch who refuses to let winter’s chill keep them indoors. These spells draw on the purity and impermanence of snow, offering you tools to freeze negativity, illuminate the darkest nights, and even whisper your wishes to the winds.
So grab your cloak (fleece or otherwise), your lantern, and perhaps a hot flask of something nice. Step into the frosty world and let snow show you how to turn its icy embrace into enchanted power. Because let’s face it—winter isn’t just a season; it’s a vibe.
