What spells can I do using strands of hair from me or someone else?
Sorry for being so broad, just very curious and I'm new around here.

Usually they would probably be used as a link to the target.

Magick works via thought and emotion, namely intent/will and to focus that intent and therefore the energy you would use focus points, things like crystals, statues of deities, symbols (pentagram/cle) etc... the hair would act like a symbolic link to make you focus on the target, either you or someone else. It wouldnt have any qualities of itself but it would be like looking at a picture of that person, it makes your mind, and therefore the energy and intent, focused on the target.

Im sure it could also be used in a hair related spell (EG hair growth) as a focus point for the idea of "i want more hair!!!" bundles up into a neat strand for you to focus on.

Linking to a target like in a love spell?
I want to atleast give a love spell a try just to see if hair can be used that way. I know most people on this forum are against that but I will take any consequences that come from casting such a spell.
So can anyone help me with such a spell?

*ANY* "spell" "curse" etc... Literally anything.

I will not help you cast a love spell, anyone who seeks love spells is, IMHO too immature to control magick.

This is not because of consequences, i do not believe there will be any consequence, but because i respect the free will of innocent people and your target is, in my eyes, innocent, and what you are seeking to do is bind them, take away their free will and FORCE them to you. In fact i would go so far as to say you are willing to rape them, emotionally and physically by means of the paranormal (the love spell).

Shadowx, that is so true. You should seriously post that somewhere. I think all need to see that before they do something quite stupid.

Here’s something you might want to think about King.

If you’re thinking of doing this love spell on someone who isn’t a witch, well that’s up to you I’m not going to preach ethics to anybody. To each his own.

But…

If you’re thinking of directing this spell towards a witch who is even modestly adept you might want to consider some things.

An adept witch is unusually in tune with herself, her surroundings, and the people in her life and will usually know when something is “off.”

She has a strong character and is inclined to know when someone is screwing with her.

She has an unusually well developed sense of self and will again know when someone is trying to manipulate her.


If someone tried something like that on me I can guarantee you that the last result that person would get would be any sense of love from me. In fact that person would probably find himself on the receiving end of a little spell work himself, and it wouldn’t be a love spell I assure you.

Just something to consider.

I agree with the advice given on love spells. My fiance and I use them all the time -- but with the other person's full permission. We've bound ourselves to each other at the same time and did love spells that strengthen each other's ability to feel the other's love energy. But always -- and I repeat always -- with consent. I'm the Witch amongst the two of us, but at times I think he's worse than me! He casts love spells like they're to be eaten. smileylove That being said, we don't take away each other's free will. We cast the spells with full knowledge that this is what we both desire and no one is being forced into anything. Consent and free will are my points here.

Also, why are you casting that love spell? Do you truly love the said person, or is it merely an experiement? Is the person going to be used as a means to an end? I believe that Love Itself is a spell, so you don't need to brew up anything. Just be yourself and love with every fibre of your being. If the person is meant for you he/she will return the love. But binding him/her via a love spell without their permission and/or knowledge thereof is Philosophically/ethically incorrect. Wrong. Taboo.

Things will not last. There are always conequences for taking away the other person's free will. My mentor tought me this from day one. So I would say think this through very carefully and analyze all the angles before deciding whether or not to cast the spell. Have peace about your decision in knowing that you are harming no one -- including yourself.

Blessed be )O(

Daughter_of_dea, I try the same at the moment with my partner. I'm casting various spells on him and see how they work and influence us both. The last one involved his hair. But I had also one which contained his sperm. It's mostly fun for both of us, but we enjoy deepening our bond this way.

This is not exactly a spell, but I use a few hairs as offerings. For example, if I stay at a beautiful place in nature, or if I find a crystal or fossil to take home with me, I leave some hair behind and say "thank you". Of course I don't carry a bag of HAIR around with me, I just pull out a couple from my head--or rip them off.
You should have seen my poor son screaming when I convinced him to let me chew off a couple of his own hairs as an offering for some fossils we found. Not the way to teach paganism to children. We still laugh about it, though.
