The Magic of Egg Shells: Rituals for Manifestation and More
Have you ever cracked an egg and felt a spark of something magical? That fragile shell, often discarded without a second thought, holds immense power in the realm of witchcraft and manifestation. Today, we're diving into the enchanting world of egg shell magic – a practice that spans across Wiccan, New Age, folk magic, and eclectic witchcraft traditions.
A Whisper from the Past
Egg shells have been revered in magical practices for centuries. Our ancestors recognized the egg as a symbol of life, rebirth, and infinite potential. From ancient fertility rites to protection spells, these delicate calcium structures have played a crucial role in rituals around the globe.
I remember the first time I held a cleansed egg shell in my palm during a full moon ritual. The energy pulsing through it was undeniable – a reminder that magic often resides in the most unassuming objects.
A few tips
IF you intend to use egg shells for spell or ritual work or in your manifestation practices I highly recommend you know where your eggs came from. Eggs that come fron a processing center are attached to traumatic energies. Seek out a neighbors flock or a local chicken enthusiast who treats thier flock like family/pets. These eggs/shells stat with a higher vibration for your magic.
Next be sure to remove the chalice (the inner membrane from the shell. I like to let mine dry a bit after that which allows them to break up easily.
Dry herbs can also be grinned into the egg shell to create ritual powders for specific intentions and goals.
