Witchcraft: Are there any spells that can help my insecurities/self esteem?
Describe what certain spells can do for someone(like how they are used and what for), have you ever done a spell? and please don't tell me not to try it, it's not good for you, just answer the question.
the real question is in the title. I want to be a happier person please help me.
i used to do spells when i was little with my best friend, and there are allot of different spells but they are tricky, just look it up and honestly i may not have done spells in a long time but i do remember that if you are a witch you should know that doing a spell on you is personal gain and that never works out.
You will need:
1 stick Frankincense incense in a secure holder
one green candle, 6-8"
one pale blue candle, 6-8"
matches or a lighter
one sharp tack
one clean copper disk
one wineglass or goblet
one red rosebud
one sprig rosemary
apple juice, 3 oz
natural spring water, 3 oz
Timing: best cast on a waxing moon on Friday
1. Cast your circle
2. Light the incense and the candles.
3. Using the tack, inscribe the initial of your first name and a heart symbol on the copper disk.
4. Place it into the chalice, saying:
By that which I hold dear
Add the rosebud, saying:
By that which I love best
Add the rosemary, saying:
By that which I value
Pour the apple juice and water, saying:
By what is sweet,
By what is pure
Hold the chalice in both hands before the candles, and say:
May I hold myself dear
May I love myself well
May I be that which I value.
5. Leave the chalice undisturbed in the open in moonlight for an hour; then drink the potion.
6. Bury the disk, rosebud, and rosemary beneath a beloved plant in your garden or in a nearby green space.
Not that I know of, but you can try to look at spellsofmagic.com. Oh, and you could also try some meditation to strengthen your chakras. This sounds like your solar plexus chakra. It is the center of low self esteem, jealousy, insecurity, and stuff like that. It sounds like it might be a weak chakra for you. You're lucky. That's easy to fix. My weakest chakra is my throat chakra. Anyway, just do some meditation for that.
Pretty much, if you can conceive of a need or desire, there is a spell to help you achieve it. Spellcraft is an art that is adaptable to just about any human need.
There are probably a great number of spells that can help you achieve this particular goal, but I'll list my favorites.
My basic universal-purpose spell is a candle spell. This involved charging a candle with a need or goal and lighting it. This can be adapted to any need and can be surrounded by many layers of other ritual that can help strengthen the working, but the basics involve concentrating on what you want... (in this case, focusing on how you would feel if you were confident, self-assure, had self-respect and pride in yourself) and putting that image mentally and energetically into or onto the candle. Adding herbs, oils or other ritual actions (such as using chanting to raise energy, using a photo of yourself to help you focus etc) can help add oomph.
The candle can be used to add oomph to other ritual actions as well. One of the most effective for self-improvement and self-esteem that I know of, is keeping up a series of affirmations. This could be anything, such as "I am worthwhile, I am beautiful, I am a successful person, I am a fountain of joy and all those around me are happier people for knowing me, I am a white-light being full of infinite potential, I am a skilled and talented individual who works hard and is recognized for my contributions, I am desirable, charismatic, friendly," etc etc etc... whatever it is that you wish to become. Spend a little time every day repeating these affirmations (and picturing them as true... always work in present-tense... if you say "I will be happy" your goal will always be in the future, just beyond your grasp), perhaps as a chant with your candle lit. Perhaps do this in front of a mirror. Use symbols and reminders of these goals whenever you can... pictures of yourself smiling, awards you've won, a picture of a hero you admire, a string wrapped around your wrist in a color that reminds you of how you want to feel... get creative and fill your life with these symbols, reminders, affirmations and self-assurances. Fill your life with the energy you hope to reflect within yourself and avoid people and situations who bring you down, insult you, anger you or make you feel unworthy as much as you can.
It may seem silly at first, but eventually, you will begin to feel the effects. It works! It worked for me... it took some time, but it really did work for me.

try Christopher pancakes books, they are helpful. I enjoy them and am getting stronger. You may need to do some shadow work and confront that. Also ask Hecate for help.
There is nothing wrong with doing a spell like this, but there is one very important thing to keep in mind before you do it - no spell will ever work unless you give it room to. For example, if you wanted to do a spell to meet knew friends and then locked yourself in your bedroom then the spell will be doomed to failure.
Before doing an spell work you should first try and figure out why you aren't as happy as you would like to be. This may seem like a very mundane approach but unfortunately this is the best way to get the kind of success you want.
You might like to start with doing some meditations and path workings to discover what issues you may need to deal with. You could also try going for energy healing, such as Reiki, which might help you explore the issues more deeply and begin to work on them from an energetic level.
Once you have started opening the channels to allow yourself to change, I would suggest doing some rituals that are focused on more specific goals. Instead of just doing a spell to "increase self esteem" you should now know that, for example, you often speak harshly to yourself when you forget to do something, so your spell would be to improve your memory. You could also back this up with a daily mantra on speaking kindly to yourself.
If it really were as easy as just doing a spell in order to change who we are, then we'd all be successful, happy and wealthy people. :-)
I hope you find happiness no matter what path you choose to take. Good luck!
