Through the ages, countless magical powers have been attributed to bells.  To the people of the Middle Ages, the supernatural world was very real and close. Mystical powers were attributed to countless objects, including bells. Even long after the medieval era, the Church itself condoned the use of bells to frighten away evil spirits. Typical of this belief was the "passing bell" rung for the dead to keep evil spirits from molesting the body.

​

Sound is vibration and vibrations are important, especially in magick. To help achieve the right vibrations, the right mood or frequency, it helps to actually ring a bell. It is also rung to halt storms or  evoke good energies. Placed in cupboards or hung on the door, they guard the home.

​

Because bells are also used as a warning and a device to draw our attention, don’t ignore its symbolism at this time. Think of this bell as an alarm.  You are being alerted to a situation that needs your immediate attention.

 

Incantation:  I hear the warning and will comply, before it does intensify. If I do this with lightning speed, I most certainly will succeed.

Corresponding Stone: Malachite

Folklore records that if a piece of malachite breaks, it is a warning of impending danger. This stone has a resonant, harmonizing quality, like that of a bell; it serves as both an advisory and a guide when you have need for it. Carry malachite to strengthen your resolve to stay safe when warnings arise.
