Description:

You will have one partner for this swap. It is sender's choice, though you might want to look at your partner's profile as you make this charm bag. This is a well-known magickal process. . Select material that you would like for your bag. Velvet, felt, or leather are good choices to make it a bit more weighty. You can also use cotton or any other fabric. Because of it's rich texture, velvet is a good choice for charm bags designed to bring money and prosperity to your partner.

Select the color of fabric for your charm bag. The color you choose depends on the purpose for your bag. With magickal partnering, it is serendipitous how it becomes the perfect match. Settle into your own special space to do this work.

Pink is used for love. (self-love, drawing love, nurturing love)

Red is used for passion or sex.

Black is used for banishing. (use only positive energy, knowing that what you send out returns to you 10 times)

Blue is used for spirituality and healing.

Purple is used for protection and also for psychic power.

Gold is used for wealth and prosperity.

Green is used for financial matters.

White is used for purity and cleansing. It can also be used for spirituality.

Other color associations that you may want to consider are:

Silver for the Goddess

Gold for the God

White for the angels or your spirit guide.

Green for fairies.

Cut your material into two square sections. Consider the size and how it might be used. Place the two pieces together with the insides facing each other. Personally, I have cut them about 4" square.

The best way is to hand sew. Slowly sew three of the sides of the pouch together. While you sew your charm bag, focus your thoughts on the purpose for the charm. Visualize your goal coming true for your partner, and know that as you sew your energy is being put into the charm bag and being sent out into the Universe and to the Goddess.

Next you can decorate your charm bag in any way that you wish. You may wish to draw meaningful symbols on the bag. You can can write your purpose on the bag. Sewing beads, sequins, ribbons, or other decorations on the bag is a good idea. The more effort and time you put into decorating and working with your charm bag, the more of your personal energy you infuse into it. While you are doing this, imagine that the charm bag is working its magic for your partner. (because it is sender's choice & you can start working on the bag as soon as you sign up, we simply trust the energy will work for our partners, even before they are assigned).

Now add the ingredients that you want to have in your charm bag. You can use anything that you feel is symbolic of the goal you wish to reach. Dried herbs, crystals, photos, written words, flower petals, trinkets, a small magnet (for magnetism), you can even dab the inside or outside of the bag with essential oil. You may wish to wait until partners are assigned and check their profile in case they are scent sensitive.

Sew the top of your charm bag closed. If you wish, you can sew a ribbon onto the bag to hang it with. Your partner may also carry the charm bag in their pocket or purse.

.01 away from the rating requirement, so if I can get that bumped up in time, I'll definitely join in!

I think this is a wonderful idea! I was wondering if a good quality (handmade) crocheted bag would work as well as a fabric bag sewn together? I've made some nice dice bags in the past and I can see a charm bag coming out beautifully with this technique.

@Dakotaann so happy you resolved it...shows you have good intentions to send off and receive in kind. Your concept for the bag is great. This is senders choice and my suggestions above were simply that, guidelines to get the creative juices flowing.
