Greetings and welcome back to The Spellbox Series! 

Months ago we had an "Inner Child Pizza Party" live call, on The Witches membership tier (Level 3). 

In that call, we discussed all of our childhood nostalgia, the feeling of infinite possibility when you're a child - and how we can infuse that sense of wonder, play and possibility back into our lives as ADULTS.  

The lists below are from notes taken on that collective call. We all decided that there's no reason why we can't buy ourselves candy necklaces, Scooby Snack graham crackers and allow ourselves allotted time for very important things. Like bubble blowing and cartwheels. 

Chaos magic (a branch of occultism) often advocates for fun and silliness. It's stated that those qualities actually breed the best magic. The fastest manifestation. Activating your inner child can do wonders for your metaphysical health. When you're building a pillow fort and chewing on bubble tape,  you're so present in that moment that you barely care about anything else. 

You still want things, sure. But you're not grasping anything with an iron fist. 

You're having too much fun! Who has time for stress?

 Remember being a kid and playing outside on a summer day?  You'd tell yourself that as soon as you got home, you'd pull one of those cheap-blue-windex-looking-popsicles out of the freezer. You're excited for the popsicle, but that doesn't mean you're ready to go home! The sun is still out! You're having fun! 

 Ah! The best way to manifest! 

So this is less of a specific spell/ritual, and more of an inspiration list. 

Create an altar space to invoke your inner child back into your energy. I could probably summon my inner child with scooby snacks, sno caps, a slap band and maybe Pocahontas or Anastasia on VHS. Oh and LUNCHABLES! 

That would summon her spirit out of the ether and into my body ... pronto! 

Wakey wakey, young Lucha - there's LUNCHABLES!

So summon the spirit of your inner child! Invoke them back into your energy field!

Ritualistically do something nostalgic and fun, for the sole purpose of sending a beacon out to the spirit of that little kid! 

Call that kid back to you! 

It's time for them to come home.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS WE ANSWERED/SHARED ON THE UNRECORDED LEVEL 3 CALL:

- What are some of the simple things that brought you joy as a child? It might be fun to write a list and bring them to the zoom call! (Ex: hopscotch, bubble tape, picking flowers etc.)  REALLY think about this! Take a few minutes before the call and write them down.

- How can we all do a better job of infusing little moments of child like joy into our lives now? Where's the balance? How can we achieve it?

- What are some simple ways that we can prioritize FUN. How can we make FUN a part of our day-to-day.

- What's the main difference between child-you , and you now? Are there any elements you'd like to bring back into your current personality and adult self?
