Put a Spell on Your Reader
Creative Writing Prompt
This week’s prompt is to write a spell, however you interpret that.
You can read more about Chen Chen’s “A Spell to Find Family” in my last post Writing Lessons from the Strength Card (Part 2).
Other examples:
“A Spell to Translate Dusk” by Ann DiVilbiss
Many of Yoko Ono’s poems from Grapefruit read like spells.
If you’re a witch, spells will probably come easy to you. Otherwise, you could think of them as a set of instructions that produce an effect: typically it’s something you want. With Yoko Ono’s poems, beginning each sentence with an imperative packs a punch. You could experiment with this.
If you’re interested in writing as magic, join me for my next Writing with Witch Archetypes class. Early Bird Special: Save $100 if you purchase by 3/16. This class is popular and usually sells out. 🔥
