As with many Witches—or, for those of you Harry Potter fans,

“wizards”—I was born with a need to wear prescription
eyeglasses. Yet, for many Witches our glasses are purely Daily Mantra
functional without the slightest implication for our magickal
lives. We have forgotten that a Witches eyes are innately I open myself up to the Wisdom of

… for many Witches our glasses are purely functional without the slightest implication for our
magickal lives.
Since each of these mystical faculties are
directly influenced by the lunar tides, one may
consider charging their eyeglasses—whether
prescription or for reading—by washing the
frames and lenses with Moon Water. To avoid
smudges and water spots, this should be
followed up with lens cleaner. Of course, to
augment these lunar energies one may add a
psychically charged moonstone or some other
crystal—depending upon the desire—to their
lens cleaning solution. The same technique
may be used to protect one’s computer during
Mercury retrograde by choosing other crystals
allied with overcoming obstacles and Mercury
retrograde in general. Prior to bedtime, one
may also lay their eyeglasses gently atop a
platter of smooth, tumbled crystals—so as to
and avoid scratching the lenses—since their
eyeglasses will absorb these occult energies, as
well as recharge their glasses in the process.
Using these techniques, there are a variety
aims one can achieve by psychically charging
their eyeglasses. This can range from
enhancing a curse or a love spell, to seeing
one’s inner beauty and boosting one’s self-
esteem. In fact, during the Victorian Era,
rose-tinted mirror glass was believed to
enhance one’s appeal to others and the phrase
“to see through rose-tinted glasses” implies
having a positive outlook on life when
confronted by toxic individuals—such as
psychic vampires—or when one is suffering
from occasional depression, a broken heart, or
social anxiety.
When properly charged, our eyeglasses can
also assist us when performing acts of
divination (e.g., tarot readings and runes)…

…in addition to seeing auras, the faeries, and
ghosts, especially during paranormal invest-
igations.
Other than crystals, one may wash their
eyeglasses with a strained clary sage infusion of
Moon Water or construct a mojo bag with clary
sage leaves to leave alongside one’s eyeglasses
when placed on the nightstand along with any
crystals to charge when we are slumbering. This
herb and allied crystals can assist us by clearing
our spiritual sight when we need to see through
glamours, traps, scams and deceit.
