Sound can be a powerful element to incorporate in a spell.

Incorporating a recorded song is a more complicated proposition than incorporating a sound that you generate. Music and songs are audible sigils. They hold great energy and emotion.

Research the history of a song before using it in your magical work. Avoid using songs with negative meanings and negative histories. Take the history of the musicians and the singers into consideration. 

Also research the meaning of the lyrics. There are many websites with resources (wikipedia is a good place to start). The song should be a theme that suits the magick you want to perform.

A song that has a significant emotional connection to you is the right choice.

A powerful personal connection supercedes any other history of the song (like the first song you danced to at your wedding or your all time favorite song) .

Music is a good tool for putting yourself in a desired mental state.

An ipod can be a great tool to give yourself a sense of isolation when you are working magick in a public area. You could charge your ipod to work as a portable protective circle.

The choice of the media adds to the power of the song. For instance, listen to a tape that you've had since you were little. After a hundred listens, the tape became imprinted with energy from you. You can remember when you bought it, back when record stores sold tapes.


Sound is a great magical tool. The instrument or media of the music can be an amulet for you. It might be hard to think of a cassette tape as an amulet but remember the amulet has power if it has power for you.
