Music Magick
adapted from Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practioner
A form of magick that isn't pursued by many is music magick. Music is known, by many Wiccans and non-Wiccans alike, to rouse energy and stimulate emotions. It seems to be common amongst many to play prerecorded music in the background during ritual to help set the mood. However, it's not as common for music to be played during ritual as part of the ritual itself. Some Wiccans may set chants and invocations to music, or even sing them. The following are brief descriptions of musical instruments and their magickal uses.
Percussion Instruments
Instruments such as drums, rattles, and xylophone are sacred to Earth. They can be used to invoke the Goddess. Percussion instruments can be used in spells for fertility, money, finding a job, sending energy to the Earth, etc.
Wind Instruments
Instruments such as the flute and recorder are sacred to Air. They can be used to invoke the God. Wind instruments can be used in spells to increase mental powers or visualization abilities, discover ancient wisdom or knowledge, improve psychic faculties, etc.
String Instruments
Instruments such as the lyre, harp, guitar, and ukulele are sacred to Fire. They can be used to invoke the God. String instruments can be used in spells for sexuality, health and bodily strength, passion and will power, change, evolution, courage, ridding oneself of harmful habits, etc. They are also good to use to purify an area.
Resonant Metal Instruments
Instruments such as cymbals, sistrums, bells, and gongs are sacred to Water. They can be used to invoke the Goddess. Resonant metal instruments can be used in spells for healing, fertility, friendship, psychic powers, spiritual love, beauty, compassion, happiness, etc.
