Understanding the Three-Fold Law of Return in Magic

While some may view the Three-Fold Law of Return as a threat or a warning, I prefer to see it as encouragement.  Every time we choose to invest our time, focus, and energy into something positive, the universe multiplies that effort and brings more of it our way. It’s like planting a single seed and later finding an entire garden blooming at your feet.

If we choose to cast a spell, the energy we send out never really disappears. It doesn’t fade into the distance or vanish once our spell is complete—it circles back to us, often in ways far better (and far more surprising) than we expected. This is the essence of the “three-fold return,” or “Law of Three” and it’s an amazing benefit when we are practicing magic with a clear heart and good intentions.

However, it’s important to understand that when we cast a spell, we’re working with the natural energies within and around us — not trying to control them, but inviting them to flow in the direction we choose. And when we invest our energy wisely, that flow becomes a powerful, uplifting force in our life.

Let’s talk about how that actually looks.

Embracing Diversity & Building a Magical Community

Imagine what our magical community could look like if everyone felt welcomed, understood, and free to follow the path that speaks to their soul. Over my years of writing about the craft, I’ve seen again and again how often the topics of unity, acceptance, and understanding come up—especially as more people with different backgrounds and beliefs find their way into our circles.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood or a bit like an outsider, you’re definitely not alone. Today, our community is wonderfully varied. We have solitary practitioners, coven leaders, eclectic witches, traditionalists, those who blend old and new practices, and even Christian Witches who walk between two spiritual worlds. This diversity is beautiful—but it can also bring challenges. Sometimes we forget that, at the heart of it all, every path shares the same roots: a desire for connection, magic, and meaning.

Everyday Rituals for Connecting with Nature Spirits

Part 3 of Whispering With Nature Spirits

“…that most precious gift of your Earthly Mother is the grass beneath your feet, even that grass which you tread upon without thought. Humble and meek is this messenger of Earth, for she has no wings to fly, nor golden rays of light to pierce the mist. But great is her strength and vast is her domain, for she covers the earth with her power…” Essene Gospel of Peace

Building a relationship with nature spirits doesn’t require a deep forest or an elaborate altar. These quiet companions can be honored in the small, mindful moments woven through your daily life. Here are just a few examples:

Morning Grounding: Stepping outside in the morning is a common practice, but too often we are in a rush to get somewhere and we don’t stop to appreciate our surroundings. Slow down for just a moment to stand barefoot on the earth or grass. Breathe deeply and imagine roots growing from your feet into the soil, connecting you to the vast network of life below. Offer a silent “good morning” to the spirits who dwell there. This helps remind you that you are a part of this vast network and you don’t have to tackle what the day will bring on your own.

Magical Practices for Everyday Balance

How can you bring more harmony with nature into your daily life? Here are a few simple, magical practices to consider:

  • Morning Grounding: Begin each day with a moment outdoors. Stand barefoot on the earth, breathe deeply, and offer gratitude to the land beneath you.
  • Seasonal Altars: Decorate your altar with fallen leaves, acorns, or stones to honor the spirit of autumn. Let your altar change with the seasons as a reflection of nature’s cycles.
  • Herbal Blessings: Brew a cup of herbal tea using seasonal herbs like sage, rosemary, or apple. As you sip, focus on the healing energy of the plants and the earth that nurtured them.
  • Ritual Walks: Take a mindful walk in your neighborhood or a nearby park. Notice the colors, scents, and sounds. Collect a small natural token to bring home as a reminder of your connection.

Each of these practices helps nurture your magical energy. Do you have a favorite way to connect with nature that keeps you attuned to the wisdom of the Old Ways?

Clearing, Charging & Dressing Candles for Rituals & Spells

If your livelihood depends on the condition of your tools, you probably do your best to keep them clean, well oiled and ready to use. After all, trying to build something with a power saw that has not been charged will not get you far. Nor will you get very far if you are using magical tools that have not been properly cared for.

Who Should We Be Giving Thanks to?

Growing up, I was taught to give thanks to God for the food food I ate.  We were told to thank the creator, not the creation, for the gifts we received. That sounded logical, except that Mother Earth was considered a creation of the Divine and not really Divine herself.

I believe with all my heart that the Divine or Universal energy is in ALL things.  When we express thanks, it should not matter what aspect of the One we are communicating with. The gratitude is sent forth into the Universe and acknowledged.
