Natural magic: Make your wishes come true with a tree spell
Natural magic is simple and straightforward “magic” that can be performed by anyone. This kind of natural magic is based on the fact that both the earth itself and you and I are already magical sources of power, without any other complications.
First, it is important to talk to the trees with which you practice nature magic. Describe to the tree in detail what your need is, where the need arose and how urgent the matter is. A tree is a living thing, even though it communicates on subtler levels of consciousness.
Make a tree spell like this:
- Equip yourself with paper, a large leaf, a stick with a charred end, a string made of natural fiber and a coin.
- Find a suitable tree (Use your intuition!)
- Sit under a tree and write or draw a symbol describing your need with the charred end of a stick on the paper you have with you.
- Get up, walk nine times around the tree in a clockwise direction, saying and repeating the following (or similar) words: “O ancient earth, older than time, give me your power, to strengthen this magic”
- Then tie the leaf either around the tree trunk or branch with a string as tightly as possible.
- After that, bury the coin you brought with you in the ground at the foot of the tree, thank the tree for the help you received and leave the tree to do its job.
If the leaf is gone the next time you go to the tree, don’t worry. The tree has already started making your wish come true.

The Forest Listens — The Karelian Lament Tradition
There are things that are hard to say out loud. Grief that doesn’t fit into words. Exhaustion too deep to explain. Feelings that circle inside us with nowhere to go.
Throughout human history, people have taken these things into nature. Not because nature provides answers. But because it receives. Quietly, without judgement, without advice.
The Power of Words: The Finnish Tietäjä Tradition
Have you ever noticed how certain words, when spoken with intention, seem to carry weight? How a whispered blessing can calm a crying child, or how the right phrase at the right moment can shift an entire day? The old Finnish shamans – the tietäjät – knew this intimately. They were called “the knowing ones” not because they possessed secret knowledge, but because they understood something profound: words, when combined with rhythm and intention, become medicine.

Forest Spirits and How to Call Them
There’s something you should know about us Finns: we never quite stopped believing in magic. Oh, we’ll talk about technology and modern life like anyone else, but scratch the surface and you’ll find we still leave porridge for the house spirits at Christmas, still feel a shiver when walking past certain stones in the forest, and still – perhaps unconsciously – drum in rhythms our great-grandmothers would recognise. You see, when over 70% of your country remains forested and your ancestors spent thousands of years in intimate conversation with the spirits dwelling within those woods, that kind of connection doesn’t simply disappear because someone invented the mobile phone.
The Sacred Rhythms of Sápmi
In the vast wilderness of Finnish Lapland, where the aurora borealis dances across endless skies and reindeer migrations have carved pathways through time itself, the haunting resonance of traditional Sami drums once guided shamans between worlds. Today, contemporary craftspeople are breathing new life into this ancient tradition, creating instruments that honour the past whilst speaking to modern souls seeking connection with something deeper than themselves.
