50 No-Supply Spells: Magic Without Buying Anything

Let's be honest: you're not dropping $200 at a metaphysical shop before you can cast your first spell.
You're not ordering crystals from Etsy, waiting three weeks for shipping, and then finally starting your practice.
You don't have a Pinterest-perfect altar with brass bowls, silk altar cloths, and a collection of vintage ritual tools.
And honestly? You probably don't even have space for all that stuff.
Here's what WitchTok won't tell you:
You don't need to buy a single thing to practice magic.
You don't need the perfect supplies, the "right" tools, or a fully stocked witchy pantry.
You don't need to wait until you can afford crystals, candles, or incense.
You don't need anything you don't already have in your house right now.
Magic isn't in the stuff. It's in the intention, the focus, the deliberate act of changing your internal state to change your external reality.
That's it. That's magic.
Everything else? Optional aesthetic choices.

The "But I Need Supplies" Myth
Here's the truth: capitalism loves telling witches they need more stuff.
Buy this crystal. Buy this candle. Buy this $45 herb bundle. Buy this altar cloth. Buy this book. Buy this course.
And listen—there's nothing wrong with collecting beautiful tools if that brings you joy and you have the money and space.
But here's what no one mentions:
The most powerful spells are the ones you can do with nothing but your focus and intention.
Your mind is the tool.
Your breath is the power source.
Your words (spoken or thought) are the incantation.
Your body is the altar.
Everything else is just set dressing.
The witches who came before us—the ones practicing in secret, the ones who were poor, the ones who had to hide—they didn't have metaphysical shops. They used what they had.
They made magic with everyday items, mundane moments, and sheer fucking willpower.
You can too.

Why This List?
Because you shouldn't have to wait to start practicing.
Because magic should be accessible to everyone, regardless of budget.
Because you're busy, you're broke (or at least budget-conscious), and you need spells that work now with what you have now.
This list assumes you have:
Your body (breath, voice, hands)
Access to water (tap water counts)
Basic kitchen staples (salt, maybe some herbs for cooking)
The ability to focus your attention for 30 seconds to 5 minutes
Zero dollars to spend on supplies
That's it.
No candles required. No crystals. No incense. No fancy tools.
Just you, your intention, and the knowledge that you're powerful enough on your own.
