Object Links

Hopefully if you’re reading this, you already know that particularly in Spellwork, you need items relating to your target – object links – to direct the energies etc to your target during your operations.

Object links should relate to your target. Obviously. You cannot use something that is unrelated to your target.

Keeping in mind that the item(s) used should be related to your target to properly direct the energies involved and to effectively represent your target, the most potent and effective items to use for this purpose are items directly from the target themselves. The closer to the body of the person, the better.

So then, the most potent object links would be from the person’s own body – blood, hair, skin, nails…and depending on the operation, even spit, urine and faeces. In short – anything that comes from the target’s body directly.

Next in line are items belonging to the target – especially what they use frequently or that has been in direct contact with them. Clothing, underwear, jewellery, blankets, hair ties, toothbrushes etc all fall under this. The more important the item is to the person, the better.

Next are items that belongs to the target, but which they use infrequently such as furniture pieces, cutlery, keys. Anything – as long as the person owns it and it is theirs. What also falls under this are items that a person recently used, such as tissues, straws, cups and so on, even if the item does not directly belong to the person. Let’s call this “contact items”.

Next are items that depicts the person, such as photos.

Lastly are items that refers to the person, such as names, dates of birth, parent names, address etc.

So, the hierarchy of potency would be as follows:

Body > Personal Belongings > Ambient Belongings > Depictions > References

If you’re experienced enough, then something as simple as a reference to your target, even a nickname, can be just as potent as items directly from the target’s body, such as blood. This, however, is not recommended for novices as you need the know-how, skill and experience to facilitate this.

Although items directly from the target is the most powerful in operations, this does not lessen other object links – depending on the operation, if Spirits are used, the skill of the practitioner etc. After all, the success or failure of an operation does not depend solely on the potency of the object link.
