101: Visualization of Higher Self Assistance

Visualization of High Self Assistance

Another visualization that you can apply is the one that follows, which also brings your Higher Self to assist you. Use only if you do not want to run into ill intentioned folk.

1. Sit in a comfortable position with your spine straight. Keep still and clear your mind of all thoughts. Breathe in deeply and imagine a ray of white light entering the top of your head. Breathe out slowly.
2. See this light now surrounding your entire body and a second ray of light originating from your heart region. This 2nd ray merges with the first light and completely surrounds your body.
3. Accept the presence of this protective light. Try not to think about it, just focus on your breathing and presence of the light.
4. Say to yourself out loud "I am completely protected and balanced with these rays. Only my master, my guides, my higher self and beings that mean well can influence me now".
5. "The light energy becomes a part of my consciousness and protects me" (breathe in)
7. As you exhale say "I am merging with my Higher self, and my soul's energy is protected"
8. This should be practiced for 15 miutews. Make a tape of new age, world, or meditational music for the backgrand

101:Complicated Tips on Protection

Due to some recent attacks in the past week in the astral, and becoming physical with results, I wanted to offer some advice on protection.

We're all fairly proficient with magick, with varying levels of skill and knowledge. There's some tips we can offer each other for tricks we may not always know. This deals with a latest incident, and one I noticed not everyone is necessarily familiar with, when it comes to certain demons.

There is a certain demon, more of a servant type, that weakens their victim. They look like a giant eyeball (sometimes twisted) with tentacles or "lashers" (based on interpretation). The poison they deliver is astral in nature, but can affect the physical person. This poison is a mixture of Chaos, Darkness, and some Hate.

Best protection from them is familiarity with more than the 5 Elements many of us are stuck on. Expand to the Twelve elements:

-Air
-Earth
-Fire
-Water
-Love
-Hate
-Chaos
-Tranquility
-Time
-Space
-Light
-Darkness

Many barriers we make have trace amounts of other elements in them, which includes any of the Twelve..but strengthening our knowledge and familiarity in these can help in those dire situations. Look into them, feel them, know them..even the impossible. We know them, and intimacy in this knowledge will make you a stronger practitioner.

Try this Ward: Tranquility base with Earth links, Fire stabilizer and Water backing, Chaos threads, then air support to you for mobility.

Cloak: Light base, air insulation, fire treads and water film. Then use a touch of darkness to hide from the negativity or harm directed at you or used to find you (even in association).

Barrier: Earth base, Dark supports. Space barrier on base, Time coating with a touch of Chaos for support to the coating, Fire walls, and water shielding.

Complicated and confusing as hell but when you think about it..different combinations and knowing your protection can save time, pain, and downright pissing you off.

101: Various Protective Spells

A "KITCHEN WITCH" REVERSING SPELL

You want to get three red candles, and (if possible) 1 black

candle. (if you can't get a black candle without raising

eyebrows, go ahead and get a brand new black permanent

marker. Do not use this marker for anything else but this

type of spell if you can help it.)

Also, if you have access to any essential oils, get some rue

oil or get hold of some bulk rue ... and a small bottle of

olive oil.

A small candle holder and a clean piece of paper and a red

pen to write with are the next things.(again, a new pen if

possible, saving it for this type of spell. A good thing to

do is to get a variety of colored pens to save for doing

specific spells.)

Melt the black wax of the candle in a double boiler and dip

the lower half of the red candles in it, making the black

wax coat the bottom half. Or, if you must, cover the lower

half of the red candles with the black magic marker.

On a night where you can block everyone out for a while,

take a bath with either sea salt or regular salt (1 tsp is

enough) and a bit of rue oil or rue (cut or ground, doesn't

matter). Do not towel dry yourself, go ahead and air dry.

(You can wear whatever you normally wear to do spells, but

you definitely want to air dry.)

Then, get out the rue oil or, in a small bowl, mix 3

tablespoons of ground or cut rue and 1 1/2 tablespoons of

olive oil. Coat one candle with the oil or oil-herb mixture,

anointing from the middle out, going counter clockwise. Do

the bottom half first, then the top. You'll be doing this

spell over three consecutive nights, so save the rest of the

candles and the oil in a safe place.

On the piece of paper, write down what you'd like to see

reversed from you; i.e. bad luck in love, financial

problems, trouble from an enemy, inability to find what you

need in your life, etc. Get thoughtful and make sure it's

something you really want to send away.

Place the piece of paper under the candle holder (it would

probably be smart to put this in a pie plate or some other

fireproof container), charge the candle with your desire to

see these things or trends gone, and light the candle, using

a lighter only (no matches).

Do this again for the next two nights, and once you're done,

burn the piece of paper, seeing your life as if a weight

lifted from it.

If there's any leftover wax, collect it in a brown paper bag

and bury that someplace far from you, or throw in a trash

can across town! Then forget about it, don't worry over it,

just know it worked. You can do this whenever you feel the things in your

life are not going the direction you'd wish, and different candle colors can

be used for specific reversals. This is for general, overall reversals.

====================================

Breaking a Spell cast on YOU!

Ingredients

White Candle

Candle holder

Cauldron

Water

Lighter or matches

Procedure

Get a white candle and place it in a holder. Place the holder in the middle

of your cauldron. Fill the cauldron with water so that the candle extends

above the rim of the cauldron and above the water.

Light the candle and visualize the spell being broken. As soon as the flame

burns down and touches the water, it will go out.

Dig a hole in the earth and pour the in the rest of the water and

bury the candle. So Shall It Be!

================================================

Reverse a Spell

This is to be used to reverse a spell cast upon a person, and return

the spell upon the one who cast it. WARNING: Because of the Law of

Threes, depending on the strength of the cast spell, this could cause

great harm to the original spell-caster. This should only be used in

dire need. You will need a cast iron cauldron, a pile of oak wood, some

mistletoe herb, water and 2 - 5 pounds of salt. Collect the hair, nail

clippings, handwriting sample or anything of the person upon whom the

spell was cast. Consecrate the ground and cover it with a layer of salt to

prevent evil from interfering. Pile the Oak wood and light it. Place what

ever was collected from the person into water in the cauldron and boil. Add

mistletoe and perform an incantation. The spell is reversed.

As with any spell work, it were best to perform the spell inside a

Cast circle for protection.

===================================

Tools.

A White candle for purity and love.

A Red candle for strength and health.

1 Black candle to absorb evil (use a small one).

it representing the subject, e.g. zodiac sign and birth date -Maybe a

photo-copy photo of him/her /them to place under the candle.

Anointing oil with purifying and sanitizing properties e.g. 10 drops

lemon, lemon verbena. Citrus or lemongrass, and 10 drops sandalwood.

Method.

Anoint and dress all candles, working to middle from top and

bottom for each one, visualizing the purpose of each one.

Set up subject's candle with God and Goddess candle on either side. Light

them and say:

"This is _____ who has been cursed and burdened with evil fortune. May the

God and Goddess come to his/her aid."

Now set up the white candles around these, light them and say:

"This is the circle of purity and love, surrounding _____ to dispel

the misfortune and turn away all evil, to wrap _____ in protective love and

keep him/her safe"

Visualize the white light about the subject. Set up the red candles around

the circle of white ones, light them and say:

"This is the circle of strength around _____ to act as a strong

barrier against evil and to send back all mischief to its source, with

understanding; and to bring _____ back to full spiritual health."

Visualize the red light about you. Finally put the black candle next to the

subject's candle, light and say:

"This is the candle of absorption. Let all evil, misfortune and

wickedness, all curses begone from _____ into this instrument of the Gods."

Visualize all evil leaving the subject as a murky cloud, leaving the

Subject clear, and see the murk being absorbed in the black candle.

Then withdraw the black candle through the flames of each white and red

candle in turn. As it burns down outside the double circle of red and white

candles, chant softly but ever faster, and gradually ever louder:

"All evil misfortune begone, be ended!

Let the curse cease, and _____ mended."

feelings of being attacked within a week . - can't say the same for whomever

is doing this to you though!

==================================

Medieval Ritual For Reversing A Candle Spell

Do this five nights in a row, at dusk, as th sun dies, and the

darkness descends. Light 2 black candles, and as they burn, speak

this invocation:

"In the name of the Gods and all ye Spirits, In the name of

Kernunnos, and the light, and the dark, and the Gods of the

Netherworld. Remove thy curse and sting from my heart and mine. And

whosoever shall be casting a curse against me, let he/she suffer

their own curse. Let these candles, be their candles, this burning

be their burning, this curse be their curse. Let the pain they have

cause me and mine, fall upon themselves."

The two candles are completely burned each night

==========================

TO REVERSE A CURSE

Make a circle(s) of salt and the herb, rue (or add or substitute

rosemary, (dried is OK ) and or garlic and salt

Into a black candle carve your name and trace over with your spit

(lick your thumb)- This charges the candle with your own personal power to

make it a tool for magick

Expose the wick at the bottom of the candle using a knife, stand

upside down in a candle holder and light the exposed wick. As it burns say:

"I reverse the blight upon me and

All power is now mine

I free myself from the bondage of hatred

The curse is lifted my life is sacred."

Keep the candle burning upside down until there is no more - the

curse will be lifted.

========================================

TO STOP A PERSON CAUSING HARM TO YOU

White candle

Favorite incense

Brown paper Lead pencil

Spoonful of used coffee grounds

Light a white candle and your favorite incense. Meditate a short

while on the problem. Invoke the Spirits of Protection. Take a piece

of brown paper, like from a grocery bag, on it use a lead pencil to

print and write the name of the offending person or people. If

unknown people are involved, also print and write, `and all persons

unknown that are causing harm to me!' Cross off each line forcefully

and say, forcefully:

"I freeze name(s) to be bound by this spell, unable to cause any

more harm to (name(s)! As I will, so mote it be!"

Put a spoonful of used coffee grounds on the brown paper, fold it

small, and place it in the freezer. Leave it until the problem is

completely resolved. Wrap a rubber band, string, twist tie, or what

have you, to keep the coffee grounds from falling out of the paper.

You can also use a zip lock bag. Be sure and burn the candle

completely up. Don't use that candle for a different purpose.

==========================================

Warrior's (Soldier's) Spell

During the third or tenth hour after sunset, take one mandrake or bronze fennel root, and pass it through incense smoke and a candle flame. Then sprinkle with water and salt, saying:

"I consecrate this root by the powers of the elementals

that it may be cleansed and purified to aid in my work."

Set the root on a pentacle, saying:

"Little man, listen to me.

I'll dress thee and keep thee in my company,

that thou turn aside harm from my fighting man,

that he return safely as soon as he can."

Wrap the root in red cotton yarn. Raise energy and direct it into the rootman, saying:

"In the eye of Mars, by the fires of fury,

let my warrior be steadfast, safe-kept, and victorious."

Wrap the root in a red cloth and hide in a safe place. Keep it there until the warrior(Soldier) returns, then unbind the root and bury it.

====================================

The Shield of Isis is a simple, fast invocation to call upon the protection of Isis. It is very specific in its use, and very potent in its results. Here's how to use it.

When confronted with a fearful situation, say to yourself

"I need the Shield of Isis".

A fearful situation can be anything that causes you legitimate anxiety at that moment; this is NOT a general protection rite. It is intended for emergencies or situations that seem potentially dangerous. It is also acceptable to use it in situations where you feel as if your environment is out of control, or that the energy or "vibe" is just not good.

After you have said the words "I need the Shield of Isis", if the shield is truly necessary, you will feel that it has "clicked in". From that moment on, be very alert to your inner voice.

You may receive a clear instruction, such as "Before entering the intersection, look both ways" or something equally mundane.

Listen and ACT on the information you are given.

When the dangerous situation or fearful feeling has passed, say "Thank you." out loud.

101: Shields, Cloaks, and Wards

The first thing you have to learn is that you must believe and have self confidence. If you don't believe that magic gives you the power to reshape the universe, you're wasting your time. If you believe a spell or ritual won't work, it won't. And if you do believe in the power of magic, then you need to realize that when you use it you are putting your hands on the same forces that move the tides and spawn tornadoes. And that by doing so, you have the potential to harm yourself or others.

Here are a few basic techniques for protecting yourself and your home. They are also useful anytime. For example, there's no better night's sleep than in a room that's been magically shielded to keep out psychic noise.

Cloaking:

The word cloaking is very useful in learning the technique. If you want to cloak your aura, yourself entirely, or a specific part about yourself, simply visualize a cloak or something similar molded around what your trying to hide...sometimes you can do this by enchanting an object that you are wearing. If you are trying to hide yourself, then it's helpful not to make eyecontact with the things you are trying to hide from. Blend into the darkness, and walk softly. It's possible to cloak cars, which can be helpful when traveling, but do not cloak it so much that other cars do not see you and run into you. While enchanting it, only cloak it from 'enemies', or so on.

Shielding:

This is a technique for creating a magical 'force field' around your person or a place, to keep out unwanted energy. This could be psychic 'background noise', nasty astral critters, or magical energy directed at you. Many people do this unconsciously all their lives. Others of us have to learn how. The method I use is to visualize a black 'force field' of energy around the area to be shielded. Some find it helpful to actually visualize an actual sheild. Remember to 'see' it in 3D, a sphere rather than a circle. (This is where those visualization exercises come into practical use.) I generally use my personal energy to power it, but it is possible to use any element. Earth is extremely useful in this. I visualize negative energy being absorbed by my shields, bouncing off, and flowing into the earth. ("Ground and Center" here.) I visualize it as porous, though, so that energy I send can pass through. With practice, you will be able to shield yourself instantly, without thinking.

When shielding your skin, you can visualize your skin forming into scales, or even armour. The more energy and focus you put in these things, the more powerful they are.

I have found that exhaustion, alcohol, sickness, or depression quickly erode my ability to shield, so keep this in mind. Once you have shields, there is lots of nifty magic you can do with them. You can turn cause the shields to reverse magic/energy back at people. You can set up traps. You can cause your attacker to become confused when he attacks, the list goes on and on.

Warding:

This is a similar technique. I define a Ward as a Shield anchored to a physical place. Instead of using your energy, though, you let Earth energy flow upward to power it, though most elements can be used if you know how. With practice, you can create a stable, Earth-powered shield. This leaves more energy for spell work, or allows you to drop your own shields and recharge. Reinforce the visualization regularly, and it can be permanent, to protect your Circle, home, or camp. Some tend to anchor wards with physical objects-a stone, carved runes, etc. But it is the visualization that really matters. If the mental image fails, the shield will fail, no matter how many runes you carve.

Quote:

Occasionally, when going about my daily life, I will feel a 'tickle' at my aura as some kind of psychic energy contacts it. Other times, the hair stands up on the back of my neck, and I quickly raise my shields. And on rarer occasions, I feel a sudden energy drain as my shields go from standby to maximum power before I know what's happened. In these situations there are a few shielding tricks I use. First is the mirror. I visualize the outside of my shields as a perfect mirror, reflecting any energy back to it's source. Next is making the inside of my shields a mirror. I use this to contain any psychic energy I might be emitting, hopefully making myself psychically 'stealthy'. Last is the 'iron wall' or 'stone tower' visualization, changing the thin energy shield into a massive fortress. This requires a lot of power, but when huge waves of negativity are breaking over you, it really helps.

Unfortunetly, there is only so much can be done on the defensive end, especially with us.

Now on to a few active techniques. If negative energy keeps coming at me, I don't sit back and continue to shield until exhausted. Any purely defensive battle is doomed, if it goes on long enough. This is the time where you should turn the defense into offense, which will be another post all together.

But, you can also invoke your deities, your animal spirits, your protection/guides, ect and so forth...when I say invoke, I mean 'invoke the power of', but you can also channel them if you feel it will help.

Malevolent entities (whether astral or earthly) tend to avoid the presence of the Deity. In fact, the nastier they are, the faster they sometimes run. But like most kids, I don't like bothering Mom and Dad all the time with small problems I've been taught to handle myself. We all need to learn to fight our own fights without calling help.

A basic technique is calling 'White Fire.' This is the Light energy of the universe, the silver-white of the Moon and the fire-white of the Sun, the sum total of the magical Elements. Let it flow in from all around you until you feel like a ball of lightning, then send a directed bolt of it back in the direction the negative energy came from. While the mind alone is all you need to do this, I find a sword/athame or a staff or wand are perfect tools to direct your energy through. If this doesn't work, you can still call on the Gods and Goddesses in their warrior/protector aspects to help you.

101: Symptoms of Psychic Attack

Writen by Christpher Penczak in "The Witches Shield", and edited by me.

Potential symptoms of psychic or magickal harm from another, interitionally or otherwise, include the following:

A feeling that you are being watched by something creepy, unfriendly, or malevolent, particularly during a time of quiet reflection alone or when doing any spiritual work.

A sense of heaviness or pressure, as if something were sitting on your chest or shoulders. This physical presence may be acompanied by a sense of cold or heat manifesting as a sudden change in otherwise normal temperatures, without a porper whether change in the environment to support such teperature shift.

Hearing voices of malevolent nature. Usually these are "psychic voices" heard in the mind, but at times they feel so real they seem audible. Sometimes more than one person in the same vicitnity can hear them at the same time. However, if this occurs frequently enough and no amount of magical protection gets rid of it, it might be a good idea to see a doctor for any possible mental problems.

Unusual psychic manifestations of fearful things. These manifestations can occur as obsessive thoughts of accidents or attacks, when you are not normally prone to obsessive thinking. Manifestations can also include visions. Some visions occur as brief but disturbing glimpses in day to day waking life. Others appear in full detail during meditations and rituals, interrupting your spiritual work. However, these may also be warnings of actual things to come, rather than someone specifically targeting you, especially if your clairvoyant abilities are higher than the average persons.

Vidid, recurring nightmares. Often, the images are of things that are generally considered fearsome, but are not necessarily your personal fears and phobias.

A sharp, stabbing pain in the body. Such pain usually manifests itself as a headache, and sometimes marks can appear on your body. Traditionally it is said to occur when the antagonith's name is mentioned in the presence of the target for pyshic attack, or when the target thinks about the antagonist. This is often felt as a strong headache at the third eye, whitout explination, or as a sharp pain where the skull and neck meet. Pains could also be located at the chakra points.

A slow and steady drain on your personal energy. Such drains can affect your work and personal life, as well as your established magickal abilities and talents. Your intuition and ability to use energy and magick can diminish. This is usually accompanied by intense feelings of cold when you are not normally being prone to being cold.

An experience of psychic loss or entrampent. In certain traditions, harmful practicioners curse you by trapping a portion of your energy body and preventing it from returning to your body. Some consider this portion to be a part of your soul. You do not lose your soul itself, but what is considered a fragment or shard of your soul, in shamanic traditions.

Traumatic expereiences can cause parts of our energy to fragment. If we do not heal and rest to integrate them, the trauma can cause them to leave our proximity and hide in the other worlds for safety. Healing, either of a shamanic, or traditional nature, can usually coax these parts back to us, unless they are purposely blocked by another.

In the Voodoo traditions, harmful practitioners are said to grab your 'ti bon ange' or "little angel", also refered to as the astral body, which travels as most sleep or intentionally project. THey use spells to trap this little self in hpe of exerting influence over the person in the waking world. Symptoms of this experience include a feeling of loss, a loss of power, purpose, or self-indenity, a lack of will; a lack of interest in life or a walking-zombie like attitude; or going through the motions of life, but never fully participating. Other healers call this ghost-walking, and it can occur either through harmful magic or naturally through trauma or illness.

Losing many personal objects of importance when you are not naturally prone to misplace things or don't have some sort of karmic debt to repay.

Suddenly becoming accident-prone when you are normally graceful. Accidents may cause you to break precious objects or injure yourself or others, from bumps and bruises to some severe injuries.

A sudden and unexpected illness when no other causes or the illness are apparent. If you are a witch or mythic in touch with your body, do a deep meditation and scan to determine the source of the illness and the message your body is giving you. If you can't find the cuase, this can be a potential symptom of psychic attack.

In many folk magick traditions, practitioners of harmful magick would curse an entire family. Usually the weakest member of the family, the baby is most susceptible to harmful energy of the curse and will experience an extended bout of colic that is not cured by traditional methods. (Side Note: I don't agree with this, I have found that babies and children are more protected by spiritual guides and guardian angels than adults are).

In many indigenous traditions of healing, it is believed that many illnesses are caused by a source of harmful energy outside the afflicted. If someone wishes you ill will, even unconsciously, in can manifest as illness or injury. Breaking the energy of ill will or banishing the spirit of sickness can heal the illness.

A long chain of events that can only be categorized as BAD LUCK, particulary in financial, personal, or romantic affaris of life (But you have to consider if your actions have caused this, or you have karma kicking you in the ass). Again, as we look at illness as a potential symptom of psychic attack you must be introspective to find the root of your bad luck. Often we create the circumstances of our situation, and can not blame them on other people wishing us ill. Just as illness can be a sign from our body and spirit telling us to find balance and healing, experiences with unfortunate circumstances can guide us to a life in greater harmony

Any of the previous symptoms manifesting after recieving a strange, unexpected or unwanted gift from either a strange or from someone you suspect means you harm, physically, mentally, or spiritually. Practicitioners of harmful magick can often link their curses and spells to ojbjects and transfer their harm through the object.

You or someone around you notices you are acting very out of the ordinary, doing things you don't quite agree with or don't make any sense. Someone or something could be influencing you or controling you. In these times you will feel a sense of loss, numbing to things around you that normally interest you, and a sort of emptiness that can not be explained.

An experience of partial of full posession. Possession is when the malevolent spirit, often refered to as a demon or devil(bias, lol), attempts to control a physical body. Partial posession creates the feeling that something foreign is attempting to take you over or that you are simply not "alone" inside your body. Full possession ranges from the feeling that you have lost motor control of your body or that someone else has motor control of you, to the classic stereotypical images of poession with speaking in malevolent voices and foreign languages, pyshical contortions, and feats of strength. Sometimes these possessions will give you long periods of loss of memory, or as if you are asleep. It is important to note that true, full possession is the least fequent occurence of those listed.(However, it happens more often in the Omni, it seems, though still most of the time it's partial possession, or control/influence as listed just before).

When you break harmful energetic links, you should feel a fairly immediate sense of relief from these symptoms. The symptoms of psychic attack can mainfest very quickly and leave just as quickly.

101: Drawing Spirits into Crystals

I have used this method for many years, though it will be difficult to explain how it is done. It's really not that complicated, as long as you understand the fundementals of magic and vizualization. It was performed in my presence first, while I was invoking a helpful spirit, in order to assist in banishing a spirit from the body of a friend. We were in my bedroom and the possessed individual was in sitting on the floor in front of me, and I invoked "Dretzel". She sat up straight and held up her hand about half a foot under neith my chin. Not a moment later did the quartz crystal on my necklace fall right off and into the palm of my hand. She, or I should say, We went straight into action and nearly sat on top of my friend. (Keep in mind, the spirit that was possessing her was not being violent, but none the less, refusing to leave the body). She took the quartz, and held it on her forehead. I remember visualizing the crystal penetrating her third eye, and into her consciousness. The vibrations of the crystal seem to be feeling around for what was not suppose to be there...the energies that felt almost...sick and twisted. When it recognized what it was looking for, it sort of locked in on the intruding presence, and with all my strength I pulled, or sucked it out, and locked it in the crystal. Once I realized all of the alien spirit was inside the crystal, I sat it down on the ground in front of me and wrapped energies around it...layering and layering it with what I visualized it as gray energy, blocking it's escape. And then I wrapped it in a black cloth and put shields filled with reflecting energies into it. In otherwords, the harder the spirit tried to leave the crystal, the more it would drain itself. But this is a temporary prison, until you go about finding more secure bindings to place upon the crystal and the spirit inside it.

After that? It really depends what you think should be done. If the spirit is extremely malicious and dangerous, I would generally put it inside a glass jar or bottle and bury it in a place it won't be disturbed for a long time. Don't bury it near a river or a lake. I can't count the may gates or bindings that have been disturbed due to floods in the past decade. Nothing is ever permanent. Magic can always fade, or be broken by someone or something else. This is just a simple non violent solution of getting a spirit out of your body, and giving them a little encouragement not to come back seeking you again. If you don't think the spirit deserves 'punishment', you just wanted to get rid of them, the best thing to do with the crystal is to throw it in a river or stream. Eventually the water will cleanse the crystal and release the spirit somewhere down the stream.

101: 5 Elements

Fire: Used for purification and defense, often visualized as red energy; sometimes easier to begin working with that way. I usually see a yellow-orangish colored stuff that 'feels' and looks a lot like fire, though the color red is often associated with it by traditionalists. Fire is thought to be the universal force of expansion.

Water: Healing, cleansing, regeneration, motion/movement, often visualized as blue energy. Again, blue is associated with it traditionally, but my mind represents it differently so that it looks like blue and/or clear watery stuff. Water is thought to be the universal force of contraction.

Air: Intellect; mental stuff, can be used as a force to push something away or draw it near, can also purify by blowing the dust 'out' or 'away' from something etc. (use your imagination here) Often visualized as yellow energy. I see and get more of the feeling of air or breezes when working with it, though I used the color yellow to visualize elemental air when first learning. Air is thought to be the universal force that reconciles Expansion/fire and Contraction/water.

Earth: Solidity, strength, making things permanent, some regenerative capabilities, often visualized as green energy. I think of cool, rich, earth or soil sometimes, but 'green' will work fine until you get more into various aspects of the element. Earth is thought to be the combination of Fire Air and Water, and is the universal force of solidification present in physical manifestation.

Spirit: The element of Spirit (the 5th element), often visualized as White energy (I see just a hint of ultra-violet). Spiritual energy can be used for almost anything. You'll have to work with it for a while to get a feel for it and decide how you wish to make use of it. Some people have a difficult time learning to control energy in this phase. Spirit or 'Akasha' as it is sometimes called, is thought to be the universal life principle underlying all things (the universe and everything in it is 'alive' or conscious to some degree). According to my own channeled info, Spirit is "that which permeates all things."

How to start learning to use them

The easiest way to learn to use and channel these energies is to meditate and try to feel yourself immersed in and filled with each one. If the element you wish to work with is fire, then meditate/relax, and then imagine yourself being filled with fire but not being harmed. Try to feel this strongly. 'Feeling' the physical sensation of each element with your whole body is the most important sensation here - it's not just mental visualization. Try to include smells and tastes (until you can almost smell and taste them mentally) as well as the usual mental imagery. In the case of fire, you might even pretend to inhale the fire into your body to get a good feel for it. Do this often until you can feel yourself filled with each energy type easily.

It is recommended that much time be spent meditating and balancing/purifying the self with each element. Once you are able to 'power up' with an energy, then you can begin to work with very basic methods of putting it to use. Example: If you wished to charge or purify an object or talisman with Water, you would 'power up' with or 'inhale' elemental water, and then 'exhale' or direct it at the object with the intention of either purifying or charging it with that energy type. This is the most basic method of utilizing elemental energy. Use your imagination for the rest.

Note on elemental energy

From my observation, the 4 lower elements of fire, water, air, and earth are all very much like fingers all attached to the same hand (the 'hand' being Spirit). In other words, all energy is virtually the same energy, the same light, just in different phases.

_____________________________

"The four elements of nature: Earth, Air, Fire and Water are the very foundations of creation and the basis of life itself. Ancient myths and theories tell us that Divine Beings 'Spirits' were sent to the fledgling earth (then a smoldering pot of confusion being created), to bring about order out of chaos. As the rays of their celestial bodies made contact with the crystallized influences of the lower world, they became the four elements linking humankind to nature, the heavens and the Divine. "

It is also said that from Akasha, spirit, or Ire, came the four elements. All of the 4 elements together make the spirit of Akasha. Without Akasha, there would be no life in anything. Akasha is considered the 5th element, though in truth, it would be the first. A symbol to represent all five elements, is a pentacle/pentagram, the five pointed star, with one point pointed up. The top point would be Akasha, ,making it the central element, and the rest, the four directions, earth-north, air-east, fire-south, and water-west. The color of Akasha is purple, or clear, no color. Most do not use symbols, but say all symbols represent Akasha, though one popular among those I know use an eye with a tear drop, or an egg(which is also used by others). Ancient Hindus had described Akasha as the omnipresent spiritual power that permeates the universe. Also, many among us believe that Akasha is more than just Spirit, and has a consciousness, and is Mother of the Council of 12. There are many beliefs, but most can agree that Akasha means Spirit.

------------------

Aries Energy-Dance Spell

------------------

Dance is the oldest form of ritual in the world.

The movements traced in energy-dance are acts of

sympathetic magic based on the law of attraction.

Mars, the energy planet, rules this Aries New Moon,

so now is the time to dance! To begin, wear a costume

emulating a chosen god or goddess. Set a tempo with

drums and other instruments. Wear bells and trinkets;

their rhythm leads and strengthens the drum. Sing and

chant while you dance. Shift into an altered state of

consciousness, and become entranced through movement,

singing, and drumming. Call to the spirits to give you

insight, obtain knowledge, receive vital information,

and guide the magical journey to renew your soul.

seven dried daisy petals

gold ribbon thirteen inches long with a knot tied firmly

around one iron nail on each end,

one teaspoon of fertile earth.

Seal the envelope with gold wax imprinted with your fingerprint.

On the outside of the envelope draw the astrological symbol

of Venus and the symbol of Taurus.

Hold your hands over the envelope and ask the spirit to assist

you in this situation. Be clear about your intentions and needs.

Seal the spell by kissing the envelope. Bury the envelope in your

backyard. If you live in an apartment or condominium, place the

envelope at the bottom of a flower pot and cover with potting soil.

===================

Gemini Energy Spell

You can use this magical Mercury powder by itself, or add the powder to other forms of magic—such as at the bottom of a candle or in a cauldron—to find information and encourage communications (which Mercury rules). To start, grind and mix the following ingredients with a mortar and pestle:

Dried white rose petals,

Silver glitter

Blue powder

Dried vervain

Dried orris root.

With your finger or a pencil, draw the symbol of Mercury (O) and the symbol of Gemini (c) in the powder. Hold your hands over the powder, asking that the mixture be instilled with the dynamic energies of Gemini. Store the powder in a plastic bag that contains a moonstone.

To put to use, place a teaspoon of the Mercury powder in the palm of your hand and blow off your fingers as you ask the element of air to speed your request and return the necessary details to you as quickly as possible.

================================

The ultimate fixer, Virgo uses the ability to discern and analyze to solve

any problem. To tap into Virgo energy, on any Wednesday find an unused check

register. On the first page, list your ancestors. On the next page, write

the current date in the "date" column. State your dilemma in the

"description of transaction" column. Under the "balance" column write your

hoped-for solution. On the front of the transaction register, draw the

around the register and snap it three times, repeating your desires. Each

day, write down the mundane steps you have taken to solve the problem.

Remember to wrap the rubber band around the register when you are finished,

and snap the band three times. When your problem is solved you should bury

the register in your back yard.

===================================

Spell to Strengthen the Witch within

This is a time of the rebirth of the root cultures of many peoples. Ancient wisdom's that were lost or obscured by the power shifts of history are now coming into light through many channels. Native people are discovering their rituals, their myths, their shamans. The advances of technology are adding to this wave of discovery in many ways, such as through media and communication (take the Internet for instance).

The image of the Witch is at the root of our culture past. To embrace and affirm this aspect of ourselves is to tap the power of tradition, longevity, and cellular memory. Once we understand ourselves, harmoney sets in.

In preparing for your spell, first do some serious thinking about just what the image of the Witch means to you. Make a list of all her qualities, her powers, her names, how she looks, what she wears, thinks, feels, etc. See her in your mind's eye with as much clairity and detail as possible.

This spell should be cast three times, at the new, full, and dark of the month.

Ingredients:

Large peice of parchment paper

pen

two purple candles

Moon oil

power incense

a small moonstone

Arrange your altar. carve moons into your candles and anoint them with oil. anoint yourself as well, on brow, heart, and hands. Seat yourself comfortably and light the candles saying:

"With this flame, I awaken the Witch within me."

Light the incense. close your eyes and breathe deeply for a while, relax, and let go. Bathe yourself and your aura in white light. Keep breathing deeply and slowly as you begin to sway and weave, letting your body move into a circluar motion. Empty yourself of all distractions and anxieties. When you fel flowing and peaceful, let your imagination fill up with images of your inner Witch. Take up the parchment and pen and make a sketch of her (don't worry about style or quality: the simpler the better).

Write your impressions and ideas beneath the drawing. Set this up between the candles so that it is facing ou. Take the moonstone and clasp it to your heart. Keep breathing and weaving as you fill yourself with the inage on the parchment.

Draw the Witch image into yourself, see her multiplied a thousand fold, vibrating in every cell of your body. Repeat the following incantation three times:

"I am willing to be different and strong.

I am willing to be different and beautiful.

I am willing to be different and free.

I am willing to be different from patriarchy.

For this difference Is the same.

Sameness with the non-linear world of magick

The goddess; Her forces

My dreams; the Moon

My feelings; my creativity

My passion; my deep love of all creation...

And the only conforming I need to do is forming Creation

for I am form, and I and forming to Universal Law

and therefore must survive...

and even though I may at times feel alone and misunderstood

I will remember that I have sisters out there who are learning to be free, like me

and that I am not aloe, but all one

and that free women were respected and loved

and will be again and will be again and will be

I will it to be

I will it to be

and so doth it be forever and ever

So be it!

Blessed be."

As you repeat this chant, let your words flow rhythmically as you sway, let your voice create melody. Improvise, make new words if you feel inspired. when you feel complete, slip your parchment beneath the altar cloth. Give thanks to the Goddess and God and snuff out the candles. The moonstone is to carry at all times. Keep it in your pocket, under your pillow, or wear it in a pouch. Whenever you feel the need, hold the stone and rub it with your thumb in a circular motion. Think of say:

"I am safe, I am me;

All is well, Blessed be"

Tell no one of this spell until it has come to fullness. Even as you feel your powers strengthen, it

(The area is prepared by placing a quantity of each element in the proper quarter, as well as preparing the altar in the usual way. If available, a cauldron (empty) is placed in the center of the circle. Candles are placed at each of the four corners and lit, progressing deosil from the east. Salt and water are blessed, and the celebrants are purified with them. A magic circle is cast, and watchtowers summoned. The god is then drawn down as follows:

The priest stands before the alter in the Osiris position, arms crossed across chest and feet together. The Priestess kneels before him with face and arms upraised.)

PS: Hephaestus, forger of magic,

descend upon this the body of thy priest and servant,

lend us the strength of your arms.

Prometheus, shape of man,

descend upon this the body of thy priest and servant,

lend us your fire and foresight.

Morpheus, weaver of dreams,

descend upon this the body of thy priest and servant,

lend us your subtlety and vision.

P: I am he, the shape-god,

forger, builder, artisan, smith.

With strength and craft I form the world.

(The Priest helps the Priestess to rise and she stands in the center of the circle in the god position, extending her arms outward and down, palms facing forward. The Priest kneels before her with head bowed.)

P: Clotho, spinner of the strand of life

Descend upon this the body of thy priestess and servant.

Lend us your wheel of making.

Hecate, caster of spells,

Descend upon this the body of thy priestess and servant.

Lend us the power of your magic.

Aphrodite, goddess of love,

Descend upon this the body of thy priestess and servant.

Grant us eros, philos, aristos, agape.

PS: I am she, the weaver-goddess,

Painter, poet, sculptor, witch.

With art and love I form the world.

(The priestess extends her hands to the priest and helps him rise. The priest cups both hands and scoops from the cauldron, then offers to the priestess.)

P: Drink now from the cauldron of Cerridwen, whose draughts bring knowledge, peace and life.

(The priestess sips from the cupped hands, after which the priest drinks. The objects to be blessed are taken from the altar by the priest and moved widdershins to the west quarter, and immersed in the water there.)

P: Spirits of the west, in water born

In cool waters cleanse these tools

And wash from them all hurt and harm

This I ask, this charge I lay,

By oak and ash and bitter thorn.

(The objects are moved by the priestess to the south quarter and moved above the flames there.)

PS: Spirits of the south, in fire born

In shining flames purify these tools

And burn from them all impurities

This I ask, this charge I lay,

By oak and ash and bitter thorn.

(The objects are moved to the east quarter by the priest and moved through the incense smoke.)

P: Spirits of the east, in sweet air born

In swirling winds polish these tools

And sweep from them all phantasm and illusion

This I ask, this charge I lay,

By oak and ash and bitter thorn.

(The objects are moved to the altar by the priestess, and placed upon the pentacle.)

PS: Spirits of the north, in cool earth born

In mother earth ground these tools

And take from them all spirits dark

This I ask, this charge I lay,

By oak and ash and bitter thorn.

(The person consecrating the tools now offers an impromptu or prepared charge to the items, stating their purpose and mode of use. They are then taken up by the priestess and moved to the east quarter.)

PS: Spirits of the east, from the bright air come,

Fill these tools with the swirling energies of the whirlwind

Make them float like the breeze

Spirits of air, hearken unto me,

As I do will, so more it be.

(The tools are now taken up by the priest and moved to the south quarter.)

P: Spirits of the south, from wild fire come,

Fill these tools with the burning energies of the flames

Make them glow with bright fire

Spirits of fire, hearken unto me,

As I do will, so more it be.

(The tools are now taken up by the priestess and moved to the west quarter.)

P: Spirits of the west, from soothing water come,

Fill these tools with the calming energies of the warm rain

Make them flow like the tide

Spirits of water, hearken unto me,

As I do will, so more it be.

(The tools are now taken up by the priestess and moved to the altar.)

PS: Spirits of the north, from firm earth come,

Fill these tools with the ordering energies of the growing crops

Make them flourish like grapes on the vine

Spirits of earth, hearken unto me,

As I do will, so more it be.

(The priest takes the tools from the altar and steps backwards. The priestess stands at the altar facing south towards the priest. The priest extends his right arm in parallel to the ground, between he and the priestess, with the tools in his hand.)

P: I am the god, ever desiring.

I am the stag in the woods,

I am the sun in the noonday sky,

I am the lover in the dark.

I offer passion, strength, devotion and the swiftness of the hunt.

(The priestess extends her right arm in like fashion, and places her hand over that of the priest.)

PS: I am the goddess, ever nurturing.

I am the tempting beauty of the maid,

I am the quiet strength of the mother,

I am the infinite wisdom of the crone.

I offer life, love, warmth and the fruitfulness of the fields.

(Both step towards each other and turn their hands and arms so the fingers point upwards with the palms facing their own chest, cupping the other's palm between and holding the tools. They clasp each other with their left arms.)

P&PS: Male and female, yin and yang, light and dark, action and stillness. Apart we are forever incomplete, but together we form one. In our joining we are blessed. In our union, the limitless energy of universe is released and captured here.

P: As I do will,

PS: As I do will

P&PS: As we do will, so mote it be.

(The priest and priestess kiss, then release grasps. If the number and size of the tools precludes them being held in one hand simultaneously, the latter charging section should be repeated for each. The tools are replaced on the altar. Cakes and wine are blessed and consumed and a period of relaxation and rest follows. The watchtowers are then dismissed and the circle opened.)
