About fairies (Art: by Brian Froud)

fairies are metaphysical and symbolic beings.

In Animism it is believed that any natural element has life, soul and consciousness of its own.

It could be said that one of them are the fairies that are energy found in any natural element and that can also be manifested through it, they do not have a specific physical form but they can take a certain physical form

more specifically that of humanoid since generally this is how we usually associate them in that way by representations in art and folk tales and take the form of what we are famerialized with, which in this case is how we see them or (persist).

Are they good or bad? many believe that there are fairies or Faery beings who are: good and others who are bad.

others: that in reality they are neither good nor bad, rather they have no reasoning that it is good or bad, or rather that they do not know how to differentiate between what is good and what is bad

just like nature which is where they come from.

for some others: they tend to be temperamental so they should be treated with respect and not offend if they are so, they will play practical jokes on you and can "steal" and hide your things or even "reverse" "luck".

the Faerie world and the world of the dead: Fairies are seriously believed to be the spirits of the dead, fairies were dead people, perhaps sometimes dating back to pre-Christian times, and that the land of fairies was a transcendent land of the dead, which, in special circumstances , it could be penetrated by the living.

An ingrained tradition is that fairies are the dead pagans (or perhaps post-Purgatory Christians not good enough for heaven but too good for hell), living in a world of limbo, occasionally coinciding with our own. A story that captures this idea well was compiled by folklorist William Bottrell in Cornwall in the early 1870s.

the fairies taboo :The taboo of fairies are restrictions or prohibitions that are set by fairies and that if they are broken have consequences and These consequences are almost always (although not exclusively) harmful for the human protagonists of the stories.

How to protect yourself from fairies that only want to do harm?putting iron horseshoes since they are believed to protect and ward off evil and it is also believed that it burns and drives away fairies. I want to make it clear that all the information not only refers only to fairies, it also refers to all beings related to fairies such as: elves, nogmos, etc, etc, etc.

Fairy rings or (fairy circle)

the fairy ring or also called fairy circle This is what mushroom vegetation circles are called it can be from Amanita muscaria or any other type of fungus. and it is called a ring or fairy circle because there is where fairies usually gather to dance and celebrate. it is said that fairies can dance "until they drop" and if a human being were to enter said circle. They can make him dance and dance until he dies. Also when you enter you could be trapped in their world and you could not return. So before entering you must take these things into account and be sure before entering. That said, if you are sure to enter, you can put offerings that are to your liking as long as they are natural things such as: stones, flowers and honey. or even milk and bread. this out of respect, to be able to go out and not to offend them.

Hodooo bath with hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis)

hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) is a plant that is used to clean and purify, it is mentioned in Psalm 51 of the Bible. You can use it as a bath by adding it to water, you can even add flower water, sea salt, or other types of "baths" Yes

you want it.

while reciting Psalm 51

Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;

Wash me and I'll be whiter than snow.

USES OF "DIRT"

in the hooodoo the "dirt" is collected and used and it also refers to "dust" since "dust" is a type of "dirt", from a certain specific place for a specific purpose since the "dust" from that certain place has the "energy" or "quality" of that particular place from which it was obtained. and although it could be said that it is a "form" of "sympathetic magic" it is not, since in "sympathetic magic" what you do is "represent". On the other hand, in this practice what you do is take part of the "force" or "quality" of a certain place through "dirt" for a specific purpose, that is, it "works" directly with that "energy". "and not through any other means. Another important piece of information to take into account is not only to pick it up, no, it also depends on where and how you pick it up. a little dirt list of its "functions" and uses: *hospital dirt: to heal the sick. *Bank dirt: for money "jobs" and financial affairs. *House dirt: for protection, family or even "destruction". *Dirt of the Police Corps and judicial center: for justice and legal matters. *Cemetery dirt: I want to clarify that by "dirt" of the cemetery I do not mean only the "dust". I also mean the graveyard land. To deal damage to an enemy, connect with the ancestors. The dirt of the cemetery: I want to clarify that by "dirt" of the cemetery I do not mean only the "dust". I also mean the graveyard land. It should be collected with respect and first asking permission from the "guardian" of the cemetery. It would be best to know more about the death of the person in the grave. that is, if he died: of natural causes and in a calm way, or if he died by some disease, accident or violently. Having said this, go to the grave and say what you need it for, I mean dirt and or earth. after this as payment to the deceased you can put some coins or any other offering that is to your liking.

Animal Curiosities And Insects In the Hoodoo.

curiosities of animals: Rabbit's foot: it is used as a good luck charm because it is believed to bring good luck. Crocodile feet: used to win and attract good luck in gambling. Chicken eggs, and feet: Eggs: spiritual cleansing and removing disease. In general, the egg of a black hen is used, but when obtaining it, you can use another type of egg, I mean that of the white or commercial hen. Chicken feet:feet of protection and "defensive magic". Black cat:It could be said that it fulfills a double function of good and bad luck. help to regain a lost love. Black cat bone:believed to provide "invisibility" Black cat and dog hair:to cause separations and disagreements (fights). Dog manure-(Dog shit):curse enemies Crab Shell Powder:Crab Shell Powder: Powders made from the shells of the crab is first powdered and used to reverse spells and damage on a person. curiosities of insects: Bees: protection, ,good luck,marriage and love. honey is also used in sweetness and love spells. Wasps: defensive magic,confusion and fights. Red ants:they are used to curse and cause fights because they tend to get angry very easily and their bite is inflammatory and painful.

Jinxes, Hexes, and Curses

About This Masterpost Thicket’s Magical Masterpost

Jinxes, hexes, and curses are all part of the same category of malicious magic. This is magic done to harm. It may be done for the greater good, but in general it is always offensive and always meant to hurt another person.

A jinx is the least damaging of all malicious magics. It is more like a nasty trick or prank than an actual attack. Considering they serve little strategic value in battle, I consider jinxes to be just plain cruel.

Hexes are magical attacks. A hex can be relatively minor or extremely dangerous, depending on the spell chosen and how much power it has.

Curses are not simply more powerful hexes. In my path, a curse is life-changing. It permanently alters fate and destiny. I doubt the majority of magical workers in the world can cast a true curse. For this reason we will mostly be talking about jinxes and hexes, since curses are beyond the scope of this article. The purpose of this post is to talk about hex and jinx identification and breaking.

A hex can have endless symptoms, from the vague to the specific. When you are hexed, things just start to go wrong, in your body, your mind, or your life (or all three, if you are against a wicked opponent). When trying to identify hexing symptoms for yourself or another, keep an eye on what is abnormal. Don’t get what is normal twisted with what is a symptom of hexing. If someone normally has anxiety, then don’t assume that is being caused by a hex. Instead, keep an eye on if that anxiety worsens, changes, or is triggered by new things.

A few common hexing symptoms: Headaches, nausea, stomach pain, body pain, anxiety, worry, nightmares, insomnia, sleep paralysis, uncontrollable thoughts, strange impulses or compulsions, being unable to keep track of time, breaking objects on accident, phobias or fears, being in physical danger (car accidents, assaults), people treat you differently (as if they dislike you for some reason now), always being at the wrong place at the wrong time, positive relationships start decaying, unhealthy people come back in to your life, things just plain going wrong.

Now let me slow your roll for a moment. Remember that you are looking for abnormal symptoms. If people haven’t liked you your entire life, it is unlikely that a witch put a curse on you as an infant. If you have had a fear of spiders since you were bitten twelve years ago, it doesn’t mean that was a symptom of a spider-hex and now your natural spiders means you are under magical attack. Be reasonable. People have headaches every day for mundane reasons, and their “unexplainable” symptoms could be traced back to their Oreo and Mountain Dew exclusive diet. What you are looking for is a thread of unexplained commonality.

Remember that people seem to have a natural and powerful inclination to blame their problems on magic. I absolutely know once I publish this article I am going to get many messages from many people down on their luck asking if they have been hexed or cursed. In reality, their inability to take their foot off the gas pedal is what’s giving them speeding tickets, not some magical scapegoat. That being said, if you reasonably do believe you’ve been hexed, absolutely contact me; my point is that people often like to think they have been hexed, when they have not.

Another important part of identifying magical attack is figuring out where it would have come from. A friend of mine has many common hexing symptoms, and he knows of a magical practitioner who would have had it out for him exactly at the time all these symptoms started. If not for the knowledge of this person, I would doubt he was under magical attack. So if you or a friend match a lot of these symptoms – where did they come from? Magical attack does not spawn out of thin air.

Or does it?

Many of the symptoms of hexing are shared by symptoms of spirit attack. Which can, literally, come from nowhere. There is no harm in doing a full banishing along with a hex reversal. This is not the post to discuss spirit attack, just be aware that you are not necessarily being hexed even if you are under true spiritual attack.

Ask yourself what big event happened at the time a hex was supposedly laid upon you or another. Did they get married, possibly inciting jealousy in another? Did they screw someone over? Did they get promoted, move, lose their job, find a new partner, or break up? Gather all the information you can about what was going on in this person’s life at the start of their symptoms. This will provide clues as to the possible source of magical attack, allowing you to build better defenses.

Basically when it comes to breaking spiritual attack, there are a few basic steps you will want to take.

Protect the person as best you can. If someone is under a true spiritual attack, there are two basic options. Either their opponent has hexed them once and forgotten about it, or the attack is ongoing. If the attack is ongoing, it means that any steps to break the hex may be noticed and be met with redoubled efforts by the opponent. You will want to lay personal protections on them, as well as creating a safe haven in their bedroom or home/apartment. If you are going to be helping yourself, check your wards and put a lot of solid energy in to them. But don’t rely on them – after all, they did not prevent the attack from coming through the first time. Question where your protections are lacking and how you can reinforce them.

Uncross the person very thoroughly. An uncrossing is a way to remove magical hexes and bindings. It is simple but powerful magic. Uncrossing spells will be given at the end.

[Cleanse] the person and their home thoroughly, to remove any residual energies.

Bless the person and their home, to restore a sense of peace, security, and safety.

Blast the opponent, if necessary. If you have found yourself caught up in an ongoing spiritual attack, sometimes the best way to handle it is to cripple your opponent through your own offensive measures.

Posts on protection, uncrossing, and blessing will come later. Read about cleansing [here].

Let me encourage you not to handle hexing cases alone. There is no shame in reaching out when someone is actually attacking you, you know? It’s not something you have to handle alone. Just make sure you don’t incite your friends to mob mentality violence. That’s not cool, either.

Let’s take a moment and talk about blasting, owl-blinking, nightmaring, and hexing – on your side of the fence. Hexes and curses get thrown around like cheap Halloween candy on Tumblr, and most of them are radically dangerous, written by teenagers and young adults who are out for vengeance no matter the price.

Well, screw that mentality. You do not have to sacrifice yourself using dangerous hexes in order to get back at someone. I’m not going to touch the issue ethically, you are your own person and you get to choose who to hurt. I am going to brush up against this issue magically, to try and teach how to cast a safe hex. Incidentally, I don’t believe in the 3fold law, for those of you who asked me.

Hexing someone is like dragging a bucket of shit through your house in order to dump it on your cheating boyfriend. That nasty energy is going to get everywhere. When I cleanse, I feel light and refreshed, because that cleansing energy has rubbed off on me. When I cast a love spell I hit up my boys afterwords because that love energy has rubbed off on me. When I cast a hex, I feel angry, violent, and raw – because that same energy has gotten in to my system. When you cast a spell, part of that spell stays within you.

The nasty energy starts when you start thinking up the most vile things to throw at someone. As you feed that anger, you also feed the hex growing within yourself. But that energy doesn’t exist to hurt one person, it exists to hurt everyone – including you. As you dwell on your anger and hurt and plans to hex, that energy builds and builds and starts to overflow on to your personal energies and life. Ever notice how people who spend a lot of time hexing also seem to have shitty things constantly happening to them through pure coincidence?

When the hex itself is cast, that bottled up energy explodes out in one direction, towards your victim. But just as a gun fires a bullet, that gunpowder residue also explodes and gets all over whoever fired the gun.

But wait! There’s more. That energy is going to follow a pipeline to your enemy – your astral relationship pipeline. When no pipeline exists, a taglock such as a photo, hair, or nail clippings are used instead. This is how a witch with no personal investment can hex someone. But this relationship pipeline isn’t reduced, damaged, or cut off when a hex is sent, leaving you free from this person’s influence. The pipeline reacts exactly how it is supposed to react when a huge amount of energy is sent through it: it gets stronger. Ever notice how you can hex someone ten times and your relationship seems to get deeper and more complicated and shitty every time, leaving you in a swamp of shit when you just wanted to hex someone and get them out of your life? Yeah.

So there are two basic problems when it comes to hexing. The first is that the hex energy gets all over you and fucks you up, and the second is that hexing someone makes your astral relationship grow stronger, not weaker. Fortunately taking care of these problems is easy.

If you’ve made up your mind to be a hex-witch, you need to build up your natural protections and fortifications before you get deep in to the attack magic. This will help guard against all that nasty energy hurting you. Engage in regular cleansings – more than someone who doesn’t do hexes. Rip hexes off like bandaids. You don’t need to feed a hex for weeks and weeks before you cast it. Go deep, cast it hard, then cleanse thoroughly. Use your most powerful cleansers on yourself, your home, and the area you did the hex in.

After you are aware that the hex has been delivered (through social media, hearing about that person’s troubles, or magical sensing) cut the bond between the two of you through any regular spell. Check out my post on bindings for a little more info on breaking a relationship bind.

Then, release. Release that anger. Release your need for justice and vengeance. The spell has been cast, your work has been done. The more you hold on to it, the more you give room for those shitty energies to build back up in your life. Do a magical ritual. Burn your memories of that person. Burn what they did to you. Let the ashes blow away in the wind. Recover. Treat yo’ self. Hanging on, and casting hex after hex after hex just to punish a person, is dragging yourself down with them. Eventually your job will be done. (I will also argue that if one hex doesn’t cut it, then two won’t either)

Anyway, let’s focus on some hex-breaking spells.

Simple Candle Buster

Take a black taper candle. The next best colors are red and white. Any color taper will do in a pinch. Carve away the bottom end of the candle so that the wick pokes out. This reversal symbolizes, well, reversal. Coat the candle in any of the hex-breaking oils or waters listed at the end. Surround the candle-holder with the hottest peppers you have access to. Charge these peppers with the intent to burn and shred any spell attached to you. Once your candle is set up with the peppers, speak to the spell. Ask it to utterly destroy and terrorize any malicious spell cast upon you. Ask it to send the spell back to its creator. Allow the candle to burn down fully.

Egg-xit My Aura

Take a whole egg. Fresh is best if you can get it, otherwise it doesn’t really matter. Rub the egg all over your body or have someone else do it for you. Start at the feet and go upwards. You do not have to be nude. Chant, “Egg, egg, take away all the shit that’s in my way.” Vividly imagine that every curse and hex placed upon you is consumed within the infinite depths of the egg. Throw it away outside of your home. Do not break it.

You’ll Rue The Day

Take a very long and enjoyable soak in a bath filled with rue, angelica, or any other curse-breaker you know. Avoid adding chili peppers to the bath, for obvious reasons. Ensure that you charge the bath with hex-breaking properties. As you bathe, feel the plant spirits washing over you and consuming the hex placed around you, both ethereally and astrally. This is not for pregnant or nursing women.

Doll Hex-Breaker

Craft a poppet of yourself. Coat it in any hex-breaking oils that you see fit. Allow it to soak in Four Thieves Vinegar overnight, in moonlight if possible. In the morning, coddle the doll and coat it with uncrossing, protective, or beneficial oils and waters. Keep the doll safe until it dries fully. Undo the poppet magic (remove all traces of its association to you) and store until you wish to use it again, or discard it.

Flying Devil Powder

Create a blend of black pepper, cinnamon, dragon’s blood, patchouli, and vetiver. If not all ingredients are available, use what you have. Add anything else intuition tells you you should add. Burn this substance on a hot charcoal and stand within the smoke. It makes the devils fly away.

Lemon Lime Bath

Take as many lemons and limes as you have. Squeeze them in to the bath water and include the rinds. Add nine bay leaves. Bathe thoroughly.

War Water Bath

Add war water to the bath. Bathe. Imagine that iron weapons spring from the bath and mutilate any malicious spell placed upon you.

Grind It Up

Take three of the hottest dried peppers you have. Name each pepper, “you are the curse placed upon me.” Grind the peppers together. Whack them a whole bunch with the pestle, too. As you do so, imagine that the curses are being torn to shreds. Take the ground up seeds and chili skin. Add it to a new protective charm and wear it in addition to your other armors.

Salted Lemons

This is a more complex one. You will need a lemon, some salt, and some holy water. Light one black, one red, and one white candle. Light uncrossing incense (rue, cinnamon, hyssop, bay leaf. Whatever you have). Pass a knife through the incense smoke. Hold the blade in the flame of each of the three candles, then sprinkle the blade with holy water. Using this knife, slice the lemon in to three sections. Dip each section in to the holy water, then in to the dish of salt so they are completely coated. Leave the lemon slices out on a paper towel. When they are completely dried, the hex is thoroughly removed. If the lemon slices start to rot, the hex has not been removed. To negate the hex, use holy water. To return the hex, use war water.

Mesopotamian Incantation

This useful hex-breaker reaffirms your value to the universe, elevating you above the spells mean to harm you. Begin chanting:

“I am pleasing, I am pleasing

Heaven takes pleasure in me

Earth takes pleasure in me

The ocean takes pleasure in me

The sky takes pleasure in me

The gods take pleasure in me

The sun takes pleasure in me

The moon takes pleasure in me

My mother takes pleasure in me…

Continue on in this manner, naming every good and wonderful thing you can think of. Your significant other, your dogs. Whatever gives you power and strength, affirm that it takes pleasure (loves you and wants you to be safe) in you. Continue on for as long as you desire. Then, end with this. Shout if necessary:

“Many any evil magic on me be dispelled

May any evil magic on me be removed!”

Second Mesopotamian Spell

Chant the following:

“Evil man

Evil Eye

Evil mouth

Evil tongue

Evil spell

Witchcraft, spit, saliva, evil deeds, evil thoughts

Get out of the house now!”

Four Thieves Vinegar

Uses: Highly purifying and protective, also healing.

Obtain the best possible red wine or apple cider vinegar. Peel and crush garlic cloves and add them to the vinegar; the more garlic, the better. Choose four of the following ingredients to add: Black pepper, whole chili pepper, coriander, lavender, mint, rosemary, rue, sage, thyme, or wormwood. Allow to sit for four days, shaking once daily, before using.

Glory Water

Uses: Drives away ill fortune, draws success. Perhaps very useful for your self care.

In fresh water, combine the following: Orange blossom water or neroli hydrosol. Frankincense resin or essential oil. Essential oil of bergamont. Orange blossom water/neroli is essential and cannot be substituted or replaced.

Pollution Water

Uses: Clears pollution, aids in banishment

Grind ashes, salt, and red pepper in to a fine powder. Add this powder to spring water. The product is intensified if the ashes are from burned holy verses or prayers of protection.

Crown of Success Oil

Use: To bring success unto its wearer.

Combine bay leaves, frankincense, sandalwood, and vetiver in to sunflower, olive, or jojoba oils. Essential oils may be used instead of the dried plant matter. Wear regularly as part of your self care. Something tells me Joobs may like this one.

Fiery Wall of Protection Oil

Use: Protection

Blend powdered dragon’s blood resin and sea salt together. Add frankincense and myrrh. Add to castor oil. If necessary, include olive oil to reduce thickness. Wear as a perfume to protect yourself, or add to a jar and carry as a talisman. If you choose to add cinnamon and ginger, it cannot be worn on the skin.

Flying Devil Oil

Use: Banishment

Blend red pepper and/or hot chili peppers in to olive oil or baby oil. This spicy mix will drive away unwanted spirits and spells.

"A witch who cannot curse cannot heal." -a saying within traditional witchcraft

Hexing

This spell is similar to the one given above and will cause your enemy to have extreme bad luck in all his/her endeavours. Again you will need to obtain a piece of clothing from your enemy, if you cannot acquire a piece of clothing, then try to get anything which belongs to him. On this piece of clothing write hisiher name in block capitals. Take a bowl and put in it some heavily salted water, to this add some pepper and tobacco from a used cigarette. Mix this substance well and over it say: "Demons and spirits of hell, Charge this with your venomous spit. Fill it with the negativity of your realm, Make him suffer slowly, no, not too quick. Take my hatred from whence it spawned, Bad luck is his from dusk to dawn. SO MOTE IT BE.'' Go to the garden and dig a hole, place the piece of clothing in the hole and over it pour the liquid substance. Say: "From this day and hour (name of enemy)'s life will change. Heishe will have no peace till he/she changes ways. Negativity engulfs you and it is what you deserve." Cover the hole. The spell is finished. Book: PRACTICAL MAGICKALEVOCATION M. McGrath

Necromancy

1: When going to a cemetery, ask the Psychopomp or death deity of your choice for permission.

2:If you visit a graveyard and it has doors, you must knock on the door three times. as a form of respect and to tell the deceased that you have just arrived and that you want to pass.

3: After step 2. You can leave offerings at the same door you knocked on for the dead

4:Offerings: coins, coffee, The alcohol: Whiskey, Rum, Brandy,legumbre .

5:If you are going to collect graveyard dirt or dust. it is important that you know how that person died that is, if he died of natural causes, by engermerdo if he died calmly or violently. for this you could use some divination method, such as: the pendulum. and ask “Is the filth of this tomb suitable for my purpose?” If you get a positive answer, then ask “Is (the spirit of the tomb) willing to sell me some of its filth?” Again, if you get a positive answer ask "Is the spirit willing to accept my offering of (offering) in exchange for some of its dirt?" If you get a positive answer, then make the offering and collect the dirt. negative answer, either 1) move to another grave or 2) return to the same grave at another time.

6:If you don't have a pendulum handy then you can simply walk towards the center of the graveyard. Mentally contact the spirits around you, explain your situation and ask if there are any spirits that would be willing to help you complete your goal. So you can feel a psychic pull towards a certain grave. Once a grave is chosen, strike the headstone three times and place your palm on it mentally declaring your goal again asking the spirit if it will help you. If the spirit grants permission, then you can go pick up the dirt. Next, you will cut a small section of grass and then remove the dirt about 4-6 inches down. Never take more than you need. When you're done, place a silver penny in the hole, then replace the grass. Put your dirt in a container like a plastic bag or glass jar. Remember to label the container with the name of the deceased, as well as the dates of their birth and death. Upon returning home, you may want to put the dirt on a plate or other flat surface to dry if it's wet. Then, too, through a sieve or strainer to remove any rocks, roots, or plant matter.

Tip I was taught

If you have a dream, and you wake up and remember a single part or image of that dream, even if you don't do any dream recall, it's a message. For example, if you have a full and complex dream but only remember something like seeing a particular flower, and you remember that through the day, even without dream recall, then its a message. If you forget about it then it was just a normal dream.

Edit - So I'm incredibly sorry about the fear this post may have caused so I would like to clear a few things here. Look at a dream dictionary for the knowledge of abstract symbols and meanings. We are often communicated to through symbols so a dream of xyz may not be a literal interpretation of xyz but an abstract meaning of xyz. Also, make sure to note that a dream that stimulates enough of an emotional response, like sex or a fear inducing situation, will often be remembered in the short term, and sometimes in the long term. I should have made the distinction that the dream will leave a sense of intuition guiding you to know there's something more to the dream than meets the eye.

Witch Exercises

1) Concentration

Get a candle, any candle, doesn't matter what colour it is. Hell it can be a tealight, even a scented candle (but make sure that the candle isn't too strongly scented). Now, set a timer for two minutes, and put it aside. Light the candle and stare at the flame for two minutes. Yes, direct your entire focus and mind on that little flame. If thoughts come into your head, redirect your focus to the candle. If you wanna look somewhere else, redirect your focus to the candle (within reason of course, if you have something urgent like a parent calling you or something then answer and do this exercise later). What this does is two things - one, the flame and staring into it is believed to have properties to empower psychic abilities. 2) By doing this consistently, you have begun to learn how to push out everything else and direct your concentration into one thing (so now you can concentrate on your intent better instead of just suddenly thinking of what you need to do for dinner). RInse and repeat. No candle, then get a picture or something else suitable to you. I do this when praying, whenever I pray the Our Father on the Rosary, I focus on a picture of God as the Trinity. The Hail Marys, I focus on a picture of Mary who strikes down the dragon or Mary, Mother of Graces.

2) VIsualizatio.

Get something. It can be a vase or an apple, or even some money. Look at it for a couple of minutes, toss it around in your hands. If you have aphantasia then instead of visualizing, you would essentially just know (like instead of trying to visualize and feel energy in your body, you just know there's energy in your body. I don't believe, I know is one of the most powerful thing's I've seen.) When its done; put it down and close your eyes and form it in your mind, every detail. Know what it looks like, know its colour, know its smell, know what it feels like, know the emotions it brings, what sound would it make if it fell down, what does it taste like? Then hold that knowing or image in your head for as long as possible (again, you can set a timer for two minutes) - what this does is 1) concentrates your mind on something and accurately replicates it 2) gives you the ability that after this in spells you'll be able to better visualize because you were able to pick up how to ues the five senses in it and so on.

3) Breathing

Go to Wim Hof's youtube channel, I don't trust anyone else except him.

4) Meditation - you know that candle thing up there - yeah it was meditation. Walking around can be meditation, drawing and journalling can be meditation. When we pray the rosary; we're asked to meditate on the mysteries but I've interpreted simply as contemplating. Mindfulness is contemplating the experience of the now. Meditation is not about no focus, its about directing your focus to something (like walking, breathing, the candle flame) and letting your mind relax, clear itself out and be more receptive to trances, magick, psychic abiliies etc. prayer in itself is meditation.

Planetary Meditations and Spells

So first, let me just place an thing here that we can use for future reference.

This is a diagram that displays the invoking and banishing hexagrams of each planet, alongside their own sigils. I will be adding onto this by giving you two main gestures that you can use

Rending the Veil - this is to open up the aethyr in order to let spiritual energy through or to enter into a spiritual state, it is a ceremonial magick thing but can easily be applied in folk magick in order to open up liminal spaces and portals so that one may work with spirits, entities and energies. It is done by placing the hands in prayer position (palms against each other) and then extending them forward into the air, and bringing them apart, like opening a curtain with the proper visualization.

Closing the veil - this is the reverse of the above, the hands are taken to the open curtains and it is closed, hands back with palms together in the centre and retracted.

Furthermore - here are the following Archangels

Begin by cleansing the space by method of your choosing. Stand facing the direction of the planet of your choosing

Saturn: North (Black) (YHWH Elohim) Jupiter: South East (Celestial blue) ( El) Mars - South West (Deep Red) ( Elohim Givor) Moon - North West (Silver or a bright white) (Shaddai El Chai) Venus - Centre (Green or a rose pink) ( YHWH Tzavaot) Mercury - East (multiple colours) ) (Elohim Tzavaot) Sun - South (Gold or a bright yellow).

Then, finish it with more cleansing (in case this is what you want) and a grounding session.

I have done this with tremendously great results and it sorta ended up in a gnosis and a more conducive space for the evocation later on.
