- A Simple Talisman
The talisman I'm teaching you to create in this post requires no equipment other than a piece of paper and a writing implement. White paper and ballpoint pen or pencil are just fine. Start out by drawing a circle on your paper. Use a glass, jar lid or some other form so your circle is round. When you draw the circle, don't complete it all the way. Leave a small opening at the top (see the video example at the end of the post). Write the name of the person for whom you are making the talisman (usually your own). Then write one, three or five power words. These are single words in your own native language and writing. These words represent the solving of your problem. For instance, if money were needed, a power word might be either WEALTH or CASH; If you were in danger, then perhaps SAFE or SECURE; If you were lonely, you might consider COMPANION or PARTNER.* If you were doing a spell for getting your groceries paid for this month, you might write: NAME PEACE WEALTH NOURISH If you were casting to stay safe in a dangerous situation, you might write NAME PEACE SAFE SECURE JOY CERTAIN Once you have written in the name and power words, simply draw the circle closed. That's it. That's all you need to do. Your talisman is active the instant you close the circle. Keep your talisman private, in a drawer or cabinet. Leave it lying face up. Don't let anything touch its surface. We call this phase "Broadcasting." A Communication Device The talisman is communicating the power words to your deep mind in a way that cannot be argued. As long as the talisman is left undisturbed, it will continue to broadcast to the deep mind. While your talisman is active, don't block the transmission. If you notice yourself indulging in fear thoughts regarding the problem at hand, immediately recite your power words to yourself either silently or aloud. Once you are feeling peace again then forget the matter completely. We have found that more than three active talismans tend to dilute our results. So, if you are named in three talismans, simply deactivate one of them (usually the oldest) before creating a new talisman. To deactivate a talisman, simply tear it. Once the circle is broken it has stopped broadcasting forever. When you do this, we recommend that you take a deep breath and close your eyes and feel a rush of energy as these ideas become permanently "installed" in your energetic body. You may feel a little shiver or goosebumps when you tear it. Seems too simple to work Are the complex talismans more powerful than this simple one? As far as giving a magical means for helping you get your practical needs met? Absolutely not. In fact, simple is often better in the case of practical magic. The more complex operations are extremely important though, but not because they hold any more potency in getting practical results. They are important because they help us to deepen and strengthen ourselves as practitioners of the Craft. We are called further into the mysteries, and there is no end to the depths of wonder and beauty we can discover on the Way. Magic is your birthright. You always have available to you simple but powerful techniques that support you in getting your needs met. Thinking that you have to wait until you have a comprehension of the more complex theory that lies behind the magic before you can use it is akin to thinking you need an engineering degree in order to operate your TV. * I recommend that top power word in any talisman be either PEACE or SERENITY. If we place any other goal before the goal of peace then we can never be happy nor have our true needs met.
- Spell of Purification
We learn to do what is in front of us to do. There is no past or future. There is only what is in front of us. We verbally and boldly claim, "I am being divinely guided from on high." We mean it. We know it is true. We do what is in front of us to do, and we boldly claim, "Divine right action is mine now." Then we follow the guidance as we receive it in each moment. Whatever is not of Divine guidance we let go of. We purify our minds, our emotions, and our worlds. Purification Spell Take a small spray bottle. Place in it: three drops of dishwashing liquid one small pinch of sugar 9 sprays of eau de cologne, van-van, or any other perfume spray Fill the bottle 2/3 with warm water and shake. Use this magical wash to cleanse an area completely. Spray and wipe down entries, doorknobs, surfaces, spray onto the beater of the vacuum before cleaning rugs, spray it into the air, use it everywhere in your dwelling. While you are cleansing your space tell yourself, "I claim this place in the name of the Infinite." Use any incantation you like, even the Lord's Prayer. Just know you are claiming your dwelling in the name of the Infinite. God does not come unbidden. We must claim what is our birthright. That is the law. If God were to just do everything for us without our first claiming it, that would be tantamount to an invasion, or an attack. God does not attack. God is not a being. God is infinite Life. God is Perfect Love. God is Infinite Principle. God is Infinite Intelligence. These qualities are what is meant by "the name of God," As you claim your dwelling in the name of the Infinite, that means that as you are working your spell your are doing so while considering all the qualities of the Divine that you can think of. Those qualities ARE the name of God. Claim your life, and your dwelling in the name of the Infinite, and keep doing so. Cleanse. Let Divine Will be done. Notes: If perfumes disagree with you, simply use a tablespoon of any kind of vinegar instead. If you don't have access to a spray bottle, use a bowl or basin. If you don't have access to any ingredients other than a glass of water, you may cleanse with only water.
- COVID-19 - What Can Magic Do?
We seem to just be approaching the thick of this outbreak. It's pretty scary. The world around us reports back that we are vulnerable, unsafe, and entering a downward spiral of evil and uncertainty. People are doing what they can to exert some sense of control over their lives: They hoard. They stockpile. They cut in front of others to get supplies which they fear will become scarce. At the moment, there isn't any cure for this disease. No one knows what will happen. What, if anything, can magic do to help? Real magic only works efficiently when it's used to effect change within one's own sphere of influence. Do you currently have within your magical sphere of influence the means for changing public policy, the actions of large groups of people, or the general life span of this outbreak? Probably not. If not, then it's a waste of time and energy to do spells to attempt to cure anything on those levels. Instead, do magic for YOURSELF. Do spells to stay healthy. Do spells to stay safe. Do spells to make perfect choices. Do spells to successfully ride the changing tides as they come. Do spells to keep your emotional balance. Do spells for financial prosperity in the midst of it all. Do spells to be a blessing to each and every person you encounter. Do spells to have ALL your good manifest for you in spite of everything that is happening around you! Be responsible. Do everything you're supposed to do in the world to stay safe and healthy and ADD magic to those efforts. Magic is not a replacement for responsible behavior; instead, magic is a great amplifier of power. Stay safe and healthy. Here is a good Psalm spell that has been used during outbreaks for centuries. It will work for you just as well as for anyone else. You cycle through the three psalms -- working one Psalm per day. Do a minimum of three cycles. The three Psalms to use in this spell, are Psalm 3, Psalm 13 and Psalm 91. Be sure you always use the Psalm Magic Formula when using Psalms as magic! Love and blessings, Ariel
- The Magic List
Let's get you on a magical success track, and we can discuss theory later. Here's how you get actual results: Distill your six most currently pressing needs into two categories: three things you'd like to eliminate; and, three things you'd like to produce. The items on your list must be within your magical sphere of influence. This simply means that those items are things that you think are possible for you, even though you have no idea HOW they could manifest. Make sure you revise your list as frequently as needed to reflect your six most pressing needs/desires. These items must be specific, not general. An example of a specific item might be: "Manifest 2 or more packages of toilet paper." This is well defined and also within your sphere of influence. Even though in the midst of the buying panic at the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak the stores are all out and you have no idea where it will come from. An example of an item not clearly defined might be "Have all our needs met." How would you ever check this item off your list? How would you ever know that all your needs have been met? The Magic List is only for our most pressing needs and desires, not our long term goals. Read over your Magic List periodically. Work a spell on just one of these items at a time, but know that as you do so, all six are being treated magically by virtue of your daily practice, and by their being on the Magic List. Often times we will easily accomplish all six items while only casting on one. Immediately, each time you get an accomplishment: check the item off the list; do a ritual of gratitude for its accomplishment; add a new item to replace the item that has been accomplished. Keep a running tally of all your magical successes. Your magical success tally will become extremely long if you work magic daily. This magical success tally becomes your rock of faith, and your power continues to grow. The more success you tally, the stronger your power becomes. The stronger your power becomes, the larger your sphere of influence widens. Now is a VERY important time for each of us to expand our spheres of influence. This expansion only comes through DAILY practice.
- Spells Require Relaxation
If there was ever a time for us to be casting it is now. Please be aware, however, that if you are casting with tension in your body, mind or emotions, you are working AGAINST yourself. Please remember this. Magic cast in a relaxed state brings infinite good; whereas magic cast in a tense state brings violent, unwanted results. Do you think you can't relax in the midst of all that is going on? If your ancestor Magi were able to do it in the midst of their troubles, then so can we. Here is how: 1. Tell your body once out loud "BODY, RELAX NOW!" It has to obey. Do not take no for an answer. Go through your body, part by part and mentally tell each part, "relax now." Breathe slowly, gently and rhythmically as you do so 2. Tell your mind once out loud, "THOUGHTS, RELAX NOW!" Watch your thought patterns for a few moments, and mentally tell each thought pattern to "relax now." Breathe slowly, gently and rhythmically as you do so. 3. Tell your emotions once, out loud, "EMOTIONS, RELAX NOW!" Feel your feelings for a few moments, and mentally tell each emotion to "relax now." Now you are relaxed, in just a few minutes, and are ready to proceed to safely and successfully cast! Let's get ourselves ahead of the curve. Let's use this time to cast amazing magic for our futures! In A Witch's Primer, we use the following two meditations to relax, protect and get us in the right space for effective magic:
- The Avalon Journey
Something that tends to happen when things are uncertain, is that we start to rush around focussing our energy and attention "out there" trying to make things be a certain way. Magic doesn't work that way. In magic, we notice what's going on "out there" and go instead deep within ourselves to affect the change in the world we desire. We still do the work out there in the world, but that is not where we place our faith. Our faith is placed on the inner world of cause. We know how where our sphere of influence is and we expand that sphere by working diligently on what we DO have power over. Here is a popular meditation that I created many years ago. You can part the mists from the mundane world and enter Avalon, the world of magic. The spells that are cast in Avalon cause positive changes in the world that are powerful and enduring. Give some time to it and let me know how you get on! BB Ariel
- Ancient Spell to Protect and Heal
Hi friends!!! There are spells for COVID-19 already. They have been used for centuries for all outbreaks. Some spells have better track records than others. This one's track record is actually quite impressive. https://www.ariels-corner.com/91st-psalm We use it to keep ourselves and our vicinity safe. It's self care. Protect yourself several times per day, as needed. We keep our spirit centered on the GOOD, no matter what. We take precautions in the real world. We do our best to keep well using worldly methods...but we also ADD magic. Lean IN to your Craft in times when things are crazy in the world. Manifest your good in the midst of it all. Have GOOD days no matter what kind of day other people are having. Good begets good. Good is healing. Claim your safety and your health. Claim it for yourself and for your family. It's your birthright! https://www.ariels-corner.com/91st-psalm
- Cynics, Fluff-Bunnies and Gratitude
What we are grateful for expands and what we are cynical about imprisons. There is so much more available to us right in our midst that remains invisible to us because we are so cynical and devoid of sincere gratitude. The world has it all backwards. The world teaches us that once life gives us something to be thankful for then we'll be grateful. But the way things really work is completely the opposite of that. Our gratitude CREATES experiences for which we are grateful. Once we are grateful, we become seekers of gratitude. We start to notice more and more reasons to be grateful even in the midst of what everyone around us is complaining about, or being afraid of. Our gratitude becomes a power that we wear. As our power grows, we notice how much more of an influence for good we are. We notice that our gratitude starts to actually change things around us in amazing ways. But had we waited for the ways to change before invoking the power of gratitude nothing would have ever happened. Help from a higher power does not come unbidden. Helping someone who doesn't ask is attempting to betray their free will; this is, by definition an invasion. An invasion is an attack. Love doesn't attack. Angels don't attack. Your higher power doesn't attack. By choosing to experience gratitude first, we are bidding this power to come and guide us and help us, to heal us and bring us back into balance and harmony in all ways. This old talk of mine goes into a lot of this, plus finds me in a particularly feisty mood! 🧙♂️❤️🧙♀️ Blessed be
- Use Lunar Momentum In Your Spells!
Most practitioners of magic agree that the two phases of the moon: waxing, and waning, are important in determining how one should time their spells. During the waxing moon (new to full) we do magic that is concerned mainly with creating, attracting, growing things we desire. During the waning phase (full to new) we do magic that has to do with elimination, banishing, releasing, diminishing and cleansing. New Moon or Dark Moon? What the lunar calendars call the new moon, we actually call the dark moon. In the old Craft, the new moon is the first visible crescent in the sky following the dark moon. The DARK moon lasts three days. During this phase, we avoid working most magic. We take these three days off. During the the dark moon, the moon is not showing herself; therefore, we do no invoking or casting during this three-day orb. Determining the Dark Moon is Simple Look up what any calendar calls the next new moon. The three-day orb that is the day before, during and after the new moon in the calendar. This three day period is the dark moon. The New Moon The first day after the dark moon is called the new moon. This is when you can see a definite first crescent in the sky. This is the first night of the waxing phase. The closer you can cast your waxing spell to this time, the more momentum your spell will carry. Most practitioners of magic agree that the two phases of the moon, waxing, and waning, are important in determining how one should time their spells. It is the BEGINNING of each phase that gives the most momentum in a spell. Waxing magic is best begun on or nearly after the new moon. Waning magic is best begun on, or nearly after the full moon. It's best to take a break during the dark moon (and also during any kind of eclipse) Use lunar momentum, and you'll soon be casting a wallop of a spell!
- Magical Principles
Methods come and go, but principles are eternal! I've studied and practiced magic for the majority of my life; but only started my "formal" magical training about forty years ago. In that time I've seen a great many types of magic. Some have worked well, while others have failed miserably. To paraphrase Aleister Crowley, Magic is the aim of religion, using the method of Science. This means that we desire repeatable, objective results. To achieve this, we must keep good records. Our results themselves are how we measure whether or not our magical operations are successful. There are many different methods and techniques of magic, but certain principles must always be followed in order for magic to be effective. “The man who grasps principles often can successfully handle his own methods; but the man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson Streamlined Magic It is my greatest desire to teach a streamlined system of magical working that brings consistent practical results using no blinds, no oaths, no superstitions and no time wasting nonsense. Magic, the art and science of the magi, is the creation of results in the physical plane using invisible tools. When magic is successful it can appear to the uninitiated as though it is supernatural. Magic is actually quite natural. In fact, we use magic every second of every day; but we most of us use it habitually and unconsciously. This explains why so many people tend to reap results in life that are the opposite of what their stated desires are. A thorough training in magic gives the opportunity to be the master of your life rather than its slave. That thorough training is what I aim to provide for all of my students. In the coming weeks and months, I plan on presenting many wonderfully potent techniques of magic. I hope that you will join me!
