The three virtues of the Magician

Ever since I started studying magic, I’ve apprehended everything in a very scattered way. No head and no toes. With time I started understanding in my own way how to sort everything in my head. This is how I arrange everything while I study. 

The Virtue of Knowing (Gnosis) 

The passive Virtue. It does not talk about knowledge in the superficial sense of the word. Knowing here is related to the acknowledgement, understanding and observing of the realities, not just cognitive learning. I divide this Virtue in two Hylegnosis, Aithergnosis.

Hylegnosis relates to the knowledge of all things material. Here the studies of Astronomy, Herbology, chemistry and others apply.

Aithergnosis relates to all that can be known and observed within the Astral Light (in Qabalistic terms, from Tipheret to Yesod). This virtue is related with Clairvoyance.

Meditations within this Virtue deal with passive observance.

The Virtue of Daring (Thaumaturgy)

The active Virtue is related to the performing of magical deeds. From the performing of visualization and manipulation of energy to the most complex ceremonial magic. Invoking, evoking, transfiguration, transmutation, projection and manipulation.

Meditations within this virtue deal with active visualizations, astral projection and creation.

The Virtue of Being (Theurgy)

Perhaps the most important Virtue, deals with the sublimation of the self and building the Body of Light. This is the true area of the Magician. It appears as the basis for the expansion and growing of Consciousness.

It’s tools include active and passive meditation, ceremonial magic and daily behaviour.

Spell for Summoning a Domestic Familiar 🐾

*Long Post~Elaborate*

“A domestic familiar is an animal that stays with the Witch, provides magickal assistance and represents sacred nature. A Familiar is an animal you have a psychic connection with, or one that will help you with magick. A domestic familiar is sacred, a representation of the Goddess and God in living form. As a Witch, or as a Pagan, you have a heritage of a connection with nature, a spiritual connection with animals. Your pet is not necessarily a domestic Familiar, so don’t think that you can force your hamster into magickal service for you.”

“You can’t just go buy an animal and assume it will help make you a stronger, more powerful Witch. They can be rescued, found or borrowed (an occasional visit from your neighbor’s cat might have more meaning than you think), Domestic Familiars can be a pigeon you feed every day, the dog you’ve had since you were a child, or a cat that visits at dinner time. As long as the animal is willing, it can be trained as a domestic Familiar.Your domestic Familiar will find you, when you are ready. Don’t think that you can hide a dog from the landlord, a rat from your parents, or a cat from your children. If you don’t have an animal in your life who may become your domestic Familiar, you can call one. But remember, it’s their choice to reveal themselves. You’ll know instinctively.”

The following is a spell I have devised and will try myself. (Note, I have taken some of the spell wording/following chant from modern media but honestly if the words work and the intention is in your heart, then it’ll work, whether you heard it on a show, read it in a book, or are using someone else’s words, your intentions must be pure. Then all you have to do is believe.)

What you will need:

Few pieces of paper & pen/pencil📃🖋(I say a few, for mistakes, we know it happens, lol)

Utensil to write in the dirt with (twig/opposite end of pen, etc. *writing with your finger is also acceptable👍🏼)

A mixture of the following herbs:

Sage: Healing, Protection, Wisdom, Wishes, Health, Immortality

Blessed Thistle: Spiritual Aid, Protection

Horehound: Mental Powers, Protection, Healing, Exorcism

Shepherd’s Purse: Spells & Rituals, Healing

Agrimony: Protection, Sleep

Yarrow: Divination, Psychic Powers, Courage, Love

Wormwood: Calling Spirits, Divination, Love, Protection, Psychic Powers

Dandelion: Calling spirits, Divination, Wishes

Spearmint Leaf: Augmenting Power, Healing Love, Luck, Strength, Sleep

Alfalfa Leaf: Magic (also, random, but used for: anti-hunger, as well as money/prosperity magic)

Bay Leaf: Visions, Dreams, Healing, Psychic Powers, Repels Negative Energy

White Willow Bark: Divination, Healing, Love, Protection

Kelp: Travel Protection (so your Familiar arrives safely😉)

Catnip: Friendship, Happiness, Joy, Love, Beauty (dont worry, if you dont want a cat, this is mainly for Friendship, Happiness and Joy, yes it can be used for cat magic but if you want a dog or a fish or reptile, this will still be good because you are trying to form a bond)

Sea Salt: Purification, Protection

Copy this sigil onto the paper📃 and into the dirt you stand on.🌱

Sigil Meaning: “My Domestic Familiar Will Find Me”

🙌🏼Repeat the following chant as you imagine your familiar finding you. (If you have a specific animal preference, picture it. Imagine your Familiar finding you and what kind of bond you want to have. Be clear that this is for your Domestic Familiar…you don’t want just any spirit showing up.🤷‍♀️)

“Spirits of the forest*, I pronounce my intentions to thee. I ask my hearts familiar Come forth and seek me and equals we will be. Not master and servant but familiar to familiar, to share our knowledge, our spirit, and our traits. To guide one another in this journey. Come forth sweet familiar, and equals we will be. So mote it be.”

*You may change “Forest” to, “Earth, Air, Water and Fire”~ if you do not have an idea or preference of what kind of Familiar you want. For example if you would like a land animal (cat, dog, rabbit, etc) you can use Forest/Earth, if you’d like a bird-Air, Fish- Water, Dragon (more like a reptile/lizard, sorry, we dont get cool dragons like in Game of Thrones, lol)-Fire, and so on.

*if you want an insect I’d research the correct element that is associated, could be air, could be earth, etc.. Always, Always do your research! No one is perfect and sometimes people get things wrong, but researching does help when you’re unsure!

Seal the spell by the corresponding action. For example, again if you have a *preference of animal, you will dispense the herbs in one of the following ways:

Earth- bury the elements🌱

Air- Throw them to the wind🌪

Water- Dispense in a body of water💧

Fire- Throw the elements into a fire**🕯

🔥**Always remember Fire Safety~especially since you’ll be outside, for this I’d say bring an ashtray to burn the paper safely and once the flame is completely out and the paper is ash *do not burn your fingers*, throw them to the wind**🔥

*If no preference of animal, choose the way that speaks to you most and dispense the herbs in that way.

☆Also, please be reasonable about what you ask, as well as reasonable about what you can keep in your home. I’m sorry but I can’t help you explain to your parent why you need a comodo dragon as your familiar…and also, sorry but, you will not have a unicorn, talking animal that tells jokes, or a hippogryph showing up, so again, keep it reasonable.😉

Once the spell is complete, let the spirits work, let the spell do its work~ keep an open heart and mind, understand your Familiar will not just appear instantaneously, give it time, understand there is an instinctual process and response and your Familiar will come. Something inside will tell you this is them.

🌟Remember when you do find your Familiar/your Familiar finds you, this is your equal, treat them as such, Never harm your Familiar. Do not force your Familiar to engage in magic with you, they know what they need and sometimes what you need. They will participate at will, but when they do you will know why they are you Familiar, you can just feel it in your heart.🌟

Listen, observe, Pay Attention to them. And your bond will be incomparable.💞

BLESSED BE, BELOVEDS. I WISH YOU ALL THE SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN YOUR JOURNEY TO FINDING YOUR FAMILIAR! PLEASE SHARE YOUR STORIES AS WELL! I’D LOVE TO HEAR THEM! 💐

As Above, So Below! 🌙🍃

Pentacle vs Pentagram

This is a VERY IMPORTANT post for you to understand. I’ve seen many people misuse these terms, including myself when I was first starting out. Even seasoned witches still incorrectly label them. To save you from that, I’ll tell you the differences between the two and dispel common misconceptions. 

First, you need to know that a pentacle looks like this:

And a pentagram looks like this:

Notice that the only difference is that a pentacle is a pentagram enclosed in a circle. Neither symbol is inherently evil. So if you look or hear the word pentagram and think “Oh, Satanic shit”, STOP IT! Both pentacles and pentagrams are used in white witchcraft. 

Pentacles are used for protection and power. Pentagrams are used for invoking and evoking. 

NOW! Let’s talk about inversions. 

Here is an inverted pentacle:

And here is an inverted pentagram:

Notice how the only difference between the two sets is that the singular point is now facing downwards. The circle with the inverted pentagram is still a pentaCLE. 

The meanings between inverted and upright is that the inverted is mainly used to represent dark magicks. There are some kinds of witches that use the inverted pentacle for other reasons, but unless you’re specifically associated with them, it’s not something you need to worry about. 

People who practice black magicks, work with demons, and/or follow the satanic path will commonly be seen sporting inverted stars. 

**DISCLAIMER  Keep in mind to refrain from judgement on this blog. You can send in any questions about black or white magicks, but if you are rude or judgmental about it, I won’t be able to answer or post it publicly.

How to Identify Your Deities

It can be difficult to figure out which deities are reaching out to you. I recommend waiting for a deity to come to you rather than the other way around, but both ways will work. 

If you want to work with a specific deity, do your research. You should know these things about each deity you want to work with:

-History

-Special days connected to them

-Any symbols that represent them

-Why these symbols represent them

-What kind of magick they can help with

-Any correspondences (herbs, colors, altar decorations, incense etc)

-Which background they come from (Greece, Roman, Chinese, etc)

You should also know WHY you want to work with them. It’s important to establish that commonality so that you don’t blindly reach out to deities. They don’t like that very much. Give them the respect they deserve. They are on another plane and have no reason or need to help you. You are the one asking for them to come, so show them you’re worthy of their attention. 

The same goes for deities that reach out to you first. They’re doing so for your benefit, not theirs. Sometimes deities come to you when you need their specific abilities and sometimes they just like you and are willing to help you through your life. 

There are many ways a deity may reach out to you. Dreams, physical happenings, and animals are a few of the ways. 

For example, I asked for a sign about which male deity wanted me to work with them. That night I dreamed of water. I knew it was Poseidon because I’ve long since felt a connection but I wasn’t sure until then. 

With Hecate, I was seeing animals I’d never seen before in my area. The owl was one that showed up a couple times. The last new moon as I was giving my offering, I accidentally burned myself with a lighter. This caused a crescent moon shape on my arm. Things like that can be little reminders that your deities are still with you. 

You need to be aware of the things around you to be able to identify when something seems different. 

If you notice something in your dream or IRL, look it up online to see if anything corresponds to a deity. This can be time consuming, but it’s worth it if you actually find your deity. 

Listen to your instinct. It’s usually correct. If you feel a deity calling to you, ask for a solid sign. If you receive one, begin building your relationship with them. (Research is a good way to do that :))

Luck Spell Jar Necklace

So I had found these cork bottle charms in the crafting aisles at Walmart. I made one a while back for protection and cleansing and used the remainder bottles for a pocket altar since they were the perfect size. I went back and bought more yesterday and today I decided to make a spell jar for luck! Now I’m sharing it with you all.

What You’ll Need:

a cork bottle charm or regular cork bottle/jar

a chain if you’re making a necklace

rosemary

chamomile

peppermint

dandelion & dandelion leaves (crushed up if using a small bottle)

clovers (3 leaf, 4 leaf, doesn’t matter!)

a dead ladybug

frankincense incense ashes

peppermint essential oil

green or white candle

It is worth noting that the ladybug I used was dead when I found it, don’t kill a ladybug to put it in your spell bottle. If you would prefer to leave the ladybug out of the bottle, that’s completely okay.

Be sure to cleanse your area and your bottle before putting it together. I used incense because it was easier to get inside the bottle.

The candle is only used to seal the bottle with its wax. I used a scented wax melt instead of a candle because it was green and it was basil & bergamot scented. If you have no green candle or wax melt, a white candle is all purpose and can be used as a substitute.

A Brief History of Herbalism

Herbs have been used for a very long time for their nutritious and healing properties. The use of herbs goes back to the Paleolithic peoples who were hunters and gatherers, relying on plants and animals for survival. Archeologists have recently hypothesized that paleolithic peoples ate more vegetables than meat, despite popular belief. There is also evidence that these early peoples were using medicinal plants, which helped them survive their harsh environment. This was the first instance of using plants in this way, but it was never written down until 5000 years ago when the Sumerians wrote their knowledge down onto clay tablets. Later, the Ancient Egyptians described over 850 medicinal herbs onto a papyrus scroll known as the “Ebers Papyrus”. Other ancient cultures were also developing their own herbal traditions. The Chinese Emperor Chi’en Nung and the Greek Hippocrates were two notable influences on this growing tradition. Hippocrates in particular was known as the “Father of Modern Medicine”. He used many herbs in his practice, and a lot of his medical theories have been proven in modern medical practice. During the Middle Ages, herbalism continued to grow in the monasteries, where the monks often kept gardens and studied herbs. These monks were also responsible for translating earlier texts on herbalism from the ancient writings of the Arabs and Greco-Romans. The span of time between the 15th and 17th centuries was responsible for the biggest boom in herbalism thus far in history. This was a time when books were being published on the subject, and herbal knowledge was becoming more widespread. Almost every household had a book on herbal remedies that could be found easily in the backyard. One significant contributor to this movement was Nicholas Culpeper, who was a very prominent figure in the medical community of the time. He believed that the power of herbs should be available to all, including the lower class. He was often mocked by the upper class for his opinions. In the United States, herbalism came to prominence in the late 19th century. The Council of Medical Education sought to standardize medical education, and shut down many schools that didn’t meet their requirements. A lot of schools that provided education on traditional herbal medicine were shut down or forced to remove classes involving traditional herbal medicine as a result. The world today is quite different than this dark time in our herbal history. Herbalism seems to be making a comeback, and we are seeing a resurgence of herbal books and practices. Along with the resurgence of herbalism in the US, we are also becoming aware of and acknowledging different herbal traditions around the world. I will cover a few of those traditions now. African Herbal Medicine is widespread throughout the continent, and it is believed that most of the population uses it for their primary health care. The use of herbalism in this high capacity is due to the poor financial situation of many of the African peoples. Another reason is that traditional medicinal healers are often the most accessible to these peoples. In this tradition, herbal healers are found in almost every town. There have been recent studies by western herbalists of the uses of traditional plants in African herbal medicine. These studies aim to explore possible uses for medicinal plants in modern medicine. Herbalism is also an extremely important part of Native American culture. In this culture, there is a specific emphasis on cleansing and purifying the body. One of the most widespread examples of this practice is through smudging. Though the herbs are not ingested, the smoke is used to cleanse spaces and objects, and is extremely important to Native American Shamanic traditions. Shamans are in fact the main source of Native American Herbalism. They are the healers of the tribes, and carry knowledge of healing plants from their ancestors. Traditional Chinese Medicine has long included a study of medicinal herbs along with other holistic practices such as cupping, acupuncture, massage and dietary therapy. Though it has recently taken on some characteristics of western medicine, it is still a very characteristic Chinese practice. Though many have found traditional Chinese medicine helpful to their overall health, it is still considered to be a pseudoscience in much of the modern world. India has a traditional herbal medicine system called Ayurvedic Medicine. This system of alternative medicine is said to have been brought to the Indian people from the God Ayurveda, patron of doctors. It was through this communication that the Indian people became aware of how to use plants for medicinal purposes. This is a very ancient form of herbal medicine that is still used today. The last form of herbal medicine I would like to talk about is the Jamu tradition that originates in Indonesia. This system is thought to have originated 1300 years ago, and involves using a mortar and pestle to grind up herbs and use them to create herbal drinks that cure ailments. Historians believe this form of herbal medicine may have been influenced by the Ayurvedic System from India, but there are quite a few plants on the Java island that are not found in India. This medicine practice uses mostly herbs, but some animals are used as well. As you can see, herbal medicine and herbalism has been prolific throughout history! Herbs and spices are a wonderful healing tool that is making a comeback. Though herbs can be a great help, it is still important to realize that herbs cannot fix all ailments. Please see a doctor for all serious health matters.
