So You Wanna Astral Project!

I’ve been astral projecting for a long time now, and I do it at least 4 times a week, probably more. I think I have a problem. Anyway. Here are a few tips on what to do, what not to do, etc for all ya’ll trying to get into astral travel. A few of the things have links for places to find more information, ideas, and stuff.

1. You’re Captain America- get yoself a shield. I use 2 shields when I project, both protective spirals. Basically, when you’re projecting your body is left unprotected by your spirit so you need something else to protect you. Use any shield you like. I use one that protects my body from anything harmful (visualised as rose petals swirling around me- it just seemed right) and another that repels anything harmful away from me (visualised as bright lights, almost painful to look at). Sometimes, when I get bad vibes, I’ll use more and more until I feel safe. LAYER LAYER LAYER. A shield can only do one thing at a time, so if you want multiple protective actions then use more than one. You’ll know when you’ve got enough, as when you try to project you’ll feel safer.

2. Failure is ok. Honestly, I couldn’t project last night. It was hard and my brain just couldn’t get the focus and I couldn’t visualise anything. It just didn’t work, and that’s ok. Sometimes it’ll be too much for you, don’t force anything or beat yourself up over it. Stop what you’re doing, stretch your muscles and try again later. I usually wait at least until the next night (I always project at night) when I’ve found something a little too difficult. It gives me time to rest and to do some grounding. 

3. You’re going into Narnia. What does that mean??- imagine a door! I spent a long time trying and trying to project into the astral realm until I realised that I simply had to open a door!! When I project, I visualise a white void full of different doors to different places on the astral realm, I walk around and find my own door or draw it to me. I turn the handle, walk through and BOOM astral realm. This can take a while and it’s hard at first, when I first tried this method I found the door, put my hand on the handle and got thrown out back into my body again. Take your time, practice and you’ll get there. 

4. FFS DON’T GET LOST. When you first manage to get through the door, don’t go too far. Take your time exploring what’s around you, and anyway, it’s more fun to find every little thing that’s in the astral than just barrelling through at 100000mph and missing it. I found one of my spirit companions, A, while slowly going through this tiny patch of forest that exists in my plane. If you do go a little far, which I have done before, I looked at my wrist and found a red string wrapped around it. I followed the string back to the door. Simple.

5. Block out everything. I use white noise of a thunder storm for this, but anything will do. ‘8 Hours of’ is a good youtube channel with lots of different options for white noise. Don’t astral project for the 8 hours, but the sounds are awesome and there’s no ads that’ll interupt you. 

6. Find a mirror. Not because you’re the bloody evil queen in Snow White, but because you’ll want to know what you’re astral form looks like. Go searching, use your mind’s “eye” and listen for it, you’ll know where it is. Stand in front of it and look. Don’t be afraid of what you see, your astral form might be quite different from your physical one. As someone who’s agender, my astral form is completely androgynous, but also has giant horns and 6 ENORMOUS black wings that can wrap around me and form some sort of cloak-dress-robe-thing. Yuup, it was a surprise. Just accept that this is your form, and as it’s based on your spirit, you’ll probably like it no matter what.

7. Have any deities?? You might meet them here. I worship the gaelic goddess Brighid, as well as Persephone and Hades and I’ve met them when astral projecting a few times. You can spend time with them in the astral, get to know them and even give them offerings. There is a huge area of my astral plane that is completely dead- like Pride Rock under Scar dead- and I’m currently trying to regrow it. I’ve so far grown a huge oak tree in the centre and made a pasture for Brighid as she likes to keep cattle. Hades, for some reason, wants a massive waterfall and Persephone just wants flowers- which I’ll be doing for them soon. I’ve also seen Mac Lir and Poseidon walking together off on the horizon of the ocean. I just let them do their thing. 

8. Don’t upset Brendon Urie- CLOSE THE GODDAMN DOOR! You enter the astral through a door, close it behind you so that nothing gets out. When you leave, close the door extra carefully, don’t look back at it as you walk away. Close it and then leave. 

9. Be careful when you’re out. When you re-enter your body it may feel weird, you might get pins-and-needles or your limbs may feel heavy or numb. Just sit or lay there for a while, give yourself time to ground and get comfortable in your body again, don’t sit up or start walking about the moment you leave the astral. Let your shields come down ONLY when you’re certain you’ve completely re-entered your body. Stretch a little and then get up. Go about your day, have a nap, go to bed, whatever you want to do. 

Feel free to add your own!!!!

My Death Witch/Spirit Worker Masterpost

Hey everyone! This is my list of resources I have made over the course of the existence of this blog, pertaining specifically to death witchcraft and spirit work. (EDIT: I also added divination because it is such a vital part of my own practice) I hope it helps some of you, and provides a resource for you to use! I’ve also thrown in my death work stuff as well. These posts are all mine, coming from separate blogs at times ( @shipping-the-gods , @the-daily-diviner, and @tarnished-headstone (@witchthatiam/@lonesome-bones are the names of this blog from a while ago)); none of these blogs are active. The only blogs I am active on are @shroud-of-roses and @breathing-in-gilded-dust (dodekatheism blog). 

Please note you can do these three practices individually, I just choose to put them together for my own personal practice! Pick what you like and use it if you desire.  

Thanks, 

Olivia

Astral Guide: Starter Pack

Astral traveling has been a part of my path since the first day I started and has only grown. I am able to meet and speak with the spirits and gods I work with, do spell work, do healing, and a large amount of other work in the astral. I worked almost every night before bed, unknowingly to me at first, to get where I am at now. I was going to make a long “how to” on astral travel, but simplicity is better. If you have any questions or need me to elaborate on anything, please don’t be hesitant to send me an ask. I could write ten pages to better explain how I work in the astral but no one will read that, so asking for me to elaborate is definitely fine with me!

Before you start:

Astral traveling does not equal astral projection.

In astral projection you fully leave your body but while astral traveling you do not.

In astral projection you view everything with crystal clear imagery but while astral traveling you do not.

Have you ever done a guided meditation? Did you know you were pretty much astrally traveling? In fact, if you have never astrally traveled before, try out a guided meditation so you can get an idea of what you should be “seeing” in your mind’s eye. The next step will be to drop the guided meditation and do it for yourself.

First, learn how to visualize. If you can’t visualize, you can’t travel in the astral. There are no ways around it. This website is the most clear and concise way to learn how to visualize. The level three exercise there is what you will need to learn how to do in order to travel in the astral. If you have a hard time visualizing, start at the level one exercise. Once you have learned how to visualize, try the exercise below.

Easy starter method for dipping your toes into astral traveling:

Make sure you are comfortable and in a room where you will not be distracted

Set up the protection you need around you

Ask any spirits you want to accompany you to do so

Think of what you want to do in the astral. If you want to meet a spirit, specify that. If you just want to explore, you don’t have to think about what you want to do and you can just enjoy exploring. 

Get on YouTube and look up “forest sounds”. Find one you like and put it on with headphones.

Close your eyes, ground, center, breathe - do whatever you do to get into a meditative state.

Now start to imagine that you’re in a forest. The sounds you are hearing from the video are the sounds the forest is making.

Walk around and explore. As you continue, stop forcing your imagination to see where you’re going and start letting your mind’s eye truly start viewing where you are at on it’s own. If you wanted to meet a spirit there, ask it to meet you there. Don’t worry if you don’t end up seeing the spirit you want to meet there. Sometimes they will be around just through a feeling and will want to let you explore the astral on your own without visually distracting you.

When you feel you’re done, thank any spirits that were involved with the process (if they were) and wiggle your fingers and toes. Open your eyes and head off to eat or drink something to ground yourself.

Yes, that’s literally it. It is truly that simple. Get used to visualization and get used to wandering around a space in the astral you have created. For instance, the forest you were just in within that exercise is yours. These are the foundations you need to learn and get comfortable with. Soon you can visit places that truly exist in the astral, rather than creations of your own.

What can you do in the astral?

You can create a sanctuary, visit with spirits, heal your own energy - the amount of things you can do is unlimited. Do you want to do a spell in the astral? Craft the ingredients out of the energy around you. Yes, this seriously works! Spells done in the astral are just as potent (if not more potent, if you know what you’re doing) than spells we do on our physical plane. The most important thing is to not doubt what you are doing and have true intent. I have done some heavy spell work in the astral that worked extremely well to gain results on our physical realm. The exciting thing about doing spells in the astral is that you can actually have your spirit companions or gods visually next to you to aid you. You can also craft up offerings and altar spaces for your gods and spirit companions there. You are not limited while you are in the astral. You can take on any form you want in the astral (this is called your vehicle). You can surround yourself with the elements and weather you want in the astral. Do you need it to be storming while you do a spell? You can make it storm. The stronger your visualization skills are, the more you can do. That’s why you have to work at it often. Within your own created space, you can allow spirits to visit. You can ward your sanctuary and allow your spiritual guides and friends to visit. There are no limits! Just be smart about it.

Useful links to further illustrate what I’m talking about:

How to communicate with spirits, gods, and other unseen

Create an astral temple

Tips and extras:

Don’t doubt what you see

Work at it everyday

Make use of herbs of crystals that will aid in visualization 

Always set up protection beforehand

Also set up protection around your sanctuary if you build one

Ask your gods or any spirits you trust to guide you as you travel

Don’t limit yourself to what you can do there

When traveling outside of a space you created yourself (aka the whole wide world of the astral), tread carefully and be smart.

Energy Work: Energy breathing

Energy breathing is an energy working technique that is used to bring energy into your body, and expel negative energy from the inside. This breathing technique can also be used in order to focus your mind, while you go through the process of also allowing your energetic flow to be strengthened, and cleansed throughout your body.  This technique is very simple, and can be done anywhere at anytime and can be combined with the practices of centering, and grounding.

1) Begin this practice by sitting, standing or laying in a relaxing position, then proceed to close your eyes.

2) Visualize the energy flowing throughout the inside of your body as a blue mist.

3) Now begin deep breathing, Inhale through your nose, and exhale through your mouth. As you do this visualize breathing in more bright blue mist on your inhale, and on exhale blowing out black dark smoke. On inhale you are going to want to breathe in fully expanding all parts of the lungs, and on exhale you are also going to want to empty your lungs as much as you can. With every breath visualize your energy as blue mist moving throughout your body.

4) Continue to do this for an extended period of time while visualizing this imagery as clearly as you can in your mind.

Witchcraft Series: Types of Witches - Nocturnal Witch

noc·tur·nal -  done, occurring, or active at night

What is a Nocturnal Witch?

A Nocturnal Witch is a witch that works and draws power from the night, from the darkness that surrounds them. A Nocturnal Witch is not someone that solely practices their craft in the night.

Is this a left handed path?

Not generally no.

I do spells at night, am I a Nocturnal Witch?

No. There’s a difference from doing spells at night and drawing energy from the night to do spells. Nocturnal witches primarily work at night, yes, but when they do a spell or something of the sort (or just need a bit of energy) they take energy from the darkness that surrounds them. They work with things that are associated with the night and darkness. 

I’m a Nocturnal Witch, does all my witchy business have to occur at night?

No, but remember Nocturnal Witches are mostly active at night. If you can find a completly dark, no sun lit room, then you can do your witchy business at 3 in the afternoon because your surroundings are dark and you can draw the power from that. 

I want to become a Nocturnal Witch, where do I start?

Energy work. You need to be able to draw energies from the night and the darkness. While you work on that you can begin researching things associated with the night (i.e deities, colors, animals, lunar corresponds, etc…). 

Can I cast any kind of spell at night?

Yes. Here’s a list of what is at it’s strongest during each lunar phase:

New Moon: new beginnings, love spells, job/wealth spells, healing,  protection, shadow work

Waxing Moon: constructive magic, success, relationships

First Quarter: peace/balance, cleaning, positive energy

Waxing Gibbous: glamour, attraction, getting things done, inviting in new energies 

Full Moon: divination, protection, love, energy work, legal matters, attracting wealth/luck, prophetic dreams

Waning Gibbous: letting go, cleansing, undoing bindings

Last Quarter: banishing, letting go

Waning Crescent: banishing, healing, rest, peace, justice 

If you have any other questions that this post didn’t answer you can send me an ask here (x).

Crow’s Warding Ritual

This is the first ritual that I have created so there might be some revisions as I perfect it over time, but I wanted to get it out here so that other witches can see it and draw inspiration from it or give me some helpful tips on ways to really strengthen it.

Supplies

Chalice or any other cup

Water

Salt

Black Tourmaline (raw or tumbled)

A crystal that you feel represents you

Selenite (I used my wand)

Incense/Sage

Pen and Paper

Creating the Sigil

When I was originally planning this ritual, I was going to use salt water and draw the sigil I created on the walls, windows, mirrors, and above the doorframes. But as it turns out, the sigils didn’t exactly fade away and I can’t really have sigils visible on all of the walls or it would freak my family out. So plan B. 

I used the phrase “Anyone that I approve of in this house will be protected from any entity that I deem harmful.” I know it’s a mouthful, but I wanted the people I live with to be protected too. After removing all of the vowels and double consonants, I used my sigil creation chart to convert the letters to numbers then went around my sigil wheel to get the sigil that I used. 

Charging the Water

You can fill your cup up with any water you wish to use. I used regular tap water. I then put my cup behind my sigil and created a circle around them with salt and placed my black tourmaline and amethyst on the salt circle. I put my selenite wand behind everything to get everything charging. I let that sit while I lit my white sage incense in all of the rooms I planned on warding and centered and grounded.

Warding

After I finished centering, I put the tourmaline and the sigil in my pocket, grabbed the water, and started at one side of my house. Note: Before you actually begin open one window so any negativity has an exit.  I would dip my fingers in the water, trace the doorframe, then put my hand (palm forward) against the door, and press my energy into it while thinking the phrase used for the sigil. I repeated this for all doorframes, windows, and mirrors. When it came to walls, ceilings, and floors, I would dip my fingers in the water and focus my intent as I flicked the water around. After I went through the whole house, I used my selenite wand to “activate” it. I visualized energy coming from the end and powering up the water lines; forcing them to spread until all of the walls, floors, and ceilings were covered in a protective energy. I said my intent loudly, which was kind of improvised but here’s how it pretty much went:

“I activate my ward to keep everyone that I approve of in this house safe from what I deem harmful. Any negativity that is here may proceed to the window and exit this house; never to return unless given explicit permission.”

After you feel that everything is properly warded, close the window and wave your wand over it saying:

“I seal this exit which has now become warded. None shall enter here.”

It’s important to notify that the warding is finished. I don’t have a bell or anything so I just said that the ward is completed. 

Cleanup

I threw away the salt that I used just because I didn’t want to mix salt that might have absorbed some energies with the regular salt. I put my crystals away in my little witches box and just dumbed the water down the drain. If any incense is still burning, just let it finish then dispose of the ashes, I keep my ashes so I just put them in my jar. I burnt the sigil afterwards and I just threw away the ashes. 

Re-Energizing

This requires a lot of energy work so you’ll be worn out afterwards. I know I am. You can either ground again or, what I did, make yourself a cup of tea and a little snack just to balance yourself out. 

Notes

You can add some extra oomph by crystal infused water, using moon water, or adding herbs to your water.

You can also strengthen your wards by doing them according to day and time correspondences. 

If you’re using sage instead of incense, you can just waft it around your house instead of letting it sit and burn.

Don’t forget about the floor and ceilings.

Make sure that the energy is malleable instead of rigid. Rigid things break a lot easier.

When activating your ward, be sure to envision the energy filling up the room too.

If anyone would like to learn about anything mentioned in this post, just shoot me a pm or ask!

🐚🍃 About astral projection + exercises 🍃🐚

Astral projection and dreams

When we dream, we have out-of-body experiences on the astral plane. Conscious astral projection involves getting into a meditative state, moving your astral body out of your physical body, and traveling around on the astral plane.

Astral Body

Between you as spirit and your physical body there is an intermediate body known as your astral body. It is lighter and more changeable than your physical body. But the astral body has more shape and density than pure spirit. Your astral body may often be recognizable as your human form, but it can also change appearance, shift shapes, and do fun things like moving through walls.

Astral Plane

The world between the physical and spiritual world is known as the astral plane, or the astral. While it is commonly referred to in the singular as the astral plane, there are actually many different levels of the astral, or astral planes. We move through these astral planes in our dreams.

Astral Travel

The astral world is much more fluid than the physical world. Astral travel is not bound by the limitations of time and space. You can visit different dimensions and travel to past or future experiences on the astral. For many people, it is also easier to connect with deceased loved ones on the astral.

Astral planes vary from the ordinary, to the phantasmagorical, to the divine. Defying easy definition, the astral planes intersect with both physical reality and the symbolic realms of the dream world. Astral travel can take you to dimensions beyond your imagination.

Astral Dream Experiences

Your astral body plays a key role in creating new developments which have not yet manifested in your physical life. The astral is like a giant laboratory in which you experiment with your life and your creations.

The astral can also offer great insight, as it allows you to come at things from a different angle. Astral dream experiences allow you to see things from a different perspective than your normal awareness. As a result, astral dreams can be especially useful for working on situations that–for one reason or another–may be difficult to face directly in daily life.

Astral Projection Meditation

Astral projection typically involves getting into a meditative state so you can consciously move your astral body out of your physical body. With practice, astral projection allows you to develop greater awareness of out-of-body and astral experiences.

These are simple directions for an astral meditation that is suitable for beginners…

ASTRAL PROJECTION EXERCISE:

Preparing the Space, Preparing Yourself…

Find a quiet, comfortable place for yourself–where you will not be disturbed. Create a relaxing atmosphere. You may want to light a candle, burn incense, or play some quiet, soothing music in the background. Begin to relax in general. Take some deep breaths and perhaps do some light stretching. Sit upright in a comfortable position with an open posture.

Part I: Aura Meditation

Get yourself centered and grounded by doing the Aura Meditation in How to Meditate. You will also need to repeat this after your astral projection meditation.

Notice how you experience yourself before doing the Astral Projection exercise. Then close your eyes and focus your attention inward…

Part II: Astral Projection Meditation

Be aware of your body. Notice how you experience the density of your physical body. Then be aware of your aura about an arm’s length all the way around your body. Notice how you experience the lightness of your spiritual energy. Then start to open up your awareness of an intermediate body between your physical body and you as spirit. Notice how you experience the vibration of your astral body.

Allow yourself to shift your awareness to your astral body. Be present in your astral body.

Float your astral body up to a corner of the room. Be present in your astral body in that upper corner of the room. From that upper corner of the room, be aware of your physical body down below you, sitting in the chair. Notice how you experience your physical body down below you.

Then float your astral body up through the ceiling and be on the roof of your building. Be aware of your astral body standing on the roof of your building. On the roof, move around a bit in your astral body. Notice how you experience being in your astral body. Be aware of the world around from the roof of your building. Notice how you experience the world from your astral body.

Then bring your astral body down through the roof and be in an upper corner of the room again. From the upper corner of the room, notice your physical body sitting in the chair below you.

Float your astral body above your physical body. Notice what it’s like to be above your physical body. Then gently lower yourself down into your physical body. First be aware of being in your astral body in your physical body. Then allow yourself to shift your awareness to your physical body itself. Allow yourself to come back fully into your physical body.

Part III: Repeat the Aura Meditation

Get yourself centered and grounded by doing the Aura Meditation in How to Meditate. Draw all of your energy back from above you. Feel your feet on the floor. Feel your legs, torso, arms, neck and head. Be aware of your aura an arm’s length around your body. Notice what it’s like to be grounded back in your body.

When you feel ready, take a few deep breaths, gently open your eyes, and slowly begin to move. Notice how you experience yourself after doing the Astral Projection exercise. Give yourself some time to integrate this experience and enjoy being relaxed before moving on to other activities. (Especially after you first start practicing this meditation–you may want to journal your experience, have a cup of tea, or go for a quiet walk.)

If you practice astral meditation on a regular basis, it will become easier to do and your out-of-body experiences will gradually become clearer. - Oakwulf

Blessings to all of you! 

Lots of love,

A Way to Astral Project

Astral projection is a spiritual, almost trance-like, state of meditation where you guide your astral body (sort of in between your physical body and your spiritual self) lifts out of your physical body. It allows you to travel through space and time, see spirits, meet up with other projectors, and even enter into people’s dreams to contact them. 

It can also be dangerous if you don’t ask your guide to help protect you, or you don’t shield yourself. Here is a post I’ve made on shielding. 

Below is one possible and usually effective way to projecting. It takes practice, like all meditation, so just keep trying if it doesn’t work! Or intuitively modify the method.

Choose the time best for you: Usually the morning or after a nap is the most effective, because you can wake up your mind, but your body has less sensation and is therefore easier to leave. This is something that will be different for everyone, so figure out what works for you!

Lie down in a quiet space: Make sure no one with interrupt you (such interruption will ground you right back to the physical plane). Darken the room so your eyes aren’t distracted with bright lights. Be relaxed and comfortable, trying to minimize physical sensation. Also, have a blanket over yourself so you don’t get cold. Even on a warm day this might be needed.

Shield yourself: The link is above in the description on how to. I would ward your astral body and physical body with a white light, perhaps using the blanket and imagining that it is protecting your body with light. Worst case scenario would be for a negative spirit to use your body when you leave it to project. Also ask your guide(s), even if you don’t know their names, to protect you with pure intentions and from all negativity. 

Relax your body: Start by focusing on your breathing, then move through your muscle groups and imagine each place of tension disappearing. Sometime a healing light, and imagining that, will help. You can work up or down on  your body. Just relax as best you know how. Breathe away any thoughts too. Notice them, then just let them go with an exhale. A few minutes of this will clear your mind. But, it is natural for some thoughts to stay, and that’s okay! It won’t stop you from projecting, it just means that you’re human.

Let your mind wander and focus on a single points in your body: A small point, like your hand, heart, a toe, etc. Focus on this one point and let the rest of your body naturally fall into a sleep like state. 

Start to visualize your body and feel it’s presence: It’s possible to see or imagine yourself looking different than your physical self at this point. Just accept what you feel and look like.

Flex your body parts mentally: This means that you don’t move any part of your body, but you image it moving until you can feel it vividly. This is your astral body moving. Slowly “move” more parts of your body.

Enter your resonation/vibrational state: All spirits, atoms, particles, energies, etc vibrate with certain frequencies. Start to pay attention to your astral self and you’ll probably, by this point, be feeling a subtle vibration. Let it build until it’s incredibly powerful. If you don’t feel the vibration yet, then continue the above step until you do. Audio and visual hallucinations are common here, like extremely loud sounds or patterns that your eyes are seeing. These aren’t harmful in any way. The most difficult part of the vibration is combating fear. It is overwhelming, especially the first time, because you are transcending the physical plane. Just relax into it and let it flow over you. It will not harm you.

Leave your body: Use your mind to lift out of your body, using the vibration to increase the ability to do so. Anyone can do this, but you need to trust yourself. Don’t allow yourself to doubt your ability, just have faith even for a few moments that you can leave your body, visualize it, then look back at your physical body once you are out of it. You can practice by just lifting a leg or arm out of your body first. Don’t expect a full projection on your first try! Just practice what it feels like until you understand your own astral self and how to have it leave your body, even if just in parts. 

Explore: Be careful and take a guide with you. You can go anywhere now, besides some “restricted sections” (like “Heaven,” other people’s Akashic records, the Tree of Life, etc). If you ever feel threatened then just follow a silver cord back to your body. It should be connected to you around stomach. It is always there as soon as you focus on it. You can access your Akashic records, meet up with spirits or other projectors, go back in time (like literally see historical or future events), or interact in a plane you design for yourself, like a sanctum or astral altar. 

Return to your body: Just imagine yourself going back and you will. You can also let the silver cord pull you or your guides guide you back into your body. If you see your physical self, then just align yourself and fall back into your body. Then slowly wiggle toes and fingers until sensation comes back. Don’t get up until you feel fully present, because you could be dizzy or lightheaded.

I’ll add that CONSCIOUSLY RETURNING TO YOUR BODY is good because it helps you actually the remember the experience in full rather than a fragmented dream.  Great post!  

[sopherielspeaks]

Yes, definitely! Having a conscious intention with what to remember and how to get back is key. It not only helps you remember it, but also keeps you safer so you don’t attract ill spirits into your space on the return.

✨💫🌙LUCID DREAMING TIPS BY A WITCH/PSYCHOLOGY STUDENT🌙💫✨

On becoming lucid:

💫keep a dream journal. This one is at least 80% of what’s going to get you to achieve lucid dreams. Record every dream you have when you wake up, and read over all your dreams at the end of each week. Find patterns, know your dreams inside out.

💫reality checks. Ask yourself throughout the day “am I dreaming?” Find something that taps you into reality, maybe one of your tattoos or a piece of jewelry you wear daily. Ask yourself if you’re dreaming, check if it’s there, then assess that you are awake. Eventually you will do this in your dreams, and you will become lucid.

💫meditation. This will increase your attention and focus and help you better tap into your subconscious. You will also achieve deeper sleep, which means better, longer R.E.M. Cycles.

💫wake yourself up. If you can’t remember your dreams, or you’ve been trying these tips for longer than a month with no success, you may need to interrupt your R.E.M. cycle. Set an alarm for the middle of the night or early in the morning. Just make sure you’ve been sleeping for at least 4 hrs before the alarm goes off. Record your dream when you wake up. It will be clearer in your mind because you will not have passed your R.E.M. cycle. Immediately go back to sleep. Try to visualize a scene as you fall back to sleep. Imagine yourself dreaming. You will be more likely to become lucid after a R.E.M. interruption.

Witchcraft for lucidity:

🌙mugwort(ingested through tea or used in spells)

🌙chamomile

🌙amethyst

🌙lavender

🌙rosemary

On staying lucid:

✨calm down. When you become lucid, your subconscious self will probably start freaking out a bit. Try your best to calm yourself. Breath. Say to yourself “I am safe. I am in control of this dream,” until your anxieties leave you.

✨spin. If you feel yourself waking up as soon as you become lucid(very common), try to spin your body around. Twirl in a circle or jump really high. Do some erratic movement and it will ground you in the dream.

Sweet dreams! 🌙💫✨

Hello! Here’s another installment of my huge #annobib series of book recommendations. 

This article focuses on books about spirit work in particular! If you’re at all interested in working with spirits, do peruse these works - you may find something you like!

Spirit Conjuring for Witches, by Frater Barrabbas. Frater B. is a very learned and rather famous magician and witch. This book is mostly geared towards Wicca, but even if you’re not Wiccan, his techniques are innovative and interesting, many utterly unlike anything I’ve seen elsewhere! 

Familiar Spirits, by Donald Tyson. Though geared towards ceremonialists, any practitioner can likely learn a thing or two from Tyson’s interesting stroll through the whys and wherefores of spirit work and thoughtform creation. This is by far the best book I’ve seen on the topic of familiar spirits.

Egregores, by Mark Stavish. The only book I’m aware of that focuses specifically on egregores, or human-crafted spirits that form from our endeavors and organizations. This book is not without it’s problems, though - it often takes a sensationalist tone, and can be a bit conspiracy-mongering. Still a good read!

The Witch’s Book of Spirits, by Devin Hunter. Mr. Hunter is always a treat, and does not disappoint here, with his easily-understood explanations of various spirit phenomenon and entities, how to contact and manage relationships with them. Best for beginners!

Spirit Speak, by Ivo Dominguez. An extremely dense and detailed book. Not recommended for beginners, but excellent for intermediate or advanced spiritworkers interested in taking their magick to the next level. Mr. Dominguez clearly has a great deal of experience to share.

Demons and Spirits of the Land, by Claude Lecouteux. This is another more advanced book, offering historical perspectives on land-spirits (also known as genius loci). It reads like a history textbook, not going to lie! But, it’s worth picking up!

Fairies: A Guide to the Celtic Fair Folk, by Morgan Daimler. Hands down, this is the best book I’ve found about the Gentry, and will get you started towards understanding Them. Daimler, as the title suggests, writes from a Celtic perspective, though.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you’ll have a glance at some of these excellent books! Spiritwork is important to many of us, and if it interests you, why not explore more?

Please check out the rest of my huge series of book recommendation lists here on my blog - they’re all tagged #annobib! 

Also, if you decide to purchase any of these books, and you do it through the above links provided, I get some pocket money! I, of course, would love that, and I totally promise not to spend it all on energy drinks!

I’m reading Devin Hunter’s book right now and love it.

Obscure Gods: Oneiroi

Thee I invoke, blessed power of Oneiroi divine, messengers of future fates, swift wings are thine. Great source of oracles to humankind, when stealing soft and whispering to the mind, through sleep’s sweet silence, and gloom of night… - The Orphic Hymn to the Oneiroi, trans. Taylor.

These are the children of Nyx or Erebos and Nyx or even of Hypnos (Sleep). Their names vary, but the most common attribution are Morpheus, Ikelos-Phobetor, and Phantasos. And of course there is also the Dream God who is simply Oneiros.  

Morpheus translates as “Form, Shape,” and he is the most well known of these Daemones, thanks in part to Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series. Phantasos means “imagine.” Ikelos suggests resemblance. Phobetor has the root of phobia - fear. Another lesser known name for  one of the Oneiroi is Ephialtes (On-Leaper), and he brings nightmares and can be described as more an incubus than a dream. Ovid calls the Oneiroi (Latin, Somnia) countless as grain at harvest or sand on the shore.

The Oneiroi are described with bird like turns of phrase by Homer. They perch, swoop, and have great wings. Dreams pass from the land of dreams via a gate of horn or one of ivory. The ivory gate turns the Dreams into lies, but the Dreams that come through the horn gate are true.  Sometimes They work on behalf of the Gods, and other times they seem free agents.

They are described by one fragment as ‘Rock-sheltered’ and we are told that they dwell under a rock. They were said to live in a cave on Lemnos, or else in the Demos Oneiroi, or at the gates of Hades.

Aeschylus tells us that Clytemnestra was haunted by Oneiroi and that they drove her to leave offerings to her dead husband. Aesop reminds us that Zeus created the prophetic Dreams during an argument with Apollo that we might know something True, and that He created the other Dreams afterward.

Oneiros is described wearing a black and white robes, holding a horn in one hand, lounging relaxed.

Pausanias includes a description of a statue of Oneiros (Dream) in his telling of the Sanctuary of Asklepios in Sikyon. The Oneiroi were prayed toward for good dreams, for true dreams, to keep the nightmares at bay. They seem to have been a central participant in the ritual of dream incubation, in which a person seeking healing would sleep in the sanctuary of Asklepios and receive dreams with healing instructions.

There are numerous philosophical ideas about the oneiroi. Artemidoros claimed that moral rectitude would not be visited by irrational fantasies but would only have clear and true dreams. He separates the dreams into enhypnia (anxiety dreams and wishful dreams) and oneiroi (true dreams). He pulled this idea largely from the Stoics. He further divided oneiroi into two categories: those that predict the future directly and those who imply it. He is not the only person to divide dreams thus, but it is uncertain where the origin lay.

Finding Motivation Spell

As requested, one of my witch babies on my Discord server needed a spell for motivation to get up and get moving.  Staying motivated can be hard, but this simple spell will pry you up from the depths of blankets and pillows, lift your spirits, and get your goals locked in mind.

YOU WILL REQUIRE

–a stick of your favorite incense –a candle

SPELLWORK

1. First light your incense and candle.

2.  Now write on a full size sheet of paper what you need accomplished. 

3.  Place your cauldron or pot in front of you. Hold the paper in one hand and the incense in your power hand. Focus on what you wrote on the paper and swirl the incense around the paper in a clockwise motion. When you are ready to begin place your incense in its holder.

4.  Fold the paper three or four times toward you and light one corner on fire. You can immediately drop the paper into the cauldron or you can hold it until it burns halfway and then drop it in. Once the fire is in the cauldron say: 

Remove this feeling of tired and drained I desire to feel refreshed as a summer rain To move quickly and with purpose, I request From here on out laziness will suppress My fingers become nimble and quick As the fire burns from this candlestick This spell harms none And motivates one As I will it, so shall it be! 

5.  Look into your cauldron and make sure all pieces of paper are burned.  There can be NO pieces of paper left only ashes. So, thoroughly burn any pieces that remain intact. Repeat this spell while burning any extra pieces of paper.  Then collect the ashes in your hand and either step outside or blow the pieces into the wind through a window.

“BUT I CAN’T BURN ANYTHING” SPELL ALTERNATIVE

If you cannot burn the paper, rip it into tiny, tiny, tiny pieces while saying the spell.  You can release those pieces of paper into the wind or bury them, or throw them into the trash and immediately take the trash out of your home. 

Instead of the previous incantation involving fire, you would recite: 

Remove this feeling of tired and drained I desire to feel refreshed as a summer rain To move quickly and with purpose, I request From here on out laziness will suppress My fingers become nimble and quick As hands work and paper splits This spell harms none And motivates one As I will it, so shall it be!

Now get out there and take on the world!

Spirit Communication

Communication with humans is already hard, and sometimes communicating with spirits is even harder. Fortunately, there are plenty of methods that you can try! As always, this list does not contain every single method, and some methods may not work for you. (Last Updated 1/15/2018)

Speaking/Telepathy

This is quite simple, and sometimes the easiest way to get your point across. You can speak with the spirit out loud, or speak to them in your mind. However, these can sometimes not yield any response, since it can be hard in the beginning to hear spirits while talking to them telepathically or otherwise.

One way to practice it is to address the spirit in your mind, and ask a question. You may get a response, and if you do, you can try to see if it was your imagination, or a spirit. Does the response sound like something you would say? Does the voice have any distinguishable accent? Does it feel like you said it, or does it feel like the response came from out of nowhere?

This can be the hardest form of divination when it comes to discernment, and it is always good to doubt that the voice is a spirit until you can get confirmation. 

[Moon’s Simple Telepathy Steps] by Mod Moon

Pendulum

Pendulums are basically something weighted that can hang down and move freely. As they swing and move, they can either point to a word or swing in a way that indicates an answer (how they move and act is up to you, the pendulum, and the spirit). 

These make it easy to ask simple questions to the spirits, though they won’t be able to yield long answers.

[Talking to Spirits Via Pendulum] by @macabre-incarnate

Tarot

Using a tarot deck is an easy way to communicate with spirits. It can be as simple as shuffling the deck, asking the spirit a question/to pick the card, and checking the meaning of the card! There are a few tarot spreads specifically made for communicating with spirits, or you can create your own spreads based on the spirit and what you want to talk about.

Ouija Boards

Ouija boards (also known as spirit boards) use a board covered in the alphabet or numbers and a planchette. To use it, you can set the planchette on the board and hold your hands on it gently, and ask the spirit a question. The spirit(s) will then move the planchette over the board to spell out their response. 

[Ouija board DOs and DON’Ts] by @theouijagirl

[Witch Tip: Spirit Boards] by @hippydippywitchy

Automatic Writing

Similar to Ouija boards, automatic writing relies on the spirit moving your hand in order to write or type. It can simply be initiated by asking the spirit to move your hand to write an answer to your questions or to talk.

However, it can be one of the harder forms of divination, mainly because it requires plenty of practice and, for some, it can be difficult to let go enough to allow a spirit to move your hand.

Tips for building mind spaces

Other posts of the series: * Tips on Shadow spaces * On Spiritual Bilocation

Mindspaces, also referred to as inner temples, are a great step between meditation and astral travel experiences. However, they are an amazing multi-purpose standalone tool as well. Especially for undercover witches who need to keep their practice secret!

I divide them into two types: basic mind spaces and shadow spaces. This post is about the basic mind spaces.

Basic mind space.

This is essentially a bubble in the space between this plane and the astral planes. It belongs to you and you can change it around as you see fit. Those are like your accounts in dropbox. Just like dropbox or other cloud services, those are password protected etc etc; you get to keep stuff there, its not 100% break-in proof, but safe enough. And you can generate a link to the bubble and send it to a friendly spirit/deity/any entity really, that you want to hang out with.

This place is great as a safety retreat - you can rest here should things get tough. I feel that energy work and practice can be done easier in the mind space, and you can study the energy more directly and it flows much easier than in physical. There’s also spirit work to a done here.  Invite your spirit friends over, meet with your deities for a cup of coffee, so much potential for fun~  There is a lot of room for experiments, spell casting and learning. And finally you can set up a passage that’ll take you straight to astral planes.

Your mind space is very flexible and it can look like anything. It can be a room, a garden, a house, a mountain top, a metro station, an underwater location, a formless blob of darkness. Anything YOU want. Coming back to energy work - it is easier to work with and shape energy, hence its easier to build structures in your space that allow for anything you can think of. Kind of like Rose’s room in Steven Universe. Although it takes more than a wish to make that structure stable.

Here’s a great post to check out by @stsathyre

How to build a mind space.

An important point to keep in mind is that mind spaces can be re-shaped easily, so just go ahead and try things out! You can always adjust things and make them different/better as you go :)

Think of what purpose it is going to serve. Are you going to mainly use it for spellwork? Is it going to be a safety retreat? It has to be practical for whatever your goals are. Should it have lines of shelves for books and magical tools? A large table for mixing up herbs/energies? A number of seats for guests you are going to invite? An extra door that would take you out into the astral planes?

Sketch a layout. Yes, take a pencil and a sheet of paper and just plan out your space. Do you want that river to pass through the middle of the room? Behind the building? Do you want that huge boulder to be in the middle of the clearing where you can set up your mind-space altar? Think of how it would be most comfortable and appealing. Include some leisure areas, a pile of pillows, a pile of soft autumn leaves, a soft floating cloud you can rest on - it’s always nice to have that :) I would discourage from going into greater detail on your furnishings at this point - you want to go gradually. Plan for a door through which you will enter.

Think of the door and safety reinforcements. I would suggest that your door have some sort of authentication mechanism to check that it is, in fact, YOU who is trying to come in. The best way is probably to include something that would read in your energy signature - while it is possible to fake that, it is hard. And in the majority of cases, there isn’t going to be many beings out there who’d go through much trouble to break in.

Pick your technique for actually GOING there. I should probably make this a bigger point, but.. There are many ways to travel and there are many degrees of depths to it. In other words, depending on what you like, you can go into a deep meditative state and go full-in. This way, your experiences will be intense, you will strongly feel all the sensations. Sometimes there are situations where you might not have enough time or good enough circumstances to go that deep. For such situations, a form of a spiritual bi-location might come in handy, which will make your sensations duller but will enable you to actually do things in physical while you also work in your mind space. (this is my favorite way of handling these things because life circumstances can be a bitch). I am sure duskenpath posted about doing this but I can’t seem to find the post now. 

Use the technique and start working on that door! Seriously, if you still haven’t - go check out this post. Use your technique and take yourself to that door. The basic frame should already be there. Examine it and work with it. It helps to touch and feel the material, contemplate the color. Geez just go read that post x)

Work on one thing at a time. I would advise to start gradually. When you go in, focus on one thing at a time. Shape your item. Make the structure strong, then move on to the next item. Work out all the details of the item, feel it, hell - smell it! Those structures are like wine. Older is stronger. After you create a couple of things - let it rest. Exit the space slowly and go on to do your daily business. Let it sit for a day or two, think of what you’ve completed in your space once in a while, keep it hanging in the back of your mind but do not actively go there. Let it gain strength. When you feel like it’s pretty set, go back in. See how it looks, see how it holds up. You might need to revisit your first structures and add some energy in there, reinforce them. To give you an example: I decided I needed a forest. I started working on it, the general sketch, the basic layout of the forest. I let it sit. When I came back, what was more like a sketch became more of a real thing. I did not have to consciously keep them there or make them work - they were rolling on their own.

A warning of foggy vision. When you are setting up the space, you focus on the details and pay much attention to each item. However, I’ve found that for me, being in the mind space - especially during bi-location feels kind of foggy. It is mostly a problem of focus, since I am working in two places at once. It feels like I should be wearing glasses but I don’t have them on. The details of the objects are gone unless I specifically work with the particular object. Even then sometimes it is cloudy. And you know what? That does not stop me from getting things done in the space. It might slow me down. But it is perfectly fine. For me that is a fair trade-off. I either go there without the really deep submersion, and everything is foggy, OR I don’t go at all. So that’s just something to keep in mind too

Sigils as a structure reinforcement and a gateway. If you feel like giving your space and structure an extra boost, you can make a sigil to represent the space and the changes you made to it. I know, usually the tutorials say to work with words. Apply the same approach to the little layout plan you sketched before. Take the basic shapes you used for your tables, chairs and other itmes and combine them into a sigil. Make changes until you feel that the sigil is a good representation. That same sigil can be used as a point of focus if you have trouble reaching your mental space. However, I would suggest keeping that sigil very and very private. You wouldn’t want to let anyone know your bank account password, neither would you want to let anyone have your apartment keys :)

A bit more on what you can do

You can do witchy business right there. You can cast spells from your mind space. You can set up your altars and shrines there if you have to keep your work/worship hidden. You can also do shadow work by accessing your subconscious more directly (if anyone is interested I will write a post about shadow spaces). You can brew tea and enjoy quiet evenings near a fireplace. You can use your space as a station to create servitors and experiment with energy structures. There are so so many possibilities!

If you have anything to add or questions to ask, my ask box is open and I’d be happy to discuss/help out! :)
