“It [witchcraft] can and does embrace the totality of human experience from birth to death, and then beyond. It creates within the human spirit a light that brightens all darkness, and which can never again be extinguished. It is never fully forgotten, it is never fully remembered. The True faith is the life of the follower, without it he is nothing, with it he has contained something of all creation.”

— Robert Cochrane (via rad-magick)

Ritual of Necromantic Evocation

 Excerpt from “The Book of Ceremonial Magic” by Arthur Edward Waite, Chapter IX, concerning Infernal Spirits.The first verse is to compel spirits into obedience:

 Where the process is given, as in the Fourth Book of Cornelius Agrippa, it is confined to the evocation of those souls who might be reasonably supposed to be damned, and it involves revolting rites. It assumes that the evil liver carries with him into the next world the desires which have depraved him here, and it allures him by his persistent affinities with the relinquished body. In this way the use of blood came to be regarded as indispensable, because blood was held to be the medium of physical life; so also a portion of the body itself, whether flesh or bone, was prescribed in the rite. There is not any need to say that evocations involving the use of such materials belong to Black Magic…

Reveal True Colours (Hex/Spell)

Purpose: A spell to set things in motion to expose someone who’s wronged you. Meant for people you’ve spoken out against but no one believes you due to the offender’s social status. 

Needed

A small mirror

A black expo marker or black cloth

(Optional) Candles for protection/amplification

Casting

Cover mirror with the cloth or ink and light candles if you choose

Meditate, focusing on the target. (What did they do to you? Why did they do it? How did it make you feel?)

Recite the following until you’re content:

Put on a mask, Lie all you want. The monster inside you Isn’t a shock.

I’ll peel off your mask, Show your face to the light, And see who all believes That you’re still in the right.

Remove the cloth or ink from the mirror and focus on your goal.

How to Conduct a Spell

The Advance Work

- Decide on your spell. If you’re writing your own, do it well before the day of execution in case you decide to change it after thinking about it for a day or two.

- Check to make sure you have all the tools or enhancements available. You do not want to run to a store an hour before you conduct a ritual. You should be as relaxed as possible the day of your ceremony.

- Locate the area in which you will be casting your formation (magic circle) in advance.

- Choose your clothing and make sure it is clean and ready to wear.

- Clear your schedule so you are not rushed.

- If your spell is to be conducted at home, clean it so you wont be nervous or concerned about chores later.

Spell Day: The Basic Order

1. Shut off all telephones and anything that will distract you.

2. Put pets that will disrupt you in another room.

3. Take children to the babysitters if you have made that previous arraignment, or ask household members not to disturb you for the amount of time you think it will take. Allow a minimum of a half an hour.

4. Take a shower or bath.

5. Take your tools and enhancements and go to your spell area. Make sure you have your spell.

6. If you’re using music, you may want to start playing it while you are getting things together.

7. Move furniture around to give yourself the space you require.

8. Place all your tools within the space you will be using.

9. Cast your circle and place your candles and gems in your space.

10. Relax and visualize your body being protected by a bright white light. See it flowing from your toes up to the top of your head. Not only does the circle protect you, but the white light is also a shield of additional protection from negative influences.

11. Sit, and when you feel it appropriate, recite your spell. You may want to listen to the music for a while before actually reciting the spell, or you may want to sit in silence to prepare.

12. Once you have completed your spell, sit for as long as you feel is comfortable. Extinguish all candles and open up your circle, release it, and leave immediately.

13. Remove all enhancements and put things back in order.

About affirmations

You literally can’t use the words “don’t” “won’t” or “can’t” in your affirmations. So don’t. Here’s why:

THEY BACKFIRE!

If your affirmation is “I’m not gonna be late for work” the universe is actually hearing “I’m gonna be late for work.” When you output a positive statement, such as “I am ready with more than enough time to spare,” you get positive reaction back. But “don’t” comes back to the universe as “do”. The law of attraction states that putting “not” into any affirmation

“I am not ugly”

“I am not fat”

“I will not fail this class”

Will bring back an adverse effect. All the universe can hear is

“I am ugly”

“I am fat”

“I will fail this class”

Because the LOA doesn’t understand the negative word in the middle of your positive statement. Try instead:

“I am beautiful”

“I am healthy”

“I succeed in all my schoolwork”

And please think about this when writing your spells!!!

**Blends of the Seer / Drogues du Voyant**

« I say one must be a seer, make oneself a seer. The Poet makes himself a seer through a long, vast and painstaking derangement of all the senses. I want to be a Poet, and I’m working to make myself a Seer: you will not understand at all, and I hardly know how to explain it to you. The point is to arrive at the unknown by the dissoluteness of all the senses. »

***

« Je dis qu’il faut être voyant, se faire voyant. Le Poète se fait voyant par un long, immense et raisonné dérèglement de tous les sens.  

Je veux être Poète, et je travaille à me rendre Voyant : vous ne comprendrez pas du tout, et je ne saurais presque vous expliquer. Il s’agit d’arriver à l’inconnu par le dérèglement de tous les sens. »

[Arthur Rimbaud]

A Few Drinks

Divination can be anything.

My Greek runes set is a bunch of pennies written on in sharpie. I used playing cards to start learning tarot. Sometimes I ask for my Gods to make me stop at a red light for no and green light for yes when I have a question while driving. I’ve randomly picked stamps to read when I didn’t have anything else. You can read anything as long as it makes sense to you. All my most accurate divination methods have been self-made in some way, you don’t need a fancy $80 tarot deck or fancy divination-specific tools. My dice set for astragalomancy is my set I use for D&D!

Point is, you can divine with anything you have. You can do any sort of divination you can think of. The only requirement is that you can find understanding.

Witch Tip

I think people mistake or overthink what it means to “feel a connection” with something (like a crystal or tarot deck). It can be as simple as really liking something and wanting to have it!

It doesn’t have to be a physical sensation or inner voice. — I used to scan my crystal cabinet with my hands and close my eyes in the hopes that I would finally feel what it meant to connect with something. I was disappointed to have underwhelming experiences every time. Now I often just open it up and grab what I think is prettiest or nicest to hold in my hand that day. Your connections can be as straightforward as this and still be valid
