HP’s spells: the Patronus Charm

Hello once again, yes I know I’ve been away for quite a time, but as you can imagine a lot of things are happening and I was not able to sit and write something until today. 

So, probably since I started this thread of Spells from the Harry Potter world, adapted in real life in the very spirit of Pop Culture Magick, you may have wondered when I would speak about the Patronus Charm. And here we go! 

I’ve to say that this has been the easiest spell to adjust for real purpose and you’ll see why. In the Potterverse this spell is used to keep away Dementors which are negative entity who feed on positive thoughts of people until they’re left only with the bad ones.

That means that we can  use this spell to banish negative energies and/or entities from a place or even from within. For me, performing a patronus charm is the equivalent of the traditional Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (or its variations) that you can perform before to perform a ritual, or when you feel that something is around you and is up to no good. 

How to cast the spell:

1. Of course you will need to focus on a happy memory (doesn’t matter if recent or old) that has to be intense, and need to make you easily feel good vibes. If not, because this can be hard for somebody, you can just focus on positive thoughts or anything you like and that makes you feel well.

2. Now, let this thought pervade your entire being, and your mind. Meanwhile you could visualise the wand’s tip starting to shine, just like a piece of iron that will almost reach the melting point. 

3. Say out loud (if that’s possible) the words

EXPECTO PATRONUM

At this point release the energy that your positive thoughts will have gathered, and you can imagine the rest of the spells as follows: 

a. just a light coming out of the wand, white as a fog, expanding in the space around you, pushing away any negative energy or unwanted entity. The wave of energy will expand until reaching the walls of the room where you’re casting the spell, or towards the infinite of your horizon in case you’re outdoor.

b. the Patronus can take a particular shape, and manifest as an animal. Now the question will be which form will your patronus take? Not like in the movies or the books, the animal will be one of your choice and that will feel special for you. If you have a familiar or pet, it could take that form, or you may want to use an animal according to the totem powers usually associated with them.

If you wanna try it a bit differently, the first time you’re going to perform this spell, don’t do it when actually needed. Instead, meditate and imagine yourself in a wood (or at Hogwarts ;) ) and call forth the Patronus. Don’t push it and just let the magick do its work and it will show you which Patronus you have. It will be your higher-self/subconscious or whatever you call it, to show you this “totem” and of course it could change during time, depending on your need, spiritual evolution etc.

The point a is very reliable when is about banishing from a place unwanted forces, while the second can be used in the same way (the light will come from the patronus and not from the wand directly) but the bonus here is that you can “see” the patronus fighiting with an entity if that’s what you’re trying to banish.

EXTRA USES: the Patronus could be left to guard a place, although this spell wouldn’t last for long period of time, but only as long as part of the witch’s focus is left on it. You can try as well to send psychic messages to somebody or as if it were a servitor, you can task the patronus so it’ll help out. You can send it also to protect somebody for a short period of time, if needed.

BONUS: if you’d like, and you’re on Pottermore, you can take the test there, and see what’s your patronus and if that’s of your like, you can use this spell using the animal you’ve got sorted there. At the moment is what I do, and my Patronus is a Nibelung Cat. 

Also, you don’t need a wand to perform the spell of course. If you’re on the go, just use your finger, or only your imagination. And that is it.

What’s yours? Let me know how the spell goes for you, and I hope as always you can enjoy my article! 

Magickal greetings to you all until the next post.

Healing Magic

I could not tell you how many nights we received a phone call that my older sister was back in the hospital while I was growing up.  Some nights the call would come from an ER nurse at 2AM. There were afternoons when my sister herself would call as she was being loaded into an ambulance. My sister had a rare disease called FOP.It’s where muscles and ligaments turn to bone. While it wasn’t the…

HP’s spell: The memory charm

Hi there, and welcome back to another appointment with pop culture magick. So today we will see the real-life adapted version of the memory charm, from the Potterverse. 

First of all, this spell can’t really erase somebody’s memory, that’s obvious. But I know well how hard can be to detach from past experiences, especially negative ones when they won’t leave annoying you during the day. And Gods know how hard is to get out from a negative situation/period when you need first stop being attacked mentally by your own thought, before to begin the “scarring process”. 

So, getting to the practical part of this post, what the witchling will need to do is to write briefly the memory or the situation that’s torturing us on a piece of paper (if you can, use flash paper and you’ll understand why in a bit). 

Once the memory is written down, set up your altar and prepare for magick following your own tradition, and get ready having also your wand at hand. Remember also to have a candle on your altar, a good colour would be white.

Now, draw on the piece of paper a sigil you devised for the purpose or letting go bad memory, or you could make a sigil out of the spell word itself, that is going to be said in short. Or even simpler will be for you just to do a big red cross on the paper, making sure that this cross covers most of the text.

Now please point the wand toward the paper, and say firmly:

OBLIVIATE

Visualise how the bad memory is starting disappearing from your mind, vanishing slowly but inexorably. You can see it as a bunch of dust being dispersed in the wind. While you are visualising you can keep saying the spell, murmuring it or outloud, as you wish. While you do so, please rotate your wand anticlockwise, to seal magickally your action and will. 

Now burn the paper, and if you’re using the flash paper it will burn leaving no ashes behind, representing this way what is going to be the fate of your bad thought. If you cannot find flash paper (you can find in amazon and it’s quite cheap) regular paper will do as well. In that case toss the ashes in a river, at the sea, or even flush them away in the toilet.

And that will be all. Depending on your will strength and the memory itself, the spell could need more repetion before to start sorting some effects. If you like to work with the moon phases, the waning moon is a great moment to perform this spell.

I hope this can help you guys, to find a new light in your life without being stuck in the past. As I said, it’s impossible to erase a memory from our mind, but it’s not impossible to detach it from our heart, and accept whatever happened for what it truly is: an event of life.

Stay strong witches, and see ya in the next post!

HP’s spells for increasing/decreasing something

Hello guys, I hope to find you well. Today we’re going to talk about two related spells which can be used to increase or decrease something at will.

The applications of these spells can be quite versatile, so the witchling can use those in order to work with energies, to affect another already existing spell, or just to be directed towards a target.

I thought and used these enchantments for: 

to affect my own energy during a ritual, 

to have an influece on a specific energy

to reduce pain, or the effects of a illness during the healing process

to increase the healing benefits of a potion, spell or medicine

to reduce negative energies, or to increase positive ones

to extend energetically something

to work with one’s aura or your own

etc.

As I said the applications can be vary, since the main purposes of these spells is to increase and decrease something. 

The word to increase will be:

ENGORGIO

The word to decrease will be: 

REDUCIO

It’s a good practice to point your target with a wand while saying the words, and then drawing a sigil that will lock the target, or aim the spell to a specific effect.

Just remember that these work on something already existing, so for istance, if you’re using them to power up a ward you have placed on you or your place beforehand, that’s good, but it won’t create a shield (so don’t think about saying ENGORGIO SHIELD thinking that you can kind of create a shield, it’s not going to work that well). 

A really good use is to increase or decrease somebody’s emotions, so you may well use it to REDUCIO fear, anger, mental pain etc as you can as well ENGORGIO courage, strength, attention etc.

While using the wand, it’s a good idea keeping in mind that while using the increasing spell you can move clockwise your wand, while anti-clockwise when using the decreasing spell. 

And finally, since the nature of this type of magick, please don’t forget that it will reduce something to its minimum state, but it won’t make it go away completely.

In other words, if you’re using REDUCIO to reduce your fear, it will become little and then easier to manage but only as long as you’ll be able to make the next move needed to remove that fear it will disappear. Got it?

In fact, another spell to complete the REDUCIO one, can be EVANESCIT (alright I know it’s EVANESCO in HPverse, but that literally means “I disappear” and of course it doesn’t sound right if you’re using it to make something else disappear from your life/mind etc. But feel free to use it if you feel that that detail makes no difference for you, of course! :) 

Have a bewitched day.

HP’s spell: How to create a magick-servitor with PIERTOTUM LOCOMOTOR

Hello guys, what’s up?! I’m well and back to speak about magick from the wizarding world of Harry Potter, that we can adapt for real life magic.

Today, I’m going to introduce you the spell to create a magick servitor which appears in the saga under the formula Piertotum Locomotor.

I won’t take that long to explain you how to perform this spell, since the real details of it will be elaborated from yourselves. So, getting started!

A SERVITOR , WHAT IS IT:

A magical servitor is al elemental spirit that a witch can create with their mind in order to give it a purpose. It’s basically an extension of somebody’s mind (or a link with your magical subconsciousness if you prefer) programmed in order to achieve something on behalf of the witch who created it.

A servitor doesn’t go further than doing what it was programmed for, and it stays active as long as the witchling wishes so, and (just in case you’re wondering) it will disappear with the death of the caster (so it won’t stick around after you left to make a place spooky for the unfortunate living ones), and can be “deactivated” by the witchling who created it, or sometimes it can be deleted by other witches in rarer cases.

If you’d like to have more info about this type of magick, you can google it and tons of websites will give you more info about this type of magick, that is quite famous especially in the Chaos Magick nowadays. The positive thing of this magick, is that once we have created a servitor, and we ask it to complete a mission, we can just don’t think about it and go on with our life. This is particularly nice as by doing so, we won’t stress our censor mind and so we won’t possibly create a psychic block normally known as “crave of results” (well I call that this way). 

HOW TO CREATE A SERVITOR

As I said there are many ways, but I can tell you briefly what to do following my idea.

So, first of all you have to find a name for this guy, and it’s a good option to make a sentence of will, and creating a sigil of it plus a word of power. Of course nobody will tell you you just can’t give a name to your servitor, as you would do for a pet, because actually, YOU CAN!

Once you have the magick name and the sigil, you’re ready to go. Besides the sigil creation, you can as well create a little statuette made by clay or similar materials (like white clay) or maybe you can give a 3D shape to your sigil. In case you wanna stick only with the sigil (which can be easier to bring around if needed), that’s fine but I would suggest to use something heavier like parchment or even cardboard paper. 

THE CORE OF THE SPELL

So, you have the sigil/statuette ready, what’s next? 

1. Get your wand, and point it at the vessel of your little entity. Think about the purpose you’re going to appoint to it, and in case you made a word of power, use it now at least 3 times.

2. Start rising your energy and when you feel it to be enough, point the wand to the sigil or the statuette, and say out loud always for 3 times: 

PIERTOTUM LOCOMOTOR

3. Feel how the words you’re pronouncing flows in the sigil or statuette of your little friend, bringing it to life. If you want, you can visualise the spirit coming out of the sigil or the statuette to shine of energy or something (use the mental image you prefer the most). Usually I just see them as little energy balls, or resembling a fairy but without giving too much details.

4.Now you can give the order to the entity and see how that goes away from you in order to achieve the task you gave.

And that’s all! Keep in mind that you can decide to use the entity for multiple purposes (but remember to give one task at the time to get good results. If you appoint more than one to the same servitor, the risk is to get confused outcomes or nothing at best), or once the job is done, you can destroy the statuette or burn the sigil and pointing your wand saying the general counterspell: 

FINITE (+ name of the servitor) 

By doing this you will “dissipate” the servitor as such, and the energy will be going back to the source (which was and is your inner mind). 

If you create more than one servitor, it’s a good idea to keep a book with all the sigils you made for each one of them, with their names and type of skills they have; just like the old Grimoire did in the past (see for example the Key of Solomon, or the book of Abramelin the mage), kind of records of your personal little spirit friends.

BONUS: if you have a house with a statue of an animal at the door, or facing the entrance of your living space, you can of course turn it in a dwelling place for your servitor, and giving it the order to protect and defent the space. That would be very similar to what McGonagall did with this very spell, isn’t it? ;) 

See you in the next post.

HP’s spell: How to avoid being overheard by anybody

Hi guys and welcome back to another post of Harry Potter spells for real life witchlings.

Today we’re going to talk about the anti-spy spell (I like to call it this way). From time to time you may need some space and most of all some privacy when talking to a friend, and maybe you’re in a croweded place with lots of people, like it could be a coffee-shop.

And we know, that sometime we have some people around, that instead of minding their own business, they like to hear people’s conversation instead. Annoying uh?! 

So, it’s in those circumstances that we can use this spell from the Potterverse to avoid people overhearing whatever we’re saying. I do believe that this spell can be also used to avoid people to be nosy, and end up finding us in the middle of a ritual for istance. So the main purpose of this verbal charm is to keep away eyes and ears while we’re doing something and we want to grant our privacy. You could even use it to make a sigil, and keep it in your computer/laptop to keep away web unwanted attention.

The word to activate the spell is of course: 

MUFFLIATO

While you pronounce the word/spell, imagine appearing a subtle bubble of energy that creates a space around you, that covers you like if it were an isolating material. Like if you were in one of those recording studio, sound-free.

The spell needs a bit of your attention in order to keep working for longer period of time, so if you will need it for a longer amount of time, then repeat it from time to time, if you feel it’s wearing off.

And that’s it for today. As always let me know if you need me to answer your questions, or if you’re curios about something. 

See you all in the next post! :)

HP’s spell: Binding enchantment

Hey guys, what’s up?! So here we’re again with another spell from the Potterverse, and as you can read from the title, today we are going to talk about a binding spell.

I have to say, that there are many spells in the Potter world, that can be adapted easily for binding a situation or a person who wants to harm us (physically, socially etc). So what I’m doing now it’s studying what shades we can give to the different spells belonging on the binding category (or as they’re often called in Harry Potter books, freezing spells).

In order to perform this spell, you will need a picture of your enemy or something that represents what’s hurting you and a thick thread or ribbon. You can choose whatever color you will find fitting, but I would suggest black or brown.

Once you’re ready to start (if you are used to draw a circle, then do one before to start, or perform your usual rituals before to start the core of the spell), begin by folding the picture or the symbol of your “enemy” slowly while pronouncing or chanting the verbal spell:

INCARCERO (from the original incarcerus)

Keep going until the thread/ribbon has finished, and the picture or symbol is completely wrapped. And that is all. Yes, it’s that simple! Now you can keep the artifact with you or bury it away in the countryside. You could even burn it if you feel it to be more appropriate. And you should know by now that I change a little the original spells if I feel that’s needed, but if you prefer to use the original spell as it appears in the books or the movies, feel free to do so of course! 

Please NOTE that this spell is not meant to harm the enemy or the situations that is blocking you. The effect of the spell will be only to stop that person or those groups who generate a situation, that is harming you whether that being a physical harm or psycological. Either way the spell will stop them, and keep them at bade. 

Another little variant to perform, and without a thread/ribbon, would be to create a sigil and then have on a paper the name or simbol of the object of our spell (if it’s a situation you can write a little resume of it). Thinking at the verbal spell you can draw a sigil you will have made out of the word INCARCERO or INCARCERUS on the top of the paper, just where there is the name/description of what must be blocked. Then point your wand and recite firmly the spell, and then burn the paper to seal your magick.

This was short I know, but I will come back soon with something different, you know it. As always please don’t hesitate to write me if you have questions, and let me know if you put in practice one of these spells, and you simply wanna share your opinions and experiences. :) 

Bye!
