OOOOH DO I HAVE SOME FUN STUFF TO TELL YOU!!!

So, in one aspect of traditional magic, prayers were written in water soluble substances on plates to drink or sprinkle in order to treat a person with, what some assumed, was spirit-inflicted illness. The Sixth and Seventh Book of Moses goes into this in depth.

Additionally, from experience, you can pray psalms over water and drink them in order to treat various things.

Therefore, yes, eating the Bible is indeed useful.

[thepubgrim]

That is very interesting! I doubt that literally eating Bibles is safe these days though because of what kind of substances are used in the printing but I'd definitely pray psalms over glasses of water.

Magick Tip: Learn basic meditation before learning advanced rituals. The easiest form of meditation you can do is sit, close your eyes and literally do nothing as long as you can. You can also find free tutorials on meditation everywhere especially on the internet.

Magick Tip: Clean your ritual space before asking spirits to enter it. In fact, cleaning can be a form of banishing if you think about it.

I hope bad things happen to evil people

[arcsigils2]

I Hope Bad Things Happen To Evil People - a sigil created to manifest a most fervent of wishes during this most turbulent of times; for bad things to happen to evil people.

[cryptidstatusbreached]

.... If you flip it upside down does it become an "I Hope Good Things Happen To Good People" sigil?

[arcsigils2]

hell no! thats not how it works ahahaha but you can try ofc, whatever happens is on you, not me :3

Magick Tip: Record failures of your magickal operations. They often teach more than successes. Every failure is just a stepping stone to success.

Every time I have a really nice snack like these two doughnuts from Krispy Kreme (my favorite doughnut place), I offer them to my patron deity Sobek (ankh, udja, seneb), leave them alone for a moment and then devour them to absorb Sobek's blessings. Simple acts of unorthodox theurgy should be normalized so it will feel like the gods are always there. It's empowering and comforting.

If those sixty spells were forgotten, how did they get written in this book in the first place?

[thepubgrim]

Magick Tip: Keep a magickal journal, even when "nothing happened." You may never know when the unexpected finally happens. With a magickal journal, at least you're ready.

Oy mates! I'm here at BrewHa Cafe here at 445 RS. Cristobal St. Sampaloc, Manila. It's a very mage-friendly dining establishment for all you magickal folks! They got tarot too!

Creating Sigils based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

If you need ideas and suggestions for what kind of sigils to create, consider using Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a guide to give you enough ideas to make your own personal grimoire of sigils. You can even use it to get ideas to make your own non-sigil spells. You can also use it as a template for organizing your book of shadows.

Maslow's hierarchy can be surprisingly useful as a map for magical practice because it gives you a way to ask what need am I actually trying to address?

One approach is to treat each level as a "sphere of operation":

1. Physiological Needs 🍞

Health, energy, food, housing, material stability

2. Safety Needs 🛡️

Protection, warding, financial security, overcoming fear

3. Love and Belonging 🤝

Friendship, community, family harmony, finding one's tribe

4. Esteem Needs 👑

Confidence, charisma, reputation, skill development

5. Self-Actualization 🌟

Creativity, life purpose, mastery, spiritual development

6. Self-Transcendence ✨

Communion with the divine, service, mystical experiences

For a magician, this can become a diagnostic tool.

Before casting, ask:

"Which need is this working actually serving?"

For example:

A prosperity sigil might not really be about money. It might be about safety.

A glamour spell might not be about attractiveness. It might be about esteem.

A devotion to your patron deity might not be about obtaining favors. It might be about self-transcendence.

Note: Remember that this is more of a guide than an instruction. I'm just saying that Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs can be used as a map to creating and organizing spells and rituals. I think it's worth experimenting with.

Magick Tip: When creating your own banishing ritual and protection spells, it may be a good idea to incorporate visualizations of bright white light in any form you desire. White has always been a color associated with purity and divinity which are two qualities crucial to a good banishing. Light, be it in a form of a bonfire, a candle or a lantern has always symbolized guidance, illumination and protection. You need light to move through the darkness and avoid its dangers. Another symbol to incorporate in banishing is the element of fire for fire provides light but it also cleanses and purges. ⚪🕯️🔥

Easiest Way to Fire A Sigil

Hold your breath while staring at a sigil as long as you can. After reaching the limit, dispose or hide the sigil. It has been fired into the universe to be manifested.
