7/8/2009 - The Moon and Mirrors

Posted in Talismans

Mirrors are objects that are wrapped within mystery and for a long time have had many superstitions and myths attached to them, the use of mirrors are common in various different forms and acts of magick. Mirrors have a very strong mystifying effect within their ability to cast reflections, they can be seen as portals in their own right, and gateways to other worlds, they are also seen as being able to perhaps capture the image of things not meant to be seen.

 The moon is another powerful symbol and object within the use of magick, and interworkings with mirrors and the moon together is a common practice for various rituals. A mirror can be used to help capture the moons light, to better channel the power of the moon and draw upon its energy. A mirror can be a useful and powerful tool in the workings of maigck.

To have a mirror of your own can also be a way of further personalizing the work you do, and give your own "signature" to it. Find a handheld mirror, it can be any design which appeals to you, or if you are skilled, or just ambitious you can make your own frame for your mirror.

Once you have your chosen mirror, on the night of the first full moon after acquiring your mirror, let your mirror reflect the rays of the moons light, and then when the mirror is not in use keep it stored within a dark-colored bag. It may be a good idea to periodically recharge the mirror on occasion.

5/9/2008 - Fairy Loaves

Posted in Talismans

Beautiful fossils turned over on the seacoast or on the grounds of your home are a good omen, called fairy loaves.

If you are lucky enough to find one lift the stone and instantly say thank you. Standing where you are, turn three times on the spot, clockwise.

Take it home and clean it as though it was treasure. Place it on a mantleplace or on top of your stove. While it remains in your home, you should never want for bread. Caress it from time to time, when your luck could do with a boost.

But do not leave it outside, that would abuse fairy hopitality.

5/24/2007 - Knot Meditation

Posted in Talismans

This is a meditation I came up with myself, and somewhat by accident, but I found it to be affective, in helping to clear the mind, gain focus or calm the mind and realive stress.

 

First take a piece of string, thred, cord, ribbon, etc... in whatever color is most appealing to you. I would say somewhere between 4-6 inches would be a good lenghth but utliamtely it can be as long or short as you would like it.

 

Tie as many knots you can along the length of it, from end to end, without overlapping knots, so they should be single knots going down the lenght of your thread, You should try to have them at least somewhat evenly spaced between them, but it does not have to be an exazt science.

 

Once you have all your knots just take one end between your fingers, and with your other hand begin to pull the thread through your fingers pausing for a couple of secounds at each knot just to feel it between your fingers, before you move on untill you reach the other end, and then repeat the process going back down to the other end. And just keep repeating this process of pulling the thread through your fingers from end to end, for as long as you like or feel you need. As you do this focus only on the feeling of the knots against your fingers, and if you want, you can at each knot contemplate upon one of the stressers in your life, and as you move on to the next knot, it can symoblize you moving past the stress and putting it behind you, and so forth.

 

And this is handy to take with you, you can put it in your purse, bag, wallet etc.. and bring it out to use in near any situation or in any envrioment, or you can find a good place to keep it where you will have easy access to it when you need it.

 

You can also try this to help you get past any anxieits or fears you might have. For example if you are afired of flying but have to travel somewhere, you can take your string with you, and just thread it through your fingers during the fight, and just focus on the knots and take your mind off of anything else happening around you.

 

This simply technique can really be extended and put out to many different uses.

3/6/2007 - Posies

Posted in Talismans

Spread happiness among others, and attract it simultaneously for yourself with the following gesture

 

When the first of any particular species of flower appears, either in your yard or in flower shops, make a hand-tied bunch or posy for yourself and four other people, and add a vital sprig of rosemary before securing the whole with silver or burgundy colored ribbon. Add a luggage label or simple tag whishing the recipients a Happy Day, and place the posy somwhere unexpected for them to find. Place your own bunch in a glass vase, and light a silver or bugundy candle beside it. Your gesture, which will have brought joy to the others will back to you fourfold within four days or weeks.
