Re: Protective Symbols, Charms and Totems

Call your Dragon Guardian Spell'

There are 3 stages to it.

First, The Sudden Need Incantation:

This method is short and to the point. Usually used to protect the caster or another in a sudden crisis.

''By Dragon wing and dragon claw,
my defense is without flaw.
Shrouded by dragon might,
remove me from enemy sight.
Fly before me, Dragon bright,
and blind my foe with thy light.
Full of rage and terrible ire,
burn my assailants with Dragon Fire.''
Dark and terrible be thy wrath,
Dragon, protect me on my path.''

Second, The Short Term Protection.

This summoning is used for short term goals and needs such as protecting an object for a brief period, such as a car ride or elevator trip. Mark the object to be protected with the sign of the guardian and repeat the incantation below:

''Gentle Guardian wise and strong
keep it as it belongs.
Safe within thy charge and care,
the current venture to fare.
No harm to come or ill to befall,
guarded and safe through it all.''

Third, The Long Term Need:

This form of summoning is closer to permanent as we would perceive it. Yet in this you must still work with a time frame in mind, however distant it may be.

Guardian Dragons may be summoned in this fashion for protection of people places and things needing or deserving long term care (such as children, houses, spouses, etc). Multiple objects can be protected with but a change in grammar, but they should be together for a single dragon to protect (the objects become like a mini-horde).
''Dragon brave and Dragon wise,
let nothing escape your watchful eyes.
I call to you from your hidden lair,
(name object here) is entrusted to your care.
Permit no harm to come to ( named object),
in your presence may all evils take flight.
No baneful creature born of flesh nor spirit
may touch (name object) nor even come near it.
May those that would bring harm
be filled with fright and alarm.''

Workings

by Gaia Losna

This article originally appeared in Raven's Call Magazine Volume 1, Number 3
Most people of pagan or magickal inclinations know that the phases of the Moon are important to the timing of magickal workings. And most people know that there are various correspondences one can use in magickal workings, such as elemental correspondences or color correspondences. But many people do not know that by refining the astrological timing, particularly by using the Moon's phases and transits correctly, you can greatly empower your magickal workings and increase their effectiveness.

What is meant by ' refining the astrological timing? Basically it means taking into account not only the Moon's phase and the particular sign it is in, but also the aspects the Moon may be making to other planets, both in your natal (birth) chart and in the heavens on that day, especially aspects to a planet who's rulership governs the result you wish to obtain through your working. You can take this refinement a step further by also timing your working so that the Moon is moving through the particular House in your natal chart that is most closely related to what you are trying to achieve.

Now, obviously this last refinement in particular requires that you have a copy of your natal chart to refer to. If you don't already have one, you can usually get one fairly easily from either a local astrologer or through various online astrological services. Besides your date of birth, you do need to know the time you where born and where. Alternatively, there are some astrology programs that are fairly inexpensive but can still produce a natal chart that will work just fine for determining timing elements. One program I have used for several years is called Expert Astrologer by Expert Software, and at the time I bought it, it retailed for around $12.95. The natal chart that "Expert Astrologer" produced for me was only a few astrological minutes off on some of the planetary positions when compared to a chart that had been prepared on a $200 program. These slight discrepancies in the chart usually make very little difference when you use the chart to figure out astrological timings.

The first, and probably most important aspect of timing, and the easiest to figure out, is the phase of the Moon. Basically, the waxing phase (from just after New Moon to just at Full Moon) is the time for doing workings for growth, increase, action, fertility, abundance, starting things, planting seeds (physical or spiritual), planting above ground crops, building, bringing together, summoning and binding. The waning phase (from just after Full Moon to just at New Moon) is the time for banishing (negative aspects of oneself, things or people), things that need to remain secret, ending things, sending away, decrease, dieting, harvesting, planting below ground crops, and reaction. So, for example, if you want to do a magickal working to increase prosperity and abundance for yourself or your family, you will need to do that working when the Moon is in its waxing phase. On the other hand, if your working is to help banish negativity from your life, you will need to perform the working during the waning Moon.

Any good astrological calendar or planetary guide will show you the Moon phases and the exact times of the Full Moon, New Moon and other phases, as well as the movements of the other planets. A word of advice though - not all astrological calendars guides are created equal! Make sure the one you are using is either listing times for your rime zone or else be sure to calculate for the difference. For example, one well-known publisher of astrological calendars uses U.S. Central Time Zone for all its timings. If you live on the West Coast of the United States, as I do, the times will all be two hours ahead. Thus, if this calendar says the Moon is full at 9:00 p.m., it would really be full at 7:00 p.m. on the West Coast. If you live on the East Coast, the Full Moon would be at 10:00 p.m. You either have to compensate for these time difference up front or you can try to find a calendar or pocket guide that is geared to your time zone. One of the best I have found that uses Pacific Time Zone as their basis are Jim Maynard's Celestial Guides. I have used his Pocket Astrologer for many years now. It is very small (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") and I carry it with me at all times in my purse or backpack. Most planetary guides also show the various major planetary aspects each day and many have an ephemeris in the back (a chart showing the daily positions of each planet).

So, the most basic timing element for magickal workings is the phase of the Moon. The next element to be aware of is to avoid a void-of-course Moon (this information is in most astrological calendars or pocket guides). The Moon is said to be "void of course" when it has made its last aspect to another planet in a sign and it does not make any further aspects to any planet until it moves into the next sign. This period can last a few minutes or a few days, depending where the other planets are. It's like the Moon is "biding its time" in a sign, waiting to move on. It's not that a void-of-course Moon is bad, it's just that during a void of course Moon actions can produce unexpected results and things can take off in unexpected directions. Not quite as difficult as Mercury retrograde but still unpredictable. However, a void-of-course Moon can be a good time for workings of a subjective, spiritual or non-materialistic nature.

The next refinement to consider is what Zodiacal sign the Moon is in. The Moon moves into a new sign about every two to two-and-a-half days. After working with Moon signs for awhile you will come to learn the "flavor" the Moon takes on as it transits each sign. For instance, if you are doing a working for family peace and harmony, you wouldn't want to perform that working if the Moon was in Scorpio or Aries. Moon in Libra would be good for this kind of working.

Then, going a step further, you can look at the aspects the Moon is making to other planets in the heavens. Sextiles, trines and most conjunctions are beneficial aspects. Squares and oppositions are difficult or challenging aspects. So, for example, if you are doing a working for prosperity it's better not to do it if the Moon is opposite or square to Jupiter. But the timing would be beneficial if the Moon is trine or sextile to Jupiter.

The next refinement you can use is to time your working so that the Moon is moving through the particular House of your natal chart that governs the ultimate outcome of your working. You will need to be familiar with what areas of life each House rules. If it is a working for prosperity and abundance, you would want to time it so the Moon is moving through your Second House, for the Second House rules material possessions, finances, prosperity, etc. If it is a working for physical healing, the Moon should ideally be moving through your Sixth House, for health and physical healing come under the Sixth House's rulership.. Since the Moon changes signs about every two to two-and-a-half days, if you miss its transit through a particular House one month, you would only have to wait until the next month to try again for this particular timing.

Taking this one step further, you can also time your working so that a particular planet is moving through the appropriate House of your natal chart. However, this usually is only practical for the faster moving planets, such as Mercury, Venus, the Sun or Mars due to the length of time it takes the other planets to move through each sign (Jupiter takes a year to move from one sign to another, Saturn two years or more, Uranus about seven years, and so on). For example, performing a magickal working for attracting the appropriate mate for oneself would be greatly empowered if it was timed for when Venus (which rules love, attraction, and beauty) was moving through your natal 7th House (which rules marriage, unions, partnership).

However, you should avoid using planetary transits as a timing tool if the particular planet you wish to use is in a "retrograde" movement. A planet is said to be retrograde when, due to the Earth's particular orbit, it appears to be moving backward in a Zodiacal sign. Most people are familiar with the periods of "Mercury retrograde" and its chaotic effect on communications of all kinds. Retrogrades are almost always considered negative in effect, causing chaos and unpredictability in the outcome of things. The Sun and Moon never move retrograde but all the other planets are capable of it. Mercury goes retrograde the most frequently; however, the outer planets are often retrograde for very long periods of time. So, it's best to avoid working with a planet and its energy when it is moving retrograde.

Finally, if you want to refine the timing even more, it means starting your working at the appropriate planetary hour for it. Planetary hours are an ancient system developed by the Chaldeans. Under the planetary hour system, the day is divided up into 24 planetary hours starting with sunrise and sunset. Planetary hours are calculated based on latitude, local sunrise and sunset times and local mean time correction, so they vary from place to place. There are some good books out that explain fairly simply how you can figure out the planetary hours based on your location. However, there are also books that show a generic table of planetary hours. You can use this but be aware it is more accurate if you calculate them out yourself, using your particular latitude, the local sunrise and sunset times and utilizing your local mean time correction (you can get your local mean time correction from a local astrologer, the library or even a local weatherman!).

There is also a simple Kabbalistic way of figuring the basic Planetary Hours. Only 7 planets are used in this system and they have a planetary order - Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury and Moon (in descending order based on the length of time it takes each one to move through the Zodiac). Planetary hours begin at dawn, and the first hour after dawn is ruled by the planet of the day (i.e., Sun - Sunday, Moon - Monday, etc.). Now, no matter which day of the week you start with, if you start with the "Planet of the Day" and keep to this planetary order, you will end up with the hours all in order.

As you can see, all this can get very involved.

But each step you take in further refining the timing of your magickal working hones the focus of that working and empowers it that much more. Combining these elements of astrological timing with the correct elemental and/or color correspondences helps to further focus your intent and your will, thereby assisting you in manifesting what you wish to bring about by your working.

Powder Magick

Powders are not made to be breathed in, but sprinkled around your house. Do not allow children or animals to ingest. Please make sure you do not have a rection to such herbs and read the homeopathic herbal remedies page and the herbal correspondences page for more inormation.

The Making of Powders
Powders have long been an integral part of folk magic. They consist of ground herbs which are sprinkled to release their powers. A powder is an incense never burned, a sachet never worn.

Simply grind herbs as finely as possible. To save time you can buy ground herbs, but doing so cheats you of really getting in touch with them. While mortaring the herbs, during the whole long process, visualize... imagine.. .see your magical goal. The power lies within herbs and within ourselves. If we don't empower powders, incense or oils, if we don't accurately "program" them with our magical goals through visualization and concentration, such mixtures will have only slight effects. If you forget the empowerment, you might as well forget the magic.

Using Magickal Powders
The easiest method is to simply scatter them when and where you need their energies. Other methods are also available:

*Sprinkle the powder in a circle around you, beginning and ending in the East and moving clockwise. Sit within this circle and absorb the powder's energies.

*Those who work with crystals and stones can add powders to their rituals. Sprinkle the appropriate powder around the crystal (or crystals) as it lays on the altar to increase its power.

*Sprinkle powders around candles before being burned to boost their energies.

*Scatter a ritually appropriate powder over the altar before spells.

*Sprinkle on the altar in specific shapes to use as focal points for visualization: protection powder in pentagrams; love powder in hearts; psychic powders in circles. It doesn't matter if the powder remains in the shape for long. And so on, as your imagination teaches you.

But remember-do this solely for positive purposes, to affect your possessions, yourself or others from whom you've obtained permission. All manipulative magic is negative magic and will rebound on the magician.
One note: some powders, particularly those that contain dragon's blood, will stain carpets, bed sheets, clothing and other materials. Be aware of this when sprinkling.

The Conjuration of the Four Elements, by Eliphas Levi.

The Conjuration of the Four Elements, by Eliphas Levi.
The four elementary forms separate and specify by a kind of rough outline,
the created spirits whom the universal movement disengages from the
central fire. Everywhere spirit works and fecundates matter by life; all
matter is animated; thought and soul are everywhere. In seizing upon the
thought that produces the diverse forms, we become the master of forms and
make them serve for our use.

The astral light is completely filled with souls that it disengages in the
incessant generation of being; souls have imperfect wills which can be
dominated and used by more powerful wills. They then form great invisible
chains, and can occasion or determine grand elementary commotions.
Phenomena ascertained in the processes of magic and all those recently
verified by M. Eudes de Merville have no other causes.

Elementary spirits are like young children. They torment those more who
busy themselves with them, unless one has control of them by means of
superior rationality and great severity. These are the spirits which we
designate under the name of "occult elements."

These spirits are those who often prepare disquieting or fantastic dreams.
They are those who produce the movements of the divining rod, and the raps
on walls and furniture. But they can never manifest any other thought than
our own, and if we are not thinking, they talk to us with all the incoherence
of dreams. They reproduce good and evil indifferently, because they are
without free will and consequently have no responsibility. They show
themselves to ecstatics and somnambulists under incomplete and fugitive
forms. This occasioned the nightmares of Saint Antony, and, very probably,
the visions of Swedenborg. They are neither souls in hell nor spirits guilty of
mortal sin; they are simply inquisitive and inoffensive. We can employ or
abuse them like animals or children. Therefore the magus who employs their
help assumes a terrible responsibility, for he will have to expiate all the evil
which he makes them do, and the greatness of his torments will be
proportionate to the extent of the power which he will have exercised
through their agency.

In order to control elementary spirits, and thus become the king of the occult
elements, we must have previously undergone the four trials of the ancient
initiations. As these no longer exist, it is necessary to supply their place byanalogous actions, such as exposing oneself without fear in a conflagration, of crossing a gulf upon the trunk of a tree or upon a plank, or scaling a steep
mountain during a storm, or getting away from a cascade, or from a
dangerous whirlpool by swimming. The man who fears water will never
reign over the undines; he who is afraid of fire cannot command the
salamanders; as long as we are subject to dizziness we must leave the sylphs
in peace, and not irritate the gnomes; for inferior spirits only obey a power
that is proved to them by showing itself their master even in their own
element.

When we have acquired by boldness and practice this incontestable power,
we may impose upon the elements the mandate (verbe) of our will, by
special consecrations of air, fire, water, and earth. This is the indispensable
beginning of all magic operations.

We exercise the air by blowing from the direction of the four cardinal points
while saying:

Spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas, et inspiravit in
facian hominis spiraculum vitae. Sit Michael dux
meus, et Sabtabiel servus meus, in luce etper lucem.
Fiat verbum halitus meus; et imperabo spiritibus aeris
hujus, et refraenabo equos solis voluntate cordis nei, et
cogitatione mentis meae et nutu oculi dextri. Erorciso
igitur te, creatura aeris, per Pentagrammaton et in
nomine Tetragrammaton, in quibus sunt voluntas firma
et fides recta. Amen. Sela, fiat. Qu'il en soit ainsi. 1

Next we recite the prayer of the Sylphs, after having traced in air their sign
with the plume of an eagle.
PRAYER OF THE SYLPHS
Spirit of light! Spirit of wisdom! whose breath gives and takes away again
the forms of all things! Thou, in whose presence the life of being is a
shadow which changes, and a vapor which passes away. Thou who
ascendest the clouds and movest on the wing of the winds. When thou
breathes! forth, infinite spaces are peopled! When thou inhalest, all that
comes from thee returns to thee! Endless movement in eternal stability, be
thou eternally blest! We praise thee and bless thee in the changing empire ofcreated light, of shadows, of reflections and of images; and we long
unceasingly for thine immutable and imperishable light. Let the ray of thy
intelligence and the heat of thy love penetrate even to us; then what is
movable will become fixed; the shadow will become a body; the spirit of the
air will become a soul; the dream will become a thought, and we shall no
longer be borne away by the tempest, but shall hold the bridle of the winged
steeds of the morning, and shall direct the course of the evening winds that
we may fly into thy presence. O spirit of spirits! O eternal soul of souls! O
imperishable breath of life! O creative inspiration. 2
O mouth which inspires
and respires the existence of all beings in the flux and reflux of thy eternal
Word, which is the divine ocean of movement and of truth. Amen!

We exorcise water by the imposition of hands, by the breath, and by Speech,
while mingling in it the consecrated salt, with a little of the ashes which
remain in the perfuming pan. The sprinkler is made with branches of
vervain, of periwinkle, 3 of sage, of mint, of valerian, of ash and of basil, tied
by a thread from the distaff of a virgin, with a handle from a walnut-tree
which has not yet borne fruit, and upon which you will engrave with a magic
dagger the characters of the seven spirits. You will bless and consecrate
separately the salt, and the ashes of the perfume, in saying:

UPON THE SALT

In isto sale sit sapientia, et ab omni corruptione servet
mentes nostras et corpora nostra, per Hochmael et in
virfute Rauch-Hochmael, recedant ab isto fantasmata
hylae ut sit sal coelestis, sal terrae et terra salis, ut
nutrietur bos trituraus et addat vpei nostrae cornua tauri
volantis. Amen. 4

UPON THE ASHES

Revertatur cinis adfontem aquarum viventium, etfiat
terra fructificans, etgerminet arborem vitaeper tria
nomina, quae sunt Netsah, HodetJesod, in principle et
in fine, per alpha et Omega qui sunt in spiritu Azoth.
Amen. 5

IN MINGLING THE WATER, THE SALT, AND THE
ASHES

In sale sapientiae aeternae, et in aqua regenerationis, et
in cinere germinante terram novam, omnia fiant per
Eloim Gabriel, Raphael et Uriel, in saecula et aeonas.
Amen. 6
EXORCISM OF THE WATER

Fiat firmamentum im medio aquarum et separet aquas
ab aquis, quae superius sitcut quaee superius, ad
perpetranda miracula rei unius. Sol ejus pater est, luna
mater et ventus hanc gestavit in utero suo, ascendit a
terra ad coelum et rursus a coelo in terram descendit.
Exorciso te, creatura aquae, ut sis mihi speculum Dei
vivi in operibus ejus, et fons vitae, et ablutio
pecatorum. Amen. 7

PRAYER OF THE UNDINES

Terrible king of the sea! Thou who boldest the keys of the cataracts of
heaven, and who enclosest the subterranean waters in the hollow places of
the earth! King of the deluge and of rains, of springtime! Thou who openest
the sources of streams and fountains! Thou who commandest the moisture
(which is like the blood of the earth) to become the sap of plants! We adore
and invoke thee! Speak to us, ye moving and changeable creatures! Speak to
us in the great commotions of the sea, and we will tremble before thee.
Speak to us also in the murmur of the limpid waters, and we will desire thy
love. O immensity in which all the rivers of being lose themselves, which
ever spring up anew in us! O ocean of infinite perfections! Height which
beholdeth thee in the depth! Depth which breathes thee forth in the height!
Bring us to the true life through intelligence and love! Lead us to
immortality through sacrifice, in order that one day we may be found worthy
to offer thee water, blood, and tears, for the remission of sins. Amen.

We exorcise fire by casting in it salt, incense, white resin, camphor, and
sulphur, and by pronouncing three times the three names of the genii of fire:
Michael, king of the sun and of lightning; Samael, king of volcanoes; and Anael,
prince of the astral light. Next by reciting the prayer of the
Salamanders.

Immortal, eternal, ineffable and uncreated Father of all things I who are
borne upon the incessantly rolling chariot of Worlds which are always
turning; Ruler of the ethereal immensity where the throne of thy power is
elevated; from whose height thy dread-inspiring eyes discover all things, and
thy exquisite andsacred ears hear all; Listen to thy children whom thou hast
loved from the beginning of the ages; for thy golden, great, and eternal
majesty is resplendent above the world and the starry heavens. Thou art
raised above them O sparkling fire! There thou dost illumine and support
thyself by thine own splendor; and there comes forth from thine essence
overflowing streams of light which nourish thine infinite spirit. That infinite
spirit nourishes all things, and renders this inexhaustible treasure of
substance always ready for the generation which fashions it and which
receives in itself the forms with which thou hast impregnated it from the
beginning. From this spirit those most holy kings who surround thy throne,
and who compose thy court, derive their origin. O Father Universal! Only
One! O Father of blessed mortals and immortals! Thou hast specially created
powers who are marvelously like thine eternal thought and adorable essence.
Thou hast established them superior to the angels who announce to the
world thy wishes. Finally thou hast created us in the third rank in our
elementary empire. There our continual employment is to praise thee and
adore thy wishes. There we incessantly burn with the desire of possessing
thee, O Father! O Mother! the most tender of all mothers! O admirable
archetype of maternity and pure love! O Son, the flower of sons! O Form of
all forms; soul, spirit, harmony and number of all things. Amen.

We exorcise the earth by the sprinkling of water, by the breath and by fire,
with the perfumes proper for each day, and we say the prayer of the gnomes.
Invisible King who has taken the earth as a support, and who has dug
abysses in order to fill them with the omnipotence! Thou whose name
makest the arches of the world tremble! Thou who makest the seven metals
circulate in the veins of stone; Monarch of seven luminaries! Rewarder of
subterranean workmen! bring us to the desirable air and to the kingdom of
light. We watch and work without respite. We seek and hope by the twelve
stones of the Holy City, for the talismans which are buried by the magnetic
nail which passes through the center of the earth. Lord! Lord! Lord! Have
pity upon those who suffer! Enlarge our hearts! Let us be free and raise up
our heads! Exalt us! O stability and movement! O Day invested by night! O
Darkness veiled in light! O Master who never retainest the wages of thy
workmen! O silvery whiteness! O Golden Splendor! O Crown of Diamonds,
living and melodious! Thou who bearest the sky upon thy finger, like a ring
of sapphire! Thou who hidest under the earth, in the kingdom of gems, the
wonderful seed of stars! All hail! Reign; and be the Eternal Dispenser of
riches, of which thou hast made us the guardians. Amen.
We most observe that the special kingdom of the Gnomes is at the North;
that of the salamanders at the south; that of the sylphs at the east; and that of
the Undines at the west. They influence the four temperaments of men (i. e.,
the Gnomes, the melancholic; the Salamanders, the sanguine; the Undines,
the phlegmatic; and the Sylphs, the bilious). Their signs are as follows: the
hieroglyphs of the bull for the Gnomes, and we command them with the
sword; of the lion for the Salamanders, and we command them with the
forked wand, or the magic trident; of the eagle for the Sylphs, and we
command them with the holy pentacles; finally with Aquarius for the
Undines, and we evoke them with the cup of libations. Their respective
sovereigns are, Gob for the Gnomes, Djiu for the Salamanders, Paralda for
the Sylphs, and Nicksa for the Undines.

When an elementary spirit comes to torment, or at least to annoy the
inhabitants of this world, we must conquer it by means of air, water, fire and
earth, blowing, sprinkling, burning perfumes, and tracing on the earth the
star of Solomon and the sacred pentagram. These figures should be perfectly
regular, and made either with coals from the consecrated fire, or with a reed
dipped in diverse colors which we mix of pulverized magnet. Then, while
holding in the hand the pentacle of Solomon, and taking by turns the sword,
the wand, and the cup, we pronounce in these terms and in a loud voice the
conjuration of the four.

Caput mortuum, impeert tibi Dominus per vivum et devotum serpentem.
Cherub, imperet tibi Dominus per Adam Jotchavah!
Aquila errans, imperet tibi Dominus per alas Tauri.
Serpens, imperet tibi Dominus tetragrammaton per angelum et leonem!
Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Anael!
Fluat U dor per spiritum Eloim.
Maneat Terra per Adam lot-Chavah.
Fiat Firmamentum per lahuvehu-Zebaoth.
Fiat Judicium per ignen in virtute Michaels. 8

Angel with the dead eyes, obey or flow away with this holy water.

Winged bull labor or return to earth; if thou art not willing that I prick thee
with this sword. Chained eagle, obey this sign, or withdraw before this
breath. Moving serpent, crawl at my feet, or be tormented by this sacred fire
and be dissipated with the perfumes I burn therein.
Let the water return to water! Let a fire burn! Let air circulate! Let earth fall
upon the earth, by virtue of the pentagram which is the morning star, and in
the name of the Tetragram, which is written in the center of the cross of
light. Amen.

The sign of the Cross adopted by the Christians does not belong to them
exclusively. It is also kabalistic, and represents the contrasts, and the
quaternary equilibrium of the elements.

We see by the occult stanza of the Lord's Prayer, which we have indicated in
our Dogma, 9 that there were primitively two modes of making it, or at least
two very different formulas to distinguish it. One reserved for the priests and
initiated; the other granted to neophytes and the profane. Thus, for example,
said, "To Thee ;" then he added, "belong," and continued while carrying his
hand to his breast, "the kingdom"; then to his left shoulder "Justice," to the
right shoulder, "and mercy." Next he Joined the two hands adding "in the
generating cycles."

Tibi sunt Malchut et Geburah et Chesed per oeonas. 10

The sign of the Cross which is absolutely and magnificently kabalistic,
which the profanations of Gnosticism have caused (he Church militant and
official to completely lose. This sign, made in this way, should precede and
terminate the conjuration of the Four.
In order to control and subject elementary spirits we must never yield to the
defects which characterize them. Thus a light and capricious mind can never
govern the sylphs. An effeminate, cold, and changeable nature will never
control the undines. Anger irritates the salamanders, and covetous rudeness
renders those whom it enslaves the sport of the gnomes.

But it is necessary to be as prompt and active as the sylphs; as flexible and
attentive to images as the undines. As energetic and strong as the
Salamanders; as laborious and patient as the gnomes; in a word, we must
conquer them in their strength, without ever allowing ourselves to be
enthralled by their weaknesses. When we shall be well fixed in this
disposition, the entire world will be at the service of the wise operator. He
will go out during the storm and the rain will not touch his head; the wind
will not derange even a single fold of his garments; he will go through fire
without being burned; he will walk on the water, and will behold the
diamonds through the crust of the earth. These promises which may seem
hyperbolical are only so in the minds of the vulgar; for though the sage does
not do materially and precisely the things which these words express, he will
do many greater and more wonderful. In the meantime it is not to be doubted
that individuals can direct the elements by the will to a certain extent, and
change or really stop their effects.

Why, for example, if it is ascertained that certain individuals in a state of
ecstasy lose their weight for the moment, could we not walk or glide upon
the water? Saint Medard's convulsionaries felt neither fire nor sword, and
begged as a relief the most violent blows and the most incredible tortures.
Are not the strange ascensions and wonderful equilibrium of certain
somnambulists a revelation of these hidden forces of nature. But we live in
an age in which men have not the courage to confess the miracles they
witness; and if anyone says, "I have seen or have done myself the things
which I relate," he will be told, "either you are making sport of us or you are
sick." It is better to keep silence and act.
The metals that correspond to the four elementary forms are gold and silver
for air; mercury for water; iron and copper for fire; and lead for earth.
Talismans are prepared from them, having relation to the forces which they
represent, and to the effects proposed to be obtained.

Divination by the four elementary forms named Aeromancy, hydromancy,
pyromancy, and geomancy, is made in diverse ways, which all depend upon
the will and transparency or imagination of the operator.

In truth the four elements are only instruments to aid second-sight. Secondsight
is the faculty of seeing in the astral light. This second-sight is as natural
as the first sight, or the sensible and ordinary sight, but it can only act
through the abstraction of the senses.

Somnambulists and ecstatics enjoy second-sight naturally; but this sight is
more lucid as the abstraction becomes more complete.

The abstraction is produced by astral intoxication; that is, by a
superabundance of light, which completely saturates the nervous system, and
consequently renders it inactive.
Sanguine temperaments are more disposed to Aeromancy; bilious to
pyromancy, phlegmatic to geomancy, and melancholic to hydromancy.
Aeromancy is confirmed by oneiromancy or divination by dreams;
pyromancy is supplemented by magnetism; hydromancy by divination with
crystals; geomancy by fortune telling with cards. These are transpositions
and perfectings of methods.

But divination, in whatever manner we may operate, is dangerous, or at least
useless, for it disheartens the will; 11
consequently it restricts freedom, and
fatigues the nervous system.

Herbs For Purification

Herbs For Purification

Ever felt a sensation that something just wasn't right? Your house didn't seem like home anymore, a visitor left and didn't take their bad energy with them? Maybe purification is in order. There are many herbs with purifying properties: Bay, Mugwort, Yarrow, Rosemary, Sage, Angelica, Basil, and Juniper to name a few.

Powder the herbs you wish to use (use 3, 7 or 9 different herbs, or multiples of these) and make a purification incense. As you charge the herbal mix, visualize a crisp, clean breeze blowing all the negativity out of the house. Then light the incense and carrying it through every room in the house. As you go from room to room, visualize the incense driving away any leftover negativity. This should be done with all the
windows open and pets and other people out of the house.

It is good to purify a new home, before you move in, just to make sure the previous tenant didn't leave any nastiness behind. A favorite is to brew up some rosemary tea (nice and strong) and dip a branch of rosemary, rue or yarrow into the tea and thoroughly asperge (sprinkle) every room in the house. While doing this visualize washing away of all
negative influences. The rosemary is a wonderful odor-chaser as well; it leaves a clean, fresh smelling house to return to.

Many people like to purify by smudging. Sage is a very commonly used smudge. If you can gather and dry your own wild sage for smudging, do so. Just light a sprig of dried sage (You can carry a little tray or saucer under the lit sprig, in case some burning bit drops) and carry it from room to room, visualizing any negativity being replaced by the purifying fragrance of the sage. One can also make a protective sigil at
each window and doorway, thus purifying and protecting in one fell swoop!

Follow up your purification with a new protective charm, and you should be good to go for several months. Many witches and pagans do a purification and protection sequence every full moon, others every quarter and some only when needed.

Tuesday Correspondences

The day of Mars...also Ares, Tiwaz, Tiw (from whom it is named), Tuisco, and Tyr. Tuesday is ruled by Mars, whose Magickal influences are: Passion, courage, aggression, and protection. Tuesday comes under the influence of Mars, the planet associated with vitality, passion, ambition, and raw, unabashed power. Mars energy makes the mind acute, and the body restless; therefore, on Tuesday we are likely to exert ourselves physically and take action to achieve goals. This day is dynamic and high-spirited, and the prevailing energies may include carelessness and destructiveness as well, so it is good to be cautious---especially while traveling. Tuesday is the proper day of the week to perform rituals involving courage, physical strength, revenge, surgery, and the breaking of negative spells.

Tiw was a God of athletics, combat, and law.
Consider meals to improve physical well-being, encourage justice, or increase strength and strategy.
