Black Magick

Magick Imagination

The Spiritual world is a very very large place.  It has many dimensions and level within it, some of which are incomprehensible to the human mind.  So then how does one interpret all the magickal energies that appear during trances, deep meditations, or astral projections.  The Answer is with a great power that exist inside us all, the Imagination

The Imagination is one of the most powerful tools we have access too, for any area especially magick.  Even Albert Einstein is quoted as saying “The Imagination is more important than knowledge.”  He was very right.  In Black Magick the power of the imagination allows us to interpret energies, access our higher mystical abilities and with it we can make our spells more powerful.  Think about it for a second, what spell seems more powerful:  One where you are merely chanting words?  Or one where you are using your imagination and living in your spell,  experiencing and breathing every second of it? 

When casting spells, if you want them to be effective, it is essential that you use your imagination and competely throw your being into that spell. In all spells you need to be able to visualize your outcome and what you wish to attain from casting that spell. The imagination is the device that is used for this.

The Imagination is the gateway in which we can communicate to our higher self and access our higher world.  It is an ability that must be developed for anyone who is serious about magick.  The imagination also allows your mind to go beyond what is already knows and access new thoughts and ideas, some of which are even unknown to society. 

In Black magick we believe that we create our own reality and everything in it.  Using the power of the imagination helps one to craft that reality and can become the conduit for manifestating that reality into your life. 

The Imagination is used when one astral travels, or visits their higher world. It is that part of your brain which is used to generate pictures and create images using the energy that comes to you.  Without an imagination magick would be an impossible thing to attain. 

Aside from all that the imagination is a skill like any other that needs to be trained in order for it to grow and improve. As children we seem to have a better imagination than we do as adults. That is becasue the concept of the imagination is usually shunned by society as we are taught as we grow up, to abandon our fantasies and desires, as they can only lead to sensless dreaming.

In the first stage of the imagination it can be used as an escape from the real world. But with practise one can train their imagination to become powerful and an extension of ones own magick and energies. The imagination can become so powerful that if you imagine someone touching you, you will feel it. If you imagine an object in front of you, you will see it as if it is really there. Energy is all around us and the imagination can harness that energy and create things out of it. This with training will allow you to creat your own reality and everything in it.

People are afraid of power. This is one reason why in society magick, the imagination and the spiritual world are feared. People fear their own power and they fear other peoples power. This fear is irrational and keeps you from attaining your true power. Do not fear what you have inside of you, embrace it. Let your imagination go and see the wonderful, creative ideas that you can dream up.

Ever great accomplishment in society started with a though, a simple dream, the use of the imagination. Do not take this skill as a simple device used to entrance children.  It is a great tool especially the realm of black magick and spell casting.  The imagination helps us to grow and expand our understanding of the world.  It can also releave stress by allowing us a place of refuge.  With a trained imagination your dreams become more vivid and the hidden messages that once elluded you can be uncovered. 

Don’t doubt your own power or the power that is locked away in your mind.  The mind is a powerful tool that should be embraced, not wasted.

Happy Visions,

Magickal Days

Yule Activity

The last few days have been interesting.  With Yule and all the Magickal exercises I have been doing.  Yule is a time of renewal, when you cast away the energies of the past and look towards the future.  It is a time to let go or things that are holding you back and set new goals for the future.  Yule marks the death of the Sun god and so the death of the past.  The Sun god being reborn again in spring, marking a new beginning. 

This Year for Yule I designed a Ritual for myself to help clear away the old energies and bring in some better ones. 

The First part of the ritual was a cleansing ritual.  I fasted for a day in order to cleanse my body.  Then I prepared a bath and using dead sea salt cleaned my body and soul of toxins they may have accumulated.   After the bath I preformed a specially designed spell that was designed to let go of energy and release them into the void so that they can return to me renewed and refreshed, ready to start a whole new year.   In Black magic we are all about renewance and creating that which we desire.  In order to make that possible we have to cleanse our bodies of past energies that may be holding us back. 

The Cleansing ritual took me about an hour to complete but it was very refreshing and I felt lighter afterwards.  As if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders.  Then came the fun part, Stage 2 of the ritual. 

 The second part of the ritual was  designed to attract into my life everything I want to attain in the new year.  For starters I made a list of everything I wanted to attain, goals, objects, ect.  Then I created an art piece of what I wanted, thus pouring my creative energy into the manifestation process.  Believe me art is a very powerful tool when it comes to black magick.  Some people say that art is a form of magic. 

For those of you who have my book, I did the three images in the chapter of dark energies, and I took every picture in the book and touched them up using Photoshop

 Anyway, after I completed the art piece I preformed another spell which is designed to bring to me all that I desire.  The spell consists of me sitting in the altar I have created and focusing intensely on each object, a process that can take a while but it is well worth it and a great way to start the new year.    I focus intensely on each object.  One thing I have come to notice is that I can feel when I am in alignment with the object.  When the object is far away my third eye will move around, almost as if looking for the energy.  When I begin the attraction process I will actually feel my third eye connect to the energy of the object and start to move it towards me.  It is a very cool technique and can be used for many things;  object, people, money, houses, ect.

After I focus on each item.  I finished it with an invocation to a diety who helps grant ones desires. Then I cleared the room and put the altar away.  I left the past behind me and prepared to walk down the path towards my future.  If you spend all your time focusing on the past.  You will stray off your path and lose focus of your future.

A big thing on my list of thing to attract is new books, and book shelves.  I LOVE to read and I LOVE books, they are the most glorious thing in the world.  I can spend hours reading, lost in the world of magic. 

 Also to all of you who have sent me e-mails and posted comments on my blog I am very grateful to all of you.  Your guys make Black Magic Secrets possible.  I love hearing from you so keep on posting comments.  Also come visit me often, You never know when I might post another spell or magickal present.   I wish you you all prosperity and abundance in the future….

Thank you!!:)

Magickal Days

Happy Yule

Well as you all know, yesterday was the ancient Pagan holiday of Yule.  The End of December is historically known as the Winter solstice and the darkest time of the year.  Truly a very powerful night filled with darker energies.   This is the longest night and shortest day of the year. 

 The holiday of Yule Began in the ancient times and was celebrated by the Germanic tribes.  The holiday was celebrated based on the lunar calendar to assure that they got the longest day of the year.  Now most of our celebration occurs on the 21st just to make is easier.   During the winter months especially in the north it would get very cold and the potential for people to die was very high.  So in order to survive people would band together and share their resources to ensure the survival of the entire community.   This was common especially in Celtic societies where the winters were chilly. 

Food was scarce during this time so people would often put of feasts to ensure that everyone got fed and raise spirits so that people would be happy and filled with joy. A pig was also slaughtered on Yule so that everyone could feast.  When people were happy and well fed they had a better chance of surviving the cold. This is where the idea of holiday feasting originated from.  Also in order to spread merriment and cheer the houses were decorated with holly and mistle toe to liven every-ones spirit.  The exchanging of gifts was common in this time as well as it was a gesture to show how much they appreciated everyone for their hard work. 

Another Pagan tradition was the decorating of trees with candles. The original use for this was so that anyone who got lost in the cold could find their way home by following the lit up trees. This was a safety precaution to make sure that people did not get lost and die.  Also the lights on the tree also added in the lifting of spirits. 

So as a Black magicians what spells are good to cast on Yule.  Yule is a good night for all types of spells especially darker spells as it is the longest night of the year.  Some spells that I like to do are renewal spells where I cleanse myself of unwanted energies and prepare myself for the new year.   I will set goals and meditate on those goals attracting those energies to me.   This purging spells helps me to let go of unwanted thought and move forward.  It is also a very good night for prosperity and abundance spells because it is a time of giving and getting. 

I also heard an interesting thing from an old witch last night.  She told me that on this night Demons walk the earth and can make contact with the living.   This is a good night to Preform Evocations on as the energies as attuned to it. 

as for me it is snowing right now which is awsome, and I am getting ready to go to a yule festival that some of my witch friends have put on. 

What did you all do for Yuke?  If you want share you stories. 

Happy Yule,

Magick Spells

Free Money Spell

Here is a little something that everyone can practise with.  It is a money spell that I have tested in the past and know of it’s efficiency. 

What you need……

~3 Green Candles

~A piece of fresh paper and pen

~ A piece of Malachite

~Burn Jasmine, Mint, or Orange essential oils.

 Step 1

First you will want to clear a space to preform the spell.  By clearing a space I mean you want to clean the area and cleanse it of unwanted energies.  If you have your own method then use that one but one that works is going around the room with a smudge stick and using it to purify the house.  A Smudge stick is basically a stick of sage. 

Next you will want to purify yourself by taking a shower or bath before preforming the spell.  

You will also want to meditate before the spell in order to connect with the spiritual energies.  During the meditation focus on money.   

Step 2

Prepare the altar by first getting a diffuser full of the essential oil of your choice and lighting it.  Then in the place that you have selected to preform the spell, place the three candles in front of you in a triangle shape.  Do not light them yet.   

On the piece of paper, write out the amount of money that you would like to attain.  

In your left hand hold the piece of Malachite. 

If you wish you can place in the altar an image of a deity of wealth and money, such as Lakshmi.

Step 3

Stand before the altar you have created and take a moment to connect to the spirits.  Make sure that you entire focus is only on the spell and nothing else.  Light the candles going from left to right and as you light each one say…

“money comes to me”

As you say these words focus on money moving towards you.  Use you mental strength and see the image of the bills moving your way. 

Once you have lite all the candles.  Take a deep breath and then in your right hand pick up the piece of paper with the amount of money you wish to attain on it and gaze at it.  Only stare at it and let nothing break your focus. 

As you gaze at it say…

“This money is mine

This money of (insert amount) is coming to me

Money moves towards me” 

Repeat these lines at least 20 times focusing all the time on money moving towards you.  If you can feel energy feel the energy moving towards you in the form of money. 

Continue to focus on the amount and see it moving towards you and surrounding you, say…

“I am surrounded by money”

Repeat this at least 20 times.   Each time say it with more excitement and passion. 

See yourself surrounded by money, see the vision of all the money surrounding you.  Get so passionate about it that you can smell and feel the money touching your skin. 

Become completely entranced in your vision and live in the moment of the spell. 

Step 4

After you have connected to the energy and experienced the money surrounding you, take a deep breath and return to your normal state.  Blow out the candles going from right to left and put the altar away making sure to clear the room.  Place the piece of paper somewhere, where you will see it everyday and each time you look at is see the money coming towards you. 

The Malachite is also charged and you will want to put it in a safe place.

Clear the room again and you are done. 

Magick Spells

Secret of Money Spells

This is a topic that I get a lot of e-mails about.  It is so true everyone wants to have more money to do the things that they love in life. 

Image, you are a little straped for cash, so you decide to ask for spiritual aid.  You decide to preform a money spell.  Hoping that you can attract some more of the green stuff.  You go to your local metaphysical store and pick up the supplies and prepare your altar,  then you preform the neccessary steps and wait……..and wait………………………………and wait………….and then you get annoyed because nothing has happened except that you are out $20 for the supplies…….. 

The sad thing is that we are taught to fear and hate money.  Most of us have been told at one point in our lives that money is the root of all evil.  All the porblems in the world are caused from money, it is better to be poor and humble then to be rich and powerful right, rich people only got that way by screwing others, money is a scarce commodity…. Money is power and power corrupts….right??? 

WRONG!! As Black magicians we embrace power, power is a good thing, it is what we seek.  Power can go both ways as there are those who are corrupted by power and there are those who use power to help themselves and those around them. 

The only way to master the power without being corrupted, is to master yourself.    Black Magicians learn to control the power without being corrupted.  The only reason that power and money seem to corrupt is because the people it corrupts do not understand themselves and have a weak sense of self!  True power comes from within and once that is mastered you cannot be corrupted, only follow your will.   That power can be used to influence the world. 

When you have power you have the ability to express your will and craft your life is whatever way you want.  You basically live in a natural state with yourself.  True power,  coming from the essence of the core self, does not corrupt. 

Now back to the belief people have about money.  Money is not evil!  This belief is why so many money spells fail to work, because in the back of most peoples mind in the thought that having money makes you a bad person…………..  Believe me having money allows you to do what you want.  It does not make you a bad person.  Money can give you the power to impact the world.  Weather the person chooses to impact it for good or bad, that is the decision of the person.  Having money does not make one a bad person, having money allows you to create your dream life.    

Then there are those that believe that having money changes people and so subconsciously sabotage any attempt to get more money.   This is called a comfort zone, if you want to excel in black magick learn about comfort zones cause you’ll be pushing and breaking a lot of them.  Of course money will change you, all forms of growth change you….

Change always happens weather we like it or not.  If we try to keep everything the same we will become stagnant and nothing will work.  If you fear the change you will have negative results of that change.  But if you embrace the change and be willing to accept what will become of that change then it will be a (sometimes painful) over all wonderful process. 

 Money is a form of energy, a symbolic way to show appreciation for services preformed.  That is all it is….a SYMBOL!!! If you want to have effective money spells then start thinking of money as energy.  Just like when you cast a spell you are sending out energy, whenever you send out energy if you specify you will get it back in whatever form you wish.  Money is an energy so when casting your money spells see yourself sending out energy and then visualize that energy coming back to you in the form of money. 

Remember, you have to see the money coming towards you during the spell.  Focus solely on that image, hold the image of money moving towards you in your mind. 

 Start small with your money spells. you need to build up that confidence.  Spells will only work if you throw yourself into them and believe in your abilities.  Like anything if you do not believe in it your mind will sabotage it.  If you start with a small spell, then gets results you will be in a more confident position to preform more advanced money spells.   If you are confident in your casting abilities then by all means cast a powerful money spell and watch it come rolling in.   If you cast a spell to have a million dollars…but you do not believe that you can attain a million dollars the spell will fail.  If however you “truly believe” you can attain a million dollars then cast the spell and you will get it!

Personally I have made money appear out of thin air.  In high school I always found money on the ground to buy lunch with.  A friend of mine cast a money spell when she was having financial difficulties and the next day she found $200….. Money spells are very powerful when done right. 

 Keep that in mind and remember focus!

Happy casting,

Black Magick

Growing pain in Black Magic

In Black Magic,  well, in all forms of magick one strives for enlightenment, power and connections to the self.  Unlike some books will say,  there is always going to be some painful realizations.  When you start on a journey such as this, it is never an easy thing.  There are always obstacles to over come and growing pains.  

Just remember, Black magicians never give up and will keep striving for mastery…

It is not all bad, there will be moments of sheer bliss, and when one begins true mastery these will come quite frequently, and eventually will always be.   But, in the beginning stages, it can be rocky. 

In Black magicmost of these obstacles are never on the outside, but on the inside.   In order to be a true Black magicianwith access to the higher powers and abilities far beyond what you currently think is possible, you need to master YOURSELF

This is one of the hardest tasks in the world.  Think about it, most of the time people listen to what others tell them to do.  From a child we have  parents, teachers, people telling us what is good for us and what we need to do.  The  child never has a chance to breath and listen to themselves.   On top of that, we are taught that taking care of ourselves first is selfish and wrong.  How can we take care of anyone if we cannot take care of ourselves.  It is not selfish to put yourself first, it is actually the most selfless thing you can do.  Ponder that one for a while. 

We are taught to be the servants, when in reality we need to be the masters. 

It can be lonely and scary looking into yourself and actually listening to what is going on down there.  Gazing into the mind can lead to madness,  that is why some people who walk this path end up in the hospital.   It is essential though.  You must know yourself and strive to do what you want and what you will.  It is your path and only you know what is right for you while walking it. 

 When you begin to listen to yourself on the inside, you will begin to see the power that you have.  You will become strong and confident and able to overcome all obstacles effortlessly.

Once the mind is mastered, Black magickspells and rituals will be easy for you.   The first stages of any new skill are always hard.  You will be fighting with all your old behaviours,  the hardest part is breaking those behaviours and believing in yourself.   If you love and respect yourself, spells work 10 times better.  When you are connected to yourself and living in each moment you are able to summon more energy inside of you and manipulate the energy around you.   When you learn to Focus 100% on each thing you do during the day the world will appear simpler and you will bend it to your will.

 Some things that happen when you begin to grow and experience new, powerful energies is that you can feel like you are on top of the world.  Or you can feel down in the dumps.  These highs and lows happen, even to me.  As long as you keep working towards understanding yourself and growing, then eventually they will end.  

If you devote yourself to black magick there will be other trials that you must overcome and trials you must pass.  depending on how far you go some of these are very intense.  Each down you overcome be joyful and know that you have grown from the experience. 

It is important when practising black magick to not push yourself and only do things that you feel comfortable with.  Only do what you feel is right for you and never let anyone talk you into anything you do not want to do.    Alwasy strive to grow, but be mindful of your current states.  You must know yourself and be present with yourself if order to be a successful Black Magician

Happy Casting,

Tools and Books

Crystals and Black Magic Rituals

It is a known fact that crystals are very powerful tools, especially when doing black magick.  They are known for their healing properties as well as their ability to direct and manipulate energy.   They are used is all schools of magick.  

Each crystal contains different energies with different properties.  For example Quartz is a great crystal for removing harmful energies from the human aura, while Malachite is a good crystal to have if you want more money (add malachite to your money spells to increase the amount of money coming to you). 

 The healing power that crystals carry within them is amazing.  Not just for healing others but healing yourself.  In Black magick it is important to take care of yourself and using cystals can help with that.    Crystals are charged with energy that resonates an energy field around them.    The crystals are used to absorb the harmful energy off the human aura and transform it into healthy energy.  This can be done as simply as carrying around certain types of crystals.   

Crystals have also been know to amplify psychic powers and other magickal abilities.   This makes them very useful in black magick rituals and practises. When you add a crystal to your rituals depending on the type of crystal and what you do with it you can increase the effectiveness of your spells.   In some spells just creating a circle of crystals will increase the power of the area and your spell will be that much more effective.  Crystals can be used in any spell or ritual as there is a wide variety.   

They say that the paths of Atlantis were lined with crystals and that is how they were able to communicate telepathically.   It is also why they were so powerful and able to control the forces of nature as they did. 

 In some black magick rituals the spherical crystals of a darker colour can be used as a black mirror.  My black mirror is made out of Rainbow obsidian.  It acts as a perfect gate to other dimensions of the spirit world when I am scrying or using it to access other realms. 

 When one practises with a black mirror it is amazing how much can be revealed.   I have seen very interesting images, most of which have come to pass.  There are some instances where one can perfectly see into the future with the black mirror. 

Another thing crystals are commonly used for in black magic is binding an entity within the crystals to ask of it a favour.  This allows the magician to communicate with the entity.   This method is basically using a crystal for astral evocation.  There are a lot of black magic rituals that speak of binding entities withing crystals.  Why is this? well for starters crystals are very powerful and when their energy is used in the right way, they create a protection shield that can keep the entity contained within it. 

Now as much as I am for befriending the entities that one summons, only a fool summons entities without some protection for the first time.  Until you get a feel for the entity always use a protection shield.  Some magician will even say to ALWAYS use the shields.   

When the entity is called into the crystal you will be able to see them within it.  It will be like looking into another world as the crystal changes and within it you see the astral plane that the entity has appeared on.   This can only be done though if one has mastered the art of scrying as scrying opens the spiritual eyes.  Entities can only be seen through the spiritual eyes. 

It is not just for spells and rituals, even just having them in your house can change the energies in your house.  I have a large collection of crystals that help to keep the energy fresh and clear in my house.  Crystals are like an energy purifying.  They will absorb unwanted energy in your house and release good energy.  I have to clean my crystals at least once an month  to wash away all the unwanted energy they have collected. 

Crystals are pretty to look at but they also carry untapped energies that can be used for you magickal practises.  Do not discount them when you are creating your spells.  I would take some time, get a book and read up on them so that you have an understanding of how crystals can impact your life in a positive way. 

Here are some of my personal recommendations for great books on crystals…..

Black Magick

A Worthy Black Magick Goal

In Black magic there is a very useful skill that once learned can be applied to every area of your life.  Belive it or not, this skill is the Art of Evocation

 I would first like to note that there is a huge difference between Invocation and Evocation

 Invocation : Is a ritual or Prayer.  You call upon a diety and ask them to grant your desired request or to help you in an area of your life.  When you invoke a diety you are calling upon their energy bringing the presense of the entity into the room, then you can ask them to grant your request, such as protection, inspiration their presence at a ceremony, ect.   In some rituals the essence of the diety or spirit can enter the magician and inspire them. 

Invocation is relativly simple to preform and really just involves being devoted to your diety and genuinly asking them for guidance.   Like all magickal practises when preforming an invocation you must be focused in order for it to work properly.  Some different  forms of  Invocation are  Rituals, Prayers, Hymes, Meditation, ect.  All religions have their different forms of invocation.

Evocation is a little different.

Evocation :  In This art, you call forth a spirit, Demon, Angel or other diety and ask them to appear before you.  Where once they appear you ask them to grant a specific request.   When preforming an evocation you have to be very specific and remember to tell the entity to not harm your friends and family as in the spirit world things are a little different.

 There are many different ways to preform evocations rituals and they can be preformed on any type of spiritual entity our there.  The two most common are Angelics and Demonics. 

There are two ways to get the entity to appear, one is by evoking them to the Physical Plane which can be challenging and is the harder of the two methodes.  On the Physical Plane the entity has as harder time assuming a form and it can take longer and more energy to get them to appear.  Though this methode is effective it is not recommended for the beginner magician. 

 The next is an easier way to evoke an entity, it is evoking to the Astral plane via a black mirror.  This way is preferable to most magicians as it is easier for the entities so reveal images to you and communicate with you.   This way has it’s challenges, as all forms of evocation takes focus and a controled mind, but it is the easier of the two. 

 I have done many evocations in my time as I really enjoy preforming them.  I do not follow a lot of the old teachings where one must be cruel to the entity and bind it (I refuse to use a blasting rod).  I am actually very nice when I evoke and greatful to the entity for their help.  I have found that with that additude I have made some very good connections with the entities and had extra gifts befall upon me. 

If you want to master this skill then there is a book I recommend that is a must.  It is called Summoning Spirits by Konstantinos….

 Both Evocation and Invocation are very useful abilities and will be greatly beneficial to your Black Magick practises.  

 There is another ability that goes beyond these two, but I will save that for another day…

Black Magick

Power of the Elements

I woke up at the start of the weekend to a wonderful surprise….It was snowing!

 

Now I love the snow, it is one of my favorite weather conditions.  I love how beautiful it makes everything, and also how powerful it is.  When it snows I will start by going outside and meditating in it.  It helps to clear my mind and recharges my body.  I will then gather as much energy as I can.  The energy gathered by snow can be used for a number of things.  Protection is a big one.  Creating an energy shield while in a snow storm creates a shield that is very powerful and effective.   

Snow is a very powerful force!  Blizzards and intense and very dangerous as they contain a lot of energy that only a powerful person could survive.  The snow is full of energies just waiting to be tapped into.    

 Here is an interesting fact, Monks who practise meditation and have opened up the energy in their Chakras test their powers by going out into -40′C weather while wearing wet robes.  In the morning one of two things happens. The monk is either alive, in dry robes and the snow around him has melted, or they are dead.  The snow is a great tester of power, and those who can survive this element are very powerful people. 

When practising black magick never forget the power that harnessing the elements can add to your spells.  If you are doing a love spell adding fire  can excite the energy and make it more powerful. 

The elements are those forces which come from nature, Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Ether, Wood, Metal, ect.  They are very powerful tools and should not be overlooked when creating your spells and rituals. 

This is why using candles in spells increases its power and why magicians use wands, swords or athame’s.  All these things are symbolic of the elements and helps the Black magician to direct the energies and increase the effectiveness of the spell.  

Elements are powerful,  look at the power that nature possesses, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Blizzards, Floods…  All these things nature does effortlessly, yet they are devastating to us.  Use these forces in your spells, you won’t be disappointed!
