Fascination and the Aegishjalmur

Leave a reply

 

The power of fascination or enchantment is one of the more commonly given powers associated with practitioners of magic.  Yet, it seems to be the least mentioned ability in many books dealing with magic.  The only sources that I have yet to find that deal with it are Agrippa (in his classic 3 books) Paul Huson in Mastering Witchcraft, and Jason Miller in the Sorcerer’s Secrets.  It is such a useful technique; it is surprising that so many people seem to ignore it.

 

For myself, I have found that the aegishjalmur, or the helm of awe (or terror), is a most useful symbol in working this kind of magic, both in a general way and in working with the specific application when interacting with a specific person.  I also combine the aegishjalmur with the ideas and techniques presented by the three authors above, so it makes it a pretty effective tool in my bag of tricks.

 

When you are first starting out, I highly recommend actual putting the aegishjalmur on your forehead.  A method described in the galdrabok indicates doing so with your own spit, so work up a good mouthful of saliva (you’ll need it) and using your left index finger, put the aegishjalmur on your forehead. It’s not going to be perfect, so don’t try to make it that way. When you are finished, press your index finger into the center of the symbol and say:

 

“The helm of awe is upon my brow. Let all strife be stemmed, let all wrath be run away, Let all people look upon me with favor, as the Lady looks upon the Lord with favor and may the world and land be gracious as friends.”

 

Channel some ond into the symbol and then continue on about your day.  You could also use an appropriate condition oil to put the symbol on your forehead, but I find that makes me break out, and having facial blemishes doesn’t really help one in social interaction.

 

This is the basic set-up for working with the aegishjalmur and using it for persuasion and influence. When it comes time to work on someone specifically, well, you should already have done this.  When you find yourself entering into a situation where you want the influence of the helm, start channeling ond into the figure on your forehead.  Feel it light up with energy, and start glowing, and that glow starts to wrap itself around you. As you continue to power it, you should also start to feel it acting upon the third eye and perhaps feel ond flow into the subtle channels of the eyes from there.  I find that with fascination, eye contact is important.  The ond that will radiate from the eyes will carry emotions and desires with it, and for it to “hit” it needs to meet the eyes of the desired target.  So, make eye contact.  Often times the eye contact will instantly get the attention of the target once it is made, because in this day and age it seems eye contact is something that many people avoid.  Depending upon how you want to influence the target, try and keep your face relaxed but  following the general intention, i.e., try a subtle smile (practice it) if you are trying to entice the person, and do a subtle frown or tighten your jaw a little if you’re trying to intimidate the target.

Once you have the target’s gaze (even if for a second) then continue to move forward.  Play a game of cat and mouse, where you are present, but just out of reach.  Talk to them briefly, but then indicate you need to go elsewhere (to friends, refresh your drink) to give them space, but then return after a few minutes.  If you find the opportunity presents itself, give them an acceptable and friendly touch.  The touch should also be charged with ond and your intention, whether it is a handshake or an “accidental” tap with the elbow against their elbow or arm.  Of course, if all is going well, they should be paying rapt attention to you, and find ignoring your difficult.  If your goal is to get into close contact/quarters with the target, once that occurs, start delivering ond with your breath, your gaze and your touch, all channeled through the helm of awe.

Runes of Love

Love spells! Everyone wants love spells. When it comes to doing magic, often time when clients come many a reader, sorcerer or spiritual worker, they are looking for love, either to get new love, re-gain love that has been lost, or move a current love into a new situation, such as marriage. Of course, part of the field of Love spells, also includes spells that promote harmony among people, from married couples to families and communities.
It often seems to me that Love magic is the ignored part of working with runes. Maybe a footnote here, or a value given there, but in many books dealing with runes and rune magic, Love is often overlooked, although that maybe the prior trend of the “unpopularity” of love magic with the Neo-pagan movement. However, it’s pretty clear from some surviving written lore, that spells that promote love and harmony were definitely part of the Northern Tradition. I would like to turn to the Havamal in this case, and the runes described by the speaker.

The first stanza that identifies a spell dealing with promoting love (or in this case harmony) is the stanza of the eigth rune:

An eighth I know: which all can sing
for their weal if they learn it well;
where hate shall wax ‘mid the warrior sons,
I can calm it soon with that song

Where the hate and conflict among kin can be soothed through singers magic skill. The second stanza identifying love magic is the sixteenth rune:

A sixteenth I know: when all sweetness and love
I would win from some artful wench,
her heart I turn, and the whole mind change
of that fair-armed lady I love.
And the seventeenth:
A seventeenth I know: so that e’en the shy maiden
is slow to shun my love.
Being the clearest examples of what is recognized as love magic. Of course the singer indicates his mastery in the this art, as he is able to win the love of not only other skillful women, but even young shy women who are often harder to obtain.
To this end, I looked to the runes, seeking and identifying which runes resonate with the powers of love, harmony, and relationships. With my research I identified nine runes, which can be worked, separately or together, in master the arts of love magic.

In the ordering of the futhorc aettirs, the first rune identified is Kenaz. Kenaz, the torch, is the fires of passion. They ignite the feeling inside, a flame that reveals the desires, but also burns. The burning passion leaves little peace, until they have been satiated.
The next rune is Gebo. In Gebo we see the exchange of relationships, partnerships, the agreements, the contracts, the idea of dowry, union of people and the rules that govern that union. Gebo is the most unromantic side of love magic, the side that comes after “and they all lived happily ever after” which people often want to forget. It is having the skills in this side that make relationships succeed or fail, and being able to manage the give and take successfully will often help in being successful in whatever partnership is entered into.
The third rune of love is Wunjo. Joy is it’s name, and joy can be a wonderful, if temporal thing. This is one of the first runes I identify with harmony among people, although in this case it is usually familial harmony. The conflicts between spouses, between parents and children, between siblings, can all create a very unharmonious and dissonant environment. Wunjo is the joy and peace of happy family, and a happy familial home. It’s dark side can be the grasping for this temporal thing. When everything is sacrified, just so that one can maintain the illusion that life is free from strife, the grasping for joy can become a toxic quest, and the peace is shallow, and soon shattered.
Interestingly enough, a whole aettir is skipped here. I studied this for a while, but part of my understanding of the second aettir, the aettir of Hagal, is that it is the runes of warrior, and conflict. While there are runes here that might be useful in influence and command (which has sometimes role in the world of love spells) they are not really concerned with love per se, but with having influence over other people, to any end.
The fourth rune is Berkana. In Berkana is the love of a mother for it’s child in sense. It is nurturing, supportive, and steady. It is also powerfully feminine, which can be somewhat hard to describe exactly how. It is the rune of Women, and express the powers of women, not just girly, but also Amazonian. The mysteries of Women who Love Women are found in this rune, which has it’s own draw, but it can also be used by women to draw whatever kind of love they desire, especially when combined with other runes, or to heal a womans sexual nature, if it has been damaged or cursed.
The fifth rune is Mannaz. In Maanaz, there is the coming together of equals, or rather the marriage of equals. While the rules of marriage belong to Gebo, means of relating to each other are found in Mannaz. This marriage of equals also governs friendship, the brother and sister-hood of humanity. This rune promotes the harmony of whole communities, but also individual people. This is love without lust, just a simple affection, which flows out from within. The idea that comes to me is that deep within each person, there is Love, and when this love is allowed to expressed freely, without expectation of return, or demands, is when people can get along innocently.

The sixth rune is Inguz. As Berkana is to feminity, Inguz is to masculinity. It is a great power, that lies dormant, until it is triggered and released, bring strength and setting change in motion. It can be aggressive and rough when needed, but mostly it is strong and solid. It is the rune of Men and in many ways directly relates to the phallus. It is not only the usual masculine stereotype, but also the gentle man, who can be strong, but sensitive. It also contains the mysteries of Men who Love Men, but it can be used by all men to attract Love, and also sex. It can also helping curing the damaged sexual nature of men, whatever their orientation.
The seventh rune is Ac, the mighty Oak tree. In the permanence and endurance of Ac is fidelity, the ability to stay the course and endure the trials of Love. While many love spells used to promote fidelity were the domain of women who livelihood often depended upon the fidelity of their husbands, who if they could get to stay at home night, at least to make sure they come home when they are done. Fidelity is also about staying together, “for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health.” Sometimes the stress of living can sow the seeds of discontent between partnered couples, and it may take the patience of the partners to rise above their own trials, and embrace their partner(s). In exchange, it also buries jealousy, as I was taught growing up that “jealousy is the grave of affection” and being able to stand fast by your partner, when perhaps they are succeeding, and your own efforts are impeded or faltering can be a difficult thing.
The eighth rune is Ior. Ior is the rune of boundaries and finding happiness within those boundaries. Sometimes, that happiness is found by transgressing what is perceived as binding us, but sometimes it is also recognizing that boundary helps us to nurture ourselves and find our own happiness, wherever it maybe. Happiness is an amorphous thing, and constantly changes. What feeds your happiness today, is not what fed your happiness yesterday, and may not sustain your happiness tomorrow. Being able to change, adapt, and move between environments, elements, or even worlds is a survival skill, that opens up opportunities to find new resources that can sustain you.

The ninth rune is Khalk. Khalk is the cup of desires, the loving cup which contains all that one can want. Contained within the wondrous draught is the fulfillment of our hearts content, yet the difficult part is getting the drink. It can show you what it is you really seek, from this person, from this relationship, from this moment, but it can also make you that which is sought. Glamor was the popular word used for such thing, the magical gilding which brings out the best in each person, showing them as the desired prize, yet keeping it just unattainable enough that they want it all the more. Khalk proves the desire is not about being the best looking, but having the confidence to show your worth.

Having worked with these runes in love magic over the past couple of weeks, I can tell you, yeah it works, quite well. My first experiment was working with each rune, to see how they would manifest. Over the course of nine days, combining the runes with other love-drawing methods (red candles, condition oils, and galdr) those nine days were some of the more interesting escapades in love that I have had.

The image with this post is a Love rune talism that I created when working with this, a simple disc with the runes inscribe in a circle around. The image in the middle is an aegishjalmur described in the Icelandic grimoire, that will get you the love of the person you desire.

Aegishjalmur

aegishjalmur

The Aegishjalmur or Helm of Awe is probably one of my favorite symbols from the Northern Tradition. It is one of the magical signs that have many forms and seems to appear often, especially in the Icelandic galdrbok as a means to gain many things, from stilling anger, to winning love, or just having the favor of men or removing anger. Some variants are very simple images, others are as complex as solomonic and goetic talismans in their imagery. I personally have a preference for the simpler ones, mainly because they are much easier to inscribe on a multitude of surfaces.

The helm of awe is even mentioned in the sagas, probably the most famous saga, The Volsungasaga. The dwarf turned dragon, Fafnir, bears a helm of awe, which is one of the means that he keeps his suspected foes away from the treasure that he has accumulated.

Later, in the galdrbok tradition, it is suggested that the aegishjalmur symbol be made into lead and pressed between the brows, or using spit, drawn on the forehead. One version has an incantation that reads

“It is the helm of awe that I bear between my eyes-wrath runs away, strife is stemmed. May every mother be delighted with me as Maria was delighted with her blessed son when she found him on the rock of victory, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit” followed by “ Olvir, Odhinn, Evil One/ All will you bewitch! / May God himself, with skill/ Send love between us two!”

This was used to still wrath, but also could be used to bring love.

A variant aegishjlamur was named Solomon’s Insigli aka Solomon’s sign and was used for protection.

The main purpose of the Helm of Awe in my works is for success, victory, mastery and favor. You could use spit and other traditional means to place it upon your brow, but you can also use relevant condition oils (such as Crown of Success, Master or High John the Conqueror).

A simple Aegishjalmur spell for success could consist of the following:

A yellow candle (for success, victory and favor)
Crown of Success condition oil
Crown of Success sachet powder
Crown of Success incense
A piece of paper (parchment paper or hand torn brown paper)
A red pen
A pin or needle
Quick lighting charcoal
Incense holder

Light your charcoal.

Take the piece of paper, and using the red pen, draw the aegishjalmur symbol on the piece of paper. Sprinkle a small amount of sachet powder on the paper and symbol, and then retrace the symbol with your left index finger. When you finish, snap the paper to remove the sachet powder.

Take the yellow candle. With the pin or needle, carve the aegishjalmur symbol into the candle. Dress the candle with Crown of Success oil, and place it over the symbol and paper. Put some incense on the charcoal. As it is smoking, using spit or oil, make the draw the aegishjalmur on your forehead, when completed say:

“The Helm of awe is upon my brow. Let all people look upon me and hear my words with favor, as the Lord looked upon his creation with favor, that I may succeed in all my works. So It is!

Light the candle and let the candle burn down to completion. After it has burned out, carry the paper with you in your wallet or purse, as talisman for success and favor. If you desire, you can take the talisman and press the symbol to your forehead and repeat your incantation, while you are out to strengthen the aegishjalmur.

Angels we have heard on high

Leave a reply

archangel-gabriel
During this holiday season, with so much bustle and hurry going on, it’s a good time to look to spiritual aid as a way to help manage the stress, and connect with Higher Power.

One of the obvious signs of benevolent influence is the familiar image of an Angel. As it is Christmas, stores are positively busting with images of Angels, flying, signing, playing instruments, and otherwise announcing the birth of Christ and the glory of God. This is an appropriate role for Angels, as their name, descended from the greek word “angelos” means messenger. So, in their role, the bring messages from God to us.

The most famous angelic messenger is of course Gabriel. Gabriel means “The Strength of God” although in most of his roles in the bible (he only appears twice) is as a messenger, bringing to Zacarias, a man who is married to a cousin of Mary, that his wive shall conceive and bare a child, and that child becomes John the Baptist. Then Gabriel appears before Mary, announcing to her that she shall conceive and bare and child, and that child will be Jesus, who will be called the Son of God.

Because of his role as a messenger, Gabriel is often called upon to aid in communication, or people who use communication as a living. As his message was about pregnancy, he is also called upon to help with pregnant women. Although, during this holiday season, I see communication as taking a key precedence, as the sending of cards and letters, phone calls to family, and just helping the cheer of the season spread with kind words and well wishes is of a great benefit.

Of the ways you can call out to Gabriel for his assistance, is with some token image of Gabriel combined with angelica root, also known as Archangel root. Put the image of Gabriel up and place next to it the Archangel root, and offer a prayer up to Gabriel, asking for his aid and blessings. You might wish to sing the prayer, as Gabriel is fond of music, and is well known for his Horn, by which he calls attention to his announcements.

Why Wait? Act now!

It seems that in my dealings with clients and people interested in using hoodoo and conjure in their lives that many people wait until their life is wrecked before turning to conjure. This is a behavior I don’t quite understand. Often times, when things are in an emergency situation, events are usually too far progressed to be improved quickly and greatly through conjure. The co-worker who hassles them non-stop and they only finally turn to conjure when they have reached the point of breakdown, then they reach out to rootworkers for advice or assistance, and basically are so upset, anxious and angry about the situation that they want the final solution. Another example is when the boyfriend/girlfriend/lover/spouse has walked out because of fighting and arguments, and only then do they seek assistance in love magic. There is also the point when they are down on all fours, yowling like wounded animal, their life and health are in shambles and the prospects for the future look dim do some people only finally turn and ask for curse breaking and protection. It’s a shame, and it’s a problem, and it won’t help them live the life that most people desire, one of peace, prosperity and joy. If you are always putting off things until they become an emergency, then there is never action that helps to establish a comfortable life, especially when so much conjure works better in application before an emergency could occur, and may prevent an emergency from happening.

One of the most simple and uncomplicated ways that your life could be smoothed out is with daily prayer. It doesn’t have to be complicated, but sincerity and heartfelt devotion can go along way, even if your prayer is just a simple recitation of the Lord’s Prayer or the 23rd Psalm every morning.

Another means of ensuring the continued flowing of good fortune is the regular use lucky condition oils, which can cover a multitude of effects. There are a large number of oils that can be used regularly that will help people in their lives, and help them create the life that they desire. A man might prefer High John the Conqueror, while a woman might be benefited from Queen Elizabeth oil. Anyone can use Van Van, whose dual nature of cleaning out bad stuff, but also used to draw in good fortune can be a great boon. Glow of Attraction, Magnet or Lodestone oil also work well in drawing good fortune and what you desire towards you. I am especially fond of using Blessing or Holy Oil as a means to connect with Holy power to overcome obstacles but also to support myself in love, money and life. You can also use the powder form of these oils, or their sprays or bathes on a regular basis. Who knows what a good life you can have by bathing in blessings once a day or every week? You don’t have to save these things for complicated rituals with candles, incense and oils only, but they can all be used on a daily basis to support you in the life you seek.

Another tool is just a simple mojo of a single botanical item, usually a root. The most effective root I find is High John the Conqueror. It works effectively for just about everyone in bringing about the good life and conquering obstacles. There are a few stories I have heard of John, and he didn’t rely only on brute strength, but also on wit, eloquence, and sometimes just sheer courage that helped him overcome many of the unusual and difficult situations he was able to turn to his advantage in his legends.

One final method that you can also use to improve your life is sweetener spell to sweeten yourself. Sometimes your own worst enemy is your own self. We can criticize ourselves, talk ourselves out of taking action, and sometimes just be so cruel within that we don’t even need external enemies. Quite simply, write your name on a piece of paper, fold it, put it into a jar, fill it with your desired sweetener (I like granulated sugar myself), take a quick taste with your finger and seal the jar up. Pray over it, put it under your bed, or in your underwear drawer, and take it out regularly and pray over it some more. Sometimes just learning to be sweet and kind to ourselves can help us in having a smooth, calm and peaceful life.

A multi-use petition packet for reconciliation

Leave a reply

I had a client who had recently broken up with his boyfriend. He was very distraught, as they had been living together for several years now, and he is very much in love with his partner. His partner however, was going through a rough time, after having lost his full time job, and had only found a part time job to help with bills, while also having to pause his pursuit of higher education because of the financial difficulty. To work for the client I created the following packet.

Items you will need
– red pen
– Piece of paper approximately 4×2 inches
– A hair from the client and the partner
– honey
– balm of gilead bud or reconciliation sachet powder
– reconciliation condition oil
– clear tape

Take the piece of paper, and write the name of the partner on the paper seven times. Turn the paper 90 degrees clockwise, and write the name of the client over the partner 7 times. Continuing to turn clockwise, in the four corners of the paper, draw a single red heart, as symbol for the love that is going to be encouraged between the couple. The end result should look something like this:

IMG_0009

Dress the corners and hearts with reconciliation oil. In the center of the petition, put a dab of honey, and use it to stick the hairs of the couple onto the petition. On top of the hairs and honey, place a balm of gilead bud on it. Fold the paper over the bud, hairs and honey. Turn the paper 90 degrees clockwise, and fold it over again, and repeat it until you have a small folded packet, with one side smooth, and the other side where all the folded over ends will be present. On the smooth side, take the pen, and draw a heart on top. Then take the clear tape, and tape the packet up, so it can’t open or unfold. I recommend taping it down in a cross pattern. The end result should look something like this:

IMG_0008

The packet can then be used in a number of ways. It can be taken by the client and carried by them, while they pray for their reunion with their estranged partner. It can be hidden under the clients bed that they shared with their partner. It can be placed behind a photo of the client and the partner in their home. It can be placed into a sweetener jar spell for the client. It can also be used as a petition in on going candle work for the client, with it being attached to the side of glass vigil candles, or placed in the hollow under metal candlesticks, while tapers are burned on top, until satisfaction is achieved by the client.

The wonders of Holy Oil

Leave a reply

A question I have commonly encountered is “What can you use Holy (or Temple, Exodus, Bible, Altar Abramelin) Oil for?

Holy oil is one of many names given to the variations of the anointing oil recipe taken from the book of Exodus in the Bible. It’s original purpose was an anointing oil to be used in anointing things to be made holy, such as items in the Temple, the priests, and later the prophets and kings. For this reason many people have given different names to their variant recipes (all of which generally use olive oil, myrrh, cinnamon and calamus) from Bible Oil, Exodus Oil, Temple Oil, Altar Oil, and a medieval variation that is known as Abramelin Oil. The usefulness of Holy oil has grown much more then just being used to anoint items for the Temple, or priests. It can be applied to any number of purposes.

One way to understand how it has become so multipurpose is to expand your idea of what holy can imply. In making something or someone holy, it indicates that they have become consecrated, sacred and touched with some of the Divine, with the blessing, grace and goodness. This grace extends itself into the object or person. As many people consider, having a divine blessing can cause one’s life to improve, lifting yourself from bad situations, removing evil and misfortune from you, and helping you to attain to good and wonderful things that you desire. In some ways it sounds a lot like being lucky, as somebody who is lucky is able to lift themselves from bad situations, removes evil and misfortune from themselves, and is able to attain the good and wonderful things that they desire. In that sense, they can possibly interchangeable words. Using Holy oil is a way to make yourself fortunate and lucky by being filled with Divine Grace and blessings.

To work on yourself directly, you can add a several drops of holy oil directly to a bath. Bathe in the water and as you do, pray fervently, perhaps reciting the Lord’s Prayer or another prayer of your choice. When you finish, collect some of the bath water, and let the rest drain away. Let yourself dry, and anoint your body with Holy Oil. I recommend make a point of anointing the top of your head, throat, over your heart, wrists, back of the knees and the soles of the feet. Put on clean clothes, and take the collected water to tree outside and facing east pour out the water in the name of trinity, and turn around and walk away without looking back. When you return, spend time in some silent prayer, recite the Lord’s Prayer, or the 23rd Psalm, or the 91st psalm (he that dwelleth in the place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty) and go on about your day, filled with divine grace.

Holy oil is also very useful in cleansing your home and making it holy. You can add several drops of Holy oil to the floor wash, or if you have a carpeted home, to the wash used to clean the walls, windows and floorboards, or the personal spray to be used before or after vacuuming. Once you have cleansed your house, you can then use Holy oil to anoint candles to be burned, the windows, doorways, and other areas to fill your home with blessings and grace. As you anoint each thing, pray for your home to be blessed, for that particular area of your home to be blessed. For example “Lord, bless this kitchen, that the food will be abundant, and no one here shall go hungry, and that it is nutritious to help build happy, healthy and wholesome lives. Amen” or in the bedroom “Lord, bless this bedroom that all the sleep and rest here will be beneficial, the only good dreams will enter as people sleep, and that they will wake in the morning, rested, renewed and rejuvenated” or if the bedroom of a couple “Lord, bless this bedroom that it is filled with love and peace and goodness, that the couple will grow together in love and understanding, and that their mutual rest will be peaceful and loving, that their dreams help to increase each others love and affection, and they wake in the morning rested, renewed and rejuvenated.”

I have used Holy oil many times for healing, both of myself and of others. The simplest method I use is a white candle, dressed with holy oil, that is burned over a name paper of photo of the target of the healing. As the candle burns you can also pray for the person’s recovery. If you are someone who is a hands-on healer, you can anoint your body and hands with Holy oil before a healing session. The blessings it will give you will help strengthen you with grace as you heal, and it will also help to strengthen the client, helping the spiritual healing along by also filling them with divine grace. You can always anoint the client as well to help in the healing.

Holy oil is also of great use when working with Angels and Saints. If you petitions lots of saints or regular petitions many different angels, it can be a quite expensive or time consuming to have a different oil for each being. Using holy oil to anoint items meant for them, or in offerings by dressing candles is a great way to connect with the Saint’s or Angel’s assistance. I regularly use Holy oil with Archangel Gabriel and also with Saint Cyprian and I find the results with that work to be quite good.

I have also used Holy oil with Love drawing and Money drawing work. With love drawing I have often used it to dress White, Pink and Red candles. I find that the love that it draws is always for the best for me. When using it with White candles, it brings in new lovers and friends who are kind, affectionate and appreciative. When using it with Pink candles, the people that it draws are sometimes friends who have had a falling out with, in which we come together, apologize or make amends, and then reunite again, or lovers with whom a deeply emotional and intellectual bond is made, where we can talk for hours and just enjoy each others company in all of it’s forms. With red candles, it’s well, lets just say it gives that would be the meaning behind sacred sexuality.

With money drawing I find that anointing yourself with holy oil is the best way to use it. For myself the resulting appearance of wealth comes in two ways. The first way is that a source of money becomes available that meets of exceeds your needs. Be careful not to spend it frivolously though, as it may also be a prediction of more expenses that will arise that are unforeseen. The other method it manifests is by allowing me to hold onto my money, by causing friends and family to become more generous. They offer up to take me out on the weekends when I need to save my pennies, or they bring me groceries when my cupboard is bare, or need a ride and offer to fill my gas tank for a relatively short trip, which helps me get through the whole following week without having to spend a penny on those regular expenses.

Holy oil also serves as a great oil for protection. It can protect in both a defensive and an offensive way. For defensive protection, anoint your body with Holy oil, and dress a white candle with holy oil. You might also take a piece of jewelry like a ring or necklace. If that item also has religions symbolism on it, even better. Anoint the jewelry with holy oil and pray the 91st psalm over it. Place the jewelry at the base of the candle, or candle holder, Light the candle and pray the 91st psalm again. If it is a long burning candle, sit in silent prayer for 15 minutes, and then get up and go about your home until the candle burns down. The jewelry is now ready to serve as protective talisman to protect you whenever you wear it. You can also do this ritual without the jewelry, or substituting another item, like a prayer card, or a simple mojo bag, or if it for someone else, the name paper and/or image of the person needing protection.

This protection can also be offensive. In this case you might want to use a black or red candle, representing the might or wrath of Divine Power. You can still anoint yourself, in order to help Divine Power to fill you in order to resit your enemies and turn aside their weapons and send them packing. Dress the candle as well, and using an image or name paper of the enemies, or a personal item, burn the candle over it, while reciting prayers about overcoming evil and driving away enemies. There are a category of Psalms known as imprecatory Psalms which can serve very well for this purpose. Keep in mind that this is very justified work, whether it is reversing or vengeance for wrong doing, and you are basically praying for the Divine to smite the offender. This result can take many forms, but if the request is not justified, it will go unanswered, although it is possible a different resolution will come about instead.

Of course, Holy Oil can be combined with any number of other oils, adding that potency of divine grace to any works, along side money drawing oils, love drawing, protection, blessings, cleansing, uncrossing, protection. It also serves as a great oil for anointing all kinds of talismans, but lends itself particularly well for Talismans from based on Medieval and ancient christian magic and mysticism, like the talismans using Solomonic seals, or the seals in the 6th and 7th books of Moses, or seals from ancient Coptic Christianity. One name for a variant of Holy Oil is Abramelin oil, which comes directly from medieval christian magical traditions of working with angels and the name Jewish names of God.

I hope I have enlightened on the many uses and applications for Holy oil and the wonders that Holy Oil can work.

Prayers and Psalms

Leave a reply

Lately, I have been working a lot with prayer and praying. One of the main ways that I have been working with is by reading psalms on a daily basis. I have been exploring Psalms that can be read for different purposes, such as money, love, and luck, but also psalms that can be read and prayed every day for blessings and spiritual guidance and favor.

The book that has been helping me with this is Secrets of the Psalms by Godfrey Selig. It describes practical spiritual workings with the psalms, as well as identifying which psalms that can be worked with from Jewish spiritual practices.

To help me with this, I made a list of Psalms grouped by the purpose identifed by Mr. Selig. I figured I would share this list with my blog

Mirror Box Spell for Protection and Empowerment

2 Replies

This was a spell I did for client, who was under continuous spiritual attack for being gay.

The things that you will need are:

A box
Four mirrors
Modeling clay
Paint (white and red)
White vigil candle

Protection incense
Protection Oil

Gay Power Oil
Blessings Oil
A personal concern

Granulated Sugar
High John root pieces
Queen Elizabeth root pieces
Solomon seal root pieces
Calamus Root Pieces
Black Sampson root pieces
Safflower
Lavender

The firs step is preparing the box. Any box will do. In the photos given, the box I used was a photo box that can turn around. Paint the box white from top to bottom and the inside. White is a color of protection and spiritual power. Once the box has dried; paint on the outside, on each side of the box a symbol of protection. The symbol pictured is taken from Icelandic magic and is the Sign of Solomon, but any protection symbol will do. The symbol should be painted in red. Using the red paint, paint a symbol of power, strength or mastery on the inside of the box, on each inside wall. For my client, I painted the lower case greek Lambda, a symbol for the Gay Rights. Once the paint has dried, fix the four mirrors over the symbols on the outside of the box, so they are reflecting outward. The mirrors help to strengthen the protection, but reflecting the harmful forces away. With the box I used, I slid the mirrors into the picture frames.

Once that is completed, take the modeling clay, and shape it into a figure that resembles the person being protected. Once the figure is shaped, take a pin and carve into the chest of the figurine the name of the client. Once that is completed, baptize the figurine saying “I name you (client’s name), (Client’s Name) you are to me. At this point, integrate in the personal concern of the client. The concern I had was a piece of paper, with the client’s name written on it seven times, by the client himself. I wrapped the paper around the doll, and then proceeded to oil the doll with the Gay Power oil, stroking the oil towards me, to draw power, heal, and strengthen him. I then placed the figurine in the box. Mixing together the sugar and herbs, I prayed over them, asking for strength, wholeness, power and mastery for the client. Once it was thoroughly mixed, I poured the combination over the figurine, surrounding him with sweetness and power. I then sealed the box.

On the outside, I anointed the corners and top and bottom of the box with protection oil, and smoked the box in protection incense, praying for the client to be protected from harmful influences, and that the mirrors reflect the harm back up on the sources, causing them to see only what they wanted to see. As I did this, I turned the box on its pedestal, so the mirrors reflected all the directions. I then took the white vigil candle; fixed it with protection, gay power, and blessings oil, praying for the client to be protected, and that blessings and power fill the client.
