Charging a Fetish/Nganga 

( Ancestor Vessel, Elphatram, Azazel Vessel )

Already have a fetish/nganga made?  PERFECT!  Here is a simple way to charge and bring to life your fetish! 

Facing the altar, take grave soil and toss a small amount onto the fetish/nganga.  Now pour a small amount of your own blood into the fetish/nganga.  Take your wand, encircling counter-clockwise, and intone:

" I summon the mighty ( name of fetish ) from the space of silence from which the outside cradles.  I give you life by blood and by soil, by the essence of my being.  Emerge from your realm and encircle my being, protecting my body as I dream and walk the web of night.  Aid me in the art of magick, the left hand path.  As Thanatos I require your service, for we are bound by the laws of death " 

As you sleep you fetish's / ngangas will feed from your astral body.  It's safe to say that they do not take enough energy from you, to make you physically ill, or cause any real damage.
