" Anne "

Anne never did return to our daily chats, voice chats, etc.  I stopped getting letters from her in the mail.  About 5 months after I gave up on trying to reach her for a third time, I got a small, unaddressed envelope in the mail.  It had my address on it but not a return.  I opened up the little white envelope.. It was a picture of Anne.  Long, beautiful, black hair.  Very Gypsy looking, Bohemian style.  I looked at this picture, sat it down and wept for hours.  I knew she was gone, the cancer had gotten her.  I felt so lost, deserted and almost betrayed.  

I then went to my grandmother, Veronica, whom we all know about.  I told her all about Anne.  She sat me down and explained to me what cancer was, what had happened and why Anne never betrayed me, in the end, she never did.  It wasn't her fault.  I was still so sad and upset, I would tell my Ganny.  She'd hug me and just tell me it would be ok, things will work out.  Just being hugged by my Grandmother was enough to heal anything.  I was ease, for a while.

The Red Meal in Traditional Witchcraft

The Red Meal

1.  Walk a counterclockwise circle where you will be performing the red meal.  This will connect you with the underworld.  

2.  Ask the great horned master and Witchfather to bless a small pot, or bowl f water, making it  "full of grace and a rad of the unseen powers ", and then anoint with it, and sprinkle it around your area in the same manner you walked it.  Then light a candle or lamp, asking the secret presence and Witchmother to make it " a powerful lamp and light to what is seen and unseen, and a great door to the otherness ".  ( Focus on a beautiful horned man and a gorgeous woman).  

3.  Ring the bell.  Ringing its sound to the ears of the powers you are sharing the red meal with.  If this is all the invocation you need, then continue.  If not, invoke them using your own words, r with one of the invocations of your choice.  

4.  Say the blessing for the bread, with your left hand over it:

" Here is bread, the life of the earth.  Blessed to give us life and strength.  I consecrate it in the name of (insert ) with my left hand I bless it, with my left hand I shall eat it. "

5.  Ring the bell again, and say for the wine, while lifting the cup:

" Here is wine, filling the cup with abundance.  I consecrate it in the name of ( insert ).  With my left hand I lift it.  With my left hand I shall drink it."  

Holding the cup in your left hand still, bring it to your lips and say:

" I drink this cup in my lady's name.  She shall gather me home again. "

Now drink a little.  

After the wine eat a piece of the bread.  Bring the piece of bread to your lips with your left hand and say:

" I eat this bread in the unknown name, for fear and care, and want of him. " 

Then eat.

The rest of the wine should be poured into the bowl with the bread, mixing them together.  Dip your finger in the mixture and anoint your forehead.  If the space you are performing the red meal at needs cleansing you can sprinkle the wine around it.  As with tools and such.  

When this is done, life up the bowl of wine and bread and say the declaration of giving: 

" As some is taken, so is this given.  By the sons and daughter of the family of the old faith.  I give it to the ground, I give it to the pale-people below.  That above and below will become one.  For what is taken is truly given and what is given is truly taken.  The day and the night are wed as the living and the dead.  Here is shown a mystery. " 

After the declaration is made, the bowl of wine is poured on the ground, tree rots, a stone, the river.  Your rite is now done.

" Ritual Evocation With The Black Mirror " + Video How To.

Once a spirit is bound to a vessel you may wish to further see what it has to show you.  Visions, the other-side, shades, even the scariest things of your subconscious.  If your will is weak you can become obsessed with the force.  

Place the circle again in the chamber, in the triangle.  Place the spirit you have created ( or want to conjure ) inside the triangle.  this is the very meeting place of the spirits.  Burn the incense and very few candles should be lit.  The ambience of the chamber should be suitable to bring their world into ours.  Intone the following:

" Spirit N.  I do rouse thee from the vessel, tomb of darkness.  I summon and call unto thee Spirit N.  To arise from they vessel and present thyself in the reflection of this mirror.  Present yourself in the form which that is known, impart upon me thy visions of the world of shadows and that which I seek to know. "

The spirit should appear in the mirror or in the chamber, with you.  The presence should be something of greatness.  Write down that which is shown to you.  

Do use this formula with caution.  If you are laying a compass to invite ONE particular spirit in, other shades of the dead do and WILL try and intrude on you.  It leaves you with a horrible shakiness, anxiety and very bad dry mouth.  

Coexisting and Coping With The Dead

                                            

"Death in my Craft Part 1

Death is inevitable.  We live it, breathe it, go through it.  Only in accepting your own death you will most certainly, then be able to fully appreciate your own existence.  I feel as if Necromancy is a way of life.  Incorporating death into most aspects of your life.  It happens and we have to deal with it.  Nothing can be destroyed, energy just changes forms.  That can be scientifically backed too.  The Ouija and a lot of divination techniques can't be.   Though these methods work for us.  Being shy of 20 years using the Talking Board, you'd think one would know.  

I'm not sure if I'm looking for scientific proof, although it helps.  The idea of Quantum Physics gives me a much better feeling.  There's more depth and works to study, on Death.  It is afterall the only thing promised.   I do believe in a Higher Power, just not sure what to call it/label/put a face on.  I feel personally the dead are much more readily accessible to us.  

I see Death in my Craft and in all aspects of my life, I've embraced it, I do not fear it.  I don't want it to happen anytime soon, nor wish it on anything or anyone.  So my thought is, the Ouija is a tool that proves useful and effective in it's use.  Seeing the dead and spirits, energies, what have you, helps with using the board.  

I never asked to see such beings.  Over the years I've learned to let it work on my behalf, instead of become a burden or bother.  It can be tough being a sensitive and clairvoyant.  The dead surround us at all times.  The air we breathe, the winds, oceans.  Meditation and studying is what's kept me balanced.  

I wasn't always balanced.  That just lead to a reckless lifestyle and choice of acquaintances.  I see a lot of sensitives that turn to opiates and narcotic abuse, it's a sad thing too.  Don't use a pill to numb it away.  It will work for you eventually.  When I was unbalanced I turned to pain killers a lot.  I overcame that though, until this day.  The spirits I believe ( my grandma mostly ) helped me through it.  

It can be a great tool for self exploration and mind solving problems.  Explore it.  ;) 

Being sensitive and in a house that has activity, is tiring.  Sleep aid does help lol.  Sadly but truly it does.  They do keep me up tonight though, even through sleep aid.  Always know who's alive and who's not.  

Necromancy Incense ( How To )

Here is a very simple recipe for some very effective, Necromancy Incense.  I created this about a year or so ago, the results are amazing!  So, what you will need....

Copal Resin 

Patchouli Oil 

3 Red Rose Petals

a few drops of your own blood

A dash of Graveyard Dirt

Make sure you grind up your Copal resin into a very fine powder.  This is going to act as the base and keep your incense burning.  It does become quite clumpy, just keep grinding in the mortar and pestle.   Once all your dry ingredients are evenly and well ground, add a drop of your own blood and a drop of the patchouli oil.  Grind it up some more.  It's a good idea to let it set out for about an hour, in a dry space.  This way the oil and blood can actually have a short period to dry out a bit.  With the intent of necromancy in mind, direct and focus all your energy into the mixture.  You can use other techniques as you see fit.  The dreams and visions this incense produces are phenomenal as well.  

Here is a video on making your own Necromancy Wand. It does require the incense, so here's the blog above.  ;) 

Creating a Spirit Vessel ( Within a Luciferian Context )

Creating a Spirit Vessel requires a lot of astral work, visualization and time.  To create an Ancestor Vessel, I will give this outline so that you can use it for more than just your Ancestors.  Never bind your Ancestors to ANYTHING, it's just rude.  So, you will need

A vessel of some sort ( glass, wooden, Etc.. )

You're going to want to wash it really well!  Let it set outside in the sun for 3 days ( if possible ), so it can dry.  Leave it in a window sill if you are unable to let it set outside due to weather or what not.  Once your vessel has dried thoroughly in the sun, decorate it.  An Ancestor Vessel will have all the symbols of death.  Skulls, sigils for Saturn and Mercury, Certain seals of solomon, Etc.  

Once you've decorated your Vessel now comes the Nganga.  Some will say you CANNOT create an Nganga by yourself, I disagree.  I've made one and it works amazing.  I used a mini resin skull, for my Nganga, in this Ancestor Vessel.  Place on the bottom of the vessel a small amount of cemetery dirt, twigs/stones from the cemetery, cemetery dirt from the graves of your Ancestors ( always be respectful when taking the dirt, leave a few pennies, a cigarette or some water for them.)  Now place any objects inside the vessel that you associate with your Ancestors ( or whichever Spirit/Demon you are working with).  

Now that it's all said and done, go into a meditative state, the death current, slow breathing techniques work great to get you there.  Please do not use any sort of ethogen to achieve this state of being.  Once you're in the astral state, call out to the shades of the dead, your Ancestors, the spirit you are creating the vessel for.  Explain to them what you are doing.  Be EXACT!  Keeping your vessel on the triangle of arte, you are conjuring this energy into existence.  So, now you have your vessel made, you've contacted the spiritual world, you'll get a gut feeling if it's " ok " to go ahead with your procedure.  

Here comes the " Circle of The Dead " which will bind you to your Vessel.  

Toss a small amount of gravel soil and a small amount of your own blood on top of your pre-created Nganga, that was placed inside your spirit vessel.  Make sure you have this on your Triangle of Arte.  Take your wand with your left hand, going counter clockwise around your vessel and intone the following :

" I summon the mighty dead from the spaces of silence from which the grave cradles.  I give you life by blood and by soil, by the essence of my being.  Emerge from your sleep of death and encircle my being, protecting my body as I dream and walk the web of night.  As Thanatos I require your service, for we are bound by the laws of death "   

The shade will now feed on your Astral body as you sleep, giving it nourishment to perform the duties of it's creation.  The shades are forced away once you return back to your body/wake up.  

These are very intense and time consuming procedures.  It takes quite a bit of time to get to the state of mind you need to be in, to contact these beings.  Take your time, research, read, learn.  Always be safe, if you're not comfortable with it, don't do it.  You can also pick up a copy of " The Book of The Witch's Moon " By Michael Ford.  

I hope this helps and sums up a bit more from my video.  Thank you to all that watch!  Happy creating! :) 

Azazel Vessel.  

Here is the actual video on making Spirit Vessels.  

Witch Bottles " Protecting Home and Land " + A Thank YOU +

Witch Bottle Home Protection

For this Witch Bottle you will need the following;

1.  a small bottle or vial 

2.  Crushed mint

3.  Crushed sage

4.  dirt from the four corners of your land

5.  a STERILE needle ( for a small drop of your own blood )

6.  Hekate Oil 

7.  Red String

8.  wax of some sort ( white )

Hallow your compass with the intent of bringing in all beneficial and  positive energies, to help shield and protect your home/land, from any type of negativity.  Since this is Traditional Witchcraft, you get a LOT more room for creativity, so get creative!  Let spirit move you.  Once you're in the frame of mind, at ease, peaceful, make your compass grow to engulf your entire house/land.  See it, like a blown bubble, the iridescent colors they create.  

You can come up with a Rhyme or chant to accompany this spell.  Once you've focused your will, have your intent set, charge all your herbs and all other working materials.  Fill up your bottle or vial with your herbs, a small prick of your finger, a small drop of your own blood, 3 drops of Hekate oil ( optional ).  Put your cap on, or just wax it shut.  Tie the red string counter-clockwise to invite beneficial energies in, protecting you, your loved ones, your land, from all harm and dangers, as well as ill will.  When you get to the point of about 2 inches of thread left, focus all your energy into that knot.  Know it is done.  

Simple, eh.  ;)  You can keep this on your altar, some bury them.  I hung mine in a tree and it's still there.  I refresh them about every 1-4 years when I feel they've run their courses.  I don't suggest BANISHING any energy, it helped you, why punish it?  Thank them, you are done.  ;)

This can be used in any context;  Health, Love, Passion, Power, Healing... Have fun and let me know if it works for you!  Thank you to all who watch my videos too.  It's a really fanfuckingtastic feeling.  If I can help one person, make one friend, it's worth it.

Lodestone Magick ( My How To )

Lodestone Magick

This is about the easiest working I've ever done.  Thank you to all that contributed to my questions concerning working the Lodestone!  For your own lodestone magick here is what you will need;

1 small dish

1 load stone ( female... they are phallic shaped )

Tiny drop of whiskey

metal fillings 

piece of brown bag paper ( or any paper )

Small items such as coins to represent what you are attracting to yourself.

Sterilized needle 

Metal fillings I found out in the garage.  Make sure to cleanse them.  

All I did was took some sage, cleansed all my items I was going to be working with.  Set those aside for now.  Next you want to program your lodestone with what you intend to attract.  Most say it's wise to only give your lodestone 1 task, I gave mine 4.  Talk to it like it's a living being, because it's just that!  A living being.  

Now drop a tiny bit of whiskey on your lodestone.  ( not too much, do not get it drunk ).  Next you'll want to write on that brown bag paper, that which you wish to attract to yourself.  I took a sterilized needle, a small prick of the ring finger, dapped it in each of the corners of the paper.  I folded the paper towards myself, because we are bringing these things to us.  I then charged the paper in the same manner as the lodestone.  

Place your piece of paper in your dish, place the lodestone on top, and any other representations of what you are attracting, in with the lodestone.  You can pray over this, I don't pray so I just speak to it every night, telling it how grateful I am for the work it's doing for me.  Now take your metal fillings, or magnetic sand if you have it and put a VERY SMALL amount on top of it.  This is feeding your lodestone.  

You're all set!  Now every night you're going to want to pray or talk to the stone itself.  Envision those things that you are attracting with focused will.  Once a week you will want to feed it to keep it going.  Just give it a small pinch of your magnetic fillings or sand.  

Personally, mine is working FANTASTIC!  If you try this, let me know how it goes for you!  Here is a video as well, showing my lodestone and explaining it in detail.  Happy Attracting! 

Tarot and Rune Readings!

For the entire month of March I will be offering $10.00 USD Tarot and Rune readings!  I am very in depth with all of my readings.  I do throw in the runes in conjunction with the tarot, even the Ouija!  Offer expires 3/30/15 

Powerful Exorcism Incense ( Tried and Tested )

Alright, here is another recipe that I came up with about 10 years ago.  This incense is very strong, make sure you open your windows just a bit so you don't inhale too much of the smoke.  It will not kill you but I still have to take these precautions because I'm not a doctor, and I cannot give medical advice at ALL.  Alright, here is my recipe for clearing your space of ill intent! 

This is why I miss #Summer . Take; Frankincense, Myrrh, black pepper and dirt from a relatives grave. Mix it together. Do what you do to " empower " the mix. I left my incense in a small bowl, gave a dash to the wee ones and asked for blessings. You don't have to do the same. That's my style Witchery.

I burn all this at my altar, clean altar or not. I might light a white candle and pray that all good things fill my house and life. I may not. I usually do incourperate #Hekate and #Pan as my HP's... I do the Luciferian Banishing Ritual during and after all this... Focus and intent. Again do it your way.

You can take the incense into each room if you'd like and say a Luciferian Prayer or Prayer of any kind. Clean up the house eh. Ancestors are important in ridding your home and path

Let me know what you think!  I'd love to hear from you guys!  

Cleansing Your Head or The White Bath.

Here is something I use to use all the time, it is very heavily used in Vodou, Santeria and other Afro-Caribbean faiths.  I hope you like, I hope you try this because it does work and works great!  So, here it goes!  


                        Cleansing The Head

Cleansing your " head " is a heavily used Santeria term, Vodou as well... I've heard it in RootWork and Alternative faiths as well... I use it, in spiritualism. It works... and good!
1 gallon pot or cauldron ( as in picture )
fill half way with water and add: ( go by eye )
Milk
Honey
Florida Water
star anise seed
anise seed
lavender
bay leafs
angelica root
1 cup of condensed milk...
white flowers ( carnations are what I used )
1 bottle of white champagne
Some people use cake, cookies, etc... I however, do not. This does work... Pray over your mixture, for blessings and cleansings, you can drum outside, do whatever. Pour it over your head, facing down, let it dry, wrapped up in a towel if you have to. Go big with the Lavender too...
Use the left overs as protection pouches, it's from your head.

So, if anyone tries this like I have.  Let me know what you think!  What did you dream the night you did this bath?

Crafting Your Own Reversible Candle

Craft your own reversible candle!  

Most of today's candles are quite expensive!  Not all of us can afford to buy a candle for $10-$20, wait for it to get shipped, or even find an Occult store near you.  So here is my own recipe for crafting your own reversible candle.  It'll cost you about $1.50 ... can't beat that huh?  

Supplies You Will Need

1 white Seven Day Vigil candle ( You can get these at the dollar store)

13 drops of Clearance Oil

13 Drops of Glow of Attraction Oil

A few drops of your own Blood

A birchwood stick for making the holes ( you can get these for about 60 cents at Sally Beauty Supply )... a screw driver will work.  

1 Sanitized needle to prick your finger

Alcohol wipes

If for any reason you are UNABLE to obtain the oils listed above simply use a few drops of your own blood or Saliva!  I used the Glow of attraction oil to put a glow around myself, from future psychic attacks.  Your blood is life, your blood carries your intent.  

So on my own candle all I did was prepare it in my style.  Going slightly into trance, making my intent very clear and focused my will ( energy ) into the candle.  I then made the holes for the oils.  

You can use construction  paper or a black sharpie to draw the above image on your candle.  Get creative as you like... This is YOUR candle.  

There are certain Psalms that go along with the Reversible Candle, I don't say them, I'm not a Christian so I do not need it.  You can either let your candle burn or say any set of prayers you'd like.  

Now guess what..... You'r candle is finished.  ;) I'd love to see your finished products!  If you'd like them featured on here or on my Facebook Public Page, send me a line and I'd be more than happy to share your art.  

Happy Crafting guy's N' gal's !

Egg Cleansing: How to. (Cleansing with an egg)

I'm almost certain that the egg cleansing is of Hispanic heritage.  Eggs are a great way of cleansing yourself of negative energy.  It's simple, fast and it works.

What you need is 1 egg at room temperature and a glass of water.  I use a fancy wine glass because I'm silly like that.  You can say any prayers you like while doing the egg cleansing.  For some odd reason I'm stuck on making the sign of the cross on my forehead with the egg.  This being said, it's probably a chain of the Catholic faith that hasn't been snipped from my brain.  Do what you feel is right tho.

Starting at the top of your head, going DOWNWARD only, swipe the egg down your entire body.  Push the negative energy into that egg.  Get the nap of your neck, hands and feet realy well.  Once your done, crack the egg in the glass of water. 

If you know how to read an egg by all means do so.  The bubbles represent spirit taking care of the matter.  Cleansing you of negative energy.  That's the extent of my egg readings ;)  Once your done, flush it down the toilet or throw the egg into a flowing stream of water.  

You can do this as many times as you wish.  You can light a white candle and use some sage also.  

Here's a short video tutorial.

Luciferian Banishing Ritual

This is a great way to clear your mind before and after any rite.  It also banishes any negativity in your body and from your space.  A Basic before and after work.  

Facing the altar, located in the east, take the athame and make the sign of the invoking pentagram, averse and envision a light emerge from your being.

" By the light of Lucifer, born of my desire for the attainment of becoming open to the gates of the dead to protect my very being, spirit and flesh. 

Noctifer Observe ! "

Touch your forehead and recite:

" Ateh " ( unto thee )

1. Facing the North, make the sign of the invoking pentagram averse, and envision the graves of the earth opening forth and encircling you, protecting you from all outside forms.  

"  By the light of Azazel, who brought to man and woman the knowledge of the serpent, attend my being in the protection of the kin of Witchblood ! "

Touching the genitals recite:

" Malkuth " ( The Kingdom )

2. Facing West, make the sign of the invoking pentagram averse, and envision the waters circling you, forming great tempests with serpents and dragons seeking to devour that which would attack you. 

" By the call of Shemyaza may the hidden knowledge and protection be revealed.  By the desire of my many forms shall be passed from the grave to life. "

Touching the right shoulder recite:

" Ve-Geburah " ( and the power )

Touching the left shoulder recite:

" Ve-Gedulah " ( and the glory )

3. Facing the South, make the sign of the inverse  pentagram, symbolizing the matter of the flesh and psyche which allows the spirit-god to emerge.

" Baragija, allow the stars to align with my everlasting protection!  May the dead hear my call! "

4. Face now the altar and recite:

" Before me lucifer

Behind me Shaitan

On my right hand Belial

On my left hand Leviathan 

For about me flames the pentagram

and in the column stand s the seven-rayed star of Babylon - Lilith! " 

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.  

Yule

                                                        Yule on or about 21 December

This is the celebration of the Winter Solstice or Midwinter, the time when the light returns to the earth and often seen as the start of the light half of the year as days begin to become longer. Yule and Yuletide have become associated with Christmas, this has happened due to the early Christian church adopting Pagan festivals to celebrate their own Holy Days. The church leaders saw that their Pagan converts were still attending the old Pagan festivals and sought a way to equate the 'new' religion with the old.

Our Saxon ancestors introduced the word Yule to describe their midwinter festival around the winter solstice or the full moon in December. In our beliefs this is where the Wheel of the Year has it's natural beginning. The word comes from the Nordic joi or jol, and is related to the Anglo Saxon hweal, meaning a wheel. The Saxons celebrated the winter solstice with a festival called Mother Night on 24 December. This was dedicated to the goddesses Holda and Freyja. It marked their New Year.

Our Celtic ancestors also celebrated winter solstice. At Newgrange in Ireland their is a passage grave built so that on the winter solstice a ray of sunshine penetrates the inner sanctum and illuminates three spirals carved on a stone slab. The may have signified the sun fertilising the body of the Earth and so wakening her after her winter sleep to the renewed cycle of life. It may also represent the (re) birth of the sun child in the womb of the Great Mother Goddess.

A similar event occurs at Maes Howe in Orkney and several other stone circles throughout the British Isles. Perhaps these places were seen as gateways to the 'Otherworld' where the dead could be contacted or the living pass between the worlds.

Esoterically the midwinter and solstice period of Yule and the Twelve Days is known as 'the in-between time' or 'the time between time'. As the sun appears to stand still in the sky the old year is dying and the new year waits t be born. It is a strange and magickal time, still seen in secular society's tales of 'Christmas Magic' and 'miracles'. These are folk memories of the ancient past when midwinter was a magickal and unearthly time.

Many folk rituals were performed at Yule to welcome back the sun or to encourage it's return with sympathetic magick. These often involved the lighting of fires and one custom which has been adopted by modern witches is the Yule Log. This was traditionally a log of ash or oak, the male tress of the God, it was a large branch collected from the woods on Christmas Eve and taken home. On the way home, any stranger passing it had to bow and raise their hat to the log, otherwise it was believed that bad luck would follow in the New Year.

In Scotland, the Yule Log was called the 'Christmas Old Wife'; the log was collected by the head of the household and then carved to represent an old woman. When it was thrown on the fire, it represented the ritual burning of the Cailleach or winter hag goddess. In Cornwall the log was chalked to represent a male figure (the God).

In some urban areas the Yule Log was replaced with a Yule Candle, this was a large red or white candle decorated with holly. This was burned for a short period each day of the Twelve Days. This has been adopted by some traditional witches today where central heating has replaced open fires in homes.

The God at midwinter is represented as the sun child and in folk mythology by the magickal figure Father Christmas. In 17th century England he was known as Lord Christmas or Old Father Christmas and was an old gentleman in a furry, hooded gown. He carried a knobbly stick or club and wore a crown of holly leaves. As such he was a representation of the spirit of midwinter, or the Old God as the Holly King. In 1809 the American writer Washing...
