I then set the order of the ritual, adapting it for only one person. I wrote the charge for healing energy. All that made me very enthusiastic and high spirited. The feeling stayed with me the whole day, including now.<br /><br />For lack of conditions I started the ritual in the hour of Jupiter and finished it in the hour of Mars, which I think it's not a bad thing, with the extra expansive and thrusting energies :) Furthermore, Mercury is currently square Mars and from what I've regarding this aspect, it's not such a bad one for my intent. Quite the opposite I might say. Neutral at worst.<br /><br />I used some white sage as an incense for invocation and burned some cinnamon powder when I began the Orphic hymn to Mercury. I used holy water from the church, made on the day of the Baptism. In the orthodox rite the holy water made that day is called the great holly water and can be used throughout the year. So I figured it was the best choice by far.I also used a yellow tapes candle with the symbol of Mercury carved on along with the altar candle.<br /><br />I began the work with the LBRP and LIRH for Mercury. All that enthusiasm mounted and I goofed the first 2lesser hexagram but I retraced them and went on. I felt nothing bad happening. I know you're gonna tell me that the standard LIRH would just do, but my Gemini sign has a mind of its own LOL.<br /><br />I then said the Orphic hymn to Mercury and did the FTP for Mercury - yellow hexagram, violet symbol. I began feeling the air light around me. I then called upon Raphael and followed the steps from your Venus elixir ritual. I definitely felt some force acting in and around me. I kinda felt a bit like floating in the air when I was charging it with yellow light from my finger tips and also i felt like something was tilting me towards it. When I finished projecting the light I found myself imitating Michael Jackson's posture when he was tilting forward on his toes, but not to that extreme :)<br /><br /><br />The elixir was set in a small glass and was placed upon the square of Mercury. I left the elixir over night on a table with the square under it.<br /><br />All that being said, I think it was a success and it will do its job. <br /><br />Thank you for posting so much useful material for all to understand and for answering all questions! You have my deepest gratitude!<br /><br />Blessed be!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-31148237918420137412016-03-02T03:40:35.714-06:002016-03-02T03:40:35.714-06:00Thank you so much!

Magick (1) makes anything - just about anything - more likely to happen, but (2) has to contend with real-world probabilities. So you do your ritual work to increase the odds as much as you can with a spell, but then you take the necessary mundane steps to bring the probability within range of what your spell can influence. But magick certainly can cause things to happen without any mundane steps, so long as the natural probability you are trying to influence is already within your spell's range.<br /><br />As far as your ritual, I would go ahead and use the GRH, and I expect the Orphic hymn should work well. I know a number of magicians who have had good success with them.

This is mor...You can take your time answering that. This is more urgent for me.<br /><br />I'm thinking of starting my GRH tomorrow night with Mercury. I'm willing to make a healing elixir for some family member who is in desperate need. I'll be using a s weedish been tonic for the liquid, as it's already famous for dealing with multiple health issues.<br /><br />I'm thinking of calling only archangel Raphael to send his healing energies into the elixir, like you called Anael in your Venus elixir.<br /><br />Is it ok to start practising the GRH with such work? I don't have any doubt about doing it, the time feels and is right for it (Mercury in Aquarius, conjunct Venus and trine with the Moon), but I I think I'll be a bit slow on performing all the steps of the ritual itself. <br /><br />And second, can I use the Orphic hymn for Mercury as a general conjuration followed by c onjurations in my own words for Mercury and Raphael, after the GRH is done?<br /><br />Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-73853488381809564012016-03-01T08:42:04.426-06:002016-03-01T08:42:04.426-06:00why do some ppl who practice magick say that magic...why do some ppl who practice magick say that magick won't do something, just sets the opportunity for that specific something to happen? isn't that lack of faith? i mean when i do a ritual for something I KNOW it will happen, regardless if the ritual succeeds or not in the end. i guess the success has to do with the amount of resistance encountered by the spell on its way to manifestation, but i think one should be damn certain their spell work will end up successful. or else why should one cast spells in the first place?<br /><br />I've read your article about getting a hottubb and that was clearly a perfect opportunity manifested, but I've had money manifested under my doormat after a money spell. I went to pour a line of salt in front of the threshold and when I removed the mat I found a folded envelope with 2bills inside. It was the equivalent of about $15. Maybe someone had placed it there, but nonetheless it was a manifestation - money for nothing as the song goes :)<br /><br />Another spell I did was a banishing of my dental problems, and believe me, my mouth is like a WW1 no man's land. My teeth stopped hurting since then and it's been some 5months now. No infections either.<br /><br />I understand that some manifestations might be like some kind of tests to make us prove worthy of the result - probably... But i still think that believing that magick will only manifest opportunity for the intent to manifest instead of the manifestation of the intent itself is... not wrong, but withholding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-80973746884144949932016-02-29T03:46:58.556-06:002016-02-29T03:46:58.556-06:00Thank you very much for taking your time to answer...Thank you very much for taking your time to answer!<br /><br />Blessings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-30077465588534530592016-02-29T01:25:56.700-06:002016-02-29T01:25:56.700-06:001.

Really, Holy Water is just water infused with a particular type of magical charge.<br /><br />2. Usually I like to write the charge ahead of time for precision, but then state it during the ritual as I am about to charge the elixir.<br /><br />3. Sure, I would expect a perfume to work fine.<br /><br />4. The whole "forgetting" thing is bullshit. It's not important. You don't want to obsess about the results of your ritual, but beyond that whether or not you remember what you did in my experience has no relation to whether or not the ritual works.<br /><br />5. That's a tricky one. Generally you want to avoid various astrological conditions that can impede the ritual, but if you're going to go that route the whole chart has to be taken into account. A negative aspect is generally something you would want to avoid, but if the rest of chart is very positive for your working it still could be the most reasonable time to do it. <br /><br />I would say, then, that you can usually get decent results by avoiding debilities without much regard for aspects, but it does to some extent depend on the aspect. One point to keep in mind is that for electional work, once an aspect has culminated it is considered "past" for the purposes of timing. So if you can wait a few minutes for a hard aspect to culminate and start after that, the aspect shouldn't give you any trouble.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-88222654367659989212016-02-28T17:31:42.116-06:002016-02-28T17:31:42.116-06:00I can't get enough in reading your posts detai...I can't get enough in reading your posts detailing rituals :D I have little time for this but I try to read at least one every so often. I have a few questions. They might seem stupid, but I can't wrap my head around some small details of these kinds of rituals. Short answers will do in order for me to make an ideea :)<br /><br />1. The liquid for the elixir can be something other than whine? I saw your Venus elixir post and you used absinthe. Can I use... juice, or plain water (rain or spring water)<br /><br />2. The intent is stated into the liquid prior to the ritual and is charged during the ritual, or can it be made during the ritual just before charging it? <br /><br />3. Can this elixir be made using a perfume bottle? For instance creating a Venus parfume elixir to atract partners, Mercury for better communication and so I'm. Or does that make it kind of a talisman? <br /><br />4. Does the intent of this ritual have to be forgotten once the ritual is done, in order for it to work? - like with other spells - this question also includes talismans :)<br /><br />5. Is it OK to perform such a ritual at a time when a certain planet is aspected hard by another? Or is it sufficient that the planet in question is in a certain sign that does not debilitate it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
