Protection Spell Against Theft

Protection Spell Against Theft

Now that the crocuses begin to carpet lawns with their color, it is a good time for a spell to protect against theft. Ancient magicians burned crocus petals, hoping the smoke would reveal the face of thieves. To protect your home against a thief, in a small dish combine the flowers of three crocus flowers, a teaspoon of dried basil, and a generous dash of black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture outside your home, moving around the building in a clockwise direction. Repeat this charm three times as you go:

Crocus for protection, Basil to purify,
Pepper to sting.
Let no thief penetrate this ring.

Repeat this fair charm again in one year.

Elder's Meditation of the Day

"Sometimes, life is very simple, but it is we two-leggeds, we who are thought to be smart that make it complicated."

-- Larry P. Aitkin, CHIPPEWA

Sometimes it may take years for us to find out what we are really after - it is to be happy. The Elders say, lead a simple life. This doesn't necessarily mean poor, it means simple. There are some things that makes life complicated such as needing control, needing power or being resentful or angry. These things make complications happen. We need to walk in balance in every area of our lives.

Great Spirit, let me lead a simple life.

Create and Use Thoughtforms

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com   nightshayde99

Create and Use Thoughtforms

A thoughtform (a.k.a. a servitor or an egregore) is an artificial elemental that is intentionally created through visualization and infused with emotional energy. They are nonmaterial creatures and consist of astral substance, or ether. Though frequently an overlooked aspect of contemporary magical training, many Witches and other practitioners of the magical arts have employed thoughtforms since ancient times. thoughtforms have been described as "vortexes" or "centers of psychic energy," and can take on the appearance of an animal, a human, or any type of mythical creature their creators visualize.

Although relatively simple to create, they can aid a magical practitioner in nearly all forms of spell work, including healings. They can serve as watchers, messengers, and even companions. (However, it should be made quite clear that a thoughtform is not the same thing as an imaginary friend.) Some people also create them to guard their homes, gardens, sacred spaces, and other areas.

Thoughtforms can also be unconsciously created, even by those who do not believe in the magical arts, when intense emotions (such as love or hatred) are directed at a specific individual for an extended time.

Found throughout history the world over, thoughtforms can be benign, demonic, or neutral. Ghosts, genies, angelic beings, Withes' familiars, and even the ancient gods and goddesses are types of thoughtforms. So too are the infamous seventy-two Goetic demons that were summoned and bound by the sorcerer King Solomon in olden times.

How to Create a Thoughtform

The following instructions are for creating a simple thoughtform and are designed with the beginner in mind. Advanced thoughtforms, on the other hand, should be left to individuals who possess the proper magical training and experience.

First, you must decide if you want your thoughtform to take the shape of a human, an animal, or some other creature. (An anthromorphic or zoomorphic thoughtform is also known as a tulpa in the Tibetan tradition.) Keep in mind the purpose for which the thoughtform is being created and then choose the most appropriate form.

Next, find a quiet, comfortable place to visualize your thoughtform, and ritually purify it using salt, a smoldering sage bundle, or another method you are comfortable using. Light a candle of a color corresponding to the specific intent of your thoughtform. For instance: white for protection or healing; red for strength, passion, or confrontation; black for binding negative forces and uncrossing; purple for occult wisdom and psychic enhancement, silver for astral and dream work, and so forth.

Using whatever technique works best for you, allow your mind to enter an alpha state. Begin rhythmic breathing and clear your mind of all mundane thoughts. When you feel totally relaxed and are unable to feel your physical body, you are ready to begin visualization.

With your eyes closed, visualize a glowing ball of light floating in the air in front of you, then use your will to make it take on the color associated with your intent. Once this is complete, use your will to transform the sphere into the specific shape you desire, taking care not to overlook small details such as hair and eye color, garments, etc. It is also a good idea to equip your thoughtform with the appropriate tool or tools required for its intended job. For instance, a thoughtform that is programmed for healing purposes could be equipped with a special charm bag containing powerful medicinal herbs or healing gemstones.

As you visualize, chant your intent and infuse the thoughtform with as much emotional energy as you can raise. This is best done by channeling energy through your solar plexus chakra (midway between the navel and the base of the sternum).

Some magical practitioners also find that the act of visualizing symbols, such as runes or bind-runes, upon their thoughtforms empowers them with extra energy, thus allowing them to carry out their missions faster and with much better results.

The next step is to give your thoughtform a name. This is an important part of its creation process, for naming your artificial elemental will allow you to exercise more control over it. The name you choose should be unusual and unique to prevent other people from using it and summoning your thoughtform. Repeat the name several times, either out loud or telepathically.

The thoughtform is now ready to be charged and sent forth to do its work, or stored for future use. For the latter, some practitioners prefer to house their thoughtforms in crystals or talismans. However, a small empty bottle or box will work just fine, especially if it is inscribed with the elemental symbol corresponding to the thoughtform. to store the thoughtform, hold in your hand the object in which you wish to keep it and then use your will to direct the thoughtform into it. After it has been stored in its container, put it in a safe place where it will not be disturbed. Hold it often and charge it with energy to prevent the thoughtform within it from dissipating.

Summoning the thoughtform can be done by simply uttering or thinking its name. Do not be concerned if you are unable to see the thoughtform appear before you. Most are not visible to the naked eye and can be perceived only by those who possess the power of clairvoyant vision. Although you may not be able to directly observe it, you will probably be able to feel its presence.

How to Charge and Send Forth a Thoughtform

Now that your thoughtform has been created, it is ready to be charged and sent forth to carry out its intended work. the best time to do this is when the Moon is in a waxing phase or full, as these lunar influences can bolster the energy of your charging ritual.

Charging a thoughtform requires concentrating on your intent and using the power of emotional energy to direct the focused outcome into the artificial elemental. Using a short sentence consisting of no more than five words, telepathically instruct the thoughtform what to do. (It is best to keep your commands simple because intentionally created thoughtforms do not respond well to complex and detailed instructions.) After commanding the thoughtform, release it into the void like a bullet shot from a gun.

The success (or failure) of a thoughtform depends mainly upon the mind strength and aura of the person who creates it. Like any other type of magical working, the more energy and faith you put into it, the greater results you will achieve. But if your energy level and faith in your abilities as a magical worker are low, a weak thoughtform that will dissipate very quickly and accomplish very little, if anything at all, is probably the best that you can hope for.

In many cases, after a thoughtform has completed its mission or runs out of energy, it will dissolve on its own into the ethers. To keep it from dissipating, you need to perform regular recharging sessions. In some cases, a symbiotic link between the thoughtform and either its creator or target can also keep it charged. Thoughtforms can also feed off of energy sources other than their creators, mutate from the accumulation of various outside influences, and return to wreak havoc. this is why it is always a good idea to undo your thoughtforms once you are finished working with them or if you create one in error.

How to Undo a Thoughtform

When you no longer need your thoughtform, you should undo it and return the energy to Mother Earth to prevent its stray energy from rebounding and bringing about undesired effects. To do this, allow your mind to enter an alpha state on a night when the Moon is in a waning phase. (This is the appropriate lunar phase during which to perform spells and rituals for the elimination of unwanted things.) Summon the thoughtform by calling its name and visualize it floating in the air above you. Then visualize it deconstructing in the reverse order in which it was constructed and then dissipating like mist into the air. As you do this, recite the following incantation, or whatever words you feel are appropriate: "Elemental, you have served me well. the time has come to end this spell. Energy unweave; intent disperse. I cast you back into the earth. As I will it, so mote it be."

Keep in mind that the more powerful a thoughtform becomes, the more effort it will require on the part of its creator to undo it. You may have to repeat the ritual several times before the thoughtform is completely eliminated.

The Universe in Me--Meditation Journeys

When I sit quiet and my mind is still,
I softly meditate and Oh what a thrill,
To unfold and spread the wings of my Spirit,
And soar to the heights of the Infinite.

Jupiter, Mars, Pluto and Saturn,
Are only small specks of the beautiful pattern.
Milky Ways, Stars, Planets and Moonbeams,
Are all included in the wonderful scheme.

Soaring, flying, reaching and winging,
From light to light in Celestial glimmering.
From no beginning and to no end,
The boundless Cosmos has proved a Godsend,

With plan of Will and Wings of Spirit,
I can be in places most exquisite.
Places in reality and places in fantasy,
Go wherever I want in the galaxy.

But the place I love best,
And the reason to be blest,
Is when, for an instant so grand,
I reach out and touch God/dess's hand.

Message

Meditation is a Spirit Way given by God/dess. It is God/dess's Pathway for our Spirit to rise above all heights, both physical and nonphysical. It is our Spirit's heritage to be able to soar to the farthest reaches of our Universe and to discover the billions of galaxies far beyond our own.

In meditation we find that our bodies and Spirits are but one tiny cell in the living, breathing whole of nature and in All That Is. God/dess wishes to keep in touch with us at all times so S/He gave us the Way of Meditation for us to reach our final goal.

When our Spirits are willing and when our hearts are pure, we can open the door of love and reach out and touch the all-embracing Spirit of God/dess which is waiting there for us.
