Basic Magick Course

Killer, killer post indigo. This info, when i started out, took me months to find and compile. The length is a little intimidating but necessary.

Anyway my two cents for those just starting out.

Gnothi Seauton- Know Thyself (and nothing in excess)

Take nobody's truth for your own, for that is their truth. To find your truth arrive at your own conclusions from your own observations.


We are all an ingredient in the recipe of the universe each one adding an individual flavor to the whole of it.

thank you tal and well said.

in regards to those who read the psi section, please note that i endorse ladysilvervixen's videos, something happened during copy and paste from coven lol

I tried your sound emulation technique a few nights ago.
When I put your method into practice I could hear the ringing you mentioned. When I began the process of matching my energy output to the same frequency, I heard a second ringing noise; my instincts told me to adjust my energy output until the two ringing noises were at the same frequency. As the two sounds began to resonate I started, without concious input, to visualize the red energy becoming more focused, like a fluorescent light bulb, instead of in a state of flux, like those plasma energy balls you can buy in the shops.

I then decided to try the shield, much to my amazement, it worked.

I am still having trouble grounding, but it is getting easier with practice.

Thank you for you assistance.

well just keep practicing your doing great, im glad the technique worked for you. i hope anyone else needing help can use the same technique

Shielding 101


Today my lesson will be on shielding and types of shields.


What is a shield?

A sheild can be a wall, sphere, dome or convex layer or any shape that protects you from either negative forces or another witch's powers, Eg. Protection from hexes, charms, jinxes, demons, illusions etc


How are these shields created?

These shields are purely your personal energy working for you. When an enemy chants and brings forth a hex, your working of chants, visualization (very important ) and belief can construct a shield.

Note: A shield is only as strong as the caster can make, so regular practice of meditation and cleansing of blockages and grounding and centering keeps your powers from ''rusting'' since your energy system needs to be maintained from time to time.

eg of shield creation instructions.

1) create a solid compressed blue coloured psi ball
2) let it be almost weightless yet solid in structure
3) let it expand across the whole body into a sphere

so by now you should understand that visualization is the main key to this as well with any spell. Even you are chanting words or not visualization is the key

Types of shields

Basic shields


Diffusion shields

These shields are the most common of all shields, they are used in normally in almost any shielding spell. Not because the shield is common does not mean it has little use in protection. This shield when encountered with foreign energy will split the energy waves into two parts and neutralize it on spot at a weaker state.


Absorption shields


Absorption shields absorb foreign energy struck at it, it seals the energy with in its self which in some cases may even strengthen the shield providing the opponent spells are not strong enough to break it. It will only be broken when its absorption tolerance level has surpassed its limit.


Reflection shields

Reflection shields will reflect the spell back to sender in most cases. But will not harm anyone else innocently if done properly if done properly and there is no unforeseen variable. These shields should be visualized as shiny in the visualization process, this is to act like a mirror. once again basic shields are just as strong as advanced shields if done properly and conjured by a strong practitioner.


Intermediate shields

illusion shields

These shields cannot protect you from actual energy effects physically but more in a mental form. Illusion shields are used to trick the opponent into seeing something else or what you want them to see. You project practically anything you wish to project. You can place it to confuse or dis-co-ordinate and attack.

Elemental shields (basic element)

Elemental shields uses the various elements for a shield and converges them with any given shield. In a basic elemental shield you only really the four basic elements. just simple additions to a diffusion shield etc.

Counter shields

Counter shields are special shields which are practically an specialized form of a reflective shield. In which it reflects attacks before it reaches into your vicinity. These shields contain a special aura which reflects the attack and prevents damage even being dealt to the shield.

Advanced shields


Elemental shields (advanced)

unlike the basic version the advanced elemental shield uses all elements, and differs now because one's understanding of the elements should be different now. For eg. you no longer see fire as its physical form alone, you know fire is healing, cleansing, and purity. Advanced elemental shields are constructed out of the environment's energy and sometimes your own personal energy in combination.


Polymorphic shield

These barriers/shields are one the most complex shields, these shields change structure and form when struck. They can either reflect, absorb, diffuse or altogether at once. Think of this shield as a rubbery shield that bends and twists.


Mental shield

A mental shield protects you from mental type attacks like illusions. This shield block telepathic attacks as well, things like the witches hands shake etc are ineffective when a mental shield is put in place, once again a shield is only as strong as its caster. A mental shield can prevent distractions of intimidation methods used by others to scare you into submission, even the greatest witch can't be too careful with another in a duel so one needs any advantage they can get. But mental shields help to level the floor board. Unfortunately mental shields do not protect you from physical magickal attacks.


Negative shields (ne-gay-tive)


Negative shields also may be knows as negatus spheres, practically ne-gate an attack, countering with energy of its own and grounding the opponent energy gradually reducing its strength.


Etheric shields


Etheric shields are special spirtual barriers that operate similar to a diffusion shield just naturally at a more powerful scale. it also grounds energy as well.


Note: when i spoke about magickal attacks please understand they



are as physical as you may think they are. Its not like knife and bullet but never the less it is protecing your self against demons, hexes and jinxes that can destroy family life ,job, mental condition etc.



Auric shields - These special shields that work in conjunction with our aura. It is vital to know your aura colour when using auric shields. These shields normally are like specialized diffusion shields that can very useful if one does not want to become a beacon (shining magickal target). However you can make that shield reflective as well if you like. Auric shields are best used to protect against negative energy, hexes etc. But must be used with caution since this shield's strength is linked with your OWN aura's condition. If you have a poor aura your shield will not be as strong.

How can you improve this?

* Be more positive in your behavior and actions to people, negative energy in your body depletes the aura hence that shield will be weak also.

* wear more colours, this is the number one reason why Females live longer than males, males tend to wear dark colours which depletes the aura and you energy system and in conjunction makes you ''sick'' literally.

* Chakra meditation practice this mediation to significantly improve the aura. with this practice all of your overall magickal abilities will be enhanced in due time, more abilities will be added on to you and it will be easier to keep positive day by day

Spells

A spoken or written formula which, in the act of magic or divination, is intended to create or change a particular course of events. The belief in spells and their employment dates back to antiquity. Spells have become an integral part of various religious and magical practices. Their methods vary accordingly from culture to culture, but all spells function on ritual activity. Spells are closely related to prayers, in that they both are a means of petitioning a deity or deities for a particular desired outcome, and which require the visualization of the goal, statement of desire for the goal and ritualized movements or body positions, such as the bowing of the head, the folding or clasping of hands, or shutting of the eyes, etc. Spells are also closely related to the various methods of employing the powers of the mind, such as ''creative visualization,'' ''positive thing,'' and ''positive imaging.'' Such methods help the one casting the spell to emphasize his mental images so he can better identify with these images and form a clear goal . The person repeats his intention to achieve the particular goal and combines it with the projection of his will and the invocation of the aid of the spirits, deities or Divine Force. There are various types of spells. Some are beneficial while others are harmful. Some claim they may be worked on man and beast alike. Their purposes are limitless including healing, love, success, money, fertility, longevity, protection against disaster, illness, misfortune and evil, exorcism of ghosts and spirits, victory in war and over an enemy, truth in divination, weather control and accomplishment of supernatural feats. When casted against enemies spells may be used to bring about illness, destruction, loss of love, impotence, loss of property, failure and even death. A person can cast a spell for himself, or direct it toward another person. A positive spell is called a blessing. A negative spell usually known as a hex or curse. Archaic terms for spells include bewitchment and enchantment. A binding spell is on that is casted with the intention of preventing harm or disaster, or to stop someone from performing a particular act such as a murder or rape, or something as inoffensive as spreading gossip.


Structure of a spell


An act of magic, that requires a magician, witch or sorcerer, performing a spell in a ritual. The spell itself consists of words or incantation (sometimes called charms or runes). The ritual is a prescribed set of actions performed while the spell is being recited. For example, the ancient Egyptians believed words were so powerful that speaking them would achieve the desired result. Certain words and Names on Power were essential in Egyptian magic and had to be pronounced correctly and with the proper intonation. The Tetragrammaton is the ultimate name on power in Western ceremonial magic.
A spell-casting ritual involves the raising of power (see also cone of power) through the combination of visualization, incantation (the statement of goal), petition of the deities and projection of the will. It is thought that the success of the spell rests on the power and will raised and the skill with which they are focused and projected. All of these powers go into spell casting. Things aiding spell casting include words, chants, songs, movements or dance which may be accompanied by the use of objects such as ritual tools, effigies, poppets, cords, candles, and nail clipping

What should I be visualising for each shield?

Thats the beauty of this, you simply visualize along the description of the shields, you can add and twist it anyway you want and truly make it your own by adding a personal touch to it

And nowhere does my good friend returner taught me a few of these and gave e good tips and hints occur in this post tut tut tut
