Since The Movie Is Still Trending, Putting Out Another Post For My Bowuigi Server! Adults Only, And So

Instrumental Magic

for more musically-inclined witches :)

Create a sigil or amulet for intonation

Enchant your cleaning supplies to not only physically clean your instrument, but spiritually cleanse it too

If you use a reed, soak it in moonwater for an extra magical touch

Keep crystals in your instrument case! Personally I use pyrite for confidence + positivity, and hematite for anti-anxiety (feel free to put these on your stand, too)

Write sigils in your sheet music around particularly difficult spots in order to play them with ease

If you work with any music-related deities, maybe keep a necklace or crystal devoted to them in your case

Speaking of deities, perform a song for them! Maybe channel them and do some improv, see what you come up with

Create a musical spell! Compose a piece with your intention in mind and play it to cast it.

Cleanse your space or tools by playing a song

If you can decorate your instrument or case, perhaps add some sigils, runes, or alchemical symbols

Do a spell to motivate you to practice… lol

The Psyche Sigils

Inspired deeply by another post that I will reblog as soon as I can find it again, I wish to share this ritual which has helped me, and a way of thinking that has helped me in my day-to-day occult existence. I wrote a post on the spiritual vitamins but let's also put this down:

Rather than focusing on a specific intent, define what you most need in the present.

If you are feeling as though your boundaries aren't strong enough, or that you need more assertion, workings within the boundary of Mars or Saturn would be good. If you're dealing with grief, working with the moon's influence would be of aid, or working or incorporating the element of water into rituals. I adapt my daily practice as needed to include the invocation of certain elements or planets depending on the circumstances that are evident in mind, body and soul. If I'm feeling sluggish, a little bit of fire or solar energy is of good work. If I'm too in my emotions, adding air energy to either help me bring rationality into the mix or earth energy to bring me back to earth would work better than a ritual. So, in a basic and most undeniably inevitable sense, let your craft supplement your life, not your life your craft.

Now we move onto the second bit, the Psyche Sigils. This was a mixture of shadow work and sigil magic to access particular parts of me that I had neglected. The basic premise is to go through emotions that you need to process or examine such as:

Anger

Pain

Feelings of Loneliness

Feelings of Injustice towards the self

Feelings of Lack or Low Self-Esteem

And so on, in this sigil, it becomes your link to these aspects of yourself. Let yourself enter into a meditative state, contemplating the emotion while you go about it. Then, when they are complete, sit and meditate with them. Use them as access points towards those particular emotions, summon them forward. Let them take form, don't try to manipulate the form because the symbolism that the mind chooses is always an interesting experience. When the Personification of the Emotion comes forward, sit with them for a while. Ask them questions such as:

What is your source of manifestation?

In which way do you manifest in my life currently?

How can I acknowledge and reconcile you in my life?

And so on. Now, it might seem counter-intuitive to invite negative emotions and speak with them in such a matter but it is even more counter-intuitive to try and demonize and shut them down. They are you, you are them, you are human and you are the experiencer and beholder of these emotions. This rite seems to work by way of bringing conscious awareness to things that the magus has shut away in hopes of being a better person or to meet some gain. By acknowledging and making way to heal the emotion, it becomes a much more potent experience because you approach it in a more conducive way, understanding your emotions rather than trying to see them as an external force. From then, this rite can be done consecutively, and one can follow the advice given by the personifications of these emotions on how to remedy them or how to work with them in a way that is more conducive to your existence. I hope this helps. The first step to any issue is to acknowledge the issue, find its source and work to remedy it in both long-term and short-term instances... the old acronym, VITRIOL...

The Secrets of the Void: Entering the Ultimate Psychic State

Introduction: The Void is a profound state of consciousness where the mind transcends ordinary reality, offering deep psychic insights and spiritual experiences. Tapping into the Void can amplify your intuitive abilities and connect you with higher realms.

How to Enter the Void:

Prepare your space by choosing a quiet, comfortable location where you won’t be disturbed. Start by meditating deeply, focusing on your breath, and slowly clearing your mind of all thoughts. Visualize yourself floating in a vast, dark space, where nothing exists but you. Surrender fully to the emptiness, letting go of all expectations and concerns.

Practice deep, slow breathing to calm your nervous system and help you enter a state of deep relaxation. Light candles or incense to create a serene atmosphere, enhancing your focus on entering the Void. Use calming music or binaural beats designed to help reach altered states of consciousness. Try grounding yourself first by imagining roots growing from your body into the Earth, anchoring you in the present moment.

Adopt a comfortable posture, either sitting or lying down, that allows you to remain still for an extended period. Keep your eyes closed to reduce external stimuli and enhance your inward focus. Set a clear intention before you begin, asking for guidance or clarity during your journey into the Void. Practice mindfulness, bringing your awareness fully into the present moment, letting go of past and future thoughts.

Repeat a mantra or affirmation that helps you detach from your everyday thoughts and enter a deeper state. Focus on the space between your thoughts, allowing the silence to expand. Imagine yourself dissolving into the darkness, becoming one with the Void. Let go of the need to control your experience, allowing whatever arises to do so naturally.

Use visualization techniques to see the Void as a gateway to deeper understanding and insight. Imagine a doorway or portal in your mind’s eye that leads directly into the Void. Focus on your third eye, the center of your forehead, as a way to enhance your psychic awareness. Release all tension in your body, letting it melt away as you sink deeper into relaxation.

Practice yoga or gentle stretching beforehand to prepare your body for stillness. Keep a journal nearby to record any insights or experiences that come to you after your session. Set a timer to avoid checking the time, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience. Consider fasting or eating lightly before your session to enhance mental clarity.

Focus on your breath, counting each inhale and exhale to help quiet the mind. Use crystals like amethyst or clear quartz to enhance your connection to the Void. Practice regularly, as entering the Void becomes easier with time and experience. Start with short sessions, gradually increasing the time spent in meditation.

Visualize yourself surrounded by a protective light, ensuring your journey into the Void is safe. Allow yourself to drift off if you feel sleepy; sometimes, the Void can be accessed in the space between wakefulness and sleep. Use essential oils like lavender or sandalwood to help calm the mind and body. Focus on the feeling of weightlessness, as if you’re floating in the vastness of space.

Clear your mind of all distractions, both internal and external, before you begin. Listen to your intuition, following any guidance or impressions you receive during your journey. Stay patient and persistent, as entering the Void can take practice and dedication. Consider using a guided meditation specifically designed to help you reach the Void.

Trust the process, even if your experience is subtle or different from what you expected. Be open to whatever messages or insights come to you, even if they seem unrelated at first. Allow yourself to feel the vastness and silence of the Void, embracing the stillness. Reflect on your experience afterward, noting any shifts in your awareness or understanding.

Practice detachment, letting go of any need for a specific outcome or experience. Keep your mind open, allowing the Void to reveal itself to you in its own time. Approach each session with a sense of curiosity and wonder, exploring the unknown depths of your consciousness.

Drawing and using Umbra Energy

Umbra is Latin for shadow so basically shadow energy. A good way to attempt to harness that energy is to get a feel for it.

-I would sit in a dark room with just enough light to see. Sit down and bring your hands together in a cupping gesture.

-In between your hands try to visualize the shadows and darkness of the room beginning to pool and form an orb between your hands.

-As the energy builds get a feel for it. Keep your empathic senses open as it will help (if you are empathic)

-Once you know what the energy feels like and how to gather it you should be able to use that energy in spells
