EXERCISE 1 — SIMPLE MEDITATION
EXERCISE 1 — SIMPLE MEDITATION
1. Connecting to the Flame: Start by staring into the flame. Sit a comfortable distance away from it.
For some people, the light may be too intense. If that is the case, stare past the flame. Look at the
light and the shadows behind it. Let your eyes go in and out of focus. Turn all your attention to the
fire before you. Feel the flame giving off white light, all the colors of the spectrum. The light fills
the room you are in and protects you from all harm. Some people say a short prayer or invocation
to any personal deities.
2. Relaxation: As you stare at the candle, stray thoughts will come into your mind. You may have
difficulty focusing solely on the candle. This is normal. Coach yourself through a relaxation of
your entire body, starting at the top of your head and moving down. Relax the muscles in your
head, face, neck, and shoulders. Feel your jaw relax. It is as if gentle waves of water are flowing
down your body. Pay attention to the sensations of release and then let them go, moving on to the
next part of your body. Relax your shoulders and arms, hands and fingers. Feel all tension leave
you chest and torso. Work through your trunk, until all tension has been released. Work down
through your legs to your toes. You entire body relaxes.
3. Going Deeper: Count backward from 12 to 1, counting each breath, still looking at the candle
flame. With each number, you go deeper into your meditative state. Let all extraneous thoughts go
as you count. As they arise, acknowledge and release them. Thank your conscious mind for
sharing, but now let it take a break for a while. Tell your ego that it does not have to be “in the
driver's seat” for this. All outside noises only serve to deepen the experience. You will react to
them only for your safety and highest good. Feel a gentle soothing sensation fill your body. Youare comfortable and relaxed. It feels much like a lazy afternoon of daydreaming. The feeling of
daydreaming is the alpha state. You have reached your meditative state with ease.
4. Being Open: Be open to whatever feelings, sensations, or experiences you are having, without
judgment. You are only looking for a period of relaxation by quieting the internal dialogue. This
can be difficult. If you slip out of this state, gently coax yourself back in by relaxing your body and
counting down. Just be. You do not have to do anything. Feel yourself simply at the center of your
own universe, your own perspective.
5. Grounding: When this experience feels complete, consciously count yourself from 1 to 12 and open
your eyes. As you return, you may feel light-headed and not quite all together. This is a normal
response. You need to ground yourself back to this reality. Such flightiness is often caused by a
deep meditation or energy work. That is why so many New Agers have a reputation for being a
little “out there.” Most are just a bit ungrounded. To ground yourself, get on the floor and visualize
any remaining energy flowing down into the earth. If you feel as if you are floating, imagine a ray
of light passing from the base of your spine down into the earth, like a string tying a balloon down.
Some people do something physical, like standing up, moving around, holding on to a piece of
furniture, or hugging a tree. Eating is another excellent way to ground. That is why so many rituals
use bread or cakes as part of the ceremony, to ground you afterward. Experiment and find a
technique that works for you.
Even though you can eventually feel and perceive more than usual, you may not
do so at first. That is perfectly normal. Right now, concentrate on achieving a
daydreamlike state. Keep your expectations simple. Some people have very
moving experiences and cry afterward, but that is quite rare. Most people think
“no big deal” and cannot figure out what meditation has to do with magick. They
are looking for action. The link between the two will become more apparent as
we go along.
Practice this exercise. The more often you do it, the easier it will be. This is
the first building block, one that may already be familiar to you. Soon, you will
no longer need the candle and will be able to achieve this sensation in a matter of
moments. It is a great trick when you are stressed out at work or with your
family.
Achieving your trance state is the first step. By visualizing in this state, you
affect reality. Magick consists of making a change with your will. All its forms
have many practical applications. For instance, you are running late for work.
You may be fired if you are late again. Don't panic, relax. Relaxation is the key.
You don't even have to get into a deep trance state while driving to work. Just
get a moment of relaxation. Imagine yourself getting to work on time, safely and
easily. Imagine yourself walking in and looking at the clock. You are exactly ontime. No one is angry. Then keep on driving, safely, confident that your magick
is working. Reality will conform to your expectations. If you don't think you will
be late, then you will not be. This is a great way to get parking spaces by the
door. Visualize a spot near the door about ten minutes before you reach your
destination. Visualization is co-creation in action. I did not think you could use
magick or spiritual discipline for such things, but my teachers encouraged me.
This little trick kept me sane during college, trying to find the ever-elusive
parking space on a crowded city campus. Magick lets you flow with the universe
and makes life easier. Things become less of a struggle. They flow easily when
you are in the right place at the right time, doing what you need to be doing.
Visualization is one way to tell the universe what you need.
Color and light are ways to manipulate energy in physical reality. By
visualizing different colored light, you can change reality in situations that may
be too complex to visualize in detail. If family gatherings are particularly
argumentative, try this before going to the next one. Get into your trance state
and picture everybody at the gathering surrounded by blue light or blue mist.
Blue brings peace. It heals the spirit. At least, that is my interpretation of it.
What do the colors mean to you? Each one has a different energy and has a
different effect when used in a trance, changing with the practitioner's beliefs.

Visualizing without Visuals - low visualization/aphantasia energy work
You’re already aware that you can’t visualize things in your head. Either that or it’s very hard for you. I feel you. I’m right there with you. Because of this I’ve been unable to understand energy work for the longest time. So I thought I’d try to go into some other ways we “imagine” things in our minds eye if we have no concept of visuals in our heads. These are just ideas to get you started and to hopefully come up with some methods of imagining that work for you. ✋Touch: Think about what your energy work feels like. Does it flow? Drip? Does it feel like smoke or liquid or a solid? Does your energy feel hot or cool? Or is it warm and fuzzy? Does it feel like floating in the ocean with the cold waves around you and the hot sun beating down on your skin? What about a waterfall, icey cold and beating down upon your head and shoulders? How about a warm fuzzy blanket, wrapped around your whole body so you’re nice and comfy?
👃Smell: Do you remember smells really well? If so, think about what your energy work could smell like, and how that scent moves. Does it smell like mint or sage or peppermint? Or maybe rose or lavender? Does it smell like falling rainwater or the beach? A forest perhaps? Or maybe it just smells like your old grandpap. Does the scent waft across your being or does it hang in the air like a permanent, but welcome stench? 👂Hear: Does your energy have a sound? Could it sound like the warm crackling of a fireplace? Rain beating down and hitting the leaves of a tree before dripping onto the earth? Maybe your energy sounds like an earthquake or a blizzard. Maybe it sounds like quiet laughter after hearing your favorite joke. Does the sound pass over you in waves, is it quiet and soft, or is it loud and booming? 👄Taste: What, if anything, could your energy taste like? Salty like the ocean? Minty and fresh? Maybe it tastes like your favorite meal, maybe oatmeal or meatloaf or apple pie. Is the taste bitter? Sweet? Pungent? Does it have an aftertaste? Is it spicy or is it mild? Does it linger in your mouth through your body or does the taste pass through easily? 🙏 Hopefully this helps give you any ideas, I’m always open for input! 🙏

Hi, how are you? Can I ask for a pendulum reading? Is there any demon that want's to work with me? The names Seerre, Bune, Satan and Lilith are popping up. But I'm just a beginner and I don't feel good enough to be worthy of any demon. Thanks for just being here on tumblr.
Hi!!
Alright so first, your abilities in witchcraft do not determine you to be more or less worthy to work with, worship, and learn from Demons. All you need to start is respect for them, and a desire to learn from them. It is true that certain demons may not want to interact with you until you have developed your abilities more, and some may hold off on working with you until you have learned how to worship with devotion and respect. Some demons that have been said to be good for beginners include Stolas, Azazel, Lucifer, Satan, and Dantallion. That said, I would suggest perhaps purchasing some reading material written by S. Connoly. You can find her work by searching her name online. A good beginners guide is The Complete Book of Demonolatry, which discusses how demons came to be known as demons, how to connect with demons, making offerings, doing rituals, and a lot more. You may be able to find a PDF if you look hard enough. I also happen to have a PDF of her book on the Goetic demons that I can send to you if you’d like to message me.
Just remember that the most important part of making a connection with any deity is to be respectful.
As for the Pendulum reading:
Seere has not been reaching out to you, but he would be comfortable with forming a relationship with you and working with you. He is associated with Cedar incense, the element Air, and Willow trees. I additionally associate him with Jasmine and other air aligned herbs and crystals. A good offerings may include burning cedar incence, and placing willow tree leaves and small branches on an altar for him. When you make an offering, you could try speaking his enn to connect with him and request that he be present. His Enn is: Jedan Et Renich Seere Tu Tasa Here is a page with more information, but know that if you interact with Seere and find that you don’t agree with some of the information, that’s alright. People may percieve different demons in different ways, and each individual’s relationship with a specific demon will differ. https://demonsanddemonolatry.com/category/knowndemons/s/seere/
Bune would eventually like to work with you and believes that it would be benefiical, but he wants you to first learn about demonolatry and to learn about your own gifts in witchcraft before making that connection. He wants you to know yourself and to have a degree of confidence in your interactions, essentially.
Satan has stated that he does in fact want you to contact and worship him. He feels that he can offer you a secure spiritual home, in a sense, and that you could learn a lot through him. In my experience, Satan will give you the empowerment you’ve been seeking. He will guide you with love and care, but not to the point of causing your growth to stagnate. He is associated with the Sun, and good offerings may include insence such as Frankincense, Oud, Patchouli, and Sandalwood, hot tea of a flavor you might associate with him, and burning a black candle. Also, pray ot him. Whenever you please and for any reason with respect. Talking to him will help build your connection with him. His Enn is: Tasa Reme Laris Satan, Ave Satanas https://demonsanddemonolatry.com/lord-of-the-demons-and-the-demonic-divine-lord-satan/
Lilith certainly does seek to interact with you. She feels that she can help liberate aspects of yourself that you have been closed off to. Things that you might be denying yourself that could help you feel a greater sense of freedom and love and confidence for yourself. I haven’t personally interacted with her, but she seems to be commonly associated with Jasmine, Dragon’s Blood, Frankincense, Sandalwood, Lotus, Rose, Mugwort, and Chocolate. A good offering might include a chocolatey food on an offering plate, homemade would be escpecially personal, burning rose insence, and perhaps a handwritten note stating your desire to interact with and learn from her. Her Enn is: Renich Viasa Avage Lilith Lirach https://demonsanddemonolatry.com/category/dark-gods-and-goddesses/lilith/
Although it seems as though there’s a demon you may not have considered who wants to interact. Amy, AKA Avnas, is very keen on interacting with you. I couldn’t derive a reason, as it was stated that it’s a personal matter related to you. I would frankly suggest reaching out to Amy as soon as you’re able. You can connect with Amy by speaking his Enn: Tu Fubin Amy Secore and making offerings to him. A good offering might be Storax insence, and hot tea with an herb aligned with his element, which is fire. https://demonsanddemonolatry.com/category/knowndemons/a/amy/
In addition to this, I feel as though Dantalion would work quite well with you, and many other beginners. I have found him to be gentle, kind, and comforting during a particularly tough time in my life. He is associated with the element water, the insence Sandalwood and the plant Honeysuckle. An offering I did this morning for him was carving “Ave Dantalon” into a candle, stating outloud that it was an offering and that I am grateful for His presence, and lighting it. His Enn is: Avage Ayer Dantalion On Ca https://demonsanddemonolatry.com/category/knowndemons/a/amy/
I hope that this was helpful, and I wish you luck in your interactions. If you need any further guidance, feel free to send another ask or message me. There’s no such thing as a stupid question.
