How to manifest your desires

Introduction

This article is a continuation of “How to begin with practical Magick” article. So if you didn’t read the aforementioned article first, do so before reading further in this article because some knowledge from previous article is required for this one.

What is a desire manifestation

Desire manifestation is the most common action you will ever perform in Practical Magick. Same as you create constructs in psionics and you create sigils in Sigil Magick to manifest your desires, you can use a simple spell I will describe below to manifest what you strive for.

Result - planning and analysis

Before we begin with describing the spell to manifest desires, we want to make sure that everything will go as smoothly as possible so the first thing should be the outcome analysis.

In this stage we specify our intent, we name possible blockages and most importantly we imagine a situation where the desire was already manifested. Imagine what will happen next and if you are truly happy with the outcome. What we want is not always what we truly need and in Magick you have to be careful of what you wish for, because you could get it.

In this phase you can also use some divination tool like pendulum, mirror, tarot, to check the situation and possible outcome.

Breath of Will - manifestation spell

Breath of Will is an Air element based spell for manifesting desires. I chose this one as an example because there is no real requisite needed. You don’t need a pen and paper like in Sigil Magick, you don’t need water like in Water Magick, you don’t need to know how to consecrate tools and you don’t need any higher sense to communicate with spirits.

1. Start with Centering and grounding yourself, this will give us good background.
2. Realize borders of your body and feel them. We will use these borders as a vessel for our desire.
3. Start repeating your intent in your mind as a litany and feel your body being filled with this intent. Do so till you feel full of your intent, of its energy. From psionic point of view we use this step to accumulate energy into construct (borders of your body) and programming it (your intent, desire)
4. When you feel you cannot hold anymore energy accumulated from previous step, move all the energy to your lungs (feeling is good enough) and specify an intent that your desire will manifest the first time that the affected object is exposed to air again. Affected object can be some person, device, building, vehicle, etc.
5. Breath the desire out of your lungs to the surroundings to manifest it. This is the Breath of Will spell.

How to begin with Practical Magick

Introduction

Magick is like a world, a beautiful world that Magicians can explore. Some explores with a good deal of study and dreaming, some perform rituals to please their deities and live in balance with nature. Some are more practically oriented.

Practical Magick is, in my opinion, the most amazing part of this world.  Getting results is a good way how to get rid of natural skepticism we have within ourselves and such results can be easily obtained through Practical Magick.

Before we start with some serious training and serious results, we need to sum up the basics, first.

Learn how to focus

Focusing is first important part of practical Magick. You cannot really influence anything when your mind is wildly changing thoughts and flying somewhere else, your mind must be one for Magick.

For this person I will say a bit about trataka practice. Trataka means gazing and trataka practice is important part of developing solid focus and also strengthening your eyes.

Trataka

1. Light a candle and put it in front of you. Distance of 3fts should be enough. Best position is in front of your eyes.
2. Gaze into the candle flame without blinking. When this is painful, you can put the candle further away.
3. A lot of thoughts will arrive during this practice, don’t focus on them, just let them flow away and gaze to the candle flame.
4. When your eyes get watery, close them and rest them. You will see after-image
5. Try to hold the after-image as long as possible. First try will be in matter of seconds, later it will be matter of minutes. This helps to develop visualization skill.
6. Repeat from step 2 for about 10 minutes. You can prolong this exercise during your practice.

Learn how to ground yourself

Grounding is an important act of Magick. It helps you to feel at home, to gain energy and to protect you from most basic problems associated with Magick.

 

Most common procedure

1. Take few deep breaths, this will help you to get more oxygen to your brain and body
2. Keep breathing and visualize that roots are growing from your heels going deeper and deeper into the ground with each breath-out. Keep this visualization going for few minutes.
3. Visualize energy from energy that flows through your roots and through your heels and distributed across your body with every breath-in (keep this visualization going for couple of minutes, too).

By the way. You can also visualize that during breathing-out you send negative energies from your body to the ground where they are locked and transformed into positive energies. Just a little addition :).

Learn how to center yourself

Centering yourself is an important act of connecting fragments of your mind into one functional piece.

Actually it takes a years of practice to get really one unfragmented mind but generally less fragmented your mind is, more useful your mind is and more efficient your spells will be, keep that in mind.

Six shadows 

This is a centering spell, it goes like this:

1. Take few deep breaths
2. Visualize your avatar being on the left of you.
3. Slowly transfer your mental image into your body
4. Do the same for the right side, for the front, for the back, for the above and for the below

That’s the complete Six shadows spell that will help you to get centered.

Daily practices

Daily practice is the core of practical Magick. It helps you to gain habit, experience and willpower. I will present you with a most time-efficient daily practice currently known to me.

For that reason I will have to break my oath and enforce my belief for once. You can modify this practice if you don’t agree with me, but if I can give a hint. Just believe. Even if it mean just during this practice.

Firstly we will need a prayer beads. Piece of string with 27, 54 or 108 knots will do just fine. Kabbalistic litany I am going to show you should be repeated 108 times in the morning and in the evening.

The litany is AHIH ASR AHIH (pronounced as EHEIEH ASHER EHEIEH), this sentence means “I will be who I will be”, I think it’s a good litany for spiritual development. The story goes that this was God’s answer to Moses’ question about God’s real name.

I personally mixed the practice with fourfold breath.

 

This practice goes as following:

1. Take few deep breaths
2. Center yourself
3. Ground yourself
4. Breath-in while vibrating the litany in your mind, move with your fingers by one bead
5. Hold your breath and vibrate the litany once again, once again move with your fingers by one bead.
6. Vibrate the litany while breathing-out, move by one...
7. Hold your breath (yeah, without breathing), while vibrating the formula and moving by one bead.
8. Vibrate the litany again while breathing-in, move by one bead...
9. Continue till you moved by all 108 beads.

And of course, you should practice trataka at least once per day.

Dreams

Dreams are important in Magick. Through dreams we can obtain messages from higher planes and through dreams we can learn something about ourselves. Remembering dreams is the first thing you should learn.

To remember your dreams, keep saying a simple litany in your mind. The litany states “I remember all my dreams”. By the way, did you know you have about 8 dreams per night in average? Keep repeating “I remember all my dreams” every night in your head till you fall asleep and in few days you will start recalling your dreams.

It starts slowly, in the beginning, you will remember just some flashbacks, probably black and white. Slowly you will develop bigger recall where you will remember whole stories of your dreams.

To find out what dream meant, write it down. By writing the dream down, you will sort the data first and you will have a hard copy of the dream in case you don’t understand the symbolism, yet. Then, go through each item, color and event in your dreams and ask yourself: “What does it mean?”. Search for meanings and you will get answers :).

Telepathy suggestion

Telepathy suggestion is a simple way how to develop some powers and how to gain some quick results. For practicing telepathy suggestion you need some person that doesn’t know you are about to suggest action to, preferably turned back from you. Look at the back of skull of the subject and keep repeating in your mind: “You have to turn back at me. You have to look at me. You must turn back”.

At first, subject will start getting nervous. Subject will slowly start looking around and after a while, subject will look at you.

Never start this exercise when you cannot finish it and never stop till you get the result. Interrupting action in the middle is a huge shock for your willpower and next time, it will be harder to get results. In opposite case, every time you practice this exercise, getting results will be easier to you.

Harsh shower in the morning

Some people really should wake up. I usually don't have many problems with black magicians (unless they cause the problem), but why the hell a young generation is interested in black Magick?

Conjurations of demons, "rule" over forces of "evil", "manipulating" with lives of other people...

All a demon can afford to you is a debt, debt which will screw you, sooner or later. Forget about hell, you are going to taste that in current or next life, as exorcist I have seen few such cases.

People generally consider demons as evil, yet powerful beings and angels are publicly considered as something "holy" and totally useless. In fact, angels are more bad-ass than demons. Demon cannot afford anything beyond your grade, effect is always dependent on your energetic level and on how much the demon will leech from you. Angels will do the change on their own, but they want something else in return.

For example you want a dagger, angel will give you steel and will tell you how to craft it instead of giving you some cheap dagger that was lost somewhere by someone.

And most important topic: "rule" over demons...
Simply no. No matter how much you think you control them, real rule behind this masquerade is a bit different. Demons are always the ones who have the final word, no matter how much all-powerful you think you are, you still are just puppets of their power and when puppeteer loses interest in his puppet, puppet will, in better case, ends up in the corner. Garbage is the worse case.

Skepticism in occult circles

Today I am going to rant a little about current situation in the occult circles.

Common mundane person takes whole occult as a bunch of @$!#@!!, I get used to that. But why the hell are skeptics in occult circles?

Common transformation of mundane person to occult practitioner contains an esoteric event that cannot be explained by common sense and a new kind of thinking has to occur. Now, common procedure would be for the occult practitioner to start questioning his old beliefs and obtain new beliefs through research and practice.

Unfortunately this is something that doesn't happen. Common procedure today is that:

1. Something unexplained happens
2. Mundane person develops a new level of thinking for the specific event and similar events
3. He still take everything else as a @$!#@!! till something outside is "occult" scope happens and he has to modify his beliefs once again.

This doesn't sound so bad, but it leads to many misunderstanding among practitioners. Different experiences lead to different beliefs and to the root of the argument. In occult you cannot just wait till something smashes you to your face, you have to search it, using method as described above leads to following example:

1. Ok, so I am in 19 floors high building on the top and there is a hole in this floor. What happens if I jump to the hole?
2. Oh, I fell down and broke some of my bones, so now I know that jumping into the hole in 19th floor means this, but look, there is a hole in this floor too? What will happen if I jump through this hole?
3. Repeat
4. ????
5. Profit

If some event changes your life and you start seeing occult with new eyes, why do you still have to hold your old assumptions? If you believe in existence of esoteric phenomena, if you believe in Magick, how can you not believe in God? Or most importantly, why do you think that one part is real and the other is fake?

Well, I will tell you, no one is happy to find out he was wrong for his entire life. Not because of some shame, but because that's the exact event that destroys Ego, finding out that all assumptions you made about your life are nothing but just assumptions.

Public thanks

So, to put the story short. Today I staid a bit longer in the office because I had to finish some work and I nearly got to miss the last bus home, sounds pretty much like Friday 13th story.

During my travel to the bus I had to go through a traffic lights and a subway. When I got to the traffic lights, lights changed, rendering the task of getting home impossible. Being in hurry I called archangel Metatron, asked for forgiveness for such insignificant event and asked him to help me to get home.

Traffic lights immediately changed and I was able to pass to the next point, subway.

Just when I arrived, train was going to leave, I got there in the last second. Then I appeared at the bus station and nearly missed the last bus home.

Now, when the traffic light didn't change, I wouldn't be able to get home, today.

So, Metatron, I would like to publicly thank you for your help, not being you, I wouldn't be able to catch the bus, you truly are lesser YHVH, most powerful of all Elohim. All glory to God for creating such powerful angel :).

Death

Topic of death is as old as human history and I believe that this topic will be alive till the end of mankind.

Reason is that death is the true mystery. Are we going to the hell? To the heaven? Are we going to reincarnate or we will just cease to exist? Is there anything after death? Maybe a never-ending dream or just a void?

There are three qualities we can use to judge a person's life. Birth, life and death.

You could say that no one can choose the birth but opposite is truth, we do choose our birth conditions and we do choose are bodies. I myself was a witness of spirit of my son descending into his body when he was still in the womb (about the 4th week of pregnancy). Harder birth we choose, bigger persons we are for the start is the most important part of the race and just those that choose furthest possible distance have to put more effort into their victory.

Life is tied to the body, too. During birth we get cards for our little game and with those cards we play the game called life, don't worry about losing because there will be rematch, later. But make sure to do your best to win the game and to enjoy it as much as possible, it seems like a lifetime but our presence in bodies as actually just few moments.

Now we get to the death, the ultimate mystery, just by using common sense we can say that whoever ever find out what is death or what is after death never was alive enough to tell the story, my belief teaches about reincarnation but we never can be sure, right? :)

I have a small wish regarding death. I want to live long enough to see generations of my descendants to grow up. I want to make sure that teachings I will share won't be lost and that every spell I have ever created will be passed to next generation. And when I have enough, I will stop my heart and interrupt my existence, finishing my path of Magick. That's the ideal death for me.

How do you see an ideal death? What does it mean to you? Share in comments section :).

Progress in training

Recent magnetic training is already paying off.

I feel much better now and following things happened in past few days:

• I took a vacation for Tuesday and because I didn't want to waste time I didn't go to sleep on Monday to enjoy as much of the free time as I could, funny enough I didn't feel any luck of sleep :).
• On Wednesday I was pretty busy so I couldn't get myself time to eat, no problem with that, either.

No feeling of tiredness, no feeling of hunger, I feel simply great :).

I will see if I can sum my recent experiences into some paradigm and share it with all of you.

May God bless you :)

About Magick and development

Common expectations

• Chanting magickal formulae to immediately cause earthquakes and storms.
• Teleporting.
• Casting fireballs from your arse.
• Etc.

Common beginning

1. You start practicing Magick for any of above common expectations.
2. You tried something and it seems to work. You are not able to cast fireballs, but for sure you were able to find that place on the full parking lot.
3. Your ego boosts and you start acting as a all-powerful uber-mage.
4. Something happens and you cannot manipulate the event.
5. (in most cases) You give up.

About the development

Development in Magick is a complex and time-consuming process, one needs decades to master Magick. Many people give up the practice because they either don't want to wait for decades or they have a too big expectations or too big Ego to get anywhere.

It's a foolish to interrupt your practice because you don't want to wait for decades to have any results, gaining abilities and powers happens the whole time along the path to mastery and every stage of development is an adventure on its own.

About Ego

Ego is very dangerous thing when it comes to Magick. Your first positive result (even the false one) will feed your Ego and you will have thoughts about how powerful or amazing you are. Dismiss these if you want to get anywhere. There is nothing as mastery obtained in few days in Magick and no matter on which stage of development you are, there is still something better and greater. Don't stop your practice, store you have learned and keep going and act to other people as if they are a step ahead of you, else you will find yourself giving advices they don't want.

Where to learn the basics

1. Get books and obtain theory
2. Find teacher and obtain practice

Many people do the mistake of starting on their own. I did this mistake myself and I had to undergo a sequence of mistakes that were very unpleasant and I am still experimenting to the extent.

If you want to learn on your own anyway, learn how to read Aura, how to read Tarot and go to some party to act as a gypsy, don't call me in the middle of night how to banish the demon you just evoked and how to cure a heart attack...

If you want to learn the Magick, but I mean the real practical Magick, find yourself a very good and experienced teacher who will have answer to any of your questions, who will be able to lead you and will always know what to do, else you WILL repeat most of beginners' mistakes and you WILL have a lot of problems. I don't say it's impossible, just very painful. It's learning the things the hard way.

Yeah, you will gain a lot of fun during the practice and you will learn a lot of things on your own, but it stops being funny when something unexpected happens, something you didn't read about, and problems arise, in such case, even your sanity and life can be threatened.
