FAQ: How Do I Write A Spell?
Many people come to this forum and ask for
spells
to protect their loved ones, find a loved
one, find
a new job, find something they lost, or any
other
thing that one could conceive. Immediately,
their
request is turned down because we at OF have
a
strict no-spell-begging policy. So, then,
instead of
giving someone a fish so they can feed
themselves
for a day, let us teach someone how to fish
so they
can feed themselves for a lifetime (or
more).
~Exploring
Spellcraft~
First things first. What is the purpose of
your spell? Think
very heavily on this one because there is
more to this
questions than meets the eye. Do not just
think about
the spell's purpose, but also think about
your motivation
to work the spell. What drives you to do
it? Is it unhealthy
selfishness? Is it temporary anger?
What?
The reason you need to understand the
"what" and "why"
of spellcrafting is that you need to be
very clear on what
it is you want. You also need a good
reason for wanting it.
Otherwise, your spell will have the
consistency of an essay
written in crayon by a three
year-old.
Meditate on your answer. Ask the why of
the why until
you feel you have reached the discernable
source of
your need for this spell. When you are
absolutely certain,
begin to seek out what correspondences
could work
to bring about the change that you
desire.
Colours, herbs, oils, sigils, gods,
goddesses, angels, demons,
spirits, elements ... use metaphysical
encyclopedias, magickal
almanacs, Google. Make a long list of every
correspondence
that has to do with your
goal.
Now that you have this list, find a common
denominator
over and above you spell's goal. For
example, say you are
wanting to write a healing spell. Well, in
your list you would
have correspondences from the element of
Water, the goddess
Kuan Yin, the Sun, rock crystal, et
cetera. Say you pick the
Sun as your secondary focal point. You
would then go over
your list and pick out everything that
corresponds to both
healing and the
Sun.
This is how you begin to narrow down your
list to a few key
ingredients. You don't want the list to be
very long at all,
because then you'll have difficulty
working in every correspondence
to your spell. Narrow it down using
practicality. How available
are the things on your list? What can you
get from a place
like Walmart rather than an expensive
occult store?
Personally, I narrow it down to four
things:
-
A deity, spirit, angel,
demon.
-
A type of incense.
-
A type of crystal or
stone.
-
A sigil, glyph, or
image.
Once I have these four things, I can begin
to write out the spell itself, and then
place it
in a ritual.

So how is a ritual conducted? Why are
spells
done in ritual? Can spells be done
without
ritual? Let's answer each of these
questions
in no particular order (except, perhaps,
backwards).
Can spells be done without
ritual?
Yes.
Why are spells done in
ritual?
There are several answers to this
question.
The one which appeals most to me is
that
the setting of ritual evokes an air of
mystery
and power which is instrumental in
opening
up those parts of your Mind which is
connected
to the greater All, the One, the Source, the
Tao.
In the same way that shuffling cards in
Tarot
serves as a distraction for your conscious
mind
so that your unconscious mind can pick
the
right cards, in ritual one acts out the rites
and
parts simply because they are very
necessary
for preparing you to be open to the change
that
you want to make
happen.

How is a ritual
conducted? In my experience,
what one does first is they meditate, or they chant, or
dance until they enter a trance-like state. This is a
state in which your brain produces what are called
alpha-waves. These waves have been known to speed up
recovery from illness, reverse the effects of stress, as
well as open the Mind to patterns.
You want to
prepare a special time and place for the ritual. This is
because you are about to connect to the sacred, shifting
your consciousness to a different radio station. It is
much more effective if you feel that the time and the
place are special.Depending on your
tradition, methodology, or personal preference, you may
not perform the ritual as I'm explaining it here in the
same way at all. I do what I can
to eliminate all possibility of distraction. I turn off
the TV, radio, unplug the phone, shut down the computer,
turn off my mobile, et cetera. I close and lock the
doors, and the curtains, and before I turn out the
lights, I light candles. Candles naturally create an
atmosphere of mystery. We are not used to working by
candlelight, so when you are surrounded by only
candlelight, you can't help but feel that this time and
place is special.To add to the
austerity, I usually light incense. It works best if
this type of incense corresponds to your goal. If your
incense is expensive, and you only want to use it for
the spell itself, then go ahead and save it for now.
Many Witches "smudge" sage. A smudge is a bundle of
dried herbs which is lit and let to smoulder. The fumes
from sage have purifying properties. It clears the area
of unwanted energy. Others use Frankincense and/or Myrrh
for this same purpose. I prefer
Sandalwood.Also to clear the
space, and to re-enforce that this is a special time and
place, some will ring an altar bell. Sometimes they ring
it a certain number of times: 3, 6, 9, 12. Some walk
around in a circle (clockwise in the Northern
Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere)
as they ring the bell. They may also chant, or pray as
they do so. You can pray anything from the Buddhist Four
Immeasurables, to the Lord's Prayer, or perhaps the
Charge of the Goddess/God. Whatever feels right to
you.Take a few
moments to feel the space. Reach out with your six
senses (taste, touch, sight, sound, smell, and Mind) to
experience the space. You're not looking for anything,
you're simply experiencing it. Feel how mysterious,
fragile, and charged the room
feels.At this point
many will cast a Circle. There are several methods to
doing this, from physically using a cord or chalk to
mark the boundaries to the circle, to simply visualizing
its perimeter. If you do not have a prefered way of cast
a circle, here is a method from
Real Magick.Between Opening
and Closing a Circle is when your spell is performed.
After the spell is done, the Circle is closed,
everything is put away, your blow out the candles
(unless the spell requires otherwise), open the curtains
... basically you return everything to way it was.
Then, it is important to do something
completely ordinary and engaging. Going for a walk,
shopping, eating, laundry, TV. Something. This is the
act of grounding - of coming back to reality. Of
re-focusing and re-integrating your Mind with the rest
of the world.

~Spell Construction
Example~ Alright, so let
us pretend that we are going to perform a healing ritual
for Matt. Let us also pretend that we have gone for a
Solar influence and have decided that we will be using
the following
correspondences:God: Apollo (who will be
represented by a gold, white, or yellow
candle)Incense:
SandalwoodStone: Sunstone (not
goldstone - there is a
difference!)Image: A picture of Matt
(or a drawing, or a card with his full name and
birthday)Also, in our
search for correspondences, we decided that we would
draw a symbol on the picture we have of Matt to help
amplify the magick. So in the spell,
we will call to Apollo to help raise, send, and sustain
the healing energy. We will be using the smell of
sandalwood to promote health of the mind and emotions
(incense is associated with the Air Element which
governs the Mind), we will be using the stone to carry
our intent and energy in a solid, real form, and the
picture will be used to make our target real to us as we
are in ritual (a place "between
worlds").Before any of
this, too, you will want to write out what you will say.
If it helps you to remember your lines, you can make
them rhyme. Rhyming is much fun, and delivers an extra
oomph to your work, in my
opinion.First, we would
call up the guy who's going to help us out with this.
You can't start moving furniture until the help arrives,
right? So, you'd light the candle, and you'd call to
Apollo. In your own words. It's proper to show respect,
but don't sound like an idiot by gumming up your speech
with grandiose terminology and lame attempts at
Middle/Old English.When calling to
him, make sure to outline what it is you hope to
accomplish (the ultimate goal), what it is you will be
doing (your responsibilities) and what it is you wish
for him to do (his part). Don't make it too wordy. It
doesn't have to be, "You will take X energy from Y plane
and insert it using Z method into Matt's body at these
specific places at these times." It can be a simple as,
"I charge you with the care of Matt and his restoration
to health from (this
ailment)."Next, I would
focus on the picture of Matt and chant the intention of
the spell. It helps to have a mantra prepared. "Heal
Matt, Heal Matt, Heal Matt" will work. You can also get
more specific. "Heal Matt's Flu, Heal Matt's Flu, Heal
Matt's Flu." Chant this until it becomes automatic,
rhythmic, and free-flowing. At this time, I would draw
the symbol of the Sun
over Matt's
picture.You can actually
purchase gold gel pens, or even gold markers. You do not
need them, but it certain would help to keep the Solar
theme intact. Placing the
Sunstone in the center of the symbol of the Sun, I would
then chant the mantra again, focusing on Matt and his
wellbeing. You can also visualize energy coming from the
candle (Apollo) and soaking into both the image (Matt)
and the sunstone. Also, visualize white energy welling
up from inside of you and streaming into both the image
and the sunstone as well.It is important
that in your chanting you see Matt being healthy and
well again. Make this image in your mind become a
reality. Your thoughts are things - they can (and
hopefully, will in this case) manifest. When you feel
you have sufficiently sent Matt this healing energy,
thank Apollo and inform him that he may now depart, but
be sure to ask him to watch over and help speed Matt
along the road to recovery.Pass the stone
through the incense a few times, followed by the
picture. These things are concrete attachments to your
spell, to their healing energy, to Apollo and Matt. I
would keep these things in a small bag, and then give
the bag to Matt to keep under his pillow while he
recovered.This concludes
the example of a spell construction. I should point out
that after this is done, you would close your Circle and
dismiss any elementals you called
upon.

~Tools of the
Trade~ Altar: The center of sacred
rites. The place of sacrifice (not necessarily of living
things). The place where one's magickal tools and other
items needed for a Working cand be laid out. It can be
permanent or portable. Altar placement is not a standard
in religions like Wicca, however, some demand that the
altar be a certain direction (usually East, North, or
Center).The Athame (ATH-e-may; a-THAM-ee;
a-THAH-may; a-THAME. British pronunciation; ath-AY-mee)
is one that you will hear mentioned over and over again.
What is it? It is traditionally a black-handled knife
(although in modern practice it can have any colour
handle) that is an important symbol of the element of
Air (or Fire, depending on your tradition). It is
typically used to direct energy, draw a Circle, make
pentagrams, cut or take down a Circle, et cetera.
It is a consecrated tool, not a cutting
instrument. An athame is usually double-edged. Some
Wiccans believe that if an athame draws blood, it is no
longer fit to be used as a sacred tool. Some feel it
should be a strictly personal tool, belong to and used
by one witch. Others believe that an athame may be
shared in class or coven
situations.The Bell (my favorite) is a tool
used in casting, cleansing, and/or closing a Circle.
Hand bells, struck bells, gongs, singing bells or bowls,
and small chimes are all used as bells. A clear tone can
be cleansing. Also used to engage the sense of hearing
when making magick. Certain tones have magickal
correspondences and
influences.The Besom (From Old English
besema or besma - a bundle of twigs) or
broom is a tool which is used to cleanse an area by
sweeping away all the negative influences. Literally and
figuratively. In handfasting ceremonies, the couple
"jumps the broom" to signify that they are setting up
housekeeping and leaping into a new future
together.The Boline (or bolline) is a
white-handled knife or small sickle. This is the tool
which is used for more mundane work such as
cord-cutting, scribing words or sigils on items, slicing
food, harvesting herbs, et cetera. While the athame is
used only to "cut energy," the boline is used for the
cutting/chopping tasks.It can be as
simple as a steak knife, a paring knife, a jack knife,
or even a hunting knife. This knife is usually
single-edged. Some actually combine their athame and
their boline into one blade, keeping it sharp and using
it to cut mundane things as well as
energy.The Cauldron (from Old French
caudron or chaudron, derived from Latin
caldaria, a kettle for hot water). In English
before 1330 it was called a caudrun, after it was a
caldron or caudrona. A black metal pot used for various
magickal purposes, traditionally it is made of
cast-iron, has three legs, and a handle. Today, however,
even floating candle holders will do (unless you plan to
light fires in them).It can be used
for making brews or cooking. It is used to symbolize the
womb and is often used in rebirthing ceremonies. It is
also associated with the Water element. Traditionally
used to restore the dead or bring fertility to the
crops.Chalice: From Greek
kylix. This is a consecreated ritual cup which is
often a stemmed goblet (although any shape can be used).
This, too, is used to symbolize the Water element, and
is often used to hold the sacred
libation.The Cord is used as a tool in
magickal acts such as binding or knotting and/or
unknotting a spell to focus intent. It can be braided
and/or in certain colours to indicate attainment of
degrees.Pentacles are disks with a
pentragram inscribed on it. It is often used to
symbolize the Earth element, and is sometimes used to
hold cakes or bread. Some groups paint one side black
and the other white, and it ca be used as both a shield
and a magick mirror. Staves (plural of Staff) are usually wooden rods
the length of a cane or a walking stick or longer. They
can be used as just walking sticks, and as a repository
of magickal energy to aid in spellwork. Some think of
the staff as a large wand while others feel that it is a
separate kind of tool altogether. The staff is one of
only two common tools which is supposed to touch the
ground in normal use (the altar is the
other).The Sword is an edged blade longer
than a dagger, usually greater than fourteen inches. It
is used as a ceremonial weapon to defend the Circle from
unwanted influences. Many groups have a group sword.
The Wand is a
consecrated short stick used to store and/or manipulate
energies and possibily to store spells. It can symbolize
either the Fire or the Air element (depending on your
tradition). It can be made from any material such as
wood, glass, crystal, plastic, metal, et cetera. It can
be plain or fancy with pain, inscriptions, crystals,
feathers, beads, or other decorations. Some traditions
use a wand in situations were it would be inappropriate
to use a blade.

Magick: The Use of Color in Magick |

Basics of Magick: The Use of Color in
Magick
~Basics of Magick: The Use of Color in
Magick~ by
Arwynn MacFeylnnd, MoonDancer, and Lady
Badria
In magick, colors represent certain energies,
goals, people and non-physical beings, such as deities
or spiritual forces. For this reason, you should include
candles, gemstones, cords and other objects of differing
colors in your magick rituals. Colors also often have
personal meanings for us. Anytime a person employs the
symbolism inherent in colors, they are in effect using
magick. Common examples of this can be found in such
phrases as "green with envy", "black with rage",
"feeling blue", "in the pink" and many more.
The particular
symbolism of any given color may vary widely from source
to source, and depending upon whether you are burning a
candle, knotting a cord, draping an altar or creating a
talisman. You will find that many books, such as
Buckland?s Practical Candle Burning, offer different
suggestions for colors when used in magick. In addition,
there are also colors for astrological signs and
planetary or elemental magick..
Some magickal systems use "flashing colors" -
those that are complimentary, such as red and green - to
create an optical illusion that appears to flash when
placed together. Such "flashing colors" are said to have
great power in attracting the corresponding magickal
forces. "Flashing colors" can be used in almost any type
of ritual or spell work where you will be using colors,
particularly when the visual aspect of the color is
important. The following is
only a guide. Experiment with magick and ritual and let
your feelings about it determine your color choices.

A Time For Magick!
~A Time for
Magick~ You can attune
the timing of your spells to phases of the Moon. Many
will tell you that spells done in the incorrect moon
phase could completely destroy your intent. The moon
does indeed have a heavy influence on what happens on
Gaea - and not just magickally. The moon calls the
tides, it distorts all light we receive from the stars,
it reflects the Sun's light as its own, it reflects the
image of the Earth back at
us.These are not
absolutely necessary, but they are definately helpful.
If you are not sure what phase the moon is in at any
given time, you can simply look it up in the newspaper
(most newspapers will give the moon phase in the weather
section), or you can simply visit this
website.The Four Moon
Phases The New Moon: It is when there is no
Moon in the sky. Spells for the New Moon can be
performed three days before and after the actual New
Moon. These spells symbolize changes in your
life. The Waxing Moon: It is when the Moon
is getting a bit larger in the sky. That period lasts
until three days before the Full Moon. Spells to be
performed during this time include positive change,
luck, love and growth.
The Full Moon: This is when
the Moon has reached its full capacity in the sky. This
is the perfect time for spells that increase psychic
abilities and fertility.
The Waning Moon: It is when
the Moon is decreasing in size. Now is the time to
perform spells that involve reversing spells, banishing
and releases.
Detailed Moon
Phases:New Moon:
Spans from the day of the New Moon until three days
after Health, gardening and farming, job hunting, love,
romance Crescent
Moon: Spans from three days after the New Moon until
the seventh day Change, emotions, animals, business
Waxing Moon: Spans from the seventh
day until the tenth day after the New Moon Motivation,
luck, courage, friends Gibbous
Moon: Spans from the tenth day until the thirteenth
day after the New Moon Patience Full Moon: Fourteen days after the New
Moon. Change, decisions, children, competition, dreams,
love, protection, money, self-improvement, healing
Disseminating Moon: Spans from the
third day after the Full Moon until the seventh
Addictions, health, divorce, stress, protection
Waning Moon: Spans from the seventh
day until the tenth day after the Full Moon Change,
obstacles, enemies, justice, quarrels, removal,
separation, stopping theft
Moon Astrological
Correspondences:The following
list is here to tell you what spells should be performed
during what astrological correspondence of the Moon.
Moon in Aries: authority, rebirth,
leadership, courage, confidence; healing of the face and
neck Moon in Taurus: love, money, romance,
acquisition; healing of the neck and throat Moon
in Gemini: communication, writing, freeing of mind
blocks, travel; healing of the arms, hands and lungs
Moon in Cancer: the home, honouring Gods and
Goddesses; healing of the stomach and chest Moon
in Leo: authority, courage, fertility, children;
healing of the upper back, spine and heart Moon
in Virgo: employment, health, success; healing of
the nervous system Moon in Libra: justice,
unions, balance, artistry; healing of kidneys and back
Moon in Scorpio: power, psychic growth, sex;
healing of the reproductive organs Moon in
Sagittarius: travel, sports, truth, honesty; healing
of the thighs and liver Moon in Capricorn:
organization, ambition, career, politics, direction;
healing of the teeth, skin, bones and knees Moon
in Aquarius: science, freedom, friendship,
addictions; healing of the calves, ankles and blood
Moon in Pisces: art, dreams, music, poetry;
healing of the feet
The Twelve Full Moons of the
Year:A Full Moon
occurs once every month, so we have twelve. If there is
ever a month that contains a second Full Moon, that Moon
is called a Blue Moon. So we have thirteen Moons. Listed
below are the twelve months of the year and their
specific Full Moons. This list will help you perform
spells and rituals at the right time. No longer should
words like 'Wolf Moon' be an unknown term to you in the
performance of a spell or ritual!
January: Wolf Moon February: Storm
Moon March: Chaste Moon April: Seed Moon
May: Hare Moon June: Dyad Moon July: Mead
Moon August: Wort Moon September: Barely Moon
October: Blood Moon November: Snow Moon
December: Oak Moon

You cannot write a spell if you rely on your
analytical and logical thinking.It would be better
if you try to receive any magical method from certain
sources. Some shamans ask the spirits about
certain spells,rituals and other magical
methods. Other use certain entities.I know several
people,who use information channels in the cosmic
energy field. If you are interested in moon
magic,then get connected with the moon energies and the
moon goddess (during any esbat) and ask what to do
to acheive any results.If you need fire,air,water or
earth magic,then get connected with the elements.If you
want to learn how to use your own powers and envelope
your own skills,then perform Congressus Cum Daimone
from Crowley's Liber Samekh and ask your
Daimon. Work in that way and the results of your
magical work will become really amazing  ). |

I would not say that "it would be better." If
you read
most of the spells out there, you will find
that they
call for a certain oil, stone, sigil, deity,
whomever. It
would be difficult to make effective use of
any such
spell if you did not know what you were using
does.
I'm not trying to get people to write
recipe-spells. I
do agree that you can't simply light this,
chant that,
and poof! your wishes come true. It requires
much
more from the spellcaster than
that.

~Once More With
Feeling~
Dracoid brings up
an excellent point. If you take a look at the New Age,
Witchcraft, or Occult section of any regular (not
specialty) bookstore, you'll probably find countless
books filled with nothing but spells promising this,
that, and the other thing. They are interested to read,
if you're a spellcrafting geek like I am, or you're
looking for inspiration. Though it may not be the
intention of the book's author, it does indeed seem that
people are trying to sell you recipe books.
As I said in the above post, magick is not
"light this, chant that, and poof! your wishes come
true!" It requires much more from the spellcaster than
this. In magick, you will find many phrases which say in
some form or another, "my will be done." It seems
innocent and simply enough: this is what I want, go get
it. Right? Sure, but not
quite.
What is your
will? How involved was your will in doing the spell?
Were you baking a cake, or co-creating a new reality
with the Divine? Some will say that getting your
emotions mixed up in your magick is the surest way to
disaster, others (like myself) would argue the
completely opposite. I believe that the more involved
you Mind (capital "M") is, the more effective your spell
will be.
~What is
Mind?~
Mind (capital
"M") is not just your thoughts. Your Mind includes your
thoughts, yes, but is also involves your emotions, your
memories, your beliefs, your ideas, your hopes ...
everything that you are. This even includes your body,
because your Mind and your body cannot exist here
without each other.
A Buddhist
analogy of Mind is that it is an ocean. Your thoughts
and your emotions are waves on the ocean. They rise up,
and the slip back in. They may be large like tsunami,
but even so, they will subside into the much larger (and
more potent) expanse that is Mind.
Mind is vast. It is dynamic, and like the
ocean, there is much more happening below the surface
than what we see. Godzilla himself could be marching up
the continental slope to lay waste to Tokyo, but you'd
never see it because that is all below the surface.
Magick, to the Mind, is how the Mind changes and in so
doing, affects everything around it. When the ocean
suddenly changes temperature, it alters the climate of
the globe in dramatic ways. When the ocean surges up, it
can devour entire islands.

Incantations, Mantras, and
Prayers
~Incantations, Mantras,
and Prayers~ The positive
effect of both mantras and prayers is
well documented. It seems that repeating a
mantra to yourself definately increases your chances
of the nature of your mantra of coming true.
Depending on the mantra or the prayer, they
can even be used to alleviate pain. Studies done
using MRIs show that when monks meditate on
compassion for all beings
(this can also be done through the chanting of
mantras and prayes), the parts of the
brain responsible for "good" feelings lights
up like Christmas, while the part of the brain
which generates "bad" feelings falls
asleep.Rhyming
incantations (notorious to fictional depictions
of magick) can work on the same level as
these if used in the same manner. Most people
recite incantations in ritual, and then once the
ritual is over they stop
reciting the incantation. There are some good
reasons for this (most of which involve
"forgetting" your work so that your conscious
mind can't screw up what you've set into
motion).However, the
recitation of rhyming incantations outside of ritual
can be of great benefit as well.Find or write an
incantation and try reciting it off and on for a
full day or two, and see how itaffects your mood
and your state of mind, as well as what
actually happens to you. The
resultswill speak for
themselves.

Spellcasting geek here to. I read up on anything
about spellcasting from ryming fluff bunny stuff to
difficult spell's that require specific objects, calling
on deity's, spirits or energies etc.
I also agree
with Rin here on the subject about emotion and how it
ties into magic. People believe that you shouldn't mix
the 2 but i believe it to be opposit. If you can harnass
your emotion, like many have learned to, it programs the
energy to manifest longer. How you ask, simply when you
do a spell you program the energy when sent to do your
bidding. It manifests later on. The time depends on the
ability of the practicioner and how long they want it to
manifest. IF while you are programming the energy or
visualizing the specific steps that will take place,
your goal, you really want the spell to work, you need
it to work, the energy now is programmed to work faster.
Adds the extra umph.
That is just my opinions,
keep on with the brillant
info.
Sincerely,
GM

Planetary Hours: the Method and the
Magick for Quick Timing Decisions
Planetary Hours: the Method and the
Magick for Quick Timing
Decisions
Success often depends on
being “in the right place at the right time.” How often
have you heard that said? Is it luck, or something more?
Obviously, having a tool to predict “the right time”
would give one an advantage. That thought was, and is,
most likely the major motivator for the continual
development of astrology through the ages.
Many
methods of astrological timing exist, and most of them
are quite technical—astrology is a complex field. One
method stands out as easy enough to be used by
non-technical types who’ve studied astrology only very
little. Planetary hours can be used by anyone with the
patience to learn to recognize seven planet symbols and
to understand basic interpretive meanings of each of
those seven planets. This article will introduce you the
method, and also to the “magick “ that I consider to be
a highly important ingredient for the most effective use
of any astrological technique for electing (choosing)
the appropriate timing for planned actions.
The
Method: One of the oldest methods of
choosing the most propitious time with astrology is the
symbolic system of planetary hours. Because this system
was developed many centuries before the invention of the
telescope, it uses only Sun, Moon and the five planets
that are visible to the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Mars,
Jupiter and Saturn. These seven planets, according to a
Chaldean order that arranges them from slowest to
fastest in motion, are said to rule the hours of the day
in a repeated sequence that is quite elegant in its
structure. Each day of the week is named for a planet.
The planet ruling the day also rules the sunrise hour
and then each hour the next planet in the Chaldean order
rules following in a repetitive sequence. The next day
will be the one that is named for the planet that, in
this repetitive sequence, has become that day’s sunrise
planetary hour. The simple elegance of this system can
best be seen in a spiral design.
Until the recent
revival of ancient methodology through translations of
historical texts, modern astrologers had neglected the
planetary hour system, possibly because it is symbolic
and thus deemed not as scientific as the actual daily
positions of the planets according to precise
astronomical calculation. Practitioners of magick,
however, continued to use planetary hours as they had
through the ages, both because using them is easy, and
because they work! Within the past few years, many
astrologers have rediscovered planetary hours and in
observing how they work, have found the method to be
well-worth reviving.
In using planetary hours, it
is important to realize that a planetary “day” is not
the same as our calendar days, nor does an hour
necessarily contain 60 minutes. Planetary days begin at
sunrise, so the hours between midnight and sunrise
belong to the previous day. In order to account for the
seasonal difference in length of daylight, the amount of
time in each hour is different in the day from the
night. Only at the equinoxes are hours about 60 minutes
each day and night. At Summer Solstice (the longest day
of the year) the daytime (diurnal) hours are much longer
than the nighttime (nocturnal) hours. At Winter Solstice
(the longest night of the year), the nocturnal hours are
much longer than the diurnal hours.
You can
figure the planetary hours out for yourself if you know
the sunrise and sunset times for your area. For diurnal
hours you figure the total amount of time between
sunrise and sunset and then divide by 12, to find out
how many minutes to assign to each planetary hour. For
nocturnal hours you figure total time from sunset to the
next sunrise and divide by 12. This method is slow,
though. Quick methods are easily available.
With
perpetual planetary hour tables such as are included in
my book A Time for Magick you can do a quick
look-up of the planetary hour for any day of any year in
any location. To interpolate the time in the tables to
be correct for the time zone in which you live, you need
only one simple + or – time correction for your
location. An extensive city list with time corrections
is also included in the book. The most useful and least
expensive computer option currently available for
planetary hours is Sundial Software by Arlene
Kramer, http://www.arlenekramer.com/. From
Sundial you can print out pages of daily listings
in the clock time for your time zone and
location.
The choice of which planetary hour will
be best for your planned action is a matter of knowing
which planet most favorably corresponds with your intent
for that action. Most of the text of A Time for
Magick is devoted to helping the reader understand
the energies of each of the planets through knowledge of
their traditional correspondences and also intuitively,
through meditation and ritual. Because intents can be
complex and each planet has many correspondences,
additional study beyond this article is highly
recommended. Still, many activities can be matched with
this simple summary:
Hour of the Sun: for career
success, employment, promotion, making presentations,
public speaking, improving social status, approaching
authority figures, improving health
Hour of the Moon: for doing
things that are likely to change or are not intended to
be permanent or binding, for increased intuition or
imagination, for all domestic activities
Hour of Mercury: for
abstract thinking, mental alertness, speaking, signing
papers, sending significant mail, fixing computer
problems, or in general, for any activity related to
communication, provided you are in the frame of mind to
be logical and rational. (Mercury can be a trickster
when you are mentally fogged or emotionally upset.
Hour of
Venus: for social occasions, love, courtship,
marriage, improving appearance, for financial
investments, to reconcile after a disagreement, to
mediate a dispute, to achieve calm after stress, to work
for peace
Hour of
Mars: good for activities that require
muscular exertion, boldness, courage and active
enterprise, when your feelings are in check. Caution is
needed if you are angry or stressed, and especially if a
relationship is involved, for Mars can be
confrontational.
Hour
of Jupiter: for success in just about any
activity you can imagine and for beginning anything
important. The only downside would be where a tendency
to over-indulgence or excess is a factor.
Hour of
Saturn: for getting organized, plowing
through tedious work, breaking unwanted habits,
accepting and dealing with responsibilities, and for
contemplation or meditation especially if you find
yourself feeling tired and needing a respite from
activity
I’ve found it interesting to have a
planetary hour listing at hand while silently observing
a group activity, and you might try that, too, in order
to get a feeling of how moods can change with the hours.
For example, I remember observing a meeting where during
the Moon hour the debate over issues went ‘round and
‘round with many feelings expressed but no resolution.
Just when the hour changed to Saturn, the mood became
quite serious. The group got down to business and
decisions on several issues were resolved. Then, the
lunch break was announced and everyone got up and began
chatting happily. I looked at my planetary hour list and
sure enough, the hour had just changed to
Jupiter.
Here are a few examples of how planetary
hours might be used in daily
planning:
Schedule an appointment with your doctor
for the hour of Sun. Plan a dinner party in the
hour of Moon. Try out a new recipe. Install and
learn a new computer program in the hour of
Mercury. Schedule an appointment for a new
hairstyle for the hour of Venus. Do your daily
exercise workout in the hour of Mars. Call a friend
or business associate to ask for a favor during the
hour of Jupiter. Clear your desk of that piled up
paperwork during the hour of Saturn. Get it
done! Ask your boss for a raise in the hour of the
Sun. Shop for ideas for redecorating your home
during the hour of the Moon. Send an important
piece of mail in the hour of Mercury. Meet with a
friend in the hour of Venus to reconcile a
disagreement between you. Tackle that heavy
clean-up job in the hour of Mars. Open a new
business or launch a new enterprise within your
business in the hour of Jupiter. Consult with an
elder about how best to resolve a problem in the hour
of Saturn.
A Personal Anecdote of Planning
Actions with Planetary Hours In order to
demonstrate how one can work with the planetary hours
and other transits, I’ll tell you about a workshop I
conducted a year ago at an astrological conference. It
was at a time when I’ll bet that some people, having
looked at their own transits, as I did, might have
wondered if staying home might be a wise move. It was
less than two months past Sept. 11, and I was to fly to
Toronto on a Full Moon Thursday evening, and then on
Friday afternoon I was to do my three-hour workshop on
astrological timing and ritual. The much talked about
Saturn-Pluto opposition was exact on the day of my
workshop, and the degrees in which it was exact put
Pluto precisely on my Ascendant and Saturn on the
Descendant. Jupiter was stationary retrograde and the
Moon was void of course when my workshop was to begin.
In the string of Moon aspects following her entrance
into Gemini a little over an hour into my workshop time,
she would conjunct Saturn and oppose Pluto. If all that
astro-jargon evades any readers, let’s just say that if
I’d been allowed to freely choose my time to do this
workshop, this time would not have been it! But…if I’d
attempted to duck that time, I’d be denying important
points I’d fully intended to make in that workshop—and
intend to make again within this article in “The Magick”
section to follow. Obviously “walking my talk” meant
accepting the challenge to work well within whatever
time I was assigned. I planned my workshop to use the
planetary themes of the three-hour period in which it
was scheduled, including a ritual design based on the
Moon as mediator between the clashing Saturn and Pluto,
The workshop began in the hour of the Moon and
would change to the hour of Saturn less than a half hour
later. The Jupiter hour would take the greater portion
of the middle hour, and the final hour of the workshop
would be Mars. I began with a general introduction to
easy timing techniques, with a major focus on the lunar
phases. I announced to the group when the Saturn hour
was beginning, saying that we’d use its theme at its
best to cover the technicalities of the planetary hour
system in a disciplined manner. I used an overhead and
transparencies to demonstrate the use of the tables and
the time corrections for Toronto. With the Jupiter hour
I introduced the value of ritual and magick for the
intuitive understanding of the planets and for helping
to focus the mind toward desired goals. I asked for
volunteers to take various parts within the ritual, gave
the two key players, Saturn and Pluto, a little skit for
their part, and called a 10-minute break to set up. Only
a few of the class had any previous experience with
ritual and because of this, I knew some would be
uncomfortable with it, so I let everyone know that their
choice to participate or watch was entirely voluntary
and fine with me either way. As it turned out, I was
extremely fortunate in my two main volunteers, for both
had a wonderful flair for improvised dramatic effect and
they made terrific use of the break time to talk over
how they’d do the skit.
The ritual began with
somewhat over half the class gathered in a circle around
a center table and the rest remaining in their chairs to
watch. I led them through a simple casting of the
circle, followed by four volunteers who called the four
elements (air, fire, water, earth) to the cardinal
points. After invoking the Goddess Moon and the two Dark
Lords Saturn and Pluto, the fun began, with a skit that
was both very meaningful and also entertaining as my two
Dark Lords squared off to the point of pushing each
other around as they argued their points about the
necessity to tear down and transform old structures and
rebuild newer and better ones. By the time I, as Moon,
had interceded, and Pluto began to pass out small black
stones in which participants could will those old habits
and structures they wished to banish, everyone in the
room was ready to participate and all did. I collected
the stones to return to Earth Mother, and then Saturn
passed out cords for knot magick. The intent and action
of that was for each person to make one or more
commitments to positive and responsible future action
(building anew). The act of tying a knot firmly into the
cord would be to bind oneself to carry out the
commitment. Now into the Mars hour, we raised energy to
charge the magick with a spirited chant, after which
each person was invited to choose three little paper
stars I’d scattered on the center table face down. The
stars were of three different colors, one of which
carried a symbol for one of the planets, another the
number of a house and the third color, a symbol for one
of the zodiac signs. Since all participants were
astrologers, they could easily interpret the three stars
they drew for a personal message.
The workshop
concluded with the sharing of experiences within the
ritual, and questions and answers centering mostly on
the use of magick and ritual. All in all, it was a good
experience for me and appeared to be for the
participants. I experience absolutely no “downside”
Saturn-Pluto events during this time, despite the exact
transits of the two to my own chart. I like to believe
that this was one of a number of personal examples I’ve
given myself that if I deliberately choose to “do” my
transits in a positive manner, more often than not,
positive manifestation prevails.
The Magick Nearly
always, after an event has passed, a clear and
appropriate correspondence of the event to astrological
phenomena can be demonstrated. Looking ahead is far less
exact. Why is that? Primarily because nothing in
astrology can be interpreted in only one way, at least
not in any detail. Each planet or planetary
configuration has a general theme, but within that theme
there are multiple potentials with wide range from
“good” to “bad,” depending on one’s point of view.
Obviously, picking the “right” planetary time is not
enough. Your intent and your will to carry out that
intent are not just equally as important, but more so.
A common phrase you’ve probably often heard is
“thoughts are things,” referring to the observation that
if one thinks strongly enough about something, the
thought often becomes reality. This can happen
naturally, when one wishes or fears so strongly that,
for good or ill, what is wished for or feared becomes a
“self-fulfilling prophecy”—and from that has emerged
another phrase you’ve probably heard: “Be careful what
you wish for, because you may be so unfortunate as to
receive it.” Some might prefer to call the act of
strongly and deliberately focusing the mind to achieve a
desired purpose “creative visualization” or “mind
control.” I prefer to call this “magick.” Whatever you
choose to call it, the point is this: focused intent can
effect desired change within one’s consciousness, and
when change occurs within, change in one’s outer world
occurs, as well.
Magick is a good one-word
definition for an attitude and a belief that the primary
power to direct one’s future flows from within. The “k”
differentiates the practice from the stage magic of
sleight-of-hand or the experience of sparkly feelings
without focused intent. The practitioner of magick knows
that all is energy, and with a keenly focused mind and
spirit energy can be moved such that will, intent and
purpose becomes manifest in reality. Within astrological
language specifically, effective use of magick depends
on your attitude in believing that one’s power comes not
from the planets, but from within.
Electional
Astrology (the specific branch of astrology for choosing
the most propitious time in advance of an action) has
been called the closest astrological methodology comes
to magick. To make that true, it is essential to
understand that a very big part of deciding what time
will, in fact, be propitious (have a favorable
correspondence with intended action), is dependent upon
the astrological interpretation attached to the time
chosen, and that can vary widely. Each planet has a
unique general theme of expression, but within that are
many possible interpretations, some of which could be
“bad” for what you want, others good and others varying
in shades in between. In electing a planetary hour, it
is important to be very clear that you are also electing
(choosing) your interpretation of the planet! Since you
are doing the choosing, it seems only common sense to do
so with the focused intent and belief that you can and
will carry out the proposed action according to your
chosen interpretation of the planetary hour in which you
will begin that action. Magick can be done with the mind
alone, but often ceremony in a meditative state of mind,
including the use of tools of ritual that appeal to all
the senses, will greatly aid focus, as well as enhance
your ability to intuitively understand the planetary
energies. A Time for Magick offers specific meditation
exercises and ritual designs for each of the planets.
Try planetary hours! Among astrological
techniques, this one lends itself best to the times when
a quick timing decision must be made with no time to do
more complex astrological computations, even if you know
how. For those who do take the time to consult an
astrological calendar for timing decisions, or to do
complete election charts, it is well worthwhile to
consider the planetary hour, too. Choose the planetary
hour that best fits your intended action and take that
action with the commitment, the will, the focus and the
faith of magick. My view is this: if electional
astrology is not being used with magical intent, it
ought to be!

The Solar Arch
~Dawn~
Dawn, the Rising Sun rules the East because
this is the direction of the greatest light, and the
light of wisdom and consciousness. It is the time of the
intellect; the realm of thought, which is the first step
toward creation. Magickally speaking, the Dawn is the
clear, uncluttered, pure visualization, which is a
powerful tool for change. It also governs the magick of
the four winds, most divinations, concentration and
visualization magic. The Dawn rules spells and rituals involving
travel, instruction, freedom, obtaining knowledge,
discovering lost items, uncovering lies, concentration,
the ability to "know" and to understand; to unlock
secrets of the dead; to contact the angels; telepathy;
memory and wisdom; prophecy; Karma and speed. It can
also be used to develop psychic
faculties.
________________________________________
~Zenith~
The Zenith Sun rules the South. This is the
place of greatest heat, the color red and the season of
Summer. It is the Sun of change, will and passion. In a
sense it contains within it all forms of magic, since
magic is a process of change. The results of
Zenith-Solar magick manifest quickly and spectacularly.
This is the realm of sexuality and passion. It is not
only the ‘sacred fire’ of sex, but it is also the spark
of divinity, which shines within us and in all living
things.
It is at once the most spiritual of the Suns.
The Zenith Sun's magickal rituals usually involve
energy, authority, sex, healing, destruction (of
negative habits or disease), purification, courage, the
will to dare, creativity, higher self, success and
refinement, the Arts, transformation, loyalty and force,
evolution and so on. All candle magick comes under the
fire of the Zenith Sun’s powers.
________________________________________
~Twilight~
Twilight rules the West. Autumn months of the
year, when rain showers wash the Earth. Twilight is the
Sun of purification, the subconscious mind, love and the
emotions, intuition, the inner self, the power to dare
and cleanse all things, sympathy, reflection, currents
and tides of life, dreams and dreamtime. Just as water
is fluid, constantly changing, flowing from one level to
another, so too are our emotions in a constant state of
flux.
Twilight is the Sun of absorption and
germination. The subconscious is symbolized by this Sun
because it is always moving, like the sea, obscured by
the horizon and hiding much of itself beyond the sights
of the conscious mind. Twilight-Solar magick involves
pleasure, friendship, marriage, fertility, happiness,
healing, sleep, dreaming, psychic acts, purification,
and so on.
________________________________________
~Night~
Night rules the North. This is the place of
greatest darkness and of winter. The Night Sun is
stable, solid, dependable. It is the base or foundation
of the Suns. In magickal workings the Night Sun ‘rules’
all spells and rituals involving business, money,
employment, prosperity in all its forms, stability,
fertility. Banishing, binding, and
destroying.
Mystery and growth, fertility, material
abundance, the combined forces of nature and its bounty;
birth and healing; business; industry and possessions;
conservation and nature.
________________________________________
~Eclipse~
Solar Eclipses are dramatic moments both for
their observers as well as for magicians. In the past,
magicians were urged not to perform magick during
eclipses. Today, many natural magicians use the
suggestive power of an eclipse to fuel spells involving
banishments, including the destruction of disease. These
have been some timing suggestions. Let them be guides,
not shackles! During an eclipse, Luna veils the face of
the Sun and a crown of shining light surrounds her. The
perfect order and balance shines down upon Creation,
demonstrating the harmony of all things.

Some
will say that getting your emotions mixed up in
your magick is the surest way to disaster, others
(like myself) would argue the completely
opposite.
| I don't mean to backtrack, but I want to say
something more about this. I write, so I find it's impossible to cause
any sort of change unless I invoke whatever emotions
correspond to the subject of my writing. For example, if
I write to change something about myself that bothers
me, I'll get extremely angry and depressed. At times,
it's very difficult to endure, but it's a must if I'm
determined.For me,
emotions are fuel. I like to think of this in terms of
cannons: your will is the cannon, your intent is the
cannon ball, your emotions are the gun powder, and your
idea is the target. Basically, the more gun powder you
use, the more damage the cannonball will do. However,
the better the cannon, the greater the accuracy. (Also
keep in mind that imperfect cannonballs never fly
perfectly straight.)Be that as it may, cannons aren't
computers: you can't simply press a button, walk away,
and expect results to fall into your lap. You
have to load the cannon, you have to push it
forward, you have to aim it at the target, and
you have to light the fuse. Then, and only then,
do you walk away. And even then, you shouldn't expect
results to fall into your lap. I realize this may seem a little
cryptic to some, but unless you understand that
you are something more than a combination
of your ideas, emotions, intent, and will, you will
never obtain results.
In other words, you have
to become the cannon.

The
basic thing about the magic and spells is,that we are
mediums,we channel power,that comes from the
Universe.
As I said,You
need to establish connection with specific information
channels-NOT IN THE BOOKS.There are
many such channels in the nature and cosmos.There are
teachers from the higher
planes and other entities,who can teach you about spells
and magic.
And no,I
cannot agree,that magic is not
chants,candles,oils,incenses etc(I will
agree,however, that there are
other ways to perform magic).This is,as some friends
have said-interface.This is
specific energy sheme.If it is ordered
correctly,you will get what you want.
One
example.You need healing.Your intuition says,that you
need fire spell.Light a candle
and establish connection with the Fire
Element.Ask for healing spell.You will get a vision.For
first,you will see the
right energy structure,energy project.After that you
will see the ritual,that will
construct it.You may see
an altar with herbs,stones etc,ORDERED in
specific way.You will be taught
what chants,dances,acts to perform.You may see
sigils,pictures etc.
Write
everything.Then prepare for the ritual/spell and do
it.
I started to
work in that way and I get amazing results from my
magical work.I understood,that every
moment,every case is unique and demands specific energy
project.So,one spell or one ritual is
specific for the moment and will work maybe only
once.Next time,when it seems,that you have the
same problem,you may think,that you can use the same
ritual to solve it.But you will be
wrong,maybe.That's why you need to ask again for another
spell solution-if it demands magical
solution,of course.
So,learn to
work in that way and you will have success with the
magic.Ask the Elements,ask the
Angels,Demons,ask the Earth,ask the Moon and the
Gods...ask the Universe for
magical knowledges.In
the Cosmic Library there are tons of magical
knowledge.Ask,and you will get answer.
You may ask
your Higher Self for magic too.Use the ritual Congressus
Cum Daimonae from Liber Samekh of
Crowley.
Of course,to
be able to channel information,you need to envelope your
psychic skills,you need to envelope
your extrasensory perception,telepathy and
clairvoyance.They are basical for
the occult work.Here you may find help from
the books and other people. |
