Awhile ago (4 Years ago) I was really into Magick...no specific kind, but I was wanting immediate power. I'm sure its what a lot of people my age did...just experiment and get power from doing it. One of my friends' grandmother was really into it, and me and her friend would give each other different "spells" we could do carelessly.

However, as I am now 4 more years older, I am also realizing how dangerous it could have been, and also that there is a lot more to it than just saying some words and having something happen. For the past month I have been finding great sources online for dealing with personal energy. I've been spending this month trying to get to feel my own, but so far no luck. As for right now, I just want to work with my energy. I want to be able to call on it when I want it, to store it in objects, and be able to cast it out.

I am coming here to find out good exercises to be able to feel my own energy and begin practicing to move it about. I can visualize, but when I do...I never actually feel anything.

So, if anybody has posted in some threads in which deal with this, I would greatly appreaciate it if you were to share them with me.

I look forward to spending time on this forum learning as much as I can.

Also, I would like to mention that besides being able to control and feel my own energy, I was also becoming interested in the concept of evocation. I see there is a forum designated for evocation, but if anybody could explain the actual purpose of evocation of spirits is, that would be great.

Greetings Wolf of Fire!
Welcome to the Forums! You'll find any number of sources refering to evocation here. First though, you should really concentrate on the basics of meditation and breathing before graduating to invocation and then evocation...IMHO! LOL! I'm sure that there are many opinions and methods here, so keep an open mind and sponge up some of our members excellent thoughts! Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Greetings Wolf of Fire,

Welcome to Sacred Magick. I hope that you find what you are looking for.

Peace!

Thank you very much. I was planning on becoming much better at meditation and the like. I figured a good way to be able to increase my concentration, meditation, and determination would be to practice astral projection. I have never done it and remembered it, so I do not know if it is true or not. I would like to think it is, but I asked myself...why not just try and go for it? Im getting some books on the topic. If I can get it down, I think that to be able to meet those who are in the astral plane for help, and that can increase my knowledge.

I'll be heading to the OBE forum now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Evocation is calling forth spirits to come to you (outside of your body) so that you can ask something of them (knowledge, money, information, the removal of an annoyance, a car, ect) as opposed to invocation which is the calling of something/force into your body to /lendgive you strength/energy that is for used during a ritual (like calling a godform into you so you can do a rite better; example would be calling anubis when doing a death spell to get rid of your chances of not getting a car).

Also, try and balance out the practice of meditation and breathing excercises with evocation and other spells. Doing them constantly helps on both sides 'cus, no offence, but being able to meditate and control your energy is good, but learning by experience by doing rituals/spells is good too.

I hope you have a great time here and good luck with your training!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)
