Increasing Libido With Magick, Any ideas on ways in which this can be done? Options

I hope this is the right forum to post this...

So I've had problems with a low libido for a good few months now - I suspect it's because of the birth control pill, although I have been off it for a while now so I don't know whether it's just the lingering effects of the pill now or whether the cause is psychological. Anyway it's quite a hassle, since I used to have a very high sex drive, and it's putting strain on my relationship with my boyfriend (a relationship which is otherwise very good).

Lately I've been looking at magickal methods to increase libido, but I'm not quite sure how to go about it. I did do an invocation of Freya a few weeks ago, and even though I'm not too experienced with the whole invocation thing and I wasn't really sure if I was actually doing it right, it did have quite a positive effect on my libido. I'd like to try other things too though, just to get my sex drive back to how it was before. I've tried different herbs, namely ginkgo biloba, damiana, muira puama and ginseng. Haven't had much of an effect. I'm wondering - when using herbs , will they work better if they are somehow 'charged' with magickal energy? I recall reading something about this somewhere. If so, how would this be done?

Basically, I'm just looking for advice on different ways in which libido can be increased by magickal means. I also appreciate hearing from people with similar experiences or personal opinions on this!

Greetings 'cassiopeia',

That is one of the oldest relationship problems known to man. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/banana.gif)

The 28th Name of Marduk SirSir is good for this and for Tantra. Draw the seal upside down over your navel and say his word of calling.

Unrelated to magick my wife takes Estrovan which can be bought at any drug store to increase hormones. Women take it after menopause. But it makes for better hormones or something in pre-menopause women. I might have my information a little bit screwed up here but at any rate it should help.

Peace!

Thanks for that! I tried googling for information on the 28th name of Marduk but I found no information related to libido... Unless I'm just not really understanding the following properly:

(28) SIR. SIR,"" who heaped up a mountain over her, Tiamat,

Who the corpse of Tiamat carried off with his weapon; Who directs the land-their faithful shepherd; Whose hair is a grain field, his horned cap furrows;
Who the wide-spreading Sea vaults in his wrath, Crossing (her) like a bridge at the place of single combat.

If you don't mind, could you elaborate a little bit on how this works?

Although I think the invocation of Freya might have had a bigger effect than I thought it did... It just took a while for the results to come..

Menapause sucks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/badmood.gif) LOL

Prempro HAS made a huge difference, but
the side effects.. oh man, not good!

Im considering Estrovan, or even Mango Butter
to help with the night "perspirations" and
"power surges". Those get real old, real fast.

FRom the spellbook.
28.The Twenty-Eighth Name is SIRSIR.
The Destroyer of TIAMAT, hated of the Ancient Ones, Master over the Serpent, Foe of KUTULU. A most powerful Lord. His Word is APIRIKUBABADAZUZUKANPA.
A secret application of this Spirit concerns celibacy and the harnessing of the sexual urge for greater magickal power, as is done in some Western and Eastern occult traditions.

This spirit can be used for a wide range of sexual practices. I am going to be shy and not elaborate. But just call the spirit. Trust me it will work!

Another idea is to tie three knots in a short cord at the new moon, reciting a suitable verse before sealing eack knot to increase your sex drive/libido, then sleep with it under your pillow and carry it for 28 days. Repeat if necessary as often as you like.
Works for most people, but not much for others.
I had to do this once in my mid-20's as I had a very sexually demanding girlfriend; but the truth was I wouldn't have needed it at all if she'd been my type and if I'd have fancied her; which to be frank, I didn't!

I've heard that magick itself increases libido. All of the suggestions before are good ideas, though. Also, you could try a certain massage technique.

Have your boyfriend massage in small circles on your spine and progress slowly up the spine. This motion causes the glands that make endorphines to fire and cause arousal and a pleasing sensation.

edupanna knows his stuff

The key to beginning to harness magick is breath. The key to beginning to harness sex is breath. The second stage to beginning to harness magick is through sensation. The second stage to beginning to harness sex is through sensation. Sometimes your mind and your genitals are a little slow compared to other parts of you. Start with breathing as you would when you are enjoying sex. After a while (not that you should do this for a sustained period the first time) if you practice sexual breathing when u have a spare moment your body will start to be reminded of sex in a positive way. The second step is through sensation. I can only recommend that for this you follow helmut's advice and start with massage. It is a great way to get your body in the mood to be touched. It doesn't have to be sexual at all at first. Often people who suffer from libido problems find that in reality their libido is fine, their just so out of the habit of being physically and mentally stimulated in a sexual manner, that it takes their body a little bit of gentle reminding. Start with breathing and touching. You dont have to have sex the first or the second or the third time. Eventually though i suspect, you wont be able to help yourself.
