Great post Vagrant! I've been considering making a kind of 'object to enhance the power of a spirit' and you explained it fantastically, fetish's are an area i think i will explore.
Ethereal sight; I know what your getting at, the actual energy work to enchantment is tricky to describe and it's rare to see in books. i will tell you what i usualy do.
first of all i have a good stare at the object, get to know its aura, the different fields around it etc. I usually sense a small but dense field around the object, maybe another one slightly bigger over that one and a more distant one about 3-4" around that one. It all depends on the object. The fundamental intent to the object doesn't necessarily have to be 'high powered' just send it energy with your hands an eye as you concentrate on your intent into the object. Move your gaze to the smaller fields and inoculate it with the intent of altering and empowering your initial intent (kind of a 'make that bundle of intent work' energy or 'creator' energy) then i would stare a bit beyond the edge of the outer field, feeling the energy of what i just did within the more distant field and empower that bubble with energy from my hands. With that bit set up i would then return my gaze to the object. At this point i would say that the actual initial intent is still malleable, so when you get into the next trance you can add and adjust things according to your intuition etc, hold your solid expressions of intent in your mind as it's energy's are employed to where they are needed. the energy's around the object are designed to polish up what you do an enhance your stream of intent, they are also their to protect and solidify the final product, like an eggshell. When gazing at the object itself, pour into it your consciousness of the over-all intent, take it to a different level, broaden your perspective while narrowing your concentration. At this point it's not uncommon for the object to seemingly glaze over black as the energy's of the object start to solidify and your gaze is being totally immersed in the embryonic fields. This often shifts on and off for a period as your gaze empowers (or merges consciousness with) the different fields of intent. At this point i get quite tired, so i usually stop work for a minute make a cup of tea roll a fag and meditate on it from a distance so as to set a pattern of how it energetically interacts with the you an the world, experiment with its intensity, hold it, give it means to do its work
That's my little routine simplified, i dare say everyone's got a variant, i never learned it from a book.
Make magic to make making magic more intuitive.
