...and working towards its resurrection.

For those of you who are keeping an eye on my blog courtesy of the trouble

had by EvocationMagic over the past few months, it should be said that I am

working very closely with an awesome team of folks to resurrect said forum.

Philodox is leading the charge, with myself and various others assisting where

able, and we do feel as though we are getting close to success.

With that in mind, Provenant has been so kind as to create a Facebook page

titled "EvocationMagic Diaspora

(https://www.facebook.com/groups/EM.Diaspora/)" for related discussions,

keeping up to date on the particulars, etc. If you're interested, login to

Facebook and look 'em up.

Aside from that, when anything particularly important arises for EM 2.0, I will

be posting about it here so that interested folks can stay updated.

Take care,

SE

Warnings from Spirits (/sorcery-blog/warnings-

from-spirits)

As you can imagine, in my line of work, I spend a

great deal of time observing all manners of

behaviors. I see everything from the best folks

have to offer to the worst, both in dealing with

spirits and human beings. In truth, though our

language and respective cultures vary, we're not

all that different.

In truth, successful magic is frequently about

understanding someone or something else's

language, symbolism, cultural values, etc. A

spirit doesn't say things the way you or I do. Elemental spirits have names, but

they aren't ones that we can pronounce because we can't successfully mimic

the sounds of the Earth.

We eventually learn to come to a place of compromise with these entities we

work with, work for, serve, or remember. We come up with a language that

works for both parties and then set to the task of successfully interacting with

them.

I mention this to illustrate the fact that working with discarnate or non-corporeal

can often be a lot of guesswork. When you get to know these entities, it no

longer is, but until then they'll give you messages in dreams, random thoughts

and instincts, images in your head, or strong feelings that you can't shake.

When you've earned a spirit's favor, most times they have great interest in your

safety. You're their friend and visa versa, so like any good friend (or other such

socially intimate role), they take it upon themselves to inform you whensomething's amiss. When that happens and you have dreams that aren't par

for the course or you feel things that you can't explain, be sure to pay

attention. I can't tell you how many times a well-timed warning has saved my

bacon.

I've avoided many car wrecks, unstable clients, accidents with handguns or

machinery, and other such unpleasant occurrences on account of such

notifications. They've seemed a bit nuts at points, but heading those warnings

does tend to be beneficial.

That being the case, my recommendation is to listen when your familiars, etc.pop up and give you a heads up on what's going on. They're usually doing it for

your health.

This brings me to the final point of this post: a working one can do to better

connect with their Powers, their spiritual allies, for the sake of personal growth,

etc.

Firstly, you start with a general offering to whatever strikes you as the image of

your highest & best. Focus on that image and emotion you feel when you think

about this symbol of raw achievement, then offer up a heartfelt prayer for its

betterment and happiness, like so:

"Spirit of Self

He with feet in both worlds

Emanating from all directionsI pray that you attain

That which I seek

For the betterment of oneself and all"

Note: Unselfishness seems to be key here. Replace "he" with "she" if you're a

woman or make up your own prayer.

Once done, light a candle for this entity and begin to focus on the sigil below,

feeling that essence rush into you and fill you up. You may see other images,

hear things, or otherwise be influenced...that is both OK and totally normal.

Augery & its Pitfalls (/sorcery-blog/augery-its-

pitfalls)

Augery, or divination as its colloquially known, is

a practice with deep roots & ancient origins. In

our pop culture, most everyone is aware of some

form thereof, be it Tarot, Runes, Psephoi,

Geomancy, I Ching, Khat al-Raml, or Palm

Reading.

The trouble is that, in my experience, there is

very little discussion that goes into the dangers

of various forms of augery. Those that do are

typically looked at from an uber-religious "thar-

be-demons!" perspective which is altogether

unhelpful. My intention here, is to throw a few

ideas out there to get folks thinking on this

subject.

Before the alarmists get started in, I should note that I have yet to see

someone be possessed on account of sortilege. I've ne'er had to exorcise an

unwitting victim on account of them having thrown some bones whilst

attempting to discern the future.

I have, however, been forced to involve myself when folks have screwed thingsup for themselves by acting on incorrect information and, worse yet , have dealt

emotional on account of what they've seen. Some individuals aren't aware of

just how their strong feelings influence the world around them, and these are

the problem children when it comes to divination.

They are troublesome they have the ability to do magical things, but

cannot control themselves. Instead, they unconsciously react to knee-jerk

inspirations and cause situations to worsen or become nigh untenable. They

either take the information to heart and start acting out in the physical realm,

or they become so damned fixated upon the negative aspects of a situation

that they reach out, metaphysically, and wonkily turn the Dharma Wheel, so to

speak. In doing so, workings can be jilted off-course and the scene can spin

out of control.

We often perceive what we want to see or otherwise feel the need to see, and

this can be great....it can also be really negative, as we create our realities

with our self-chatter. That internal push to be [x], do [y ]. or react to [z] can

either help us or get us into a great deal of trouble.

We revert to what we're comfortable with as a point of fact, yet give relativelylittle thought to how that affects us or the situations around us. This is

strangely pertinent in divination for two reasons:

1) We will usually see what we want to see.

2) We often take action on what we want to see, and that's not always good or

valid information.

Dealing with #1 is relatively easy, and #2 depends on how we deal with the

former. When getting started with divinatory work, I recommend being highly

suspicious of anything that confirms your thoughts on the matter at hand; Iwould recommend going as far as to have your readings checked by someone

you trust until you get the hang of your mind's inner workings and feel that you

can accurately use cleromancy to your benefit.

It helps to stay entirely neutral and to go into the reading with purpose, but

without agenda. If your intention is to learn of the best way to handle a

situation in a way that is beneficial to you and you've suspended pointed

desire, you're generally able to get t rue information that's worth reacting on.

This then renders both sticking points, mentioned above, as relatively moot.

#2 is harder to deal with because we are very good at deceiving ourselves.

Worse yet, when we get something that confirms our bias, it

excites/saddens/elevates/deflates us, and so being resolved to read the truth is

necessary.

The advice I use, in short, is to stay neutral and view Tarot as entertainment TV

until the result is in. Augery should be treated with respect, and so too should

those who provide such a service. Keep an open mind with your readings, as

the information can surprise you from time to time. That has to be ok, as itsbetter to get correct information that bothers you than it is to get wrong

information that causes problems.

This is why I do sorcery... (/sorcery-blog/this-is-

why-i-do-sorcery)

I received some lovely feedback from a client today, and it got me thinking

about why I do sorcery. Sure, I have fun with it and find it to be utterly

fascinating, but the reality is that I engage in sorcery to touch lives, get them

back on course, and create awesome things for other people.

This is the message I got, in its unadulterated form:

"To give credit where credit is due, and discredit where

that is due, until I dropped that dead weight who shall

remain nameless, and you performed your healing, I

simply didn't have the motivation or energy to go to thegym and kept finding excuses, even though there's one

just around the corner and I have a membership.

The one time I went, I couldn't walk for a week.

I've got much more of a spring in my step today, and to

quote james brown, I feel good :-)"

That vibe is contagious - to cause folks to go from being utterly run down to

feeling like they're on the top of the world is , and that word doesn'tuplifting

Magical Grids (/sorcery-blog/magical-grids)

I've realized I've been a bit lax in sharing pertinentideas and practices here, over the past few

months, so I thought it time to post a bit. With

that in mind, I've been contemplating &

experimenting with the idea of using magical grids,

mandalas, and so forth when doing work for quite

some time now. The idea first struck me many

years ago, and I lazily pursued it at the time, only

to have my interest rekindled by Gordon over at

Rune Soup when he talked about Sigil Shoaling

(http://runesoup.com/2010/06/shoaling-making-sigil-magic-more-awesome-

since-2010/). This pattern of pursuing the idea, then losing sight of it, then

pursuing it again has repeated on and on for many years now, and so I am

making a conscious effort to put it into practice once again.

As I do so, I am finding that several things happen. Firstly , the vibrational feel

of the working picks up considerably. Secondly, this causes results to

manifest more quickly. And thirdly, it just feels right; something clicks into

place and suddenly the individual workings that felt very much alive to start

rapidly develops palpable depth and breadth. The workings begin to dance witheach other, develop their own music, and then go on to live as if they're

villagers that have shuffled out into the world.

Incidentally, since I started doing this, I now get asked if I'm a musician every

other day or so. I love and adore music, but lack the aptitude to create it

outside of the creation of sung or whispered charms and such.

Getting back to it, grids, as I'll call them here, can be crafted and shaped in

any number of ways with whatever materials you so choose. You can use

numerology, sacred geometry, aesthetic balance, elemental associations,

astrological meanings, tarot cards, playing cards, bones, runes, psephoi,colors, and so on and so forth until you've built up a truly impressive and

massive magical grid (how's that for a tongue twister, eh?).


13/28

Above is one such grid that I use in my home alongside other workings. When

inclined to do so, I often elect to branch out from what you see above and

connect this grid to smaller gridded workings like you see below.


14/28

The possibilities, potentialities, and arrangements are pretty much limitless in

theory. In reality, they are limited by space and materials. In my case, I limit

the size of the workings to 2 altar tops' worth for the sake of not making too

much of a mess. :)

When setting up such a system, its useful to take the intention, available

materials, and available space into account. Don't go above and beyond what

you can feasibly control, lest it bite you on the rear end at a later date.

I suggest starting small, first by considering the numerical value you want to

utilize. I am partial to letter-based systems of divination a la psephoi (aka the

Greek Alphabet Oracle) and the runic Futharks, planetary, and elemental

magic, so I tend to arrange grids around those ideas.

If I were to make a fire-related grid for spiritual illumination, I would utilize the

numbers 3 and 7, as they strike me as being active and relatively fiery in

nature. I'd utilize 7 different types of materials, be they sigils

, oils

, vegetebilia

mineralia

, candles , charms

, animalia

, uttered or written

prayers, energy work, and so forth. I tend to use whatever is available to me -

(Fire symbols

from various books, the tattva for fire, picture of a salamander) (Fire

From Heaven, Bend Over, Commanding) (Cinquefoil, ash,

Blessed Thist le, Devi l's Claw) (obsidian, glass, tempered metal , or

fire agate) (red, orange, jet blue) (against Evil Eye, dragon

pendant, all seeing eye) (lawfully and humanely harvested bones,

sinew, misc. viscera from salamanders, geckos, fire-bellied toads, coyotes,rattlesnakes, vultures, scorpions, mountain lions)


15/28

you may or may not have certain limitat ions, so use whatever you're

comfortable with.

Were I to utilize Lunar magic, I'd do the same thing with the numbers 5 and 8.

For Jupiter work, I'd use 4 and 7, and so on and so forth, mixing and matching

to my heart's content.

With any luck, this post will have provided you with plenty of ideas for magical

workings that you could do in the future.

Enjoy your Saturday, folks!

Starting May off Right! (/sorcery-blog/starting-

may-off-right)

Last month was a doozy for most of the folks I've talked to -

folks had weird crap pop up out of nowhere, relationship

problems, trouble at work, issues with their homes, and

this, that, and the other random thing occurring, driving

everyone just a little bit insane.

There is, however, a light in the darkness in that by now, most of the rubble

has been sorted through and we've started a new month. That being the case,

I propose a turn of luck and suggest that we all start the new month off right!

That being the case, I am offering dual-purpose rites to

folks through this blog. These will be available for purchase until the 15th of

May and will command the cost of 100$ per target. If you've been havingtrouble, hit me up and we'll see what we can do for you!

Luck and Success

Meditate more! (/sorcery-blog/meditate-more)

Often times, we forget just how important our spiritual practices are. I've had

more than a few conversations with folks from the various generations who still

walk upon the Earth, and more often than not, people seem to fall on one

extreme or another: either meditation and the like is total hokum, or its the be-

all, end-all when it comes to keeping one safe and sane in these troubled

times.

Truth be told, there seem to be more naysayers than folks of the latter group.

Generally speaking, it has been my experience that the ones who engage in a

healthy spiritual regimen tend to be better off than those who don't, and I

recently had a client confirm this for me.

The client in question has had a really rough time of late. Her partner

abandoned her after breaking her down and basically made her lose any desire

to really move forward in life. This is why she sought out my assistance, as

she felt like she needed guidance to get through the rather craptaculous mess

that had become her world. In keeping with that goal, I started her on some

Buddhist mantras and meditation as a daily practice, and she was kind enough

to provide me with some great feedback. This is what she said:

"Gosh Chris!!!! If this keeps up I'll be stronger than I've

ever been. I am assuming it is connected with what you

are doing at your end. I haven't felt this good and

future focused in years!!!!!!

There's been a real shift, in my mood and in my emotional

regulation. My self confidence, my strength, my

determination and my focus is coming back.

I didn't even have time to spend a lot of time with theYantra or even do the Mantra today (I listened to it for

an hour while driving to work).

I am planning to get my motorbike licence and am actually

excited about something for the first time in years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's early days, but it is so good to be coming

back to myself.

I had to let you know.

Thank you"

I share this with you not as a shameless self-plug, but as a reminder that we

live in some really crazy, whirlwind times - its easy to get caught up in all of

the drama we deal with, but its often important to take a step back and simplylet it all go. By doing so and then seeking out and following through with the

appropriate spiritual work, we tend to make ourselves a hell of a lot happier.

We find ourselves again and doing so makes it that much easier for us to deal

with the hustle & bustle of everyday life.

The TL:DR version of this is simply "Meditate more!" Spend some time getting

to know yourself inside and out, and then use what you learn to better your life.

If you find that you're not sure how to fix something and need help, that's what

I'm here for.

Take care, folks, and don't let your well-being fray in the midst of this chaos.

Over the years, I've encountered a lot of different, strange occurrences. They've

more or less become the norm for me, and as a result, I've discovered that its

incredibly important to keep up with both protect ive and purificative work to

ensure that I stay in ship shape - you can't be very helpful if you're under

attack, as your focus is shifted elsewhere.

Protective magical work takes many forms, can be done in a nearly infinite

number of ways, and is more or less effective depending on what's going on.

Some workings provide a bigger safety blanket, whereas others only work onsmall things. The jury's out on what's the most effective, as bigger workings

don't usually get that specific - I find that they usually have small cracks that

stuff can get through, as you're only as well protected as you are specific.

With that in mind, I thought I'd write up an article on various means of

protecting oneself, including rituals, prayers, an incense blend, and some

generalized insight.

These are the most common forms of protective magic that I am aware of:

Prayers

Sigils

Runes/Bind Runes

Incense blends

Crystals

Witch bottles

Apotropaic statues

Candle magic

Talismans

In this thread, I'll be discussing sigils, prayers, and an incense blend that can

be used to do different things. My goal is to provide you with building blocks ,

and It'll be up to you to weave your own system from there.

To start, one of the simplest things you can do is to create a sigil for your

intended purpose, inscribe it onto a talisman, and then carry said talisman.

The use of the physical object will naturally ground your magical work in the

physical realm, thereby making it considerably more effective here.

You can formulate sigils however you like. Some prefer to use an alphabet of

desire, others use runes, alchemical symbols, or other drawings, and others

just doodle whatever feels right to them. No one method is the best - its just a

matter of what works for you.

As an example, here's a general protection symbol:

If you decide that you want to get more specific, here's a fiscal protection

symbol:


21/28

As you can see from the above symbols, they are relatively simple and

uncomplicated at first glance. Trying to break them down and make sense of

what each individual component means, however, will take you a fair deal oftime to accomplish.

Once comfortable with the above two, you can venture in to working with and

managing the energies of something like this hypersigil:

23/28

Make no mis take, the above is not for general use and would probably be

rather harmful for anyone who tried to utilize it without understanding exact ly

what it means. The point in showing this, however, is to cause folks to

understand that there are many different levels of magical work one can do.

Some of it is s imple enough, and other workings are far more intensive.

The more complex a mechanism is, the more energy it takes to power it - its

simple physics, taken to a metaphysical level.

Once you've got your base sigil in hand, your next task is to consecrate it.

This can be done in any number of ways, but prayer and incense are the most

common.

Prayers can take many forms. Some are brief and concise, whereas others are

terribly grandiloquent and long. You could utilize the Orphic Hymns for an

appropriate spirit, or you could simply write your God, Goddess, spirit,

etc/whatever a letter asking for assistance while providing an offering. It is ,

again, up to you.

One such prayer commonly used by Christians is St. Patrick's Breastplate,

which is about 1600 years old (according to some sources). It's as follows:


24/28

"I bind unto myself today the power of God to hold and

lead, His eye to watch, His might to stay, His ear to

hearken to my need: the wisdom of my God to teach, His

hand to guide, His shield to ward; the Word of God to

give me speech, His heavenly host to be my guard.

Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me,

Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me,

Christ to comfort me and restore me, Christ beneath me,

Christ above me, Christ in the hearts of all that love me,Christ in the mouth of friend and stranger.

I bind unto myself the Name, the strong Name of the

Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, and

One in Three, of Whom all nature hath creation; Eternal

Father, Spirit, Word: praise to the Lord of my salvation,salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen.

I bind myself to God's pow er to guide me, God's might touphold me, God's w isdom to teach me, God's Eye to watch

over me, God's Ear to hear me, God's way to lie beforeme, God's shield to shelter me, God's host to secure

me...Against the snares of demons, against the seductions

of vices, against the lusts of nature, against everyone

who meditates injury to me, whether far or near, few or

many."

Another common prayer is Psalm 91:


25/28

"The one who lives under the protection of the Most High

dwells in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say[a] to the Lord, My refuge and my fortress,

my God, in w hom I trust.He Himself will deliver you from the hunters net,

from the destructive plague.

He will cover you with His feathers;

you w ill take refuge under His wings.

His faithfulness will be a protective shield.

You wi ll not fear the terror of the night,the arrow that flies by day,

the plague that stalks i n darkness,

or the pestilence that ravages at noon.

Though a thousand fall at your side

and ten thousand at your right hand,

the pestilence will not reach you.You w ill only see it with your eyes

and witness the punishment of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lordmy refuge,

the Most Highyour dwelling place,no harm will come to you;

no plague will come near your tent.

For He wi ll give His angels orders concerning you,

to protect you in all your ways.

They will support you with their handsso that you w ill not strike your foot against a stone.

You will tread on the lion and the cobra;you w ill trample the young lion and the serpent.

Because he is lovingly devoted to Me,

I will deliver him;I will protect him because he knows My name.

When he calls out to Me, I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble.

I will rescue him and give him honor.

I wil l satisfy him with a long life

and show him My salvation."


26/28

If you're not Christian or Jewish, and would prefer to use something that doesn't

invoke the Judeo-Christian god's name, you could just as easily use another

prayer instead.

For example, a common one for Muslims is from Abu Dawud 2/89:

In Arabic (transliterated):

"Allaahumma 'innaa naj'aluka fee nuhoorihim wa na'oothubika min shuroorihim."

Translated to English:

"O Allah, we ask You to restrain them by their necks and

we seek refuge in You from their evil."

If you are from a Hindu or Tibetan Buddhist sect, you could use the mantras for

a specific Bodhisattva or deity depending on who or what you follow. I

frequently use the following blurb of my own creation during my work:

"Maa Ji, I ask for your compassion and aid in this, my

time of need. I find myself surrounded by foes whoseek to do me harm and my weapons are not sufficient.

Lend me your aid and trample my foes. Cut the heads off

the wicked, as you did Brahma and suck the life out ofthese demons!

Om Kalike Shakti Hum"

In following with my own gnosis, after offering such a prayer, I almost always

follow with physical offerings to attract the attention, aid, and favor of the spirit

in question.

This is where incense, oils, perfumes, candles, and so forth come in. To stick

to the script, so to speak, this is one of the blends I use as an offering and

t ti i


27/28

protective incense:

1 part dragon's blood (daemonorops or dracaena/calamus genii- do

notuse croton!)

1/2 part benzoin

1 part lavender flowers

1 part copal

1/4 part rue

1/4 part asafoetida

2 parts rose petals

Use a mortar and pestle to grind up each part until you've achieved your

desired consistency . When done, you're welcome to add a couple of drops of

rose absolute to really oomph up the mixture, but that's not necessary.

This mixture is meant to be burned on a charcoal disc like the 3 Kings brand -

this can be found in your local metaphysical shop or online with a bit of

searching.

Feel free to experiment and branch out as you feel inclined to do so. Be

careful and consider the properties of the herbs and resins used so that you

don't include something that can be used against you. Myrrh, for example, is a

wonderful substance when used properly - if you load intention into it, it tends

to work for you, but if you don't, it can be twisted and used against you by

someone who knows how to do so.

Now you've got the basic tools necessary to c raft your own protective

workings. Mix them up and experiment. Should you require further advice,

you're welcome to hit me up and ask away.

Regards,
