BUBBLE MAGICK

 

BANISH YOUR TROUBLES
 WITH BUBBLES 

To banish trouble, get some bubbles.
Blow bubbles for a little while without thinking about it.

Try to relax a little. Then, blow a few bubbles more deliberately, and give each bubble a name relating to things that are going wrong in your life—debts, arguments and conflicts, various lackings. Be sure you name things you want to disappear. Do not name people, but rather name your problems. For example, do not name a bubble with your boss’s name, but rather, name your boss’s refusal to give you a raise. Watch the bubbles until they pop—they always do—and imagine that problem disappearing with the bubble.

Put all the nastiness and negativity and doubt into a puff of breath and blow it into a bubble, let the wind take it away from you, and pop! It's gone.

Its hard to be sad when there’s bubbles.

SIGIL MAGICK : MAKING A MAICKAL SIGIL

Sigil magic. Making a Magical Sigil 


Magic (spells, not stage magicians) is an unexplained science.  
 Believe that, and it makes the world a better place.
 
 You don’t have to belong to any one religion to work magic. 
Christians and Wiccans and Atheists all believe in science 
– Christians and Wiccans and Atheists can all work magic. 


This week we’re going to show you how to make and charge a magical sigil, because the universe is as full of possibilities as you are. How are you going to let that potential out? Work nights in a convenience store and plug away at your garage band / unpublished novel in the hopes you’ll get famous one day? Fine. Hard work is where it’s at. But why not tap into all the forces of the universe while you’re at it? As well as hoiking those promotional band posters all round town, do yourself a favour and secretly draw a charged magical sigil on each one. Let the magic come to you for a change! After all, the worst that could happen is your sigil doesn’t bring you quite what you expected. Well, that’s the universe for ya…


So what exactly is a sigil?
 In a nutshell, it’s you writing a sentence expressing your deepest desire 
which you then turn into a symbolic picture, 
fill with energy then forget about – and wait to see if your deepest wish comes true. 


Unlike complicated magical rituals, you will need:
* A pen or pencil.
* A piece of paper.



To make our sigil, we’re going to do five things:
(1) Write down our desire as a statement of intent
(2) Turn it into a picture (a sigil)
(3) Simplify that picture and make it look more magical
(4) Charge the picture up with magical energy
(5) Ground ourselves, forget about the sigil and go and do something else – confident that the sigil is now in our unconscious which is going to do all the magical work for us.
So that’s what a magical sigil is! Now scroll down the page and we’ll tell exactly you how to make one. If you’re still not sure what a magical sigil is and why it should work, let’s break it down…

What is magic?

Let’s start at the beginning! Belief in magic is very basically a belief that the world contains forces we play with and are subject to, but are not fully aware of. And would like to get to know better. Forces that we file under ‘superstition’ or ‘hocus pocus’ or ‘utter bollocks’ because we don’t understand them very well. Working magic is an attempt to understand these forces and use them in our lives in order to affect the world we live in.

What is a magical sigil?

If you look in the dictionary, 
a sigil is a symbol with mystical significance.
In magical terms, a sigil is a tool – it’s a shape you design that tricks your mind into magicking a specific effect into your life. Creating sigils to work magic was made popular by the strange and mystical artist Austin Osman Spare



He said:
“Sigils are… a means of symbolising desire and giving it a form that prevents thought on that particular desire… and allows it free passage to the sub-consciousness.” 


– A.O.Spare, “The Book Of Pleasure”
Cool. So what does that actually mean?
Well, sigils are greatly beloved of a particular kind of magic-worker called a Chaos Magician. 

 Chaos Magicians believe that you create your world, 
 because the world is built up of your perceptions.
 It’s a poor example, but if you believe that cheerleaders are evil and out to get you, you’ll probably behave in such a way that they will be.
The biggest problem with creating magic is your conscious mind, 

 dammit! It’s your psychic censor and it keeps telling you what you should think, 
even if you don’t agree with it.


 If you believe there’s no way you can magic a laptop into your life, 
then of course your magic won’t work!
 Remember, your conscious mind is very powerful at telling you there’s simply no logical way 
 you can draw a magical picture that will somehow get you a laptop three weeks later. 
You have to trick it to let it know who’s boss


Making a sigil gets you PAST your conscious mind. 
The good news is that the one thing more powerful than your everyday common-or-garden consciousness is your subconscious. 
It will ALWAYS be more powerful, because your conscious mind only works when you tell it tor, but your subconscious mind works ALL THE TIME. If you can tell you subconscious to do something, it will chug away at the problem without you even ‘thinking’ about it, 100% of the time, and your magic will be far more likely to work.
The theory goes like this: the conscious mind is not directly capable of performing magic (in fact, it inhibits magic,) so the subconscious mind must have the magical intent implanted in it somehow it so that it can ‘unconsciously’ manipulate the magic-steeped world around us to bring about the result.
Our subconscious understands images and symbols better than anything else, therefore it is best to send it a symbolic form of our wishes.
I’m genuinely ready. Can we just make the sigil now? Sure. Let’s go!

1. Create a statement of intent

First, write down your desire very clearly, like this:
THIS IS MY WISH TO SEE A TALL WOMAN WITH PINK SHOES
Scan the letters and cross out any repeating ones, as follows:
THIS xx MY Wxxx xO xEx A xxLx xxxxN xxxx PxxK xxxxx
Which leaves us with the following letters remaining:
THISMYWOEALNPK
There. Now you’ve done the first stage – creating your statement of intent, and simplifying it.
Magical notes: What lies behind creating a statement of intent?
What you’ve just done is taken a conscious desire and broken it down into something your conscious brain doesn’t recognise any more: a meaningless string of letters. The more energy you put into turning your sentence into something unrecognisable, the more you leave your annoying conscious mind behind and hammer the message into your powerful subconscious.
The creation of the Statement of Intent is really important. Austin Osman Spare preceeded all of his magical statements with the prefix “THIS MY WISH…” followed by the description of what he desired. Maybe you don’t have to, but it does make the exercise feel more formal and special. You could also use THIS MY INTENT, or THIS MY WILL – whatever works for you.
Also, the statement of intent must be expessed only in positive, not negative terms. The subconscious has the annoying habit of perceiving everything positively. For example, if you want to pass an exam, do not express it as “I will not fail my exam” — the deep mind ignores the “not” and hears this as “I will fail my exam”! Instead, express it as something like “I will pass my exam with flying colours”.
Also, sigil magic is simple and powerful. A good way to begin is to choose some simple, unimportant result — one to which you aren’t personally attached, so your conscious mind doesn’t care what the results are. Like:
IT IS MY WILL TO SEE A TALL WOMAN WITH PINK SHOES
Such a wish is entirely unimportant, but not something that one runs into every day, so it’s a good test. See how long it takes for the wish to manifest. The practical side of such exercises is that success increases one’s confidence that MAGIC WORKS, which in turn makes success more likely for more important objectives.
There is no way to prove if sigil magic works (or not) except by trying it yourself. Never believe the hype. Create your own. Moving on…

2. Turn your Statement of Intent into a Magical Sigil

So far, you’ve got your simplified Statement of Intent: THISMYWOEALNPK
You’re now ready to go on to the next stage and turn this string of letters into a picture – your magical sigil.
You can go to www.sigilgarden.com to see some examples of sigils.
On your piece of paper, make a basic, rough sketch linking the various letter shapes together, combining some of them as you go along (for example, an “M” is a “W” upside down, “I” is contained in “T”, “F” is part of “E”, “P” sits snugly in “B”, etc.):
sigils and magic spell
Next the image is simplified and refined.
sigils and magic spell
Most homemade sigils look a little spooky or alien – like UFO writing or witchy wall-scratchings. There are no rules as to how your sigil should look as long as it works for you.
Magical notes: What lies behind turning a statement of intent into a graphical sigil?
Your goal is to make a shape that your mind can easily visualize. You also want it to look artistically impressive and somehow special – like a magical logo. Again, this is for ease of visualisation later. However, what you’re aiming for is a design that can be easily recalled by short term-memory, but not by long-term memory – you’ll want to forget about the sigil. So too much simplicity is not a good thing. Easy enough to visualise in the ritual, easy enough to forget later on – that’s the key to a good sigil.

3. Charging the sigil

Charging the sigil means infusing it with your energy. You have to get yourself to a point where you are full of energy but not really thinking anything, and then pour this energy into your sigil. There are several good ways to charge your sigil:
a) Meditation
The simplest form of meditation is to hold the image of the sigil in front of your eyes and stare intently at it at the peak of gnosis and, to use Spare’s description, ‘drink it into the mind’. Try to get into a state of “not-thinking” but at the same time obsessively concentrating on the image of the sigil to the exclusion of everything else. Not the meaning of the sigil, but simply the graphic image itself as pure abstract, unconnected to any meaning – a picture and nothing more.
b) Masturbation
We’re not joking. Masturbate while visualising the sigil in your mind’s eye. With the masturbation method you’re guaranteed to get yourself to a point when you’re full of energy and no thought, ie. orgasm. Hurrah! At the point of orgasm, visualise the sigil becoming big and bright and then exploding/disintegrating into nothingness. That’s it! Sigil charged!
c) Wild dancing
If you don’t like masturbating but do like dancing, pour yourself into wild wanton dancing – leap everywhere, be crazy, spin round and round, get out of breath – it doesn’t even have to be to music. You just have to get to a point where you feel full of adrenalin and power and tingly and aren’t really thinking anything. Then visualise the sigil in your mind’s, eye, see it becoming big and bright and then let it explode/disintegrate into nothingness. And stop dancing.

4. Ground yourself

Destroy the sigil (ie burn the bit of paper that it’s on). Now do something completely different. Do the washing up. Go for a bike ride. Do something completely grounded in reality. The sigil is over, done with. You don’t care any more. Your subconscious might care (the bit that’s still doing the magic) but you and your conscious mind are now totally uninterested.

5. Forget about it

Finally, it’s important to separate yourself from the magical ritual you’ve just done. Don’t do any meditation, other magical operations, or talk about the working with anyone. At least, not the first time you do a sigil – you need to find out what works for you. The idea is to shut the doors to the subconscious. It also keeps it from easily floating back into the conscious mind until the short term memory dumps it, which according to psychologists takes about three hours.
So just sit back, get on with life, and in a few days or weeks, you’ll probably pass your exam, or see a tall woman with pink shoes.
Congratulations! You just made a sigil!

Further magical notes on sigils

One way of deliberately forgetting is to create a few sigils for different purposes, keep them out of sight for a couple weeks or so until you can’t remember which one is which, then charge them either all at once or one after the other.
There is also the “under-the-nose” method: If you prefer, instead of destroying the sigil you can put the sigil where you can see it all the time it will just fade into the background and you won’t really ‘see’ it, but your subconscious will.
So wash the dishes, go for a bike ride, read a book that’s NOT about magic, watch Mean Girls.

Examples of sigil use:

Paint the sigil somewhere visible on your body with water-soluble paint, then take a bath and let it slowly dissolve away while watching it. This is especially useful for magical work such as healing the body.
Draw the sigil on paper or cloth with dissappearing ink and stare at it as it slowly evaporates.

The Best Times to Burn Your Candles to Attract What You Want


The Best Times to Burn Your Candles to Attract What You Want
The eternal flame has played a role in human spirituality since man first discovered fire. This is the origin of candle use for spiritual intention. There is a misconception that candle burning is negative, but the reality is candle burning is a part of virtually every spiritual denomination.
Candle burning is quite intricate. There are certain days best for certain candle prayers, and there are also certain times within the lunar cycle that are best for certain types of affirmations. There are even different energies attracted or repelled depending upon the color of the candle. Here are some of the best times to burn your candles to attract what you want.

Days of the Week

Throughout human history, the heavens have played a large role in man's spirituality. The names of the planets are in reference to Roman gods, who were all based off of the Greek gods. There is a planetary body associated with each day of the week, and the characteristics of each planetary body are associated with colors. In order to invoke this ancient spiritual energy, people burn candles according to the color associated with the theme of their affirmation.
Sunday
Sunday is, as the name suggests, the day of the Sun. It's a great day for intentions regarding the banishment of negative energies. It's also a good day for attracting healing energies. The color candles that burn best on Sunday are yelloworange, and white. Anoint the candles with lavender oil or sage oil.
Monday
Monday is the Moon's day. The moon is the representation of the feminine spirit, so it’s a good day for intentions involving communication. Things like reconciliation are best wished for on Mondays. The color candles for Mondays are the colors of the moon: white and gray. Use ylang-ylang oil and lavender oil to dress the candles.
Tuesday
Tuesday is ruled by Mars, the Roman god of war. Tuesday is a day associated with courage, which makes it a good day for wishes for a loved one to return safely from war. It also represents the courage to face personal struggles, as well as physical challenges. Any candle burned on Tuesday should be a shade of redGinger oil and clove oil are best for red candles.
Wednesday
Mercury, the messenger of the gods in Roman mythology, rules Wednesday. This makes Wednesday a day of communication, with a focus on business transactions. It's also a great day for intentions involving the pursuit of knowledge. Yellowpurple, and gray candles are perfect to burn on Wednesdays. Anoint candles with frankincense or patchouli oil.
Thursday
Thursday, ruled by Jupiter, is the perfect day for attracting luck and wealth. It's also a good day for burning candles with the intention of attracting healing energies. Farmers should burn candles on Thursdays for a healthy and plentiful crop. Blue and brown candles burn well on this day. Anoint candles with rosemary oil or lemongrass oil.
Friday
Friday is the day of Venus, who was the Roman goddess of love and sex. This makes Friday the day to perform any affirmations regarding your love life. It's also a good day to address any relationship or partnership in your life. The color candle that burns the best on Friday is pinkYlang-ylang oil is a great oil to use on a pink candle.
Saturday
Saturday is Saturn's day, and it is the day for intentions regarding a major change in your life. It's also a great day for those looking to pursue psychic wisdom, particularly in the realm of spirit communication. Affirmations for locating lost things should be done on Saturdays. This should be accentuated by burning either a grayblackblue, or purple candle. Anoint candles with sandalwood or frankincense oil.

Candles and the Lunar Cycle

Many people believe the Moon has a special influence on the subtle energies that affect their lives.
The waxing moon is the phase where the Moon is progressing from new to full. This makes it a good time for any intention involving attraction. If you're trying to attract a new job, a new lover, or more money, then you should be burning your candles during this phase.
The waning phase is when the moon is moving from full to new. This is the time for affirmations regarding removal. If you're looking to keep a certain thing from happening, then you should burn your candles during this phase. It's also the phase for anything that has to do with protection.
The new moon is the time to start new projects and set new goals. Lighting a candle during this phase can help you start anew with a fresh outlook.
The full moon is when the moon has completed its journey. It’s during this time when we celebrate all that we have accomplished and pay gratitude for all that we have. Lighting candles during a full moon is also helpful with motivation, self-improvement and increased psychic abilities.
The power of the burning candle is far beyond human comprehension. All that we know is certain days, and certain times of the lunar cycle, are essential for knowing the best time to burn candles in order to attract what you want.

KITCHEN WITCHERY: MAGICKAL FRUITS AND FOODS

Recipes for Magickal Food


Yes, food is quite magickal! When prepared with intention it can work up some wonderful energy. Any favorite recipe can be made magickal through your thoughts as you prepare it. Focus on what feelings you want to invoke in those who eat the food even if the only one who will eat it is you!

I hope you have a little kitchen altar. Light a candle as you prepare to start cooking, form your intent, visualize and cook away! You can even use a candle color to go with your intent, and don't forget the magickal (and healthful) properties in herbs and spices. Have fun cooking those comfort foods in a new and magickal way!

Certain foods do have magical properties. Here is a list to get you started:

Remember the old adage, you are what you eat? The simplest magical ritual that you can do is to cut open a fruit or vegetable and eat it while thinking of your magical intention. Below is a compilation of common foods and their metaphysical associations.


Apple: Draws a lover, erotic experiences to you. Increases attraction. Apple compote with cinnamon is thought to speed up the arrival of a lover to you or encourage a reluctant lover to make a cerebral relationship physical.


Apricot: For flirtation or light hearted romantic experience.


Avocado: To make yourself appear younger to others or increase personal beauty or attractiveness. Avocado is the love apple of Venus.


Banana: Eaten by males - increases fertility and heroism. Eaten by females - draws a lover.


Beets: Increases virility, passion, erotica and fertility. It is a root so it grounds a relationship and binds the lover to you.


Blueberry: To eliminate obstacles or rivals that may come between you. As you swallow each blueberry, imagine the things that come between you falling away or disappearing.

Butter: To eliminate hostility and arguments. While smoothing it on a piece of bread, hopefully with a little honey too, think of things smoothing out.


Cardamom: This herb is thought to amplify a love that is already there or strengthen existing relationships. Drink a cup of Chai tea with cardamom in it for this purpose.


Carrot: Helps bring masculine energies to a woman. For a man strengthens virility.


Celery: Increases libido and passion. Encourages reluctant lovers to take action


Cherry: Eat for love, health and to boost sexual attraction.


Chocolate: An aphrodisiac. Lifts moods and attracts sensual experiences. Binds lovers.


Clove: Add clove to curry dishes, baked dishes and hot chocolate for fun, love and erotic experiences. This is also the bud of stolen kisses so it is good for mistresses to spike their lover's meals with it.


Coriander: Add to curries and salads to attract your soulmate. It represents a high spiritual love combined with wisdom.


Cucumber: Eaten for sexual stamina, beautiful skin. Chop with extreme prejudice if you are into revenge on a certain philandering male.


Eggs: An ancient symbol of conception: Eat for fertility and fidelity.


Garlic: Eat to banish the "other woman" or a rival who may be in the way.


Grapes: Grapes are a symbol of a happy marriage and many children. Eat to increase fertility and emotional security. Can also be used to increase your popularity with opposite sex. As you eat each grape, picture another lover coming your way … known or unknown. Red grapes are best for this purpose.


Guava: Relieves heartbreak, attracts new romance, revives the erotic imagination.


Honey: The nectar of the Gods. Sweetens up a relationship. Attracts positive love and attention.


Lemon: Marriage, joy, fidelity, pure intentions and longevity in a relationship.


Mushrooms: Eat raw to make yourself beautiful and increase your feminine mystique.


Orange: Health, fidelity, love and joy.


Peanut: Crack these open from the shell and attract more male energy into your life.


Peas: Used to attract love, positive Goddess energy into life.


Pineapple: To attract a wealthy lover.


Pomegranate: For fertility, erotic imagination, a long line of descendants. Also eaten sometimes to attract numerous partners or a wealthy partner.

Pork: Eaten for fertility.


Quince: Are traditionally eaten for happiness between lovers.


Raspberry: For sexual stamina and amplifying love that is there.


Sweet Relish: For enhancing sexual passion.


Rice: For childbearing and fertility.


Sausage: To bring kinky sexual partners to you, a variety of partners or social excitement.


Strawberry: To attract a lover, to increase sexual intensity and stamina of a lover. To make a lover think of you eat a strawberry every day.


Sweet Potato: To attract a well grounded, emotional secure, gentle wise love.


Maple Syrup: To assure a positive "first meeting" or that a blind date goes well.


Tomato: The original "love apple". Eat to attract a partner or increase the love that is already there.


Tangerine: Health, fidelity, flirtation, love, joy and childlike qualities. Banishes heaviness.

NATURAL WITCH

What Are Natural Witch Powers?

commons wikipedia
Natural witch powers are similar -if not the same- as those experienced by sensitives, empaths, and mediums, but with a slight twist. Natural witches have a tendency to be able to make things happen, even without a spell.
A spell has been referred to by some, as a way to focus natural energies. These energies and intentions are already there, but through practical application they become more convincing to the spell-caster and seem to work better. Anyone can be a witch and anyone can cast spells, but there are a few out there who, with just a thought, seem to make things happen. Natural witches have the power to summon karma (even unknowingly), but for the most part it will only happen when it is deserved. The universe will protect the innocent in these cases. Sometimes when someone wrongs someone, the universe has its own plan -spells or intentions won’t work here because the act of balance has been put in motion by higher forces.
Other natural witch powers include:
Strong intuition -the ability to see beyond the veil. Natural witches can usually tell when someone is lying to them.
The intuitive tendency to sense patterns and signs. Sometimes when we need information, the universe will send us that information through signs and patterns. A natural witch will follow her intuition to decipher these patterns. (this same thing can be true for psychics and sensitives)
Being able to sense positive and negative energies in other people. Most people have a combination of positive and negative energies in their body, but some lean more towards one direction. A witch usually knows who she cannot trust, especially if she has children.

Just know that even if you have these abilities, you do not have to call yourself a witch. Some associate the word with the occult or negative forces. If you do have natural witch powers, consider yourself blessed, and know that they came from your Creator for your protection. Always align your will with what is right and what is good and good will follow…sometimes this takes time, but don’t be discouraged.

Signs You Are a Natural Witch

The term ‘witch’ has received a bad rap over the years. Many have died for being accused of witchcraft; many others ostracized and tossed to the side like dirty rags. Modern day witches might face a society that gives them strange looks and accuses them of having delusional fantasies created out of their own personal feelings of inadequacy. To be a witch gives promise that you might be able to control a small portion of the external world. Most of us would like to feel that. After all, it’s a cruel world we live in.
The actual word ‘witch’ comes from the Old English wicce being female sorceress, and wicca being male sorcerer, or wizard. It refers to an individual who seems to possess an uncanny ability to make things happen, but these days, witches are usually just considered Wiccan -though not everyone who practices witchcraft subscribes to the religion. Anyone can follow Wicca or witchcraft and learn its methodologies and practical applications. With that in mind, nearly anyone can ‘theoretically’ become a witch. But, not everyone is drawn to it. More than likely, those who are drawn to this lifestyle, do so because they have had supernatural experiences, or are interested and have an open mind to accept the reality of the supernatural. Witches, like ‘regular people’ who have not tapped into or do not believe in supernatural abilities, come in all shades. Some dispel more negative. Some dispel more positive.
The practice of manifesting power can come in form of ceremony, or pure unadulterated intent. Witches may follow Wiccan or practice witchcraft, but there are also individuals who manifest (sometimes without realizing it) who do not follow any particular belief system…besides the belief in and of itself, that they can make things happen. Those who manifest without props, might be considered natural witches -simply because it comes to them naturally to them. They know things without being taught. And they are generally acutely aware of how thought can affect circumstance. Natural witches (and I use the term very loosely), overall, are just more sensitive and in tuned to their abilities. Usually these abilities come forward at an early age.
But what is sensitive? And what are the signs you are a natural witch?
Are you aware of lunar phases without looking them up?
Can you sense tragedies or accidents nearby?
Did you practice protection spells as a child without knowing what they were? (Encircling your body with a shield of white light, for instance.)
Did you have prophetic dreams, or just seem to know things (like when someone in the family is pregnant, or whether they were having a boy or a girl) without being given that information?
If you answered yes to some of these questions, you very well may be a natural witch.
Some might say it is all hogwash and that there are no ‘natural witches’. Others might say that we are all connected to a universal consciousness and there are a few who are more tuned into its processes, albeit subconsciously. Some might say those who have these abilities but never follow Wicca, are not technically witches. That does not, however, extinguish what are considered witch-like powers.

BLOOD MAGICK

I had the urge to re-post this , 
because i remember that i used my own blood 
in one of my spells...


Blood magic, super serious stuff here. A lot of people wonder about using blood in their work, I know I did at one time as well. First thing you need to know is this: Blood magic cannot be undone. No matter how much you regret the spell or dislike the out come or wish to part from the bond you made. You are tied to what you have done. Think about if you truly want what this spell, curse, hex, dedication, bond. Think about all the out comes that could happen. Do you really want the spell to happen in the way you are stating it, do you really want to hex someone this bad, does your god or goddess frown on self harm or blood it self (some do! Be sure to research!), are you willing to take what the out come could be? No matter how good or bad it is. Think on it for a while. Please don’t do it in haste or desperation, if you are upset over something, wait a full moon cycle before casting. Be sure this is what you want, be sure you word everything perfectly and have all the items you will need to insure there is no confusion in your work. I have only drawn blood once and that was in desperation of the healing spell to save my familiar (which I left out of the spell I posted for that for others to use on here).
Second thing: Don’t do what they do in the movies. Do not cut your palm. It takes a very long time to heal and is easily infected. There are many ways to get blood. For women, most of you should be able to get blood with out causing any harm to your self at all. Menstruation blood works just as well as blood from your arm or leg. If you don’t have this option, you can always prick your finger or arm, ect with a sanitized needle or safety pin (you can buy sterile needles online or just clean one in alcohol/fire before use. You don’t need much blood, just a drop or two is enough, don’t slice yourself wide open please.
Thirdly: there are 4 different ways to get the blood to the powers to have it used for the purpose you need it. To get the energy from your blood to the spiritual plan, place the blood on a sheet of paper and burn it. The atmosphere try and drip your blood into the wind. For Earth energy drop it onto the earth. For the cosmos just drip in into running water or a bowl of blessed water. It all depends on what element you are needing help with to cast your spell.
Please be careful casting anything with blood, and once again, think about what you are doing. I post this information, as well as the love spells that I posted, because I know people look for this information. You want to know about it, are curious about it. I want to tell you the proper ways to be doing them as well as caution you as much as I can through out the post to make you double think your actions. Any questions or concerns about this post, please send me a message and I will respond to you, privately if you would like just be sure to tell me so.
