Linking a Sigil to an Area or Person

 
As promised I'm sharing the method I use to link a sigil of intention to a place for the purposes of influencing it's inhabitants. I first came across this idea while browsing through one of the more popular occult forums where someone was asking how they could go about achieving a goal like this. I immediately thought about the use of dirt from various locations and other sympathetic links used in Conjure practices and decided to take this idea and run with it.

I first performed a series of these spells to see exactly what I could do with this and if it would even work as I hoped. My first spell was to help my fiancé to find a job, as the economy and job market are in less than stellar conditions finding a job had been quite the undertaking for my lovely lady. She was putting in between 15-25 applications a month, sending out resumes everywhere she could think of only to be rewarded with jobs she was either completely unqualified for or just absurd (at one point she was offered a job as a mall Easter Bunny). I had her pick three of the jobs from the dozens she had applied to perform this spell on. I then went about getting the required links to perform the spell. Be discreet if you can as at one location I was asked what I was doing while gathering dirt from the corner of the building. I told them in my most professional tone I was there for a soil sample and quickly departed before they came to the conclusion that you don't collect soil samples in empty Tic-Tac boxes.

Once I was home and all my links collected I put them into a small bowl and added paint and mixed it thoroughly. I then painted onto a small canvas a sigil for the intention I had chosen, in this case for my lady to be favored over the competition this large painting of the sigil was to become what I called the "Master Sigil". Once the sigil was created I took a sheet of small circular mailing labels and added the same sigil to each of them these were to be the "Slave Sigils". I activated the sigils and left them to charge for a few days under a dressed candle said affirmative prayers over them until the candle was gone. I then left the Master Sigil upon my altar while I took the Slave Sigils out to do the work they were intended for. I returned to each of the sites my fiancé was seeking employment and placed them in various inconspicuous areas. Under counters, shelves, behind door handles etc. I worked these sigils in a web for lack of a better term closer and closer to where the administration would come in contact with them or at the least be near them.

 After doing this my fiancé was contacted by two of the three jobs that were targeted by the sigils. I had her place one of the sigils in each of her shoes before departing for her interviews and stuck two on the back of her cell phone so that once in the room she was to be interviewed she could stick them under the hiring managers desk or at least her own chair if that was all that was available. Within days of the interviews she was called back by both employers and my lady had the luxury of deciding whom she wanted to work for.

I have performed this spell several times now and it has always been successful and sometimes too successful so be careful how you formulate your statement.


I most recently did this spell for someone else and decided to incorporate my Jupiter altar into the mix as this person's request seemed a bit tougher than the normal influencing I use these for. This person had recently been through a divorce which left her credit in ruin and her finances in less than a desirable state. She needed a loan to be approved in order to keep the house she had been granted in the divorce and banks are not at all in a hurry to lend hundreds of thousands of dollars out at the moment. I had her collect dirt from each of the banks she had applied for a loan from, in addition I asked for her to get me the business cards of each of the loan officers she would be working with. I took the business cards and burned them to ash and mixed them thoroughly into the dirt I'd be using for the spell. I added a few drops of prosperity oil, road opener and compelling oil to the mixture as well to help filter or tighten the intention of the spell. I added the paint to the mixture and performed the steps described earlier in the creation of the Master and Slave sigils. Once this was complete I placed them in the center of my Jupiter Altar and placed a candle on the sigils from Financial Sorcery that I felt would be most beneficial for this spell. Draw Money, Sweeten Relationships, Defeat Competition were the sigils used, I then used the planetary calls of Jupiter, Venus of Jupiter, Mercury of Jupiter and Mars of Jupiter along with a few offerings to Jupiter to motivate him to lend his assistance. I had chose these calls as communication, favor and just enough twisting of the arm were what I felt were needed to help this person achieve their goal. Once the sigils were charged I shipped everything to her so that she could plant them as I instructed her around and inside the banks she applied to.

In my last correspondence with her she informed that despite the bad credit score and other disadvantages she faced in getting the loan she had been accepted by the first bank she had applied to.

If one were so inclined there are many uses for a spell of this nature, I personally have used this to lighten tensions on my job as well as win favor when evaluations and raises were approaching, as well as remove unwanted people from places in a gentler fashion than say a hot foot or causing an accident.

If anyone cares to try this please feel free to comment and let me know how it worked out for them, the Jupiter altar is not necessary for this to work as I have only used it once which was for the above mentioned spell. If one were to use a little creativity they could apply this in several different manners. Water form a wishing well or fountain mixed with water color paint to increase generosity or for people to be more apt to spend, dirt or dust from an office or coworkers cubicle is just as handy in this situation as dirt from the corners of a building. Use your imagination and see what happens.

Until next time

Jupiter Altar Update Part 2

So I've had quite a bit of success with my Jupiter altar this past month. As I said in when I first announced this endeavour I mentioned that my goal was to double or at least substantially increase my monthly revenue from my store for each month.

I have been doing weekly work each Thursday using the draw money, steady work and viral marketing glyphs in conjunction with certain Jupiter calls namely Mercury, Venus, Sol and Jupiter of Jupiter. I include offerings of whiskey and incense to help sweeten up Jupiter and receive his blessings.

In the first 10 days of the month I hit my monthly target ($200) and within 20 days I was $137 over my monthly target and by the end of the month I had tripled my monthly income. In addition to tripling my monthly income, I received two offers to have my business promoted by outside sources.

As for the spell I performed on my altar to help someone receive a home loan they were accepted despite having bad credit and other issues that could have prevented having their loan approved. I'll be sharing the spell on my blog in the future for those who would like to try it themselves.

Jupiter has definitely came through but also given much to think about. Growth and expansion are great but they definitely have consequences. As prosperity grows so does the stress and concerns that come with managing it and time seems to be the only thing that does not seem to grow. While I'm honestly grateful for all the recent prosperity I'm even more thankful for the insights provided that allowed me to see the reality of what I've been working to achieve.

Until next time

Jupiter Altar Update

I've been putting my Jupiter altar to work since it's creation and have been noticing some very nice results.

Goal:
I petitioned Jupiter to increase the activity of my business with the goal to double or at least substantially increase my revenue.

Result:
I was not close to my usual monthly goal before I made the altar this month, in fact sales had been a bit slow. After the creation of the altar and beginning the work I not only made my sales goal for the month but nearly made an extra $100 ($98 to be exact). Not bad for a 9 day span of time!
Not as sexy as Benjamin's but give me time...

Goal:
I worked with the Saturn of Jupiter energy to restrict costs and expenses as well as help provide discipline and longevity for my goals.



Result:
I had to take my dog to the vet, the vet checked her out shook my hand and said "No charge". I was a taken back a bit and quickly got out of there before he changed his mind. The dog is fine too. That certainly saved me a bit of money as a vet bill can be quite expensive.

I also received news in the mail that a credit line I had has been closed due to inactivity (Funny how they never close them while I owe them money...)

I also had a very welcome surprise of a friend gifting me some nicely done banners for my store, something I'd have had to pay for if I'd gotten them from somewhere else.


Thanks Eva!

So the restrictive and binding aspects have definitely come into play to not only save money but also prevent additional spending.


My normal methods of use so far are as follows.

Make offerings to Jupiter on the central seal on the table consisting of a shot of whiskey that I take a small sip of and toast to Jupiter along with a mix of Jupiter and Prosperity incense and a blue candle dressed in Jupiter oil. I then recite the planetary call of Jupiter and give thanks for all that I have and all that will come to me in the future.

I then dress a blue candle with Prosperity oil and place it on the Money Drawing glyph and use a series of calls. Mercury of Jupiter for communication to spread the word of my business, swiftness for drawing clients and money in general. Venus of Mercury to make myself more attractive to potential clients and cause repeat business, Mars of Jupiter to keep me motivated to continue the work as well as keep me moving quickly to reply and handle client orders as fast as possible.

I then take an additional candle dressed in Money Stay With Me oil and place it on the Hold Money glyph and use the call of Saturn  of Jupiter to restrict and bind expenses as well as give me the necessary discipline to resist all those pretty shiny things I want.

After the calls are recited and the petitions are stated I place the candles in a triangle pattern and allow them to burn down.

I did a working using linked sigils to help someone get a bank loan as soon as results or lack there of are evident I will post details of the working and results.

Until next time

Hail Jupiter!

Financial Sorcery With an Advanced Planetary Twist

I recently built a working altar/table of practice based around a couple of books I've found both helpful and intriguing. I've been reading up on Jason Miller's Financial Sorcery and Advanced Planetary Magick and found a way I'd like to blend the two systems together.

Financial Sorcery is Jason Miller's work with the planet Jupiter and how to take control of one's finances, filled with both magic work and plenty of mundane steps to help one succeed. In this book Jason offers up multiple sigils or glyphs with practical purposes such as drawing money, holding onto money, help with legal troubles concerning one's finances or business as well as entrepreneurial growth and marketing one's business. Advanced Planetary Magick is Jason's approach to not only working with Jupiter but the other celestial spheres as well. He includes 49 calls or short invocations or prayers to be recited using the Greek vowels as seeds for the work in the book.

I found these quite intriguing as I own my own small business that I've recently started and wanted to see if I could add a little extra growth to my own business using Jason's book. I generally make about $200 a month on this small business which is fine as I'm just getting started and have almost zero overhead but wanted to see if I could possibly double or at least give a significant increase to the income I draw in from it.

I had the idea to combine these two works together and see what happens. I took the sigils or glyphs of Jupiter from Financial Sorcery and placed them around the outer edge of the altar. I then placed the sigil of Jupiter from Advanced Planetary Magick in the center of the altar.

The idea behind the altar is to use the Calls of Jupiter in conjunction with the different sigils placed around the altar. For example to help find a job I would place a petition with a dressed candle over the Get a Job sigil from Financial Sorcery and use the Corresponding calls in this instance Mercury of Jupiter for better communication, and Venus of Jupiter to win favor over the competition. An offering of incense and alcohol would be placed upon the central sigil of Jupiter to help sweeten ol' Jove up to the idea of lending his assistance to me.

I plan to use a bit of hoodoo tech with this altar as well, using the specialized oils and incense to help push the intention of the work. Want to market your business? A little "Look Me Over" incense and oil on the candle and petition. The IRS breathing down your neck? "Law Keep Away" certainly can't hurt. Of curse products like "Money Drawing" or "Prosperity" will be constant themes to the work as well...it IS a money altar.

I have noticed an increase in my business since simply building the altar and dedicating a space for the workings. Immediately following me setting the altar up and saying a short prayer to Jupiter before I could even leave the room I received a notification from my best buddies at PayPal letting me know I'd made a sale. Of course this COULD have been a coincidence but I honestly felt a playful wink from Jupiter, letting me know that if I make time for him he'll do the same. That wink has become a batting of the eyes as since the construction of the altar I've had a boom of business and in two days made what I usually do in two weeks.

I had planned to do work on this altar both for myself and my business as well as others. When we put an idea out to the universe it often answers, this time it was to answer the call of working for others. My fiance was recently let go from her job due to corporate gree...I mean downsizing so I will be putting this altar to work to help her find work as well as create stable growth for my small business as well as protection for my own day job.

I'll be sure to keep this work updated to provide both a progress report for my own work as well as the work I do on the behalf of others.

My completed altar




Of course if I've learned nothing else from Financial Sorcery it was to not rely on spirit to take care of my problems but to put in the mundane work as well. I've been much more active in the marketing of my business, both online and off. I've been working all the overtime I can get and taking the advice in the book about taking taking control of one's finances and putting yourself in a position of power over your lifestyle and spending habits.

That being said, of course I'll give everyone links to my store and Facebook Page:

A Layered Protection Candle Spell

Here is a spell I came up with and have used before when in need of protection from enemies as well as when doing negative work myself.
What you'll need:
White candle
Blessing powders and oil
Protection powders and oil
High John root chips
Master of the Woods
Sage
Basil
Crushed red pepper
4 whole bay leaves
Ink pen or marker

Take a white candle and inscribe your name on it as well as "protection" and "blessings". Dress this candle in a mix of blessing and protection oil. Set the dressed candle on a plate or saucer. Make a ring around the candle holder with a blend of blessing and protection powder, sprinkle some High John chips for strength and mastery over the situation as well as some Master of the Woods to break down obstacles and hardships you face. Next make a ring around the powders using sage to purify, then basil for protection and to attract positive influences and finally a thick wide ring of crushed red pepper to repel and burn whomever attempts to attack. You'll end up with concentric rings getting smaller and smaller until you reach the candle. Take the 4 bay leaves and write the name of each archangels, one on each leaf. Place these in the cardinal directions on the plate or saucer and ask that the archangels surround you and shield you and protect you with their might and strength. Read Psalms 23 and 91 three times each as you burn the candle and ask that the flame of the candle be a guide to help you past the snares of your enemies.

Your end result should look something like this.

The Magician

I've recently taken it upon myself to add more stuff to do in my life by writing a book. A book about tarot, to which there are endless examples of. To add increased pressure and stress my book will not be a treatise or essay like those penned by Crowley or Barlow ( a feat in itself ) but instead will be yet another book which accompanies a deck.  My vision of this book and deck which will hopefully set it apart from the plethora of already existing deck/book combos is that I hope to craft a book which provides practical and realistic views of the cards that a novice can pick up and begin reading quickly rather than feeling lost at the prospect of learning astrological and Kabbalistic associations to the cards.

I thought I'd share a little as a particular card speaks to many magicians on several different levels. The Magician card.


“The Magician is the first transformation The Fool undergoes along his journey through the Arcana. The Magician is representative of the will, the ability to create that which he desires as well as using the tools available to do so. Everyone is the magician even if they do not practice the occult arts or realize their power. Every person manifests their desires some more astutely than others. The magician has the power of the elements and their alchemical attributes at their disposal.  Be it with the Wands of the Will and desire, The Cups of emotion and spiritual connection, The Swords of intellect and analysis or the Pentacles or Disks which represent the material assets the Magician puts to use to attain his desires or the Spirits he calls upon on his and others behalf.

The Magician must know himself and both his strengths and weaknesses to put these powers into productive use in his life in a balanced and strategic way. He must know his motivations and understand where they come from. When applied correctly the Magician and the Will he represents is reminded of the magic he witnessed when he was The Fool and the world through his eyes was full of amazement and wonder. He may literally watch his desires and wishes unfold before him.

When the forces the Magician commands are applied incorrectly the Magician encounters disappointment and it is up to him to look deep within himself as to where the problem lies or he may place his growth in peril by becoming jaded, and cynical. It is all too easy for the Magician to allow his ego to get the better of him, especially once he sees the apparent ease of which he may manifest his desires and see the results of the influences he pushes into effect. The Magician must stay ever mindful of his own weaknesses and tendencies or else his manifestations will not be to his liking but will still be the result of his own doing and his devil-may-care approach to his situation.”

 

The fact is that every person is a magician to an extent, be it the CEO of a major corporation living in a lofty penthouse or a guy living in an RV, be it a Ceremonial Magician vibrating names of power in a marble floored temple or a Shaman getting lost in the poly-rhythms of the drums he dances to in a meadow. We are all responsible for the manifestations around us, that is not to say that we are all meant to be rich and famous and mind blowingly successful. What it does mean is that we are all capable of making our lives as enjoyable as possible and that in itself can be a terrifying prospect, especially in an age when victim hood and reliance on elected officials has robbed the majority of any sense of self empowerment. It's far easier to look at others as the cause of why one is the position they find themselves rather than looking inward to see where their own choices have brought them.
As magicians we owe it to ourselves to step back from time to time and both put things in perspective and reevaluate our priorities, look at what we are doing and it's effect as well as reflect on the changes made in ourselves since embarking on a goal.
We all face hardships and pitfalls in our lives, to be the Magician rather than the Fool means to examine these hardships and understand how to apply them in a constructive way that allows growth and better prepares us for the next manifestation of our journey.
