Chapter Eleven: Magic of The Earth
Consider that the Earth contains a great deal of highly varied forms of energy. That it soaks in them. That by seasons it returns to them, as such is astrology. It is a place where many millions are talking and thinking constantly. And constantly feeling emotions, and sometimes dreaming, sometimes eating and tasting the Earth and its food. That is something known as the living soul of Mother Earth and Father Time. The moon being prayed to brings its power back down. And like a soup of chemicals producing life, so does that soul through magical means and the magician drawing it down.
Every stone is precious, every branch from a tree containing a certain amount of magic. In the right combinations they push out magic.
We live in a world of shared thought. Shared results of those thoughts make life what it is. Mother Nature doesn’t care if you live forever- it cares only that it lives forever, and that in fact leads us into death. But it also wants to infuse us with its powers. This can be a good or negative thing. It forces in us life that forces itself out until it has worn down so much that it cannot continue doing so.
It has for us the task of making things indestructible. But it also wants a lot dead so a lot can be born. It is like it almost senses a challenge in so doing, one worthy of being alive for if accomplished. It is for it a proof of life and strength. Like the spell of reflect though, what goes around comes around. Unless you are genuinely better than your enemy, I would not recommend using such magic.
Life means life to life itself and all life is a gift from the Earth. That includes anything produced or at least shaped by it. Like a branch that grows, a crystal that forms. The ebb and flow of oceans that are full of life. The world changes the nature of things. It changes the things within it. Chemical reactions aren’t looking far enough behind or before. That comes after the fact. I mean does physics only create one thing? Is one physics a create-all matter?
Dark Substances come from placing in dark Netheral emotions into objects. That meditation that makes one feel “darkness” is an emotion that few have ever come by. For some it permeates in their life. They are always feeling darkness. Darkness is an emotion but one only a few in this world will ever experience. It is a true indication that your soul belongs with it.
Nostalgia as a reflection from childhood can be a potent form of magic. The things of your past can easily set forth Crystalline Memories. A TV is a good tool for this as well as reconstructing the past as well as you can: which is to say, select an old cartoon you watched a lot as a child, on the same TV, in the same chair, etc., and watch it through the eyes of your youth. See it in a way that you make yourself think you are back in that time again, not just modernly watching it. It sparks certain neurons back into your mind.
Remember: use your senses the best you can. Be it tactile, by taste or scent, etc., for the whole grasp on it. Bring your soul, mind, and spirit into magic. Revel in its power. Hold and behold it.
Magically cultivate a Saint John's Wort flower in a bed of crystals. Find a place hidden and pray there. In a place such a run down home you grew up in and has since been abandoned, practice prayer and magic. In the desert maybe, the same. In any place away from the eyes of society do so. When it rains have your soul be pouring down with it. Ma Make things seasonal. Make them a thing of tradition according to certain occurrences, as you choose.
How to pick from the world magical things: by sifting through rocks, retrieving a “Coliseum” stone, deep diving for pearls, is enough to say “the world is your oyster.”
Be a treasure hunter of the best kind. Learn the magic that others have forgotten by looking far and wide for that book. With the feather of a crow pen down the first page of your Book of Shadows. Better still: be creative with magic, like placing a broom next to the wall where you lay practicing astral projection. Create an all new Tarot deck if you are artistically able to. Create a magic box with the right sigils and symbols placed on them. Use a printer to create prayer sheets, as well as using things suited for it being done the best way it can be done. If you ever see a penny take it as good luck.
Teach yourself resourcefulness. Take a plastic cup and make it into one for occult use uses. Use a Skeletor figure as an idol. Rainbow Bright if you prefer, or a troll doll. Some are able to use regular poker cards as their Tarot. It's okay to have a Satanic poster as your wall sigil before your altar- one of a dragon maybe, or even your favorite metal band. A black hoodie can serve as your cloak. I have even turned a phone book into a magic game.
