Our Collective Ritual of 2020.

Monday, the 16th, our remote Collective Healing Ritual. Hugs to all.

For all the members, readers and followers who are in my WhatsApp, and for those who are not, this Monday the 16th we will carry out our collective healing ritual. Below I leave you the necessary implements and the time, it is like all the rituals we do, simple but effective.

If for some reason you cannot do it at the same time, you can do it during the same day before midnight, although synchronization is important, the willingness to do things is much more, the important thing is to do it.

Why we do this Ritual?

Every year I offer two rituals in the Blog to perform each one at home, manifesting the best and most beautiful of our energy, all together on the same day, working at a distance for the same purpose. This year I committed myself to perform at least four rituals collectively, this is the first of this 2020.

We are a total of 23 participants so far, or at least that is the number of contacts that participated in the previous ritual. If each of us performs this ritual on the same day, a small but very consistent wave of healing energy will cover our different cities, if you want to contact me directly, remember to write me a direct message in Twitter/IG/FB to request my phone number.

The next ritual of this 2020, will be a ritual for Abundance and Prosperity in about two months.

Day and Time of our Healing ritual:

Monday, March 16, 2020 (the same day that we used 2017 and 2018).

18:00 Hrs / 6Pm (New York City time).

Implements:

• Three candles (can be white candles, soy candles, honey candles or bait candles).
• Three small sheets of paper with a Pentagram drawn on each one.
• Frankincense or myrrh incense (pure, in sticks or in a cone).
• A glass of water.
• A dish with clean soil.
• A dish with coarse salt.
• Myrrh and eucalyptus essential oil.
• Colored chalks.

Ritual:

Prepare and clean the room where you will perform the ritual, turn off the phone a few minutes before to avoid all kinds of distractions. With the chalks, draw a protective circle on the floor where you can sit with all the implements, around the circle draw several arrows pointing out from the circle. If you were to perform this ritual together with someone else, try to make the space as comfortable as possible for both of you.

You can burn (this is optional) a little sage a few hours before the ritual, in order to clean the eonic energy from your environment. Put all the implements inside the circle and take a previous shower with cold water, and add a little of your favorite essential oil to the shower soap.

15 minutes before the ritual, proceed to recite several times in a low voice "this space is clean, this space is sacred", recite it as many times as you feel necessary, enter the circle, then light the candles and incense.

With a pencil writes behind each of the pieces of paper, the names of three loved ones, no more than three, no less than three, in total will form nine people. The names that you choose only you will know, smear your hands with a few drops of the essential oil, rub your hands between them and then rub the paper on both sides with the same oil.

The next step is to hold one of the staves in your hands, recite the following enchantment and burn the stave with the candle flame, once the stave is consumed, place it on the plate with earth and pour a little salt on the. Repeat with the other two staves.

*"O Great Healing Spirits that inhabit this earth

O great forgotten spirits of the land,

Come here where you are welcome and are summoned

Get here with blessings and gifts

Here where you are welcome and are summoned

Come here to cure and heal

Be you the cure against all evil

Be you the healing that my loved ones need

Be you the sacred energy that cures and prevents all evil

Thank you very much today and always for the cure you give us.”

Once you are done with this part of the ritual, dip your fingers in the water and spray a little of this water on your surroundings by reciting:

"Everything is still clean, everything is still pure,

and all this place is sacred space,

All the healing energy that inhabits this circle,

now protects this home and cure the spirit".

The next thing is to step outside the circle and start erasing it from the inside out in complete silence, to allow the energy you have generated to manifest outside of it. Collect all the remains of the ritual, mix them together in a bag and throw them away from home.

Remember that in magic and sorcery the elements that have already fulfilled their function, such as the remains of candles and ashes, are like bodies that have been left without a soul, and we should not save them.

*(Contrary to popular belief, the important thing is in the power of the message, in the correct use of its words, not in the rhyme, but if you want to replace this enchantment with your own in rhymes, that's fine, just try to keep the structure and message).

Hugs to all, we read soon.

Magic Rituals for Health.

Three Magic Rituals of my grandmother and my mother for Health.

Hugs dear reader, thank you for walking a few minutes in my little virtual corner. Here I share three rituals that we perform at home, the first of which is widely used by my grandmother in the Amazon, especially performed for tourists. The next two belong to my mom and she taught me how to use them to assist her from time to time with her clients.

Healing with rocks and plants.

Although this ritual is commonly performed in the surroundings of the Orinoco River by the healers of the region, it has become very popular lately among other groups, so it is a pleasure for me to share it without any prejudice in this regard.

This ritual consists of finding a nearby river or any natural source of freshwater, submerging your feet in the water momentarily, closing your eyes for an instant and taking a deep breath, imagine a white light that comes from the bottom of the water, maintain this vision for a few moments while you breathe deeply and feel the river water running between your feet.

After a couple of minutes open your eyes, look down and extract three stones from the river, it is your decision which one to choose, once you have them with you proceed to store them, let these stones dry in the sun, rub them with coconut oil or coconut water and place these items on a plate next to a white candle. At the end of the three-night count, return these stones to the river, not by throwing them into the water, but by burying them near the shore, to allow "Asire" (the river's healing mother) to take those evils back to land.

This ritual is very popular with tourists to absorb the discomforts caused by some disease, it is also widely used to combat some serious diseases. Its most popular use is among people who are receiving chemotherapy because with the intake of medicines they cannot ingest certain herbal preparations or hot herbal teas and certain fruits.

Coconuts and Candles for Obatala that never fails us.

Obatala is the Orisa of Wisdom, Health and of everything that is pure, healthy and “purifying”, he is the father par excellence of all healers and the African deity who cures all ills.

Although the initiates in the Afro-Caribbean cult have their own stricter and secret rituals. A ritual that is always performed for the uninitiated, consists of the painting of two white coconuts using white eggshell powder. Two white candles are lit in honor of Obatala the healer, a few leaves of white sage or peppermint are burned as votive incense, the coconuts are passed several times by this smoke, and then they move around the entire house and in all its corners.

Traditionally, after several hours, the coconuts are blown, throwing them on the ground to "destroy" any discomfort or disease that they have absorbed, although that is the traditional thing, my mother always affirmed that doing this only moved the discomforts of the house of one place to another, because by bursting the coconuts they released the evil back. So she proposed to keep the fruits under the beds for at least two nights in a row and then throw them in the trash without breaking them.

This ritual is used to absorb all physical and spiritual discomforts in the home, as well as to prevent the appearance of illnesses and health complications that are not visible.

Working directly with the god of disease.

This ritual is for those individuals, who although they are not initiated in any specific mystical current, wish to prevent these diseases, for this you need to go through a nearby cemetery and collect some soil, you can store it in a glass jar with a lid. Cemetery land has a number of important properties and elements in the world of mysticism, but we will talk about it later in another post.

The Ritual.

Sakpatá or Azojuano, is the deity of virulent diseases, venereal diseases, viruses, skin conditions, smallpox, leprosy, plagues, and misery.

Better known in modern times as Babalu Aye, he is one of those gods as revered as feared, he is associated with all diseases but also with his cures, he is invoked to implore the recovery of our loved ones, but also to end the enemies health.

A simple but effective ritual to win his favor is to lay a piece of purple or red cloth on the ground spread a good amount of the graveyard soil all over the cloth, and serve a piece of bread, a handful of raw or sardine meat, a handful of rice, a whole handful of lentils, 17 grains of corn, a pinch of guinea pepper and a tiny crystal quartz stone.

Along with this, serve a glass of red wine and a glass of water, light a red candle in the name of Sakpatá or Azojuano, pleading for his favor and healing, to keep away all the diseases and discomforts that are under his control in exchange for this. small offering, let him know that in your home his name will always be respected and that whenever he requires light or food he can come here to ask for it.

When this candle is completely consumed, you must fold the cloth and tie it with a cord as if it were a little bag, and bury this offering somewhere, which may well be a park, a cemetery, a beach or some nearby forest. Once the offering is completely covered with earth, pour red wine above the earth.

In its oldest version, this ritual was performed directly in a small hole in the cemetery, but that is not only "inappropriate" but also unethical for many people, therefore we only use the land to take advantage of its energy that is already charged.

Each semester I recommend four (sometimes only 2) books of a holistic nature that I think would be an interesting acquisition for your library, but this year 2020 (apparently Uranus has done a very good job here) has started very well, not only with a gigantic variety of titles but also, among them there are several very attractive.

I choose these books personally based on the author's work, not in the publishing house, copies sold or "trending topic" is simply my personal recommendation of titles that I think can be interesting.

Some of these I have already read, others, I am waiting for the publication date to add them to that small bookshop next to my altar.

It will only take you five minutes to find a book you like on this list, if you have 10 minutes to review Instagram, believe me, you have five minutes to find here a good book to add to your small collection.

Four ways to empower your Clairvoyance.

Four ways to empower your Clairvoyance.

Hola Hola dear reader! Here I continue the line of the recent previous posts “My Seven Incenses”, and “Seven Combinations of Herbs & Flowers ready for your rituals”. You know that I am dedicated to practicing a rather eclectic form of sorcery, and yes, I really like to draw outside the lines, especially if this inspires others to develop their own power too, and that is a fundamental part of my personal mission.

Clairvoyance

Clairvoyance can have many interpretations, and all of them can be very confusing, each interpretation will depend on the background, study, and experience of each person, so here I will first explain to you that it is 'from my point of view' without encouragement to contradict None of my colleagues, and I will recommend some of the methods that I usually recommend to my followers, either in my books or in previous chapters of this blog.

It can be defined as an “extrasensory” faculty, ability or perception to perceive, understand or channel other realities, realities that (for different reasons) cannot be seen by all people.

These other realities may be the spiritual world, the world of dreams, limbo (inhabited by souls in the process of departure), and even other alternate realities that are less understood, or that are less accessible to our human world in general. , such as those darker worlds populated by souls in sorrow and darker creatures (the lower worlds), or according to some mediums and psychics, those worlds were the manifestations of your emotions, your fears, "demons" and others live entities

From my perspective, or at least in what I have learned, to be a shaman you must be a medium and a sorcerer (and not a medical witch who is something different), and to be a good medium (one of the good ones) what it is better than the individual is a clairvoyant, otherwise, he is only a person who is using his body to move spirits from one side to another, and that is not bad, but it is not precisely a clairvoyant.

Clairvoyants can manifest their abilities in many different ways, either entering other worlds from dreams, visualizing the future or the past in their visions, or receiving any kind of sensation beyond their main six senses (vision, smell, hearing, intuition, touch, taste).

Clairvoyance, birth or practice.

Although many clairvoyants are born with this gift and it is not long in manifesting it since childhood, others develop it as more adults, while many others have a greater difficulty in developing this quality, but that does not make it impossible, in fact, while clairvoyants born with this gift seem to have a fairly wide capacity to develop it, those individuals who learn to develop this gift over time, can develop a wide and complex variety of psychic senses as well as greater control of these, either with exercises Meditation constants or with various magical ritual methods.

Below I share some of the methods that have had the greatest results in my readers, followers, and students, you decide which of these you want to try. There are many other methods, but I have only placed here those that have been tested by different individuals and seem to have good results over time, either manifesting in dreams, or having clearer visions, and even guessing the future or developing greater empathy.

Four methods to properly empower this gift.

The most important thing you should know here are two things, the first one, that you do not feel frustrated if you do not see the results after the first few days because this is like learning to dance or sing, it is not something you learn from scratch in one day Second, constancy is everything, so be consistent and dedicate yourself to practice, the results are worth it.

Here I propose to you four different methods to empower your vision, but as always, if this post reaches 500 views, it will not take long to share other interesting tips on Astral projection, out of body experience, and the magic behind your dreams.

In each post, I also recommend a book, and as always, some products from different stores and botanicals that I recommend you try because they are very good.

The Four Ways

• Charm bag to develop clairvoyance.

• Incense to stimulate Clairvoyance.

• Magickal Oil to strengthen your spiritual vision.

• Ritual with Crystals to strengthen your clairvoyance.

Also, Several colleagues of mine are publishing some new titles, so I invite you to take a look at them, they all sound interesting, and each one of them is a special book in its own way, so take a few minutes to choose your favorite, well here is to for all tastes.

Incense to stimulate Clairvoyance

Incense to stimulate Clairvoyance.

part of the post Four ways to empower your vision.

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know that just like everyone has a background, everyone also has a magical current of practice that they prefer to follow. In my case, surely you will have noticed that my magic consists mostly in the manufacture of charm bags and other amulets, performing rituals of invocation, protection, and healing.

While others focus more on magic with candles, or on the use of crystals, I am more a follower of incense, herbs, and oils. So here I share a recipe that I like very much and which I learned from my grandmother, she, as well as a mother, make use of this incense practically every night to provide some “energetic clarity” to the environment and thus have better consultations.

To make this votive incense you just need to place in a small cauldron or on a saucer, equal parts of Camphor, Copal (resin), Frankincense, Mugwort, and Star anise. I also like to add to this mixture a piece of charcoal and some cinnamon (the latter to prevent you from channeling a bad psychic vibration), burn all this together and move the smoke around you and around the room.

This mixture cleans the energy of the place in a subtle way, allowing you to identify those negative entities and astral larvae that may be in your environment, energize your psychic capacity, and stimulate your mental clarity and clairvoyance.

You can put into practice the use of this incense every week or once a month.

A majestic and delicious fragrance to fill every corner of your home with blessings,

Magickal Oil to stimulate mental clarity & strengthen your spiritual vision.

Magickal Oil to Strengthen your spiritual vision.

part of the post Four ways to empower your vision.

I made this blend for the first time after my arrival in New York City, once you arrive in a new city where you don't know practically anyone, and worse still, you don't master the language, everything becomes quite complicated, even the names of the traditional herbs and essential oils with which I have always worked.

Now here they had other names and they were also more expensive, though, there was a greater variety here, so to fight a little with my own anxiety and clear my head to understand all the signs, prepare this blend of oils for a ritual of visualization with the full moon, to allow me to enter the spiritual world, now from the perspective of living in a new world.

If you want a more complete list of these various essential oils and their magical uses, I recommend the list in my book “The Magical Art Of Crafting Charm Bags” and “The Enchanted Formulary” by Lady Rhea.

A full moon day, mix in a glass or wood bowl, equal parts of Bergamot, Cedar, Musk, and Vetiver essential oil, add a spoonful of dried and crushed mugwort root (Artemisia Vulgaris) to the bowl to use as a channeler, especially for its qualities associated with clairvoyance and mental clarity.

Keep this blend covered and in a cool place until nightfall. Once the moon is clearly above the sky, I invite you to light five purple candles, a stick of incense of your choice, place two fingers of each hand in the oil bowl, moisten your fingers with the surface of the oil and proceed to visualize and draw a circle on the ground, all around you using oil.

With great care you inhale slowly and deeply the fragrance of the oil keeping your eyes closed, repeat this for several minutes, and visualize that circle around you taking light and starting to shine around you, everything that approaches this circle in Your environment is of your knowledge, and within this circle, everything is ready to show itself to you in all your senses.

Meditate for a few minutes with your eyes closed inside the circle, and once you're ready, store the oil in a properly sealed glass jar, keep it that way until the next full moon.


I recommend you identify with a label the bottle so that you are sure about its date and use, you can also use it to magnetize charms and talismans that require the use of this energy.

• Full Moon Ritual Incense by Omen Psychic Parlor & Witchcraft Emporium.

To stimulate your visions and the strength of your dreams, ideal for predictive dreams and clarity, especially during those magical full moon nights.

Ritual with Crystals to strengthen your clairvoyance.

Ritual with quartz to strengthen your clairvoyance.

part of the post Four ways to empower your vision.

This ritual was done very adolescent, and in each of my previous books, he made a variation of this ritual, because the more I learn and practice, the more perfected. The most important thing in this ritual is the piece of quartz that you will need.

If you are interested in a complete guide of rocks and gems for uses in magic and sorcery, I recommend you Crystal Basics: The Energetic, Healing, and Spiritual Power of 200 Gemstones by Nicholas Pearson, he is the total eminence in the correct use of these precious stones and their energies.

One day Monday, the day ruled by the moon in classical astrology and day dedicated to the spirits in the spiritualist tradition, light two white or silver candles and a myrrh incense cone. With a piece of white chalk, draw a circle on the ground, and inside the circle draw a crescent moon (symbolizing clarity in the middle of the dark).

Within the circle, and more specifically inside the moon, place a piece of crystal quartz, no larger than your hand, but no smaller than your thumb, a piece of fluorite and a piece of lapizlazuli, a teaspoon of elderflower and a glass of water.

The next thing you need to do is recite this brief enchantment, which you can use (if you wish) to inspire your own enchantment:

“The fog that has clouded my eyes now fades

The waves that move the shadows in my surroundings fade away

From now on everything is clear as water and air

From this moment I see more clearly and I understand everything ”.

After reciting the enchantment, sprinkle some of the water on the crystals with your fingertips, and leave them there until the candle flame is completely consumed.

The next thing you will do to keep these crystals together and near the bed, possibly on a table, and from time to time you can wash them using a dry panorama, with a mixture of water and essential oil of mugwort or roses.

•  Blue Sage Smudge - Wildharvested by Madame Pamita & The Parlour of Wonders

A powerful Blue Sage is excellent for healing and cleansing rituals.

It can be used to aid meditation and is not as pungent as White Sage.

Alchemy as a sacramental science, a baptism of fire, a spiritual communion and a theophanic transfiguration.

Alchemy as a sacramental science

a baptism of fire, spiritual communion, and a theophanic transfiguration.

The modern narrative tells us that alchemy, despite all its metaphysical speculations and its unbridled pretensions to transform the elements (to make gold from lead and others), was photochemistry and this is what must be rescued. With alchemy it happened, university professors tell us, something similar to what happened with astrology, which in all its madness and superstition ended up, directly and indirectly, generating astronomy, and we can discard everything magical-spiritual and stay with the chemical or physical So then, what Newton did at night in his alchemical laboratory - or his apocalyptic speculations - is just a curious story anecdote to which we should not pay much attention.

But wanting to appropriate alchemy by suggesting that it has historical value but only as an antecedent is to disarm it and steal its own quintessence. For alchemy is not a crazy project that was then redirected to the limits of scientific instrumental reason, which was saved from itself. Alchemy is part of a radically different view from that of modern science, although it shares with it its investigation of the matter. Alchemy is far from certain Platonic and Neoplatonic readings that conceive asceticism or philosophical practice as forgetfulness of the body and as a purely spiritual and celestial direction.

Well, and in this sense, it is similar to tantra and theurgy, alchemy recognizes that for the liberation or redemption of the soul and the world it is necessary to operate in the matter, either in nature as a whole or in the body of the human being. Alchemy is a spiritual science - a science of spiritualizing the world, of creating, as the apostle Paul exhorted, a soma pneumatikon - and therefore a contradiction concerning modern science, which is not science but because it is only material. In this sense, it is obvious that Western alchemy should be considered mostly as a Christian (and Islamic heterodoxy in its transition from antiquity to Renaissance Europe). Already Carl Jung studied extensively the relationship between Christ and the philosopher's loss, being the great work of alchemy in some way the alchemist's christification or, at the same time, the purification of nature - of the sin of the world - so that the spirit can incarnate and vehicular the world towards a paradisiacal state.

Jung's reading of alchemy is well known - and controversial in many ways, although not in the preponderance of Christ in the opus, this being the archetype of the god-man or deification of the alchemist. Less known is the interest in the alchemy of orthodox theologian Olivier Clément (1922-2009), a man of enormous scholarship who became interested in alchemy, cabal and oriental religions in his youth. Clément writes insightfully in his essay L'oeil du feu:

The alchemy contrary to what is repeated in the stories of science has never been, except in its most opaque aspects, a type of infantile and hesitant chemistry. It was a "sacramental" science for which material appearances had no autonomy, but only represented the "condensation" of mental and spiritual realities. Nature, when one penetrates its spontaneity and its mystery, becomes transparent: on the one hand it is transfigured under the luminosity of divine energies and on the other it incorporates and symbolizes the "angelic" states that fallen man can only experience for brief moments, listening to a piece of music and contemplating a face.

This paragraph recalls what was said by Professor Gilles Quispel, who suggested that alchemy was "the yoga of the Gnostics." However, Clément is not so quick to relate alchemy to Gnosticism and considers that in reality alchemy and Christianity grew symbiotically. In this sense, it is worth remembering that, to name just a few examples, Alberto Magno, Roger Bacon, and presumably Thomas Aquinas himself practiced this hermetic art. And Hermes Trismegisto himself had been included in the college of saints in a panel in the Cathedral of Siena.

Clément's reading hits the mark when he points out that alchemy was a sacramental science, where nature itself was seen as a temple in which to celebrate the Eucharist or some other sacrament with which man united with God, and heaven with the Earth. The word sacrament is used to translate "mystery" in Christianity. The sacrament is the encounter with the mystery; For the alchemists, nature was that living temple that contained the mystery of the redemption of the world and the resurrection of the body. And the transmutation of the elements was also a transfiguration of the alchemist, a recapitulation of the creation of the cosmos and the passion of Christ.

New Moon and Chiron in Aries +Rituals

New Moon & Chiron in Aries

Greetings and hugs full of magic and light to all my readers, you who are my real engine of work day after day.

This coming April 17, 2017, we have to be more than calm and attentive to heaven, because a series of auguries come together to announce a change of landscape and a new perspective.

First, we have the monthly restart that comes with the moon, this time in the Sign of Aries. The new moon is always the best period to sit and reflect and ponder on different projects and processes, this time suitable for our spiritual awakening is governed by the sign of courage and courage, the Sign of Aries will be the driving force of all these new processes that are about to start, if you wish to undertake any new study or project, take into account that Mercury Retrograde is also over in the coming days, so you better have everything at hand for the energy boost that is to come.

If you want to start a strict diet to lose weight, you can be sure that this is the best time for it, so prepare and buy everything you need beforehand, as we are facing a restart time that comes loaded with a good energy vibration to take us to consolidate every new project.

On the other hand, we have the same day the position of Chiron entering the sign of Aries. Chiron is a planetoid located between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus, and its name was inspired by the Centaur of Greek mythology, the forger of heroes. Chiron has as a symbol a key that opens the sky, this key represents its ability to open all kinds of doors, paths and opportunities, especially those linked to learning and the study of new sciences and arts.

The position of Chiron, which acts as a bridge between the inner and outer planets of the solar system, now entering the harsh lands of Aries, will make us move out of the comfort zone to look for new opportunities and eventually find them, where we least expect them , is also an indication of involuntary changes that come for good, for our own well-being and to calm down a little the disturbances that have been caused by the fulminating Mercury Retrograde in Aries.

Chiron as a teacher has always urged us to embrace and accept life as it is, those changes of perspective that bother us and the wounds that have not healed, due to its association with the Mythological Centaur who, even being an excellent healer, could never cure their own ills, however, their position in Aries makes us fight head-on against the injustices of life and forces us to defend ourselves with our own experience and learning.

Ritual for the New Moon / April

The new moon is a time of reflection and restart, it is the right time for those spells and rituals that allow us to cleanse the energy and go deep into some new project.

The new moon of April is in the Sign of Aries, this moon of fire has the power to knock down all kinds of obstacles on the way, never forget that these obstacles are usually potential learning opportunities, but also many times they are simply obstacles that they remain there to hinder our processes, sometimes they can also be part of our own karma, or simply a deja vu of past lives that have refused to disappear.

To eliminate these obstacles it is prudent to start with a general energetic cleaning at home, with a sage smudge or with a powerful blend of sage, myrrh and garlic skin, in case you can not get the right ingredients, you can always place several incense cones of sage or myrrh in each of the corners of each room and room of the home.

Once you light the incense, place two glasses of cold water on the floor next to the door and leave them there for several hours, in the Yoruba culture it is a strong belief that this simple ritual with water on either side of the door energizes the spirit of the home and allows you to self-clean energy, and it is a good idea to repeat this little ritual every Monday night, the night dedicated to our ancestors.

Once the home has been purified, you can carry out a calm meditation for a few minutes to focus and refocus your energies on your purposes, this will help to unblock you from mental, and most emotional, obstacles.

Now, it's time to do real magic, anoint a white candle and a black candle with a few drops of myrrh and verbena oil, write with the help of a needle or pin, two different energetic purposes in each candle, in the white candle you will write the name (or data) of that new project you are about to start, whether it is a diet, a new course or study, or a new job, so that your energy will duly illuminate and activate the energy of this project, meanwhile, in the dark candle, black, violet or brown, you write in detail the obstacles that you perceive in your path, so that your own energy weakens them, consumes and knocks down, and in this way, the new moon that is about to be born, will shine on you and will bless your new projects and processes.

A good way to complement this ritual is with a previous bath with a mixture of milk (to symbolize the food that Mother Earth gives us), a spoonful of almond oil, rose oil and lavender oil, with a pinch of sugar brunette and two spoons of honey. This bath, which is part of the recipe book of my book "Rites of Happiness" has a good energetic vibration and will recharge your energies in a good way after a long night rest, make use of this bathroom to connect again with mother earth and you can prepare it in addition For the people who live with you, let the bath rest a few hours before using it and then rinse with plenty of clean water.

Spiritual Tip

The new moon nights have a peculiar effect on the veil that separates our world from the spiritual world, allowing the souls of the deceased to manifest more easily in our environment, so it is a good idea to light a light and burn some myrrh, sage or copal next to the door to honor them and offer them calm tonight when they are closer to us.

Magic Tip (Cleaning Mirrors)

A ritual in which I always put a lot of emphasis on my various books and blogs is to keep the mirrors clean so that they can positively manifest the different auguries that are present to us along the way.

The most appropriate magical form (in my experience) is with a special preparation of Artemisia, consisting of boiling in water two bundles of mugwort with a little sage, and if possible sun-dried root of St. John's Wort ( not obligatory), let this infusion rest for a few hours and finally use it to clean the mirrors, crystal balls and divination talismans that we have at home.

Lammas, Lugnasad or Lughnasadh 2017 + Tale

Lammas, Lugnasad or Lughnasadh 2017 + Tale

Lugnasad, also called Lughnasadh or Lammas, is the name given to the time of the harvest, celebrated between the full moon of summer and winter. It reminds us that the sunny days of the summer are coming to an end. It also marks the time to meet friends and family.

Lughnasadh was started by the god Lugh (the long-haired poet, head of the Tuatha De Danann, a people of the goddess Dana, who taught them techniques for plowing, sowing and gathering wheat), as a funeral party and games commemorating His adoptive mother, Tailtiu, who died of exhaustion before clearing the Irish plains for agriculture.

During the reign of Caesar Augustus, the Romans instituted a celebration on August 1 to the emperor's genius at Lyons, a place believed to have been named after the Celtic god Lugh. Curiously, Lyon (lion) is not just a coincidence. In ancient religions, God was seen under two aspects of light and darkness, although in Lammas he was seen as two gods, one god of light and one God of darkness. These two aspects represent the two halves of light and darkness of the year.

At this time the god is losing his strength, for soon he will die. It is a moment of important reflection, as it teaches us the importance of balance in nature and in personal life. In fact, everything that is alive grows, knows decadence and prepares for death, and then reborn, completing a great cycle.

The God is born in Yule, is a boy in Imbolc, passing to adolescence in Ostara, to finish being an adult in Beltane, where it will be united again to the goddess. Litha marks the maximum splendor of the God, from that moment ira losing forces in Lammas and Mabon to finally die in Samhain.

That is why on this Sabbath, we reap the fruits of the seeds we have planted in Ostara, and from them, we will collect the seeds that will wait for the winter to be planted.

In Celtic tradition, Lugnasad is one of the most outstanding celebrations next to Imbolc (February), Beltane (March), and Samhain (October).

Druids saw in the cereal cycle not only the natural germination of a seed, but the reflection of the life cycle: birth, growth/development, and death. Engravings have been found representing straw and cereals in the Celtic necropolis, whose index of significance is both spiritual and material. It was to invoke the spirit of wheat and lure it back into the fields. The mysterious spirit of wheat and plenty were attracted and captured by a straw doll. She had an important symbolic role in the celebration of Lugnasad. "

Today it is difficult for us to understand the importance of the crops in those times since it is normal that we have necessary food, but they depended completely on the food reserves of the previous year. It is in Lugnasad the moment to remember the conservation and the good distribution of the harvest.

Tailtiu, Lugh's nurse and goddess of agriculture

According to the Book of Invasions, Tailtiu was the daughter of the King of Spain and the wife of Eochaid Mac Eirc, High King of Ireland. She survived the invasion of the Tuatha Dé Danann and became the adoptive mother of Lugh.

It is said that Tailtiu died of fatigue after clearing the fields of Ireland for agriculture. Lugh established a harvest and funerary festival (Aachen Tailteann) in his honor, which continued to be held on 1 August as Lugnasad.

Handfasting, the union of hands

For the Irish, Lugnasad was the best time to carry out the Celtic marriage. Its name was the handfasting, or union of hands, and has its origin in an old ritual in which the hands of the contracting parties are sealed thus the contract. There was also another tradition, in which they looked into each other's eyes as they took their right hands and left them forming the symbol of infinity, and surrounding them with a ribbon they were tied in a knot.

The union of hands comes from more Indo-European ancestral symbolism, in which it represents the harmonious union between man and woman since the infinity symbolizes from the antiquity two circles representing the sun (feminine symbol) and the moon (masculine symbol).

The duration of these marriages was one year and one day. At the end of this time, the contracting parties decided whether they wanted to stay together or not. It is the union between two loving beings who freely want to be together and celebrate it in a sacred ritual based on commitment and respect.

As a curiosity, it is said that this ritual of union remained in force in Scotland until 1939, as a public celebration of the union (one year and one day) before the wedding.

A little Tale

Based on many different elements of pagan folklore, I wrote a story long ago called "the grandfather, the mother and the god of light", which was originally published in Spanish as a collaboration on another blog.

To celebrate this year that has been so positive in many ways, I have created a short (very short) version that you can find and read in my Instagram CLICK HERE.

Calling Desires + Orpheus + Ritual

Calling Desires + Orpheus + Ritual

Channeling Our Desires

Each year, between the last weeks of April our sky is covered with stars, and just like every year, I make this humble invitation to be part of the magical ritual of the wishes that we make virtually between all.

The Myth of Orpheus

According to the popular myth of the Greeks, the King of Thrace, Eagro, and the muse Calliope had a son whom they called Orpheus. Orpheus was a great musician to the point of being worshiped as a god of the arts and songs, was the lover of Apollo, the solar god, who presented him with a lyre made by Hermes with the shell of a turtle as a present of his love.

One day Orpheus walked with his wife Eurydice by the river, during the walk Euridice was bitten by a snake that killed almost immediately. After this tragic event, Orfeo spent days singing songs so sad with his lyre that even the gods of Olympus and the nymphs began to cry and advised the young musician to descend to the Underworld to recover his beloved.

Making use of an oracle of the dead in the city of Aorno, Orpheus descended to the underworld where he softened the hearts of King Hades and his wife Persephone, rulers of the world of the dead, and these allowed Eurydice to return with Orpheus to the world of the Alive, under the sole condition that he should walk before her and not look back until they had reached the upper world and the rays of the sun completely bathed his beloved. As they ascended the world of the living Orpheus I can not stand the temptation and out of curiosity I look back to make sure that Eurydice followed him, in doing so he violated the only rule he had and the sad soul of Eurydice faded before his eyes, this time to always.

Orpheus spent the next three years avoiding any loving union and despising all the lovers who approached him, until one day the Maenads, the nymphs who served Dionysius, the god of wine and the feast, were offended by his attitude, Broke the musician and scattered his limbs by the sea, and it was in this way that the soul of Orpheus met again with his beloved Eurydice in the other world.

As a tribute to this tragic story, Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods collected the lyre of Orpheus and placed it in the sky as a constellation, to remind men that love transcends all the barriers of time even beyond life and death.

The Líridas

Now that you know the story you can understand the power of this rain of stars. Between April 16 and 25, every year, the rain of stars known as "líridas" occurs, being its maximum point the 22 of April. These high-speed meteors are remnants that come from 'Vega' the main star of the constellation of the lyre (the constellation of Orpheus), hence its name, said rain reaches an average of more than 30 meteors per hour, arriving in some Occasions to a hundred meteors, which eventually burn in the earth's atmosphere and become visible as streaks of light in the sky.

In modern astrology, the rain of 'lyrical' stars is also known as the night of desires, and it is appropriate to channel its energy which will be scattered throughout the sky as pure energy, which we can mold through our good wishes.

In the mythology of the Hopi Indians, they believe that the magic of their shamans and priests comes from this rain of stars, in fact, the Hopi also believe that they come from this star which they know as "The Eye of God".

In Sorcery and traditional witchcraft, the energy of walking stars (meteors and star showers) is often used to develop talismans and spells highly charged with very powerful energy vibrations. According to European folklore, the talismans made under a rain of stars are blessed by an almost unlimited source of energy, because the dust of stars is not only vibrationally charged with the energies of its star, but also with all the energy Which he has charged on his journey.

Even personally, I have mentioned in my own books the power of these walking stars and various ways to take advantage of them. Now I leave the link to the spell here below, it's a pretty simple spell, I have not changed a single step in the formula since I did the spell the first time 13 years ago. I hope you take it out and invite others to do it, do not forget to share the link.

Night of the wishes + Ritual

For any doubt consult with me in my social networks, and do not forget to share the link of this page.
Blessings and Happy rain of stars.

Making a pillow of Dreams

Making a pillow of Dreams

"Autumn, shorter days, longer nights..."

The nights are made to dream. To help us in our work with dreams, we make pillows with the traditional magical herbs that favor our children to relax, have deep dreams and then remember to share them... Younger children enjoy filling the pillow with the herbs, but the older ones prefer to carry out the whole process, from cutting the fabric boxes, sewing them, stuffing them and decorating them.

Dream pillows should not be the size of a normal pillow (we would need kilos of herbs to fill them). We can do them in two ways: a large, flat pillow, without much filler, so that your children sleep directly on them, or a smaller one, that is stored under our pillow during the day, and when it's time to sleep we put our Pillow of dreams above the regular one so as to breathe all night the magic aroma of herbs...

For a small dream pillow two pieces of 15cm x 15cm square fabric are used, the larger ones to suit your own taste. It is important to choose a natural fabric: cotton, silk or linen. Children like to choose the color or pattern, a delicious option is to recycle and look between old clothes and fabrics that we have stored, the magic result of the pillow is highened by the memory associated with that garment ... Velvet Is also the favorite of children.

With the chosen fabric and cut, we fasten with needles with good sides in the interior and face to face, sew with simple stitches, preferably manually (adding personality and emotional value when doing it entirely by hand), leaving 2.5cm (1") from the edge . The central space must be at least 7cm, once sewn, the pillow is turned over and the corners are pushed out with the aid of a pencil. Now we proceed to filling, with two generous bags of dried herbs, and including a generous amount of lavender (or another to your personal taste).

Filling options: dried lavender flowers, dried rose petals, dried chamomile flowers (which traditionally help to sleep), melissa, agrimony (helps to sleep to those with emotional problems), dry rosemary (good to remember dreams), anise (prevents nightmares), yarrow, purslane, thyme (helps in depression), chestnut leaves (to have pleasant dreams), lemon balm, clove, mint (to cause refreshing dreams that encourage rest).

Once we fill our dream pillow, we sew the opening that remains. Perhaps your children want to decorate and personalize the pillow: sewn cords, or hanging from the corners, some canvas applique sewn on the pillow with special decoration. ... When we notice that our pillow loses aroma, it is enough to shake it so that it again releases its fragrance. We can also open it and renew the herbs when it suits us.

Blessings.... Elhoim

Brief Astrological Guide 🌞 The Sun, the King Star

Brief Astrological Guide. Part I

The Sun, the King Star

The Sun is our Star par excellence, the King and vital ruler of the solar system, regent of the astrological Sign of Leo and of course one of the main gods of various ancient mythologies. The strategic location of the Sun in conjunction with different constellations of the firmament are the key point that marks the character and the personal essence of each one of us. The Sun symbolizes our inner essence as individuals, the light of the soul at the bottom of everything, the creative force, the vitality, the nobility and the strength to live each day. The fact of being the King Star a cosmic object of divine adoration from ancestral times is reflected in its characteristic zodiac sign, Leo, who wish to be the center of the events.

In Mythology it was seen mostly as a male deity of great character, and very few times as a female deity, in fact Hindus, Greeks, Chinese and Egyptians, had the Sun as one of their principal deities, usually being a Warrior, adventurer, young and strong god, endowed with enormous wisdom as is the case of Apollo, Helios, Phoebus, Suria, Hator, Quetzalcoatl, Ra and Amaterasu, just to name a few.

The Sun's mission in Astrology and witchcraft

Provide inspiration and confidence to our own inner strength. Encourage, lead and direct our potential in the right way, elevate our physical and mental senses as well as our emotions to higher planes of existence, balance and manage the magical power of individuals, guide the diviners and seers to choose and promote the right leaders.

The first New Moon of 2017 + Personal Ritual

New Moon

The ancient priests and magicians used to say that "the moon was created for the counting of days," though its light is only a pale reflection of the king star, the sun, yet it is the moon who takes the light of the sun , cleans and purifies it to reflect it on earth by exerting on it a powerful force of magnetic attraction.

Here we are ready to receive a new lunar cycle, the first new moon of this year 2017, a magical and energetically charged new moon in the Astrological Sign of Aquarius.

The new moon is the appropriate time to reflect on a project or immerse yourself in a new process, it is time for introspection and awakening. While the moon is in the sign of the water bearer and amphora, the mystical aquarius sign will give us an atmosphere highly charged with good vibes between Friday 27 and Sunday 29.

The same Friday 27 after the moon enters in the Aquarius Sign, this will become a new moon, which marks a powerful new cycle, as we will be in the presence of the first new moon of this 2017, just one day before starting the "Chinese New Year of the Rooster".

The moon in aquarius is the favorable moment to start computer courses, inaugurate technological, electronic and ecological projects, as well as repair appliances, meet new people and foster friendships. The moon in aquarius drives radical changes and favors projects linked to telecommunications, technology and information technology.

With the moon in aquarius there is a certain tendency to affective coldness, indifference, intolerance and the distraction that leads us to exercise contradictory behaviors.

Personal ritual

To release and detoxify your body from all kinds of toxins, your mind of negative emotions and your spirit of energetic obstacles, I recommend to light an incense stick of your favorite fragrance (but if you accept suggestions, I recommend some herbal incense, not fruity or woody) and perform a brief meditation of 10 to 15 minutes in a small space of your home or office, clear your mind of all kinds of negative thoughts and mentally visualize how they fade in front of you.

At the end of the meditation proceed to make an infusion of green tea with two tablespoons of cinnamon and orange peel trimmings, let the tea cool in a cup and proceed to drink it in small sips reciting before each "with each sip I free myself, with every inhalation I clean myself and with every thought I rise beyond any earthly obstacle. "

Note: If you wish, you can take note of this ritual and carry it out during each new moon, month by month.

Blessings & Happy Good Moon
