Magic & Sorcery for Beginners with me (Part II).

Sorcery for Beginners II

For those who wonder this.

Hugs to you who wander here, through this tiny and prosperous virtual corner that does not stop growing. Last week I published the first part of this series (CLICK HERE TO READ IT), and I promised to share the second part this week with three very simple rituals that I personally suggest and invite all my teachers/followers to do.

While these are very simple rituals, they fulfill the necessary purpose for each and every one of the practitioners along the way. Also, here I will share some other tips that I suggest to my followers, readers, and magicians in general.

In this post you will find:

• Three Essential Rituals for new magicians.
• Information about online stores and my recommendations.

• The first three rituals.

Here I put the rituals that I personally suggest everyone perform when they are beginning in magic and sorcery. Combining here two important elements that many more advanced practitioners forget to teach, intention and purpose.

• The new moon ritual.

The first night of the nearest new moon, light a white candle and an incense stick of your favorite herbal or floral fragrance. Close your eyes, place both hands on your chest, and breathe deeply and slowly three times while keeping your eyes closed.

Make use of this moment of calm to clear your mind, focus your energy, feel the movement of air in your environment, channel the energy around you. This is what I like to call a sacred moment, a moment of connection with the most sacred in you, yourself, your spirit, your soul and your own energy.

That moment of complete silence, with each slow breath you take, a part of yourself is trying to reach others, so for a moment, your physical body, your mind, and your spirit are synchronized connecting as one.

Then open your eyes, place both palms of your hands open in front of you, visualize the flame of the candle and let the energy flow from your hands to the fire. If you have not done it before, with this exercise that “first emanation of energy” that you do, is essentially the energy blocks that you are releasing yourself. It is as if you were consciously releasing the stagnant water from a well in order to reach the treasure at the bottom (your own energy).

At the end of this ritual, you will feel exhausted, maybe a little dizzy and it is normal, you have just completely drained a huge part of your energy that was acting like an old skin soaked by time. Since then, just as when your body discards everything it no longer needs, you will absorb much new cleaner energy with the new moon.

• The personal Charm bag.

Yes, I wrote a whole magical book on Charm bags (CLICK HERE) because it is one of my favorite forms of sorcery, is practical, intimate, easy to load, use and recharge, especially suitable for beginners. And as your magic and learning become more complex, your rituals and amulets will be too.

I always recommend to my followers to choose a Monday night to perform this talisman. With a mixture of thick salt and rosemary, perform a ritual circle of three feet to six feet in diameter, in the center of the circle burn a little incense, light a red candle, also place a saucer with salt and a glass with water.

Fill a sack of felt fabric with a small piece of amber, a piece of crystal quartz, a strand of your hair tied with red ribbon, some cinnamon powder, white sage and bay leaves.

Bless this amulet within the circle by making prayer out loud to your personal pantheon. Close the cloth bag with everything inside and keep it close to you, either under your pillow at night or in your wallet during the day.

This little talisman will give you greater confidence in your power, unlock your magic skills and also protect you against the envy, the evil eye and the evil intentions of the people in your environment.

• Smudge the place

I always recommend it, use the method of your choice, I like to combine equal parts of sage, palo santo, frankincense, and eucalyptus in a cauldron, I set it on fire, and I move it throughout the house as a votive incense for the spirits.

This combination cleans the energy in the place, changes the eonic vibration of the environment, raises your mood, and drives away evil spirits.

I personally clean my house with this method every Monday and Thursday in the morning. You can simply use sage incense or holy stick in the corners. You can clean with a mixture of rose water and clean water from a nearby river with a few drops of holy stick oil, or rub a handkerchief moistened with sage oil and myrrh in the door and window frames.

About the new age and esoteric Stores:

Although I always choose to suggest to my followers that they acquire their implements for the practice of magic and sorcery in a nearby esoteric or botanical shop, sometimes these can be, or more distant than desired, or many times they are more expensive than online stores.

For no reason, I am going to recommend you to use Amazon, but if you are a regular Online shopper, if I am going to suggest here a brief list of online store options in which I personally usually acquire some products, or I simply know their owners and them that these are trusted magicians and sorcerers who do a good job.

If with something I am very critical it is with the magic stores, I like to distinguish properly the Botanics (more focused on voodoo, hoodoo and folk magic), the esoteric stores (where the fort is the books, tools, and workshops live) and the boutiques (more influenced by the new age movement). So here I will leave for you the links to my favorites and most recommended, if you are a blog reader, you have an online store (not phone shop) and you want to be added here, please let me know.

• Parlor of Wonders by Madame Pamita.
• Hex Old World Witchery by Christian Day.
• Omen Salem by Christian Day.
• Auset Gypsy by Auset Gypsy.
• Catland in Brooklyn, NY.

In the third post (next week) I will write about... 

• My experience with online communities.
• About fairs, events and workshops live.

And remember, you are not reading this from the vision and perspective of an expert but from another seeker of power and wisdom like you.

Magic & Sorcery for Beginners (part I).

For those who wonder this.

• Magic & Sorcery for Beginners (part I).

• What do I teach my newest students/teachers?

• Tools they will need.

• My online groups.

What do I teach my newest teachers from scratch?

Hugs to you who have arrived here, I will start this with a brief personal anecdote before really getting into the matter. Like all posts in my blog, this is something entirely personal, based on my own experience and background, I do not seek to make corrections to the methods of others or impose my format on anyone, simply this is the way I, completely spontaneously, I learned to do things and I have improved them, but I'm still in a constant learning process.

The anecdote

Recently I (Elhoim Leafar) received a text message on my smartphone, this person got my phone number on one of my pages, it is not difficult to believe taking into account that I have many of my teachers (so I call my students because that's what they are) in my WhatsApp and also in a community group on Telegram where I share weekly notes, recipes, spells, spells, information about the moon phases, dates of my workshops and online sessions, etc.

This individual is an older person who has decided for some time to enter the world of magic and sorcery, is in Canada, the neighboring country, and asks me certain questions about it. With so many more qualified people than me out there (or often simply more popular), it always amazes me when people come to me, because from my perspective, I am perhaps the least qualified for it, however, my group of online teachers It does not stop growing, so I still receive everyone with a lot of love.

Because I am accustomed to this process, I have more or less a guide of steps that I always share with these people, I keep them in order, and I know that they, usually after six or eight months take their separate path and start to their way, so during those first months I like to teach them everything that is in my possibilities, recommend good books, and even invite them to participate as part of my online tribe.

My first teacher

My first teacher was Juan Diego Albares, in San Antonio de Los Altos, Venezuela. I was barely 21 years old, I wasn't qualified for it, and to be honest I still don't feel that I am. But this person came to me through an online platform, came to my page where I offered (at that time) sessions of spiritualism and divination, and once a year, trips to the Amazon for the realization of ayahuasca sessions, ceremonies of cocoa and rituals for the opening of the "third eye" or "eye of the native god."

This young man, barely a few years younger than me, sought some spiritual advice, and although I made it clear that I was not a professional in the field, he simply told me "teach me what you know about magic." During the following years, and even today, Juan Diego is still one of the members of my tribe, he consults with me only (of course he receives a special price) and we talk every two weeks, we organize distance rituals and he directs my small circle of magicians in Venezuela. Juan is highly qualified to carry out these tasks, and after a while, I have learned more than my own.

The first ten things that I always teach to all who come to me as a guide are:

1. Learn from everyone, and never stop learning.
2. Be always humble because you will always be learning.
3. Keep your altar lit and tidy.
4. Keep your space or room clean every day.
5. Invest a lot in your knowledge and practice.
6. Tell me brother, tell me friend, tell me uncle, don't tell me teacher.
7. Love everything you do, and do it all with Love.
8. Don't be afraid to ask for help, don't be afraid to ask for advice.
9. Do not teach others anything that you have not practiced.
10. Do not do to others (especially with magic) something that you would not want for yourself.

And I always ask my teachers to buy the following implements:

• Candles and incense, for their rituals.
• White sage, and eucalyptus, to burn as incense.
• A white notebook and pens, to create your spellbook.
• Bay leaves, so you never lack wealth in your wallet.
• Crystal quartz, for our monthly meditation rituals.

The first steps I always suggest:

• The realization of various symbols and specific writings in the notebook, this information was sent entirely privately to each individual.
• Clean and order your personal space (bedroom, house or apartment) with sage and eucalyptus incense.
• Join my meditation group on Telegram or Add me on Whatsapp to receive all the information.
• Provide me with your personal information to add to my ritual of blessings that I perform at home every Sunday night and every Monday morning.
• Send me pics of the books of magic you have with you (if you have some) to know what kind of practice your learning, and from there I will understand your steps in the magic.
• I suggest you subscribe to a small list of various blogs (Hispanic, Spanish and American) with very good writers so that they learn from different points of view, we can also discuss in our online groups some of these articles.

The first ritual

The ritual with the new moon that I share with my followers is practically obligatory, this is practically a dictatorship in the whole event (something I learned from living so many years in a Socialist / Communist government). It's a joke !, but yes, the ritual with the new moon is extremely simple and is a mandatory practice that I like to promote in my circles, not only to take them to immediate practice but also to fertilize their magical abilities.

We perform this ritual with each new moon, it is simple, it will not take more than five minutes, and I consider it necessary.

What happened to the WhatsApp group?

For those who were part of my previous group on WhatsApp, this group was eliminated in October 2019, because many of the participants were there essentially to steal our group ideas blatantly and apply them separately, or to share links to book galleries illegally distributed.

For these reasons the group was faded, and so far we have not created another one, but I still receive contacts daily on my Telegram/Whatsapp, if you have one of these two applications (preferably Telegram) you can request my number personally and I will include you in our next group/tribe / online coven.

Who are welcome to be part of my small group?

We are extremely exclusive, excessively exclusive, so much so, that we only admit humans of all colors, races and religious beliefs here.

Who are not welcome to be part of my small group?

As in all places of the universe, certain rules must be maintained, so individuals who come here to hurt or offend other members of the group, any individual who commits an act of discrimination or racism against others, are immediately blocked, and people who share links to pages that promote the illegal distribution of products.

NEXT POST:

In the second post (next week) I will include in detail the first three rituals that I suggest everyone performs when they are beginning in magic and sorcery.

And remember, you are not reading this from the vision and perspective of an expert but from another searcher like you.
