Mini Magic



Here's three spells to keep you busy...remember they won't work unless they are supposed to. Magic ritual just speeds up the process!



What you need to get started:

An appropriate tumbled crystal with a flattish side as noted below with sufficent parchment to wrap it in.

You will also need some enamel paint (nail varnish comes to mind) to impose the runic symbol on the crystal. When dryed, you can begin.

You may also like to have a small pouch to keep your magic safe.



1. Happiness

Carefully paint the Runic symbol, Wunjo on your carnelian or a citrine (orange/yellow crystal) for it to become positively charged. To finish the spell you have to find a quiet time by yourself, light a candle if you wish and proceed to write 'I am happy regardless of circumstances' and your name on the magic parchment enclosed.
Hold the talisman on the parchment in cupped hands and think intensely about being happy and full of vitality and say "My talisman is my key to happiness, I now feel joy".
Carefully wrap the parchment around the talisman and place them in the pouch. Keep them safely with you until the results are obtained.


2. Love

The Runic symbol, Gifu on the rose quartz or any pink crystal enables it to become positively charged. To perform the spell you have to find a quiet time by yourself, light a candle if you wish and proceed to write the person's name or 'someone to love me' on the magic parchment enclosed.
Hold the talisman on the parchment in cupped hands and think intensely about your loved one. Say "My talisman is my key to love, I now attract the one I desire".
Carefully wrap the parchment around the talisman and place them in the pouch. Keep them safely with you until the results are obtained.



3. Money

Apply the Runic symbol, Feoh on your aventurine or a green crystal for it the become positively charged. To perform the spell you have to find a quiet time by yourself, light a candle if you wish and proceed to write the amount you need or simply, 'business success' on the magic parchment enclosed.
Hold the talisman on the parchment in cupped hands and think intensely about the money and say "My talisman is my key to success, I now attract wealth and prosperity".
Carefully wrap the parchment around the talisman and place them in the pouch. Keep them safely with you until the results are obtained.

Good luck! ..here's one I did earlier:

Esoteric: Out of sight but still in the mind

A recent trip to the Natural History Museum (London) reminded me of the definition of esoteric: knowledge known only to the few. Exoteric is ‘common knowledge’. The Coelacanth was deemed by the west to be an extinct fossil fish until its discovery off the east coast of S African coast in 1938. The locals knew it existed and were fishing it. That is, the minority knew about it, the majority didn’t.

In the shorter term, I first saw the Coelacanth in the museum a few decades ago. It disappeared from view but I still knew it existed. On every visit I would try to locate it. Just last week I found it proudly displayed in the main atrium. At last, it was back on public display. (And while a thick layer of dust covered the blue whale, the dinosaur display was much improved suiting more adult, inquiring minds than their previous ‘kids playground’ show.)

Esoteric has become exoteric.

So an esoteric reflection on everything – just because we don’t have proof (know) of things doesn’t mean it is not a part of reality.

Canth thee seal what I mean?
