Magickal Arts: Charging Crystals and Oils

This is four part video series from Rob Cutter, explaining how to use and charge crystals and oils. In previous post titled What does charging mean? How do you charge something?, I briefly explained the notion of charging. It is always good to have different perspectives, so here is it. I think that his explanations are more comprehensive than mine.

Psychic self defense and higher realms

A seven part video series from Rob Cutter about protecting yourself from negative entities, spirit communion.

Briefly, this is about psychic defense. When you are engaged in magickal practice, you will encounter a few entities sooner or later. You may not interfere to entities at all since your school of magick or what you find right for yourself may not include the use and communication of and with entities. However, we have the ability to create and call upon many astral creatures all the time. Therefore, it is not only important for people who engage in magick through entities but also important for many people to know how to protect themselves from negative energy, evil, eye, bad luck, bad vibes, whatever you want to call it.

It is also necessary to protect yourself if you engage in doing psychic readings. Some psychic readings are done through entities. Sometimes this happens even while the psychic is unaware of the fact that she or he is in fact communicating with such entities.

Techniques of protection is also good to know in case of possessions or ghosts, etc.

Creating thought-forms

Thought forms are astral entities. Wikipedia defines thoughtforms as:

A thoughtform is a manifestation of mental energy, also known as a 'tulpa' in Tibetan mysticism. The concept of thoughtforms is related to the Western philosophy and practice of magick.

Thoughtforms are also known as egregores. The most famous thoughtform is Golem. The definition of Golem in Wikipedia is as follows:

In Jewish folklore, a golem (גולם, sometimes, as in Yiddish, pronounced goilem) is an animated being created entirely from inanimate matter. In modern Hebrew the word golem literally means "cocoon", but can also mean "fool", "silly", or even "stupid". The name appears to derive from the word gelem (גלם), which means "raw material".

Imaginary friends, demons, genies (islamic hawass), ghosts may be considered as thoughtforms too. In my humble opinion, I think that many Gods and Goddesses can be considered as thoughtforms too.

Below are a four part video series by Rob Cutter. He explains the creation methods of thoughtforms and he also tells his own story about it. In his experience, one night he saw his creation manifest into physical reality.

Challenge your reality, challenge your magick

Here is another video series by Rob Cutter. In this five part series he explains the reality shift a magician has to achieve. Rob Cutter has really very explanatory videos.

His ideas and explanations will surely make your magickal practice much more easier than before. Well, if your deep into chaos magick, discordia, etc. you may not find enough humor in his style but anyway. He knows what he is saying.

Please let me know if there are any issues with videos, I mean technically.

In order for REALITY to be shaped by magick it must first be understood for what it is. A person cannot change what is not understood. CHALLENGE YOUR PERCEPTION OF REALITY!

Why magick works and why it doesn't?

Below is a video (46 minutes) by Rob Cutter. He explains why and how magick works and why not when it doesn't.

There is an underlying CORE of mechanics for why magick either works or doesn't. The truth is, it ALWAYS works, just not in the way you may have intended. But in order to make it work, you must understand WHY it works.

He also shows his candle magick and also explains the importance of colors as well as chakras. He explains the connection between your chakras and colors that are used for candle magick.

He insists on the idea that magick occurs mentally, primarily. Thus thinking creates a change in the physical world.

Here is the video. I'll try to answer questions in comments, if any.

Magickal Arts: Working With Sigils

Here is a three part video series from Rob Cutter. He tells how to work with sigils. His technique is very simple and very easy to do. Of course the difficult part always lies in your subconscious thoughts.

This kind of sigil magick is something unique to chaos magick. It is introduced by Austin Osman Spare. When you look at the sigil magick entry in wikipedia, you can see this:

In modern uses, the concept was mostly popularized by Austin Osman Spare, who published a method by which the words of a statement of intent are reduced into an abstract design; the sigil is then charged with the will of the creator. Spare's technique, now known as sigilization, has become a core element of chaos magic. The inherently individualistic nature of chaos magic leads most chaos magicians to prepare and cast sigils in unique ways, as the process of sigilization has never been defined rigorously and the magician is expected to 'fill in the blank spots' by his or her self. Sigils are used for magical spells as well as for the creation of thoughtforms.

In some schools of magick, unlike Rob Cutter tells below, people also exclude vowels when making sigilization.







If you wish to use sigil magick for the purpose of relationships and love, don't forget to concentrate on the positive. Work with something like "Jane and I are very happy together" as an affirmation. Or to be more specific, you can also use an affirmation like "I am very happy with the Kevin's birthday present to me".

Happy studies.
