Why Me? Need Info? Here are Some Magical Methods

Ever wonder why whatever is happening in your life is happening to you? Does it seem sometimes like you have no control and you are at the mercy of chaos and chance happenings? Maybe you need some magical answers to get a grip on your life and take back control. The first thing you need to know is that as a planetary citizen you have a right to any and all information in the Universe. What you do with that information, especially if it concerns other people then falls under the Rules of the Road, but you are entitled to have the information whether you choose to use it or not and however you choose to use it. There are many magical ways to obtain information from spirit guides, higher powers and beings and even from your own Spirit. You will find many of these in our Witchcraft Spell Books series Book 4, The Complete Guide of Witchcraft Rituals & Spells for Beginners. Here are a couple to get you started.

Question Circle
To do a Question Circle you will need to gather a sun yellow candle on a plate or enclosed in glass, paper or wooden matches, pen, and paper. You may also need a compass to help you figure out the cardinal directions of east, south, west, and north. Then follow these directions:

1. Light your yellow candle with your matches.

2. Take your candle, pen, and paper to the east quarter of your circle and sit there facing the outside of the circle (facing east). Ask the Winds of Knowledge what you need to know about your situation, and get quiet inside as you wait for the answer. Be prepared to write down everything that comes to you. Don't think about it, just write. Keep writing until you no longer receive information. Thank the Winds of Knowledge and move to the next step.

3. Get up and move to the south quadrant of your circle, and sit there facing the south. Ask the Winds of Power to show you what actions you need to take for your situation. Again, write any answers that come to you. Thank the Winds of Power.

4. Move to the west quadrant and sit facing west. Ask the Winds of Feeling what emotional shifts you need to make regarding your situation. You may also want to ask for spiritual enlightenment. Thank the Winds of Feeling, and then move to the next quarter.

5. Move to the north, and sit facing north. Ask the Winds of Strength how you can build a foundation for the future you want. Ask for practical guidance about your situation. Thank the Winds of Strength.

6. Now that you have consulted the Winds of each direction, move back to sit at the center of your circle and sit facing east. Read through the answers you wrote that came to you from each direction. Slowly let all the information sink in and reflect upon it. You may want to repeat the question circle several times, at different times, until you get the clarity you need on your situation.

Getting Answers from Yourself
Our life experiences are like a school in which we have set up a number of problems so that as we go through our lives we discover ourselves by discovering the answers. For example, if you find that you keep encountering the same kind of problems over and over again in just different situations or with different people, then that should give you a clue that there is a lesson there for you to learn. Here is a magical technique to use to get answers from your own Spirit.

• Get a sheet of paper and write down the question that you would like to have answered using your dominant hand to write with. For example you might ask what lesson you are to learn from your current situation.
• Then switch your pen or pencil to your other hand (non-dominant hand) and write the first thing that comes to you. Do not stop to think about the question or the answer, just write.
• If you do not get an answer that makes sense right away, don't fret. Just hold the question or any answer you got in your consciousness over the next several days and see if anything comes to you that clarifies it. Information often comes in small pieces at a time so that we can digest it better. It may be only a partial answer at this point and more will come as you are ready for it.

Now you know a way to get answers from higher powers and from your own Spirit as to why conditions are the way they are in your life. You have a right to this information and it can help you decide if there is something you can learn from the situation or if you want to make a change. Take control of your life magically starting with getting the information you need to make a good choice for yourself.

Need to Dump a Chronic Health Problem Magically? Try This...

There are many techniques to magically deal with health problems, but many of them require some knowledge or foundation of magic. For example, to balance your energy, you have to know about the four elements, their characteristics, how to flow or dump those energies and maybe how to flow them through their associated magical tools. Here's one of the techniques from our Daily Rituals for Attracting What You Want in Life ebook that you can try though without any magical background.

This technique is especially good for those who like physical activity and/or enjoy getting out in nature. You take your chronic health problem and literally throw the symptoms away. Here's how:

1. Go for a walk in the woods, a park, along the beach, or anywhere you are sure to find some rocks and preferably one that has some body of water in it.

2. Take a strong bag or some other object you can use to carry rocks in.

3. You've probably guessed now that the next step is to pick up rocks on your walk. Don't just randomly pick up rocks though. Pick up one rock for each of the symptoms you display for the chronic health problem you want to get rid of and put it in your bag.

4. Don't hurry the process, think through your specific health problem and all the physical symptoms, mental symptoms, the inconvenience or worries it causes for you and any other negative condition that surrounds this problem. For each one you think of pick up a rock and put it in your bag.

5. Now find a body of water such as a lake, the ocean, or a pond in your nature walk area.

6. Standing by the body of water take one rock at a time out of the bag.

7. Hold the rock in your output hand (the hand you naturally point with), focus your intention on the rock and feel yourself flowing one of the negative conditions you thought of earlier into the rock. Do this until the rock feels changed energetically in some way. It may feel tingly or warmer.

8. Then throw the rock as far as you can into the body of water feeling yourself let it go.

How Does It Work?
That's it! Sounds simple, right? It is and now for the magic lesson behind this technique. What you have just done is called simulacra or voodoo magic. You have formed a correlation or psychic connection between a physical object (the rock) and the condition (physical symptom, emotion, thought...). Simulacra or voodoo magic works that same way. You are probably familiar with the term voodoo doll. Well, that is a simulacra of a person. You form a correlation by "keying" the doll to a particular person and then whatever you do to the doll affects the person the doll is keyed to.

To avoid karmic backlash you want to be very careful with what you do to a keyed voodoo doll and make sure you are acting in accordance with the laws that govern magical practice. As another caution, be sure when you are picking your rocks that you don't key them to a specific person or other living thing that could drown when thrown in the lake. For example, if your boss is stressing you out at work which has led to your chronic health condition, don't make one of the conditions you flow into a rock your boss. Instead flow in the emotions you have about it like resentments, fears, and angers or the tasks your boss is assigning to you that stress you out or even the attitude of your boss, but NOT your boss him or herself. The same holds true if your condition centers around a body part or organ. Don't key the rock to the organ or body part, but rather the symptom or emotions you have about the problem with the organ. Once you throw the rock in the water the correlation or psychic connection you formed is severed. According to the laws of simulacra magic, this also severs your connection to the condition the rock was connected to. You can see now why you wouldn't want to have a rock keyed to an organ or part of your body. You certainly don't want to sever your liver or your arm from yourself!

An alternative to throwing the rocks in a body of water is to bury them in the ground and let Mother Earth cleanse them. Leave them there for at least one moon cycle. Whichever way you choose, you now know a magical way to help you deal with a chronic health problem and have discovered that whether you knew it or not, you do know magic.

Need a Magical Hammer to Bust Through That Glass Ceiling at Work?

If you think you've hit a glass ceiling at work and see nowhere and no way to move up you may need a little magical intervention. There are jobs that by their design there really is nothing higher to move up to, but if there is room for promotions and raises and advancement that you just can't seem to get, it may be the problem is that you THINK you've hit the glass ceiling. Our thoughts, ideas and what we think lead to what we attract to our lives. If you mind thinks you aren't going to advance then you probably won't. There are magical ways however to get your mind out of the way and start attracting what you want to have in your life. You'll find lots of advanced, fun magical help in this area in our How To Do Voodoo ebook and our Kindle Book Learn How to Do Witchcraft Rituals and Spells with Magical Tools. Here are a couple of examples.

Pendulum Clearing
Staying connected to Spirit is essential to attracting what you really want in your life. Any spell that quiets the mind or puts us in touch with physical sensation will bring us into contact with Spirit. Using the pendulum to clear problems or snags in your life is a great magical technique. For this situation, you'd want to clear your belief that you will not advance at work or clear whatever has been preventing you from advancing if you know specific things that have contributed to it. Here's how:

1. Hold your pendulum in your dominant hand, letting it dangle while you visualize the problem you want to clear. 
2. Ask your pendulum using a yes/no indicator plate, "Can I, may I, should I, clear this situation?" If you get a yes answer from your pendulum, then you can get started. 
3. Begin swinging your pendulum in a counter clockwise direction (the direction of unwinding), asking it to clear the situation. As you do this, "see" the situation resolving in your mind. Be very specific with your request and what you envision as to the situation being resolved. 
4. Continue to focus on clearing the situation until your pendulum stops spinning in the counter clockwise direction. It will then either start moving along a vertical or horizontal axis, stop, or start spinning clockwise. 
5. When it stops swinging counter clockwise on its own then the problem has been cleared. 

Of course, once a problem has been cleared, you might unconsciously bring it back by worrying about it. Trust the power of your pendulum and your intent, and release the problem from your consciousness. If you find it seeping back into your consciousness throughout the day, change your focus to something else. 

Come Alongs
Come Alongs are a magical technique to help you attract what you want to bring into your life. They are not quite as powerful as a candle spell, but are a good way for those who don't have much magical background to get started. Here's how you do it:

1. You will need a keyed plate (magical tool of the element Earth) and a magnet or Sun Yellow candle. If you do not have a formally keyed plate, there is a quick key method beginners can use:

• Place your hands on either side of the Plate 
• Grip the Plate with your thumbs on the top surface of the Plate and the rest of your fingers supporting the underside of the Plate.
• Look at a Grass Green Earth energy color source and begin flowing Grass Green energy from your dominant hand (hand you naturally point with) through the Plate into your other hand
• Keep the energy flowing up your arm, across your shoulders, down the arm of your dominant hand and out your output hand again
• Circulate Grass Green for about three minutes, then pull your Earth energy back into your body. 
• You will know the plate is keyed when it feels slightly tingly, heavy, warm or loaded or definitely different than before you keyed it in some way.

2. You will also need to write a set of directors and limiters. This is a very important step, so please read the article on what to include in your directors and limiters. Then write a list of them on paper.

3. Now that you have a written list of directors and limiters, place them on your keyed plate.

4. You can now choose to use either a Sun Yellow candle or a magnet for this step.
     a. Charge the candle with the verse:

"Child of wonder, child of flame
Nourish my Spirit and bring my aim!"

Then place the candle on top of your written list on your plate and leave it burning for about an hour. According to the amount of force and energy you need for what you are trying to attract, you may need to relight and charge the candle much more than just one time. Be sure to use fire safety precautions while the candle is burning so that it does not ignite the paper or anything else.

     b. Using a magnet is another way to do this step. If you cannot be in the area to keep an eye on your lit candle then this may be a preferable method. You can also leave it set up on your plate and not have to do multiple sessions. Simply place a large magnet on top of the list on your keyed plate to draw what you have specified on paper to you.

Take control of your own life by learning how to attract the things you want. You don't have to wait around for a boss to discover your potential. Just a little magic in your life can be like a hammer to help you bust through those glass ceilings.

Relationship Magic: Take the Guesswork Out of Pleasing Your Partner

For many different reasons, you know people do not always say exactly what they mean or what they want, but using relationship magic can help you have true conversations and take the guesswork out of what your partner really wants. Using your psychic skills, you can communicate with others on a spirit to spirit basis or "read" what the other person really wants in a relationship. There are many different magical techniques that can facilitate a spirit to spirit communication such as using a water bowl or firebowl. You can also develop your psychic abilities to the point that you will be able to "read" others and sense what your partner truly wants.

Learning to Read People Psychically
Here is an exercise that will help you start developing your psychic abilities in learning to "read" other people. Don't get caught up on finding out if your descriptions are right or wrong. At this point there is no right or wrong. Right now you are just practicing tuning in with your psychic powers and psychic abilities instead of your usual five senses or mind chatter. The only goal right now is to practice. The more you practice and get used to using your Spirit abilities the more your observations will improve. So, relax and get ready to start practicing this exercise:

1. Get a pen, paper and a timer or watch.

2. Go to a public place that has lots of people. Restaurants, airports, malls, or a public park are all good places. If you cannot get out then turn the sound off on your TV and use the people you see on it.

3. Pick a comfortable place to sit and where you will not feel self-conscious or obvious. If you feel like you will "stick out" or think others will think you odd for looking at them, this can interfere with the exercise.

4. Pick a person that you are going to observe for 30 seconds.

5. Set your timer for 30 seconds or note the time on your watch and note the time you will stop 30 seconds later.

6. Start writing anything and everything that you can about the person you are observing. Some things you write will be things that can be observed by your 5 senses such as hair color, heavy or thin, type of clothing, or what activities they are doing. The key here is not to think about what you are writing, just write. Do not pause in your writing and write as much as you can, as fast as you can in your 30 second period. This will help you override "mind" and the physical 5 senses observations so that some of your observations will include things you cannot have observed with your 5 senses like that the person has a sensitive nature or has four brothers and works indoors.

7. After your 30 seconds is over, pick another person to observe, set your timer and repeat the process of writing about this person for 30 seconds.

8. Repeat this process until you have observed 10 different people for 30 seconds each over a 5 minute period.

Developing your psychic abilities is a great place to start with relationship magic. Doing exercises such as this one and others you will find in our Psychic Development ebook will allow you to access information that can guide you in a relationship or give you information to help you decide if this is maybe not a relationship you want to pursue. Remember to follow the Rules of the Road and that you have the right to gather information that you can't access with your five senses as long as you stay in accordance with these rules. Unless you are one of those people who have been blessed with a natural psychic gift, you will need to practice, practice, practice exercises such as this one before you start getting reliable results using your psychic abilities. Don't worry though, you have them... everyone does. You just need to get yours out, dust them off and put them to work for you.

Relationship Magic: Are You An Earth Personality?

In our last blog article we discussed relationship magic in relation to the Water element personality. This article focuses on the Earth element personality. Gaining knowledge about the 4 elements and which of them is most predominant in your personality can give you a greater understanding into your relationships with others. Relationship magic begins with an understanding of the characteristics of your predominant element. With this knowledge, you can gain insight into your own personality which can lead you to choosing a career and relationships that you will be successful in. If you know what element your personality is, then you can balance with other elements when needing to interact with a person of an incompatible element or to accommodate for certain situations. You can also know what people are good matches with you by determining their elemental make-up.

The Earth Element
In magic, one of the basic principles is that almost everything in the Universe is made up of a combination of the 4 elements: Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. With an understanding of the 4 elements and their characteristics you can understand anything in the Universe. That includes your basic personality and your relationships. You can learn more about the Earth element in our Magical Element Earth short course. To get you started, here are some of the basic characteristics associated with the Earth element:

strength, money, foundation, endurance, structure, mundane world, serenity of beingness, solidity, boundaries, permanence, land, commerce, products, confidence, loyalty, persistence, stubbornness, fortress, security, anchor, barter, substance, body, base, possessions

The Earth Personality
After reading the above characteristics of the Earth element, look at them in relation to your own personality, relationships and interactions. Do any of these sound like personality traits that you exhibit? If you are an Earth personality you are a practical and pragmatic person. You are a down to earth person with much strength, endurance, patience and persistence. Structure, boundaries, loyalty and permanence are things that you value. Earth personalities are often good at commerce and build strong foundations in their relationships and lives. Earth people are great manifesters and builders and do well in situations that they can add structure to. They want to know how things work and often fool around with improving everything. They are solid people that others drift to in uncertain times or see as an anchor or a "rock" and very often are very serene people. The challenge for Earth people is not getting stuck in a rut. Their desire for stability can often lead to stubbornness and inflexibility. They err on the side of caution, make decisions slowly and usually avoid taking risks. Another challenge for Earth people is their tendency to get bogged down with too many materials possessions, especially large ones. 


The Road to Success With an Earth Element Personality
Earth personalities will do well in roles and situations that allow them to exercise their practicality and love of structure. Careers that emphasize stability, strength, loyalty and long-term dedication will be the most successful. Earth people should avoid situations with lots of quick change and too much risk taking. A good challenge for an Earth person however is in learning to take some risks periodically.

Finding out your elemental personality type is the first step in relationship magic. This article should give you a pretty good idea as to whether you are predominantly an Earth Personality type. To get a more specific typing of your elemental personality, take our Four Element Personality Test HERE and find out more about four element and mixed elemental personality types in our ebook Energy Healing for Self and Others.
