Candles, that i have so far.

Just informing my friends of what i have, in case someone needs me to light a candle for them.


... i wish that my incense, candles and crystals work as Lama Ole Nydahl wants.

... but i also wish that witch/wiccan friends have something to say about uses and goals of these candles as well.

FAUN - Walpurgisnacht.


Dancing in a forest clearing, days and nights, by fire - so pagan, so witchy.

Connection with Nature, with Earth, Sun and Moon.

... :)


Herbal Incense & Elements.

About.

... i wanted to buy incense sticks associated with elements (Air, Water, Fire & Earth), and it was hard to find something at reasonable price.

So i've digged in the internet and tried asking in witchcraft's chat that i am in, asked for association between herbs and elements.


List.

Fire: rosemary / pl: rozmaryn /, allspice, nutmeg, juniper, peppermint, grains of paradise,
Water: heather, jasmine, lotus / pl: kwiat lotosu /, vanilla, tansy, lemon, rose, violet, ylang-ylang, chamomile,
Air: lemongrass, sage / pl: szałwia /, lavender / pl: lawenda /, parsley, bergamont,
Earth: honeysuckle / pl: wiciokrzew /, mugwort, cypress, ferns, horehound.

Witchcraft-related Incense (Sticks & Cones), that I have so far.

Just informing my friends of what i have, in case someone needs me to burn incense for them.


Beside these, i have some buddhism-related incense.

... i wish that my incense, candles and crystals work as Lama Ole Nydahl wants.

... but i also wish that witch/wiccan friends have something to say about uses and goals of this incense as well.


So far, i have (sticks):
- Protection (about 5 packs),
- Wizard's Spell (about 1 pack, for general purpose magick - like a white candle,
    also for metamagick - divination, transforming, redirecting, countering spells etc),
- Witch's Curse (about 4 packs, for attacking),
- Fairy Mist (about 2 packs ... mist obscures perceptions).
    Can hide about anything - hiding spellcasting, hiding people, hiding auras, hiding bank balance, etc,
- Fairy Dreams (about 1 pack - fulfilling wishes in dreams).
    Reality can be perceived as our shared dream too,
    ... but what about perceiving Reality after Enlightenment?,
- Opium (about 1 pack - in my case it's offering to Allah for when we need to deal with Muslims).
    Are religions opium for masses?
- Ivory Lace (4 sticks left - element of air, consciousness, understanding, memory or communication).
- Dark Fairy (about 1 pack - attracts attention of unseelie fey).
    She's beautiful, cold, seductive, wise, has power and can cast spells.
    She's a spirit or godess that witches, wise women follow,
- Dragon's Blood (about 1 pack - awakens inner dragon in someone, conjures ancient wisdom).
    While mentally, magically and physically powerful and wise, is greedy and easy to anger,
- Dragon's Fire (about 1 pack - invokes greed, fear, awe, fascination and/or anger to someone).
    Can also be used to attack with lethal fire.
- Vampire's Kiss (about 2 packs - drains from someone something).
    for example: lifeforce, power, feelings, wealth, memories, perceptions, etc.
- Lavender / (about 2 packs - Element of Air).
    (en: 'lavender' is pl: 'lawenda').
- Lotus (about 2 packs - Element of Water).
    (en: 'lotus' is pl: 'kwiat lotosu').
- Rosemary (about 4 packs, but with 8 sticks in each instead of usual 15 or 20 - Element of Fire).
    (en: 'rosemary' is pl: 'rozmaryn').
- Honeysuckle (about 2 packs - Element of Earth).
    (en: 'honeysuckle' is pl: 'wiciokrzew').
- Vampire's Blood (1 pack - awakens inner vampire in someone).
    While mentally and physically powerful, easily succumbs to desires, lusts and anger,
- Amber (about 3 packs, made by Stamford - for Wisdom and Truth-Seeking, for Rites of Love and Desire too).
    (en: 'amber' is pl: 'bursztyn').
    Stamford is located in London, thus focus on Western Spirituality and Witchcraft.
- Stress Relief (about 5 packs),
- White Sage ( pl: 'Biała Szałwia', 3 packs ) - for cleansing energies,
    (for example, it can cleanse TAROT decks of cards, or for purifying apartment/temple space), element of Air,
- Prosperity (about 3 packs) - for resources.


My incense cones:
- White Sage ( pl: 'Biała Szałwia', about 1 pack of 10 cones, and 2 packs of 15 cones) - for cleansing energies,
    (for example, it can cleanse TAROT decks of cards, or for purifying apartment/temple space), element of Air,
- Stress Relief (about 3 packs of 15 cones),
- Wizard's Spell (3 packs of 12 cones each), for general purpose magick - like a white candle,
    also for metamagick - divination, transforming, redirecting, countering spells etc,
- Witch's Curse (3 packs of 12 cones each), for attacking,
- Fairy Mist (3 packs of 12 cones each) ... mist obscures perceptions.


When one should use cones instead of sticks?

I don't know, but I am investigating the Correspondences between Cone Incense and the Wiccan Rite called: 'Cone of Power',


While i strongly disadvise killing (terrible karma, terrible destiny), there's powerful lethal spell when one combines witch's curse, dragon's blood and dragon's fire together. Makes someone's blood burn within his/her body. Three sticks numerologically mean power too. Name of this spell is: 'Curse of the Dragon Blood'.


Other useful combination is using together Fairy Mist, Protection and Witch's Curse. Hit and run suprise attacks from the cover of the Mist, then retreat to the safety in Mist. Useful for fighting, sort of magickal 'guerilla warfare'. Three sticks numerologically mean power too.


High Magick is mostly spiritual growth, Low Magick - witchcraft included - is more practical, from protection to love, to wealth and to other tricks.

High Magick can defeat Low Magick, but at what cost?

Low Magick is more practical, more cost efficient.

... why to pull a cannon against pidgeon?

Incense & TAROT in use.

... i have many types of incense sticks, not only witchcraft-related.

Buddhism-related i have:
- Chenrezig Incense (chenrezig is bodhisattva or buddha of compassion),
- Kalachakra Incense (kalachakra is wheel of time),
- Satya Karma Incense (i think that this incense potentially improves one's karma, by opening to friendships with Indian people - mostly buddhists, but also hinduists).

Today ordered also:
- Green Tara Incense (for calmness and general well-being),
- Mahakala Incense (for protection. mahakala is the protector of buddha's lessons in karma kagyu buddhism school and lineage. every living being is a lesson as well),
- Jambala Incense (for wealth - both inner and external wealth, for spending money wisely as well).


Today i've burned Satya Karma Incese stick, made mind contact with people from India, and talked (in mind) with one buddhist girl from India. We'll try to be friends. We agreed to call her Makalu, as is mountain in Himalayas named.

She wanted me to burn compassion incense stick and draw a card from Mage: the Ascension TAROT.

... i did as she wanted.

Compassion incense was burnt with intent for compassion within our mandalas (word mandala means powerfield) - with special emphasis for Indian Buddhism and Indian Hinduism mandalas.

... i read in a book 'Being Useful' with long review with Lama Ole Nydahl, that a being can be surrounded by powerfield. i understand it (not sure if i'm not wrong) that compassion within madalas is compassion within sanghas (buddhist communities) and/or other spiritual groups.

... is powerfield a form of energies generated by spiritual groups?


TAROT card drawn was: '2 of wands', with meaning of Union, Rulership, Power, etc.

... it seems we'll work together with her to unify sanghas and use power of our groups to fight against worst common foes.

... is it Nihilist groups?
