Magick, Fear & Litany against Fear (from Frank Herbert's 'Dune').

About.

When one practices Magick, fear is abundant at times. Magicians boldly face the fear of unknown, some of them turn insane as well (not only because of fear).


What about Litany, then?

Source is from Frank Herbert's 'Dune' book, but i think it's more than fiction ... these words make sense, and i think these can work well in real life, against real fears.

This litany can be recited when one faces fear, to help one to face the fear with bravery, to help one develop fearlessness.


This litany helped me about 10-12 years ago, when i went through psychological crisis.


English.

Litany against fear.

'I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.'


Polish.

Litania przeciw strachowi.

'Nie wolno się bać.
Strach zabija duszę.
Strach to mała śmierć, a wielkie unicestwienie.
Stawię mu czoło.
Niech przejdzie po mnie i przeze mnie.
A kiedy przejdzie, odwrócę oko swiej jaźni na jego drogę.
Którędy przeszedł strach, tam nie ma nic ... jestem tylko ja.'
