Wicca Made Easy: Guided visualization: Storytelling.

'There are many shamanic techniques, called ecstatic practices, that enable you to gain access to the Other World; among them are dancing, drumming and journeying, fasting, ritual and working with sacred plants.

There's also the age-old magic of storytelling, now called guided visualization. The right stories told in the right way for the right reasons can take you into the realms of Spirit'.

I've positioned myself confortably, closed eyes and breathed deeply, relaxing.

I've felt my body relax as I exhaled, and felt my mind calm itself when I inhaled.

My hands over my heart, and I felt it's steady, slow rythm.


My breath reached outward and deeper inward, and I've felt it to connect inner and outer, outer and beyond, beyond and within.

I've felt my consciousness changing, shifting, opening into the radiant dimensions within and beyond my physical body. As I've continued breathing I've felt myself rising, free to move anywhere.

In front of me door appeared. Old, beautiful, wooden door with handle made of gold in the shape of a curving branch. I've gripped the handle and pulled, but doors were heavy. I've pulled it harder and it opened.

I've found myself in disappearing mist, in the magical, natural land in the spring-time of the year. Following a carpet of green grass, full of spring violets. The sun was rising, the sky was blue and there was a soft warm breeze.

I've inhaled and filled myself with energy of this place.

Followed a well-worn path through a meadow and into the woods. With birdsongs in background, i've heard a stream with small rocks and water plants. Through the stream i've finally reached woods.

I've opened my eyes, and found in front of me a being full of love an compassion. It was green man, who was my guide.

Why a man appeared instead of woman?

I am not a gay, and woman would probably be a competition for a buddhist witch that I love. So the man came, for it was safer choice for this gender.


I've opened my heart and received his blessings, whatever needed was offered.

I've felt blessings, felt the energy of Creation coursing through me. It was place of Spirit.

Feeling my body infused with light and energy, love and Spirit, there was something in my hands, a gift for the Green Man.

There was something in my hands, something shaped from this energy. A sphere of light, with quickly moving butterfly-alike wings. A symbol of beauty flowering, after living for a while as a larva.

I've offered my gift and said thanks to the green man.

Time in this world came to an end. I've returned the way I came, past the door into my apartment, into my body, into the present.


I've returned with the power of Creation to manifest love and beauty, to give shape and form to Spirit, to create life that i long for. This was magic i am seeking.

I've opened my eyes, and clapped my hands three times, to help me ground myself and return consciousness to normal.

My feelings during this practice could be described as spring-time, young and beautiful. I am grateful for the green man's gift, perhaps he was best guide for me for now.

I've described in short my Guided visualization: Storytelling practice in my magical journal (this blog is my magical journal, among other topics).

Power Node Set-Up, Geometric Numerology Visualization.

This form can be visualized, with a wish for realization, with a wish to make it real.

When one wants to do it, i advise visualizing this form at one's top of head, in Crown Chakra - so energy can be stored there and wielded from there.

Heart Chakra is not place for it - it's place for Love, i think.

Also, i disadvise visualizing this form in stomach - as it could lead to amassing energies in stomach in form of fat and calories.

Monolith in midst is associated with numbers of 3 & 4 - with power and protection. Within this form, energies are stored and protected.

Within Monolith, there's number of 101 ... this numerological symbol can trigger whole node's destruction, reforming, or rebuilding after its damaged by an outer attack. As node is reformed, remaining energies are 'cleaned up', so there's no 'garbage energies' around reformed node.

1 represents form, 0 represents emptiness.

101: 1->0->1. Form can return to space, leave emptiness ... then from emptiness the same or another form can emerge.


Around Monolith is Cube, associated with numbers of 4 & 6 - with passive and active protection. Active protection is curse, associated with hex, a number of 6.

From cube's walls arrows describe possible directions through which energies can flow ... either as attack, energy transfer in either direction, spellcasting, energy trade or for other purposes.


Number associated with this form is 43.

4*3 (Monolith) + 6*4 (Cube) + 6 (Energy Flow Arrows) + 1 (form of 101).

4+3 = 7, so it's luck/happiness sign :)


... if we count form of 101 as 3 digits - instead of 1 number - then number of this form is 45.

4+5 = 9, so it's greater power as well.

'Virtual Adept's' Low Magick: 'Quality Analysis Visualization'.

Introduction.

Art, including 'Art of Magick & Light' - the Art Style i am trying to create - uses symbols, both graphical and textual ... other as well.

... how to represent music? either notes notation scrolling at bottom, analyzed frame by frame as in film ... or at least compact disc album cover with performers and song's title at bottom, etc ...

... with Arts, i am trying to create myself as a 'Virtual Adept', a Computer Oriented Magician.

Art Style i am creating uses symbols, history & lore of various Spiritual / Esoteric / Occult / Magickal / etc groups.

... is it True Magic or just Graphical, Visual Entertainment?

... i'll let readers think and decide on their own.


Is Art Magical?

... while i think that: 'Art is slightly magical, the subtler Art the better', there are Arts that consider spiritual, occult, ... more than other Art Styles.

... in my eyes, for me ... Art & Beauty are more Important, more Precious than Power.

... qualities / pl: 'właściwości' / can be analyzed with regards to 'Art of Magick & Light', or other more 'mundane' Arts.

... Art can have, for example:
- relaxing, mind calming qualities,
- anger release qualities,
- mood raising qualities,
- shocking qualities,
- ...

... it is also the quality, whether Art is for Spiritual Development, or a form of attack, spiritual fall.


'Problem' & Tools.

... i think Art does not have problems, only needs ... but Computer Sciences consider problems - so i use this word here.

Symbols represent ideas, Art pieces convey messages.

Spiritually, Esoterically oriented people often come upon symbolic messages - found in books, in films, in internet, in dreams, in visions ... and are stuck with discovering messages' meaning(s).

The image below can be used for visualization, along with wishes, prayers, spells and mantras - so true nature of a being or phenomenon can be analyzed and understood.

Beings differ from Phenomena in that:
- Beings have Mind,
- Phenomena do not have Mind.


The Image.

... one can visualize symbolic image to be analyzed in place of a question mark, under magnifying glass.

Creative Visualization, Reality Changing Tool.

Introduction.

We are Minds separated by illusions of ego.

When ego is defeated, we are not separated anymore, we are One Mind, we are almost or fully the Buddha - connected even with those unenlightened, even if they perceive barriers still.

Universe is filled with Energies, subtler than physical, spiritual energies.

Subtler energies affect physical energies and matter.

Universe wishes to fulfill our wishes, some call it God-Force.

Universe acts through us.


Tools.

Imagination, Visualization, the Inner Vibration in Mind, is a way of interacting with Reality, what we think we become.

By changing ourselves, we change Reality - if only by our efforts to do it.


Creative Imagination is Magickal tool, may it be idea, feeling or visualized image in Mind.

Once created, it might be empowered - for example with power of positive affirmations.

That way we change, Reality changes as well.


How to Imagine?

1. Think of something simple, as if it already happened.

Either idea or event, for example: 'My apartment is clean and nice, fragrant, pure energetically and renovated'.

If it's event, relax and let imagine yourself being part of it.

To create image, it's nice to paint it or draw it first, or wish so it appears in mind.

2. Relax Your body and mind.

3. Count from 10 to 1, thinking, letting imagine. Each breath and counted number relaxes you, think of what you wish to visualize after each breath.

4. Return to the imagination often, focus on it often.

5. Empower with positive affirmations, or send positive energy different way.

Affirm without room for disbelief, and make sure it's pleasant outcome.

For example: 'Thanks to clean and fragrant apartment, i can look nice and smell fragrant - bad smells no longer stick to my clothing. Thanks to this i can succeed in Love and in Career'.


Outcome.

That way, you can believe a change is possible, dispel doubts - no matter if they are caused by black magick trauma of brainwashing or by other causes, you can change Yourself, you can change Reality.

Universe will conform to Your Will, You will Manifest / Realize / what you wish to achieve.
