    What Books About Ritual Magic Should You Read?

In order to interact with spirits and deities, magicians need knowledge in a special direction - ritual magic. It can be considered the basis of any magical art, since it is it that reveals the most basic concepts that are the essence of any magical actions.

What is ritual magic

Each of the magical sciences has its own rituals. The magician may be an adherent of various magical schools. Regardless of what he does: séances (summoning and communicating with spirits) or runic magic, his activities are associated with rituals. However, high-quality and effective work is impossible without learning ritual magic and, in fact, the rites themselves.

The basic knowledge that ritual magic gives relates to the conduct of rituals and their structure. Only by understanding the mechanism of the actions performed, as well as the principles of the interaction of elements, the magician can adapt the rite to a specific situation, depending on the conditions for its implementation and the desired goals. If he is not at all familiar with the principles of ritual magic, then he becomes a "monkey", repeating memorized actions without understanding their essence. In this case, the effectiveness of magical actions is significantly reduced.

During the ritual, magicians perform certain actions, but in general, the ritual structure cannot be called unchanged and rigid. In any rite there are elements, the order of which remains unchanged, as well as those that can be changed. However, from this the quality, character and even the end result of ritual actions will acquire a different meaning.

Ritual magic consists of certain parts.

Basic elements of ritual magic

Ritual magic consists of the following parts:

  • Intention and desire to carry it out.

The first component of performing the ritual is a sincere desire to fulfill your intention. Without this, it makes no sense to even begin to perform the ceremony. In magic, it is impossible to do something habitually or according to a pattern, because in order to get the expected result, a strong emotional need for certain actions is necessary.

Magic rituals are performed to ensure the fulfillment of desires, no matter whether it is ritual magic of destruction or, conversely, removing damage or healing from illness, otherwise it will be a waste of time that does not bring any practical result.

  • Determining (choosing) the right time.

To achieve success in any business, one should not neglect such an important element as choosing the right time. If we are talking about ritual, (especially black) magic, then the right period will be most conducive to success or failure. Casting love spells, spells, spells and curses is best when the state of the ritual object is most receptive.

The passivity of the object allows the magician to bend its consciousness to his will. Absolutely any person becomes inactive during sleep. So, it is best to perform magical rites during the period when your object is in the arms of Morpheus.

The sleep cycle consists of certain phases, some of which are best suited for external influences. A person who falls asleep after a hard day's work will at first be in a phase of deep sleep, which is necessary for the body and mind to rest. The duration of this period is approximately four hours. Then deep sleep is replaced by the next, lasting from two to three hours. It is now that a person dreams, and it is at this time that the brain is most susceptible to both conscious and unconscious influences.

For example, the task of the magician is to enchant a person whose sleep lasts from about eleven in the evening to seven in the morning. In this case, ritual magic performed around five o'clock in the morning, that is, a couple of hours before the moment the person wakes up, will have the greatest effect.

It is important for the magician to be in good physical and emotional shape during this period. After all, in the process of carrying out the ritual, he is the personification of the "sending" factor.

If we turn to history, it becomes clear why sorcerers and witches were considered people of the night. After all, this mode of sleep and wakefulness is ideal for influencing the thoughts of unsuspecting sleeping people. People do not even realize what kind of thoughts can be introduced into their brain from the outside while they are sleeping peacefully.

The dreaming phase can be called the state that actually affects the creation of the future. The great thoughts that arise during this period (if you keep them when you wake up and do not forget them later during wakefulness) allow a person to make the greatest discoveries and deeds. People who are guided solely by not fully conscious thoughts will find themselves in situations that will later be interpreted as vicissitudes of fate or submission to God's will.

  • Creating an image.

But what is ritual magic? Who are the great magicians and sorceresses? They can be found in ordinary life, among ordinary people. Take a closer look at a teenager enthusiastically carving a heart on a tree bark with a knife and placing his initials and his beloved in it. Or to a kid who is able to draw cars or planes for a long time in the form in which he imagines them. Look at the girl rocking the old teddy bear she thinks is her baby...

All these examples are about them, about gifted people who are able to use a magical element called “image” in everyday life, and it is he who influences the success of actions and rites of ritual magic.

Having no idea about their giftedness, creative talents, artistic abilities, children, without getting hung up on this, want to achieve their goals and use images invented by them for this. The attitude of adults to their creative "attempts" is more critical. Therefore, it is quite enough for magicians and sorcerers to use only a clay doll or a primitive drawing during ritual magic. Such images are for them sufficiently accurate and reflect the very essence.

Everything that allows you to enhance emotions in the process of conducting a ritual contributes to its successful completion. Any drawings, paintings, sculptures, inscriptions, photographs, articles of clothing, smells, sounds, music, dramatizations of real or imaginary situations, etc. used during ritual magic will serve the magician.

Images can be designated as a constant reminder, a means of saving intellectual energy, a working substitute for an object that exists in reality. They can be subjected to various changes, they can be designed, created again. Magicians perform these actions in accordance with their will, and the very model that is created with the help of the image is transformed into a formula that seeks to break out into reality.

The images used by magicians can be called working models of material reality, which is a complete contradiction of esoteric spirituality.

  • Choice of direction.

The practical application of ritual magic is often accompanied by ignoring a very important element - the direction of force.

A very common situation is when people, setting themselves the goal of becoming witches and magicians, performing a magical ritual, begin to impatiently wait for the first signs of its success to appear. A similar result could be achieved simply by kneeling down and praying.

It is worth remembering that too much excitement nullifies any chances of achieving real success. Giving too much importance to the expectation of results, the magician will not be able to accumulate and concentrate enough energy in himself to simply carry out and complete the process of the rite of ritual magic.

If you think too much about your actions, constantly complain about the current situation, then it is these emotions that will form the basis of your ritual, weakening and dispersing the directed ritual force. It is important to increase the desire to achieve the result in such a way and to such an extent that one can use magical powers, and then make the necessary efforts to accomplish the symbolic release of this desire through the performance of the ritual.

The performance of magical rituals has a special purpose, which is to free the magician from thoughts that could absorb him with constant reference to them. If you think too much, dream or constantly think about all sorts of options for the further development of events, then the emotional energy that is necessary to achieve a result simply begins to dissipate, not giving the magician sufficient strength to successfully perform the rite of ritual magic.

Any activity, including daily activities, will be less effective if a person is overly absorbed in various worries. There are many examples of how magicians misuse precious energy. For example, a witch tries to bewitch a person by allocating several minutes for the ritual between the hourly waiting for a call from him. Or the magician asks fate for financial prosperity, and then cannot live in peace in anticipation of sudden wealth. These examples vividly demonstrate the improper use of emotional energy. And the probability of a positive result after such magical rituals tends to zero.

  • The balance of the situation.

Such an element of ritual magic as maintaining the balance of the situation is more justified in the performance of sexual and beneficial rituals than in the application of curses. And although this link, at first glance, seems insignificant, in reality it is quite important. Not all witches and magicians have the ability to be fully aware of this factor.

In other words, maintaining the balance of the situation requires that the magician understands and accepts the types of personalities and situations, which means that each time he selects the appropriate magical rituals that allow him to achieve the greatest effect.

And although the ability to recognize one's own limitations seems like a very strange opportunity for self-improvement for a person who is eager to do what others cannot, it often determines the line between success and failure. Although bringing one's own desires into line with one's own abilities is in itself a great achievement, many people do not want to understand that the failure to achieve the maximum effect from the rites of ritual magic does not indicate their worthlessness. Remember that half a pie is better than none at all.

One of the most powerful tools of any magician is the ability to self-awareness, awareness and understanding of their own talents, capabilities, those of their features that are physically attractive and repulsive, etc., as well as a clear understanding of where, at what time, and the main thing is with whom it is best to use your knowledge and capabilities.

Many novice magicians are sure that if a magical action has sufficient power, then it is certainly doomed to success, even if there is a magical imbalance. But at the same time, these sorcerers forget about the most important thing, that the magical effect is only a part of nature. If these concepts are separated from each other, then a positive result will not be achieved. Success in ritual magic requires a harmonious interaction with nature, and not a denial of it.

What can ritual magic be used for?

Ritual magic refers to a special kind of witchcraft, involving the performance of a special ceremonial aimed at achieving a result.

It applies to:

    simple consecration of magical things;

    helping a person suffering from an illness;

    removing the influence of negative energy from a person (in other words, the evil eye and damage);

    various types of predictions (for example, fortune telling on Tarot cards, Runes), as well as ritual and ritual practices with candle magic, etc .;

    calling various spirits to communicate and receive answers.


Ritual magic is based on its main tool - ritual.

A ritual is a traditional method used by a sorcerer to evocation and invocation of spirits and demons, to perform all sorts of magical manipulations, and much more. Often rituals end with amazing results, but the possibility of an unsuccessful outcome should not be denied either. The latter often happen to inexperienced magicians who are not fully aware and understand what the main tasks and functions of ritual actions are.

By itself, the ritual is not a guarantor of the result, does not create it. It is merely a means for the magician to express his own will outwardly. If, in the process of performing a certain ritual, the magician is calm and confident in the success of its implementation, then he intuitively acts in such a way that the goal will be achieved. The position of the sorcerer in relation to the goal is such that the path to its achievement becomes the shortest.

For example, the magician decides to perform a ritual to attract money on the eve of how to go to his boss for an increase in salary. To do this, he needs to buy ritual candles for gold-colored magic, light them, and also use cinnamon incense, call Mammon. The next day, the boss offers the magician a promotion that far exceeds his wildest fantasies. Having resorted to the ritual, the sorcerer at the level of instincts and his unconscious "I" performed those actions that allowed him to get what he wanted, having exerted the necessary influence on the boss in the right direction.

Through the ritual, the thinking and actions of the magician are strengthened, since he can concentrate energy and focus it on a certain final goal.

In order to successfully perform the ritual, in addition to its correct performance, there must be a focus on a target that is within the reach of the magician.

It is important that the sorcerer use his power constructively, not considering ritual as a substitute for active actions needed in other situations, not to be deluded about success in ritual magic. The real victory is facilitated by the correct conditions chosen for the ritual, in this case, the actions of the magician embodied in the rite are enhanced.

Tools of ritual magic

If we talk about the material aspects of preparing for the ritual, then you need to do selection of a suitable site, execute necessary cleaning of the workplace, place the furniture depending on the envisaged physical movements. Choosing a location is an important part of the ceremony. Closed spaces are suitable for ritual magic, access to which has a limited circle of people. Especially the person to whom the action is addressed.

Before choosing a location, it is necessary to decide who will be allowed to visit the rituals, establish the requirements that must be observed when visiting, as well as the level of privacy necessary to perform ritual magic. Only after you clearly define the listed requirements, it will be possible to make a final decision regarding the choice of location.

According to professional magicians, special ceremonial vestments does not have.

In any case, neat and practical clothing is more important than following a certain style or color of clothing. However, sometimes the use of outfits with some kind of symbolism helps in establishing the appropriate atmosphere. As for wearing robes or capes with hoods during the preparation and conduct of ritual ceremonies, they help to focus on the main thing.

Disputes about which tools ritual magic cannot do without exist in our time. The more formal school of ritual magic in the West suggests the use of four tools. They symbolize connections with the four elements, and the fifth - the spirit - is directly the magician.

    Wand. It is a symbol of the degree of desire or intention. With its help, the energy of the ritual is concentrated; rituals of evocation and resurrection cannot do without it.

    Bowl. It personifies intuition, the range of its application in ritual magic is very wide.

    Dagger or a small blade is the personification of the mind. A number of rituals allow the use of a sword. With its help, they restrain energy and create symbols and signs.

    Pentacle. It symbolizes the body or physical form. It is used to tame the forces invoked, in some rituals it is replaced by a vessel containing water and salt.

In addition to these basic tools, other accessories are used in ritual magic, but they are already used at the discretion of the sorcerer.

Incense- with their help, the air is purified and the appropriate mood is set. They are also used to manifest spiritual (subtle) powers and project images.

Candles- are used for ritual and ritual practices in magic and are traditionally intended for illumination. Despite the fact that during use they can cause some inconvenience, they contribute to the creation of the atmosphere better than ordinary electric lighting. The light from them is minimal, in addition, in accordance with the ceremony, you can choose the color of the candles.

bells- the beginning and end of rituals in ritual magic are marked with a bell.

How to protect yourself from the consequences of ritual magic sessions

The basis of effective magical rites is the principle of the exchange of energies, which can be positive and negative. There are dark curses of ritual magic (the seal of loneliness, for example), from which you need to be able to defend yourself.

To protect against negative energy, you can and should use translation rituals or other protective methods.

Transfer to wood

In order to independently perform this protective rite, take the following materials:

    red wool thread;

    ritual knife for magic (you can buy such a tool in a specialized store);

    dark natural fabric.

The day of the exchange is traditionally considered the date of your birth, however, it is not necessary to perform the ritual in the month of birth, any other month of the year will do. Three days before the exchange it is necessary to tie a red woolen thread on the wrist of the working hand. Over the next three days, it cannot be removed, and the thread must not be allowed to get wet.

On the day of the exchange of the ritual knife for magic, an incision must be made on the thumb of the left hand. Then the thread is removed from the wrist, wetted with blood. After that, go to a pre-selected tree, tie a thread on any branch, make three knots and read a white plot on each of them that can protect against magic:

"Here's mine, and I want yours. I change with you, I close myself with you.


Having finished, without breaking the silence, break off (break off, not cut off) some other branch, put it in your bosom, and also leave in complete silence. At home, the branch will need to be wrapped in a dark cloth and stored away from prying eyes. When you tie a thread, keep in mind that it can be removed by someone, so choose a branch that is not in the most visible place.

When performing further rites of ritual magic, do not forget to put the brought branch next to you. Her energy will give you protection in the process of working with black magic, if necessary, will deflect the blow. This translation has a long-term effect, it is repeated once every six months. However, if the tree from which you broke off the branch suddenly fell ill, withered, was cut down, lightning hit it, etc., then the magical protection must be redone immediately.

Transfer to the cemetery

No one is safe from black influence, because to activate a spell of dark ritual magic, one hair of a potential victim is enough. It is important to be able to protect yourself from harmful influences. One of the strongest defenses is considered to be a withdrawal to the cemetery.

In order to protect yourself from evil, the evil eye, magical attacks, backflows, you need to go to the cemetery and, walking among the graves, read the spell seven times to yourself. This conspiracy can subsequently protect against negativity, as well as help in removing damage and a love spell:

“I ask for the churchyard army, I ask the owner of the churchyard for tacos. The coffin will open with a creak, and the path will spread out before me, then it is walked with steps, but no one has seen it, only the dead know. Taco there is a black hut, a military commander, an accomplice of a dead blacksmith. Then their swords are forged there, and the blades are hardened there, damask steel is damask steel, and steel is tacked there, arrows are sharpened there, and chain mail is knitted there, and a shield made by that blacksmith, but from the sins themselves, that shield is black forged, cooled by tears, hardened by prayers, yes he is called a churchyard shield.

Either not with a bow, but with a word and with a firm tale, yes, this shield is requested, yes, I have requested, then I will hide with it, I will hide from the dash, from the strangler and the night destroyer, from the poison of the brew, from the course of the church, from the word of the witcher, from everything bad things that are done to me, then they will hide me from everything, but they will hide with this shield, it’s hard not to see, it’s bad not to foresee, to get along well, but to measure their good fate. Amen".


After that, you need to find any abandoned grave (it does not have to be nameless, but certainly old and unkempt), put and light a ritual candle for magic, while reading the spell:

“Forged, made, but made for me with a shield. Amen".


When finished, leave the cemetery without looking back. During the next lunar month, you should not go to the cemetery, otherwise you can break the power of your protective ritual.

Such a rite of ritual magic gives a very strong amulet if you intend to continue to perform rituals in the cemetery. Such magical defenses are mainly used by experienced sorcerers and magicians.

In general, we can say that the protections made in the graveyard have greater strength, durability and stability in comparison with demonic or neutral shields. Of course, many factors influence the strength and duration of protection.

If, after putting the cemetery protection on a person, a necro-binding occurs, it means that the ritual magic ritual was performed with gross violations. With correctly set protection against the effects of black magic, diagnostics will indicate the presence of a shield, and not a ghoul absorbing the victim.

To date, the number of magical schools and movements is very large. And each practicing magician has personal skills, best practices and unique experience. Warlocks work with higher powers according to their own rules, white magicians have their own. However, the higher powers themselves will be different for both. Consequently, they need to use different methods to protect against witchcraft and magic.

In order to understand what is the difference between certain magicians and sorcerers, what are the features of rituals and types of protection, it is worth referring to special literature - books on ritual magic.

Ritual Magic Books to Read

The book acquaints readers with those materials that were originally placed in the Book of Black Magic and Contracts. Only now the work has a new name, as well as numerous additions. In addition, it should be noted that the ceremonies to which the book is dedicated are absolutely identical to the original ones. This means that readers no longer need to constantly look for and refer to primary sources in order to verify the dubious provisions of the rites of ritual magic.

This book will help you answer many questions. For example, what was ritual magic originally? What was the power of sorcerers and magicians, persecuted, but at the same time, not losing their own pride? Why, in case of weakness or madness, were they honored, despite the great fear of them? Is it even possible to talk about the existence of magic?

Information about all people who have ever lived on Earth is collected in the Akashic Records, or the Book of Life. From this work, knowledge can be gleaned about the feelings that people experienced; about the things they did; about the thoughts and intentions that were inherent in them.

The book tells about past lives, as well as the possible future of any and each of the current ones. The author tells readers that they are personally responsible for their own destiny, and also talks about the ways and possibilities of changing it.

This work is devoted to a deep study of the source that gave insights to the famous medium Edgar Cayce. When it was necessary to obtain information, he turned to this particular book and claimed that thanks to it he gained fame as a great seer.

Edgar Cayce's Akashic Records convincingly shows that anyone can turn to their own chronicles that tell about the past, present and future, becoming an independent creator of their own destiny.

This book is a fundamental Russian-language edition of the main works of the great philosopher-mystic, occultist, naturalist and physician Philipp von Hohenheim, who was known in Europe as Paracelsus.

After reading the collection, one can get an idea of ​​the most significant works created by the brilliant alchemist, natural philosopher and physician, who had a significant impact on the formation and development of science and philosophy, both in the Renaissance and in our time.

Ritual magic is a collection of the most ancient knowledge about the laws of the non-physical world. Using it, one can not only influence the events of the near future, but also strive to learn the most important and secret secrets of the Universe, and rise to the top of the human spirit.

The Book of the Magician Abramelin was written in the 15th century, but even today it is considered the most famous mystical text of all ages. Its creator was Abraham von Worms, a Jewish traveler who, wandering through the lands of Egypt, met the mysterious magician Abramelin. For ten florins and a promise to be a pious wizard, von Worms was given a magical manuscript, which later passed to his son Lamech.

The book tells about only one, but extremely difficult ritual - "operation". It was this name that Abramelin gave him. The rite consists of eighteen months of prayers and purifications, only healthy strong men, whose age is not less than 25, but not more than 50 years old, can perform it. As for women, the performance of the “operation” is not recommended for them in principle, due to their “curiosity and love for conversations”, although exceptions are possible for virgins.

Having completed all the steps of the “operation” in exact accordance and without losing determination, you can get in touch with your Guardian Angel, who gives wealth and amazing abilities (a person will master the art of necromancy, divination, foresight, weather control, learn various secrets, will be able to foresee the future , unlock closed doors).

A lot of attention in the manuscript is given to magic squares - this is how unique puzzle words are called. Along with the Icelandic rods described in Haldbrook, squares are able to acquire and reveal their mystical and occult properties when they are written out. For example, the word "Milon", being written on parchment and placed above the head, can tell about the secrets of the past and the future, and the word "Sinach" can unleash wars. The author says that a number of squares are too dangerous to be used.

This manuscript significantly influenced the famous occultist Aleister Crowley, who claimed to have experienced a series of supernatural events that occurred after performing the ritual and joining the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (as the British order of magicians of the 19th century is called). Subsequently, Crowley used the manuscript as the basis for creating his own magical system.

Where to buy everything you need for ritual magic

If you are a follower of Wicca, Paganism, or any other tradition that requires altar work, you know firsthand how difficult it is to create a truly unique and perfect altar.

Let "Witch's Luck" help you! We have everything to make the altar an impeccable embodiment of your individuality and your chosen Craft.

Are you just starting to be interested in magic and don't know where to start creating your first altar?. And we are always in touch on Facebook, Telegram, VK and WhatsApp.

"Witch's Happiness" - the magic starts here.

is a real art that draws resources for itself from the very depths of our soul. Each of us has a power, but it is so hidden from prying eyes that if you do not strive for its realization, then it will not even manifest itself.

Many of those who mastered the secret powers and managed to discover them in themselves really became great sorcerers and magicians.

Magic can be of two kinds: abstract and ritual. Those who have just begun to study magic usually expect it to improve their well-being and financial situation. It should be noted that when you perform any ritual, it affects not only the surrounding world, but also the magician himself. Therefore, you should be careful and wish only one thing. No conflicting thoughts.

- magical actions associated with some things that have a magical meaning. When a magician uses ritual magic, his actions affect all four levels of human existence: mental, physical, spiritual and emotional. These levels are interconnected and influence each other. If the spirit is not harmonious, then neither the ritual nor the result expected from it will work.

Abstract magic is based on self-knowledge, internal energy and strength. Sorcerers who choose the path of abstract witchcraft do not use magical attributes, but rely only on energy connections. Sorcerers practicing abstract magic seek to strengthen their spirit and inner energy.

Ritual attributes of magic can be:

  • A circle. It is drawn in order to conduct a ritual and separate the ordinary world from the magical one. Usually, a circle is drawn to protect a certain territory.
  • Altar. In the center of the circle is usually located an altar, personifying the center of the universe. All the magical energy that is called by the sorcerer should be focused on the Altar.
  • Cloth. Before the ritual, it is worth putting on certain clothes that will be stored separately from others. It must be worn on a clean body. She seems to personify clothes made of pure light. It should be comfortable and not cause discomfort. For different needs, they wear clothes of various colors.
  • Dagger. The ritual dagger, also known as atame, is used for defense and other purposes. In ancient times, sorcerers used two types of knives - a white-handled dagger for everyday activities, and a black-handled dagger for rituals and magical deeds.
  • Ring. Many sorcerers who practice ritual magic have a magical ring. It is usually worn on the index finger of the right hand and acts as a magnet to attract higher power. Usually, inscriptions with meaning can be applied to the ring, attracting energy. Sometimes, for different things, different rings should be used.

Many actions turn out to be on a variety of occult elements: fire, water, air and earth. Each of the elements possess different types of energy. Each element is also represented by its own special symbol. Fire - with a wand, air - a dagger, a symbol of water - a bowl, a symbol of earth - a disk or pentacle.

So, now you know about the existence of two types of magic - abstract and ritual, about each of them separately and those things that are used by sorcerers who practice ritual magic.

What is Ritual Magic?

Ritual Magic- this is a direction of magical art, based on an understanding of the way of interaction with Spirits and Deities through a special symbolic language - ritual. Ritual Magic, in its essence, is the basis for all magical arts, since it appeals to such a basic concept that is included in the very essence of any magical action.

Almost every magical science uses its own rituals. Regardless of the direction of the development of the Mage, whether it be Spirituality (invoking and communicating with Spirits) or Runic Magic, the Mage will need to work with the ritual one way or another. And in order for this to be effective and of high quality, knowledge about Ritual Magic and the rituals themselves is needed.

The basic knowledge in Ritual Magic is the knowledge of the ritual and its structure. It is the understanding of the structure of the ritual and the principles of the interaction of its elements that allows the Magician to adapt the ritual to various conditions and vary its goals. Ignorance of the principles of Ritual Magic leads to the fact that the Magician turns into a "monkey" repeating actions without understanding their essence. And this, in turn, significantly reduces the effectiveness of these actions.

More about rituals, their types and types will be discussed in the classes devoted to this topic. Now it is important to note that by ritual we mean something definite and concrete. At the same time, the ritual is not a rigid structure that is not subject to change. In our understanding, a ritual consists of elements whose order does not change, some of which can be changed, thus changing the quality and character of the whole ritual.

It should also be said about 2 opposite opinions about Ritual Magic, which are not typical for our teaching, but they well emphasize the position of our School. The 1st opinion refers to the magical teachings of Europe, which produce a ritual in the rank of unshakable action, a violation or inaccurate action in any of its elements can not only destroy the entire effect, but also lead to an absolutely opposite result. As we can see, this opinion is based on the understanding of the ritual as an unchanging structure. The 2nd opinion is typical for modern New Age eso-currents, which are very frivolous about the ritual, calling them any actions performed by their followers on a whim near improvised magical instruments. This point of view on the ritual completely eliminates its significance.

Passing the basic course on Ritual Magic at the School of Magic of Fire, the student receives knowledge about all types and types of rituals that are used in all magical arts taught at the School. And additional courses on Candle Magic and Moon Magic expand the student's understanding of Ritual Magic and give him additional tools to interact with the world.

Common Misconceptions About Ritual Magic

The beginner Mage, when first approaching Ritual Magic, may have a somewhat inaccurate idea of ​​it. In many ways, modern cinema, trying to show the image of the Magician, makes it excessively bright, and reduces magic itself to performing any action through an effort of will. Thus, Mages in movies and books are able to throw fireballs right and left and hit enemies with lightning from their eyes. On the one hand, such an image kindles the beginner's interest, and on the other hand, it distorts his perception so much that it becomes difficult for the beginner to work with real Forces.

A considerable influence on the process of development and reproduction of various kinds of delusions is exerted by people who, for absolutely incomprehensible reasons, consider themselves magicians. The latter are inclined to give out their fragmentary knowledge, scooped up from dubious sources and mixed with their imagination for some kind of revelation. Peru of such figures owns all sorts of thoughts and conclusions that it is dangerous to conduct rituals, because through them certain entities draw energy from the participants in the ritual. Or summoning Spirits is dangerous, since they are all pests and at any convenient moment are ready to attack a person and eat him. Or, for the rituals, sacrifices are certainly needed, and bloody ones.

Another category of delusions comes from insecure Mages who, trying to strengthen their rituals and throw dust in the eyes of the customer, begin to come up with some difficult to implement and often completely meaningless actions. One of these “magicians”, while cleaning a person with candles, wrapped the candle in such an amount of paper that it turned out to be a ball the size of 2 fists. The paper was tightly compressed, which complicated the next step - the one to be cleared had to go alone at night through 2 intersections to 3, where this bundle had to be burned. The apotheosis of such "solutions" is the recommendation for women who want to increase the passion of their husband, quietly pass their urine three times through the husband's ring without removing it from their hands.

Why "book" magic doesn't work?

It's hard enough to find literature on Magic these days! And this despite the fact that bookstores are littered with all sorts of esoteric literature. And book publishers unanimously claim that esoteric literature is in second place in popularity in their business after school textbooks. Why do we say that literature on Magic is hard to find? The fact is that 99.99% of books are written by people who are either far from Magic or written to sell themselves. The first write books simply to order, collecting information on forums and processing the text a little. The latter write books to maintain their status. If the former write nonsense because of ignorance, then the latter simply pour water for the sake of the process itself.

Another significant disadvantage of studying the magical arts from books is the lack of like-minded people, joint practice and a teacher who can be asked how to be in a given situation. Alas, the book will never be able to replace either like-minded people, or joint practice, and even more so a teacher.

What does it mean to be a Magician?

First, let's define the concept "Mag" and "a person who uses magical techniques (chimp)" . In the opinion of our School, these concepts have a number of fundamental differences that can be fully comprehended only by those who have already become a Magician or are confidently moving towards it. However, one of the most important differences is worth saying and giving it a clear justification.

For a Magician, Magic is a way of life, and for a Chimp, it is a way to solve petty everyday problems.

Let's take it apart. What does "For a Magician, Magic is a way of life..." mean? The fact that for the Magician Magic is not a set of techniques and actions, but the way of his development, understanding himself and the world around him. For the Magician, Magic is life itself, and this attitude permeates all the actions of the Magician. The magician does not seek to use everything he knows at every opportunity and inconvenience. The magician knows where to say and where to remain silent, where to act and where to do nothing. The magician does not hide his weakness behind knowledge. The opposite position is the chimpa position, which consists in solving one's petty everyday problems and, in the literal sense, imposing one's "help" on other people in exchange for a reward. Chimp tries to cover his weaknesses with some knowledge torn from the teachings in order to be able to influence the situation secretly when he is clearly afraid to act. But as experience shows, such attempts are always weak and ineffective.

Summing up the above, we repeat that for the Magician Magic is the path of development. And, therefore, to be a Magician means to move along this path!

What qualities do you need to possess in order to master magical power?

One of the most important elements of the magical path is the mastery of magical power, which in itself is not an easy act. Mages of the older generation said the following about magical power:

Magic power is a "fish" that must be caught without being seen.
Magic power is a "beast" that must be tamed without touching it.
The magical power is a "person" that one must learn to understand without talking to him.

All these metaphors are directly related to the understanding of what magical power is and through what it can be mastered.

"A fish"- this is our hidden potential, resting at the bottom of our nature. It does not exist at all, since it does not manifest itself until it is discovered. In order to "catch a fish" - to reveal your inner potential - you need to learn to observe yourself, become internally quiet, concentrated and aware, and only then "not seeing", but knowing, you can find yourself first, which is called "real I".

"The beast"- these are our instincts and desire for peace, control and comfort, all that does not allow us to be free. The "beast", unlike the "fish", is always in sight, but it is not possible to touch it, since its changeable nature does not allow us to satisfy all its needs. Having received one thing, the "beast" instantly begins to desire something else. The only way to "tame the beast" is to master desires and become free - to devote yourself to the high goal of gaining freedom, to burn for it and desire it so strongly that restlessness and peace become indistinguishable from each other. So you can find yourself a second one, which is called "free I".

"Person"- this is the Divine wisdom in us, with which we are not able to communicate (exchange something). In accordance with the nature of Divine wisdom, we are only able to listen to its quiet voice, which can easily be drowned out by any desire to do not what is right, but what is easier. Each of these actions weakens our "hearing" and leads us to the fact that we completely lose the opportunity to hear God in ourselves. In order to learn to "understand man" - to hear Divine wisdom - one must become pure in one's thoughts, words and deeds. And only by becoming a conductor of the Heavenly Will on earth can you find yourself a third one, which is called "pure I".

How to master the art of rituals?

In order to learn how to conduct rituals and master Ritual Magic, you need to learn. But studying only theoretical material can lead to awareness of the subject and lack of skills. Therefore, in addition to theory, it is necessary to conduct practice, starting with daily and seasonal rituals and ending with rituals performed with a specific purpose. The course on Ritual Magic contains rituals, the implementation of which will not only allow you to develop the necessary skills, but also make you stronger. The course provides for rituals addressed to the Elements, various Spirits and Deities. The course also discusses rituals aimed at providing various effects on other people (healing, protection, attack, etc.) and rituals aimed at interacting with Heavenly Spirits and gaining one's Spirit-Ally.

To achieve the best effect from training, the first steps in Magic are best taken in a group of like-minded people and under the supervision of mentors.

Ritual Magic - How to Survive and Keep a Secret

Ritual Magic - Keeping a Secret

In general, there are magicians who not only do not hide their affiliation, but also flaunt it in every possible way. Every acquaintance knows who they are, every fellow traveler on the train hears about spiritual development, and every mage hunter can easily find them... This, of course, is the main problem. Around esoterically oriented people, at all times, hordes of psychos, fanatics, skeptics and other personalities were spinning, at best, not too favorably. And even if you are not afraid of scandals, ready to argue with everyone you meet about the nature of magic, the world order and God, then you are unlikely to want to endanger yourself and your loved ones. I highly recommend not to advertise who you are and even share your own photo. However, I have already spoken about elementary magical security on the network more than once in my videos.

But it's not just about direct security considerations. There are several pillars on which all magic is based - Mystery, Faith, Will, Imagination. This is the so-called magical pyramid, without which neither light, nor dark, nor gray-brown-goat will be able to practice. Violating the principle of secrecy, the magician, in fact, with his own hands, closes the possibility of realizing his intention. Performing a ritual, practice, or casting a spell? Don't shout about it on every corner. Nobody has to know. Otherwise, nothing will come of it. In the lectures of the School of Practical Light Magic, I covered in detail the reasons for this phenomenon. Now, I would not like to go into multi-page esoteric speculations, therefore, I hope, they will take my word for it. As a last resort, information about the pillars of magic, anyone can easily find on the Internet.

I have always been amazed by clowns, hung with amulets, rings, amulets, like a Christmas tree, dragging a whole suitcase of magical paraphernalia and, in each of their actions, trying to use the maximum number of crutches. A ritual is needed - only in a certain phase of the moon, only with certain incense, only through the appeal to a certain force, only with the use of all representatives of the elements, only with perfectly evenly drawn geometric figures ... and so on and so forth. There is a good anecdote about a ritualist and a battle mage.

“Do you even know what a ritualist can do to you?”
- If he has time to spread out his rattles ...

I am a combat mage and have striven for autonomy all my magical life. In my opinion, the magician should remain combat-ready, even lying naked in the middle of the desert, with his hands tied and a kyap in his mouth. And this desire has already saved the lives of me, my loved ones and my patients countless times. Even now, lying in the hospital with nothing on me, I treat, practice and work with patients quite effectively. Ritual magic is a great tool. But everything has its time and place. It is not universal and can set you up very seriously, at the most inopportune moment.

Ritual Magic - How to get around

I will try to share a few secrets. First of all, of course, it is very important to be able to do without numerous magical paraphernalia. If you wear some kind of amulet all the time, then if you lose it, you will lose some of your usual opportunities. In an emergency, this can be critical. Therefore, I recommend not to become attached to amulets and external receptacles of energy. If you always work with incense, candles, certain music, or a combination of other, familiar circumstances, sooner or later, their absence will play a cruel joke on you. Learn to concentrate "on dry", without crutches. If you always, for the same work, use a knife, stone, wand, or other ritual object that concentrates your will, learn to do without it. The index finger is not much less effective, and, fortunately, it is much more difficult to lose it than a knife. Ideally, it is necessary to be able to direct and concentrate energy, with one's own will. At the very least, with ethereal hands. It's easy enough to feel them. The main thing is to start. Try to feel the energy of your hands and, without raising your physical hands, separate the ethereal ones from the body. This will immediately solve the problem with the use of gestures, for objectification. I think everyone is aware that the impact materialized by any physical manifestation, be it a word, a look, a gesture, or a spectacular snap of the fingers, is incomparably more effective. The use of thin bodies partly compensates for this. Not always a person has the opportunity to twist the giving hand around the chakras. But there is always an opportunity to close your eyes, concentrate and do it with the ethereal hand. Likewise, it won't always be possible to cast the spell out loud. But there is always the opportunity to clearly pronounce it to oneself, injecting words with one's own will and energy into the very fabric of reality.

Magic is available even to a dying and paralyzed person. To accomplish it, it is enough to maintain clarity of mind. Moreover, applied in time, magic can save the life of you and your loved ones. However, you need to use it skillfully. At the same time, always striving for maximum autonomy. The human world is extremely fragile. And your house of cards of self-confidence can be easily destroyed by illness, captivity, the resolution of communication with an energy source and, most elementary, the removal of ritual paraphernalia. Therefore, practice in any place and under any circumstances. But keep the secret.

At present, in order to attract what you want, you do not need to leaf through a bunch of literature or go to professional magicians for help.

Preparation for magical practices

Do not rush to do magic on your own - as in any business, here you also need to go through the preparatory stage of training:

  • free your mind from unnecessary thoughts;
  • accurately determine the end result;
  • let go of all problems;
  • practice entering a meditative state.

Magic rite for the fulfillment of desires

Collect your thoughts and think about your dream.

Pick up a white handkerchief (preferably new) and say a wish over it. Clench the fabric tightly in your fist and say:

“My cherished desire will be fulfilled by the great spirit of the Lord’s help, for the Heavenly Father helps those who ask for his help. Help will come in ways unknown to me, my desire will grow into reality, it will acquire a path for fulfillment through events. The Holy Spirit will give the servant of God (name) what I ask for. I will tie a handkerchief for my desire, I will ask God for it and I will wait for its fulfillment. Amen".

At the end of the magical ritual, tie a handkerchief and hide it in a secret place. Do not touch him until the desired is fulfilled.

Rituals with candles

Candles and their magic have been used in magic since ancient times. There is practically no single ritual in which a candle would not participate. This is a symbol of one of the most powerful elements of nature - Fire. She is able to attract love, happiness, money, prosperity. The fiery force kindles passions in the soul of a person and helps to find one's own path.

Consider the most powerful rituals and rituals with candles:

"Ladder of Wealth"

You need to stock up on natural candles, green woolen thread, carnation buds (there should be exactly nine of them) and a candlestick. Also bring matches or a lighter.

When all paraphernalia is completely ready, tie the buds with green thread. Leave approximately the same distance between each bud.

Take weaving in your hands and say:

“I, the servant of God (name), created with my own hands a ladder of nine knots. She created it so that I could use it to get to great wealth, to family well-being. I, the servant of God (name), wish to have a lot of money. This is my will. May it come true what is said. Amen. Amen. Amen".

Now wrap the candle with thread. For nine days you must light the wick - it is better to do this in the evening.

Remember that the ceremony is performed during the growing moon. And before the sacred action, you should take a bath and do a general cleaning - as before any magical rite. Follow all the recommendations, and the Magic Candle ritual will definitely help you.

"Love Magic"

Cover the table with a pink or red tablecloth, and in the very middle of it, draw a heart with crayon or felt-tip pen. Place two candles and light them. Choose the color to your liking.

Say the incantation text:

“Great Goddess of Love, I am a slave (name), I need your help. I call on your infinite power. I ask you, Goddess, light the fire of love in two hearts, save this fire, do not let it go out and flicker. May my love (name) with a man (name) only grow stronger from year to year, but bring happiness to us. May it be so".

Do not extinguish the candles - let their flame go out on its own. All leftovers - ashes and pieces of wax - transfer to a sheet of foil. You can draw hearts on the foil or write the name of a loved one.

Carefully roll everything up and leave it in a secluded place so that no one interferes with the magic to work.

Ritual on the night before Christmas

If you are not the owner of good health, magic will help you.

On the sixth of January, put a linen towel on the table and say a magic spell over it:

“I, the servant of God (name), speak in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, from seventy-seven ailments, from seventy-seven diseases, from the pain of love, from the night light, from dryness. From a traveling cancer, from an epileptic fit, from spoilage and writhing. As the Blessed Mother Mother of God washed her Son, wiped it with a linen towel, so You, God, bless mine, Your servants (name) flax. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Whom I, the servant of God (name), I will wipe with a linen towel, from that seventy-seven ailments and diseases will be erased. May it come true what is said. Amen".

“The Savior was born on this day, and light appeared throughout the world. I, the servant of God (name), will also be saved with that light. I will have mental strength, physical strength. May it come true what is said. Amen".

Rituals for the New Year

New Year's time ... What could be more magical? Use every minute - make wishes, perform rituals, communicate with the Higher Forces.

Mystical spells will interfere with your destiny and help change reality. The next occult rite will attract true love to you.

When the clock strikes ten o'clock in the evening, put a couple of glasses filled with red wine on the table. Place a burning candle between them - it is desirable that it be red. Bring the silver ring to your mouth and say:

“Ring-ring, roll onto the porch, from there onto the path, from it to the stove, which is in the house near my heart. Let my love find that ringlet, let it go on the road, let it walk along the path. Yes, not to the devil, not to the mermaid, not to the queen, not to the king, but to me, who holds the ring in his hands. That love is waiting for it, that it trembles in the heart, that it does not take its eyes off, that it starts a love song.

Put out the fire and throw the ring out the window. Drain one glass to the bottom, leave the second on the table until morning.

Another New Year's ritual that activates defense mechanisms. Its mystical action will save you from material and moral losses, drive away evil enemies and troubles.

Exactly five minutes to twelve o'clock, pick the Christmas tree toy from the branch and break it. Above the shards, say the following words:

“The bone-breaking dog guards my house both at night and during the day, goes after small children, wanders after husbands and wives, that no one has touched them, no one has offended them, no one has done evil, no one has opened a black mouth on them. And whoever creates an offense, that dog-bone-breaker will send him to the next world! I’m talking about myself and my blood, on the roof and on the threshold, on the door and on the window, so that nothing dashing through the strong walls passes.

Sweep them under the entryway and leave them there for a week. After that, bury the remains of a glass toy under a young fruit tree.
