Water Elemental Facts

There are many interesting facts about the elemental water that is involved in Wicca. Today I want to share some of those from the Water Elemental.

Water ritual tool is a Chalice, or as some call it the cauldron, and consecrated water. The tarot card association is the card of Cups. Zodiac signs are Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. It’s associated color is purple/blue.

This week I read more about Visualization and the importance of it. Visualization is a major concept of spellcasting. It also leads to dramatic shifts and accomplishes. Basically, it is the imagination and there are different depth at which you can reach.

Visualization uses peacefulness, a relaxed state for creation and altered states, while increasing awareness by controlled and conscious intent, contact, manifestation, and summoning.

In this installment I gained an understanding of why one needed a clear conscious to cast a spell. Spells are not spoke to others, because it can cause a manifestation of thoughts, which is why you need to be clearly grounded when you cast a spell. People avoid speaking spells to avoid it being taken in a different manner than they wished.

Meditation is something we’ve all heard about. Many of us use a version each day, or when life becomes too much. But . . .

It is a very old skill that has been practice around the world among magicians, witches, wizards, and monks. The term is a Westernized term for taming the wild beast, or forefront of the mind. This talent allows one to halt and transfer the everyday emotional assaults through a positive will. Result being a tranquil mind.

So, other than having a peaceful mind what does this have to do with Witchcraft. Well, my resource says one must always become centered before a ritual. Best way to do that is become tranquil. Still confused as to this helps, well the book says:

“The process of mediation is like a stimulant that helps your center open and close freely and intentionally and more obviously than before.”

At the end of the introduction of Witchcraft Theory and Practice by Ly de Angles the author states there are two aspects to the work and training.

1.       “the discipline of training the magical will through tried and true methods”.

2.        “the religious training, ritual observances, and spellcrafting techniques”. 

Witchcraft Monday

Last week I gave you a snippet of my newest resource book that I’m reading. This week I’m going to give you another small taste of it. Last week’s and this week’s post is a start to a series of post. I’m reading this resource book for some research, but am finding the material wonderful and wanted to share some of my findings with you. So, each week, I’ve decided to post another small bit of what I read the previous week.

Hope you find it as interesting as I do.

“. . . and when you know the magic believes in you, how can you not?”

No Turning Back – Ly de Angeles

Today I wanted to share this saying from Rituals, Spellcasting & Sorcery Witchcraft Theory and Practice by Ly de Angeles

No Turning Back

Once you have chosen to take upon yourself the obligation of the practice of Witchcraft, then the effects or the immanence, of this way of life will be bestowed on you from aligned intelligence, and so will test that accompany any them.

Anyone who willingly opens themselves to powers beyond he veil of manifestation (as we understand it) opens themselves to the possibility of inner initiation. Witches know that they are witches, but initiation is what seals that knowledge through the power of ritual and the intent inherent within the process itself, to a deeper strata of recognition and response both within oneself and from the power to which we are oathed.

Once initiation has occurred, there is no turning back – you will quest all your life, it is not a thing to do thoughtlessly.
