Magick Working Journal

09/26/11

In meditation today I continued to use the roman numeral visualization to control my four-fold breath. It works well and is a keeper. I also visualized Baphomet again. This was more of a summoning than him coming unbidden. He imparted no new information, but didn’t seem put-out to be there.

During meditation I felt as if someone I have known was trying to contact me, or thinking of me. I hope she’s okay.

During banishing, my index finger now automatically goes over the cross-piece of my sword. It seems more natural that way, a more stable grip. Not effective for using a sword in combat but seems to be good for ritual. A small detail, but perhaps significant.

I have been thinking about magickal terminology and once again entertaining the idea of writing a book on magick. I’m not sure if I really have enough experience, but I may give it a shot anyway. It can only be good for me in my own practice. A new blog post may be in the works.

Magick Working Journal

Since I am using tumblr for my dream journal why not take it one step further and use it for my magick working journal as well?

Realized that my muse needs a place to sit and join me for meditation and ritual. I will lay out my black padded circle for her. 

Decided during meditation today to work on breathing and visualization. Using four-fold breaths, I imagined roman numerals floating just in front of my forehead. Burning blue on the inhale, burning red on the exhale. I was able to keep this going for some time but realized that it prevented me from relaxing my mind enough to receive visions. 

When I stopped counting I was immediately visited by Baphomat. I was sitting beside him around a fire. He kept trying to give me something and eventually I was able to reach out and take it. It was a book which at the same time was a yellow flower. 

I am taking this as him advising me to learn more about the natural world. There may be more to it. 

Finished with banishing.
