Midnight City: the Ritual

Don't be afraid to lose. Don't worry if it doesn't turn out exactly how you envisioned it. Be careful what you wish for.

Supplies:

Acacia Wood: psychic enhancement Alcohol: offering for the spirits Balm of Gilead Tears: summoning, manifestation Bat's Head Root: obtain wishes Black Walnut: Access divine energy, encourage blessings from deities Blood: soul signature, life force, sacrifice Dittany of Crete: manifestation, astral projection, underworld energy Hyssop: Spiritual opening Jezebel Root: achievement, darkness, risk Job's tears: perseverance through hard times Road Opening Oil: to encourage clearing of the path ahead Graveyard Dirt: veil slipping, necromancy, summoning Diatomite: achieve honest desires Mercury: crossroads, life force, death, communication, necromancy Chalk, to draw the door to enter the city Cauldron Chalice 12 12" taper candles Cross Roads Athame, ceremonial blade Black veil Sigils of Bathin, Malphas, Bifrons, Murmur, Gremory, and Seere Sigils of 6 ancestors to protect you on your journey

Instructions:

Begin the ritual on a Saturday morning with a New Moon ahead for the night. Spend the day meditating on what you want, communing with your ancestors, petitioning for protection for the journey ahead. Treat your body and mind well, drink plenty of water. As the day moves ahead and the sun begins to set, take a shower and envision washing your old self away like paint rubbing off of your skin. If you can, bathe in a natural body of water after your initial shower. Utilise the energy of water for its ability to show you what's on the other side of the veil as well as slip one through to the other side. When finished with the water, change into all black clothing and put on your black veil, whether it be a simple piece of fabric or an ornate veil.

At 11:30 begin your way to the crossroads with your supplies. Make sure to find one that is relatively quiet and unused. You will start the ritual by casting your circle with the white chalk. Mark twelve points on the circle, draw a line halfway through the circle and draw a door on top of the line. This door is your entrance, and if you succeed, it will not be your exit. Be cautioned, this ritual is only for those who are ready to leave behind what they knew in favor for what their heart truly desires. By entering Midnight City, you enter a domain of darkness, chaos, and infinite potential.

Continue to set the space by placing a candle at each point. Place the sigil of Bathin at 12, an ancestor at 1, Malphas at 2, an ancestor at 3, Bifrons at 4, an ancestor at 5, Murmur at 6, an ancestor at 7, Gremory at 8, an ancestor at 9, Seere at 10, and an ancestor at 11.

Light each candle, moving in a star pattern. Walk the circle clockwise 12 times, end in the center and take a seat in front of the door, where your cauldron and chalice sit.

Pour the alcohol you brought as libation into the chalice and take a sip for yourself from the bottle.

In the cauldron begin a fire with the acacia wood. Let the smoke pour over you and breathe it in, feeling your psychic gifts attune and grow in power. Start the fire spell by throwing in dried hyssop, the spiritual opener. Throw the Bat's Head Root into the fire, bringing forth your greatest wishes. Build the fire with black walnut wood to access divine energies and encourage the demonic deities to bless you. Burn your dried Dittany of Crete to aid in manifestation, astral projection, and bring the underworld to you.

Take your athame, make yourself bleed and smudge your blood onto the Jezebel Root. This represents yours life force signature and your dedication to achieving your wish, your recognition of the risks involved, and accepting the darkness in and around yourself. Throw the root into the fire. Sprinkle Job's Tears into the fire to aid in your perseverance. Now that the fire has plenty of heat, add your Balm of Gilead Tears as an offering for summoning the spirits. The fire will soon go out, when it begins to dim, kill the flame with graveyard dirt, and add pieces of diatomite to the mix of ashes, resin and dirt. Smooth the surface, pour some road opening oil and smooth a final time before adding enough mercury to create a mirror.

Scry into the liquid metal. Repeat:

"Bathin, lead me to the city. Seere, see me to my wishes, mark me abundant. Bifrons, mark me intelligent in your realms. Murmur, bring to me the souls I wish to see. Malphas, act on behalf of my pains. Gremory, speak to me of the past and beyond."

This chant will bring youinto a trance. From their seat, you will rise and step upon the door. After you've stepped onto the door, you will disappear from the site and find yourself out of trance in a completely dark world. The previous part of the ritual was only the opening ceremony. It couldn't be that easy, could it? The six ancestors that you've called upon will be in the world with you, facing the same dangers you do. In this world, you are not human, but soul. The beings in this world are not friendly to human souls, besides the owners of the realm, the demons you've called on.

You will begin to walk forward, quietly. The beings in Midnight City are aware of your entrance and are seeking to find you. Even though you are in the dark, you have an advantage. You have your ancestors to guide you and give you help. Be sure to be quiet and take every single word your ancestors say seriously. Don't fall into fear.

To make it past the monsters, you must control your fear as it begins to smell and your path becomes laden with twigs and pits. Should you remain calm and focused, your path will be straight and clear. There is no set distance or time to the path, everything depends on you. You burned Job's Tears for a reason.

Should you fail and be caught, your soul will become trapped in Midnight City along with your ancestors souls, paying the ultimate price seven times. In darkness, you will wander, wounded and perpetually dying. You may be eaten whole, you may just be scratched, but if you're found, you've lost.

Should you succeed, you will begin to see a light coming toward you. You will be at a crossroad that fits the reality that coincides with your heart's desire. Your ancestors and demons will surround you, and tell you about what will change. This is your only way out, if you don't like it, you face falling into the trap of Midnight City forever or going into a reality you fear.

Diatomite: Between Witches and Cats

You have a cat? Do you have litter? Then you probably have something interesting between your pet's paws. Today: Diatomite and its possible uses (long post).

First, disclaimer. There are many types of litter, made of different materials, today I will only talk about diatomite (those white porous stones).

I'm going to get into a topic that I touched lightly a while ago. The uses for feline sanitary stones (uses in witchcraft, because it has many uses in the everyday life, which can be googled in 3 seconds). It is not exactly a 100% safe material, but it is cheap and anyone who has a cat inside the house probably has a bag of it.

Let's start from the base. What is it? It is a siliceous sedimentary rock, formed by microfossils of diatoms, which are unicellular aquatic algae that secrete a siliceous skeleton called a frustule. That is, a stone formed by algae fossils. FOSSIL STONE. First interesting fact.

Diatomite then has 3 “parts”. It is a rock, a sediment that remains between layers of stone and earth. It is a fossil of a plant. From an aquatic plant. Therefore, its rock/fossil nature gives it the correspondence of Earth, while its aquatic plant past gives it the correspondence of Water.

From the “algae fossil” section, let us remember the characteristics of both.

Fossils: There is a lot of information about fossils out there in the ocean of the internet, so I'll keep this short and basic; In general it brings protection, security, stability, long life, good for grounding, great tools for ancestral work, etc.

Algae: The ocean itself is a source of endless wisdom, healing and magical powers, it is the “primordial soup of life on earth.” Algae, due to be so much out there, provide good luck and abundance, and are often considered a bridge between land and water. Due to their characteristic of living in the shadows of the sea, they are also imbued with dark and deep energies, which is not usually the norm among other plants (terrestrial plants, in general, are loaded with solar energy, while algae have less of this element). That is why it is said that algae are more linked to the moon than to the sun.

This characteristic of darkness, moon and depth makes them a great tool to summon entities (Mermaids and Merme, Gods and Goddesses of the Sea, Nymphs) and dark entities in general.

Being a plant that grows, is born and dies surrounded by salt water, its energy repellent capabilities are more than evident. Salt + water + moon = extreme banishing powers (drive away evil spirits, change bad luck, neutralize negative energies, neutralize curses).

Although not all algae have the same magical properties, they do share the aforementioned.

Diatoms (the algae that make up diatomite) are microscopic algae, basically Phytoplankton. These algae are responsible for half of the planet's oxygen.

With that we already have a wealth of useful characteristics for witchcraft, just considering its basic physical properties. But there is more.

Now let's remember some of the uses of diatomite: It is used as a filtration aid, mild abrasive, mechanical insecticide, absorbent for liquids, cat litter, thermal insulator, and a soil for potted plants.

Filter? This ability can be used when a spell is needed that lets the good through, but not the bad, to get rid of small annoyances.

Absorbent? Just as some recommend activated charcoal to make curses that fuck up the effects of medicines, this stone can do the same. And it can absorb both the good and the bad.

Thermal insulator? Perfect to add to “freezer spells”, since in addition to isolating it from any “warmth”, it filters it, leaving the person behind. Added to the banishing capabilities of the algae.

Safety Notice: Diatomite dust is bad for the lungs. The toxicity is low, one time will not hurt, but breathing it for a long time can cause harmful effects. Being abrasive and absorbent, it can dry out your hands, so it is suggested to use gloves. But likewise... Those harmful abilities can be perfect for ruining the health of someone who really deserves it.

But until now we have talked about the “clean” version. Let's remember what we said at the beginning, it's litter. Absorbs cat urine. If you have a cat and have the stomach for it, you can use the used stones.

What better element for a curse than cat urine? It is waste, toxic, with a pungent, repulsive smell, highly difficult to remove...

Extra important safety: Do NOT wash any cat urine with bleach, the chemical reaction is highly toxic. Water and detergent ALWAYS.

Diatomite can also absorb other things (less or more disgusting, it depends on you) and function as a “liquid soaked in rock”, you can add different liquids to enhance it according to your interests. Consecrated water, holy water, sun or moon water. Perfume, blood, herbal oil, tears (?), sweat, drinks, coffee, milk, tea, potions... A world of possibilities.

In addition, it can function as a miniature “spell jar” that does not attract attention. Liquid spell, imbue it in the stones and leave it where it is needed, its absorbent properties will make it very difficult for someone to smell it and the “just rock/trash” appearance makes it perfect for stealthy spells or for closed witches.

Anyway, next time you buy litter, maybe it's a good idea to save some for yourself!
