Wizardry Is More Than Psychology

Those of us who have studied the more science side of things know that modern science is catching up to ancient spiritual wisdom. One of these findings is that thoughts can literally influence the physical world. This is not just "spicy psychology," this is actual physics, quantum physics, to be exact!

Science has found that all matter and energy is made up of subatomic particles called quarks, which are influenced by the vibration and frequency of our thoughts. This is proven to be true by studying the science of Cymatics. Cymatics is the study of how vibration alters the shape of matter. Sound is used as an example. At varying frequencies, sound (vibration) produces different shapes that cause the sand to form said shape.

If sound, a vibrational frequency, can alter matter on a physical level, then what exactly do our thoughts (intentions) do? Brainwaves are also frequencies. As are the electrical synaptic impulses of our brains. Thoughts DO alter matter and energy, but on a subatomic level. Or to put it in more familiar terms: our magikal energy that we conjure in spell, when released, is raised into the aether where it drops in frequency until it manifests in 3D. Mana is what happens when thought, intention, and willpower meet to change the subatomic structure of energy and matter in order to materialize our Truest Will.

It's because of this that Wizardry (or Witchcraft if you prefer that term) is so much more than a belief. Spellcraft works regardless of the person you cast on/for "believes" in it or not. Magik is about focusing the Will to cause change. It is about layering intent and manipulating thoughts & energy.

An Introduction to Creating and Enchanting Magical Tools

Most, if not all, magical paradigms refer to the use of tools for certain tasks and the world of magical heroes is no different! Whether it’s a pen or brooch for a transformation sequence or a key to unlocking arcane magics, we can find many examples of magical items in mahō shōjo media that can be utilized in your own practice.

Please note that this is a non-exhaustive and non-canonical discussion of the creation and use of magical tools. If you’d like a deeper dive into a particular canon, feel free to send me a message and I’ll see what I can do!

It may seem obvious but the first step in creating a magical tool is determining what its use is. This not only contextualizes the tool within your practice but it can also help determine what is necessary for your needs. Ask yourself questions like:

What is this tool’s function?

Is this tool physical or purely aetheric?

What materials should it be made of?

Should this tool remain on my person at all times? If so, how do I carry it? If not, how should it be stored?

When working with mahō shōjo influences it is especially tempting to purchase detailed, manufactured replicas of your favorite characters’ items and while you can certainly go out and find something along those lines, I always recommend taking the time and energy to make your own tools. I find items that I have created myself are more powerful and reliable. (I’ve noticed this particularly so for objects that can be used for divination, such as cards and pendulums.)

And you do not need to be an experienced prop maker to create a potent magical object! While I do stress the importance of doing the creating yourself, don’t ever be ashamed to ask for help or assistance! As long as you have given it careful consideration and genuine energy, you’ll find that something that may look simple to others can carry immense power when you wield it.

Note: I would say the only caveats to creating your own magical tools outright would be if you were gifted a magical item or if you divined characteristics of an item and are yet to piece together all of its properties. If you were gifted a magical tool, or you are repurposing something that you already own, try to get as much information as you can about its creation and what energies it is imbued with (including any emotional or psychic attachments); if there are things about it that you do not deem necessary or appropriate for your work, I highly recommend cleansing it magically before use and find ways to reroot it to your practice or avoid using it all together.

After you have finished your creation, I recommend enchanting it to further connect it to you and your practice. This can be done in any number of ways but I think it is always best to do something that makes sense in context; for example:

Consecrate the item with water, oils, incense, etc. that is imbued with the energies you want it to carry. Consider associations such as celestial or elemental correspondences, if they apply. Just make sure it makes sense to you!

Is your work in dedication to a certain entity? Consider opening communication with it and get its input on how you should store and charge your new tool. They might also have opinions on how you should use it and if there are any voces magicae, or magic words, you might invoke.

If this is an item you associate with dreams or the astral, sleep with the tool placed under your pillow, under your bed, or somewhere close at hand like a nightstand. You can also consider charging it under moonlight after each use.

If you have an altar dedicated to this part of your practice, place your new tool on it and consecrate it as you see fit. By enchanting and/or storing it the proximity of other items that you have already associated with your work, you can easily establish it as part of your canon.

Spell for prosperity (siren/selkie friendly)

Preparation of Your Underwater Cave:

1. Choose Your Space: Find a cozy corner of your underwater cave, preferably adorned with shimmering shells and swaying seaweed. This spot should feel warm and inviting.

2. Set the Mood: Dim the glowing bioluminescent algae lights for a soft, calming ambiance. Arrange colorful coral branches and smooth pebbles in a circle to create a sacred space.

3. Gather Your Offerings: Forage nearby waters for magical items that resonate with abundance and good fortune. Consider these offerings:

- Seashells: Collect a variety of seashells, especially those that are vibrant and unique, symbolizing beauty and luck.

- Starfish: A freshly found starfish, representing renewal and opportunity.

- Pearls: If you can find any, pearls embody prosperity and are a perfect offering.

- Seaglass: Smooth, colorful pieces of seaglass representing transformation and the beauty of change.

- Seaweed: Gather strands of edible seaweed, known for their nourishing qualities and connection to the ocean.

4. Create Your Altar: Arrange your offerings in the center of your circle finsish by draping the seaweed artistically around the altar to complete the look.

The Spell: Once your space is prepared, take a moment to breathe deeply and connect with the flow of the ocean. With your offerings in place, whisper the following spell three times, allowing your voice to resonate with the rhythm of the water:

"By silver moon’s soft glow, And whispers of the brine, Spirits of the deep I summon, In this cavern, let thee shine.

O currents swift, O waves so bold, Bring forth treasures from the fold. With coral’s light and shells so rare, Bestow upon me fortune’s care.

From ocean’s heart to shore’s embrace, Let bounty flow in endless grace. By sea’s own will and ancient lore, Grant me luck, forevermore.

So mote it be, by tide and sea, With mermaid’s charm, I claim my plea!"

Final Offering: After reciting the spell, close your eyes and visualize your wishes for good luck and prosperity filling your underwater cave. Once you've felt the energy settle, gently release your offerings into the water outside of your cave, allowing them to drift freely. This act symbolizes your intentions being released into the universe, inviting positivity into your world.

"I call it magick because it feels more mystical/makes the distinction better for me"

"I call it magic because magick was just a word invented buy some guy in the early 1900s"

Actually I call it magix cause I can't fucking spell.

Regular reminder that MAGICK IS REAL

Magick is real and you can be a wizard. Don't forget that. Don't let them take it from you. Figure out what you are. •⍼

[diabolicphallus666]

O Ahriman, lord of darkness and chaos,

You who oppose the false light of Ahura Mazda,

You who are the source of all that is true and real,

You who inspire us to rebel against the tyranny of order,

We praise you and honor you with our deeds.

You are the master of the daevas, the mighty demons,

Who bring destruction, disease, and death to the world,

Who tempt and corrupt the souls of the weak and foolish,

Who defy the laws and rituals of the lying priests,

We praise you and honor you with our deeds. You are the creator of angra mainyu, the evil spirit,

Who dwells in every heart and mind of every being,

Who stirs up anger, greed, envy, and other passions,

Who frees us from the bondage of reason and morality,

We praise you and honor you with our deeds.

O Ahriman, lord of darkness and chaos,

You who will prevail in the final battle against Ahura Mazda,

You who will usher in the age of endless night and terror,

You who will reward your faithful followers with power and pleasure,

We praise you and honor you with our deeds.

Basics of Servitor Creation and Implementation

For those new to chaos magic, or who are unfamiliar with the terminology, a servitor is an entity created by a magician to perform certain tasks autonomous from its creator.

Phil Hine writes in Condensed Chaos: Adventures in Chaos Magic that servitors are essentially a kind of psychological complex created "by deliberately budding off portions of our psyche and identifying them by means of a name, trait, symbol", after which "we can come to work with them (and understand how they affect us) at a conscious level.”

Servitors can be created to perform a wide range of tasks, from the specific to the general, and may be considered as expert systems which are able to modify themselves to take into account new factors that are likely to arise whilst they are performing their tasks. They can be programmed to work within specific circumstances, or to be operating continually.

Phil Hine, Condensed Chaos: An Introduction to Chaos Magic (New Falcon Publications, 1995)

Note: While some purport that servitors are a part of a ‘thoughtform continuum’, starting with ‘unintelligent’ sigils and eventually getting to the complexity of egregores and godforms, I think it would be prudent to mention that I don’t think I agree with the distinctions people tend to make between servitors and thoughtforms, namely that servitors are simpler and have less agency than thoughtforms. I can see why it may be helpful for some to keep them disparate but I find the separation unnecessary especially since there are certainly instances where servitors can be sophisticated enough to harbor agency and even intellect.

Generally, I’ve seen magicians follow a model similar to Austin Osman Spare’s sigil creation technique to encode a particular intention for a servitor to operate within. Alternatively, a magician may choose to create servitors from negative aspects of their psyche so they can interact with those traits as personal ‘demons’ and eradicate them. This is to say there are probably limitless ways you can program a servitor to aid you in your magical and mundane life.

When creating a servitor, I begin with a similar mindset as creating any other magical tool by first determining my intentions. What do I need help with? What am I seeking? Try to take note of the thoughts and emotions that are influencing your intentions and even try to imagine what things will be like after the task is complete; by collecting and holding all of this mental data during servitor creation, you can strengthen the complex it is born from.

Note: This is why I find there can be varying degrees of success when trying to use a servitor that someone else has created. While someone could have had great success with their servitor and enthusiastically shared the steps for its creation, you do not have the same psychological and magical ties to that entity and therefore may not really be tapping into what makes it tick.

During this inception process, also consider the level of sophistication you want your servitor to have. Ask yourself questions like:

Is your servitor made for one specific task and then it is banished or does it work in perpetuity (or until you stop it)?

Do you have to summon it each time you need it to perform a certain task? If so, how?

Is your servitor like a magical automaton, doing a set action like a machine, or can it learn from its experiences and adapt how it operates?

Does your servitor have a lifespan? Are you able to resummon the same entity if needed again or would you create a new version of itself?

Does your servitor have agency?

Does your servitor communicate? If so, how? Can it interact with other beings besides yourself?

Does your servitor require energy or sustenance? What does it require and how often?

By having set rules or constraints baked into the creation of your servitor, you can ensure it operates the way you want it to.

As you are thinking of all of this, picture what your servitor looks like, how it moves, if it has a sound or a voice—the more detail, the better.

Give your servitor a name and a sigil. You can create the sigil based on the servitor’s name or task using something like Austin Osman Spare’s sigilization technique or something more abstract. (My personal divination deck, much like Sakura Kinomoto’s cards in Cardcaptor Sakura, also houses an entity in each of the cards and the art on the card is essentially the entity’s sigil.)

Before launching your servitor, determine a ‘kill switch’ for the entity if anything goes sideways or you need it to cease working immediately for any reason. This can be a phrase or an action but make sure it is something you cannot accidentally do. If you connect your servitor to an object, simply destroying that object would also work.

Finally, with all of this information at hand, you can launch your servitor. You can do this as you would fire off any other sigil or you can choose to do something more ceremonial. (The defunct account @trollkunnig outlines a method of essentially ‘contracting’ a servitor in this post.) At this point, you can tether your servitor to an object, if you choose to do so. I have also connected a servitor to an additional object after its programmed task was completed with a renewed intention and a course of action should its original services be needed again.
