#dream Magic

[raining-tulips]

I had a dream last night I danced and sung at the edge of the woods - and that the forest sang back.

[bookmothic-dyke]

Here is all my magic systems I’ve made.

They’re listed from favorite to least favorite. The last one definitely needs some work, and is a little problematic currently. Haven’t touched it for a bit. But included it for wholeness sake.

Haemocraft: Blood Sorcery,

Magic User: Blood Sorcerer, Sorcerer

Concept: Blood is used as a fuel source to power the bolstering and alteration of living organic matter. Can change DNA, gene expression, and structure. Even passing scientific limits to a degree.

Limitations: The amount of blood as well as heat and pain capacity are hard limits to use. Works better the closer in genetics the flesh is to the user’s blood. Can’t truly break biology, only stretch it. Takes a lot of meditation and medical knowledge to pull off to any degree beyond basics.

Cost: Fresh blood from the vain is spilt from a cut and burns away. Can lead to anemia symptoms. Also may cause pain and burns, especially with overuse.

Subtypes:

Immolation: Rapid burning of blood to bolster physical ability and/or senses to superhuman levels.

Skinshifting: Altering of gene expression to temporarily change the physical body of the user. Such as mimicking other people or turning into animals.

Calligraphy. Complex “spellcraft” using Blood Runes(nucleotides). Basically genetic engineering. Can be used for trans reasons.

Weaving: Sculpting of flesh, harming or mending it. Good for surgery and murder. Also includes trans surgeries.

Witchcraft: Old Magic, Fae Magic

Magic User: Witch, Curseling

Concept: Accessing the Wode(madness), to alter reality with sympathetic magic (evocations). Innate magic of elemental manipulation and sometimes Legacies(inherited fae curses, turned magic).

Limitations: Magic must be done through the elemental aspect, and draws power from it, as it’s the aspect of reality they are metaphysically attuned to. Also negated by iron, and undone by fae weaknesses and wards. Usually pretty weak and subtle in most cases, besides elemental manipulation.

Cost: Requires blood like Haemocraft, but doesn’t burn. Drains mental energy, overuse can cause psychological harm and the growth of the witchmark(physical representation of the degradation of the mortal soul due to the fae soul shard within them). Overuse will eventually turn a user into a Feylost, an unstable and mad fae creature ruled by their legacies and elemental aspect.

Subtypes:

Human Aspects: Physical aspects of reality’s makeup. Fire, water, earth, air, light, and dark.

Elven Aspects: Temporal aspects of reality’s cycle. Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring, Dawn, and Dusk.

Orcish Aspects: Emotional aspects of reality’s experience. Joy, Terror, Sorrow, Wrath, Love, and Hate.

Bane Origin: Magic inherited though blood of murder. Witch killed a fae, or someone along a chain of murder killed a fae. Magic is generally powerful but unstable. Prone to Feyloss.

Bairn Origin: Magic inherited through blood of birth. Witch has a fae ancestor. Most stable magic, highest potential.

Boon Origin: Magic inherited through blood of promise. Witch made a promise with fae, or someone along a chain of promise keepers. Least powerful, but most specialized.

Winnowing

Magic User: Winnower, Blight Child

Concept: Manipulation of unreality myst, as body has adapted to the Blight caused by the myst, to then warp reality. A single innate winnowing, along various more subtle expressions of their subtype.

Limitations: can’t be used outside of the myst. Highly resisted by man made or altered materials.

Cost: Overuse causes aggravation of Blight symptoms, including paralysis, psychosis, loss of senses, moods of memetic presence, and eventually erasure from reality. As the body becomes unstable and less “real”. Uses myst as the power source as well as medium, so needed.

Subtypes:

Memetic(Wink): Abilities that affect the minds of others (or sometimes inanimate information). Telepathy, mind control, gift of tongues, technopathy, and phuanapathy.

Kinetic(Polter): Abilities that affect physical matter and forces. Telekinesis, pyrokinesis, electrokinesis, kinetic absorption, golden touch, and sound manipulation.

Esper(Glint): Abilities that allow for senses of things beyond normal means. Future sight, enhanced hearing, psychometry, thermal perception, and ghost sight.

Shifter(Pollywog): Abilities that allow for the changing of physical form. Animal forms, face masquerading, monstrous form, shrinking, and sex shifting.

Noding:

Magic User: Runner, Superhuman, Node, Nyxie

Concept: Nanites in bloodstream of those chosen by the sapient city districts. This black blood gives them enhanced physical abilities, senses, healing, and one of two other power systems. Glass or steel.

Limitations: They need the associated element to use their powers beyond physical enhancement. Nanites may also break down over time without connection to the city grid.

Cost: Nanites run out of power eventually, and the users must consume more than normal to sustain themselves.

Subtypes:

Steelstrider: powers related to the generation of electromagnetic force and energy. Can manipulate ferromagnetic metals.

- Termite: skilled at the power to physically move and shape metal.

- Moth: skilled at the generation, control, and absorption of electricity and light.

- Gnat: skilled at levitating and moving about with the repulsive force acting on surrounding metal.

Glasswalker: power related to the use of a sub space accessed through glass. Can phase through glass.

- Sparrow: skilled at navigation sub space to make ranged and precise jumps.

- Crow: skilled at storing objects on sub space and retreating them from the reflections of set panes, or their own reflection (aka pocket).

- Falcon: skilled at looking through glass sub space at range. Using it as a tool of observation.

Charming: Little Magick

Magic User: Enchanter, Inheritor

Concept: Some people have inherited minor magicks from the long gone fae of their world, these little magicks, or “charms” are all that is left of magic. These charms ware tied to a noun, to which they take from and power.

Limitations: Weak, almost non-existent, and usually unconscious in their use. They draw form their noun as a source of power. Flora need the given plant, fauna the animal, Monsterum an associated fear, Stella the celestial body, and Persona a given type of person. Powers relate to both the physical properties of the noun, and it’s cultural connotations.

Cost: Not much cost, besides energy.

Subtypes:

Flora: Phytopathy to a given type of plant, and a power associated with the plant. Rose(love sensing), Poppy(sleep induction), Belladonna(poison kiss)

Fauna: Phaunpathy to a given type of animal, and a power associated with the animal. Hawk(vision), Frog(jumping), octopus(camouflage skin)

Monstrum: Power associated with the given monster. Vampire (draw power form blood), werewolf (partial shapeshift), pheonix (healing)

Stella: Elemental manipulation and power associated with a given celestial body or phenomenon. Sun(fire and sunlight control), moon(moonlight and water control), meteorite (metal control)

Persona: Skills, initiation, and talent associated with a given archetype. Killer(killing efficiency), sailor(sailing and survival at sea), queen(governance and leadership)

Oneirism: Dreamwalking, AONS Syndrome

Magic User: Oneroi, Dreamwalker,

Concept: People with a supernatural neurodivergence caused by the dream realm entering a cyclical overlap with the material world. These people, after a traumatic event, have merged with their “dream self”, able to travel between the realms and draw in the nature of their dream self. Dream selves are connected to one of four realms in the unconscious dreaming of humanity: Arcana(madness and mythology), Gloam(mystery and horror), Cyber(dreams for the future/change), and Under(dreams for the past/stagnation). Dream selves look like the individual, and influenced by how they see themselves and others see them, as the dreaming realms are reflections of the real world.

Limitations: Need to have the neurodivergence to have the magic. Can’t affect physical reality except in certain places of strong emotions and dreams due to early stages of reality merger.

Cost: Can cause extreme metal exhaustion and eat away at sanity over time. Also use brings the realms together faster over time. Including possibly letting things from the dreaming into our world.

Subtypes:

Cyber: Trauma of loss. Dream self resembles a sci-fi archetype. Such as Androids, aliens, or superheroes.

Changeling: Trauma of mental illness. Dream self resembles a fae creature. Such as fae, werewolves, or giants.

Cryptid: Trauma of horror and existentialism. Dream self resembles a creature of urban legend. Such as Bigfoot, eldritch creature, or black eyed child.

Chthonic: Trauma of death. Dream self resembles an undead creature. Such as a ghost, zombie, or vampire.

Dream Spell Satchet

I created a dream spell sachet to help you remember your dreams, to aid you in astral projection, lucid dreaming and receiving messages from the divine/ancestors/spirits. It helps in protections on those journeys as well.

Purple sachet - Colour correspondence of psychic awareness

Rosemary - Dream remembrance, protection

Rose - Psychic awareness, divination

Chamomile - Sleep aid, protection

Clove - Protection

Lavender - Psychic abilities

Thyme - Clairsenses

Sigils for astral travel and divine connection

Quartz - Charged with the intent of

Amethyst - Psychic abilities and awareness

I suggest if you are an animist or someone who wants more power from your herbs. Speak to the herbs and crystals kindly, treat them less like an ingredient and ask them respectfully for their aid and the purpose they'll have in your oil. Use intention.

There you have it, I sleep with it under my pillow. I pair it with Protection oil along with Prophet oil for an extra kick. If you are going to astral project. I suggest wearing extra protections before using this sachet. You do not want to run into any trouble in the Astral realm. Stay safe.

Blessings!

Anyone else have fixed dream locations?

My experiences in the astral are probably dreadfully boring compared to others' -- I have no desire to see the entire universe or hang out with upper-dimensional creatures. The Parallel Liminal is usually enough for me.

What I mean by that is I constantly find myself at a mall, a dollar store, a boba shop, a town similar to the one I grew up in, and even a Halloween store. There's always something off about these spots. For example, the pool is full of water but devoid of people. The dollar store sells intricately glass-blown objects and (non-Halloween) masks, and the lighting is dim in addition to minimal windows. The mall is empty of people except for who I'm shopping with (and this could be someone I know from real life or otherwise) but crawling with "monsters" who usually don't bother us -- and when they do, they want to "play." I could go on, and this isn't even a fraction of locations I visit when I'm asleep.

The thing is, these locations are fixed. They always look the same, with the same people working there where applicable. Even if the grocery store changes some of their stock, the layout, colors, energy etc is the same.

It never weirds me out; it's actually become a comfort over time as I hone in on the energy each place has to offer and wake up feeling at least a little rested, even when I don't sleep all that well.

Anyone else experience this?

Ostara Dreaming

"Use this blend before bed to dream of love - especially the night before the spring equinox.

3 drops Roman chamomile essential oil (Chamaemelum nobile) (preferred) or Cape chamomile essential oil (Eriocephalus punctulatus) for luck, sleep, love

1 drop jasmine absolute (Jasminum officinale) for love, prophetic dreams

5 drops lavender essential oil (Lavandula angustifolia) for love, peace, protection

1 drop Turkish rose absolute (Rose damascena) or rose geranium essential oil (Pelargonium graveolens) for love, dreams

Springtime is when minds drift toward love. Spring flings, first romances, and vow renewals all have their place in the spring dreaming. Mix all oils, and diffuse 1 drop synergy per 100 ml water.

For massage, mix 15 drops synergy per ounce of carrier oil (a good all-purpose oil is sweet almond) plus a drop or two of vitamin E to preserve the mix."

-Blackthorn's Botanical Magic by Amy Blackthorn

Edit: NOTE: Essential oils and absolutes can be expensive, and this book has shown to present a few costly recipes, so take them with a grain of salt. I personally use oil infusions rather than essential oils because of chemical sensitivity, and it tends not to be of high cost comparatively. I take all of these recipes as a suggestion of correspondence rather than something I absolutely must follow. It's better to get creative and use what you have on hand rather than spend a ton of money on some oils you'll only use once or twice.

[starryknight-dragonarts]

Cherry Gender: Female Background: Cherry's species are a distant descendant of the ancient Tannin Luminous and Cerebral branch species, crossed with a different dragon race native to the Eastern Continent. The Ancient Tannin did not have Elemental powers but had adaptations based on the element they were influenced by. Cherry is a former noble whose family holdings were lost during a recent uprising. Unlike most of her fellow nobles she sided with the rebels, in most part due to having a close relationship with one rebel in particular. She’s often credited with keeping members of her cell from fighting and was responsible for some of the more daring tactics during the war. After the revolution she helped restructure the government, and her love feel like he belongs, eventually marrying him. Personality: Cherry is free spirited and doesn’t hesitate to speak her mind. She is very playful and quite mischievous. It’s easy for her to get people to like, but she does have a certain venom and sass to her that she rarely shows, though may let out a glimpse to potential rivals who she perceives as trying to steal her husband. Strengths: Reliable, Loyal, free spirited Weaknesses: Jealous, non-confrontational, very free spirited Powers: Dream breath, Dream weaving Stats Stamina: 6/10 She doesn’t use her powers as much as she should. Thus her stamina has weakened quite a bit. Control: 9/10 She hasn’t quite reached the full potential of a Somna dragon but her ability to manipulate dreams is magnificent. Intelligence: 8/10 She has a good education and good understanding of social situations. However she’s not exactly quick to learn and can be a bit dense at times. Combat Ability: 3/10 Without backup she is terrible in a fight. The only reason she’s not lower I due to her dream breath being very good in combat and she has the good sense to avoid it.

Sweet Slumber Spell Sachet

This is the sleep spell sachet I've made and keep hung on my headboard. I recently had to refresh it, so I thought I'd put down my recipe. Ingredients are interchangeable for whatever intentions you want, and feel free to add more if you want to add different intentions as well!

Originally posted in my Obsidian Grimoire. Text under the cut.

Ingredients:

Mugwort - for deep and restful sleep

Lavender and/or Amethyst - for a peaceful and healing sleep

Rose or Chamomile - for sweet dreams

Blue Lotus or Sodalite - for lucid dreams (I do not recommend both as the potency can make the dreams distressing)

Bay Leaf and/or Obsidian, Onyx, or Jet - protection

Black Salt and Clear Quartz- to charge and set the spell into motion

Sigils - to direct and focus intention

A Sachet or Bottle, and purple string or ribbon

1.) Cleanse your sachet or bottle with your preferred method, I recommend water, smoke, or bells.

2.) Put Black Salt first to start the intention, visualize a soft lavender fog sinking into and filling up your vessel.

3.) Put your chosen protection ingredients in next, then follow with all your chosen ingredients individually.

4.) Put your charged sigils in last, close the vessel, and wrap it with the purple string or ribbon, visualizing the tying off and containment of the energy.

5.) Charge under the moonlight for at least one night. the Full Moon will give the strongest blessings.

If you work with a Sleep or Dream deity, like Hypnos, ask if they can bless the sachet as well for extra love.

6.) Keep the charmed vessel near your bed or under your pillow. Refresh and redo as often as needed, mine will last for almost a year.

Dream Magic 🪄✨🌕

This post is highly inspired by this video and as I was watching it I was feeling like everything was connected. Like very connected. I saw LOA and I saw the void state, and manifesting, and everything in between. It's like everything is just a different way to state the same atp.

Before you go to bed. Make a list of a few things you want to manifest. Write in the present tense, command form; you can say it to God, to your higher self, to your subconscious, or all three. Examples:

Find me a new client

Show me where I meant to live in my dreams

Heal my physical body

Upgrade my consciousness so I wake up refreshing with clear intuition ready to go

The important part is that you feel like it's already done. Like when you order food at a restaurant, you know the food's gonna come out.

[sleepydrea]

So now I’ve started casting spells in my dreams ?? That’s quite an interesting development and not at all expected, however, I’m very interested to see where this goes.

Prophet Oil

This spell oil is created to aid you in prophetic dreams. Any dreams regarding signs/communication from deities, spirit guides and ancestors. It can also aid you in remembering your dreams with the help of Rosemary. Along with aid in astral projection if that's what you wish to do. I however suggest wearing protections before you wear this oil in that case if that is your intention.

You could use this in trance work as well for clear vision. Possibilities are endless!

While this isn't the best-smelling oil, it gets the job done when placed over the crown and third eye.

I have made a spell sachet to place under your pillow as well. This will be in an upcoming post so check out the spells masterpost to stay tuned.

Here are the correspondences

Jasmine -  Dream magic, psychic development

Lavender - Dreamwork, spiritual connections

Rosemary - Dream remembrance

Myrrh - Spiritual connection

Thyme - Clairsenses

Coconut oil carrier fractionated - The moon (dreamwork associations and psychic senses)

You can either do the folk method or the hot method. You can find my post on infused oils here to learn how to make infused spell oils. I suggest if you are an animist or someone who wants more power from your oils. Speak to the herbs kindly, treat them less like an ingredient and ask them respectfully for their aid and the purpose they'll have in your oil. Use intention. The same goes for the Coconut oil.

This oil is best charged on a deity altar that has associations with either prophecy, magic or moon associations. However, this is not needed and you can charge it perfectly yourself.

You can sub any of these, however, substitutions only go so far before it's not even the same recipe and intent. Try to keep herbs within the theme of the moon, dreams, spiritual connection and psychic development for this oil. Coconut oil is a perfect example of an association. Work with what you have however, don't go wasting your money.

Blessings!

My collection!

The silver longsword is 47” (120 cm) for scale. All are sharp and battle-ready (sturdy, not ornamental).

I have other swords, these are just the six that I sleep with. The silver longsword is wedged in my headboard, the machetes go on the right side rail, the other three blades go under the covers to my left.

Their primary purpose is for use in the dream-world: I noticed about four years back that tools placed in my bed will reliably transfer to my dreams. I use them to cut, to cast spells, and as wings to fly :)

Birch Bark

The most-used ingredient in my Book for sleep and dream magic? Birch bark.

It is Bill Cipher's tree, after all (dream demon of Gravity Falls fame). He's been known to grant visions to those who sleep under their branches.

"Sixty degrees that come in threes,

watches from within birch trees..."

If you're looking to gain the Sight in dreams or travel out of the body in sleep, put a bit in a little bag and hang it over your bed.
