Study group Exercise for Oct/ Nov 2018.
Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2018 11:43 am
Sorry for being so late this month. Things have been a little busy at home and definitely here in the Forum. In good ways! 
Since I am so late, I think I will give the rest of October and then November to finish this exercise. What I would like to do during this time, is create some talismans which you can use in your practice. Yes, magick is a PRACTICE which means it should be worked on consistently and you should have your own personal schedule of meditations and ritual work. So, a Talisman is a created or man-made object that can draw things to you, or otherwise change the energy around you. It is a magickal object. This lesson I would like to focus on your personal power; what your particular strengths and powers are, and where they come from. For instance, I have Were-creature energy, vampiric energy, and I have an Immortal back in the family tree to claim and honor, namely Zeus. This is easier if you have done a Dark Demonic Energy reading or one of the CH "Anything in your Blood" readings, but you can also just trust your feelings. What are you most interested in? What powers would you like to tap into or have some skill in? Is it divination? Maybe you are attracted to spirits and ghosts (which is one form of Necromancy). Come up with some symbols or create a small statue, place a rune or runes on a stone. Give it some type of physical form. Take time to feed it your thoughts, tell it what you want it to do. Spend time with your Talisman every day for a while, meditating on the energy. Try not to micro-manage. Allow it to draw to you the energies that are best suited to your personality and desires, but also call in things that may be unexpected, or unknown. When you feel everything is just right, then do a simple ceremony, during which you state what ancestral or personal power you want the talisman to represent. "Creature of Magick! I name you a Talisman of my ancestral power of Were-Bear energy! Help to uncover the skills and talents that come to me through my bloodline and are mine by right! Draw to me the magick and power related to the Were-creatures, and help me to master these skills." This would be an example of a personal Talisman for me, since I have Were-Bear Ancestry. You can make more than one, but it is best to work with not more than three, until you get the hang of it. Once you have finished the ritual of creation, then the magick is released to start drawing energy to you. You can continue to work with the Talisman, or wear it if it is jewelry. Start looking for opportunities to learn and grow in the direction of the powers you wanted. They will come! It will get stronger and stronger, the more you use it. Remember to be grateful for your gifts and the things you are learning about them. They are uniquely YOU.
