THE ART OF VOODOO

To start with, they said that Filipino Kulam was significantly predisposed by voodoo practices of Africa. One of the common practices Mangkukulam’s used is what they called Doll Magick or otherwise known as the Voodoo dolls.  This article will just tell you how the Filipinos use dolls in order to make magick. Most of you will see that the magick detailed here is more on the dark side. This is because the Filipinos used this magick against oppressors during the Spanish reign.  Anyhow, this is just to share the knowledge I had which I gained several years ago. 

NB: I DON’T ADVICE PEOPLE TO DO THIS BECAUSE OF THE EVIL BENEATH IT! PLUS THE FACT THAT IF YOU DON’T REALLY KNOW HOW TO DO IT, BETTER NOT TRY IT!  IT MIGHT BACKFIRE!  SO MAKE SURE YOU ARE ARMED!

The Doll

The doll used in this type of magick is usually made from cloth. It is colored black. This doll is blessed using an incantation. It is kept in a small box. The box is made from wood and has a string or chain inside it. The chain is used to tie the doll. The tying symbolizes the power of the witch over the person who will be cursed.  

The doll’s intentional purpose also affects the look of the doll and how it is made; another ancient practice still used today.

All-purpose Voodoo dolls bring love, money, good luck, or any other need or desire we may have, into their lives.

Voodoo dolls to dispel things (bad habits, bad luck, etc.). 

First, get a personal item (clothing, hair or nail clipping, etc.) from the individual you wish to affect and pin it to the doll.

The Rite

Voodoo dolls are usually ritually baptized in the name of the person to be hexed. The voodoo doll Baptism ritual can consist of actual real holy water, and a takeoff of the catholic baptism rights. Identification of the doll to the person by ritual conformation is the first step to making the voodoo come to life.

Well of course, in every ritual, you have to bless it & most importantly to baptize it.  It’s dangerous! Just a warning OK?!  

HOW TO BAPTIZE A VOODOO DOLL

I baptize thee Name, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. In life this is now that who I wish it to be. All that is done to this doll happens now toName as I so do command.

As day goes by and time is infinite, I alone now control the deepest desires, dreams and actions of Name. Their life is now mine to control, my purpose alone and power over part of their stolen soul.

May Name no pleasure or profit see, unless it is now governed, shaped and controlled only by me.

When the witch wants to injure somebody, she takes strands of hair from her victim. When she comes home, she immediately goes to her room and takes the box. She then affixes the hair upon the doll and recites a pseudo-Latin incantation. Then she begins to hurt the victim. She can stick pins into the doll. Everything that she does to the doll, the victim will feel. There are others things she can do. She can touch the doll with her wet finger and the doll will fell pain. She can whip it using a Buntot ng Pagi (Tail of a Ray) and the victim will feel a very painful whip. She can place the doll over fire to make the victim fell hot or submerged the doll in water to make the victim drown. After that she will place the doll back to the box.  

Undo the spell

The only way the victim can free himself is to take the doll out of the box and take of the string or chain that ties the doll. Yeah difficult to do it! 

So be careful not to even try this!!!  Good riddance!

SCRYING

PROCEDURE TO MAKE A SCRYING MIRROR:

     First, disassemble the frame.  Clean one side of the glass with a cleaning solution, you may use water & soap, as for me I used alcohol & cotton. Then paint this side with a thick black paint.  Oil based enamel seems to work best.  I prefer the gloss black but matte black will work well also.  Apply several coats of paint until light will not pass through the glass.
 

   At this stage you may paint designs or symbols around the edge of the frame if you are artistically inclined.  If not, there is a variety of frames with designs already on them.  The choice is yours.
 

     Next, assemble the frame with the painted side of the glass to the inside. The thicker the plate of glass, the “deeper” the mirror will appear.
 

     An alternate method of constructing a scrying mirror is to use a clear crystal plate.  Paint the back side as described for the picture frame.  With this method I recommend covering the painted portion with felt or some other heavy material.  This will help protect the paint from being scratched or scuffed off.
 

     You are now ready to begin scrying!!! 

TO START SCRYING:

 For beginners dim lighting is a must.  Incense may be burned and/or meditation music may be played.  

Do what you feel that is right for you.  A side note is that in past centuries incense played a more important role in inducing altered states than in the present time.  The reason for this is that the incense was inhaled.  This decreased the amount of oxygen in the blood stream.  The brain will enter an altered state during periods of oxygen deprivation.  I don't recommend this procedure due to possible health risks.  It is only mentioned as a historical note.

 

The actual procedure for scrying is simple and straightforward:

Get the room ready - dim lighting, incense, music, etc. that you want

Place the scrying medium on a table at a convenient level

A dim light (candle) should be behind the viewer.  To start out this should be the only light in the room.

Perform the progressive muscle relaxation exercise

Look at the mirror (or crystal) in a relaxed manner, focusing about 5"  past the surface of the mirror (this may or may not work for you so try other methods)

You will blink but do not be too concerned about it

Keep your mind blank except if you have a specific question to ask

Do not scry for over 20 minutes at first

     

The images may appear in different manners.  They may just appear or they may be preceded by a "cloud of mist" forming first.  The mist could dissipate or morph into the images.   The images could be symbols of the subconscious or may be actual pictures of events, past, present or future.  As an example of each person being different, the first visual impression that I receive looks like flying insects rotating on the reflective surface of the mirror.

     

These are the basics.  Your success at scrying may take days, weeks or months to accomplish.  You may be successful the first time that you try.  Practice will make perfect, so keep on trying if you do not succeed at first.  If you feel that you are at a dead end, try something different.   It may help.  Keep practicing.   Remember that nothing worthwhile in life is easy.  Happy visions!

  

     

MYSTERY OF MAGIC

Magic is real.  It subsists... It works... It is the most compelling and magnificent force in the universe.  It is the very essence that separates the living from the dead.  It is the divine gift that renders humankind immortal.

             

There is nothing more significant than magic, because it is everywhere.  The waves of the sea, and the sparkle of a star; in the sap of a leaf, and the sweetness of a nut, in the sigh of the wind, and the song of the bird.  Humanity is a living thing, and magic is its beating heart.

To know magic you must be willing to believe that there is more to your life than eating, sleeping, copulating, and dying.  Magic moves underneath the surface of things.  It can give you inner peace and self-confidence, personal charisma, the power to attain your goals in life, and most imperative of all, a true understanding of yourself and your place in the universe.
