Another entry for 2021Ā Craftober art challenge, you can find this and other fantasy inspired jewelry in my shop : here :3
For this week I chose the words āForgotten Templeā⦠and then went on in my head imagining lost civilizations and an ancient cult of the Sun, whose clerics wore crystal amulets⦠because, well⦠I probably miss playing dnd too much.
The visual inspiration for this piece came from Kingdoms of Amalur and, speaking of mysterious populations, from the art of the Erathi ruins in particular.
Though I have a problem with many of the narrative choices of this videogame, the artists who designed creatures and environment created something breathtaking, and, for this particular aspect, KOA will always have a place in my heart.
luigi baby you are enjoying this way too much

This is a spell to create a ring that drains and absorbs high amounts of specific energy, holds it, and releases it at the casterās will. It can be used on people, (which is primarily how I have used it) and there for may be classified as ādark magic.ā However, you can use the ring however you feel comfortable/ however it fits your morals.
What you will need: -specific intent and programming for how you wish the ring to work. - a ring, preferably one with a gemstone or precious metal ornament (silver, copper, etc.) - a bowl - moon water - a clear quartz piece, preferably spherical, but a point will do. - five white candles (any size is fine) - a chain or string -lavender oil
The goal of the spell is to create a concentrated spiral/vortex of energy, and then lock this vortex to the ring. Place the quartz sphere in the bowl, and pour moon water in around it. Align the candles at equal distances from eachother around the bowl. Note: the reason a Quartz sphere is preferred over a point is because the energy of spherical gems moves in a circular motion around them. This will make it much easier to create the vortex. Before starting the spell, cleanse the ring thoroughly by whatever means you prefer. Next, tie one end of your chain to the ring (like a pendulum.) Dangle the ring over the Quartz sphere at the center of the bowl. Now, as you program the ring with intent, you are going to swing it in a clockwise circle. Because this is a very powerful tool, you need to be EXTREMELY specific with instructions for how the ring will function. Here I will give you some basic instructional ideas to make sure the ring works as safely as possible; - state a specific finger the ring must be on and hand motion that must be made in order to open the vortex and absorb energy. For instance: āto drain energy from the target, twirl it clockwise on the pointer finger.ā Note: While using the ring, make it clear what energy you wish to absorb, such as happiness, motivation, sadness, etc. - state a specific action or key phrase to release energy from the ring, in order to avoid āleaking.ā It would also be smart to make a phrase that can be adapted to state a target to aim the released energy into. - make it clear that the vortex may only open when you intend it too, or else it could end up draining your energy and leaving you very weak.
Because the instructions are so specific, it would be best to write them out before starting. Recite your instructions while spinning the ring, and once youāre done, annoint the ring with lavender oil and seal the vortex to the ring through visualization. Once the bond is sealed, leave the ring to charge overnight with some amethyst, moonstone, and/or clear Quartz.
Tips: - remember that any energy you absorb into the ring will stay inside until you release it. I suggest clearing and cleansing it at least once a day, preferably after each use. - remember that just as you can take energy from someone or something, you can take that energy and place it somewhere/in something else. Example: take sadness and anger out of someone you DO like and put it into someone you DONāT like. - understand that if you take energy from/put energy into someone, you are affecting them in a very real way, and you could possibly affect their mental and/or physical health (in a positive or negative way) - using this ring is a very good way to practice visualizing and sensing/feeling energy.
As always, much love and good luck š message me if you have any questions!
Elemental magic sometimes requires us to marry two elements into one to get our desired results, which can be a bit baffling at times. This short guide is to help with some suggestions of elemental combinations you can use to combine the power of two, sometimes opposite, elemental energies into harmony. There are likely many other combinations, these are just some of my personal suggestions - but other combos exist!
Water and Fire: steam, vapor
Water and Earth: clay, mud, roots, wood
Water and Air: bubbles, fog, clouds, storms
Water and Light: rainbows/colors, mist, reflections
Water and Shadow: ink, paint
Water and Sound: water drops, rain, rain sticks, waves
Water and Frost: ice, snow
Water and Moon: moon water, dew droplets
Water and Sun: foliage/flowers, fruit
The Evermore Grimoire: Witches
Technopagan is a modern term for those who wield the power of technopathy. It's also a term that was coined by the older generation of witches who refused to acknowledge any of their own kind out of fear that they would become too powerful and uncontrollable. However over time the term "Technopagan" has slowly changed from being a stigma to one of empowerment and freedom against outdated stereotypes that no longer fit into today's society. Even those who don't wield this unique power may identify as a Technopagan as it could align with their own beliefs surrounding gender and sexuality. This also includes a desire to create safe spaces for young witches and warlocks as well modernise witchcraft as a whole in order to reflect the world of today. One things for sure, they're here to stay because they're the future of the magical community that must be nurtured in order to survive any future battles.

Welcome to my separate expanded post on Energy Healing. I decided to separate it from my post on Reiki (that I am actively rewriting) for those who are hesitant to get into Reiki (aka lack the funds because it can be quite expensive or not just cannot find a non-appropriative teacher) or would rather learn a different method. This post is for you.
I want to be transparent, as this post is mostly UPG (Unverified Personal Gnosis) and SPG (Shared Personal Gnosis). I don't actually know where I learned to energy heal, as I intuitively knew before I practiced Reiki.
If you can manipulate energy, you can heal with energy. Energy healing is a form of energy manipulation to heal things similarly to Reiki. Arguably, just as well. Reiki is just a specific practice and guided style of doing so. Energy healing has been seen throughout history in many different cultures and traditions.
First, you have to be adept at Energy Manipulation. It is like building muscle. It can sometimes take a lot of hard work and training to get to the point where you can heal with energy. It takes focus, visualization, physical energy, mental energy, and practice. You might not get it on the first try, but that's okay. Some may also get it on their first try. Try not to beat yourself up about it. We're all different.
I deeply suggest learning how to borrow energy from sources first before you engage in energy manipulation of this type. It can drain you severely both mentally and physically if you are not careful. Especially if you are a healer who takes on or feels others' pain during sessions. I recommend this for Reiki practitioners as well.
When you go to do this healing process, it's not a true healing as it will not remove ailments, but it eases its side effects and pain.
None of this is a replacement method for healthcare practices and psychological practices. If you are feeling unwell, it may be an underlying condition that could prove to be serious. Please take a look with your physician for treatment when needed.
Sometimes, depending on the practitioner, this process may sting or feel like you are buzzing with energy. From many practitioners I've talked to, the experience is different. Warn the person before you start. It could sting, feel cold/warm or like you are a small battery. Warn them to expect the unexpected. That it will feel better in the end.
First, I like to ground and centre. It helps me get into the right headspace. To ground, I use the tree method of visualizing roots coming down from my core (mine is my heart space) and deep into the earth's soil. I then soak up the earth's energy through those roots to borrow (I always return it after the session and give some of mine as a thank you.) I drag the energy up through the roots, towards my core and let it centre my being. After I feel ground and centred, I visualize that energy seeping down my arms and into my hands.
Next, I assess the pained area of myself. Are my calves really tight? Neck? Shoulders? I'll hover or touch the pained area to see how they feel.
Start an assessment and hover your hands over different parts of your body. See what connects and feels icky. Some pained areas can lead to others within your body.
With your energy, latch onto that negative energy. With my method to make it not uncomfortable, I visualize light coming from my hands and cleansing the area. Like you would energetically cleanse a space. Visualize that light penetrating that negative area and slowly filling, replacing the space and "burning" (sounds scary, but it's not) away that negativity. Those I practice on tell me this feels cold, warm or tingles.
Continue this process until the areas feel clear of the negativity and are replaced with this shield-like glow on the area for temporary pain relief. Think of a temporary bubble ward.
After a final sweep, you are done if you cannot find anything. Get yourself and them a snack with some water. Remember to rest after. That is vital. You may feel drained, or you could even feel energized. Everyone is different.
Ground and Centre, like above. Gets you in the correct headspace.
Access the person I'm healing. Hover your hands over the area of the body where the pain resides. Let your energy touch their body, not your hands. However if that is harder for you, you can touch them with their consent and comfort.
Start an assessment and follow the limbs, torso, neck, and such. In your mind, set your sights on or intend to find areas of pain that will register within you as either dark energy, colour you view as negative, or even temperature. It helps to see where the pain is if you have a visualized goal. When you find a dark, sticky, magnetizing, cold/hot area, anything that feels "wrong," pause there. See if it stretches from that location to other parts of the body. Our bodies are like spider webs. Everything connects. Sometimes, a painful spot will lead to another.
Continue with point 4 above in healing yourself. I see others using these methods, too, by grabbing the energy and dragging it out of the body. I do not use this method personally, as it feels less natural.
Continue this process until the areas feel clear of the negativity and are replaced with this shield-like glow on the area for temporary pain relief. Think of a temporary bubble ward.
If you cannot find anything after a final sweep, you are done. Get yourself and them a snack with some water. Remember to rest after. That is vital. You and they may feel drained. They could even feel energized. Everyone is different.
Here's where we get a bit interesting. If you do not connect directly with the earth's energy or it does not vibe with your energy style, try different energy sources. After you do a basic grounding exercise, you can use celestial energy to be present by visualizing a beam of light coming down from the heavens, through the top of your head, and into your centre.
You can also use different elements, depending on your healing method and what you are trying to heal. I find water soothing and healing for emotional deregulation or aches and pains. Try washing your hands with blessed water or spring water before you partake in healing and channel that energy into your hands. Visualize that energy forming around your hands, like a waterbender from Avatar, the Last Airbender, to perform healing.
You can also wear crystals with the corresponding element. You can draw on that energy when needed.
Who says you can't use a wand if you struggle with channelling energy into your hands? Especially if you're a practicing witch. I find selenite wands beautiful for healing and apple wood-based wands.
If you struggle with visualization, simply directing your thoughts and narrating what is happening like a story while using your other senses, like feeling, can significantly improve your energy practice. Any practice, that is.
Books by Barbara Ann Brennan are great resources, and I built off my practice with them regarding energy healing. They are less problematic than most books with chakras in them, but remember they have some elements in there regarding more western washed versions of such. I started with Hands of Light by Barbara Ann Brennan. However, these books are not cheap, so trying to find them second-hand may be your best bet.
Another excellent book is Eastern Body Western Mind by Anodea Judith. It covers the Eastern-based practice of energy and puts it into a Western-based framework for understanding without watering down any significance. It also covers the energy channels, how they move with the body, and much more. If you enjoy seeing spirituality from a psychological perspective, this book is for you.
