Devotional Magic as Daily Practice

Image
Devotional Magic as Daily Practice My devotional magic is just as vital as my ritual work. I’ve been practicing for a decade now, but my spirit experiences began much earlier around the age of seventeen. Mediumship runs in my family: my aunt often saw spirits, and she was the only one who could get my grandmother to open her eyes in her final days of hospice care. When I was eighteen, a shadow figure entered my apartment. In fear, I prayed to every saint and angel I knew until it finally left. Afterward, I lined my windowsills with salt. From that day forward, blessings and protection prayers became a regular part of my practice. In college, an ex introduced me to ceremonial magic. I loved the structure of timing rituals with planetary hours and angels. It gave me the same sense of sacred rhythm that church once had, but with empowerment at the center rather than obedience. Now, years later, my focus has shifted. I’ve grown into devotional practice. Part of this comes with age, part wi...

Guided Meditation: Pond of Protection

Image
  (This image is generated through the use of AI)  Guided Meditation: Pond of Protection On Tuesday, the Day of Mars, begin by preparing and clearing your ritual space. Using your finger, trace a clockwise circle around your working area. As you do, visualize a cord of red light forming a protective boundary—strong, radiant, and sealed. Starting in the east, visualize the air swirling around you and point while saying: "Come, element of air, attend and empower this circle.” Continue moving clockwise to the south, picturing crackling fire surrounding you as you declare: “Come, element of fire, attend and empower this circle.” As you turn to the west, imagine water flowing around you and say: “Come, element of water, and empower this circle.” Finally, when you face north, envision the wild energy of the earth and proclaim: “Come, element of earth, and empower this circle.” Complete the process by bringing your finger back to the east. Take a deep breath and state: By Earth, the ...

Reclaiming Wholeness: My Journey with the Holy Guardian Angel

Image
(This image is generated through the use of AI)  Reclaiming Wholeness: My Journey with the Holy Guardian Angel Over the past few months, I’ve been deepening my relationship with my Holy Guardian Angel (HGA), a journey that has unfolded in ways I couldn’t have anticipated. This sacred connection has brought profound healing, spiritual clarity, and a greater understanding of who I truly am beneath the layers of identity, expectation, and performance. As part of this path, I’ve immersed myself in spiritual study and practice. I recently completed Discovering Your Personal Daimon by Cat Rose Neligan and Your Guardian Angel and You by Denny Sargent  two deeply insightful books that offered language and structure to what I had already begun feeling. Daily, I light candles to honor my HGA and the planetary ruler of the day. I meditate several times throughout the day, often in silence, often in conversation with the unseen. This commitment has opened doors within me and realigned my...

Ritual of Union with the Holy Guardian Angel

Image
(Painting by Delaney Marie Designs) Ritual of Union with the Holy Guardian Angel Stand in a quiet, sacred space. Slowly trace a circle clockwise three times with your finger, envisioning a golden, protective light forming around you—soft yet strong, encircling you and the room in radiant safety. Face East, arms open wide. Feel the breath of life stir around you fresh, vital, awakening. Point outward and say: “Come, Element of Air, attend and empower this circle.” Turn South, and as you do, envision flames dancing bold, alive, illuminating your spirit. Say: “Come, Element of Fire, attend and empower this circle.” Turn West, and imagine water swirling around your feet cool, flowing, sacred. Speak: “ Come, Element of Water, attend and empower this circle.” Face North, grounding into the energy of soil, stone, and root. See the earth rising to meet you. Say: “ Come, Element of Earth, attend and empower this circle.” Place a tealight candle in a bowl of water before you. If desired, dress t...

Baneful Workings for Justice: The Mirror Box of Consequence with Hekate, the Furies, and the Gorgons

Image
(This image is generate through AI) For many years, I was hesitant to delve into justice and baneful workings. It was a mental hurdle I had to overcome. Part of it stemmed from my people-pleasing tendencies, and I never wanted to be perceived as 'mean' or 'bad.' This was definitely due to societal conditioning growing up as a cis woman; you're taught to be nice no matter what, even if you're uncomfortable. Finally, after starting therapy and my healing journey, I began reclaiming parts of myself through every boundary I set, whether it was at work, with friends, and eventually with my mother, with whom I have been no contact for two years now. You cannot control others, but you can control the access they have to you. I have never been more at peace in my entire life. This work, coupled with getting to know Saturn through ritual workings, has helped me immensely. Your heart, mind, and solar plexus are the powerhouses of your emotions and creativity. Your mental ...

From Conditional Love to Divine Worth: A Journey Through Venusian Healing and Self-Forgiveness

Image
( This image is generated through AI powered by Canva) Months ago, I wrote about the Divine Feminine and my experience with the Seven Spheres work and the initiation of the Planetary Gates. I discussed how the Gate of Venus was one of the most emotionally difficult rituals I had ever done. It brought to the surface the realization that my relationship at the time was built on a foundation of betrayal—and my efforts to prove I was worthy of love. After a year of deep therapy and sound healing sessions with Nicole Gadbois, I discovered a vital truth: I have always been worthy. I was conditioned by my upbringing to believe I had to prove myself in order to be loved and accepted. This belief stemmed from being raised by an abusive alcoholic caregiver and influenced who I chose to date as an adult. Now, approaching my thirties, I recently found poetry I wrote as a teenager. It’s surreal to think that ten years ago, I graduated high school early and moved out on my own to escape my home...

Spiritual Sovereignty: A Foundation in Existentialism

Image
( This image is generate through AI powered by Canva) I n my personal life, I've been discussing my views on witchcraft and spiritual beliefs with certain friends and family more often. They have been asking me more questions, which I greatly appreciate. I find that when people ask thoughtful questions and seek to understand, it's an intimate act of love and care. I've often kept my spiritual beliefs close to my chest. This stems partly from my upbringing—growing up Catholic there was an aspect of fear of judgment which is common among church elders. After I left the Catholic Church I briefly explored New Age Christian churches, attended a Universalist church, and now am fully embracing my eclectic views of paganism. I could never fully grasp the idea of an absolute truth and was never interested in discovering the so-called Truth of the Universe, which religion and the church often seemed to propose. This is why I tend to stay away from groups like Golden Dawn and the Ordo...
