Witchcraft, Wicca, Folk Magick and related are more or less the same- I’ll explain below in detail what they’re all about.
Witchcraft by magickal definition is about hosting/holding ritual through utilization of several tools that represent the intent of the operator and related; don’t think of course about Western ceremonial magickal implements, e.g. Fire Staff, Cup, Triangle of the Art etc.- think more simplistic, e.g. handkerchiefs, alcohol, consumables, beverages & similar. Hair or fingernails obtained serve to represent the spiritual bond with the target in question. Consequently, the operator generates spiritual energy though a mental/emotional trigger, for instance anger (if the purpose of the work is destruction), or loving feelings (if the purpose is love). Using the aforementioned items, that energy (when at peak levels) is then aimed or directed towards the target(s) in question or, if there is no specific target involved or the objective is of a neutral nature (e.g. getting a well-paying job), in the Ether. For the rest it’s rinse & repeat until results are obtained.
Folk Magick and related are the same in essence; there are variants- such as instead of using self-generated energy, a spirit or entity (generally a miscellaneous one, or elemental).
You might not be aware of this, but the Moon and its Realtime movements play a pivotal role in occult operations; generally speaking, you can do something on a particular day & time thinking that this is enough and don’t get Me wrong: it is..in general.
When you have enough experience in doing the aforementioned, e.g. hosting ritual or carrying out a magickal operation on let’s say a Monday, in the day + hour of the Moon you’ll notice that there are still minor differences and that some days, for a seemingly unexplained reason, are literallymore– or lesspotent than others- especially when what you’re doing requires the utmost levels of precision or accuracy. Well, guess what the reason for THAT is (in general)…
So how to utilize that to one’s benefit? How do I, (Master) Morino, work with the Moon in a Realtime manner? Well, the Moon has to be exalted (obviously)- so the zodiac sign it’s in & its aspects and so on. See below video.
In this article I’ll be discussing the above, based on my own knowledge & experience; I’m stating in advance that some things I mention are my educated opinion and therefore NOT set in stone. Just be aware of that. But obviously the merit of my Word speaks for itself.
Let’s start off with the basic concept of the magic circle & triangle of the Art all too familiar to most people (even non-mages) as depicted below.
You might wonder “Where did this all come from based on intent etc.” What if I told you that this system is meant to constrict malevolent entities at its core. Because that’s exactly what it is. Just think about it- why would you need to go to such measures for a spirit summoning if He, She or It isn’t the friendliest, to put it that way (But constricting someone like this will piss them off either way, of course). This applies to the material plain as well obviously, for us as people; why do you have to talk to a convict through a glass barrier or similar constraints, rather than talk to them like a normal person- well, because they’re prone to hostility, that’s why. That’s the logic behind the above at a base- & primordial level. Needless to say, you wouldn’t or don’t need any of this to interact to a non-hostile, “normal” spirit or entity; your own strength & conviction protects you by default, and you’re “only” calling upon as much energy as you can mentally, so it can be dismissed by your own wit all the same (at least in general).
– The origin of Grimoires –
I’ll be giving, in relation to this topic, a few well-known grimoires as an example; most of these (at least in the Western World) are attributed to the great King Solomon, but (with all due respect to Him) He isn’t the one literally or directly responsible for them in the format that we know them, they are more named after Him as a means of paying homage since He (at the very least most likely) was the founder & architect of Magick, the way it is (generally) practiced in the Western tradition & globally (to a lesser extent, at least).
The Goetia and its 72 spirits for example, based on my extensive observation, is like the “baseball card collection” Magickally speaking; spirits, entities etc. were traded, acquired, collected and whatnot along with the exaggeration of their powers & skills, attributes etc. for anything from bragging rights to “making a sale”- and it goes on. This is excluding the premise of misinformation being implemented in it as a means to prevent those deemed “unworthy” to achieve success, or to throw them off. In this case, the aim was that “those that deserve it and have proven themselves worthy will see the truth of things”. As I already discussed in my evaluation of it (see below), the Goetia has (mainly) Infernal spirits (Fallen angels etc.) & Pagan Gods that were demonized, especially applicable to the outline of the Goetia; pretty much all of them, regardless of nature, are in essence coerced to take on hideous forms, even if that’s not what they’re like in actuality. And it just kept getting updated, until what we have in the present day.
The Greater Key of Solomon- The Order of the Pentacles is another example; to my understanding as a whole, these Pentacles serve as astral magnets in alignment with entities that are associated with them, towards one or more purposes & was created a long time ago (at least more than a few centuries ago)- not a lot to be said about it, other than what I’ve already stated- it does exactly as mentioned in the last edition that is used in present day. Potentially, one or more Pentacles were lost in translation and in the midst of the time-based overhaul from era to era, since it hasn’t eluded Me that not all the planets in it have the default 7 pentacles, some might be “missing”…
Some magickal workbooks that occultists are familiar with in Western society & to a lesser extent the rest of the world, primarily the Goetia, contain entities that can allegedly teach one how to communicate with animals. I’ve already covered the Goetia, see below- so I will in this article focus purely on the notion of talking to animals, and NOT whether the claims in these types of books are valid etc. Read/watch below content for that.
So, is it possible to do so? Can one really talk to animals? Well, yes & no; you don’t need to specifically work with a spirit to do so, a good level of clairvoyance is already enough. Animals overall, compared to humans, have a lesser level of consciousness. People are under the delusion (regardless of the reason) that “animal lingo” is as refined as a human language, & that it is equally complex and intricate or related. No. It can (metaphorically) be seen as a basic form of communication, like the level of proficiency a child has regarding speech etc.
In order to do so (talk to animals), you simply need to activate your levels of clairaudience (so astral hearing) & that’s it.
