A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO WITCHCRAFT AND MAGICK SPELLS

e, as buffalo became plentiful. by the end of the nineteenth century, however, there were in reality fewer than 200 buffalo left, where only years earlier it was estimated there had been several million. in the summer of 1994, a white buffalo calf was born in jamesville, wisconsin. as the prophecy had told, the white buffalo has changed its colours since birth, going from white to black to red to yellow and back to white. since each colour represents one of the four directions, the buffalo is seen by many native americans as a symbol of the rebirth of hope. one visionary interpreted the birth of the white buffalo calf as signifying that the human race will be united, in spite of differences in creed and colour, and join together in peace. wophe is therefore an important symbol not only of

trological significances, the magical colour meanings and the elemental correspondences, so that even if you are new to magick you can begin work at once. if you are an experienced practitioner, some of the ideas may suggest new directions for your personal and coven work. the elemental candle colours each of the four elements- air, fire, water and earth- is represented by a single candle colour- yellow, red, blue and green. a coloured candle representing each of the elements can be placed at the four main compass points around the circle to mark the quarters- east, south, west and north. you can place the elemental candles either on the edge of the circle in sturdy floor-standing holders, or on small tables or plinths at the compass points. though each element is represented by a single c

kinds are related to orange, as are independence and asserting your identity if it is under threat or being eroded by the demands or unfair criticism of others. orange also relates to careers involving people and the arts. above all, orange is the colour of joy and also the successful integration of all aspects of the personality into a harmonious whole. orange candles are best used on a sunday. yellow yellow is the colour associated with mercury, the winged messenger of the roman gods. through his skill and dexterity, he came to rule over commerce and medicine and also became patron of tricksters and thieves. yellow candles therefore encourage clear communication and activity of all kinds, improving memory, concentration and learning, and are good for overcoming mental stagnation and blo

and learning, and are good for overcoming mental stagnation and blocks in ideas or assimilation of facts. use them in rituals when you wish to gain another person's confidence and approval or to win someone round in business or intellectual matters; to sharpen logic; for succeeding in examinations and tests; also for good luck, for short journeys or to initiate a house move within the same area. yellow is also a healing colour, especially for conditions needing surgery or concerning the mind. yellow is good for careers in business, medicine, technology, communication or the media and also for job changes. yellow candles are best used on a wednesday. green green is the colour of venus, goddess of love, and so is good for all love and relationship matters, especially partnerships and romanc

peculiarly his own. every unit of the human race is on some one of the seven rays; therefore some one colour predominates, and some one tone sounds forth; infinite are the gradations and many the shades of colour and tone. each ray has its subsidiary rays which it dominates, acting as the synthetic ray. these seven rays are linked with the colours of the spectrum. there are the rays of red, blue, yellow, orange, green and violet. there is the ray that synthesises them all, that of indigo. there are the three major rays red, blue and yellow and the four subsidiary colours which, in the evolving monad, find their correspondence in the spiritual triad and the lower quaternary. the logos of our system is concentrating on the love or blue aspect. this as the synthesis manifests as indigo. this

f our system is concentrating on the love or blue aspect. this as the synthesis manifests as indigo. this matter of the rays and their colours is confusing to the neophyte. i can but indicate some thoughts, and in the accumulation of suggestion light may eventually come. the clue lies in similarity of colour, which entails a resemblance in note and rhythm. when, therefore, a man is on the red and yellow rays, with red as his primary ray, and meets another human being who is on the blue and yellow rays, with a secondary resemblance to the yellow, there may be recognition. but when a man on the yellow and blue rays, with yellow as his primary colour, meets a brother on the yellow and red rays, the recognition is immediate and mutual, for the primary colour is the same. when this fundamental

llow and blue rays, with yellow as his primary colour, meets a brother on the yellow and red rays, the recognition is immediate and mutual, for the primary colour is the same. when this fundamental cause of association or dissociation is better understood, the secondary colours will be made to act as the meeting ground, to the mutual benefit of the parties concerned. of the colours, red, blue and yellow are primary and irreducible. they are the colours of the- 86- a treatise on the seven rays- volume i: esoteric psychology i copyright 1998 lucis trust major rays. a. will or power. red b. love-wisdom. blue c. active intelligence. yellow we have then the subsidiary rays: d. orange. e. green. f. violet. and the synthesising ray, indigo. 4. it is of course to the human interest that a study of

he will love strong contrasts and masses of colour, but will rarely be an artist; he will delight in great orchestral effects and crashing choruses, and if modified by the fourth, sixth or seventh rays, may be a great composer, but not otherwise; and there is a type of this ray which is tone-deaf, and another which is colour-blind to the more delicate colours. such a man will distinguish red and yellow, but will hopelessly confuse blue, green and violet. the literary work of a first ray man will be strong and trenchant, but he will care little for style or finish in his writings. perhaps examples of this type would be luther, carlyle, and walt whitman. it is said that in attempting the cure of disease the best method for the first ray man would be to draw health and strength from the grea

of the two. theosophists speak of five divisions: the health aura, the vital aura, the karmic aura, the aura of character, and the aura of spiritual nature. clairvoyants often claim the ability to see the human aura. from its colors they draw inferences as to the emotional state of character. brilliant red means anger and force; dirty red, passion and sensuality; brown, avarice; rose, affection; yellow, intellectual activity; purple, spirituality; blue, religious devotion; green, deceit and jealousy; a deeper shade of green, sympathy. polish psychic stephan ossowiecki occasionally saw a kind of dark aura that always meant the approach of unexpected death. it is also thought that the colors of the body and clothing in medieval paintings and stained glass are intended to represent the auric

ll the rest of the auras with startling brilliancy. the auric colors, it is declared, cannot be adequately described in terms of the ordinary colors discernible to the physical vision, being very much brighter and of more varied hues and shades. the symbolic meaning of these is roughly of the following order: rose, pure affection; brilliant red, anger and force; dirty red, passion and sensuality; yellow of the purest lemon color, the highest type of intellectual activity; orange, intellect used for selfish ends as well as pride and ambition; brown, avarice. green is a color of varied significance; its root meaning is the placing of one s self in the position of another. in its lower aspects it represents deceit and jealousy; higher up in the emotional gamut, it signifies adaptability, and

the placing of one s self in the position of another. in its lower aspects it represents deceit and jealousy; higher up in the emotional gamut, it signifies adaptability, and at its very highest, when it takes on the color of foliage, it represents sympathy, the very essence of thinking for other people. in some shades, green stands for the lower intellectual and critical faculties, merging into yellow. blue indicates religious feeling and devotion, its various shades being said to correspond to different degrees of devotion, rising from fetishism to the loftiest religious idealism. purple represents psychic faculty, spirituality, regality, spiritual power arising from knowledge, and occult preeminence. apart from occult beliefs in the aura, there is also some scientific basis. the most i

horrible and swaying trees of a dream swamp. and i am still dreaming. in my shame and despair i sometimes scream frantically, begging the dream-creatures around me to waken me ere the inutos steal up the pass behind the peak noton and take the citadel by surprise; but these creatures are daemons, for they laugh at me and tell me i am not dreaming. they mock me whilst i sleep, and whilst the squat yellow foe may be creeping silently upon us. i have failed in my duties and betrayed the marble city of olathoe; i have proven false to alos, my friend and commander. but still these shadows of my dreams deride me. they say there is no land of lomar, save in my nocturnal imaginings; that in these realms where the pole star shines high, and red aldebaran crawls low around the horizon, there has bee

was perhaps thirty-five, but the odd, deep creases in the sides of his neck made him seem older when one did not study his dull, expressionless face. he had a narrow head, bulging, watery-blue eyes that seemed never to wink, a flat nose, a receding forehead and chin, and singularly undeveloped ears. his long thick lip and coarse-pored, greyish cheeks seemed almost beardless except for some sparse yellow hairs that straggled and curled in irregular patches; and in places the surface seemed queerly irregular, as if peeling from some cutaneous disease. his hands were large and heavily veined, and had a very unusual greyish-blue tinge. the fingers were strikingly short in proportion to the rest of the structure, and seemed to have a tendency to curl closely into the huge palm. as he walked tow

the bus were about to keep on in its ascent, leaving the sane earth altogether and merging with the unknown arcana of upper air and cryptical sky. the smell of the sea took on ommous implications, and the silent driver's bent, rigid back and narrow head became more and more hateful. as i looked at him i saw that the back of his head was almost as hairless as his face, having only a few straggling yellow strands upon a grey scabrous surface. then we reached the crest and beheld the outspread valley beyond, where the manuxet joins the sea just north of the long line of cliffs that culminate in kingsport head and veer off toward cape ann. on the far misty horizon i could just make out the dizzy profile of the head, topped by the queer ancient house of which so many legends are told; but for t

m afraid of it- for when it shines on certain scenes familiar and loved it sometimes makes them unfamiliar and hideous. it was in the spectral summer when the moon shone down on the old garden where i wandered; the spectral summer of narcotic flowers and humid seas of foliage that bring wild and many-coloured dreams. and as i walked by the shallow crystal stream i saw unwonted ripples tipped with yellow light, as if those placid waters were drawn on in resistless currents to strange oceans that are not in the world. silent and sparkling, bright and baleful, those moon-cursed waters hurried i knew not whither; whilst from the embowered banks white lotos-blossoms fluttered one by one in the opiate night-wind and dropped despairingly into the stream, swirling away horribly under the arched, c

inister resignation of calm, dead faces. and as i ran along the shore, crushing sleeping flowers with heedless feet and maddened ever by the fear of unknown things and the lure of the dead faces, i saw that the garden had no end under that moon; for where by day the walls were, there stretched now only new vistas of trees and paths, flowers and shrubs, stone idols and pagodas, and bendings of the yellow-litten stream past grassy banks and under grotesque bridges of marble. and the lips of the dead lotos-faces whispered sadly, and bade me follow, nor did i cease my steps till the stream became a river, and joined amidst marshes of swaying reeds and beaches of gleaming sand the shore of a vast and nameless sea. upon that sea the hateful moon shone, and over its unvocal waves weird perfumes b

ust treasure these things; they're potent. 5. charmed sleep spellcasters use an enormous amount of energy, and in order to insure that the energy is restored, charmed sleep is essential. this is attained through a simple ritual. place a desert turtle under your bed. put fresh mint leaves inside your pillow-case and place a rose-tinted crystal glass filled with water next to your bed. three bright yellow daffodils are set up at your window. light three blue candles and let them flame for one hour while you're getting ready to go to bed. then draw a protective white chalk circle around the bed. once between the covers you say "sandoz" eight times. sleep in the nude or it doesn't work. witchcraft hinges on desire, and the reason for this is that most people find it easy to become emotional ab

hite candles are always used for inspiration, increase in knowledge or an inner solution for a particular problem. if you want inspiration to hit, light a white candle. blue candles are protection against evil, and they will put a magnetic field around you if you light one. many who set out on a trip take a blue candle along and light it every night to keep themselves safe during their journey. a yellow candle represents spiritual love. the kind of love, perhaps, between two people with a tremendous age difference and no sexual attraction but a similarity of ideas and exchange of thoughts. it's not the flesh and blood kind of love. an orange-red candle is for sexual activity. this is the colour that traditionally has been used for this purpose. it has to do with sexual seduction and sexual

n amount of dark purple. in the normal man this ray energizes the desires of the flesh, and also seems to enter the blood and keep up the heat of the body; but if a man persistently refuses to yield to his lower nature, this ray can by long and determined effort be deflected upwards to the brain, where all three of its constituents undergo a remarkable modification. the orange is raised into pure yellow, and produces a decided intensification of the powers of the intellect; the dark red becomes crimson and gradually increases the power of unselfish affection; while the dark purple is transmuted into a lovely pale violet, and quickens the spiritual part of man fs nature. the man who achieves this transmutation will find that lower desires no longer trouble him; and it is with that consummat

art in the work of this degree. it is interesting to note the change of colour that comes over the lodge when it is opened in this degree- not that the distinctive hues of the light-globes of the various officers are lost, but that they are all modified by the admixture of a dominant tint which blends itself with them all. that master-colour was crimson in the e.a. degree, while in the f.c. it is yellow. 590. the chakra which we seek to awaken in this degree is a centre within the astral body which gives the power to sympathize with the emotional vibrations of others, so that the man instinctively knows their feelings; and when the corresponding etheric chakra is also stimulated it brings those experiences into the physical body, so that he becomes aware even on this plane of the joys and

s of others, so that the man instinctively knows their feelings; and when the corresponding etheric chakra is also stimulated it brings those experiences into the physical body, so that he becomes aware even on this plane of the joys and sorrows of his fellow-men. forces from the spleen centre, such as have been described in chapter v, are playing through this chakra also, but this time it is the yellow ray which goes to the heart, and after doing its work there passes to the brain and permeates it, directing it principally to the twelve-petalled flower in the midst of the highest force centre at the crown of the head. the connection of this especial centre with the second degree is obvious when we remember its characteristics of companionship and service, its association with t.g.g.o.t.u

ently, a theory must be put to precise experimental tests to verify its validity. as far as we know, the warping of space predicted by einstein s theory is a fact. to remain in the realm of space, let us now investigate the color of the sun. we know today that the color of the light emitted by an object is proportional to its temperature. mathematical theory and experiments tell us that given its yellow-white color, the surface of the sun has a temperature of about 5,300 c. now, no one has ever traveled to the sun to measure its temperature with a thermometer. how, then, do we know the temperature of the sun? one might say, well, let us heat an object to 5,300 c here on earth and let us check its color. if the color of the emitted light is yellow-white, we will have verified that, indeed

s, birds, and so on, and yes, human beings. this is not the place to give a detailed account of mendel s discoveries, however. rather, we focus on just two of mendel s conceptual approaches. first, mendel concentrated on the breeding of pea plants that showed sharp, visible differences (these are called contrasting traits by geneticists. some of his plants were tall, and some were dwarf. some set yellow seeds, and some set green seeds. some set round seeds, and others set wrinkled seeds. today, we would call these plants mutants or variants of one another (for the purpose of this book, these two words are equivalent. for example, wrinkled seeds are the result of a variant in a gene that determines the formation of some compounds necessary to make the seeds look round. the variant gene no l

variants of one another (for the purpose of this book, these two words are equivalent. for example, wrinkled seeds are the result of a variant in a gene that determines the formation of some compounds necessary to make the seeds look round. the variant gene no longer produces this compound, and as a result, the seeds look wrinkled. mendel then mated plants bearing green seeds with plants bearing yellow seeds, as well as tall plants with dwarf plants, and he studied the properties of the progeny plants. this was his first great insight: he used as experimental objects plants that were easy to differentiate by the unaided human eye. he 40 evolution and religious creation myths observed in the offspring of his mating crosses that progeny plants continued to show in very precise proportions t

experiments with tall and dwarf plants should have yielded intermediate-height plants. they did not. from this first observation, mendel concluded that units of heredity are particulate, whole units of inheritance. they did not blend in offspring; they stayed the way they were in the original parents. next, and without entering into details, the precise proportions between two variants (green vs. yellow, etc) that mendel observed in his crosses led him to infer that units of heredity (which we now call genes) in individuals come in pairs. in other words, each individual contains two copies of each gene, one received from the mother, and one received from the father. the following example helps to clarify this concept, using the rhesus (rh) gene, a gene important in blood transfusions in hu

ys faces a c. human dna contains about 3.1 billion such base pairs, the sequence of which is known. it is the sequence of the base pairs in dna that constitutes the blueprint of life, our genes. through a succession of complicated mechanisms, the genetic instructions present in the dna base-pair sequence are converted into proteins, compounds largely responsible for the traits we can see (such as yellow or green color in pea seeds, eye color in humans) and, more often, cannot see (such as the nature of our rh blood group, which takes laboratory procedures to determine. it is thus easy to understand how a change in dna base sequence sometimes results in a changed trait. this change is heritable and is by definition a mutation. base-pair changes in dna occur naturally and spontaneously or ca

goddess have been found upon which the marks of her dignity and position were still intact. according to the ancient philosophers, she personified universal nature, the mother of all productions. the deity was generally represented as a partly nude woman, often pregnant, sometimes loosely covered with a garment either of green or black color, or of four different shades intermingled-black, white, yellow, and red. apuleius describes her as follows "in the first place, then, her most copious and long hairs, being gradually intorted, and promiscuously scattered on her divine neck, were softly defluous. a multiform crown, consisting of various flowers, bound the sublime summit of her head. and in the middle of the crown, just on her forehead, there was a smooth orb resembling a mirror, or rath

re was a smooth orb resembling a mirror, or rather a white refulgent light, which indicated that she was the moon. vipers rising up after the manner of furrows, environed the crown on the right hand and on the left, and cerealian ears of corn were also extended from above. her garment was of many colours, and woven from the finest flax, and was at one time lucid with a white splendour, at another yellow from the flower of crocus, and at another flaming with a rosy redness. but that which most excessively dazzled my sight, was a very black robe, fulgid with a dark splendour, and which, spreading round and passing under her right side, and ascending to her left shoulder, there rose protuberant like the center of a shield, the dependent part of the robe falling in many folds, and having small

ely swelling neck. and shoes woven from the leaves of the victorious palm tree covered her immortal feet" the green color alludes to the vegetation which covers the face of the earth, and therefore represents the robe of nature. the black represents death and corruption as being the way to a new life and generation "except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of god (john iii. 3) white, yellow, and red signify the three principal colors of the alchemical, hermetical, universal medicine after the blackness of its putrefaction is over. the ancients gave the name isis to one of their occult medicines; therefore the description here given relates somewhat to chemistry. her black drape also signifies that the moon, or the lunar humidity--the sophic universal mercury and the operating

outside of hinton ampner, england. from the very first there had been disturbances, the sound of doors slamming, the shuffling of footsteps. ricketts had spent many nights watching for the prowlers that he was convinced had somehow gained entrance into the house. they had lived there for about six months when their nurse swore that she saw a gentleman in a drab-colored suit of clothes go into the yellow room. such things as these the rickettses tolerated for four years, firmly convinced that the noises were the result of wind and prowlers, and that the gray man and a once-sighted figure of a woman were the products of the servant s imagination. for several years, mary ricketts accompanied her husband on his frequent business trips to the west indies, but, in 1769, having now mothered three

e cook reminded her mistress that she had heard the same rustling noise descending the stairs on several occasions and had once seen the tall figure of a woman in dark clothes. ricketts found herself being less dismissive of the servants stories now that she, too, had heard the spectral rustling of an invisible lady. nocturnal noises continued, and, one night, as mary ricketts lay sleeping in the yellow room which the gray man had been seen to enter, she was awakened by the heavy plodding steps of a man walking toward the foot of her bed. she was too frightened to reach for the bell at her bedside. she jumped from her bed and ran from the room into the nursery. the children s nurse was instantly out of her bed, rubbing her sleep-swollen eyes and wondering what on earth had so upset the mis

rvants were summoned and again a fruitless search was made to discover some human agency who might be responsible for the disturbance. it was in november that the knocking and rappings began. a few months later, after the first of the year, mary ricketts and her household noticed that the entire house seemed to be filled with the sound of a hollow murmuring. a maid, who had spent the night in the yellow room, appeared at the breakfast table palefaced and shaken over the dismal groans that she had heard around her bed most of the night. by midsummer the eerie sound of voices in the night had become intolerable. they began t h e g a l e e n c y c l o p e d i a o f t h e u n u s u a l a n d u n e x p l a i n e d 40 ghosts and phantoms before the household went to bed, and with brief intermiss

an angelic name or vibration. here we have a western technique wherein the image or visual representation is another method of communicating to an entity whose word or name we are calling upon verbally and mentally, similar to the yantra/mantra concept in the east. we could color it according to the letter associations just mentioned, that is, make the first part of the line blue (g, gimel; then yellow (b, beth; orange (r, resh; yellowgreen (i, yod; yellow or golden (a, aleph; and emerald green (l, lamed. once again, you should understand that if you decide to use this name, it is not the same entity as the archangel gabriel, only the same name (not everyone named john is the same person) one could then proceed to find the tones connected to the various letters in the name (see th chart i

ways to work with this one design alone. one may choose to paint it in the colors represented by the hebrew letters using the chart in chapter two (see figure 2-b on page 15. we can use violet for the moon (qoph, red for the triangle (shin) and indigo for the square (tau. or one could paint them in the traditional colors of the tattwa elements, silver/white for the moon, red for the triangle, and yellow for the earth. finally, we can embellish it with figures chosen from the corresponding tarot keys, as we did in the first example of raphael. it already has a moon (qoph, so we can add the cross on the banner of the angel in the judgement key and the wreath around the dancer in the world key. it will then look like figure 13-n. we may want to paint it using all the colors of the spectrum, s
