Favorable
day for such “magickal operations” would be Monday, days when the Moon is full, in hours of Moon,
Mercury , Jupiter and Saturn.
Hoodoo
offers many formulas, serving as boost to readers and gifted , or to any occult worker/practitioner in general,
which are often combined with formulas
for money and love, or other if need be. More so when desire is to stress
specific aspect of the guidance, for example dreaming lucky, hence, attaining
information about future and how to live more lucky, get more
money or win games of chance or bets. I wrote about the famous formulas Aunt Sally's ( Lucky Dream/s ) and how they help one “dream lucky” as Hoodoo
people often say.
Other
popular Hoodoo “brands” to use in such work include “Psychic vision”, “Power”
and “Master key”, some of which will be
discussed here today . It’s wise to note here that Psychic vison is a brand,
considered to be among the youngest formulas of Hoodoo, which may technically
speaking be true, but various formulas to produce the same effect existed much
before the suppliers saw the opportunity
in commercializing those into a formula brand.
In New Orleans , there is even a curious trend
of making “Green fairy” or “absinthe” into form of Conjure oil, that
bears the same name, and shares nearly alchemical, elaborate
procedure of making and baptism of the Absinthe spirit procedure. Such oil is
believed to be extremely powerful and fast acting in boosting psychic powers,
clear vision and thinking, when made properly [1] The simpler version, though more than likely
far less effective can be made by simply blending
Mugwort, Anise, Peppermint*, with addition of some Hyssop and Fennel in
each of the bottles made .
Fragrant
herbs, root and spices often used in Blessing work, and Healing work are often
herbs used in psychic development in
Hoodoo, as well, hence why these
formulas often have a lot of
common ingredients , or dual functions.
They
can be used in forms of oils, to dress candles and oneself, periodically, baths
to wash head prior to divination work , or periodically, for example when the moon waxes, to “raise”
power, or in form of Conjure hands
composed to give mastery over spiritual
gifts. Dream pillows and/or bags and sachets to place under pillow are also
very frequent. Incenses are burned during readings, or divination tools may be smudged with them, for example Tarot decks , also practitioners/readers, burn incenses such as Sandalwood, or mixture of Camphor with Mint or Frankincense ( or both ) to raise spiritual vibrations , and increase their visionary talents, during the readings and divination work.
Candles are also quite often burnt, white, purple and pale blue mostly, and Psalms , such as 23rd and 42nd are read, though a heartfelt , sincere prayer to G’d for guidance would certainly be a great choice as well. Sometimes, it’s favorable such work to be preceded with Cleansing or Road opening, or simply Power work.
Various
symbols can be incorporated , in talismanic or amulet from to help in Hoodoo
psychic related work. It’s wise to note here that despite
originating from classical grimoires, such symbols in Hoodoo were not used the
same way they were/are in grimoire friendly traditions, such as High
magick. Their power and proficiency
would not be diminished, rather it would be used in another fashion.
Now
without further ado ( this is a practical magick blog lol ) let’s go through
few nifty Hoodoo tricks used in psychic work
Head
wash for psychic work
Head
washing is as we may know, part of Voodoo culture, and could be the precursor
of Hoodoo head washing tradition. Christians have similar practice, they incorporate in ba p tism ritual. In essence
the goal in both cases is to cleanse, bless and initiate. Similar function they have in Hoodoo, more so
when used in psychic work. Prior to divination, spiritual work or each day of
the waxing Moon cycle , for seven days try using following formula to increase
Your psychic talents: · Bay Laurel leafs
· Anise seeds
· Five finger’s grass
· Celery seeds
· Mugwort
· Hyssop
· Laundry bluing or blue food coloring ( optional , If adding try to use Laundry bluing rather than the latter )
It
will help cleanse and soothe Your mind ( hence the Hyssop and Laundry bluing )
, while also enabling psychic empowerment, and assisting in attaining clear vision.
Psychic
vision condition oil
·
Star
Anise seeds · Althaea roots
· Bay Laurel leaves
· Some nutmeg grinds
· Lemongrass essential oil
· Anise essential oil – just a few drops
· OPTIONAL: Jasmine essential oil
You
can use Flax seed oil as base , and hence additionally empower the formula,
though be sure to add a capsule of vitamin E or some liquid benzoin, to prolong
it’s shelf life. If You prefer so, both
Star Anise an d bay Laurel may be used in form of oil ( essential
) rather than the seeds or leaves.
This
is one of the formulas, You may
encounter others containing also Tobacco, Ylang Ylang, Mallow leaves,
Mugwort, Sandalwood , Frankincense and Camphor,
Flax seeds, Celery seeds,
Dandelion root and others .
In
case of baths Florida water can be added
[2] or laundry bluing, which was already suggested in above headwash formula.
Prophetic
dream ritual
This
is desirable to be done on Monday or some night when the Moon is full. Try to
refrain , for three days prior from carnal pleasures, smoking, alcohol, and If
You can fast. If You decide to fast, on the last , that is third day ( which is when You will be performing the
ritual itself ) have only water.
On
the third night take a bath with Hyssop and sea salt, over which You have read
the 51st ( in some places 50th
, “Cleanse me with Hyssop…” ) psalm , ideally with sincere remorse for the all
Your sins. It would be of great utility
to read the Psalm 13 times as You bathe, and to wash Your head 13 times.
Let
Yourself air dry, dress in white clothes, preferably new ( they can be the cheapest
clothes, as long as they have not been worn, they are washed, clean and tidy,
even a white bathrobe will do ) , then wrap a new white towel around Your head. You may sprinkle it (
the towel ) with a dash of Florida
water.
On
the altar place two white candles, and a censer
with Frankincense, so the will form a triangle. In the center ,
place the Seal of the Power Angels,
which is found in the Sixth book of Moses, and on the back of it You may write
Your name. Place a purple candle over it, inscribe it with Divine name “YAH”
and then dress it with “Psychic vision oil” anointing it, and rubbing from the
top down, or from the ends to the middle
of the candl e. Prepare a glass of pure
water that will later serve as “night water” ( used in Hoodoo practice called “sleeping
with water” ) and then light the white candles and the incense. For a few moments meditate on what You wish
revealed to You in dreams. Ask
kindly , aloud, G’d to send You
the answer to about the question( state Your question, If You have a specific one )
Then
light the purple candle and read the Psalm 23rd seven times;
“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.” [3]
Fill a small red bag with Mugwort, and maybe Anise seeds as well ( You can add Celery
seeds to make that a “lucky three” ) and
place bellow Your pillow.
Place
the Night water near Your bed ( night table for example ) and go to sleep. Record
Your dreams If You need to.
For the
sake of comparison, and personal preference, as an alternative to the above given ritual
composed by myself, look up the classic ritual from ”Grimoire Verrum” famed to induce the same effect, of
which I wrote before .
Hope
this information was useful, and interesting for You, I also wrote on ESP
before, from a more …”general” perspective,
yet nowhere it says a Hoodooist could/should not us e the methods described there . Aquamarine is among the stones used to strengthen various gifts, precognition , among them so You
can look that up too
