How To Perform Magic Ritual

Every beginner to magical arts asks how to perform magic ritual. The answer is simple – correctly . But what does it mean? There are so many different magical systems out there, so many wicked spells and charms to cast, so many rituals to perform, how to perform them correctly?

No Charms, No Spells Please…

First of all, forget about charms and spells you pick up from the web if you have no understanding of magick at all. Well, yeah, they might work but in most cases “casting” them will be useless. There is a reason why occult students learn so many things, read so much and meditate so much. Performing successful magic ritual requires understanding of magick – how it works, to be specific.

Of course, no one can really tell you how magick works – every occult system have its own theories and beliefs. But there are some magical principles and rules to understand, such us:

• Why you need sacred space, and why do you need these wicked clothes and tools.
• Why do you need to intone rites, why do you need to vibrate your voice, why do you need to visualize things.

Often, beginners explore one single magical system, and they try to perform the rites – sometimes the magic rituals works, sometimes they don’t. It is my believe that it’s greatly increasing success rate of any ritual if you understand how all of this works. And knowledge comes from exploration.

Personally I begun to understand things when I was exploring different systems – from Hermetism to Chaos Magic, to Runic Magick. The principles were always the same:

• The space need to be meant only for rituals, so the energies won’t be disturbed. But sometimes you don’t have access to sacred space, so you need to learn how to cleanse the place of unwanted energies. This is where cleansing rites such as Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram or the runic Hammer rite comes to play. Even as simple things as psychic cleansing.
• The tools and clothes are metaphors that can be replaced with visualization only, if you understand their just metaphor for your subconscious. Same thing goes for sigils of different sort.
• No matter what system do you use, as long as you “feel it”, and you can feel the vibrations rising, you’re doing the right thing.

That’s why reading and exploration of the occult is required. Because of the above, ready spells and charms are useless – the same goes for rites and sigils. If you understand that all of this is just a metaphor for your mind, you can create your own spells, your own sigils, your own rites and whole magic rituals.

How To Perform Magic Ritual

So how to actually perform magical rituals? You need few things:

• You need to know how to cleanse the space of unwanted energies. Learning psychic cleansing, techniques for increasing vibrations (some great techniques has been described in the Psychic Vampire Codex), Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram or other cleansing rite is mandatory.
• Learn techniques of creating symbols, because you need to create symbols that will speak to you.
• Learn how to vibrate words of power, and entire rites. And always use such rites and words in case of which you can feel their power.
• Finally – read and learn, and remember than in magick, everything is a metaphor.

Good Ritual

Rituals can be long or short, slow and fast. A good ritual should be opened with opening rite, in order to increase vibrations of the energies. Some cleansing and protective rite should be also cast in order to deal with unwanted energies. Some systems cast cleansing rite first, some prefer opening rite first. In case of runic magick that I practice, the opening and cleansing rites are merged together.

When vibrations are hight, and if you’re mind state is prepared, the core of the ritual should be performed. After completing it, you should perform closing rite. All of these elements are meant for energies that surrounds you, and your own mind, you Will that will shape the universe.

Some Last Tips for Magic Ritual

Here are some last tips for you:

• Always be sure that you Will shall be done. Feel that what you want, will happen.
• Pay attention to the energies around you. Experiment with different words and movement. See which of your actions bring better results when it comes to increasing energies.
• Always perform cleansing/banishing ritual – often, few times during the ritual, and also in the end of it.
