Occult Rituals and Sacrifices
Spirits are not merely an option or tool to be utilized when the magician deems it necessary. Spirits are the very heart and soul of all magick. The incantations we use work because the spirits heard them and act. We are not alone when we cast our spells; our patrons and familiars are always present, casting the spells with us.
Throughout history, ritual offerings have been a central pillar of all magick and religion. Very often, a magickal ritual consists of nothing more than the making of a prescribed offering to a particular spirit in a specified time and place. Yet in the West, the making of an offering has been equated with the worship of the spirit receiving it. The act of offering a spirit something as payment for services rendered has a close association with the dreaded pact with the Devil, by which a magician surely sells his soul to damnation. However, to the rest of the world, an offering is intended to feed and empower a spiritual entity, and to pay it fairly for its aid.
The art of making proper offerings to the spirits is a complex one, rife with ceremonial magick tools, strict protocols and warnings; but if you take the time to learn this ancient and powerful art, it will supercharge your magick like nothing you’ve experienced before.
