			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you are just starting out, or have been practicing magick for eons, it never hurts to have a few simple spells at the ready to make life just a little bit easier! When I started actively practicing magick in 1994, one of the first techniques I mastered was a simple visualization exercise utilized to facilitate contact with someone. Ok, so that is a fancy way for saying that I was 17 and desperately wanted to hear from the boy I liked&#8230; but the first way I phrased it sounds more dignified. The technique could be considered magick, witchcraft, a spell, or even just as a meditative visualization. Amazingly, it worked from the very first time I tried it, plus worked with lightening speed!</p>
<p>The technique I used was based on a meditation I had read about called the Golden Line of Infinity. I had found it in a book (now out of print) entitled &#8220;The Occult Sciences: How to Get What You Want Through Your Occult Powers&#8221; by Anthony Norvell. I know, the titled totally gives away that I was 17 right? Anyway, the book had some very basic instructions which I used to create a more elaborate scene to direct my focus. I find a more detailed scene helps me to limit the amount of intruding thoughts that can so easily derail a meditation such as this. Here is the method that worked for me.</p>
<p>Start by entering a meditative state, however you normally do so. Breathing slowly, picture a pool of water. I personally see the area around the pool/pond/lake as very dimly lit, perhaps just after dusk but before the night really grabs hold. Or perhaps the way the evening looks under the light of a crescent moon. Hold the image until the water grows very still and the surrounding scenery is utterly quiet. Now picture the person whom you wish to hear from. Take your time to develop the image of this person clearly and solidly. Now picture a fishing line emanating from where you stand/sit and into the water below. See the person&#8217;s name in block letters gliding down the fishing line and into the water. As it touches the water it begins to float on the surface, moving steadily toward the direction you believe the person you are trying to contact is located. Eventually, when it feels right, you&#8217;ll feel that you have reached this person&#8217;s fishing line. See the name travel up the line, and again picture their face. At this point the person is likely to think of you, often even picturing <em>your </em>face, which can result in a call or some other form of contact being initiated (or seemingly so) by them. The first two times I tried this, I received the call I was hoping for in under an hour, despite the fact that I hadn&#8217;t heard from the person (whom I was directing this towards) in the previous 3-4 weeks.</p>
<p>Now that you have a technique to try in order to get that person to contact you, an obvious question needs to be addressed. Is this moral? Is this an attempt to bend or circumvent the will of another person? Not really. You aren&#8217;t forcing the person to contact you. Instead, you are using your innate gifts/powers to telepathically and passively connect, while hoping that this connection serves as a gentle reminder and/or persuasion. This isn&#8217;t much different than standing on the other side of the road waving your hands and saying &#8220;Hey! I&#8217;m over here!&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some circumstances in my life recently, and my attempts to change them, has reminded me of an important fact. It is a fact that many people interested in magick, especially those that are new to the ideas, are resistant to. I deal with it all the time as people question me as to why their spell failed, an amulet didn&#8217;t work, etc. There is almost a universal denial to these facts from time to time. Magick, and probably even the universe, sometimes says no.</p>
<p>I picked the perfect day and time, found the perfect spell, had a wonderful ritual drumming CD playing in the background, centered, focused, took my time&#8230; and nothing. I&#8217;ll admit, even a seasoned witch gets depressed when her spell utterly flops.</p>
<p>So I have contemplated it for days. What did I do wrong? Did I miscalculate something? Then a thought started to emerge.</p>
<p>Maybe I was asking for too much, too fast? A quick fix-it to solve most of my problems may not be the answer. So I talked to my husband this afternoon and shared my thoughts with him. Maybe our future path is not being revealed to us because we are not doing enough for <em>ourselves </em>in the present? Do you think, I asked him, that if we got done the things we know need to be done now, that the long terms issues will work themselves out? Or that we will at least get a sign showing us the next step? Maybe we have not prepared ourselves for the next step, and we won&#8217;t be allowed to see it until we do? Maybe my spell failed because it had to?</p>
<p>All of this was going through my mind this afternoon. Then tonight, I decided to whip out my personal astrological planner. What does it say for this month? &#8220;One Step at a Time.&#8221; It tells me that minor adjustments done well are much more valuable this month than dramatic moves, scale back ideas that are running away with themselves, combine small but possible steps. At the bottom of the 2nd page of this month&#8217;s advisory it says &#8220;Keep in mind this month; Mastering even minor details in your daily life builds a web of competence and confidence to support your long-term goals.&#8221;</p>
<p>And what did hubby have to say about this when he got home? &#8220;This is why you are supposed to read these things <em>first</em>.&#8221; And right he is.</p>
<p>The lesson here? If your spell/prayer/ritual flops, does it mean you did something wrong? Does it mean the universe hates you, that you are no good at casting, or that your dreams are impossible? I guess it is possible, but probably not. Maybe it is just the Universe&#8217;s way of saying, &#8220;Stop and think about this. Maybe there is another way, another idea, or another time that would be better.&#8221; It is your Wake Up and Smell the Coffee! We get signs all the time, and even the most in-tune of us forget to listen sometimes.</p>
<p>So the next time you think your spell/amulet/deity/sanity has failed you, don&#8217;t beat yourself up. Reevaluate. Don&#8217;t just think how to cast differently, pray harder, etc. Think about timing, details, alternate ways of doing or thinking it through. There are probably answers right in front of you that you forgot to hear.</p>
