Overview of green magic

Green magic, also known as natural magic,

Because the spirit and etheric power of our world are open to wizards, it leads to more possibilities. The modes of these layers interact with the matter and energy of the physical layer; However, different kinds of substances interact in different ways. Some materials think that the charging ability of ether is good (it can be understood as "blessing"), some materials have poor charging ability, and even the increased charge will be deleted, and some substances will affect the field of ether more specifically.

These influences were called natural magic in the early days and were the basis of Upanishads and Kabbalah magic. Western traditional natural magic, like many folk magic systems, does not rely on the inner strength of wizards, but on the subtle relationship between material and intangible energy. Natural magic and ritual magic are two different ways to accomplish magic work, although they are not incompatible-in fact, proper use can make them complement each other-they follow different laws and use different ways.

Many Renaissance magic systems contain a lot of natural magic and ritual magic, some of which are very effective. Other uses of natural magic are introduced by the successor groups of the organization or writers who participate in the current magic revival, but the traditional natural magic skills are still quite few.

Using crystals and stones as ether concentrators is a way that has developed to a certain extent. The term "ether concentrator" will not be found in Golden Dawn's article, but its crystal substance and pure metal's ability to absorb and maintain ether charge are familiar to senior Golden Dawn. Ether concentrator is like a battery, which can be charged by ether and used as a power source in the work related to ether. Pure metal can also keep charge well; In magic, each piece of metal corresponds to seven traditional planets, and can effectively keep the charge in harmony with the nature of the planets.

Water is a scavenger of ether. If the charged object is immersed in running water, the ferret charge will be quickly taken away; The purer and colder the water, the stronger the effect. The ancient legend that ghosts and evil spirits can't cross running water stems from this principle.

Holy water (water with salt dissolved) is another application of the same principle. Holy water is usually sprayed with your fingers, and the sprayed water droplets will have a double effect. First, it allows water to pass through any etheric mode that exists in this area; Second, the water droplets in flight evaporate, producing tiny salt crystals, which will absorb the existing ether like any other crystal. This combination makes holy water the most effective tool for purifying space in magic. For the methods of preparation and dedication, see Chapter 5.

Volatile acids have a more subtle effect under similar use. Putting half a basin of vinegar in the room will gradually reduce the inclusion mode of ether in the air. The more acidic the liquid, the better the effect. This is very useful in haunted situations and can also be used to purify places where magic has been used for other purposes before.

Use aromatic plants. Usually used in the form of incense, these substances have a wide range of functions, and they are often used in modern magic-helping to summon the corresponding elements or planetary forces is one of the many ways to use them. There is not enough space in this book to talk about this aspect of natural magic, but there are several examples worth reminding.

Frankincense is an aromatic resin, which is usually associated with the sun and has a powerful purification and reconciliation function. Any ceremony can be performed without special fragrance. Dittany in Crete, a close relative of oregano, is related to Venus, and it is a standard incense used to make the spiritual body physically appear. It has a strong materialization effect, and under appropriate circumstances, it can make non-material entities present an etheric form with sufficient density, which can be seen by ordinary vision. On the other hand, it is easier to use a divining mirror or similar apparatus as a summoning image, so there is no need for white moss. )

Ferula is a plant with a strange smell, which is related to Saturn. It may be the most effective method of expelling western magic. When used as incense, it can strip off any etheric charge touched by smoke, and when other methods fail, it can drive away the soul; In summoning ceremony, expelling ceremony or any similar high-risk ceremony, it is very wise to have a sealed container containing Ferula. (However, when it is burned, it will smell fishy. Moreover, all utensils must be re-consecrated after use, so it is best to use it only in an emergency. )

The following incense corresponding to the planet can be used in the ceremony of this system: it can be used in the form of standing incense or cone incense, or it can be burned directly on instantaneous carbon. The list of incense is not exhaustive, and there are many differences between them in different systems. The corresponding information of plants is also worthy of reference.
