Astral Projection

Astral Projection Allows You To Function In Relationship To The:

I. Material World

1. To Travel To Places Within It and Experience Material World Events.

2. To Undertake Special "At A Distance.

3. To Meet and Communicate with other out -of-the-body People.

II. Astral World

1. To See And Investigate the Underlying "Behind The Scenes" Level Of Things.

2. To Affect Change, First At The Astral Level, And Then, As A Result, At The Material Level; Magick

Astral Projection And The Art Of Living

Our Thoughts And Feelings Already Bring About Changes at The Material Level By Their Affects In The Astral; Most Commonly In A Negative and Haphazard Manner: But We Can Work In A Positive Manner and Counteract Negative Tendencies of This Kind, By Functioning Ot-Of-Body.

By Making Astral Projection A Common Experience, You Will Live Life More Fully And Effectively: With This Increased Awareness, You Make Constant Use Of Two Principles:

1. Mind Can Influence The Body To Greater Health

2. Mind Can Control The Body In Special And Unaccustomed Ways.

Astral Projection Brings About Greater Integration Of The Whole Person As You Experience:

1. The Will Working Through The Rational Mind.

2. The Rational Mind Working Through The Astral Body.

3. The Astral Body Working Through The Physcial Body- But Only By Means Of An Astral Or An Emotional Link. Changes At The Astral Level Can Be Effective By The Astral Body With Both The Rational Mind And The Physcial Body.

Corresponding To Certain Points On The Physcial Body Are The "Centers Of Activity" Or Chakras, Which Forms Gates Between The Levels Of Existence. These Centers Are Energy Globes Connected To The Astral Counterpart Of The Spine.

ASTRAL PROJECTION

Astral Projection has received quite a bit of attention in the past few years. This ability and skill has been around for centuries and has been commonly accepted and used within the Craft for countless centuries.

The old wives tale and superstition of Witches Flying on a Broom is actually a reference to a practitioner of the Craft using Astral Projection instead of actually flying. In the past, it was quite common for a Witch to use a Flying Ointment to assist them in achieving this state of altered consciousness and awareness. Most of these preparations used herbs or plants which are quite dangerous to the untrained and can be fatal.

If you find any supposed flying ointment which lists ingredients such as Hemlock, Belladonna, Aconite, or Cowbane posted somewhere on the net I strongly suggest that you do not use them. These plants are extremely toxic and you stand a very good chance of killing yourself. I will list a couple of alternate nontoxic ointments later in this text for those of you who wish to use them.

While working on developing your Astral skills, it is important to choose a place and time where you will not be disturbed. Normally if you are interrupted during a flight, your spirit self will automatically and immediately return to your physical body. It is somewhat of a shock to the system to get snapped back to consciousness in the middle of a journey, so pick a place and time where you can be undisturbed. If you choose to Project while others are in the house, it is a good idea to let them know what you are doing, so if they encounter you in this state, they will not become too concerned. In answer to the many questions I receive on the topic of returning to your body, the answer is quite simple. All you must do is will yourself to return and it happens.

While it it not necessary to use an ointment to achieve an OBE (Out of Body Experience) they can be helpful. Realizing that some of you will now embark on finding these ointments, I will provide a couple of recipes which pose few if any health risks but will still aid in your experiences. The first uses herbs and the second utilizes essential oils.

Nontoxic Flying Ointment 1

* 1 part Dittany of Crete
* 1 part Cinquefoil
* 1 part Mugwort
* 1 part Parsley

Prepare using the formula for making an ointment in the herbal section and anoint the body prior to an Astral Projection session.

Nontoxic Flying Ointment 2

* 2 drops Sandalwood Oil
* 1 drop Jasmine Oil
* 1 drop Benzoin Oil
* 1 drop Mace Oil

Add these essential oils to the ointment base and anoint the body prior to an Astral Projection session.

The Gazing Technique

This is to be done when going to bed. You need something to focus on; if it is in view the moon, the stars, a crystal, a favorite doll will work well... Use whatever you like.

Just not a Candle or anything that burns!

This method involves the body falling asleep, and you should never leave anything that burns unattended. I usually use my crystal ball for this.

Place the object within your view and lie down in your bed. Just stare at the object as you doze off. The first few times may be frustrating. You may just fall asleep and that's it. But after a few tries, this worked for me.

Keep staring at the object. As your eyelids become heavy, keep staring. Eventually your eyes will close, but you will still be able to see the object. You will still be staring at the object. Sit up or stand up, and don't be surprised to see your physical body sleeping peacefully in your bed!

This works fairly well for me. When you are out of your body, do whatever you wish. I am still getting used to the out of body feeling (I achieved my first one only a month ago ), so I have not travelled any farther than the roof of our apartment building yet.

This time is yours. Just tell people that you are attempting this and don't wish to be disturbed.

Happy travelling!

Astral Travel

Definitions:

The Removal Of The Astral Body Or "Soul" From The Physical Body, To Freely Roam About The Earth, The Universe, Or Different Planes Of Existence-Wherever You "Will" Yourself To Go; Then Return Again To This Plane. The Key Word Of This Ancient Art Is "Patience". Most People Won't Project On Their First Try.

Techniques:

1. Its Good To Do This On A New Moon, Never A Full One

2. Wear Comforable Clothing Or Nothing At All-No Metals

3. Say A Protection Chant To The Goddess In Her Hertha Aspect Or Suitable Name. (EARTH-NORTH: The Goddess in Her aspect as Earth Mother is here: Hertha, Habondia, Demeter).

4. Burn A Suitable Incense-Such As Sandalwood. Keep It Away From Anything Combustible.

5. Now Lay Back On The Floor Or Bed ( Wherever You Feel Comfortable)

6. Close Your Eyes. Make Your Mind Blank, And Just Concentrate On Deep Breathing.

7. When You Are Totally Relaxed, Concentrate On Your Toes Until You Feel A Strange Tingling: Strongly, Bring Up Your Feet. .. Then Your Whole Leg. Repeat With Other Foot And Leg. When Both Legs Are Tingling Strongly, Bring Up Your Torso, To Arms, Fingers, Then Your Neck And Head.

8. When Your Whole Body Is Having That Tingling Sensation, The Trick Is To Feel Yourself Floating Away From Your Body. Now Try To Feel Yourself And See Your Room With You Relaxing In The Bed. Look At Yourself- You Can See Right Through You. There Is Nothing You Can't Do. You Can Even Fly. Look Around- There Are Other Travelers. Make Friends; Some Are Discarnate Entities, Some Are Not.

9. After Your Travel, You'll Snap Back Into Your Body. Awaken Very Slowly. Always Wait Until The Next Appropriate Moon To Try This Exercise Again.

Good Luck On Your Travels!

Warnings:

A. Do Not Under Any Circumstances Use Alcohol or Drugs To Heighten The Effect Of Astral Travel.

B. Astral Travel Is Always Handled With Care And Should Not Be Done By Emotionally Unstable Or Unhealthy Persons ( epecially those with heart conditions).
