Priest-hood or Priestess-hood:

This will allow you to start a group or coven if you wish. It also allows you to create your own rituals, ceremonies and spells.

You will be one with the astral world, a speaker for them. This is the highest honor. Keep in mind, you must have been practicing for at least 6 months and know the course inside and out before you attempt to become a priest/priestess.

Cast a couple of spells and raise some energy to make sure you can properly do this before you try to become a priest/priestess. Make sure you are REALLY ready before you do this.

If you are not ready when you do this, the astral world will not look kindly on you. Do a divination first and see what it tells you.

The Ceremony:

Perform Step One & Step Two- in your mental temple. Contact the deity of your choice. When the deity comes, tell them you wish to be initiated into priest/priestess hood.

Wait for the deity's response, he/she may not let you. If the deity says yes, ask for energy. You will be amazed.

Perform Step Three- in your mental temple.
This has to be done in your mental temple. Do not force the deity's words using your mind, it will only anger them. Let them speak for themselves! Once you pass this test, I congratulate you! Welcome to the craft!

Using The Steps:

You know the basic steps: one, two, three and four. If you use these steps, you can create any ritual, ceremony or spell.

You can now even change the steps if you choose- you can create your own "Step One, Meditation" if you choose.

STEP ONE
How would you do this? How do you meditate? You relax, quiet your mind, and somehow contact the astral world. Create a rite that does, for example; breathing deep is one way of relaxing and quieting your mind and visualization is a great way of contacting the astral world.

STEP TWO
Circle casting is all energy; you can create a ceremony that makes your energy form a circle of some sort. Using the Color Magick found in Candle Magick colors and the tools, what you say and feel at different points is all that is important.

Just remember to address the spirits, Deities, elementals and even astral powers, in some way. Example; (this was created from one of my covens students)- She would perform STEP ONE and then visualize white light coming from the skies into her third eye.

She would then have this light form a circle around her and she would say, " Spirits, Deities, elementals, and astral powers, I call you to my circle." She got incredible results from this.

STEP THREE
As with Circle Casting and Raising and Projecting Energy, you too may form your own Releasing Rite, as you did for circle casting.

STEP FOUR
Raising and projecting energy is done many ways; visualization, chanting, clapping your hands, drum beats, etc. You can experiment with this to find other ways you can raise and project energy; you know the basics.

Creating Rituals:

You know the steps and you may change them to suit your needs. Rituals are similar- you may change these also to suit your needs. Just remember to always use the steps, one, two, three and four.

Whether you change them or not, this is your foundation.

To create a ritual, you must first know what you are creating it for. After you have gathered this, the next step is to write on paper what you want to say. Find out by using the Candle Magick colors, what color candles you should use.

Put some of your tools into it, you know which tools you should use and what their purposes are. Rituals and ceremonies are basically the same thing. You can use the above to create ceremonies.

Creating Spells:

Again, the steps are your foundation. Creating spells is very easy once you know the basics. All you have to do is put the colors together, along with any doll, charm bag, etc., and write your spell.

Example; I am doing a spell for love...
I will need;
1. any number of red candles
2. red rose petals
3. a red apple
4. calling incense
5. a red pin

The words I want to say are, " Love, love come to me. Love, love find me. Bring me on this night, love, love come to me."

I would then perform STEP ONE & STEP TWO. Light the candles and chant my chant, sprinkling the rose petals over the apple.

Keep chanting my chant through STEP FOUR. When I feel like the energy is at its peak, I would put the pin inside the apple.

I would finish by performing STEP THREE.

Incense, Powders & Oils:

To make any of these, for any purpose you wish, simply stick to a few guidelines. Use anything in the calling section to make any certain type of white magick.

This is the same for banishing or black magick. It's in the intent when you charge it; that's what gives it its direction. You may make any type you choose- i.e. love calling, money, luck, etc.

Just make sure you charge it to that purpose and use it only with that kind of spell, ritual or ceremony.

If at any time you get stuck, contact your spirit guide or Deities for help.

They will bring the answers that you seek
