Drawing Down the Moon
This technique is designed to draw upon Luna energy, or astral
energy, with
which to empower a spell or work Magick. It can also be used
for psychic
development and meditation. In Strega practice, Drawing down
the Moon is not
the same thing as invoking the goddess.When we invoke the
Goddess upon the
High Priestess, we refer to it as "Calling down the Goddess".
The first act
is connecting with the Moon, while the second act is connecting
with the
Goddess. The Moon and the Goddess are not the same thing,
though admittedly
they are difficult to separate.
Technique I: Drawing Down the Moon
Sit quietly and visualize the Full Moon above you. Mentally
bring the Moon
down to each of your body centers, visualizing each one glowing
with the
Moons light. Concentrate on each center for at least a min-ute
before moving
on to the next.
Technique II: Drawing and Raising Power
Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and imagine a white sphere of
light about
5 inches above your head. Imagine it flowing down through your
head, neck,
shoulders, chest, arms, and so on. Let this energy flow through
every inch
of you. Let it completely saturate the inside and cover the
outside. Imagine
your entire being is glowing. At this point you are in touch
with power, and
you may proceed with healing or other works of Magick.
Technique III: Grounding Exercise
There are times when it is necessary to drain off excess energy
from ritual
or Magickal work, and to regain a sense of balance. Sit
directly upon the
bare earth with you legs folded in front of you, and the palm
of your hands
pressed down upon the ground. Imagine your arms to be hollow (
like two
hoses) and mentally pour the excess/unwanted energy out into
the soil.Slow,
deep breathing is helpful in
this technique. Once you feel the energy is drained, then
quickly get up and
leave the area. It is best not to return there for a few hours.
The earth
will neutralize the energy, and the area will be as it was
before you
employed it.
Technique IV: Raising an energy Sphere
This is a basic exercise for raising personal power. It will be
the
foundation for works of healing, charging, and Magick. To raise
a sphere of
power place your hands in front of you, about 6 inches apart
(palms facing
each other), and begin to move them slowly back and fourth in
front of you
(like playing the accordion). Experience the sensations of
warmth, pressure,
and magnetism. Once a sphere of power has been established, you
can pass a
mental sigil into it. Or project a thought form, thereby giving
the sphere
its purpose. Then mentally visualize the sphere entering the
object that you
wish to charge. To increase this energy, use your concentration
and
imagination. You can visualize a glowing force of power. Do not
allow your
hands to touch while performing this exercise. Once you have
accomplished
this method,then begin putting your hand around various objects
and feeling
their energy fields. Soon you will discover many other uses for
this basic
ability.
