The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Find a quiet place, free of disturbances - people - phones - pets - fans - air conditioners that might disturb the flame.



You may use soft background music.



Some people enjoy using incense.



Make clothing comfortable - remove eyeglasses or contacts.



Make the room dark, the only light being the flame of a candle used. I prefer spiral candles or large thick candles that last for hours.



Sit in a relatively comfortable chair with the candle approximately an arm's length distance in front of you - perhaps at a kitchen table.



You could also place the candle on a coffee table then sit on the floor - as many people are comfortable in the lotus position.



This can be a method of self-hypnosis. In this case send your a message that you are to return to consciousness after your messages / messages have been given.



You can state your intention before you begin focusing on the flame of the candle - such as - "I want to see myself in a past life that links to this one."



Now gaze at the flame. Look at the flame. Breath deeply and evenly, in through the nose and slowly out through your mouth.



As you look at the flame, you can see that it is actually made of the colors of the rainbow. Subtle shades of red glow at the very tip of the flame. Your passion, your physical body are being left behind, as a faint reminder of who you are.



The orange that follows spans a short time on the flame. Your anchor on this earth, also reminds you that there is a life on this plane.



Then, the yellow, the most prevalent, the most powerful part of the flame draws your attention. It burns as your creativity, yearning to burst free and shower you with its inspirations.



Your eyes follow down and see the tiny segment of green, your center, your growth. This is where the bountiful harvest of your life lies.



Feel the growth and abundance everywhere in the universe before you fall into the blue at the base of the flame. The blue, the higher emotion of your secret self burns brightly if only you look at it.



Below it, barely perceptible, is the violet of your spirit. This is the same spirit that resides within you, but it is barely perceptible day to day. You must catch it unawares to know it. As you watch your flame/spirit, Let the violet flame enlarge and envelop the blue, green, yellow, orange and red of the fire. Let your spirit enlarge to fill you in the same way.



As you inhale, feel your spirit fill you with the light of the candle.



Breathe the flame. Become one with it and the essence of the source of creation.



Close your eyes.



Breathe your spirit. Find your LIGHT.



Visualize your descent down a long and beautiful spiral staircase and when you reach the bottom of the staircase you will see three doors. [Remember that consciousness spirals into reality. Three=manifestation in the physical].



Choose a door.



Wait patiently for your subconscious mind to open it.



When you go through the door, relax your mind. Patiently watch your inner screen - in front of your forehead (third eye chakra) for images.



You may see colors or shapes, people or places. You may hears tones.



Often images will drift into your awareness which may not make sense to you at first. These are your archetypes for awakening / remembering your mission - who you are - why you are here.



If nothing appears to you when you first do this exercise, you will benefit from experiencing the meditative state and your mind will become conditioned for self-hypnosis and past life regression.



After receiving your messages - you may enter the other doors or return upstairs.



These messages should be recorded when you are finished - as they will make sense later on.



You may want to draw what you see or create a short story about it.

Again set the ambiance for peace - quiet - relaxation.



This exercise involves two people.



Use a tall candle - one that is drip less - or a wide candle on a saucer-like holder.



An audio / video tape recorder can be used to record messages given.



Sit across from the other person. The lotus position is often best as you need to be face to face. If this position is too difficult - sit on two chairs facing each other.



One person is to hold the candle to the side and front of their face - you will easily determine the distance once you begin.



You must try to not blink to often and remain as still as you can.



There is a tendency - when the other person tells you what they see - to respond emotionally or physically - talk or laugh.



The person not holding the candle will now relax - wait - and soon see your facial features change.



When they change - that person my have a message for you about who they are seeing and anything related to that person - thoughts that enter their minds.



Ex. I look at you and see you turn into a man who I describe. As you transform to another of your soul aspects - I many think of a name - such as John. I may think of other things about him. I may see someone standing next to you in the room.



After a while - you will see the person change again and again depending on how long the person can sit still without much flinching.



It is now your turn to hold the candle and allow the other person to view you.



This is very easy - as everyone changes.



You can also do this yourself by standing in front of a mirror - in a dark room - the candle on the side of your face - then watch yourself shift. You are returning to the source of creation - the light and seeing other aspects of your soul experience.



Talk to that person in your mind - as they have come to you now - through the spiral of time for a reason. tell them to clear their issues - that you seek soul union and something is blocking you here.



With any of these exercises - you feel discomfort - please stop. Something is resisting physically and emotionally. You can always try again at a later date.



There is no time frame for this. You know when you are complete for that session.

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.



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!



When you are out of your body, do whatever you wish.



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



Happy travelling!

The development of greater magical ability requires the development of a stronger association with the self. If your own self-awareness and self-development are not on track, your magical practice will not be on track either. It’s important to spend a bit of time better connecting with yourself each day. Before starting your day, take the time to do a short meditation. Light a candle (tealights work well) and settle yourself comfortably. Take “inventory” of your internal self. Focus on the colors at your main chakra points; they should be clear and glowing. If not, take time to clear and re-energize that chakra area. Next, take time to reaffirm your grounding and shielding. Strong grounding and good, elastic shielding help keep you balanced. Lastly, focus on your positive intentions for the day. Focus magical energy toward areas you feel could be troublesome. Focus energy on a day accomplished in right relation with the universe and its inhabitants. Focus on learning somethin g new today, just for you. Take a moment to wind down, extinguish the candle, and go into the day focused, balanced, and in harmony with yourself.

Meditational skills and knowledge will be useful to those of you who are just beginning your journey along this path. The ability to center and ground yourself easily is crucial to being effective in your Magickal workings as well as in achieving balance and harmony with Nature and Universal energy. These exercises will also help in developing your ability clearly visualize and focus which will also be of great importance to your future success within the Craft.





A Centering Meditation



Sit any way that you feel comfy, so long as your spine is straight.



Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Take very long and very deep breaths through your nose.



Each time you breathe in, hold it for 2 or 3 seconds and then slowly exhale. Continue this breathing until you feel very calm and peaceful. This usually takes 3-5 minutes



Take as long as you need. It is different for everyone. Just go at your own pace.



You can also use sound to center yourself. Just sit quietly and ring a small bell or chimes. Focus on the soft sound and breathe deeply. Keep making the noise until you feel centered.
