Magick and Ritual

Crafting Sacred Practice

 Effect in the external world can be created through inner practice. Magick and Ritual can support your Divine Path now in the physical world and you are encouraged to enhance your power with regular practice. The results that you experience will encourage you to continue with the practice as you grow in power, grace, love, ability and wisdom, and apply your inner beauty to transform your outer world.

For us to grow empowered and potent on the Path of Ancient Feminine Power we need to honor our knowing and being and cultivate sacred practice. Sacred practice becomes the habit of growing our spiritual power and consciousness. Like a garden needing regular care and watering to blossom and flourish, our inner garden of the Soul, where our creativity, joy, spiritual gifts and bliss bubble away, also needs regular attention. Coming to our practice takes strength and inner will – even though it can feel amazing, we still have to wake up, set aside time and discipline ourselves to show up for our own inner growth. We will reap the benefits when we do, but we must allow ourselves to fall in love with our practice, to craft something that really speaks to us, so that we want to do it. The desire and the discipline together help us engage with our practice regularly and we can grow so fast it can be quite shocking!

When an Initiate shows particular promise, higher guidance will often encourage that they develop a regular practice to hone their spiritual and creative abilities and more fully manifest their Divine Potential. They will grow faster and stronger spiritually and be able to step into spiritual healing and leadership to greater effect. You are one such Soul, dear Initiate, and you are being guided to prepare for this growth and authority now with your sacred practice.

This Oracle is guidance that you do have great power and wisdom within you, but you need to provide channels for it to flow and be active and empowered in your physical life. Sacred Practice is such a channel. Without these channels, the ego is left to create on its own which is not much fun at all! The ego believes in fear and separation and no matter how much it may want to feel love, bliss, connection, joy and fulfillment, it really cannot do it without your spiritual presence in life. Ritual and Magick, as a form of sacred practice, are recommended for you as a way to bring more spiritual presence into your waking life, to heal and support the ego as you learn to create a life that feels better and brings you and others more fulfillment.

Sacred Practice with Magick and Ritual may involve any of the guided exercises in this Oracle. Choose what feel good for you and experiment with what might be a regular pattern of practice for you. You are worth the effort! Remember, whatever effort you do put in will be repaid to you in wonderful benefits many, many times over. Once you experience these effects, and it might only take a day or a week or two for the effects to show itself, you will be more committed to continue. The effects are cumulative – as you continue to practice, the positive effects continue to grow.

If you have recently started sacred practice, this Oracle is confirmation that it is working well for you and you should not give up if you are not seeing the results you had hoped for – they are coming to you fast!

This Oracle is also confirmation that is you are considering making an adjustment in your Sacred Practice, it might be time to do so, provided that you don’t dismiss the gains you have already made with your current practice and you remember that sometimes small changes can have big effect.

Ritual and Magick practiced with clear intent to be of service to the highest good and to manifest through unconditional love accelerates your power and growth, particularly when it is based on what your heart truly desires. It might be about connecting more with your body, about stilling your mind or expressing your voice or creativity.

An example of a practice is outlined not, but it is simply an example. As long as your practice includes invocation or prayer to Divine forces of unconditional love, provides a structure through which Divine Energy can flow and it feels natural and right for you – then it will work for you. Please note that if you have pulled the Pillar of Light card together with this one then including that Ritual as the heart of your practice is recommended at this time.

Sacred Practice with the Lady Isis

If possible, have some music playing softly in the background and a candle handy, ready to light. Rest quietly in a space where you will not be disturbed and close your eyes.

Say aloud, “I call upon Isis who loves me unconditionally and my own Divine Self now, in love, light, peace and power – may blessings, protection, healing and awakening abound. I dedicate my practice to Divine Love. So be it!”

Sit quietly as you listen to your music and light your candle. Say, “With this candle alight, I open my practice in sacred space.” You may like to sing or chant the incantation below, or any favorite prayer or poem from this Oracle for example, in devotion to the Goddess Isis as a way to move into your practice.

I AM, I AM, I AM

I AM the light Divine, I AM the love sublime

I AM the peace beyond space and time

I AM, I AM, I AM

When you are ready, close your eyes and become aware of your heart and your body, from the base of your spine down to your toes, and up towards the crown of your head, until you are peacefully aware of what the inside of your body feels like with gentle awareness.

Follow the breath and keep your awareness in your body.

When you are ready, imagine a soft ball of pure light within your heart expanding with your breath until it fills your hole body and your energy field extending around your body. Now, imagine sealing that light in a bubble of violet light and golden light in two layers, wide and strong around your energy field.

When you have done this, gently open your eyes, and place your hands in prayer position with your forefingers touching your forehead, your head bowed slightly and say, “For Divine Light, Love and Protection I give thanks now, I AM, I AM, I AM.”

When you are ready, just extinguish your candle and you are done!

You can say this Incantation, an excerpt from the Ritual above, as a part of your practice each morning or independently if you do not have time for a full practice.

I AM, I AM, I AM

I AM the light Divine, I AM the love sublime

I AM the peace beyond pace and time

I AM, I AM, I AM
