Highs and Lows of Magick

@euge--rome

High Magick

High magick, also known as ceremonial magick, is the type of magick done by learning a precise and typically complicated ritual or ceremony. Its origins (in the West) see it almost entirely rooted in judeo-christian myth until the late 19th century, and today many ceremonial witches continue to work using a high magick within that specific context. During the late 1800's and early 1900's the resurgence was known as The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, or the Golden Dawn for short. “The Golden Dawn was a magical system that blended elements of Christian and Jewish mysticism with elements of freemasonry and tarot, seeking to unify all of the religions into one single framework”. And although today this system is considered dead by many, the influence that the Golden Dawn had on Wicca and Thelema is strong, so it's legacy lives on through them. It is meant to have a spiritual purpose rather than a practical one, however these can absolutely overlap conceptually. These ceremonies and rituals involve improving the soul, which includes gaining divine purification, spiritual knowledge, having regular encounters with destiny/embracing one's own destiny, and attracting the proper magical influences for your soul to learn and grow in healthy way.

Low Magick

Low magick, also known as Folk magick, is a practical kind of magick having to do with healing, attracting luck or love, driving away evil, fertility, good harvest, etc. It is called folk magick because it is said to be the magick of “common folk”, and records of these practices are sparse due to the illiteracy of the practitioners. This is the kind of magick more well-known however because this is the kind of magick that is recognized and used more often today between the two. Contrary to High magick, low magick is called low magick because of its practical nature and association with the lower class. Rituals were simple and evolved over time and they included everyday items that the modern which is more than familiar with such as plants and wood and so on. Another name for low magick is natural magick, as it is linked closely to the natural world in the ways that I mentioned(it having to do with plants and wood and such). Natural magick has much to do with astrology and herbalism, however it's still in compasses more modern methods such as divination. Low magick has its roots in spiritual practices such as shamanism, which is regarded to be one of the world's oldest religions as well as one of the newest, as evidence of its practice has been discovered in Paleolithic cave art however it has evolved in such a way that many see it as being new rather than old because of the recently created Neo Shamanism variations. One of the earliest examples of shamanism, or at least that is what this cave art is believed to depict by experts, dates back to around 17,000 years ago. Shamanism is part of the Ainu religion and Japanese religion of Shinto, although Shinto is different in the way that it is Shamanism specifically made for an Agricultural Society. but enough of the history lesson, I'm getting a bit sidetracked here!

Conclusion

In all, the major historical difference between high magick and low magick is the classes it enveloped, however the difference today is that high magick is more ceremonial while low magick is more “casual” and down to Earth by comparison.

https://www.jsouthernstudio.com/blogs/esotericinsights/low-magick-vs-high-magick https://www.learnreligions.com/types-of-magic-95961 (info on shamanism, shintoism, and paleolitic art I learned in my AP Art class a few years ago)

TLDR: High magick is ceremonial, prepared carefully with instruments, emotions, and conjuring. It is rumored that the gods prefer high magick due to its formality.

Low magick is close to the opposite end is done using ordinary objects like a spoon or plants or a stick. Low magick is known for its simplicity and takes power from the earth instead of words or self power.

Black Madonna Ritual Relic Rosary // Those that know me, know I love old religious iconography. I use saints & religious artifacts in my spellwork, & have no issues or qualms doing so. This beautiful rosary was deconstructed & reconstructed with a Mal’va Star centerpiece & then a beautiful Black Madonna of Czestochowa Relic Medal at the base. This medal is very special as it contains a scrap of cloth behind it that was carried & has been touched to the shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa & thusly blessed. Obtain at #TheWitchery.Ca via https://www.thewitchery.ca/product/black-madonna-relic-rosary/ In Slavic folklore the Mal’va symbolizes love for one’s land, for one’s parents and for one’s home. This star flower reminds us of our spiritual roots, & of one’s ancestors. The Mallow or eight-pointed star is formed by superimposing a straight cross (symbol of masculinity & the Sun) & an oblique cross (symbol of femininity & the Moon). The joining of these two entities naturally gives life. The full mallow is also known as the Mother’s Star. This is the symbol that is often seen in icons of the Virgin Mary. Her image (Our Lady of Częstochowa) juxtaposes several ideals of womanhood: a powerful, heavenly queen, a suffering mother, a perfect nurturer…(the) scars a sign of suffering she shares with her worshippers. ~ Trochimczyk Black Madonna of Częstochowa will hear the calls of those with depression, one who is searching to fill the void, women with fertility & menstruation issues, & people that need her guidance. She is a healer & the light at the end of a dark tunnel although she appears blackened & burned by fire she is filled with answers. Can be used to connect to Black Madonna through ritual & mediation work. . . . #blackmadonna #madonna #czestochowa #ourladyofczestochowa #ourladyofczęstochowa #witch #healing #witchcraft #relic #slavic #witchery #spells #witchesofig #witchylife #altar #witchythings #amulets #talismans #devotional #icons #icon #saints #moontime #rosary #rosaries #witchesrosary https://www.instagram.com/p/Coh5GCFpMEO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Summoning Familiars

Before we begin, a disclaimer, familiars must be granted by spirits or deities. You cannot summon a familiar all on your own. The information I am providing is how to get into contact/start using a familiar, not create one. The only exceptions to this are if you join a coven or the likes and gain access to a group familiar, or if you inherit one from an active line of familial (by blood) witches. Your pet is typically NOT a familiar, unless the pet has been spiritually sent to you after you asked (ex. you ask a spirit and they say yes and suddenly the same stray cat comes by repeatedly and takes interest in your witchcraft work). Also when I say “takes interest” I mean sleeps on your altar, likes to be on or near you while you work, likes to watch your work, is overly vocal when you begin to work, or even picks up a bottle or ingredient and adds or takes it from your spell.

(image by https://twitter.com/SqueakyArt)

Typically Familiars will show themselves to you in one way or another, whether it be in dreams, visions coming from heavy meditations, or even in real life. But sometimes (say, if you have a cat and so you see cats and cat related things very often) it’s hard to tell if an animal is your familiar or if it’s something else like a sign from a deity or spirit guide or just coincidence. Therefore, a good way to know is by summoning your familiar in one way or another, and here I will give you a couple ways to do this.

Getting Spiritual Aid

You can also get help from spirits and deities to summon your familiar. DISCLAIMER 2; if you ask for a familiar, the spirit can say no and will not hesitate to do so if they don’t think you’re ready or it’s time or what have you. A familiar is a privilege to be granted by the spirit, not the other way around.

Mantras

Mantras are a very helpful way to find a familiar, and it’s fairly straight forward too.

“Manifestum spiritus animalis”; this is a quite literal and direct way to call upon a familiar, as it is Latin for “Manifest animal spirit”. If repeated in a state of meditation involving the focus of your magickal energies, imagine the words and ideas behind the words forming a figure before you, and let it shape what it needs to. As much as you can help it, try your best not to be biased or else it may not work and you may not see the correct animal. From here you have a choice. you can manifest it into an astral body then stop it there, or you can manifest it into an astral body, then go further and manifest it into a physical body. The best way to do this is by repeating the mantra for ~10 minutes daily on an empty stomach. I would recommend doing it in the morning to achieve this. Don’t forget, you must have emotional engagement in the manifestation to get it to work.

You can also bind an animal of your choice as your familiar, given it has provided some kind of interest in your magick(consent/willingness) and the process has been approved/given by a spirit. This is done by this mantra: “You, will become my familiar, you are a strong, brave and smart (Type of animal, Cat, dog, bird ) Your name will be, (Name, not it's actual name. Make a stage name, for the magical world, don't call it by it's magical name when humans can overhear.) Once called, (Animal's Real name) now (Animal's Magical name) in Magic(k) world. I summon you as my familiar."

Visualization Spells

There is a bit of a technique to it, but there is a spell you can do that involves pouring your magickal energy into a process of manifestation. This is a ritual so it does involve ritualistic items like a ritual knife or other ceremonial item like a besom. The ritual goes like this:

Light a candle in a dark and quiet room

Use a magical wand or a dagger to draw an inverted pentagram in the air above the candle

Next, use the same ritual item to draw the shape of the animal spirit you wish to summon

Now, close your eyes and point the ritual item at the candle flame. Visualize the familiar manifesting in reality the candle flame as you pour your energy through the wand/dagger into the flame.
