You’ve been there before:
You buy that crystal
for it’s magical properties but then you decide that one is never
enough to do the job so you buy that special amulet, however soon you
find out that perhaps it’s a different shape that’d make the difference
in attaining the result you want – before you know it, you’ve a
collection of assorted “what not’s” to start your own ebay online store
if so chose to sell them at one point.
The same goes for all
those do-it-your-self spell kits, candles, and my favourite, those
annual astrology compatibility books that you’ve kept for years…”why?”
They say if you don’t use it, you’ll loose it” Well, because it’s not a
human ability to go back into time, lose the outdated books that
reference yesteryear not to mention the spiritual and new age items you
purchased that you have no intention of using again or have ever used
in some cases.
The tools you use for spiritual enhancement and
magick is like the ingredients of medicine. Some medicines loose their
effectiveness, some should only be used for a designated timeframe, and
some medicines need to be reinforced sometimes to be stronger but for
crying out loud they should be used else thrown away. After all the
tools that you purchase unless displayed as ornaments are to be used
less that contain no power at all.
It’s not hard to keep up with
your tools, and know what to do with them…but very some very simple
guidelines below to assist with the clutter on your altar:
1. Your
tools should be charged properly with the correct corresponding
activating spell, incantation etc. Don’t just purchase that “Money
Tree” amulet and that that you’ll be able afford to go to P Diddy’s
party’s on a regular basis.
2. If your amulet has served
it’s purpose and has proven to work for you keep it and disregard all
the other crap that you have that’s not working… the amulet, charm etc.
that you use will continue to be charged with working for only you.
3. Be
mindful that those tools you purchased in that New Age store or online
can carry negative energy, so make sure you are aware of what you have
hanging around your home and you in fact are acting spiritually
counterproductive to what it is that you want.
4. A note on love:……it’s going to take some work…a little more than a Rose Quartz!
5. Books:
Do your homework and look on the internet first – it’s free! Don’t get
stuck purchasing something that just going to collect dust. The best
books on spiritualism, the occult and new age are timeless compact with
priceless information not found on the internet!
6. Study
the significance behind what you want to purchase. Many spells,
incantations, and amulets have words, and symbols that you don’t know
what they hell they say. Make sure you lean the meaning and feel the
meaning less it’ just becomes a novelty.
7. Lastly, however
foremost, change your mindset and focus on the energy and power you
have over purchase anything as your inner power IS stronger than any
item you can buy.
You don’t have to through everything away that
you have as I’m sure if not magical some items may be sentimental to
you…like your first tarot set or your first pendulum etc. Go ahead and
keep those but get rid of all the other garbage that 1) you don’t use
and 2) Haven’t done crap for you!
Keeping all that doesn’t matter
just becomes the stereotypical “mumbo jumbo” it just doesn’t work. Once
you’ve cleared you altar, cupboard or room up unwanted or unused items,
you’ve only your dedication, and knowledge on the matter at hand to
deal with attaining your spiritual goals which is a job in it self…but
at least you’re closer than you were before than to have tools that
don’t contribute to your cause.
