Have you ever had an unanticipated positive experience? For instance:
- You were offered a job you really wanted but didn’t expect to get?
- You had a sudden financial windfall?
- Something you’d thought lost forever turned up in the most unusual place?
In all likelihood, most of us have had these experiences of “kismet.” This spell intends to increase the likelihood of unexpected positive outcomes. In fact, just knowing about it increases its chances of working, because the only way to know if the spell worked is to completely forget ever having cast it.
Any memory of casting the spell means the intention you desire won’t turn out. You can then try re-casting using different “inputs” to see if you get different results. However, from now on, if you’re a cunning person or the kind of person who casts spells, what may seem like an unexpected windfall may indeed be the result of having cast this spell successfully, and completely having forgotten doing so.
This is a very powerful spell, and the more you cast it, the more likely you’ll receive results. If it doesn’t work the first time, keep trying, and eventually you’ll see the successes coming your way, with no real memory as to why this might be the case.
MATERIALS: You’re welcome to use whichever correspondences you prefer depending on your tradition. The items listed below are my personal preferences. You also have as much leeway as necessary to experiment. Feel free to replace any specific items with any that you think might work better, as long as you’re following the ‘spirit’ of the spell.
- Incense appropriate to the casting. Frankincense is always a good choice.
- Four candles with colors corresponding to the desired results. Feel free to mix and match. Very general color meanings are:
- White: Protection, Cleansing, New Beginnings, etc.
- Blue: Healing, Health, etc.
- Yellow: Wisdom, Inspiration, etc.
- Green: Attraction (Money or Love), Prosperity, Success, Plant Magic, etc.
- Red: Lust, Strength, Courage, Conflict, etc.
- Black: Baneful Work, Bindings, Hexes, Necromantic Work, etc.
- Purple: Spiritual Matters, Magic, Occult Powers, etc.
- Orange: Careers, Work, Employment, “The Mystery of the Queen Orange,” etc.
- A clean altar or white fabric square on which to perform the operation.
- An egg, uncooked, in its shell.
- Two small vessels of clay, glass, or metal (no plastic please).
- A clean handkerchief or other cloth.
- Something lacto-fermented– sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt, pickles, etc.
- Red wine.
- Honey.
- Fresh, filtered water *or* charged water such as moon water, comet water, Florida water, or aurora water, etc.
- A small amount (maybe 1 tbsp) of healthy soil.
- A few coins.
- A piece of white paper or parchment.
- An ink pen (black is preferable).
- Crayons/paints/pastels for coloring.
THE SPELL:
I. The Opening
- On the appropriate day and time, after you’ve bathed/showered, prepare your materials.
- You can wear whatever you want, but maybe put a little thought into it.
- Before starting, open all of the openable doors and windows in your domicile (all at once or in turn), allow fresh air to flow through, and then close them. If they are your only source of airflow, leave one open; otherwise, you can turn on a fan. Airflow is of the utmost importance as it allows miasma to escape the area and keeps it from settling.
- Sit or stand in front of your workspace/altar.
- Taking the egg in your left hand, wave it around yourself within a few inches of your skin (within your “aura”), allowing it to absorb any unhelpful energies or miasma you may have attached to you. When done, crack the egg into a toilet or sink and allow the water to take the miasma-soaked egg white and yolk away (you can toss the shells too).
- Place the candles in the four cardinal directions. Light your incense and candles.
- Take a few deep breaths and center yourself. Picture a hole opening above you, a portal through which can be seen dark, healthy, heavy, drought-ending rain clouds. With a crash of thunder, begin to feel refreshing rain falling on your head and around you. As the rain falls, imagine 13 figures (the Zardic Agencies) descending from a ladder through the portal and surrounding you, standing to keep watch. Each one salutes you and you salute each in turn as they take their places, addressing them by name:
Welcome ASTUCEUS, Welcome IMMACROCON, Welcome RAGGIUBLU, Welcome SAMPLORIUS, Welcome HEPSEPTETER, Welcome UOUO, Welcome WALMARD, Welcome SUGNUDUMAGU, Welcome CHYMESTRIA, Welcome AUTOGONOS, Welcome MAVANI, Welcome PEGIGION, Welcome MATRI DI CICI. Your presence is a blessing, and I thank you for joining this space.
- When they have all taken their places, draw the following sigil using your parchment and supplies. Perfection isn’t necessary, but give it your best shot:
- Once this is completed, place your vessel into the center of the sigil, and, pouring a small amount of wine into it, say:
I, [NAME], hail you ANTHUOR, the Stag, the Tree, the One Who Withstands, you who emerges from the Hypogeum, full of Light and Life Force. I offer you this wine. Just as you lead forth the Magicians and rout the Beast-faced Monsters, binding them in vines and dressing them in flowers, so by your will and your grace grant that [STATE YOUR DESIRE HERE]. - Next, add the soil to the vessel, stirring it, and say:
I, [NAME], hail you, ACHO, the Older Brother, who rested upon the face of the waters before even mighty ANTHUOR set his hoof upon the world. I offer you this soil. Just as you are the foundation upon which all things rest, so by your will and your grace grant that [STATE YOUR DESIRE HERE]. - Next, add the honey to the vessel stirring it, and say:
I, [NAME], hail you, BARBARO, Mother of Forking Paths, without whom no Mysteries would be possible. I offer you this sweet honey. Just as you forbid the bell of finality to be rung, so by your will and your grace grant that [STATE YOUR DESIRE HERE]. - Next, add the water to the vessel, stirring, and say:
I, [NAME], hail you, Ever-living BUORTH, the Firmament, the Timeline. I offer you this water. From you do all things descend, and to you will all things eventually ascend. Nothing occurs or abides except by your presence, so by your will and your grace grant that [STATE YOUR DESIRE HERE]. - Finally, add the coins to the vessel, and say:
I, [NAME], hail you, WORMWOOD, the Changer, the Clearer of Fields, progenitor of the multitudinous fungi and animalcules who transmute death into Life Force. I offer you these coins as payment for your changes. Just as you know the Old Names of Things and transform them into New Names by your Music, so by your will and your grace grant that should the Powers deem it right to allow this desire, all of my memories of this ritual shall pass into nothingness. - Carefully take the parchment with the sigil and set it alight using one of the candles. Place it into the second vessel, allowing it to burn to ashes, the entire time focusing on your desire. Mix the ashes into the offerings in the first vessel. Make the Sign of Anthuor with your right hand (extend all of the fingers except the middle, which is bent down towards the palm) and dip your middle finger into the offering vessel. Anoint your forehead with a drop of the liquid.
- Say:
I have said your signs and symbols of your names so that you might hear me. Now I release this desire into the Greatness of the BUORTH, and send my thanks for attending this working. ANTHUOR, ACHO, BARBARO, WORMWOOD, BUORTH. HELMOQUINTH! - Turning towards the Zardic Agencies who surround your space, dismiss them one by one:
Thanks be to you, MATRI DI CICI, PEGIGION, MAVANI, AUTOGONOS, CHYMESTRIA, SUGNUDUMAGU, WALMARD, UOUO, HEPSEPTETER, SAMPLORIUS, RACCIUBLU, IMMACROCON, ASTUCEUS. I honor you and all of the Zardic Powers who effect the will of ANTHUOR. Envision them climbing back up the ladder, through the portal into the sky, the rain slowly stopping as they go. Once they are all ascended, allow the portal to close and seal it with a wave of your palm. - Extinguish the candles and incense, and, taking the offering vessel, go outdoors. Dispose of the offerings in whichever place seems correct according to your insight into your surroundings. Thank your personal Liminal Spirit and hope you forget you did any of this.
