Magic symbols have been around since ancient times and are believed to increase the power and efficiency of magic spells. Generally rune scripts, animals, amulets, talismans and the like are used as magic symbols. Scripts such as the Malachim script, Theban alphabet, Writing of the Magi and the Celestial alphabet are also considered highly magical.
Crystal balls are important symbols of magic. They are used to clear energies of spaces. Each crystal stone has a different type of energy. They are believed to help in the spread of their particular kind of positive energy when placed in an appropriate position in the house. They stimulate love, prosperity, peace, confidence, etc., when placed in your home. Crystal balls are also used in divination and foretelling.
Animals have also been widely used as magic symbols. Animal figures are believed to give power to rituals. They can also symbolize desires. Animal figures are generally carved from gemstones or made from metal or plaster. The cat is said to symbolize independence and earth; butterflies and dolphins symbolize joy and happiness; panthers symbolize power and the horse, friendship. Figures of these animals are used in certain rituals in which spells are cast to obtain one or more of these qualities.
Amulets and talismans have long been the most popular and sought after magic symbols. Amulets are objects that possess magical properties which provide protection against illnesses, curses, bad luck and evil. Garlic, bells, pyramid pendants, shell fish pendants, happiness necklaces, sandstone, alligator hides, seahorse horns, spiders and rings are used in amulets.
Talismans are objects that are believed to contain supernatural powers and pass them on to their owners. They have rune carvings on them to increase their powers. Scrolls, paper squares, Egyptian scrolls, stone rubbing, prayer discs, lacquer boxes and pentagrams have been used as talismans through the years.
When practicing magic, there are also many different elements involved. A sacred space or hallowed place to perform the magic is sometimes important. The tools that are necessary such as wands, crystals, stones, or a mirror for scrying.
Some magical workings require herbs or other plant materials such resins. There is usually an incantation of sorts depending on the particular magical working. All of these are important elements used in various magics but none are more ancient or powerful than the symbols that are used.
There are an infinite number of magical symbols that can be utilized for an infinite number of workings. You may be scratching your head and wondering how that is possible, but I am not just referring to the dusty old symbols that already exist and have been utilized for centuries.
Some of the most powerful magical symbols are the ones that we create ourselves for our own personal magical use. True magic is a creative art form and should be practiced as such. When you create your own magical symbols and empower them with your will and spiritual energy, you are tapping the most powerful source of magic. It comes from within and flows from your Higher Self.
Your Higher Self is speaking to you all of the time. It not only speaks to you within your dreams but it can also guide you through your daily life. You must be willing to listen to its voice and hear the truth of its words. The Higher Self takes on many different forms and it is represented uniquely to everyone. We all have our own system of beliefs and it communicates to us through the patterns of these beliefs.
Communication with the Higher Self can be achieved through mediation but it needn’t take place within the mind alone. Sometimes your Higher Self can communicate through the synchronicity of events within our everyday life. It is through developing a healthy connection with your higher self that you can facilitate the creation of your own powerful magic symbols.
Sometimes these symbols of magical power may come to you while you are dreaming. This is another one of the many good reasons for keeping a detailed dream journal. If you keep an accurate journal of your dreams you can draw any of the symbols that you may see while dreaming within your journal along with a detailed description of the dream itself. Other elements of the dream may be used as a clue to the relevance of the symbol and the nature of the power it channels.
Another way of creating your own magical symbols is through automatic writing or in this case, automatic drawing. You will need a blank sheet of paper and a pen. I use a sketch pad. Sit comfortably in a dimly lit room with the pen in your hand and the paper beneath it. Clear your mind. It helps if you achieve a light trance by meditating a bit just before attempting this.
Allow you hand to move across the paper involuntarily. At first you may get nothing but scribbles and random lines, but don’t give up. You mustn’t allow yourself to consciously think about what you are doing. With practice you will begin to draw symbols which at first will look primitive and crude but over time they will increase in quality and sophistication.
Eventually, you begin to see the symbols in your mind’s eye before you draw them. In the beginning you probably won’t be able to make sense of the symbols but eventually, over time, the meaning of them will become clearer. It may take a very long time and several years of practice but eventually you may begin to utilize the symbols magically.
The easiest way to create personal magical symbols is by visualizing and drawing them in the same way that you would any other form of art. You can easily create and empower your own personal magical symbols. The power to create them lies within.
