If you voluntarily surrender control of your mental processes, the hypnotist can lead you to states of mind you don’t normally discover on your own. The reason magick can seem to circumvent peoples will is because they are not themselves aware of or in control of their will for the most part, thus the principles of hypnosis.

The mind is a reel of total volition, total will, and free will.
The spirit is vital and primary, but it’s sort of “involuntary.” But sort of like your heart beat for some people, they just don’t naturally move with it. It could be said to run fully parallel to the way of the spirit, just as deep potentially, just as diverse.
Having covered mind magick performed on the self, let’s move to mind magick performed to involve and effect others. For others, the mind is their portal and a way through spirit all by itself. For some, for a variety of personal reasons, they just really need to get their mind out of the way. For some people, mind magick would be more of a stumbling block than a stepping stone. So magic with the mind involved would be distinct. I can see how magic would use energy to effect without requiring any minds at all. Flat chants and oms strengthen mind magic. Tones tend to be emotive, and move you away from mind into spirit. Especially drumming, usually atonal patterns. The simpler symbols that the subconscious can relate to more readily then? Scents, colors and sounds perhaps? Yes, sounds too. Is it getting clearer what’s mind magick and what’s not? They can have other properties, but these don’t relate to mind magic, like the metaphysical virtues of some metals, or the residual life force in some animal bi-products. Tools and props serve as focuses for the mind, or can. So when we use tools and props we are in a sense using magick to affect the mind, is that correct? Yes, that’s correct. The human mind often can’t encompass many of those things without giving itself over to that way entirely. This isn’t really mind magick. The ways of the spirits are more in keeping with the behaviour of the prima materia or primal spirit/energy patterns than they are of the way of the mind. Break down your resistance so either you could commune more easily with specific spirits, or so that you could drop your guard and let the spirit overshadow you. Some scents were considered stimulating, but were meant to overpower the one smelling them. It has the red quality which enlivens the mind, but softened by a mix of a golden hue which leaves the mind open and free to shift.Īroma is used in mind magic, though some aromas were not conducive to clarity of mind so they didn’t all have a mind based focus. Color and scent were often used quite deliberately for their psychic effects, like the traditional saffron of a Buddhist monks robe. If you enliven it when it needs cleared, you will just make whatever clutter that much more intense, but it isn’t just about mantras. Generally, you can’t do both in one session. A mantra often contains sacred words and religious/spiritual phrasing, but they were used to either purify the mind or empower it. Some people when they hear that phrase think only of hostile actions, psychic violence, manipulation, but magick has been performed on the mind for a very long time.
