This most likely will be my last thread dealing directly with the visual magick. I will choose to retreat away from very controversial subjects for now. Alienating myself towards other studies. I'm only sharing this because I've found a few very helpful techniques that others on Destee.com might be able to expound and perfect on their own.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I were back with our Ancients, I would most likely be in the fields of artistic and spiritual science, perfecting newer ways for our people to manifest their hidden potential through drawings and art.
This drawing here is very ancient, used even today as a protection again the "evil eye" one of the most feared methods of spiritcraft on the planet. In my rendition however, the eye is used "to protect" instead of just protection against something or someone.
Designs like the ones we find in Kemet, on charms, amulets, and in sacred art- are all a form of visual magick, codes that unlock or lock the potential within our subconsciousness minds. Sigils and ancient paintings all perform a type of mental programming that can also effect people on a spiritual level.
This drawing here, follows along the same concept of a pentagram which is the representation of the 5 elements= earth, air, water, fire and spirit.
The thumb aligns with our Elders/Ancestors- who are in the Earth. The pointer finger, aligns with the Male/Air- the African Sky Gods. The ring finger is the Female/Water- African Goddesses of water. The pink is for the child- fire Gods. The middle finger-the rod of the hand/the phallus- is for spirit- utilized by both Male and Female, child and Elders.
The purpose of this drawing, is to be used as protection for those we want to protect. Elders, family, friends etc. Their name can be written on individual fingers or between them. One name only per hand drawing. You can trace your own hand and create the same drawing. The drawing can be used for visual meditation, or for heavier rituals if you choose. Those of you who into heavier rituals already know what you can do with this drawing.
To protect a child, write their name on the pink, meditate on it- visualize that child and visualize that protection going out towards them. Use fire/candles during your meditations. To protect a female, do the same- but drink water, or "special drinks" if you prefer (lavender works well). To protect a Male, burn incense during your meditations. To protect an Elder- or even to commune with an Elder/Ancestor- write their name on the thumb or between the Male and Elder fingers, burn sage, sprinkle the ashes into a plant, or if mediating outside into the soil. The key ingredient is usually your own spirit or force, you can write your own name on the middle finger, or a name of your God or deity/deities.
More protection symbols to come.
