An updated analysis of my practice
From time to time, I feel that it is a good idea to analyze one’s own craft and see how things have changed or grown over time. Below is a list of tools and practices that I engage with daily. it may seem small but they are powerful.
Incantations: My voice will always be a main source of my power. incantations, be they written or spoken will always be my main way of casting a spell.
Libriomancy: Book magic. I always use books as ways to prepare spells or to call forth powers and abilities that I may not have readily available.
Divination: The methods by which I do divination vary, but there is always at least one way that I perform divination daily. As it stands right now, I use automatic writing as my divination method alongside gaming divination.
Pseudocode: This is something I need to get back into. Mainly because it was integral in creating a set of spells I could activate at any point in time from my watch.
Ludomancy: Gaming magic has a long list of uses from crafting items in game to create enchanted items irl, to battling monsters as a way to get past an obstacle in my daily life, to foraging for ingredients for crafting, to potion making via the cooking mechanic. the list goes on.
Wordcraft: This is the magic of writing, speech and reading. Wordcraft is my main practice beyond a shadow of a doubt due to my intelligence type and my love for words. Words are the source code of reality in my practice and as such, can be used for almost anything.
Videomancy: I use tv shows and movies as ways to channel the power of the story into my body and borrow selected powers from characters. I can also use tv shows as a means of divination.
Psychic powers that I use in my craft:
Claircognizance: I often just know things and while it is usually linked to touch or hearing physically, claircognizance is one of my main psychic abilities
Aerokinesis: I have had the ability to manipulate the wind for as long as I can remember. it has been a lifesaver when it comes to my moments of doubt.
Clairaudience: The ability to hear beyond the normal range includes the ability to hear spirits, and people’s thoughts and emotions. I often use headphones and ambient music to calm my mind so I’m not as overwhelmed by the world around me.
Automatic writing: While technically a practical art rather than a psychic ability, I also believe that automatic writing requires a level of inborn natural talent to use.
Empathy: This is a natural ability that everyone has, however, on a psychic level the ability to empathize is amplified to the point that you can tap into other info that people don’t normally have when they are dealing with empathy.
