Serpent Sigils in Practice

In keeping with yesterday's post on Serpent Sigils, today we're going to delve into putting these sacred signs to work in a manifest capacity. I'll be walking you through the ritual process, the herbs used, and how to go about it. These are introductory steps that both practiced hands and neophytes alike can access & apply to great effect.

With that in mind, let's dive right in.

We're going to begin with the ritual for the range-increasing enchantment. You will require one herbs and two resins: Marshmallow leaf, Opopanax and Dragon's Blood of the Daemonorops draco variety. Croton lechleri is technically another Dragon's Blood resin, but it contains latex within its resin and thus acts more like glue and a wound curative than an empowering agent. 

Place a helping of each in your mortar and begin to grind the mixture to dust. As you do so, intone a prayer to your guides and ask them for their blessing in beginning this work.

When the mixture is sufficiently powdered to your liking, you can then build the ritual like so:

Do note, I've placed the sigil within the base of the plate you see above, and then coated it in the herb & resin mixture. In essence, I am "painting" the sigil with herbs to solidify the magical base before setting up the spellwork itself.

From there, add the candleholder and candle to the mix. Light the candle and spark the ritual process like so:

As you are doing this, make a distinct point of keeping your focus pointed to the horizon. Understand within the very core of your being that you are sending this magic out to blanket the world & very universe with your essence, for the universe is both expansive and minute in nature.

When you've done this, you've successfully performed a kind of sigil magic. Watch the candle to see how it burns. Keep an eye on the flame as it dances, jumps, leaps, and consumes the wax. Each of the things you observe are signs of how this process is unfolding, and it will give you some sense of what to expect.

Each of the remaining rituals are to be performed in the same way as depicted above, though using different materials. You will require the following for the remaining three rites:
​
Synchronicity: Benzoin, Anise Seed, Calamus root
Prosperity: Queen of the Meadow, St. John's Wort, Rose Petals
Gain: Solomon's Seal, Frankincense, Myrrh

They should, if performed correctly, come out like so:
Synchronicity:

Prosperity:

Gain:

This is what they should look & feel like when performed back to back, side by side:

If you perform these rituals correctly, you'll get the above results & move forward to see these results manifest in the real world.

May these serve you well.
Blessings,
