| 11. The Magic Mirror as a Protective Implement A magic mirror also can be used as a defensive or protective tool. The impregnation of the emissive power has to be modified so that the rays of light will detain the undesirable influences or throw them back to their starting place. In any case you have to load the impregnation of the room or mirror with akasa, transferring the quality of intangibility and impenetrability into it. Any accumulation of the akasa principle is impossible, but the wish impregnation for the sake of a dynamic effect can be repeated frequently. It is left to the magician to manufacture several mirrors for different purposes. But if he is working with long-distance transference or reception, naturally he must not insulate his room with akasa because this would prevent him from long-distance operation. Techniques for screening from negative influences and insulating certain spots are dealt with in my second book, The Practice of Magical Evocation. Apart from the possibility of using the magic mirror as a protective implement, other advantages are offered to the magician. He can use the magic mirror to put all the known fluids (magnetic, electric, electromagnetic) in operation and work with them in his practice; which fluid he uses depends on the activity and the effect of his wish. 12. The Magic Mirror as a Projector of Powers, Beings, &c. The magic mirror also can be used to condense all the forces of the mental and astral planes to such a degree that they can be perceived by persons who are not trained in magic at all. This is not a matter of mere imagination or suggestion, because the thoughts and entities condensed with the practices described here can be condensed in a mirror in such a manner that it is possible to take a photograph of them. Here are the instructions for the practice: The surface of the mirror is loaded with the condensed earth element projected directly form the universe. Do not project it through the body because that will cause paralysis. The stronger the accumulation, the more visible will be the appearance of anything you wish to project. Consequently it will be opportune to repeat the accumulation of the earth element several times. If you wish to make an image or an elemental visible to any other person, proceed as follows: Introduce the akasa principle to the head of the person, or to the whole body, and order the akasa principle to remain effective only for the duration of the experiment. Transfer the image to the surface of the mirror with such a clearness and distinction as if it were reality. Hold onto this conception. When the person being influenced with the akasa principle observes the mirror, he will see your conception reproduced similar to a film. You can produce the same effect in the same manner with any elemental, elementary or phantom. But if you decide to call a being out of the astral or any other plane, you must fill the space around your mirror with the akasa principle. It is better to fill the whole room with akasa. This preparation would not be necessary if you had a second mirror impregnated with akasa in the room. All the preparations being completed, develop a trance by introducing the akasa principle to yourself, and in this condition of trance, call the being. As long as one is not absolutely familiar with the practices of magical evocation as described in my second book, one has to be satisfied with calling deceased people from the astral plane, a performance that is to be brought about with the help of the imagination. By means of the accumulation of the earth element on the mirror surface, pictures or beings will be materialized so that they can be seen and heard by untrained persons. Everything that has been seen is, therefore, not a hallucination, for the magician is able to take a photograph of the picture condensed by the earth element. But mind! Pictures condensed in such a manner have a much higher vibration than the normal light which we know. Therefore photographs like these have to be taken in the shortest time possible, at least 1/1000 second exposure. It does not matter whether the picture is taken in the day or night, or whether the mirror is lit up or dark. But if you want to photograph the mirror and its background as well, lighting certainly will be necessary. Otherwise there will only be the materialized picture in the mirror. Photographic plates are preferred to film. When photographing entities of the mental plane, a blue colored filter has to be used. For all other beings, deceased people and so forth, a violet filter must be used. For beings that consist of one element only, such as the essences of the elements, use a ruby red filter. Photos of phenomena occurring in nature, mainly concerning the magic of nature, are taken with yellow filters only. The colors of the filters are analogous to the respective planes. Moreover, the magician has the possibility to display a person’s past, present or future. Download 0.49 Mb. Share with your friends:
