My
mojo bag is made of burgundy velveteen fabric with silver shining stars and
moons and a golden ban at the tip. It is
closed with a golden tie thread.
Within
my Mojo bag I have placed the sacred holy waters of life, incense I prepared to
aid me in my sacred journey within the realms.

Protection from psychic attack or intentional magic attack
a
piece of Azurite, it is associated with the 5th, or Throat Chakra but
is also associated with the 6th, or Third Eye/Brow
Chakra and 7th, or Crown Chakra.
It is most especially used in association with the Third Eye as a
powerful vision enhancer; it can balance, stimulate and empower it all at
once. Azurite will also work to align
all seven chakras
Lotus oil, a burning dish, sand, charcoal,
fire striker, a scroll of the words below, I printed my scroll on a background
paper of the sacred geometric Flower of Life.
Sigils/Symbols
of protection and psychic power are:
The
right eye (eye of the soul, by which it looks to the eternal. This symbol allows focus on higher, finer
spiritual vibrations. It also ascertains the infinite nature of our soul, and
our capability to tap into the infinite universe).
Fire,
(this ancient alchemy symbol represents divine energy, purification,
revelation, and transformation).
Quincunx: (An arrangement of five figures within a
square. Historically, it has infused the worlds of nature, man and the stars.
As an ancient alchemy symbol, it represents the whole being more than the sum
of its parts. In the alchemical mineral world, the quincunx occurs in the
formation of metals, in atomic structures. Additionally the quincunx represents
(wo)man's ability to cross from four to five his/her nature. Meaning we all
possess the four levels of physical matter (stone, plant, animal, man) and we
are able to ascend from these four elements to the final fifth – which is godlike or
enlightened stature).
The
shaker I made from a gourd back in the 90s and a smudging fan is one of the project I did for this class.

I
begin by cleansing with a sacred bath. I
wear clothing I only use in ritual or journeying, Yes, I’m from the old school
and believe in the sacred acts, so whenever possible I do all I can to aid in
my shift of consciousness and sacred mind set.
I then, cleanse, ground and center myself. Cleanse and Bless my sacred space. I bring my focus to the here and now and take
one step the side to shift myself into a sacred place between the worlds. I dress my candles with the lotus oil, light
my candles and incense and fan the incense about me and this space. I recite the words listed below. I then begin by journey by using my
shaker. I am also a rocker when in
meditation/trance. I feel and hear the
drums within me and rock to the rhythm of their beat.
I Am Priestess
I am one with the Sun and the Moon
I walk upon Mother Earth and Swim in her waters
I call to the Wind, the Fire, the Water and the Earth
And they answer me.
I can hear the whispers of the winged ones
Watch and understand the salamanders
Telecommunicate with the Undines
And see and respect the trail of the Gnomes
I am Sister to them all
For they all are part of me
It is the breath I take that gives life
The passion and will that moves me
The emotion that allows me to feel
And the stability and desire to bring it all together again
I am one with the Sun and the Moon
I walk upon Mother Earth and Swim in her waters
I call to the Wind, the Fire, the Water and the Earth
And they answer me, for we are one.
Air, breath of life from the
beginning of creation, cleanse and open my mind. Prepare me for this sacred journey that my
mind may be open to the wisdom and guidance to be shared and the clarity to
understand it.
Fires of creation and
transformation cleanse me now of all ill and bane. Prepare me for this sacred journey that I may
move among the realms and be a beacon of divine light.
Waters of life, from the
first drop that fell into creation, purify me as I prepare for this sacred
journey, that I may pure in heart, mind and action.
Earth the foundation of the
first spark that became my physical home that I manifested within. Prepare me and my way in this sacred journey
that I may know the purest of foundations and stability, that I may be filled
with the strength and the gentleness of creation as I move between the worlds.
I commit myself to this
journey, may I be filled with the knowledge and guidance to be a benefit to my
higher good and to the good of all. May
my guides and guardian be with me and protect me, keeping all ill and bane at
bay as I move through the realms of this sacred journey.
This is my will, So Mote it
Be

My camera batteries are
charging, as soon as that’s done I will take my photo of my mojo bag and add it
to the photo file in the group.
Blessings as Always,

One the other side of my rattle, I placed 2 Crows, one
flying upward and one flying downward. This
is also a representation of Yin and Yang, bringing balance to all things. The Crows are the messengers between the
worlds, Crow flying up takes our messages to the other realms and Crow flying
downward, brings us messages from the other realm. I wanted to create an open line of
communications between the realms to aid me in my journeys. I also added a Bear Claw print to call in
protection, strength and continuation.
Honoring Bear as Warrior, for the true warrior is the peacemaker. Bear shows us this by its character,
peacefully existing in the wild eating from shrubs and berries displaying
tempered ways, yet if the Bear becomes threatened then it is a most powerful
and furious creature. Bear is very
protective of its children even to the point of its own death. So I ask Bear to walk with me in my journeys,
not only protecting me, yet teaching me the ways of true Warrior. Lastly you will notice the images of a Circle
which contains a Square (also known as the Circle Squared) and in the center of
the square is a centered dot. This
symbolizes the unity of Spirit and Matter.
The pathway of oneness, that we are never disconnected and that the
knowledge and wisdom that we strive to find is ever present within. This is symbolic of our journey of
reconnecting on a conscious level to a higher consciousness. The centered dot represents the
all-encompassing oneness of infinite existence.
