Astral Wolf

Blend together raspberries (for stamina and vigor), blueberries (for a calm, protected environment), walnuts (dark energy of the earth, association with witches, heightened faculties), carrot (dispel illusions), meat (optional, for bulk, flavour, and carnivorous ability/tendencies), poppy seeds (optional, commonly used in old werewolf spells, contain potent power), parsley (protection, purification, used in many werewolf spells), green onion (absorbs impurities, for removing doubt and unsure feelings to make the spell sincere and powerful, optional), sage (purification, cleansing and life), salt (purification, common witch ingredient, powerful), basil (powerful herb) and small pieces of orange peel (divination and luck) as well as anything else you think will strengthen the ritual or provide a better flavour.

Mix it in a blender or with a potato masher until all the ingredients are combined. Do not make too much. Put it in a container and store for up to three days. When you are ready, take it outside with a glass of water. This water should be rainwater or snow-water.

Go outside at any time of day. If you can see the sun or moon, it is more powerful. Look to it as you perform this rite. Stand out in the middle of a forest, woods or just a large yard. If it isn't wet or snowy, sit down. Place a ring, necklace, charm or bracelet in the sun/moonlight, and leave it there as you eat the mixture. While doing this, clear your mind and focus, lighting the candle if you have it.

Listen to music if it is hard, and just focus on the change. Visualize every bit of it, interspersed with beautiful forests. The visualization can just be in your mind's eye, what is important is your thoughts. Breathe easily, but not quickly and shallowly. If you find your breath has become extremely shallow, let it. Focus on these things, and then pray to your deity or just to the powers of nature.

Pray that you gain the astral shape of a wolf, that you can feel it, and that you feel this astral shape in daily life as a part of you. Pray deeply while visualizing your astral wolf form as a wolf of light curled around you.

Now focus deeply and imagine this form moving to match your position, then rising up into you. See your own astral human form, your aura (unless you know your colour, just have it glow white) in your visualization, and your soul, and have the wolf body's ears, tail, muzzle and paws manifest in your own astral form before quickly falling onto the paws, ripping downward away from your body to become a wolf standing where you stand, sit or lie down. Now, with eyes still closed and visualizing, get down onto all fours to fully reconnect with this wolf. Watch, from first or third person, as you move into the wolf. When, in your visualization, you have matched the wolf, say this phrase: "Lupus intrat mihi est animus corpore".

Imagine the sensations of the wolf body on your body until you can almost feel it. Focus on those sensations until you feel one with the wolf. Visualize the place in front of you as seen by your wolf eyes. If you visualize colour, this is fine. Smell and feel the world around you. Now move into a more human position and feel the wolf move with you, as it is with you forever. Now strengthen it by repeating: "Sol et luna, lupus talem meum".

Now visualize your aura conforming to your astral wolf body, penetrating the astral ears, tail, muzzle and paws. Watch as it becomes a wolf aura, powerful and wild, bursting with natural energy. Your wolf astral form and aura will strengthen as you meditate on it, visualize it, and wear your charm.

Open your eyes and lie down on your back, repeating an incantation such as this: "The earth gives power to my body". With this mantra, call on the earth's power. You need not use the one above, just root yourself to the earth and call on Her everlasting magick. This has the added bonus of grounding you.

Center yourself, but gather the energy from your wolf parts as well, as they are a part of you now. From now on, visualize them when you visualize yourself. Center the energy at your heart. Feel your heartbeat, with your hands if you have to. After a minute or so of just relaxing, count from ten to one and open your eyes. Stand up, focusing on the wolf form around you, blow out the candle if you have one, and put on your charm. When you put it on, exhale deeply and take a few deep breaths before heading inside.
