  • Meditation and Focus Exercise Wrap Up!

    Hello everyone! It was so heartening to see that so many of you participated in this.  Truly, what this has been all about is manifesting your destiny!  I encourage you to keep track of where these exercises are. This time, we used them in a very general, self-awareness way.  However, they can also be pin-pointed to use to solve problems, meet challenges, manifest things into your life.

    Now you can go back and read your writings.  Highlight those things that jump out at you. What did you discover about yourself, others, your relationship to people, places, and things?  This time we did this exercise to help with self-awareness and to help you get used to this form of work.  You will only do a few things differently to use this to help manifest things in your life. 

    Best of all, you can use these exercises right along with any Spellmaker spell work or adjunct work that you are doing! For instance, if you were doing a nine day spell kit, you could do each day along with your spell kit – configuring the subject of your thoughts to the goal you are working on. If you were working on love spell work, you would start out reconfiguring your question slightly, such as, "Who am I in relation to Fred?" Then you would follow along the same pattern of reconfiguring your meditation questions to parallel your spell work.

    You could do the same with candle work or any other of our magickal work – you can just slightly reconfigure your questions to work towards your goal. However, you do still want to stick with the basic questions and the basic pattern of questions – just reconfigure them to make sense with what you are doing.

    After you have worked with this exercise for awhile, you will find that you turn to it more and more to solve problems, etc. You can use alongside any project, magickal or otherwise.

    I also wanted to mention that the guidance to present these exercises, find the appropriate pictures, etc., came to me in a meditation and just rushed forward so fast that I almost could not write down the original 9 questions you should ask for the meditation itself!  It was wonderfully overwhelming!

    I hope you enjoyed it! I would love to hear all of your comments and thoughts on this.

    Love to all,

  • Defiance.

    Hi everyone! Mambo and I watched a movie the other night titled, “Defiance.”  Have you seen this movie?  It is a powerful film about the human spirit, survival, and love.  It is also a true story.  If you have not seen it, I highly recommend it.


    One thing among many that really struck me was the love story component to this story.  I don’t really want to give the story away, but love grew in probably the most adverse conditions that one could experience.  It would seem that love, romantic love, would have been the last thing on peoples’ minds in these conditions.  But it existed.  Not only did the love exist, it grew, thrived, and lasted for many years between some of the couples.


    It got me to thinking – are some people lazy about love?  If everything isn’t perfect, the perfect man or woman, the perfect restaurant date, the perfect flowers and gifts, then does it mean the love is lessened?  I think a good question to ask is can you love under adverse conditions?  What happens when the “perfect” man or woman becomes less than perfect due to some terrible circumstance?  Do you walk away, or do you still see the perfection under the circumstance?


    So much emphasis is put on what someone you love has to be – what he or she has to do, give, become – that I cannot help but wonder if some people are just soft and lazy where love is concerned. To watch this movie and see these people falling in love under horrific circumstances was just mind blowing. On the other hand, I suppose that under horrific circumstances would be a great place to bond, share the fear and horror with someone.


    Anyway, if you want to see what I am talking about, watch the film!


    Love, Parran Matt

  • Meditation and Focus Exercise Day 9: How do I manifest….

    Hello, welcome to Day Nine of our exercise.  This day we have a few choices in our meditation question.  In speaking of "love" we have some choices:  How do I manifest/keep/improve love in my life?  So depending on what is happening in your life, this question may be framed differently.

    Instructions:  Take a few deep breaths and relax yourself. Stare at the picture below with the thought in mind:  "How do I…….?"   Spend about 3-5 minutes staring at the picture and asking yourself the same question, "Who do I love?" After about 3-5 minutes, write down some of your impressions.  When you are done writing, stare at the picture again and ask yourself the same question, "How do I….?" After about 3-5 minutes, write down your impressions. Repeat the process one more time.  After your final writing down of your impressions (you should have written something down three separate times), close your notebook and do not go back and read your impressions. Get up and get away from your computer for a few minutes, drink some water, or take a short walk.  Come back tomorrow for a wrap up of this exercise! šŸ™‚

  • Reality.

    Good morning everyone! Mambo Sam and I were having a talk about the reality of things this morning – what you see in your spell work as it is going along may not necessarily be the reality of it.  It is important to remember that sometimes things can seem to be "going wrong" with spell work when really all that is happening is that the spell work is being processed by your HD. 

    I cannot emphasize to you enough the importance of keeping in touch with your caseworker.  If you don't have one, please write to mycase@spellmaker.com and get assigned to someone. Your caseworker is the best person to help you with the Reality TV of your relationship when spell work is in play!  It is so important for you to know the difference between the reality of things and the way things seem.  Your caseworker can help you know the difference.   Sometimes things are not what they seem, no more than those chickens below are actually watching reality TV.  šŸ˜‰

  • Hang in there!

     "The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests. " – Epicetus

    Since I have been answering the phone here at our www.spellmaker.com office, I have had the pleasure to speak with many of you. One thing I have noticed is how quickly some people seem ready to throw in the towel at the first sign of spells "not working." I don't see very much of the idea of hanging in there or working through the difficulties.  At the very least, hang in there until the spell work is finished and the processing period is done.  So many people want to give up even before spell work is done! 

    As Mambo always says, "It's called spell WORK for a reason, it's work." šŸ™‚ Just because something is difficult, that doesn't make it time to give up. In fact, have some sense of adventure, of challenge, of the satisfaction of meeting something difficult and beating it. In other words, don't give up so easily!

    Best regards,
    Parran Matt

  • Poem: Destiny is Calling

    Although I am not necessarily one to read or quote a lot of poetry, I thought that this poem could make a lot of sense for some of you.  It is not easy to keep going sometimes, or even to try again if you feel you failed at something.  So, I liked this poem for all of you who feel like you got knocked out and are down for the count!  Get back up.  Try again.  Male or female, we all get knocked out once in awhile! The poem was only credited to someone going by the name of "manlypoetryman" – so that is the best I can do to give credit to the author.

    Love, Parran Matt

    Destiny is Calling…

    Finding Myself at the Place Where:

    Destiny is callingā€¦and I will answer it one more timeā€¦

    Re-Inspire my desireā€¦This time I will put it all on the lineā€¦

    With Determinationā€¦the highest priority on my mindā€¦

    Wishful thinking takes overā€¦I will punch my way out of a bind.

    Driven by my deepest fiber from withinā€¦

    I will step back into ā€œthe Ringā€ once againā€¦

    This timeā€¦It will not be overā€¦until I say whenā€¦

    And go toe to toe with my oppositionā€¦a desire of all men.

    When a man is given the Opportunity and inspired by Courageā€¦

    Getting back into the fight as an older manā€¦becomes a rite of passageā€¦

    As with wineā€¦the years behind itā€¦help improve itsā€™ vintageā€¦

    Prepared for the task at handā€¦Iā€™m ready to start a rampage.

    Every man has to do what he has to doā€¦Thatā€™s trueā€¦

    Of stamina and enduranceā€¦Iā€™m here to tell youā€¦

    Better not throw in the towelā€¦until I am throughā€¦

    I will not leave until I do what I have come here to do.

    Overcoming this challengeā€¦shall be my legacyā€¦

    At the Summitā€™s topā€¦I will be what I must beā€¦

    After taking all that life has dished out at meā€¦

    Then you will ultimately see…That I will have the victory.

    So after strugglingā€¦and after so long of not feeling completeā€¦

    Something or Someone will pay for every time I was beatā€¦

    Invincible ā€¦I was not down for the count in total defeatā€¦

    Donā€™t ever count me outā€¦At the place where destiny and determination meet.

    Poem was Inspired by George Foreman's real life. He became the oldest man ever to win a Major Heavyweight Title. He knocked out a 26-year-old Michael Moorer in the 10th round on November 5, 1994. He was 45 years old.(Wikipedia.org)
