The Speaker at the Gate

    Hello, and welcome! I'm starting this blog to have a place to share my thoughts on magic and the occult more publicly, and wanted to introduce myself and what I do. I'm J/Modern Mystic.

    First and foremost I am a witch. I traffic and pact with spirits, engage in trance work and spirit flight, and work in ways others might find taboo or malefic. My practice goes where my spirits lead it, as it is very rooted in my animistic beliefs. I strive to see the world through this lens everyday. I utilize and work with my environment closely in my practice, doing my best to use mostly materials scavenged and found. I like to describe my practice as "folk magic with a ceremonial twist" as I employ a lot of ceremonial techniques into my witchcraft. I am very familiar with grimiores such as The Crossed Keys, Book of Oberon, and more within solomonic magic. 

    In recent years my court of spirits has become a host of local entities encountered at the graveyard. These allies introduced to me by an entity I call the Speaker at the Gate, the spirit who's opened many doors and roads for me. He's ushered me forward and in front of his authorities where my craft has bloomed into what is it today. Where I'm at a place to share with others the work laid down in the grave dirt. 

    So allow me to open the cemetery gate for you, and invite you in. Come join us in silence and find a seat among the dead.

Creating a spirit womb

What is a Spirit Womb? A "spirit womb" is what I call a tool I use to bring spirits into this world. With the aid of this empowered bowl or pot you can give life to new beings, allowing them to be born into vessels in our realm. The bowl/pot should be about the size of a human head, or big enough to hold a small/medium doll. Smaller spirit wombs can be useful as well for birthing spirit seals, which can be put into spirit vessels, instead of whole vessels. Making a spirit womb: To prepare your chosen object wash it out with consecrated water, cleansing it of all it's pasts uses. Dry it out, and then fill the vessel with incense smoke and let it dissipate. Cover the vessel with a block cloth and let the object rest untouched for about a day. After at least a day as passed, bring out the vessel during a time when the sun is not shining or in a space where daylight can't reach. Bring the vessel to a cemetery, or bring cemetery dirt to the vessel. Fill the bot...

Introduction and Tools for the Book of Oberon

Introduction to the Book of Oberon This grimoire of Elizabethan magic is a great text for the moderately experienced to advanced practitioners of ceremonial magic. Or witches and cunning folk interested in applying some of it's prayers, conjurations, seals, and ritual methods. The edition I will be referencing for this series is the Joseph H. Peterson, Daniel Harms, and James R. Clark one. I may cross reference parts of this book with other grimoires. The Book of Oberon (or BoO) is first and foremost a text written to be used in practice. Being an amalgam of information from other occult texts and having some original works. Suggesting that the writer(s) of it were copying this knowledge and collecting it for later use. This work includes prayers and psalms, short rites and experiments in creation illusions, fantasies, acquiring treasure, angelic conjurations, ways of fumigating and blessing ritual tools, talismans, and infernal conjurations. As well as an office of spirits which i...
