Hi wizards of this forum, I have the next question: what type or types of magick can be used to change emotional states? let's say, from being tired to be energetic, or from being unmotivated, sad, apathic, depressed etc, to be motivated and with inner drive and with disposition to work? My goal is to master these types of magick in order to master my emotions and therefore my personal growth and life. Thank you!

There are so many thing you can do. However don't except miracles either, magick won't help if your body is physically tired. Those techniques however can help to say focus or switching the vibe within and around you.


Let's imagine you want to keep your mind focus. You might choose a sky blue color to represent it and breathe it in.

Imagine that you are in the sky, only sky blue color with white clouds.

Take a deep breathe and SEE/FEEL this light blue color enter your body. Imagine that every cells of your body is imbued with the idea of focused/clear minded....

Hold on on think of what you want to get rid of, choose the color that symbolise it for you and PORE BREATHE IT OUT of you while the sky blue color remains.

(You might choose an earthy feeling/color, or a firey one.... Or maybe a watery one if you feel loaded with bad emotion)

Then you may want to super charge yourself with that sky blue color and diffuse it in your aura and the room while you breathe out.

I think that's a whole big portion of what magic is about. I kind of think magic can be a type of "glorified psychology". Our brains work best with understanding symbols and metaphor, so it is only suiting that magic is used to help balance our psychological makeup. The concept of the elements themselves allude to our own internal make-up.

Transformation is the name of the game, and I place a huge importance on self-improvement and growth. Magic is both external and internal. Insomuch as the internal is concerned, this is a large focus for many in the field. There are myriad books, essays, articles and the lot on how to approach your own psychology using magical energy. I groan whenever the phrase "what works for you!" is thrown around, but when it comes to person-hood, that's the name of the game. You have to find practices and techniques, a framework, that makes the most sense and resonates the deepest with your own background, upbringing, and orientation of the world.

I find doing simple spells and meditations can be the most effective. You don't need fancy pomp and drawn-out ritual in order change your outlook. But performing little things here and there can provide the necessary "fuel" to help change how you see the world, and be a potent motivator for a number of things.

Mental Transmutation, The Law of Polarity, Alchemy. Hot and Cold are both poles to one thing, Temperature. Everything has it's opposite: Darkness and light, Tall and Short, Big and Small, Hate and Love. You cannot change Hate into Tall or Darkness into Heat.

There is this incredible table from Liber Null & Psychonaut, I recommend reading on that and the Kybolion to get a full understanding of this art. If you wish to stop feeling fear, you use your trained faculty of attention to arouse courage, you don't try and attack the fear. Other magical practices can be used, rituals that are aligned with certain correspondences that are listed in the chart below.

If it's any consolation, this should be some of the easiest magic to do, since it takes place entirely within you. You'll be able to tell if it works right away, too.

This is a very interesting question.

Personally to be effective in the magick I perform I rely very heavily, if not solely, on my ability to control and shift my emotions at will. So for me, the ability to control my emotions has to come before effective magick 😂

Sorry I don't have an answer for you but I want to thank you for bringing this to my mind.

What you are trying to achieve can be done with my favorite practice, spamming mantras. The states start changing, chakras spinning, glowing. Energies moving through you. Perception becomes sharper, effects go higher and higher.
Over time something changes in your mind, permanent changes for the better. Ability to focus better. Increased awareness, a higher connection to the surrounding areas and energies.

I'll refer to this here as "spamming".
Examples. You spam and feel energetic. For me certain practices give a nice refreshing feeling in the morning. I wake up earlier than I normally would.
The practices can give powerful altered states where you feel inner peace at all times. Instead of being depressed and sad, your mind is filled with peace, tranquility, serenity.
States of supreme wellbeing, as if consuming drugs.
Maybe your mind is filled with annoying thoughts, spam, and the state changes. All thoughts disappear.
Depending on what your work is, it may be possible to do this while working. After some training you'll be able to get into the mode where something is playing like a never ending mp3. Something very boring could suddenly change into an interesting state where time goes faster.

It doesn't take that long to get something going but you have to put in some serious work. You'll have to figure out the path as there are many to choose from. Also at first a lot of this can feel exhausting and overwhelming, until a certain connection cracks open.:p

@Amadeus what you are saying is really interesting, what are you refering to when you say spamming mantras?, like the overrepetition (more than 108 repetitions) of popular mantras of hinduism like "Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha" (a mantra for Ganesha for example)? or are you refering to other types of mantras not very known?

Yes, overrepetition and long sessions 4-12+ hours at once. The Hindu mantras are indeed often read in 108s or 1008s but here I'm talking about very long sessions. The mantra you mentioned, if you choose a very fast approach can be read in less than 10 minutes. The 10 minutes can give you something depending on some individual characteristics however long sessions and openness are required which usually take a lot at first.

By doing this you establish an interesting connection between you and with what you are connecting. About like a personal computer connecting to a server over a network.
There are many of them in Hinduism but as the paths I meant there are Sufism and Christian monasticism, all of them have them. The effects and energies feel different. One might feel stronger than another and give better states but then after a while it can be different. It has a lot to do with the power names in there as well, some of them are very blazing hot.
Until a certain point it is easy to use practices from all 3 but after reaching some milestones, switching can become difficult.

All 3 in total have a lot of them. Hinduism has an absurd number of mantras ranging from very short to very long. Memorizing them can be challenging. There are known and less known ones, yes.
There are some that have more "weight" and are advised not to be used without enough experience.

If you do experiment with this, take it easy and at first avoid long sessions, the process has to start from 30-60mins a day. For some people this can be too much but most would agree that 30 is alright.

Imagine that there is a tube, a pipe or some sort of a channel inside you. There are blockades and some dirt in there. Every mantra reading is like a drop of water that starts clearing this pipe.
The quantity becomes a stream and the stream at some point will blast off whatever is in that pipe so that it becomes clear and more open. The pipe itself gets upgraded over and over again. There can be certain side effects with it but it will get better and better over time.:unsure:

I’m wondering after reading your water pipe analogy … is there a way certain people have inverted the mantra ‘technology’ to be used for selfish purposes?

Yes, you can use the practices for selfish purposes, goals. The energies that you get from such practices can be directed at something that you want. This can be quite hard to do, strangely easy and at the same time hard.
At exploding energy levels, it can be used for this.
There's the concept that when you do the mantras connected to a deity, you're giving them worship and for that you can get something in return, even when you are not asking for anything. Then there's something about being loaded to the maximum from energy. Sometimes it feels like somebody is helping you out and the other times there's a strong feeling that it's just you directing the energy somehow at your target goals. This leads to a lot of questions, what exactly is going on?

Some people have told me there's the concept of service given through following formulas until you reach a specific number, then the chest opens. People talk about formulas and "science". Then something about "resonating on the same frequency".
What I've seen is that low spam gives some spiritual benefits, high spam gives a lot of spiritual and at some point also other benefits.
There are short term effects, long term, strange milestones. Looks like there's a lot going on.

The pipe thing. It feels like the energy moves between top and bottom chakras. The feeling is that there's a pipe between all that. After spamming for a while you will start feeling all that better. I've taught people the art of "spamming" and they all felt something like this being there. The quantity and raw force are needed to clear it out so that it can be felt better. Slow and steady or with brutal force, which can give some nasty side effects. :unsure:

I might as well add this.
Imagine that the pipe has a covering. Some people have more, others have less. A small bottle cap or some stiff metal thing. The light energy starts going through, both internally and externally. At first the cap on it doesn't want to move and the energy won't move well. The force which is applied is like blowing a balloon. It stacks against the cap until it blasts off. When that happens you physically feel it exploding off. Suddenly there's a level of increased awareness. When it's new to you, the incoming energies feel overwhelming. This gives pains in the head. Then you keep smashing it so that it remains open. The different practices can either clog it or keep it open, different scenarios are possible. Depends what and how you are doing. It's a long story.

The high incoming energy changes emotional states by 1000x.

Nice, insightful. In some ways it sounds like the progression of becoming aware of energy moving up the spine axis, which can be observed as a snake like motion while inhaling. Personally I’m at the point where the motion continues right to the base of the skull and that seems to be the cap. Perhaps spamming is the way forward … any books you can recommend on what you’re speaking about?

Yes the axis. When it moves through the key points, the main chakras, you experience something special. Some people get more in the heart chakras or bottom ones, others feel it more at the top. You can focus on some point like the hesychasts do, heart, or just spam without focusing on anything other than clearing your mind of all thoughts and staying in the mode.

The most difficult part is figuring out what to spam and how much. Overloading with too much might not end well. Finding that perfect spot will be challenging. It has to increase the capacity and levels but without being too much over your limits.

I found some small bits of information in random books but there was nothing special. Yes, there were some exercises but the information was very vague. Maybe somebody can help you in the book recommendations section. I don't think I've ever found any 100% useful books on this.

It feels like there is a layer (cap) on the third eye & inside and something on the top of head, I have felt all these regions opening and energy flooding in. Top of the head, left & right and something inside.
