Methods and/or Magic to Improve Your Memory?

[St. Stephen]

Hey everyone -
Curious to see on what methods and means you all employ to help improve your memory for both ritual work and every day life.
Any resources, rituals, practices, tricks etc. you'd like to share?
As always, your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Giordano Memorization System by V. Kozarenko, or his pmemory training. This is an in-depth hardcore mnemonics training, but you can learn a lot just from the principles described in

. Combine the principles of GMS with creative mind mapping and work on your self. What I mean is that to memorize something long-term you must need it and use it. The easiest is when "you" need it to survive. For less important things you'll need a personality or an aspect of you that is related to the memory, it will keep the memory as much as it's alive and strong. Creating a "magical persona", like many wizards do, helps, but it works with anything. If you don't use the memorized data for a long while (about half a year), then you have to rehearse it periodically or risk losing it.
Be careful with Ruslan M. who is Kozarenko's translator and distributor in English, Ruslan is bit of a scammer, a little genius with grey morals

Hi, welcome to the forum. I absolutely love it here, and have learned so much, and I wish the same for you!
Now to get to your question; excellent advise from BBBB above. I would also recommend that you start of at the foundations which would be you!
By that I mean an intake of herbs that look after cognitive functioning (thus memory). The herbs I recommend for that are;

Tumeric
Saffron
Ashwaganda
Cats Claw
Lions Mane
Gotu Kala
Bilboa
Shankhpushpi
Triphala

Most of these herbs are ruled by the Sun you will note.

I think it is crucial to add, that some work has to be done by the practitoner to repair, enhance and maintain ones memory. So I think before you start any type of magical quest to enhance it; it is important to look at how you can first make sure you are doing all you can to have that good clean base. This includes eliminating anything that opposes keeping memory.

Memory is ruled by Mercury therefore Gemini, so in your natal chart so look to your third house, look where Gemini actually is and what planets you have in the third.

Memorising is ruled by the Sun, the Moon and Saturn (source Rex E Bills & Western), therefore; I would suggest looking at your natal again, see where these planets are and using a Talisman.
My advice would be to work with the Benefics, rather than working with a Saturn in Detriment say.

To conclude, (assuming Mercury is in a good position) a Sun Talisman or Mercury, or both! No limits hey!!

Just as you seek additions to append and amend your lifestyle and habits, do not overlook the power of its shadow: subtraction.

What habits, practices, and lifestyle factors are presently attacking and destroying your memory?

Focus on what that looks like for you, and experiment with reductions or eliminations. I made some connections with certain stimuli that were keeping me chronically anxious, emotionally unstable, and more vulnerable overall to factors and situations outside my control. Turns out I'm extremely sensitive to visual stimuli like images and especially video -- can't help but stare at the stuff, and I resent my attention feeling so far outside my own control and manipulable through media. I also found myself exhibiting addictive behavior with patterns of short-form breaking news, headlines, chyron stuff -- as if being the "first" to see and share something positioned me with more wisdom, or better information?

My feeds and the platforms I visit are very different now. Mostly text, mostly long-form, and weekly cadence at the fastest. I want "news" to settle a bit before I sit down to interact with it, especially during a second KGB administration plus the noxious pollution of AI and bots everywhere now making any "breaking news" extra doubleplus sus.

Quantity-wise: finite FTW. I try to refuse to engage with anything that has no clear end point, so no infinite feeds or endless algorithms. There's some neuroscience on this and the psychological benefits of "slow media"

I used the memory palace method combined with servitors to make a self-organizing library in my brain. As far as I can tell, it's working, people compliment my memory.

hey St.Stephen and all


long term research

neuroplasticity exercises there are various ones to stave off memory loss as well as to improve it


an exercise one can start today

with 2 decks of poker playing card decks one can use identical pair cards laid out in a grid pattern

flipping them over to see how many one can match up . the supreme goal is using all the cards in the deck

along with their duplicates thats 104 cards without making a mistake . can be done alone or a game with friends

another benefit to having a deck of cards one can use them to learn cartomancy

various memory card games can be found on youtube

card matching exercises / memory card games


all the best !

Very interesting. Seems like a pretty detailed and thorough course just skimming through it. Thanks for that!

I have noticed Lions Mane in particular having some incredible effects, wish they were permanent. Took some extract for a little bit and it helped me remember music I had almost forgotten about but very much enjoyed in particular.

Deleting all of my social media really helped with regaining some of my focus back. The infinite feed of Instagram had a pretty tight grip on me, so I just decided to get rid of it all almost a year ago. Don't think I'll ever go back.

Awesome, thank you for the suggestion! I'll give it a shot.
