I have been practicing magick for some years now and my opinion about correspondances have changed....
I used to look for lists to compose my magick work but i found it very counterproductive.
Right now, i work with just one question in mind : "which elements reminds me of the goal?"
Let's take an example : i want to protect my home. Instead of going to Sandra Kynes's book, i will close my eyes and think "what does a secured home feel like TO ME?"
I have a scent of marsmallow, fireplace, berenstein bears, being relaxed, wood, red curtains, yellow flowers....
I may choose to place a bowl with a red knot, some ashes from my fireplace. I may take a visual from a real bear (or a Berenstein Bear one, it's similar in my head, but the Berenstein ones are more humanized) i will place the yellow flowers around the candle. I will place lavender oil on my candle cause it relax me. While performing the ritual, i may eat marsmallow.
Then i will create an energy ball, placing all the feelings invoked in my head, thinking of satefy etc.
Once the ritual is over. I might place everything in a jar...
So what do all those elements are good for? Well just helping me getting in the safe home zone.
If i felt a direct threat, maybe i will have envision my home around thorns. I would smell cayenne pepper, see swords, dragons.... So i would have choose to place all those elements in my magick.
Would i throw out my correspondance book? Well not really, in those situation....
1) i try to connect to a specific spirit. The correspondances would help me to vibe with it.
2) i want to perform magick that is linked to a specific group (the Golden Dawn) or a tradition. In that case, using correspondances that belongs to a group are needy.
What do you think?
