Book Discussion Planetary Magick by Mari Silva - Do i really need to buy a lot of ingredients?

[thiago1v1s1]

Greetings,

I was reading the mini book made by Mari Silva about Planetary Magick and to be honest, i felt that she uses too much ingredients for spells, in a way that it is actually too expensive for the rituals.

As the basis of planetary magick is actually gathering gravitational and magnetic forces to resonate with the intention. So i really need to use a cooking recipe and use many ingredients that could be eaten in a meal to charge the spell? It feels like i'm wasting food,tho

Considering that Mari Silva doesn't exist and is a pen name for poorly written AI "books", I'd chuck the "book" in the bin and pick something written by a human.

Just read Agrippa and Denning&Phillips if you want to practice planetary magic, considering that "Silva" seems to have merely ripped off the name from a Denning's book and asked an LLM to write something resembling it.

I didn't integrate any food into my rites for a long time, because I was broke when I started magic. You can get by with a pen, paper, tea lights, and whatever good smelling incense you have!

The Arbatel is probably the easiest you can get, no tools needed at all. Seven Spheres by Rufus Opus is pretty approachable with few tools. David Rankine's books get a little bit more in depth on the conjuration process if you want to go deeper. There's plenty more out there all over the spectrum. Balthazar Blacke has some nice videos on youtube for making the ceremonial parts easier too
