[Tutorial] Spell Scrolls - General Purpose Spell Templates

Informative post.
These are my personal experimental methods, based on principles of simple sigil and candle magic.
Requires at least a basic understanding of energy manipulation and is well suited for training.
It should be modified for every spell each time, according to one’s preferences and needs.
Complexity varies depending on a chosen template and the amount of different influences introduced, e.g. engraved and anointed natural wax candles, appropriate colors, handmade paper, magical ink, incense etc. For practice purposes the most basic version with just a pen, paper and some tealights will suffice.
The following steps, like most other workings, are best performed in at least a light state of gnosis at appropriate times.



Spell Cannon


This simplified method is advised for beginners and energy manipulation practice.
Draw either a banishing or an invoking pentagram depending on the nature of your spell and write the exact instruction of a desired outcome in a circle around the pentagram (clockwise if invoking and vice versa). The center of the pentagram will serve as your focus point, mark it in whatever way preferred:
Draw a sigil for your desired outcome, or if it’s a person targeted work – their name.
For targeting yourself it's best to use one’s Magical Name. Adding a drop of blood or a hair – optional, but highly effective.
Place a candle on every point and the center of the pentagram. Starting with the top point, light the candles following the pentagram, then the center.
Using a tool (wand would fit the best here) or your hand focus on the first point and charge it, creating the first energy point.
Follow the pentagram (invoking or banishing, depending on the purpose) and do the same with every point until it is connected (the middle is not part of this).
Now begin charging the whole pentagram and concentrate only on your purpose.
After attaining a strong level of focus begin directing the energy flow towards the center point, pushing it inwards and collapsing into a dense core.
With this achieved close your eyes, visualize the compressed charge of energy in a singular point.
As soon as you feel ready, quickly open your eyes and release, let the charge explode out into the Aether through the central candle, as if from a cannon.
Now the spell is cast.
Burn the scroll over the central candle, or you can leave it open and let all the candles burn down, roll the leftover wax with the paper into a scroll and then burn it.



Triangle of Manifestation


This method calls for the aid of an appropriate external source of power, introducing it’s influence in the form of a planetary glyph or spirit sigil.
Pick three (preferably related) keywords that describe your desired outcome and write them on each side of an equilateral triangle.
Mark each corner with the number "3”, which is the number of manifestation and the symbol of your chosen external influence in the center.
Place one candle in the center and in each corner of the triangle.
Light the candles starting with the middle one, then the first, second and third points, applying the same concept of (counter)clockwise direction as before.
Now call on the influence that you want to use the power of to fuel your spell and ask for it's help. Be humble and respectful.
With your tool (or hand) point towards the core of the central flame and speak your purpose. Visualize it gleaming with power, then draw it onto triangle's first point, speak the first keyword and concentrate on that concept for a while. Now an energy node is created.
Follow the triangle onto the next point, repeat the process until it's connected.
Now form a triangle with your hands and position them in front of you, palms facing away, covering the outer candles, while watching the central flame.
Concentrate on the flame and your purpose, visualize the result. Close your eyes while keeping the focus.
As you speak the three key words again, imagine the flame glowing brighter with each, illuminating the triangle from point to point.
As soon as you feel ready, open your eyes and blast the triangle with your intent, going straight from your mind’s eye through the space between your hands, right towards the very core of the central flame. Now the scroll is charged. Use the Sign of Silence to lock the charge in place.
Best wait for the candles to burn out, then roll the paper with wax into a scroll and burn it. If you can't wait, then spill the outer candle wax on to the scroll, roll it up and burn it over the central candle.



Supercharged Spell Scroll


This is a more advanced method, which makes the best use of scrolls and chain-links them, increasing the potency of your spell multiple times.
Create the primary scroll, then leave it on your altar for a week and charge daily at the same planetary hour. If using the Spell Cannon template - do not release the charge!

Seal the scroll with the Sign of Silence each time.
After one week (same planetary time) create a secondary scroll (exactly the same) and consecrate it over the fumes of a burning primary.
Repeat the process from the beginning of waxing moon until full and do the release at the same planetary hour.



If you're chaining banishing pentagrams you can begin the chain during the full moon and release at the very end of waning/new moon (same planetary day and hour).
Only burn the scrolls in a fire bowl! Wax inside it will melt down and the fire might burn for a little while.

Experiences, results, notes, suggestions and questions are obviously welcome.
