The idea is to be able to conjure up and image of any person, place or thing in your mind in great detail. This ability is necessary for magick and ritual, and should be practiced as much as possible to enhance your versatility. The best type of magickal practice in case of an emergancey is creative visualization that works almost instantly. This means that you can bring that visualization into physical form as quickly as pssible. In case of an emergancey it is your fear or strong will that will give you visualization the "punch" that is needed.
Gather three objects - one that is manufactured, one from nature, and one just for fun. Do not choose an item that is complex in form or full of intricate detail. Save those challenges for later. Each object should be ableto fit comfortably in your hand.
Find a place where you will not be disturbed for at least twenty minutes.(as you are learning, witchcraft requires much solitude in the beginning)
This is not an exercise that has to be done every day. Howevre, the more you do it, the better you will get.
You will be drawing, writing or taping what you see, so be sure to have the approperiate tools ready. You may choose any one of these three mechanisma. Readcompletely through this exercise first to understand what you will be doing, and determine what method you wish to use.
Settle yourself in a comfortable chair and if you are drawing or writing, have a sturdy surface before you for that purpose. Hold the nature object in your hand. Look at it briefly, then shut your eyes and use your other senses to introduce the object to your mind.
Now open your eyes and study the object. Pretend you are a bug. Crawl over the object with your eyes. Imagine what a bug would see if it were traversing this object. Go in and out all the nooks and crannies, see the color variations, feel the texture. When you are through, close your eyes and imagine the same object in the same way -no peeking.
Open your eyes and crawl over the object again; except this time, you will write about, draw or speak about the object. The more detail you incorporate the better the programming.
When you are finished being a bug, you now get to be a bird. Repeat the same procedure that you did with the bug; imagine what the bird sees as it flies over teh object. Have the bird cricel around the object as many times as is necessary to gather the information you need. Close your eyes and repeat the birds' eye view process. Then open your eyes and record your impressions.
The final view is from head on, at eye level. This time you get to choose an animal who can look at the object head on. Follow the same procedures as you did the bug and bird.
The final step in this exercise is for you to shut your eyes one more time without the object in your hand. Envision the object, and see how much your perception of it has changed.
In the days following, work with all three items. Do it more than once with the same object, or try others. When you are through with those things, try some that are more difficult. Move on to photographs and eventually people and larger objects.
When envisioning people, it is important to feel their energy as well as their physical form. Take a trip to a place where you know there will be many people, like a mall. Sit on a bench and people watch testing yourself on the tine it takes for you to take in as many details of particular individuals as they walk by. When working spells and raising energy for a singular purpose in ritual, it is important that your visualization skills are better than average.
After you have worked on visualizing physical things, move on to abstract items, such as numbers. Begin with the number one and holdt hat image in your main as long as you can. When it slips out of focus, move on to the number two. Keep track of how far and how fast yo go with the numbers. You can also use letters of the alphabet fort his exercise as well. The idea is to eventually be able to hold the focus on one number or letter until you consciously determin to dissolve it.
