So let’s go through an example. Since this is mainly a black magick forum, let us petition Lucifer for some money.
“I, Frater Babaloo, ask, in the name of the Lightbringer, Lucifer the Morning Star, to grant to me $1000. I thank mighty Lucifer for His aid, and ask that this money come to me without harm, and within two weeks. So it is done.”
You will notice, in the example above, that one of the conditions placed on the request is a time frame. A time frame isn’t an essential condition for every request. but will depend on your intention. In the case of money, you don’t want the money to come to you 5 years in the future, because you probably have need of it a bit sooner than that so adding in the time frame is helpful.
Now that we have our written petition, what do we do with it?
Find a place where you can be alone for a few minutes. Relax, maybe meditate to calm your mind. Then, read your petition out loud. You can do this once, or you can read it a number of times that has magical significance to you like 3 or 9.
After the final recitation, you dispose of the petition. This is usually done through the elements. You can burn it, or flush it, or cast it to the winds. In ancient Greece, because the petitions were to underworld spirits (and written on clay tablets), they were most often buried. If your intention is to remove something from your life, you could bury it, and, as the paper rots in the ground, so will your intention manifest.
Sometimes, the petition is not disposed of, but left on an altar until it manifests. In his book Sorcerer’s Secrets, Jason Miller talks about leaving a financial petition in a cash box consecrated to Jupiter until it manifests, and then disposing of it. In our example, if you had an altar devoted to Lucifer, then you could leave the petition there.
