In my opinion, petitioning is one of the most easiest forms of magic. A lot of people seemingly doubt themselves and begin to become insecure in their own practice.
“Did it work? Did I do it right?”
If you find yourself asking these questions, I hope these methods can alleviate some of your worries. Of course, this is all my personal experience and magic is not one size fits all. Take it as my biased approach.
- ALWAYS BURN THE PAPER! I find that burning the paper is the best and quickest method. Disposal is important and in my experience holding onto your petitions does not do very much. Either it be by a lighter/matches OR cooking!
- Cook your petition! Sounds crazy? Probably! This method is as effective if not more as just burning the paper. Seep the ingredients of the spell into it! DO NOT EAT! For example, take a love or lust spell. Lubricate the pan, and add the same ingredients as you would with a candle. But no candle involved. Basic ingredients will do such as jams, sugar, cinnamon, fruits, etc. Or of course mix it with peppers and spices~ Raise the vibrations with some music or
if you feel like it. Dispose outside or if you really can’t, the toilet will do. - Don’t want to cook it? Add some ingredients or oils. Wait for it to dry and burn.
- Draw runes or any symbols of your choosing on the petition.
- Petition a goetic demon. For extra potency add blood. Don’t want to hurt yourself? I find that menstrual blood is more potent than regular. Don’t want that gross stuff and don’t want to hurt yourself? Might have to cut yourself while shaving or scrape. Don’t worry about timing, as long as it is on the tissue/paper - you can draw a sigil over top. It really isn’t as strict as many think.
- Having an altar will automatically up your magic game. Writing your petition on an altar will definitely make a difference. If you cannot have a huge space, there are other methods such as shoe boxes, jewelry boxes, pocket altars, etc. Never feel bad because you do not have what is out of your reach. Magic has been around for ages and in many different situations.
I find that many obsess over “Just forgetting about the petition” or writing what you want a certain amount of times. Or even appearing too desperate. I think that’s limiting. Forgetting takes the joy out of it~ All emotions should be utilized for alchemy. Don’t worry too much about appearing desperate. You want something, don’t you? Why would you waste such a strong emotion? I have received same day results (if my desire is in reach) either i obsess about it or I forget about it. New age stuff sometimes appears like harmful mental gymnastics. Do as you please. I hope this could help a practitioner in doubt. Just burn your petition!
