To See or Not to See?

Spirits, Evocation & Possession

For those of you that require the aid of corrective lenses, do you prefer to perform your rituals with or without them, or do you find it doesn’t make a difference?

My vision is very bad and I wear thick glasses, however I do own contacts as well. I have performed rituals with glasses, with contacts, and without the assistance of either (so: basically blind).
(Edit because I forgot some detail: The only downside to going in blind is that it’s hard to focus on a sigil unless it’s two inches from my face, so I’ve made more efforts to study sigils beforehand.)

I have found that my mind becomes more open to a spirit being around me when I am without glasses/contacts because I’m not unconsciously concentrating on the physical world around me.
When I’ve worn my glasses, I feel as though I mistook reflections from my candles as signs of a spirit. With contacts—ya girl got dry eyes—I just blink too much and put too much focus into how dry my eyes feel haha.

I never wear my glasses during meditation or rituals. I am basically a mole without them and I can’t wear contacts, either. So bare eyed it is. I can see the candle, I can see smoke when I am using one or more candles around it and thats enough for me :smiley: Personally I don’t do sigil gazing with my eyes, sigils are present as soon as I close my eyes, as I would look at the sigil during the brightest day time (and with glasses,lel).

I use contacts, as I am near sighted, and have done rituals both with them and without them, and have found that, at least for me, it doesn’t make much difference.

I typically do them with my glasses on. I’ve done them without my glasses and with contacts, but it doesn’t make a noticeable difference to me. I know where they are in my area and can point to them with or without correction. That’s enough for me.
