Lately I have been considering making a poppet of myself.I was thinking of using it to try and heal myself,bring positive energy into my life and help me develop personality traits that I lack for example forgiveness or rationality.Anyway I have a genuine wish to turn my life around and become a bit more spiritual.I have attempted to misuse magic in the past and have come to the conclusion I am lucky the universe didn't wipe me out.So I really wish to start over and learn how to do things properly.
I have really always had problems with meditation and visualization.I have always wanted to be able to open my Chakras but couldn't because I couldn't visualize at all when I tried my mind always remained blank.To be honest I haven't practiced a lot it drives me insane.When I was younger I suffered a concussion and a while after that I got encephalitis.I wonder if that could effect my ability to meditate or visualize.I was wondering if it was possible to add chakras to the poppet and could the poppet be used to help me open the chakras?
I would like to connect with my spirit animal.My problems with meditation have also hindered my progress with that.I discovered this method but I am not sure if it really works but I tried anyway.I did attempt it without grounding or centering which I think technically even if it was a valid method it wouldn't work because I didn't ground or center the spell.I am an absolute novice at this sort of thing.I am pretty sure I have heard of grounding and centering but It was late that night and I was lazy and couldn't find what I was looking for on the internet so I just decided to give it a shot because I wondered if my intention and desire to contact my spirit animal would be enough.
On a piece of paper, write the following verse:
Guardians of the dream world,
I call you to my side.
Show me my spirit animal,
My protector and my guide.
Show me the power, the beauty, and the grace
In the radiant eyes of my guardian's face.
Center or ground the spell in whatever manner suits you best, then fold it up and place it under your pillow before you go to sleep. You should dream of an animal, one with which you are probably familiar. That is your spirit animal, the one animal you will always be close to, will always be dear to you, and you will always be able to become with the least effort.
Anyway in part my dream I remember being in this building I think it was a very big store.I remember this woman opening this snake tank.There was a Cobra in it.The woman put a Python in and naturally the Cobra killed the Python.The Cobra reared up and opened its hood.For some crazy reason this other woman who I think didn't like me went to lift this Cobra. I decided to move away quickly because I envisioned this Cobra striking out at me.
Im not sure if that would count as a spirit animal making an appearance because there probably was other things happening around me in the dream.I do vividly remember the parts involving the Cobra.Do you think it may have worked or not ?
