If you interact with magic, you’re probably very turned on by hilarious new ways of working with your shadow, so that you can get more money, sex and power. Stay tuned, kittens.

As usual if you are very clever with a short attention span like me adjust the playback on this lesson to 1.25 or even 1.5 speed: it will help your focus.

My name is Anna Bellissima, I am an extremely powerful magician (as of course are you), and I am here to awaken you to your fullest magical power.

Today we are getting into it with Demons. Naturally, I will begin by explaining why you would want to embark on such a venture, and after that I shall teach you how to begin demon work for fun and profit.

Before we begin you will find the concepts I share here far more fully explained in Uncle Ramsey’s Little Book of Demons, which I shall detail below. I found the practice so invigorating, I am compelled to share it with you all here.

Setting aside the better known demons of the ancient grimoires, understanding our own demons, closer to home, is an important body of work – a lifetime’s work, in fact – because our demons are the little spirits, the gnarly knots of karma, trauma, conditioning and limitation, that hold us back from the manifestation of our every desire.

These demons are indeed a personification of our shadows – both individual and collective. If you are a regular viewer, you will know that there are many ways of addressing these demons, some of which are outlined in the previous lesson on shadow work.

And today I present another method to add to your craft basket. It is an approach to life’s suffering and struggles that encourages an attitude of curiosity and play; which alone is reason enough to pay close attention followed by gleeful experimentation.

In a moment we will talk about identifying and conversing with demons, but first some context to our demonic invocations.

The central axiom we are working with is to treat all of life as you would wish to be treated. Empathise with recalcitrant technology, converse with the weather… study and name the patterns of frustration (and success!) in your life, then create a conscious (rather than unconscious, as it has been until now) relationship with them.

This is the principle of animism: the attribution of a living soul to plants, inanimate objects, and natural phenomena…. where nothing is ‘inanimate’ – everything is ‘possessed’ of a spirit or intelligence. And here we are extending that attribution of a spirit to PATTERNS of emotions, situations, circumstances. We are noticing patterns (which is an incredible gift of the human brain) and ascribing soul, spirit and intelligence to them.

I strongly encourage you to believe whatever you like, about the literal existence, or not, of demons; simply ‘try on’ animism as an optional set of rules for this Game of Limitation – I’ve found few more powerful techniques for handling whatever life throws at us.

And as we all know by now, when you look for intelligence, with your heart and your incredible human brain, when you look for intelligence in a thing, or in this case in a PATTERN – you will find it.

The first major benefit of animism is this: once you ascribe a soul and spirit to a thing, you can enter a relationship with it. You can communicate, and learn from one another, and compromise or even collaborate.

And the other great benefit of summoning demons in this way, is that it instantly forgives and absolves YOUR self from any sense of blame or responsibility for this situation, no longer is there any sense in trying to ‘puzzle’ your way through the problem, taxing your poor dear brain to come up with ‘the answer’. No longer is there is anything wrong with you that means you can’t make more than a certain number of pounds a month – it’s just that you live with a demon who depends upon your financial stricture.

And in case you still need persuading, this method has has a wonderful side effect: that you learn to treat all other beings in a more empathic, compassionate and humane way. including all other humans, and including of course, yourself.

Now that we understand why it is worth talking to demons, let’s understand how to talk to them.

But before we go on: the lessons I teach on this channel will change your life, the information in them is transformative. So I’d like you to subscribe, if you haven’t done so already – and imagine how deeply your future self will thank you for never missing a precious nugget.

To find your demon, identify any area of your life in which you feel pain or struggle. Some common demons include depression; sickness; nostalgia, or the feeling that everything used to be so much better; lingering injury; our feelings towards our bodies; low self-esteem; financial scarcity; scarcity of love and connection; stress and anxiety.

And having decided on just one of these demons, we can converse with them through divination. Uncle Ramsey, suggests internal divination first, which works like this: generating (through the power of imagination) a strong physical sense of the ‘do not like’ emotion and become very clear on what it feels like in the body. Where it lives, the temperature, whether it prickles, aches, fizzes or burns etc. Ask the demon if this will represent a ‘yes’ answer, and then continue to ask ‘yes/no’ questions using physical sensation as an indication of the affirmative.

For people like me, who are less naturally intuitive, a pendulum may be used instead.

And then as we move forward in life we can look at the ‘mood’ of the pattern or system and ask “If I were in that mood, what might I do next?” and then observing what does happen next.

Imagine we have a demon who is sabotaging our efforts to grow a successful business. How do we address that demon? Presumably, the effect of the demand means that you dwell on where the next client will come from, brood on the possibility of being forced to admit defeat, accumulate pain of rejection and failure.

And we need to turn our attention away from the negative and ask what is gained. Does it confirm a prejudice you carry? Does it allow you to be deliciously helpless and needing rescuing? If you can uncover some hidden benefit, this is an excellent conversation starter because it transforms the relationship you have with one being who is always loyal – the demond. Now they have been reframed as a caring figure who works hard to keep you safe, and you are both in a better position to discuss the problem at hand and seek a mutually agreeable solution.

May I speak with the demon who relies upon my feeling of financial scarcity? Do you adore when I am worried about money? would you be willing to compromise or even collaborate, so that we can both get our needs met? would you be willing to exchange my fear and worry for excitement and arousal? would you be prepared to change the rules of the game so that you rely on my exhilaration? shall we partner up to see just how fast we can get rich? will you be happy to speak with me again soon?

My loves, you are too clever! You have spotted it! This is another form of alchemy. Does you need to believe in demons? Absolutely not. Is this all just imagination? Absolutely. Your human mind and power of imagination is the greatest power you have, and you can use it to turn the rules with which you have been playing this game called life upside down and inside out and play it however you choose.
Are microscopic movements in my fingers influencing the pendulum? Of course they are! The creative force of the entire universe lives within me, I am the entire dreamer of this dream! I know every answer to every question I will ever ask – the pendulum just helps to get it out.

If you are in psychotherapy, your therapist may use the term ‘projections’ to refer to demons. Psychotherapy is a noble calling and an excellent form of self care, but I find working with demons to be far quicker and more hilarious.

And like all magic, once you decide it is true, the Universe starts to unfolding exactly as if it was true. So what will it be? Do you wish to live in a world of magic, or not?

Oh, and I should point out to you, that if your demons start acting up now – well of course it’s because they’ve been watching this lesson with you and may now become upset or even resentful if you do not initiate contact. Of course they may also be relieved and take the opportunity to gain even tighter control over you.

Beautiful soul, I truly hope this little lesson has helped you on your path to unstoppable magical power – I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the world, now that your shadow knows it is accepted, adored and admired.

Thanks so much for watching, please remember to subscribe for more life-changing lessons, I love you, and I will see you next time.

If you keep running up against the same patterns of stuckness, being broke, unhappy at work, unlucky in love or any other repeated and tiresome scenario, you need to show your shadow some love. And I’m about to tell you how.

Before we start, my usual tip: if you are very clever with a short attention span like me, adjust the playback of this lesson to one point two five or even one point five speed. It will help you focus.

My name is Anna Bellissima. I am an extremely powerful magician, as of course are you, and I am here to awaken you to your magical power. The information I share on this channel can genuinely change your life to an overall experience of joy and bliss instead of suffering. So it is a good idea to subscribe and click the little picture of a bell so you never miss a class. We’re going to tackle the subject of shadow work in four parts.

First, we’re going to understand what the shadow is, examine how it can cause us difficulties, learn how to spot when the shadow is at work, and finally, we will explore some ways to love your shadow.

So what is the shadow? The shadow is a term coined by psychologist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung to describe the unconscious part of the personality. Of course, the unconscious part of the personality has existed for as long as we have. But Carl Jung brought this particular terminology into Western culture. There is no intimation that the shadow is in any way bad or evil, scary or anything of that nature.

He uses the description – the descriptor shadow – to describe a part of ourselves that is constantly with us, like our shadow, but which we generally pay very little or no attention to. The shadow describes our unconscious mind and is developed throughout childhood as a response to interactions we have with our primary caregivers. And the shadow develops when our parents or caregivers ideas of how to live in this world don’t match with our our own.

So as little children wanting to please our parents, we suppress or repress certain desires, wishes, behaviors, and they become our shadow. Whatever we repress in order to fit in with our family of origin becomes our shadow. As an example, say that you were a very sensitive, emotional child, but were born to parents who don’t like to acknowledge emotions, don’t understand how to interact with them, and always directly or indirectly give you the message that emotion, that your emotions are too much and you need to be more stoic, more resilient to adopt the British stiff upper lip.

You’re repeatedly being given the message that you need to be different to how you naturally are. Children don’t generally have the capacity to acknowledge that parents make mistakes or that that your parents may not, in fact, be good parents. So what we tend to do instead is outwardly accept the edicts of our parents and the shadow will be formed of the idea that we are too much and that we are sensitive and emotional. And that is somehow a flaw rather than what it actually is, which is, of course, a great strength and gift.

So we’re working with the definition that the shadow is any part of ourselves, of our mind, our personality, our soul or spirit that we do not acknowledge or accept. And finding a way to identify and communicate with the shadow is vitally important because the shadow actually holds a huge amount of power in our daily lives. Consider how often you are shopping for groceries or driving your car, but your mind, your conscious mind is actually somewhere entirely different.

Rehearsing imaginary conversations or regretting the past, worrying about the future. And meanwhile, our shadow, our unconscious mind, is making choices and is quite literally in the driving seat of the car.

So if we’re trying to manifest outcomes following the law of attraction or performing practical magic towards a specific desired outcome, it’s just not happening, then more often than not, that’s because the shadow has its own agenda of how it wants things to pan out. And it is not what your conscious mind has in store. It is not what your conscious mind desires.

The shadow is operating all the time and has a life of its own, its own magnetism and its own magic. So as much as *you* may desire a peaceful life with every thought and every fiber of your being, if your shadow enjoys drama and struggle, your shadow will usually get their way. And very effectively, shadows are indeed masters of manifestation magic.

So I’ve previously alluded to how you can spot your shadow is at work. But let’s go into a little more detail.

The first way of discovering why your shadow is at play is to observe very closely whenever you have a particularly visceral or extreme response to certain people or situations, those very strong, angry, resistant reactions are usually pointing us right directly towards our own shadows and can be a genuine gift. Pay attention to the kinds of things that people say or do that trigger a strong emotional reaction. And if you’ve watched my video on Quick and Dirty Alchemy, you’ll know that emotional triggers, painful emotions are actually a genuine gift for growing our personal power.

And we can actually come to love and appreciate being triggered as it is a route to transformation. Earlier in this video, I spoke about repeating patterns in our life, never being able to earn more than a particular amount or repeatedly ending up with shiftless and unsuitable romantic partners. That is another clear indication that the shadow is at work. And another way to find out where your shadow is, is to simply ask yourself. Take a lovely bath, enjoy a meditation journal, and ask yourself, what parts of myself do I dislike or judge or fear. Any part of you that you do not accept, any part of you that you do not love wholeheartedly, that is the shadow.

So once we’ve identified even just one aspect of our shadow, that is enough to get started on the very important work that is known as shadow integration. And the goal of shadow integration is to gradually encourage our shadow by means of letting that previously unloved, unaccepted, rejected, shunned, feared part of ourselves to come forward into the light and to release a little bit of its control over our circumstances and our fate.

The more things about ourselves we don’t love, the more control the shadow has. Which is why the work of self love, self parenting, inner child work and shadow integration is so very important because it gives us back control, gives our conscious minds back control of our lives. This work is about self love. It is imperative that you find a way to love the parts of yourself that you believe are unacceptable, the parts that you nag and judge and criticize yourself for.

I’m going to give you some methods for this in just a moment, but be vigilant about self judgement. When I was emerging from a long and torturous period of depression and anxiety, I remember reflecting upon how easy it was for me to love my children unconditionally. But somehow I couldn’t seem to muster the same grace towards myself. So I made a conscious decision. I decided to talk to myself the same way I would speak to a distressed or frustrated toddler, with love, compassion, patience and support.

Judging, criticizing, telling off or nagging your shadow only makes it stronger. And as an adjunct to that observation about treating our shadow like a toddler who we love and are responsible for, is to consider personification: to imagine your shadow as a distinct entity who has very different desires to you, but who is masterful at manifesting conditions that fulfil her desire to experience pain, frustration, struggle and so on.

Of course, there are some wonderful methods of approaching this work, including journeying with plant medicine, psychotherapy, past life regression, therapeutic hypnosis and and many more. And you can make a start by examining your childhood and making self inquiry into what aspects of your personality, what aspects of you were judged as being not acceptable to your parents. And that will give you a pretty good starting point. From my own experience, the work of Byron Katie, in conjunction with the concept of radical self acceptance, was absolutely key to recovery from severe depression and anxiety. And later on, I added in the work of Carolyn Elliott from her book, Existential Kink, and that was pivotal in learning to reframe pain as pleasure. If you are already well versed in shadow integration techniques and are looking for a shortcut when pain arises, do check out the video I previously mentioned on Quick and Dirty Alchemy.

But this is not for those making a first foray into shadow work. Remember to please that for every negative in the shadow there is a huge positive and doing this work enables us to remember and reintegrate the gifts into our lives, the gifts that came as part and parcel of the parts we were taught to reject. So perhaps you came from a family where it was frowned upon to be seen as talented, so you repressed your wild vivaciousness and creativity.

And once you beam love and acceptance on the part of you that believes you need to stay small and mean, the talents you have been hiding, then have full permission to shine. And you can answer the question, if I wasn’t scared, how would I spend my time and move forward despite the fear? And please refer to my last lesson on confidence and personal power to allow that to begin to beautifully unfold. My beloved souls, I truly hope this little lesson has helped you on your path to unstoppable magical power.

I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the world, now that your shadow knows that it is accepted, adored and admired. Thank you so much for watching. Please remember to subscribe for more life changing lessons. I love you and I will see you next time.

If you ever experience a lack of self confidence, I’ve got magick to share that will make feats that seem inconceivable today, entirely possible tomorrow.

My name is Anna Bellissima, I am an extremely powerful magician, as (of course) are you, and I am here to awaken you to your magical power.

But before we get going, a tip: if you are a very intelligent person with a minuscule attention span, like me, adjust the playback of this lesson to 1.25 speed : it helps me greatly to absorb attention even when I am feeling scattered.

The information I share on this channel can genuinely change your life to an overall experience of joy and bliss instead of suffering. So it would therefore be sensible to subscribe, and click the little picture of a bell, so you never miss a class.

I received a question: Anna, how can I boost my self confidence once and for all?

This is a topic that plagues so many people: lack of confidence can hold us back in all areas of our life, from building a career to building fulfilling relationships. And so finding a way to solve this problem is vitally important, so that you can pursue your desires, dreams and ambitions. And pursuing our desires is a very sacred calling – and don’t you dare let anyone try to convince you otherwise.

Before we progress to the magic, let’s first properly understand what we are speaking about. Lack of self-confidence, is actually just fear, dressed up prettily so that we don’t have to acknowledge the brutal truth. All those things we’re not doing – is because we’re afraid. So lack of self-confidence is not a personality trait, it is a human trait. We all experience fear.

And self-confidence, as you know when you feel it, is the deep belief in your abilities and skills, and the embracing of the quirks and differences that make you so adorably you. Someone who is very self-confident exudes a kind of natural power, and that is part of what needs to be unpicked, because very often among sensitive, spiritual and soulful people, power has something of a bad reputation. So people will prefer to stay lacking confidence, rather than be accused of being power hungry or arrogant – as if that were a terrible thing.

So if you feel uncomfortable being powerful, that is definitely something you will need to explore before being able to consistently move past your fear. Moving past fear – or bravery, in other words, IS an act of personal power, so you won’t be able to do this unless you are ok with experiencing yourself that way – and of course, you need to embrace the concept of your personal power in order to fulfil your soul’s mission on earth.

As an example of bravery, I vulnerably share this story. Typically, when I am preparing to record one of these videos, my inner critic – holder of the vessel called ‘fear’ – berates me. ‘You look like a clown! You look like a fucking clown! Everyone is laughing at you!’ Oh beloved, I respond. Thank you so much protecting me and keeping me from harm. but really, I am ok. I don’t mind too much if people laugh. I like my make up like this. I’m going to be ok.

This is to illustrate that despite all this – I do not experience myself as confident. I experience myself as brave.

For practical and actionable advice: the first suggestion I would make is to work with your deities. If you are into planetary magic, as I am, making a petition to Mercury for confidence in matters of business and communication; to Venus in matters of love and relationships; to Jupiter in matters of money, Mars for confidence in competition and Saturn for confidence holding boundaries and feelings of safety, for example, will all serve you well.

If you have an interest in the energy centres of the body, called the chakras in Eastern traditions, then finding a meditation and embodiment practices specifically to heal the root chakra and is recommended for giving a feeling of security.

And another extremely powerful practice for developing your confidence is affirmations. If you watched my previous video on the subject you’ll know that I personally prefer really good questions, so I suggest consistently and repeatedly asking yourself something like : “how did I become so confident?” “how did I unlock such courage and power?” ask yourself the questions, and when the hint of an answer pops into your thoughts, follow it with the tenacity of a hound on a scent.

But remember this vital point: magic requires a mundane means of manifestation. In other words, you need to also DO THINGS that will enable your self-confidence to grow. Which means, I am sorry to tell you, challenging your fears.

Unfortunately, confidence, in my experience, FOLLOWS action, not the other way round, and confidence grows by repeatedly doing scary things and discovering that, in fact, ‘the worst case scenario’ very rarely happens and, if it does, we are able to alchemise that pain – that rejection, humiliation, the negative feedback or troll comments – into power (and you’ll see more about that in my lesson on Quick and Dirty alchemy which is invaluable to this subejct).

The work required in order to be able to do these scary things is to consistently question and reframe the stories we tell ourselves, and recognise that the fear itself is a construct of our own imagination. We have IMAGINED ourselves into a state of trembling paralysis. Once we recognise this, we can of course imagine ourselves into a different and more empowered state.

Developing self-confidence and personal power is very much a practice and NOT, I am afraid, something that is ‘done’ once and for all. My experience has been that by making a point of doing something terrifying, and then noting the results, the stories I tell myself about the dangers of risking criticism, negative feedback or ridicule, loosen their grip and my capacity for doing more ‘scary’ things expands.

When the Universe puts a frightening step in your path, and you take it, your guidance becomes clearer, intuition stronger, your personal power increases and the rewards from the Universe are greater – Your Holy Guardian Angel WANTS to see you challenge your fears.

Beautiful soul, I truly hope this little lesson has helped you on your step to serene self-confidence and expanded personal power. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the world, now that you no longer allow fear to hold you back.

Thanks so much for watching, please remember to subscribe for more life-changing lessons, I love you, and I will see you next time.

I mean, bliss, ease and joy are cool and everything, but have you ever tried a delicious hot dose of despair? I’m about to give you a delectable and sensuous way to be with misery.

Hello, my name is Anna Bellissima. I am an extremely powerful magician, as of course are you and it may not surprise you to learn that I have over the years received at least my fair share of psychiatric diagnosis and treatments, including medications, therapies and even electroconvulsive therapy. Apparently, they couldn’t burn this witch.

After I decided to stop thinking of my moods or personality as being in any way disordered, I began instead considering myself to be beautiful, powerful and whole. And coincidentally, I began to become beautiful, powerful and whole. All of this is to explain that my shadow loves to crawl-splash through the murky waters of anxiety, despair, helplessness, shame and rage.

Thankfully, these days it is almost always a fleeting visit. But I have learned a thing or two about surviving these periods. In my experience, these practices help by changing our response to what we’re going through. In the words of Byron Katie, ‘We only suffer when we argue with reality.’

So here is my recipe, in case of emergency. One, rename what is going on. This is not a low mood or a funk or an existential crisis. Call it an integration. Drink a glass of water because it never hurts to do so and add a flower essence or clove tincture if they are to hand.

In a hot, comforting alchemical bath, invite your sadness to come forward and play. Meet them as you would your favorite child or pet completely willing to be with them without trying to change or judge only love contact a confidant. It will help you and them.

Give yourself some self touch, followed by some gentle magical practices like lighting the candles and incense on your altar, drawing a tarot card. Hypersigiling from a better place next week. Draw a glyph of your deity on your body, give yourself nourishing food and tuck itself into bed for an early night.

Fall asleep in conversation with your dream genius with a clear request for sexy dreams about your holy guardian angel with a rakish smile, enchanted to watch you squirm and suffer. I hope you will save this video so that you can use it next time you experience a crisis of despair. If you enjoyed it, please subscribe to this channel and have a look in the description below where I will link the practices I mentioned today.

I send you my love. Thank you for being here with me and I will see you next time.

If you ever find yourself trapped in circular thoughts, stewing, trying to solve problems that seem intractable, I’m about to offer you a solution that works so well, I believe it is actually magic.

Hello, my name is Anna Bellissima I am an extremely powerful magician, as, of course, are you. And in a moment, I’m going to give you the specific method for untangling the tangliest of conundrums without breaking your brain. But first, let’s have a look inside that beautiful head of yours. Now, of course, our minds are infinitely wondrous and perform almost unimaginable feats of intellect on a daily basis. Personally, I would not wish to be without one, but I have noticed that sometimes, like a piece of software glitching, they become stuck in a loop, replaying a particular question over and over again, overheating as they grind away to discover a solution and provide us with an answer.

It can be quite distracting while you are at the beach intending to enjoy the sea air, the delicious breeze, the game of Frisbee with your loved ones, the sensation of sand between your toes and in your picnic, your sweet, diligent mind keeps interrupting your experience. An error message, a well-meaning error message popping up every two minutes to say, This is lovely, but the car was making a funny noise. How are you going to pay for the repairs? And more often than not, there is no immediate or simple solution.

And if there were, it wouldn’t be interrupting your day at the seaside. So instead of trying to think your way to an answer, try thinking a better question, because one of the fundamental things that our thinking brain has wrong is believing that it is its responsibility to come up with a solution when in fact the best solutions come from the part of our mind that has nothing to do with thinking at all. Now, I do appreciate that thinking about thinking can be rather tricksy.

So let me give you a concrete example. So you are self-employed and times are hard as they are for everybody at some stage setting up in business now pondering questions like should I launch a new product? Should I hold a flash sale? Should I see if I can get a part time job? Should I invest in more business advice or less? is wonderful. If you can give yourself a quick answer that feels good and is actionable, but there is no correct answer to these questions, so you may well find yourself ruminating, in which case I invite you to ask instead a very different type of question, which is actually extremely related to the practice of writing a hypersigil which which we explored in an earlier episode of Practical Magic.

The exercise is this: cast your mind forward just a little way into the future. And from that perspective, ask, Wow, when did business become so easy for me? Where did all these perfect customers come from? How did I become so confident and when did I become so lucky? Asking the right questions is what gives you the right answers. Be sure to include key words for how you want this to feel.

Easy, perfect, creative, confident, lucky. Then shrug your shoulders, shake your head in wonder at all your good fortune and let your brain chew over these delightful questions until at some point in the next few hours or the next couple of days, it will deliver you a part of the answer, a thread you can follow. And as you keep on mulling over those delightful questions about how everything worked out so easily and so, so beautifully for you, your unconscious mind will drip feed you – will drip feed your consciousness – with each next step in turn.

I would love to know how your thinking mind responds to this. So leave me a comment and don’t forget to explore the rest of my channel, particularly the very relevant lesson on hypotheticals I mentioned, which I will link in the description. Thank you so much for being here with me today and I look forward to seeing you next time. Bye bye.

If you are interested in shaping reality through the use of magic, you will want to learn about these weird and witchy symbols called sigils.

My name is Anna Bellissima. I’m an extremely powerful magician, as of course are you, and i’m going to talk you through the exact steps to make and use these shapes in your magic.

But first, I want you to really understand that magic is not a belief system. It is a technology. It evolves through hypothesis, experiment, and meticulous note taking, so you do not need to believe in magic in order to try this out. You just need to be able to suspend your disbelief for long enough to earnestly perform your magic, and then stay open and curious about whatever happens next. Magic always yields results and they are always unexpected.

So these shapes are called sigils and each one represents a phrase that affirms the reality that you are creating with your magic. They are symbols that are filled with the energy of our desire, and we fill them with that energy through our attention, intention, and psychic energy. Personally, I have used sigils to entirely reinvent myself, to unlock ridiculous levels of self-expression, to find myself deeply embedded in a wonderfully supported community, to build a business I love, to find marketing easy and fun, to manifest income goals and an actual pony.

There is really no limit to what you can create and this is the four-step process of creation which i will talk you through in more detail. Define your desire: number one. Number two: create the sigil number. Three: charge the sigil. And finally, become unattached to the outcome of your magic. There is also a very cool hack which I’m going to talk to you about which will boost the power of all your sigils. And i will come to that right after I’ve made a sigil with you.

There are a few different methods of sigil creation, and you can even find websites that will automatically generate sigils for you, but this is the method I learned and the one I always use. Hit Pause now while you grab a pencil and paper and write down your desire across the top of the page.

Make sure it is phrased in the positive – no negative language – and that there is a mundane means to manifestation. So if you’re after a new job make sure that you are actually applying for jobs. Refine and rephrase your affirmation as many times as you need to. Listen to yourself say it out loud and then when you’re happy with it, write it out in capital letters.

And I am working with, ‘Every day is a good hair day.’

So the first thing you need to do is cross out all the vowels. People always ask about the letter Y, I say leave it in. People always ask about numbers and currency symbols, and I would also leave those in two, but I do caution against money magic as your very first spell. Money magic tends to be done with a lot of watching and waiting energy, which tends to just lead to more watching and waiting. So I’m going to cross out all of the vowels in my phrase and here is what i’m left with.

Next we’re going to cross out all duplicate consonants, so the letters that you will have left, you just want one representative of each letter remaining. So I have one V one R one Y D S G H and the consonants I am left with are: V R Y D G H. The next thing we’re going to do is sort of squash the elements of these letters together to create a nice weird-looking symbol. You might need to cross out your workings and start again. You can take as long as you wish over this process. The only outcome is to be left with a symbol that might look creepy if you found it scratched on the wall of an abandoned building.

So i’m going to make mine now.

This is why I suggest you take much longer, but this is the sigil that i have created from my consonants. Once you’re happy with your sigil, draw it in pen on some good paper, and cut it out so you have a nice little talisman, like these ones, that can live on your altar.

Now, the symbol you’ve just made is not up to full power yet. It needs to be charged. But before i get to that part, I’m going to give you the hack i mentioned that makes this process way more powerful. And that is to create several sigils which all support one central desire. I read about this on Gordon White’s blog, Rune Soup. It works really well and he explained the concept as being like a shoal of fish. So when one moves, the whole shoal moves. If for example, you wanted to meet a new romantic partner, you could make a sigil for meeting funny and creative people; that every day is a good hair day; that i feel confident and attractive, and so on.

So by all means, save this video, make your whole shoal of sigils, and then come back here to learn how to put them to work.

Once you have made your shoal of sigils, leave them on an altar until such time as you are ready to charge them. Now, the idea is to gaze upon the sigils when your mind is empty of all other thoughts, which anyone who has tried to meditate will tell you is far easier said than done. One option for creating an empty mind is fear, so you could take your sigils on a roller coaster, or to watch a horror movie. Physical exhaustion is another thing that can cause an empty mind; sexual climax is a very popular way of charging your sigils, or you can use a trick of magical consciousness where you will create a magical atmosphere with candles, incense, meditation and so on, and then use the power of your imagination to kind of trick yourself into the deep belief that you are dreaming; that you are the dreamer of the dream.

And you are at a slight advantage here if you’ve tried psychedelic drugs or experienced episodes of mania, but this is not beyond anybody with an imagination. Just work at it until you feel an energetic shift, a sense of high strangeness, and then stare at your sigils one by one in the candlelight until they seem to quiver and almost take on their own consciousness, and you will have the thought, ‘Oh shit, I’ve really done it. I’ve created an inevitable reality. I have made magic.’

Then leave your sigils on your altar, or pin them somewhere where you will glance at them each day, and then ground yourself back to reality with a barefoot walk, hugging a tree, drinking some water, eating something.

And remember to release your sigils with deep gratitude, and set them on fire on a full moon when you notice that they are doing their work and the magic is incoming. As with all topics of magic, there is much nuance and depth and much to discuss around sigils, but I hope you have found this very brief introduction helpful.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and do explore my channel for related topics, like one on creating an altar for your sigils to sit on. Thank you so much for being here with me today i look forward to seeing you next time.

If you’re on a quest to experience a magical life, you need to understand signs, omens and synchronicities.

My name is Anna Bellissima. I am an extremely powerful magician, as of course, are you. And, do you want to listen? If you are a very intelligent person with a short attention span like me, adjust the playback of this lesson to one point two five speed. You will get all the information in less time. And this helps me immensely when I am in the mercury current.

Now, as an announcement, the information I share on this channel can change your life to an overall experience of joy and bliss instead of suffering. So it would therefore be sensible to subscribe and click the little picture of a bell, so you get to learn it all.

So to the subject at hand, signs, omens and synchronicities in other words, the fundamentals of augury, which is the practice of reading and making sense of portents. I’m going to share with you some ways to attract and respond to these nods from the universe. But first, some foundational understanding. Let’s define our terms and look at some examples.

As far as I can tell, from my extensive reading, the difference between a sign and an omen is far too subtle to be of much interest to me. Although I do note that omen is more frequently used as an indicator of a negative event.

However, a sign is an object quality event or entity whose presence indicates the presence of something else, an object, quality, event or entity whose presence indicates the presence of something else. It is something that indicates something else. And of course, whether the something else it indicates is desired or feared by you is somewhat beside the point. Some signs you will know, such as the white feather indicating the presence of a departed loved one, or breaking a mirror starting a run of bad luck. And these are more or less culturally accepted, while others are very personal to the individual. If you don’t already have a suite of signs that you recognize immediately as your wink from the great mystery, then I advise you to take a moment or two now to decide on one or two. These would be something that you don’t see all the time, like, for example, a black car. But that does have a mundane means of manifestation in your typical environment. So, for example, some of my signs are white horses, biplanes, vintage sports cars, foxes and pink ribbons.

Synchronicities are rather similar, but more elaborate. Carl Jung, the psychologist and psychiatrist who gave us analytical psychology and the concept of the shadow, developed the principle of synchronicity in the nineteen sixties to describe the occurrence of circumstances or events that appear meaningfully related but where no causal connection is apparent; events or situations that appear related, but where there is no causal connection, the only thing they have in common is their meaning. So the simplest example of synchronicity is when you think of your Aunt Daphne just moments before the telephone rings.

But you may have experienced the more baroque and intricate stories that unfold when we respond to these synchronicities in a kind of dance. About six months ago, I gave a three card tarot reading to a lady I had known for a few years on the Internet but never met in person. I don’t think she gave me a question for the reading, but the message that came through for her was unequivocal. The great mystery is calling you: purchase some incense, start meditating and listen to your intuition.

About three weeks later, about three weeks after the reading, I woke up in bed from a very insistent dream that had just one word for me. Augur: A U G U R.. So I woke up and of course looked up the definition and read this. And Augur was a priest in classical Rome whose main role was the practice of augury, interpreting the will of the gods by studying the behavior of birds.

Later the same day, I received a message from my tarot client who wanted me to know, and I quote, “I’ve been burning nag champa and there’s a crow eating out of my hand. I feel like the universe is speaking.” So far, so wild. Right? So I took this story because this kind of story delights me to my magical community. And much later that evening, I logged on and saw this, “Anna, the most beautiful thing just happened. I am planning a spell. I need to buy soil from the spirit at the local crossroads.

This morning, I read a couple of posts here, including yours. Which I pondered on for a moment and I decided to go look for a crossroads to trade what I need from the spirits. After wandering and making a couple of wrong stops, I sat down in the park feeling defeated. In that moment, I remembered a crossroads near my place, beautiful classical architecture and massive trees. I went there and asked the spirit if it was OK to take some soil. I was standing there thinking, How will I know if the answer is real or if it’s just my imagination? Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw a huge flock of pigeons pecking on the ground. And then I looked across the street and saw this beautiful facade of a building and between sculptures of angels, a huge engraved sign read augury and big golden capital letters. How did this sign appear right now? And not once did I notice it before? Of course I had my answer.”

So why does synchronicity happen and how can we engage in a dance with it? The purpose of synchronicity is to take us out of our ordinary state of consciousness; an ordinary state of consciousness being rolled out of bed, get to work, go to the supermarket and complain about the sore hip and the need to pay taxes. A sign or synchronicity is a nudge, a bell, a surprise that jolts us out of this very compelling but limiting reality. And it jolts our conscious awareness into a state of wow, whoa, the remembrance that there is far more at work and at play in the universe than we can immediately see and hear around us. A sign or synchronicity teases us to loosen our grip on reality, which inevitably involves suffering. And in that state, we feel awareness expand. We sense our connection to everything else in the universe.

Synchronicities deliver one of two gifts. Either they are providing you guidance or counsel, pointing you turn it to the next step on your path. So that would be something like meeting an old friend in a coffee shop who can set up an introduction which leads to an opportunity. Or they are delivering to you a personal acknowledgement, a wink from the universe to confirm your power and your magic. So if, for example, you are somebody who frequently sees repeated number sequences, when you look at a digital clock, that’s the purpose of those kind of synchronicities. The universe is telling you your intuition is strong. Now go out and learn a new way to play this game.

Now, as seems to be true with almost everything I speak about, the trick to creating more synchronicity is to be deliberate, earnest and diligent in your commitment to experiencing more synchronicity. That means paying attention to what is happening around you rather than dwelling in your thoughts. The moment you decide to experience more synchronicity, more synchronicity rolls in. And the more you demonstrate your commitment to seeing, experiencing and responding to synchronicity, the more powerful the flow. And you can demonstrate this through performing ceremonial magic or daily ritual or through of the spiritual practices like meditation, creating a hypersigil, drawing tarot cards, interpreting dreams and so on.

But of course, this cannot be forced. This is our old friend Attachment to Outcome. And the easiest way to address that particular vice is through my quick and dirty alchemy protocol, which I will link for you below. If a synchronicity has shown up to give you a wink and acknowledgment of your power, the way to respond is simply to breathe it in, bask in it, thank the universe and accept the sign as a confirmation of your part in the dance of creation.

You can even decide right now that every synchronicity you experience gives you a kind of energetic upgrade and you permanently expand your awareness and boost your creative battery. If, on the other hand, a synchronicity is showing you towards your path and you will need to exercise discernment in deciding what synchronicity or sign is fulfilling what purpose for you right now, then the course of action is slightly different. You need to acknowledge your gratitude to the universe for the clear signpost.

Isn’t that what you’ve been asking for? Show me a sign, O Lord. And yes, you do have to follow through with action. Ignore these synchronicities at your peril. Not that any danger will befall you, but if you ask for synchronicity. Or miracles or guidance, and you get them. Well, you have an obligation to keep your side of the bargain and I very much hope that you do, because that’s how one finds oneself wearing antlers on YouTube. You must follow the path and you don’t have to know where it’s taking you, as my beloved Saint Augustine said, “Salvatore ambulando.” By walking, it is solved.

In other words, we find out where we’re going by going. Yes, it will be scary. The unknown always is. But please know that although action is compulsory, you do not have to take action immediately in a rushed way or without due consideration. So when a path is given, I invite you to sit with it and let it percolate through your body, your emotional field and your thoughts for a few days.

And in the meantime, while you’re looking out for other synchronicities and signs, you can ask your dreams, your intuition, the universe for more confirmation, more reassurance, and you will receive further guidance to clarify and confirm the details of what you need to do so that you can move forward when you are not activated by fear.

I would love to hear from you about the synchronicities that you’ve experienced. Thank you so much for being here with me today. And I will see you next time. Bye bye.

If you are a soul incarnated in a human body and if you desire things you may wish to try your hand at magic. I’m about to tell you one of the most potent spells I know.

Hello my name is Anna Bellissima. I am an extremely powerful magician as of course are you and in a moment I’m going to tell you exactly how to perform this magic word spell. But first let’s define some terms. Magic is the causation of synchronicity. It is the active participation in the creation of synchronicity and synchronicity is the occurrence of two or more events which appear to be unrelated in cause but which share an undeniable resonant meaning. So magic therefore is the business of making synchronicities happen. It is participating and molding change rather than resisting it. It is a new way of playing the game of limitation.

And today we’re talking about a couple of technologies you can use for more effective molding of reality. Things of course are always working out perfectly for you but this is about owning your desires and changing the rules of the game of limitation. Now if you watched my first video on this channel you will have seen me talking about sigils and you will be familiar with that which is one of my favorite technologies. But in that video I also briefly mentioned the magical practice of hyper sigiling and I’ve had a lot of inquiries about what that is and how you do it.

Now the simplest explanation of a hyper sigil is that it is a type of journaling exercise so it’s definitely for you if you enjoy writing especially if you enjoy writing with a pen on paper. But beyond the actual writing prompts in hyper sigil is a rich dense layer of intention and magic. So if you want to try this as a practice here’s what I suggest. Plan, prepare and perform a short ceremony of your own design to consecrate your tools, your journal and your pen. Decide that your journal and your pen are a mythic conjoining. Two parts creating a spirit channel between your incarnate soul and the field where reality is created. Make an altar to your journal and pen and keep them on it when you are not feeding them with offerings of your words and wishes. And write in your journal every day describing the events you desire as if they have already come to pass.

So this evening we took the new car out for a spin around the countryside with the top down while the Sun was setting. For such an old old car she is in spectacular condition and such fun to drive. Everyone smiles when they see her. The weather was perfect and just as we arrived home we saw an owl taking off in flight over the ponies field. Now that is not how I recall yesterday’s events but that’s an example of the kind of thing you will be writing as your hyper sigil. Keep your altar clean and tidy, keep feeding your journal with your offerings and let me know exactly what happens.

Right now I am in the middle of writing a 21-day hyper sigil quest, an extended word spell to get you deep into this practice including all of the juicy and delicious flourishes I’ve learned and now include in my practice. If you’re interested I will leave more details in the description below.

I hope you’ve enjoyed watching this video. Please explore my channel for others and remember if you subscribe you’ll get notified when I post something new. Thank you for being here with me.

If you ever set intentions, cast spells, manifest magic or in any other ways deliberately engineer reality, your workings will be vastly amplified by cultivating an attitude of non-attachment to outcome. And i’m going to tell you how to do that.

Hello, I’m Anna Bellissima. I am an extremely powerful magician, as of course are you, and today I’m answering the question: what is non-attachment to outcome, and how do I cultivate it? An excellent question. And the predictable but also thrilling answer is that you do it through shadow integration. I’m going to give you my 3 step, brutally effective, shadow integration process to become unattached, open and surrendered to the universe. A vital ingredient in magical workings, and in living a joyful and creative life.

But first some background. Just for fun, imagine that you are an all-powerful deity. You can create and destroy galaxies with a snap of your fingers. You can assume any physical or metaphysical form you desire, from a clamshell to a fertility god. Nothing can or could ever oppose you. And to break the monotony of endless bliss, you chose to play a game. And as soon as you decided to play, you were incarnated as a human soul in a sweet little baby’s body, and you began to learn through experience, and through explicit teachings from parents and from the culture, what it means to feel limited.

In fact, that’s the name of the game: limitation. And ever since you got here, you’ve also been taught that certain sensations, physical or emotional, cause you suffering and must be avoided at all costs. Nothing in this game is real. Every object, environment, situation you encounter, is created by the game running in your consciousness to give the seamless illusion of limitation. And every intelligence you interact with, every person, animal, plant, deity, reflects some facet of the game of limitation, or they give you a message that you need in order to progress. And then one day – today – you receive a message in the game that gives you a new way to play. And the message is this: pain hides power.

Yes, like finding hidden treasure in a story-based adventure game, you can consciously and deliberately seek out spots of pain, execute a quick and easy process, and instead of suffering, you receive a huge boost of power, by which I mean, magic, creativity, joy, fulfilment, freedom. Wouldn’t that change the way you play the game of limitation? Instead of shying away from painful situations and desperately trying to control outcomes to go in your favour, instead you’d get a hit of excitement when bad feelings come up, in anticipation of the incoming bliss. And even better if the process itself is quick, dirty, and fun. No more suffering. Only either pleasure, or alchemy.

And then we go beyond resilience, or just bouncing back, into becoming beings who are actually anti-fragile, who become stronger through challenge, and not by toughening up, but by deepening into love and into our role as divine creators. It is a very big promise. And nevertheless, I invite you to experiment with this thought for at least the next two weeks.

So here in full is your hack for the game of limitation.

Important note: this process is not suitable if you are deep in depression, anxiety, disassociation, or grief; nor if you are in a state of active trauma. If that’s you, I want you to go and look up some tapping with Brad Yates or Byron Katie. Don’t do this work now, please. You are responsible for your own well-being.

Now that those cats have gone: this process has six steps but in a push, or in public, if you’re trying to do it in the moment, and you have no time, just use steps three to five. Ready?

Here we go: number one: when you notice discomfort of any kind, and you don’t need to be able to name the emotion or sensation, take yourself to a quiet space where you can sit or stand with your back against a wall. Hug something, a pillow, a bag, or a coat to your chest, or just cross your arms in front of yourself and hug yourself. Two: look around the space and notice that you are safe. Breathe calmly, then return your attention to your body. These are the vital steps of the process.

Number three: allow your discomfort to be felt. Let it build. Using your imagination, amplify the sensation so that you feel it even more. More sadness, more fear, more shame, more resentment, whatever it is, and remember you don’t have to name it. When the energy is at a peak say this out loud: I am not afraid of the dark. I created this illusion. My will is done and I reclaim my power. Feel the energy in your body continue to grow and move, and vividly imagine it transmuting from pain into power, health, vitality, magic, manifestation, energy, creativity, freedom, love, joy. Maintain that feeling. Step six: maintain that feeling for as long as you can and repeat every time you discover a new bad feeling.

In an emergency, you can perform steps four to six only and say step five silently to yourself if you are in a public place and don’t wish to draw attention. You will find that many of these emotions and situations require this process to be repeated numerous times before the illusion of limitation is completely dispelled. At other times, the relief is immediate and permanent.

Learning about ourselves as the creators of reality is not without challenges. And once we start to play the game of limitation in a new way, weird shit starts to happen: unexpected results, ridiculous synchronicities, and just reality seeming to twist and dissolve and reform. It can be quite tiring. It is an exhilarating ride, so be sure to be unequivocally on your own side with exceptional and exquisite self-care.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this little class. Please check out my recent videos on tarot and on dreamwork, and if you subscribe, you will never miss an episode. Thank you for joining me.

If you decide to engage the support of magic in your various life endeavours, you will soon be called upon to create an altar. In fact, why not create the altar before you are called upon to do so, to demonstrate your eagerness to learn and your openness to experience?

I preface everything I’m about to say with the injunction that there is no prescription for the perfect altar and you can’t really do it wrong. It doesn’t matter where you put it, spirits will turn up there because you intend them to. If you don’t have the right altar cloth, use a tray or a piece of paper, you can make an altar from a tree stump and a stone. Spirits will meet you there because you intend it.

The first thing to do is to select a place for your altar. It can be a discreet corner of a bookshelf, the top of a dresser, it can be in a public area of your home or somewhere just for you. It can be permanent or temporary and when you’ve decided on your space, then clean and tidy the area unless you’re creating an altar somewhere like a deconsecrated derelict church, an abandoned warehouse or a tree stump in the woods, in which case embrace the aesthetic. You can follow that with a smoke cleanse with herbs like muggle, lavender, rosemary or sage. And if you dislike smoke, you can buy metaphysical cleaning sprays or you can even just use sound like chiming a bell or clapping your hands loudly to move stagnant energy.

Place a cloth to demarcate the area as sacred. You can use a cloth in a colour that corresponds with your desires for the altar or the deity you’re working with or use a tray or even a piece of coloured paper. I’m using a vintage designer scarf because it corresponds with my intentions for this altar.

Then it’s time to start placing your accoutrements. For a permanent altar, I pass each one through frankincense smoke and utter a silent prayer to the smoke to purify and consecrate them. The most basic altar can just hold a candle preferably again in the corresponding color, a stick of incense and a glass of water. Beyond that, you can add effigies, amulets and talismans, pictures, statues, tarot cards, your handwritten petition, photos of past loved ones who had a particular skill or attitude that you wish to invoke, crystals, food and drink, fresh flowers. Feel free to add new items every day or as often as you choose. For example, you could add a white feather that falls into your path or a beautiful leaf or petal or any small items you come across that strike you as sacred.

I also store some of my magical paraphernalia on my altars. For example, I have some very sacred anointing oil and incenses which demand to be kept in a holy place and likewise I keep my meditation mala on my altar.

Once your altar is built, perform a brief consecration. You could recite the Orphic hymn or a poem of your own to a particular spirit or deity or simply a few minutes of meditation followed by the spoken heartfelt wish that your devotions be heard.
