Inner Work
Inner work empowers us. It helps us to understand ourselves, streamline our lives, and progress along our individual paths. By teaching us to awaken, recognize, and appreciate our abilities, inner work stills our doubts in ourselves. This helps us to work magick.
It is through inner work that we achieve our full potential, and spells in this chapter can help you with that.
Open Sesame Third Eye Spell
This is a joyful spell, so if you feel moved to dance, chant, whirl, or sing while casting it, by all means please do so. If you are new to magick or to psychic work, or find that your psychic abilities aren't as sharp as they once were, this is a good spell for you.
Your third eye is the center of your psychic self. Your sixth chakra, it rules every aspect of your sixth sense: intuition, insight, clairvoyance, precognition, telepathy, and all other psychic abilities. Your third eye helps you to see the unseen, and to perceive more than is possible with your ordinary senses.
Opening your third eye (or activating your sixth chakra, if you prefer that term) is an important prelude to psychic work. This includes everything from meditation, divination, visualization, scrying, crystallomancy, and fire-gazing to distance healing, past-life work, dream work, remote viewing, astral projection, and so on.
This spell may be cast at any time, but it is best cast on a moonlit night. You will need:
sandalwood incense
a purple candle
sesame oil (You can find edible sesame oil where Asian food products are sold, and scented sesame oil is sold with skin care products.)
Tiger Balm (This is a liniment that is used for headaches and muscle pain. Packaged in tiny jars, it can be found in health food shops, at some pharmacies, and in stores that sell Asian products. Tiger Balm contains ingredients that make the skin tingle, such as menthol. Its use in this spell is to make you more aware of your third eye, so you could substitute anything that will make your skin tingle, such as another commercial liniment, essential oil of peppermint, or whatever your ingenuity devises. Use anything you like, but be sure it's something that seems magickal to you and to which your skin is not allergic.)
Optional: music, ritual garb, or whatever helps you to get into a magickal mood. (You could use any music that appeals to you, but if you are fortunate enough to own a recording of the late great Egyptian diva Om Kalsoum singing Alfy Layla wa Layla
[A Thousand and One Nights], that would make an especially powerful accompaniment.)
Preparation
Some traditions consider the third eye to be located between the eyebrows, while others consider it located in the middle of the forehead. We are all different, so only you can determine the location of your third eye. If you aren't sure, get a small crystal and place it between your eyebrows. Does it tingle, in a psychic way? If not, place the crystal in the center of your forehead. How does that feel? It may take repeated tries if you are new to all of this, but you will eventually find a spot on your forehead that responds to the presence of the crystal. When you do, that is the location of your third
