Merangels

Have you ever felt more than just a mermaid or avian human? Do you feel a deep longing for the ocean or a rush for the sky? If so, you may just be a merangel.

Crossbreeds aren't very popular but do exist. Merangels are mysterious, charming, and light-hearted. They can explore the deepest parts of the ocean and also see the world from high above. If you are one of these creatures, you must be a special soul.

Becoming one is as simple as becoming an avian human, which isn't too easy, but it's overall the same concept. Wish, believe, dream, and know.

Though I'm not interested in becoming a merangel, I have dabbled in writing a chant. It would be best for you to choose your own path and create your own magic, however my chant can help give you inspiration for writing a spell.


"Spirits of sky and sea,
Grant me great lung capacity to breathe,
Whether high above or deep below,
Freely my body shall flow,
Fins to swim and wings to soar,
So I may return far from shore,
With sight and heart to see all no matter where I roam,
Thy wings and tail shall make it home.
This is my cry, this is my plea,
In the name of the Goddess and God So may it be!"

Ofuda & Omamori Making

I sometimes get confused with ofuda and omamori, but ofudas are talismans to protect and benefit the whole family. While this is still something necessary when you become an avian, omamori is the amulet you need for your personal desires.

I will instruct how to create the talismans themselves and how to invoke the power. As for making the omamori case, Ynao's Otaku Blog shows how to.

Allow me to simply mention that it is by Shinto tradition to purchase the amulet and that you cannot make your own. I personally believe however that when you create it with your personal intentions, you empower it more.

*Materials:

1. Paper, wood, or metal. You can choose any material that you feel a connection with. Note: The selected material will be burned in a year. Make sure it is nothing precious or important.
2. A candle
3. Incense (Best to use for wing growth: Frankincense, Sandalwood, Anise (star), Champa, Ginger, Lavender, Myrrh, Peppermint (highly recommend), Vanilla)
4. Filbert paint brush or thick marker
5. (Optional) Paint (any color, preferably black) or ink
6. A quiet room

*Instructions:

Note: This ritual is best done during the following times: New Year's Eve, tween times (midnight, dusk, dawn), or sabbats.

1. In a quiet room where you will be undisturbed, crack open a window and door
2. Light the incense then candle
3. Bow twice to the setup candle and incense, then clap twice, finally bow once more
4. Seat yourself before the candle and incense with your material and writing utensils
5. Have a chosen deity or spirit. There can be more than one you call upon to grant power to the amulet. For mine, I am requesting the Goddess Inari, a personal kitsune messenger of hers, Nei, and an air spirit, Topanga.
6. You can write whatever you feel necessary on the paper (symbol, prayer, anything that represents your intentions). It is best to write it out in Japanese. I found the following Kanji that could be used to write "wing growth": 成 (grow, become) 翎 (feather, plume, wing). Visit Denshi Jisho to find more kanji. You must also write the name of your chosen deity/deities and/or spirit(s).
7. Say a prayer, voicing your request to the deity or spirit
8. Pass the talisman three times through the flame of the candle
9. Then pass the talisman through the smoke of the incense three times
10. While passing it through these two, imagine their energy entering in and a white light growing around it. Also envision what you wish to gain from the talisman.
11. Chant any words which you feel grant power all while doing this
12. Now place the talisman in front of you and meditate. Spend as much time as you need to call upon the power. Allow your own energy to flow freely into the talisman.
13. Once done meditating, say a final prayer or mantra
14. End with a powerful word
15. Stand up and bow twice, clap twice, and bow once more
16. Now if this is an omamori, put it in its case. If it is an ofuda, place it in a Kamidana, or any place of your choosing. You may carry the omamori around with you, hang it on a bag or anything really.
17. Give daily thanks to the talisman

Good luck on your wing growth and blessed be ^^

The Thinned Veil

Happy Halloween! Merry Samhain!

Today is my favorite holiday; I can hardly wait for night to cloak our town. Hopefully it will be a clear, cool night.

The best part about this holiday is the thinning of the veil. It is believed that between sunset of October 31st and sunrise of November 1st, the veil between the spirit world and our word is thin. For this we must light jack-o-lanterns to keep away evil or tricky spirits.

One can take advantage of the thin veil to inform spirits of their wish in order to further their progress to success.

I created two spells for wing growth to tryout tonight. Feel free to use them, however, to strengthen their power for you it would be best to tweak them to your befitting.

~ Blessed Apple Cider:

(This is for my homemade cider, following this recipe: Homemade Apple Cider (Non-alcoholic) But I changes some aspects of the recipe to suit my desires)

Every time you check the boiling apples, chant this phrase while imagining white light flowing from the apples as stem and being an aura around each apple:

"I call upon thee air spirits abound,
Invoke yourselves through the steam around,
Blessed be these apples with light to grant me wings for flight."

While doing so, always  remember to know your intentions and keep them in mind all throughout.

Once finished, fill selected bottle, pitcher, etc. to contain the cider. After it is filled bless the cider with the incantation;

"Victoria I request thee,
Here my plead,
Grant me victory,
With wings I will be freed.

Nike I request thee,
Present to me grace,
Wings for all to see,
Growth at the necessary pace.

Isis I request thee,
Such beauty I desire for my wings,
Sprouting forth such as your Sycamore tree,
Given flight and speed and all it brings.

Shinatobe I request thee,
Lift me away on your breeze,
An avian human I wish to be,
Grant this please.

The will be embodied in this beverage,
Filling thy body with the blessings,
To give to me leverage,
By the power of three (x3),
As I will it, so may it be."

Envision your wings as you drink the cider. Note that this will not effect others who have not added their wishes to the cider.


~ Ancestor Request Prayer:

During the time between sunset and sunrise, chant with your intentions in mind:

"Those before me,
Scattered on the family tree,
Accept my change,
Allow thy body to rearrange,
Hear my plea for flight,
Above with feathers so light,
By thy descended power,
Here during this ancient hour,
A new line of winged ones,
I with wings and onward it runs,
With your blessings, now a new me,
Blessed rest, blessed be."

Grow Wings Spells

To strengthen one's power, one's grasp over their path, they must constantly send the power and wish out into the universe. The universe is not the creation of the Gods. The Gods and Goddesses are powerful, divine beings. But they are not the creators.

The creator of all has unmatched power that can destroy and create, it can break the very laws of science and the balance of the universe.

Being determined and absolutely sure that it is what you want, can create anything. The secret to making your voice heard; ask, ask, ask. NEVER STOP ASKING. Always know what you want and place your complete heart and attention into it.

Some methods of communicating with the creator include (but are not limited to):

• Expressing your desires through meditation
• Prayers with the goal in mind and word
• Spells commanding the change
• Keep dreaming your dreams and indulging in them
• Communicate what you wish for out loud
• Speak to the moon like a friend, in all her phases (full moon is ordinarily used for spells being that the moon is at its peak of power. Personally I feel an affinity with the crone phases and late maiden phases)
• Maintain a strong belief
• DO NOT lose faith in the powers of the universe
• Send positive vibes telling of your wants

Okay I'll stop rambling x) Anyhow, here are some spells I cherry-picked (Note [ugh, more rambling]: The spells are effective any way you do them, as long as you give your most mentally and spiritually. In fact, they work better for you if you don't perform them exactly how they are given. Adding something is similar to adding your own signature which directs the power even more towards you.):

1. Fly With Wings   (I was most drawn to the first spell from Maximumride13) (A prayer is on this site for Christian Avians)
2. Wing Spell (Video)
3. Spell to Grow Wings
4. Angel Spell
5. Angel Spell & Flying Tips
6. Angel Spell Before Bed
7. Another Angel Spell
8. Avian/Angel/Whatever Wings Spell

Search for your own spells, make up your own spells, mix and match items of multiple spells, anything. Just avoid remaining solely with one spell, it won't get you too far. I  am presenting these spells as a sort of reference or base for your spell. Also, study magic and develop an understanding for the way of the universe and magick. Improve your connection with nature. But most importantly, improve your connection with yourself.

Be careful with spell casting. If you are simply dabbling or trying them out for mere fun, don't. The information is for those devoted to growing wings. Having wings can be fun, but it is also quite a serious process; recognize that you are transforming yourself and it will be painful and above all difficult to reverse.
