When Not Belonging to a Flock

The aeroly community (including those who strive to become ones) is a minute one that appears to be growing (and shrinking) with each year. Therefore there exist many flocks, online and off, as well as many loners who cannot fit in with any of these flocks. Some of these individuals may have their own reasons for not being capable of finding or belonging to a flock, but as for the others (myself included), we just do not conform.
That's okay because we see the world differently and pioneer our own paths. However, this really causes difficulty for finding aeroly friends to rely on.

I've found that quite a few (not all of course) flock leaders whom I've encountered are cold and unwelcoming towards the ones that refuse to belong to any flock, group, or whatnot.  This frustrates me to my wits-end because these leaders can't seem to comprehend that this does not mean that this person means them harm. I understand that these leaders only want to protect their flocks, but they tend to make everything about them and their flock. This hostility towards aerolies who refuse to pledge loyalty to a flock they hardly know is ridiculous. Commitment is my greatest fear, but lack thereof does not make me unfaithful. Sounds terribly contradictive, I know. Just bear with me. So for example: I love my family (immediate and relatives) and would fight for them. But this does not mean I will pledge to ignore their faults and become a mindless follower to them. Same with flocks; flocks were meant to be families filled with strong bonds, not a military.

Non-conformists do not follow norms just because it's what everyone else likes or does. Even if a non-conformist does like an activity or way of life that happens to be popular, they do so because they want to. This is why it can be very troublesome when seeking out a flock. Flocks and their leaders expect discipline and for you to follow every order no matter how ignorant.

If you are a non-conformist but face the social pressures of aerolies online, just don't give in. If the requirements of a flock don't suit you, don't join. If you are more a leader type then try creating your own flock. If you are neither leader nor follower try to team up with like-minded people (team up, don't try creating a flock ruled by a leader, create a democracy).

Seeing Spirits, Fae, Energy, & Other Beings Not in This Realm

안녕하세요! 잘 지내세요?  Hello! Are you well?

On the path to becoming an aeroly or even if you already are, it would be in your best interest to communicate with those beyond the veil. Will work on clairaudience later; for now I'll teach you to actually see these beings.

(Allow me to stop you right there. Before reading any further, I need you to look within yourself. Are you willing to be persistent? Is this a one time thing? Will you be disappointed if you don't see what you want to see when you want to see it? Many of you will simply dabble and take a mere fancy to this notion of seeing what is unseen. But you must understand, this is a path in life that's not meant for everyone. Be true to yourself.)

Okay! It's real easy to see energy. Go into a dark or dimly lit room and close your eyes. Take a moment to slow your breathing and relax your body. Once you do that open your eyes and focus at one point in the room. You'll see what appears to be TV static in the air. This is the energy that fills the air.

Once you've accomplished that continue to stare at the energy, not the item or wall behind it, but the energy that separates you from it. You'll begin to notice orbs of light and shapes. These may seem like your eyes playing tricks on you, but in reality they're spirits. Don't freak out; unless you feel dark energy from them, their harmless.

It takes some practice before you'll be able to decipher between Fae and human spirits. I personally have seen many human spirits, a few hobgoblins, a serpent-like form, and what I believe to have been trooping fairies and pixies. Unless you have the ability to already, you likely won't be able to see solid forms or even very clear forms. It took some time and effort before I could even start to see fuzzy outlines of figures.

With time you'll also be able to see them in lit places.

Good bye for now. Have a good day!
안녕히계세요, 좋은 하루 되세요!

Pages From the Witch's Book

Greetings and Happy Lunar New Year!

I thought I would post a few tidbits of knowledge from my own book of shadows (BOS). I hope that this information can further aid you in crafting spells for wings. If you are a beginning witch I hope this can help you in your other magick work.


Aura Purification (For Protection From Negativity of All Forms):

This is a quick little energy fix whenever you feel uncomfortable or threatened. This may also be done every morning to help strengthen your overall energy.

Begin by selecting a memory or something that means a lot to you. You'll know it has a strong effect on you because you'll instantly feel happy and content. Allow that good energy to run through your entire body. Now, imagine a glowing white energy surrounding you and engulfing you. Breathe steadily and deeply, and continue thinking the positive thoughts as you do this.

(If you feel ill, you can use this method but with a green aura instead.)


Simple Ways to Increase Magick Abilities:

• Write Ofudas
• Meditate
• Send positive energy to other people/animals/places/objects
• Keep a journal to record anything magickal that happens to you
• Go for a walk in nature
• Listen to your favorite music and dance
• Dance in the rain
• Purify your aura / Try changing the color of your aura
• Practice with tarot cards
• Play with a regular 52-deck of playing cards
• Swim
• Sit in nature
• Make art
• Do what makes you happy

Mantra to See What is Unseen:

Like old webs I remove the veil,

I shall see what was spoken of in old tales,

The world that was hazy shall now be clear,

I welcome new vision with no fear.

Rifting Ritual:

NOTE: This is not guaranteed to work physically. But this WILL open a portal. Follow every step carefully in order to prevent dark spirits from passing through it. Returning will be difficult, if possible.

~Needed:

• Candles (4 for you and add 1 other for each other person performing)
• Drawing of Torii (You or one of the other people performing must draw this and put in your intentions while drawing it)
• Dark room or a very dark location outside at night (no street lamps nearby)
• Salt
• Stories (You and your friends can make the stories up yourself or use another story)

~Directions:

1. Create a circle of salt large enough for everyone to sit in

2. Surround outside of circle with candles

3.Light candles in a counterclockwise direction

4. Everyone sit inside the circle with the drawing of the torii on the ground with the opening pointing towards everyone

5. Recite your chosen stories, they must reflect the kind of place you wish to rift to. Everyone must immerse themselves in the stories

New House Purification:

Walk around the empty house while burning a sage smudge stick or a sage incense stick. Use a large feather or folding fan to fan out the smoke. Think positive thoughts and envision the smoke as white light filling every corner and crevice. You can chant a protective chant or sing a song that you feel suitable while doing this; or you can be silent.

Afterwards, retrace your steps through the house while waving a gohei. (You can make your own gohei by folding shide and attaching them to a wooden stick)

Helpful Herbs:

Sage - Purification of evil

Thyme - Increases courage and memory

Rosemary - Maintains youthfulness

Basil - Draws prosperity and wealth

Lavender - True love and dreams

Cedar - Increases strength and protection

Pine - For prosperity and divination

Rose - Love

Bay - Divination

Quick Love Potion:

This will not make someone fall in love with you, that would be black magick. Instead this is used to catch the attention of your desired person.

1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

1/2 tsp French Lavender oil

Mix and dab on your wrists and neck

Days of the Week (their planets and meanings):

Sunday - (Sun) Hope and victory

Monday - (Moon) Healing

Tuesday - (Mars) War and protection

Wednesday - (Mercury) Career and travel

Thursday - (Jupiter) Wealth and family

Friday - (Venus) Love and growth

Saturday - (Saturn) Fortune and creativity

Magickal Tip:

The non-dominant hand is used for receiving energy.

Aeroly Existing Away From Human Society

*안녕 친구들! This is a post for the new page I put up: Survival Aid*



Having decided to live in the wild, and magickal society away from humans, you will be free. But you will have complications in surviving. If you have experience in outdoor survival, then this should be easier for you.

The biggest issue I suppose would be finding a place to live. Much of the land today has been claimed by human society. Though you certainly can find uninhabited and un-owned pieces of land. Having wings will make traveling easier.

You're pretty much going to be living as a hermit, so prepare for loneliness. Even with a flock, you'll still feel quite cut off. Maybe every once in a while you can go to a local town or heck, travel to some new place as a vacation. Just be sure to socialize with outsiders even if it is a simple exchange of greetings. This will keep you somewhat sane.

As I mentioned earlier, if you have outdoor survival experience, you'll be set. You need to be able to find food, clean fresh water, and shelter. Here are some links to learn as much as you desire:

~ How to Drop Out of Society
~ A Survivalist's Dream: Dropping Out of Society


If you are taking the route, it is brutal. If you have a family, you may need to talk to them about your plans. If you cannot (due to many reasons), then just prepare yourself and leave. But I strongly recommend you communicate with your family, if possible. If they are abusive then you should just leave. But DO NOT ditch your family and leave them to feel as though the world ended for them. They WILL miss you.

You will also need to give up many luxuries. This includes, cars, technology, and indoor plumbing. Even if you can manage to get a hold of a car or some piece of technology for free (this does not mean stealing), maintenance costs will be tricky (Ex. firewall for computer, oil/tire change for car, insurance, etc.). You have wings, fly to wherever you want, fly to a library or internet cafe with computers there, heck fly to a public restroom with indoor plumbing.

Just be prepared.

Aeroly in the Human World

*안녕 친구들! This is a post for the new page I put up: Survival Aid*



If you have decided to live as an aeroly within human society, you will need to be very diligent in keeping your secret. (Let it be known that humans NEED to be aware about the unknown because they/we are also apart of the magickal world. But, being in the dark for so long will cause them to react badly to such news. We must ease them into this knowledge) This means that you cannot let your wings out freely around others and you must avoid the following:

• Swimming publicly in something revealing your back
• Bathing publicly or with others
• Back massages
• Wearing anything that reveals the back

Avoid the second one entirely, however, you can still swim publicly as long as your fine with wearing dark clothes that won't sag and reveal the wings. You can get a back massage from massage chairs, or revealing to a friend or family member about your secret and have them massage your back. You can still wear tank tops, low cut dresses, etc. as long as you wear a jacket or some form of wrap to cover the bare back.

Being in the human world, you're going to need to have some ally to help you. Let a family member or a friend know. And remember to find other aerolies.

Schooling & Other Social Activities

Why do you go to school? Is it to be around other people? Do you want the education to get your dream job? Or are you forced to go? If you merely go to get an education, consider home/online schooling. Online school is perfect for self-motivated students and especially for those who have busy parents. I recommend FLVS (It's called "Florida Virtual School"; but I'm pretty sure students all across the country can use it).

If you go to school for socialization and/or you're forced to go, then you should stay. You don't really need to change your lifestyle, you just need to keep your guard up and not be irresponsible. Certainly do not get into fights. Also make certain that you do have a friend in at least one of your classes who you can trust your secret to. If something goes wrong (faint, need to reveal back, etc.), than it'll be reassuring that you have someone to help you.

If you are into sports, don't let the wings stop you (unless you swim competitively). Keep away from grueling sports that may allow someone to accidentally touch your back.

Other hobbies, jobs and social events should be fairly safe. But always ensure that your wings are tightly shut against your back. The same rules for school apply to your job. Have a coworker you can trust.

Dating, Marriage, Family

When dating, you need to appear as normal as possible. Make sure the person is trustworthy and try going on dates at a dark movie theater. Never let them touch your back. I wouldn't risk it, but I suppose it isn't to terrible to allow them to wrap their arm around your shoulders.

When you are comfortable with this person and you accept them as either a good friend, or a lifetime mate, DO NOT reveal your secret to them all at one time. Slowly hint to them that you have wings. Ask them their thoughts on magickal subjects. Just ease them into the idea of you as an aeroly before revealing it.

Married life as an aeroly with a human may show to be more complicated than a fully human marriage. Your spouse may feel left out of your world and they may have difficulties coping with who you are. If it proves that difficult, you probably shouldn't have agreed upon being life mates with them. Make sure you spend enough time with them, and communicate often and openly.

If you choose to reproduce, your children may or may not have wings. Either way, they shall face difficulties, and either way, home birth is your best bet. If they do not have wings, they will possibly feel envious or embarrassed by your wings. Be sure to also communicate openly with them, and focus their thoughts on their good qualities. You can also help them grow their own wings.

If you have children with wings, it would be best you protect their backs when in public. Try to home school them and keep in mind what they want to do with their lives (live among humans, away from humans, be nomadic). Keep an eye on their wing growth and development. Teach them how to fly. When the primary feathers are more grown, take them out for a fly. Also communicate openly. Communication is crucial because therapy for this won't be so easy to get.

You should be open with your family members about your wings (they will prove to be helpful), but you don't need to inform all of them. If you don't want to tell your parents but you tell your grandparents, or vice versa, that is okay. Follow your gut instinct and tell whoever you feel comfortable telling.

Be Prepared to Let Go

Realize that it is a possibility that you will need to run away, change your identity, and make a new life. If you are in monumental danger, you may even need to say goodbye to the human world.

Scenarios in which you will have to leave your friends, family, city, possibly human society include:

• People know your secret and want you dead
• You are being hunted down for scientific purposes
• Your family/friends have made you an outcast
• Your secret has been reveled on an international scale (people will not cease to pester you)
• Your city makes you an outcast

There are many more scenarios but you'll have to judge the severity for yourself.

Mentally prepare yourself and just be able to survive on your own.

Fan Dancing for the Aeroly Soul

(Source)

Fan dancing is a varied dance form spread throughout many different cultures. I've researched and learned Japanese fan dancing, so I'll be referring to such.

Fans are a traditional tool for the element of air. Regardless of your own personal element, having wings means you'll be working with the element of air a lot.

If you are a different element (based off of the astrological signs), then you may want to work with it as well. You can do this through specific colored clothing, burning candles (for fire), putting a small stone in your pocket (for earth), or a vial of water in your pocket (obviously water). Try making up your own ways of keeping close to your element to add a personal touch.

Japanese fans symbolize friendship and respect. It's in ancient Japanese belief that the handle symbolizes the beginning of life (the beginning of your wing growth), and the ribs are the roads of life going out in all directions (the growth and obstacles to gaining your wings).


For fan dancing, all you need is a fan (or two) that opens and closes easily and smoothly, yet stays open when in use.

Fan dancing is simple; the movements are slow and intentional. Many movements can be repeated and it doesn't matter in which direction you step or turn. You can even make up your own moves. Just choose a song that feels suitable for you and allow yourself to flow with the music. You can dance quickly or slowly, whatever works. But never consider the fan as a separate item, think of it as an extension of your hand. Allow yourself to relax into, and enjoy.

Manifesting Your Desires Through Music

Music is all around us, it is present in our everyday lives. Different rhythms and melodies evoke different feelings of joy, melancholy, rebellion, inspiration, etc. One can even experience a physical reaction to music (not just dancing). If you experience a strong connection to a certain song, this just may help you to bring forth your greatest dreams and wishes.

(Source)

When lost and confused, turn to a song which opens your mind and soul to your desire. Whatever allows you to feel a strong tingling sensation over your scapulae and spine, that song is an ally in your quest.


What You Can Do

When you've found the song(s), be it lyrical and/or instrumental, listen to it:

• While walking/sitting/lying in nature
• While standing/sitting/lying in a dark room (learn to embrace the darkness)
• While simply relaxing

Whatever method you choose, be sure to visualize yourself with wings and awaken your every sense to this visualization, Feel the wind ruffling your feathers, take note of the extra weight (not much) on your back, also, trying to practice controlling the wings. Flap your wings, feel them scoop up the air beneath them, the tips of the primary feathers slicing the air.

Personal Song List

Just for the hey of it, here's a list of my own personal songs which help me to manifest my wings:

Reflections - Misterwives

Lionheart - Of Monsters and Men

바람에 날려 (Blowing in the Wind) - 배치기 feat. 펀치

Caribbean Blue - Enya

Kamisama no Kamisama - Hanae

Fireflies - Owl City

Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac

What are your manifesting song choices? Share them in the comments.

Wish Tip

A quick tip for improving the power in your wish spells:

Burn whiskers. Ordinarily cat whiskers are used, but any animal's should suffice. I know it's unnecessary to add but I must make it clear that one should not tear off/cut the animal's whiskers, nor burn the whiskers while still attached.

Energy Renewal

If you often cast spells or perform rituals for different goals, do you ever feel a loss of the sensation of your wings' energy? I know I do. I'm not the best multitask-er, and at my level of magickal strength multitasking energy is surely a challenge.

I try to simply focus all my spiritual energy on my wings' growth; however, it is selfish of me to not send good energy to an ill loved one, or a loved one taking a major test. There are also the situations where I could use a spell to help myself.

Although I haven't found any solutions, I have found ways to cope and quickly replenish energy. This constant cycle may put a stunt on wing growth though. I'm not sure, more research and experimenting should help.

~ Tips:

• Before performing a spell, take an object and place your energy and desire for wings into it. While doing the spell, have the object attached to you. I tend to use a flower or ivy crown I made before-hand, or a flower. I fill them with the energy and make it so that they energy is sent back to me slowly as the plant withers in my hair (or pocket)

• Return to nature. After experiencing a drainage of energy, no matter how insignificant, go outside. Dance in the rain, watch the clouds, lie down among trees as wind buffets them, walk in the sunlight. Let nature replenish what you have lost. Personally I find windy days and lighting storms to be quite energizing for me.

• Practice using your energy on two things at once.

• Keep trying! Continue to cast spells for your wings, send energy to them, and never give up no matter how hopeless circumstances make you think.

Breakaway

"Evolution has no sense of future; the here and now is the only place where evolution occurs" 
-- John R. Hutchinson (http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/vertebrates/flight/evolve.html)


The above quote was taken from an article about the evolution of flight in birds (which is still a large jumbled puzzle to me). I was drawn to this line because it says straight out that instead of thinking of the future, let everything you want occur here and now. Don't be mistaken, I'm not telling you to become a wild party animal (if you aren't already), or what they say "YOLO"; instead I am simply making it clear that wings are already in your possession and flight is already in your power. This fact must be constantly pounded into your mind and life if you are to be absolutely successful in your endeavors.

I have always considered Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" to be my wing growth song. It's emotional, free-flowing, and it just starts that spark in my heart which tells me "I can". Whether it's wings or finding your place in life, it's a phenomenal song.

Make a wish. To have your wings. Getting your thoughts and feelings out there (as positively as possible) will bring them soaring back around to you.

Take a chance. Don't allow others to squander your beliefs. It's alright to let others into your beliefs. Don't go around announcing your wings, but be free to let your belief in them show.

Make a change. Show others you are persistent and let them know they should be too. Change your entire outlook and reactions to life to suit a more positive lifestyle.

Then once ready, spread your wings and learn how to fly.

"The Secret"

I've never been one for self-help books but my mother was gifted by our neighbor an audio book of "The Secret". After listening to a few chapters in the car with my mother, I find it to really review and add on to my knowledge of the Law of Attraction.

The Law of Attraction is fairly simple; when thinking, or acting negatively, you attract negative energy, but when you think, or act positively, of course you attract positive energy. So apply the same concept with your wing growth. You must believe you already have wings, say it constantly to yourself and have faith that when you need them, they will come through. Don't be discouraged by no instant results, although you already have wings it will still take time for your body to realize this.

I think it's a great book to remind those who are already aware of the discussed topics. But it is also wonderful to teach those who are in the dark. I recommend it and rate it 12 out of 10 pigeons.

Ki for Wing Growth

Update: I have been neglecting posts and I apologize. I have endless ideas and techniques for wing growth, however I am in a stagnant state due to school. It will take some time but hopefully I'll be able to return to consistent posting again.



Today will be a quick post, pretty much just links.

I learned that building up your ki energy will give you a great advantage to growing wings. When you learn to control your ki, you can manipulate it to about anything, within reason. Practicing morning or night or smack in the middle of the day (or night) doesn't matter. Whatever is comfortable and convenient for you. Work hard to reach your goal, this is your path and let no one tell you your wrong. Good luck:

Energy: An Introduction & Practice Guide

Introduction:

Energy has many definitions and possesses a large role in all forms of living and non-living entities. But altogether energy produces power and creates something from the power.

When growing wings, A LOT of energy is exerted, when used properly. Energy is a neutral mass of potential power just sitting around waiting to be used and turned positively or negatively; let's stick to turning it positively. When you ask for something, the mass doesn't automatically receive the message and form itself to your beckoning call. You must work hard to ally yourself with energy and train it to your commands. It's similar to a dog.

1. Leave yourself open to possibilities through belief & acceptance.

2. Know what you want. Always know how something works and what you are striving for in order to make the intentions clear.

3. Small steps

It takes years before you are able to fully master bending energy at your will. Better get started ASAP. The process also requires dedication, just as any goal does. However, time and choosing your path freely is not all too possible in this world. Therefore you must work even harder to accomplish such, and if you do succeed, you can breakthrough the barrier of "no choice".

For those with a busy schedule:

1. Create a schedule. Make times for meditation, spell casting, and other energy practices.

2. Practicing maintaining a calm and accepting attitude towards every obstacle. Don't hold in your emotions though, it is unhealthy to suppress your natural feelings, so make them known.

3. Each night (or whenever time is available) make small goals to accomplish the next day.

4. Find balance in your life.

5. Spend time as often as possible in nature. While in nature, talk to the plants, animals, & spirits, try learning their ways.

6. Create your own unique mantra to help.

7. Imagine the energy (whatever image you have of it) surrounding you and becoming what you wish.

8. Stretch and do breathing exercises.


Practice Guide:

Here I will provide a few exercises and techniques to help you on your way.


Breathing Exercises:

- Energy Orb (I didn't know what to call it): Begin by standing straight (back straight, shoulders back. Good posture is a must ) with your feet shoulder length apart. Do not bend your knees but do not lock them either, relax.

Breathe steadily and allow yourself to allow the energy into your space. Close your eyes and lift your arms in front of you. Clap your hands together and rub them together as though trying to warm yourself up.

[What do you get when you have socks on your feet and you rub them on a carpet? Static electricity.]

In doing this with your hands, you have succeeded in gaining energy. The energy is right there at your hands.

Now, keeping your eyes closed, bring your hands apart and pretend as though you are holding an orb at the sides. With your hands remaining stiff, bring them closer and further together (not dramatically closer or further but short motions:

^Bob

Bob is making short, slow motions if you can understand the poorly drawn, anatomically incorrect person thingy above. As you can tell I am not the best with descriptions xD). Gradually pick up speed, then slow back down once satisfied.

You will feel a tingling sensation in the joints of your phalanges. With practice, try directing this energy to your scapulae and help them push out and grow. Imagine the energy is flowing water (it doesn't need to literally be flowing water, but the motions are similar), and it is blissfully without a care travelling through your arms, up to your shoulders and down to the wing blades.

- Forms:

The following links provide Tae Kwon Do forms. You can benefit most from having training, however you can still gain a good energy flow from them. Simply breath and learn to direct your strength by using these.

Tiger Kimsusa TKD Forms (<---- This site provides video demonstrations)

Yellow Belt Forms

World Tae Kwon Do Student Handbook (Forms)

- Meditation:

Meditation can help with breathing control. Just for a few minutes each day, sit down with your legs crossed. Sit up straight and cancel out your surroundings; focus solely on your hear beat and steady breathing (through only the nasal passages).

Lying on Back Theory

I have heard time and time again the avian humanoids must lie on their side or stomach or else their wings could be damaged. But this hardly seems necessary. It would be alright to lie on your back with wings and you probably should for several reasons. The first being that you become lighter with wings, next is birds can fall on their backs with undamaged wings, and the final reason is that it is more comfortable to lie on your back.

With the growth of wings, you will become lighter. When wings grow on a being, they don't just suddenly appear effortlessly. When a child grows older, they do not suddenly become an adult effortlessly (although it seems so). Children normally have fat to support their growth and must also consume a lot of calories to provide energy for their body's growth. It is no different from growing wings. When one is growing wings, they must sustain their energy because they are losing tremendous amounts of weight in order to provide energy for the wing's growth. Being that wings are ordinarily an alien appendage on a homosapien, therefore tremendous amounts of stored and consumed energy will be exerted and there will be a large decrease in weight. Keep in mind that the wings will be a delicate structure, but to hold you up and with their size, they will be strong, sturdy mechanisms. Wings and their host become more balanced in order to support each other. With your light weight and strong wings, you probably won't hurt them by lying on your back.

Another point I would like to make is that birds fall on top of their wings plenty of times without damaging their wings. I have a Quaker Parrot, and he (the ditsy klutz he is) always falls over onto his back and he simply stands back up, wings unharmed. This may have to do with a bird's wings closing perfectly to fit snug onto their form. An avian human will have a similar way of closing their wings safely. However, depending on how one (birds and avian humans) lies on their back will determine the condition of their wings. Wings closed or fully extended may be best for comfort and safety.

Finally, it is simply comfortable. Just because of the new addition to your body, doesn't mean your sleep position must drastically change. You can choose to sleep on your back, side or stomach. But be wary of sleeping on your stomach. Lying on your stomach can one (for females) cause breasts to sag, and two (anyone) elevate your head the wrong way, damaging your neck.

Even though I am yet to have wings, the reasons a logical, and from observations and research. So in conclusion, it seems safe to say you CAN lie on your back when with wings.

Wings FAQ & Motivation

There are many people are the same track as I am. They are all searching to become avian-humans. With this, there are many questions.

FAQ

• Do you have to be a witch/Wiccan/Pagan/etc.?

~ No. I hear this question all the time but it is a solid no. We all

have powers and we can all harness them. It would be however

helpful being something of the sort. When you are a 

witch/Wiccan/Pagan/etc. you tend to study and devout more

of yourself to understanding magic and connecting with nature.

• How long does it take to get wings?

~ Truth is, no one can say for sure because it varies. Those who

have succeeded in gaining their wings have said it took about

a year. This sounds to be the more logical time period, for wings

are apart of your body. They need the proper time to develop.

Another factor is belief and determination level. Do you truly

want wings? How much of yourself are you willing to expose

to the universe in order to gain this? Can you accept yourself

already?

• What spell works the best?

~ No spell is better than the other. Every spell's energy and force

depends mainly on what the spell-caster puts into it. Your heart,

soul, blood, and body (not literally. I don't do those gory spells).

Have confidence and faith, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't mean

give-up, it means your wings are magnificent and require hard work.

• How long will my wings be?

~ That is all up to you. But I think the question should be

rephrased to "how long SHOULD my wings be?" I

heard you need to use the quotient of this equation:

your weight / 5 = wingspan in feet

But I also saw in a video by AnimeMonsterSingz

(will be shared in motivation part of post :P) that the 

largest wingspan is 18.08 and that going over is 

deadly. For teens it should be 17.05 or 17.08. For 

younger children 15.05 or 16.05. The smallest

size is 14.04

Motivation

For something so life changing, motivation is crucial. I cannot even begin to emphasize how important it is to remain optimistic. I won't lie, it is a near impossible goal, gaining wings. But it is possible. That is the only thing you need to remember, it can and will happen. Don't get me wrong, it won't happen if you won't stick with the mindset of "I can". Growing wings isn't for the faint of heart.

Any time of the day, look in the mirror and visualize yourself with wings. Say to yourself:

"These wings are mine,

And I am theirs,

Together we are partners."

Another one you can say (speak to your reflection but mean it towards yourself):

"You are strong,

You can accomplish anything,

You will grow wings,

You have the power."

Just continue imagining yourself as though you already have wings. If you just believe so hard you have wings already, the universe will have no choice but to materialize them. Never lose hope, never say never in a negative context, always be yourself, never stop believing, never give in to the words of others.

The video I mentioned in the FAQ is a beautiful and informative one. It has boosted my motivation and I learned a bit more than before from it:

Avian Video for People Who Want Wings

The creator of the video (AnimeMonsterSingz) seems welcoming to anyone interested in wings. She gave her kik in the comments saying anyone can ask questions. Her kik: biancaaquatic

You are not alone in your quest and we will all support each other! ^.^

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.

Morning Meditation

Just as I meditate at night, I meditate in the morning. I do so for all the same reasons as nightly meditation.

1. Helps increase my awareness
2. Relaxes the mind and body, allowing the energy of growth to flow
3. Improves spiritual wing strength
4. Amplifies desire for wings

There is another song on YouTube I found which helps place my mind and soul into the right position. It is also perfect for energizing you for the day. When listened to in the morning, the song gives a boost to your autonomic nerves. I took a sports anatomy and physiology class and could give you notes and endless amounts of information on the autonomic nervous system; however I'll just present an overview for the important bits.

Our internal organs and muscles are regulated and controlled by this system. It is important for the "fight or flight" & "rest and digest" processes. 

After meditating to the musical piece for two weeks, I have found that I feel more in control of my body and my surroundings. Not only does it prepare me to tackle the day, but it prepares me to tackle my wish. During meditation, I sit with my back straight, crossing my legs. I envision flying; feeling the cold wind battering at my hair, the weight of being held up, seeing any sights I please, and feeling my back muscles work my wings.

Here is a link to the song:

Autonomic Nerves 自律神経を整える。～ 新緑の朝 ～

Have a blessed day ^^

Morning Yoga

おはよう！

Not often do I have time time in the morning for yoga. I always rush, with having so many tasks at hand, mornings can be difficult to find time for yoga. However, even just doing so a few times a week, improves my flexibility and relieves stress.

When I lack stress, my mind, and body can focus more easily on the development of both my spiritual and physical wings.

Just listening to relaxing instrumental music and doing yoga with the rising sun increases my awareness and I feel helps prepare the body for the addition of wings. When the body goes through such changes, it is imperative to care for it.

• Stay hydrated

Before and after doing yoga, be sure to drink plenty of water. Drinking water can also help with weight loss.

• Beef up

Don't go overboard, but to build muscle and power your body, consume protein before. I eat oatmeal beforehand; and before the oatmeal is done cooking, I put a raw egg in and cook it until the outside is white, but the inside is runny.

• Stretch

Just a warm-up. There isn't any solid proof that stretching before helps or doesn't. Personally, after stretching I feel more energized.

• Relax

I am horribly guilty of rushing EVERYTHING. It is not good, even though I can complete tasks a bit quicker, I end up doing something wrong and throwing the entire process off course pushing me behind. Rushing attracts ungodly amounts of stress for me XD But just breath in slowly, through the nose and out the mouth. Allow the energy to flow gracefully through your body. I like imagining I already have my physical wings and how it would feel doing yoga with them.

• Background Noise

Whether it is the sounds of the your surrounding environment, or an instrumental piece of music, it must be relaxing. The sounds can calm your nerves but boost the awareness of your senses. I personally enjoy Joe Hisaishi piano music (better known as music from Ghibli Studio movies). Otherwise I will do yoga outside and listen to the birds ^^
