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."

Side Effects #2

Chills are constantly running down my spine. Although my scapulae are still tense and have a bit of a tingling sensation, they have gone somewhat numb and feel heavier.

It could be normal conditions, however I will continue to hope ^^

Shooting Star

Standing under the starry night sky really causes one long to be up there. I spoke a prayer to the twinkling, dancing crystals in the sky and begged for help. I wanted a sign to know I was on the right track or that they knew my desire for wings. They do.

Before my eyes, the heavens sent a star falling to Earth. Quickly realizing what happened, I immediately wished upon the falling star.

(I'm hoping it was the normal bits of space rock falling to Earth and not space junk T.T that would not be cool xD)

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.

Side effects

(Pardon the translation of words into Korean / 한국어, I / 나 am practicing vocabulary x))

During yesterday evening and this morning, I / 나 have been tense in the upper and mid-back areas. I / 나 tend to feel this when I /나 am connected to my / 나의 soul. This tension sort of hit me out of nowhere which is unusual.

My / 나의 muscles on the scapulae and surrounding them are tougher. They feel heavier.

While walking home / 집 from Tae Kwon Do / 태권도 today / 오늘,  the sky was open wide all around me, welcoming me to take flight. I / 나 felt oddly lighter as though I / 나 could drift off with the clouds. I / 나 can truly feel the sensation of wings clinging on my / 나의 back.

Therefore I / 나 am assuming that my / 나의 astral wings are near fully developed. Soon enough physical wings will begin / 시작 to manifest    Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

On Your Mark - Chage and Aska

I adore this video made by Miyazaki (all Studio Ghibli fans most likely know him). It is a promotional video made for Chage and Aska's song, On Your Mark. The song is beautiful and is truly inspirational. The video always gives me goosebumps.

My main goal for growing wings, is the freedom to venture further away from the restrains of society. This is what the video appears to display. To escape from people who lie and use others, and to be free in the sky. Also, her wings are lovely x) I never get sick of the video (/^_^)/

It was removed from YouTube, but I found it again:

CHAGE and ASKA - On Your Mark

I had to update the link, again. This video is fairly difficult to find and keep in one location xD

Consulting the Oracle

Curious, I asked the online oracle, "I Ching", a question about my wing growth:

I asked the I Ching Oracle:
Will my wings begin to grow soon?

(present) 59. Huan - Dispersion
You can succeed in dispersing even the greatest obstacle, provided you sort through chaos to find the source and clear the blockage.

(future) 4. Meng - Youthful Folly, Inexperience
Humbly acknowledge areas of inexperience and seek a teacher.

What does the Oracle hold for you?
