Zogenaamde toverstokjes of Magic wands zijn al een heel oud verschijnsel. Ze komen voor in allerlei verhalen over tovernaars en heksen, in fables en sprookjes, maar we vinden ze ook bij archeologische opgravingen. Ze maken dele uit van de klassieke tover-hulpmiddelen, waaronder ook de schaal (chalice), het mes of zwaard en de waaier (Fan) vallen. Toverstokjes zijn er in allerlei vormen, ze zijn dus van alle tijden. De laatste tijd is er een hernieuwde belangstelling voor, zeker sinds de Harry Potter boeken een ietwat geromantiseerd idee over toverstokjes bij het brede publiek hebben gebracht.
Power
Sticks
Staven
voor Healing: magic wands
Staven zijn er in vele vormen. We kennen de maarschalksstaf, de herdersstaf maar ook de toverstaf. Magische staven zoals de Mindlift Power Sticks zijn ontworpen om de natuurlijke energieën op te vangen, zodat ze gekanaliseerd en versterkt kunnen worden voor verschillende doeleinden, zoals healing (Reiki), magische doeleinden zoals het inwijden van objecten, invocaties (aanroepen, gebeden), en het in evenwicht brengen en harmoniseren van persoonlijke energie. Daarnaast zijn het gewoon ook fraaie voorwerpen, die als sieraad getoond kunnen worden of als geschenk iets heel bijzonders uitdrukken.
Iedere PowerStick is
uniek en voor ieder-een past ook een andere staaf, het is een kwes-tie van
resonantie, de steen, de vorm, de energie kan bij je passen, dat heeft niets
met de prijs of de afmeting te maken.
De opzet van deze staven
komt uit Tibet en Nepal, waar ze gebruikt worden voor kris-tal-healing, deze
worden gemaakt in India. De healingstaven die we aanbie-den zijn ge-maakt van
krachtig kristal en (half) edel-steen. Ze zijn voorzien van een kristallen punt
aan één zijde en een afgerond kristal aan de andere kant.
Je gebruikt de staf
alsof je met een pen de energie in een persoon instraalt, recht of dwars zoals
dat het beste aanvoelt. Je kunt de energie van de staaf haar werk laten doen,
maar ook steun vragen of visualise-ren dat er bijvoorbeeld genezend licht via
de staaf komt. De puntige zijde wordt gebruikt voor het instralen van botten en
spieren, de ronde zijde voor organen en weefsels. Voor gebruik reinigen (water,
zonlicht, maan-licht, rook) en zorgvuldig bewaren. Je eigen staaf alleen zelf
gebruiken, kristal neemt makkelijk energie op van anderen.
Er is meestal een
centrale staf van een (half)-edelsteen zoals:
Amethyst, Goud kwarts,
Bloedsteen, Maan-steen, groene Ruby Zoisite (robijn-moeder), zwart Agaat, witte
Agaat, Jasper, groene Aventurijn, rode Aventurijn, gele Aventurijn.
Maar ze zijn er ook van
edelhout of van een geleidend metaal zoals koper, in alle gevallen bewerkt, met
zilveren ornamenten, soms goud en afgewerkt met een hoge mate van vakmanschap.
Verder is de staaf vaak voorzien van 7 ver-schillende edelstenen die zijn
ingelegd in zilveren ornamenten. Deze edelstenen cor-responderen met de
verschil-lende lichaams-chakra's en geven fysieke en psychische on-dersteuning
tijdens de healing. De gebruikte halfedelstenen zijn (met wat variaties, er
zijn verschillende stenen die per chakra passen), meestal:
7 Kruinchakra: Amethyst
6 Derde oog chakra: Sodaliet
5 Keelchakra: Blauwe Agaat
4 Hartchakra: Aventurijn
3 Zonnevlecht chakra: Rose Kwarts
2 Navelchakra: Argoniet
1 Wortelchakra:
Carneliaan
Omdat deze staven uit natuurlijk materiaal
bestaan en handgemaakt zijn, is het kwarts-type dat geleverd wordt variërend en
is ook de lengte niet altijd gelijk.
Some wands are
said to have enormous powers, others are just very beautiful, very exquisite or
made of very rare or fetish materials. They are described as wands, power
sticks, staffs, totems or sceptres, and usually the owner has a special kind of
attachment to them. But whatever the purpose, whatever the qualities, whether
you are waving your wand to enforce your will or just using it as a prop in the
home altar or as a jewellery piece on the coffee table, magic wands are
fascinating items. Egosoft offers you a
selection of wands and sticks under the
brandmane Mindlift Power Sticks, but offers you also an opportunity to learn
more of these magical instruments.
Magic wands serve as ritual
implements, but are also used for healing. Especially the crystal on top of the
wand can have great healing power in the hands of the right bearer
(owner/practitioner) sometimes geared towards specific illnesses, sometimes of
a general nature. How to use such a wand is a matter of practice, inclination
and talent, and the effectiveness may grow over time and with experience.
Intention, dedication, concentration and trust in the power of the universe, as
represented and symbolised by the wand, is essential.
Healing
sticks are used in the Tibetan and
Indian tradition, often used in a so-called 7 chakra design, having a set of
(semi)-precious stones or gems associated with the 7 traditional chakra. These
gems can be set on the body of the wand
or used as ornaments.
The use of
crystals or a wand with crystal tips for healing is common practice in many
cultures and traditions, we mention the Reiki approach, where practitioners or
reiki-masters use a healing stick.
We have a small selection of wands
to demonstrate the possibilities and variation in design. Some of these are
added to this description, (see pictures) They have a regular price, but not
the special qualities we describe below for the MPS-wands. This sample set
consists of various models, available in materials like wood, crystal quartz,
rose quartz, golden quartz, smoky
quartz, amethysts, green aventurine, bloodstone, moonstone, ruby
zoisite.
There are
some practical considerations in choosing a wand. Although the clear crystal
body appeals to many people, it is somewhat vulnerable and breaks easily. The
more solid stones and wood wands are more sturdy and less vulnerable.
Below we
outline our approach to a special kind of power sticks, indicated as Mindlift
Power Sticks (MPS).
As the name
suggests, they are tools to help the mind exert power. Power over the material
world as in mind over matter, but it is maybe more appropriate to talk about
psychological awareness and healing powers. Depending on one’s belief system
one can ascribe certain magical powers to objects like wands, knives, cups, but
the general theory of magic indicates, that such powers would be related to the
correspondences inherent in the materials, design, production and ultimately
the use of such tools. Correspondences are links, similarities, relationships,
connections in form, colour, appearance, name, numbers, frequency, descendency,
physical proximity between forces or ideas in
the material realm and those in the ideal or nonmaterial and symbolical realms.
Correspondences
- as the basis of magic and ritual - date back to the earliest human
activities, wherever our ancestors were involved in ritual or spiritual
activities we find totems, holy objects, similacrums and facsimiles. Little
statuettes representing animals, deities, age old rock drawings using symbols
we can recognise today as representing the sun, water, stars and planets,
correspondences are of all times and all cultures. Even the oldest myths,
stories and scriptures like the Veda’s and the Avesta are full of correspondences,
using sometimes very obvious one like the colour red for fire, sometimes we
have lost the meaning or underlying significance of the correspondences hinted
at.
These
correspondences are numerous and classification is cumbersome, many socalled grimoires
or sorcery books deal exclusively with correspondences. However, over time the
magical literature has yielded enough structures and matrices classifying the
relationships between numbers, stones, metals, colors, the planets, animals and
such. There are extensive lists tying specific zodiac signs to certain minerals
and crystals, flowers, herbs, trees and animals. These can be used to choose
the material used in the personalised MPS powerstick as provided by Mindlift.
The choice of materials and design
is based on the principle of correspondences, where we offer a wide variety in
materials and forms, guaranteeing a unique specimen, tailored to your personal
taste, corresponding to your personal data and characteristics and thus the
basis for a most powerful wand. These data could be your date and place of
birth, as translated in a horoscope sign, zodiac symbols, but also an ennegram
personality type, a Human Design System horoscope translated in chakra
energies, your power or totem animal, your name (or numerological identity),
power words, personal, tribal or ancestral symbols, lucky number, preferences
for materials, potential allergies (some metals give allergic reactions) and
other details that you deem relevant. Our master artists will use this to pick
a design and material that resonate optimally.
Please
provide, in your request for an MPS wand, the necessary data, additional
details and preferences, so that we can offer you an appropriate design and
quote you an acceptable price.
The general
approach for making powersticks and similar magical objects is to combine
representations or specimens from the various worlds into one object or
artefact. When we use the word worlds here, this is a rather general
indication, there are many ways to divide the seen and the unseen creation into
worlds, levels or dimensions. As an example used often in the design of
powersticks there is the world of minerals (stones, crystals, metals), the
world of plants and trees (flower, wood, herbs), the world of animals (bones,
fur, shells, feathers), the world of sentient beings, the world of ideas or
symbols (a name, graph, a pattern), in fact one can make many world
constructions. The basic elements earth, water, fire and air (with ether as the
invisible component) can be represented by earth elements, fish bones of
fossils, precious stones with a fiery nature, feathers or birds bones for the
air, a meteorite for ether.
There are
practical and financial limits to the materials and design you choose, using a
5 carat diamond on top of your wand would not be an everyday choice and as
there needs to be some physical strength and rigidity to your wand, not all
combinations are possible.
The main
choice would be the crystal on top of the wand. Its size, quality, origin and
charge are important, but most of all it should resonate with the bearer and
his or her intention and dedication. The material value is less important, a
small but appropriate stone with the right kind of permanent or incidental
charge can do the job, an expensive gem might be useless. Once the primary
crystal is chosen, the rest of the structure follows in a more or less logical
structure, usually with a wood, stone or metal piece as the carrier of the
other materials.
Traditionally,
the magic tools one chooses and uses should be as personal as possible and in
some tradition it is emphasised, that one actually picks and works the raw
material in order to create a tool as personal and powerful as possible.
However, in our modern world most people don’t have access to the raw materials
or have a limited selection. The MPS wands are produced in such a way, that an
individual has a large influence on the materials and design and can pick and
choose what suits him or her best, thus allowing for a personalised result.
The unique
approach of MPS production is that we use your personal preferences and
correspondences to combine specific materials into a design, that fits you and
‘resonates’ optimally with your personality, your soul and your innermost
design and ambitions. This produces a basic tool, that you then can enhance and
dedicate yourself or you can use the empowerment options Mindlift provides.
Apart from
the physical quality of the MPS, the choice of materials, the workmanship and
the design there are a number of qualities and options that make each one of
these sticks unique and enhance their power. We mention:
A: The
empowerment treatment , that comes with the careful production and design
B: The
possibilities for additional personalisation and naming
C: The
option to insert additional ‘sacred’ items, materials and power-totems
D: The
option to charge the wand, with a link to otherdimensional energies
E: The option to anchor
experiential, emotional or healing information, events and experiences
F:
Radionics and frequency-related circuitry and dimensions
After the
physical production, where loving craftsmanship, deliberate choice of materials
and artistic inspiration already add ‘love-power’ there are a number of
procedures one can choose from that would enhance the power of the wands. These
would be additional to the standard procedure of ‘cleaning’ the wands after
production, by exposing it to moonlight, sunlight and streaming water, thereby
removing any unwanted contamination at the material and ethereal level. One can
choose from the following ritual empowering procedures or execute those or
similar ones oneself.
I: standard
dedication/consecration to the forces of nature, the four corners, seven
directions.
II:
personal dedication to a purpose or energy you as the principal specify
III: very
specific healing or other powers, upon special request and for which we would
need a ‘personal witness’ sample like a hair.
IV: site
related empowerment, a wand could be taken to sacred places like the Ganges or
other holy rivers, the Pyramids,
Some people
would like to enhance the identity of their wand by giving it a name (at a
consecration ceremony), by inscribing certain personal symbols or patters. This
can be done during production or you can arrange this yourself. An option we
offer is an embroidered wrapping or pouch, we can provide. All MPS wands come
with a beautiful bag anyway, for protection and safekeeping. The energy a wand
radiates needs to be respected and cared for.
In some
designs we include a ‘secret’ hidden space to insert additional personal items,
texts, dedications, homeopathic enhancers for healing purposes, precious
stones, totems and such.
Interdimensional
charging by qualified mages, imbuing specific or general positive energies,
protection, love, connection to specific entities, deities, powers. This is a
rather sensitive process and involves personal communication and sometimes
physical ‘witness’ material.
Sometimes
such a wand is purchased or given to mark a special event or happening, a
marriage, initiation and such and can be marked with a date or other indication
of such an event. At a psycho-ritual or neuroliguistic level, the handing over
or dedication of a wand is an ‘ anchored’ experience, touching the wand will
bring back the memory and state of mind of that event.
Adionics is a technology that uses specific
frequencies, dimensions, patterns, numbers and circuitry for healing and
various mind-matter applications. It is not like the sorcery of the past, but
rather a precise method, based on research and proofing. Electric and magnetic
circuits, but also symbolic circuitry play a role in Radionics and could be
part of the Wand design. These are not to generate electronic light and sound
effects, but serve healing and balancing purposes.
We offer
you a choice of materials, size and design and will produce an artefact that
suits you as best as we can. Do realise, however, that the size, color and
quality of certain materials form nature is a given fact, so that the end
result can deviate slightly. Also, you might get a wand that at face value,
isn’t the combination or doesn’t have the vibration you expected, but in fact
is precisely what you need. The universe, that guides you and us, has its own
ways to drive some messages home!
We supply,
with each MPS wand, a certificate of authenticity, indicating the name of the
artist that designed and produced the specimen, the name, birth date and other
data of the principal and the level and direction of the dedication given to
it, with a numerical value for the power it exudes. You are of course free to
transfer, sell or present your MPS-wand to another person, but it is advisable
to then send us back the certificate, we would provide a new certificate
backing up the transfer and rededication to a new owner.
As these
wands are not produced within a specific tradition, but rather as
meta-traditional sacred items and in a way create their own dimension of
immaterial activity, bringing them (and their owners/bearers) together can
enhance their power and create interesting links between their owners.
Therefore Egosoft-Mindlift arranges for MPS meetings, conferences and fairs.
