Here's high magic for you. This is the system I use. It's based on extremely ancient and accurate systems. How to use the System of Correspondencies: every corresponding element you use while casting your spell adds one bonus (whatever system); every opposing element present at the time is one penalty. Every object six units away is considered an opposing element (i.e. tin opposes gold and mercury, because both are six away). Example: you want to cast a healing spell. Healing comes under the auspices of Taurus. What time of the year is it? What time of the day is it (and wait until 5:00 or 6:00 if possible for maximum effect)? What planet is in ascension at the time? (apply bonuses and penalties as necessary). Now, a copper rod would add a bonus; a hornbeam rod wrapped in copper is better still. Including mint, thyme or tansy into the potion or incantation (mixed into a muddy (earthen) paste, NOT boiled because Water is the opposing element!). Apply black runes to the head. Repeat six times. Offer a cow in sacrifice, and perform the ritual in a field if possible. Et cetera; you get the idea. ======================== Correspondencies, Part I ======================== Star Planet Dates Day Hours Element Metal Gem Wood Sign of Day ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= Aquar- Uranus Jan 20- Sat. 2.0- Air Tin Opal Elm ius Feb 18 3.0 Pisces Neptune Feb 19- Thurs. 3.0- Water Bronze Pearl Beech Mar 20 4.0 Aries Mars Mar 21- Tues. 4.0- Fire Iron Ruby Oak Apr 20 5.0 Taurus Venus Apr 21- Fri 5.0- Earth Copper Sap- Horn- May 20 6.0 phire beam Gemini Mercury May 21- Wed. 6.0- Air Mercury Onyx Willow Jun 20 7.0 Cancer Moon Jun 21- Mon. 7.0- Water Silver Emerald Thorn Jul 20 8.0 Leo Sun Jul 21- Sun. 8.0- Fire Gold Topaz Mistle Aug 21 9.0 -toe Virgo Mercury Aug 22- Wed. 9.0- Earth Mercury Diamond Pine Sept 22 10.0 Libra Venus Sept 23-Fri. 10.0- Air Copper Jade Yew Oct 22 11.0 Scorpio Mars Oct 23- Tues. 11.0- Water Iron Aqua- Fir Nov 22 12.0 Marine Sagit- Jupiter Nov 23- Thu. 12.0- Fire Tin Corn- Poplar tarius Dec 20 1.0 elius Capri- Saturn Dec 21- Sat. 1.0- Earth Lead Garnet Ash corn Jan 19 2.0 ========================= Correspondencies, Part II ========================= Star Herbs Color No. Body Beasts Place Aspect Sign of Life ====== ============ ======= === ===== ========= ======== ============= Aquar- Fumitory, Trans- 4 legs Horses Wetland Magic, ius Mullien, parent treasure, Barley friendship Pisces Meadowsweet, Blue 10 Feet Fish, Water Religion, Rosehip, Frogs mysticism, Lungwort treachery Aries Rosemary, Green 1 Brain Sheep Hills Combat, Marjoram valor Cowslip Taurus Mint, Thyme Black 6 Head Cattle Fields Health, Tansy endurance Gemini Dill, Violet 11 Chest Deer Woods communic., lavender, gathering, Parsley knowledge Cancer Balm, daisy, Pink 8 Guts Insects, Under- Fortune, Agrimony Shellfish ground madness Leo Bay, Rue Yellow 12 Heart Cats Plains Power, Saffron leadership Virgo Fennel, White 7 Sex Unicorn, Heaths Love, sex, Valerian, Rodents language Savory Libra Dandelion, Red 2 Hips Dogs Towns Peace, Yarrow, Commerce Violet Scor- Basil, Orange 5 StomacScorpion, Deserts War, evil pio Tarragon, Snakes deeds Nettles Sagit- Sage, Grey 3 Arms, Birds, Highland Humor, tarius Samphire, Hands Bats teaching Chervil Capri- Comfrey, Brown 9 Lungs Goats Iceland Death, old corn Sorrel, Beet age, fail
