The magus is their own source of power, essentially being a catalyst for change. Still, there comes the particular effect that if a magus expends too much of their own energy (be it by the name of Prana, Qi, Aethyr etc.), they may suffer detriment in the form of mental, emotional or physical hurt. This is not to say that a magus cannot develop their own personal force in order to affect change on their own capacity while mitigating the effects of draining. In fact, the more you practice witchcraft and develop your faculties, you may find yourself being able to affect changes without the need for materials. None-the-less, the magus still has the ability to draw upon forces outside of themselves in order to empower their own force and the force of their magick. A great bit of these forces to tend to be deific or personified but there are just as many, if not more, primordial or secular energies. In the words of a wise person, why should I be obligated to put a face to the energy I work with.

Secular Sources of Power that the magus can draw upon include:

Herbs and plant materials

Crystals, rocks and other curios.

The sexual force of the magus and the products thereof.

The force of the magus based in their emotion.

The force of the magus based in their Wod (Inspiration) the Unbridled Desire for a goal to be obtained.

The magus's force found in the servitors created by the magus.

The energy latent in areas such as graveyards (Death Force), Oceans, Forests, Crossroads, Churches (bearing a particular energy), rivers, particular trees, holy wells.

The energy latent in astrological events - meteor showers, eclipses, the usages of fixed, muteable and moveable signs, the 12 signs, the fixed stars, the constellations, the planets etc.

The energy latent in metereological events - rain, thunderstorms, snow, violet storms, snow, mist, high wind, low wind.

The energy latent in timing - planetary days/hours, weekdays having particular hours, a woman's period, the birthday, sunrise, sunset, midday, midnight, upon waking, upon sleeping, during one's birthday etc.

The energy in the blood.

The energy latent in the overwhelming of the senses (to obtain a deep trance useful to particular types of magick, like the orgasm but without the orgasm).

The energy apparent in the four elements (earth, air, fire, water, bone, clay, candle, incense, wines, philtres etc.)

The energy lateny in sounds and musics - playing certain songs before, after and/or during rituals in order to obtain the right mind for the spell.

The energy of ritual - repetition, the more that a gesture, ritual, spell is done - the more cemented it becomes in the magus's mind as effective.

The energy of symbols, signs and marks - including Kameas, handmade sigils, Runes, Ogham, Alchemical Symbols.

Mercury entered its home sign of Gemini at 3:00 this morning (EDT) so a quick little spell today would be a sweet little road opener:

1 yellow or orange candle (if you use color magic, do what you want obvs)

olive oil

powdered lemongrass, vervain, or chickory

coffee or chickory coffee as an offering

Make a cup of coffee and offer it to Mercury in a way that is consistent with your practice

carve the astrological symbol for Mercury or the symbol for the intelligence of Mercury onto your candle

Anoint with a small amount of olive oil and roll the candle in the powdered herbs (alternatively, place your herbs around the candle) - remember fire safety here! small amounts and very finely powdered is best if they are going on your candle

Invite Mercury into your space and speak aloud (yes, this is important here - Mercury rules speech) your desire to have a clear path in front of you

Light your candle and perform your magic as you would for your practice.

This practice can be done any time that Mercury stations (either forward or retrograde) or when Mercury enters a new sign, but is especially effective when Mercury enters its home signs of Gemini and Virgo, when Mercury enters YOUR Mercury sign, or when Mercury enters a new sign on a Wednesday.
