#muertera practice

Rodolfo's altar. As I said in my last post, Florence went for elevation. Her vessel has been removed.

Tips on muertos! This isn't about graveyards. Find my other post on them!

It IS okay to be apprehensive about being around muertos. In fact, it is expected.

Muertos can only hurt you physically by actually manipulating the physical environment around you. And no, they do NOT do this often unless you have an actual poltergeist - which is rare. Quite rare.

As for thought or emotional manipulation, this is also rare unless you are psychically gifted. But still, most ppl cannot hear muertos, even if gifted.

The easy way to get in touch with muertos is a altar with a large wine glass of water, two white candles (make a pyramid shape out of the water and candles), some Sandalwood incense and a notebook of paper or device you write on. Sit at altar and clear mind noise some, you do not need a blank mind! If you hear something, write/type it. Just think: "Muertos (Dead) come to me. Give me a message from the Otherside. Help me understand you. In peace and in love do I come. Ashè or Amen, So mote it be, It is done." Your choice! Practice daily. A relationship will grow. You can add more water, more candles. Just remember: Flames must be at least one (1) greater than the water for balance. This IS a small form of necromancy, btw. It is *similar* to a boveda but no ancestors are to be kept there. You MUST keep them separate.

Be cordial with muertos. Never yell or be mean to them. You'll regret it.

You can use Ouija boards (this is textbook necromancy) but unless the board is prepared by a knowledgeable necromancer, you'll likely just get gibberish and absolute nonsense. It is not the same as "demonic preparation." Similar things are done with the planchette, but it is MUCH different in technique. The board itself gets changes as well. Prep work takes one moon cycle.

Muertos will haunt you regardless of relationship - Rodolfo haunts me often. Its not dangerous, may spook ya, but it is their way of asserting that you know that they are there. I'm not terribly spooked by him, unless I see him. Its unsettling but I say: "Hi Rodolfo! Nice to SEE you!" I hear him laugh. I say: "Te quiero Rodolfo!!" I do. After knowing him so long, I do love him. Its not the same as how I love my husband. Its casual, like a very good friend.

Jewelry may help you "tune in." Best to wear is Amethyst and Smoky Quartz together. They are good apart too. Tanzanite and Iolite. Shungite - gets rid of EMF - which muertos hate! Black Tourmaline, which is also against EMF, but it also acts as a buffer to help the muerto cross over from different planes of existence. Be wary of Onyx because it has too much negative charge to it. It can anger muertos. Obsidian strengthens the power of the muertos. Tiger Eye causes the muertos to get a hyper charge of energy - when a certain ritual is done to it and is placed with Smoky Quartz. Otherwise, its innocuous. As a powerful symbol of a necromancer, the ankh is the best worn as a necklace on a daily basis.

The vessel is important, if your going into my path of Muerteria. The muerto lives in there. You are pacted with them. The other essential tool is the Baston de Muerto.

Can you break a pact? Depends. A divination session is held. Most important things in Muerteria are sorted out with divination, whether tarot, scrying, or channeling.

Can a muerto "just be with me?" Not long, I'm afraid. Your energy is NOT enough for them to feed on and they will leave. Even just a candle here and there or food isn't enough. They need a lot of water to quench and a lot of flames for sustenance - especially when beginning.

Where can you learn more? My method is on my other blog. Needs updates. Books? None I can recommend. Most books out there have such pussy (excuse my language, its true) material. Garbage. There's a couple, message for recommendation.
