The Chronicle's Tales

My interest in gollums started with reading the Jewish mythos of the creation of the gollum. This was near the beginning of my spiritual awakening and I had some success with creating effective gollums.

I recently started practicing gollum Magick again and was told by a peer, a totem magic master, that she could see and feel the energy in him (pictured above)

So what is gollum magick anyways? You can find gollums made of a slew of varying media, such as clay, glass, metal, wood, etc.

What do they do? It depends on the intent of the creator. I have made gollums for a variety of purposes. One thing a gollum can do is be a vessel for a spirit, wight, deity, etc. They can come and go from it as they please. I use this variety for communing with different spirits. Then there is protection gollums. These ones are filled up with my own energy under the intent of protection. I typically place these in a line protecting my space. Even though they are my own spirit they still have some autonomy though much more limited then the vessel variety of gollum. This is not a comprehensive list, and you can make a gollum with any intent you would like.

What are the dangers? If you don't know where your energy starts and end you run risk of becoming the vessel yourself, losing your sense of self, and potentially leading into true insanity.

Who can make gollums? Anyone can! Some people may have a natural talent for it but it can be a learned skill. Like any other learned skill you have to practice to develop it

Hamingja is the magic you are born with, a finite amount bestowed upon you at birth by the Norns. Everyone is gifted different amounts. Some people run through theirs in just a few years while others have it last their whole lifetime. Theres no way to know how much you were born with or how much you have left. But once you become aware of it and learn to control its use then you can more mindfully go through your stores. Once it's gone, it's gone for good.

Megin, on the other hand, is earned magic. It almost mimics reputation and is gained by being true to your word, upholding oathes taken, and doing favors for spirits/gods/wights/etc. If you wish to work with spirits and wights, then building up megin is very important as you need more megin in order to work with more powerful wights. Megin, from my own understanding, is basically the equivalent of reputation in the spirit realm. The more you can prove yourself reliable the more likely these spirit entities will be willing to work with you.
