Working Saturn Into Your Magic
Timings: Moon in Capricorn
- When the moon is in Capricorn, this is another excellent time for black magickal workings.
- Depression, ruthlessness, using people viciously, long-term results. Honors, social standing, responsibility, authority, structure, setting long-term goals and plans for the future. NOT a good time to seek favors from those in authority.
- Magickal workings and spells that feature a time delay or are lasting, wasting, manipulating people, business, banishing.
- Do NOT have surgical procedures performed on the bones/skeletal system, teeth, or knees at this time. This is a “ruthless” moon sign. Workings ruled by the malefic planet Saturn are favored at this time
Tools & Herbs
Wands for the securing of prosperity or for the use in works concerning death can be made from ash wood. For death, infuse with the element of earth when the planet Saturn is strongly placed and waxing. The working should be performed during a waning Moon.
Hemlock:
The oil is good for anointing talismans for destructive work. Talismans should always be infused with power. In addition, one should always know what the symbols mean on any talisman before using it. Hemlock works well with earthy saturnine energies and should only be used with a compatible talisman. The incense can enrage the mind for black magickal workings. Olive leaves can be added to the Hemlock for a more peaceful means of disposing of enemies and hated ones.
Rue:
This herb can be used to stuff a poppet, as it will cause the hated one torment in workings of black magick. The planet Saturn should be strongly placed and waxing. Rue should be infused with the earth element. Ideally, for spells of destruction, the Moon should be waning.
Wormwood can be burnt to summon the spirits of the dead. The balsam is used in black magickal workings for wrath and revenge. Wormwood also induces strong dreams. It is poisonous and should only be ingested in very small amounts. Placing Wormwood in the path of a hated one will cause them bad luck. Wormwood should be infused with the earth element when the planet Saturn should be strongly placed and waxing. The Moon should be waning.
Black candles used in workings of destruction are used to incite the slower destruction of enemies, opposed to accidents or sudden attacks associated with the color red. Black is also a good color to use to bring discord and confusion to enemies. Black can be used for protection, binding negative forces, and breaking up obstacles and blocks. Black can also be used to reverse and break up negative thoughtforms. Black absorbs, conceals, creates confusion and chaos, is used for new beginnings, and obtaining knowledge of hidden things. Black is the container of light, and is one of the most powerful of colors. Saturn rules black. Black influences self-control, endurance, and patience. Spells using black energy are best performed during a waning Moon, on a Saturday when the planet Saturn is strongly placed and waxing. Spells using black need the power of the root chakra.
