Working the Psalms

My experience with spiritualism began with a Gideon bible when I was about 10 years old. I had taken it from a nightstand in a motel that my grandpa and grandpa and I stayed in while traveling back home to the Gulf. It had a green plastic cover textured to look like leather-and I kept it. I remember asking my grandma if it was free and her replying "I'm sure they won't mind". I still have it to this day. It was the first bible I had ever had or read, and it felt weird keeping it. It was something sort of new and secret. Anything that small must be for putting away in a special place.




The bible were not pushed in my household as I was raised to choose a belief for myself and without the need of doctrines in worship. This gave me confidence a practitioner as I only had myself to answer to and there were no doubts of doing anything "wrong" in my worship.




Several years later I found a pamphlet about using the Psalms in magical workings...and the pieces began to fall together. It all just melted together...




The word psalms is derived from the Greek Ψαλμοί (Psalmoi), perhaps originally meaning "music of the lyre" or "songs sung to a harp" and then to any piece of music. From psallein "play upon a stringed instrument" and then to "make music in any fashion".




The Psalms are poetry, songs to be used as praise, worship, and affirmation of goals and aspirations. By incorporating them in your practice you obtain extremely detailed help in many areas. They fit in wonderfully with spiritual practices and the art of hoodoo, as well as many other magical systems. They can be easily used by the beginner or novice and provide a tremendous amount of energy and aid to workings. Simply set an altar with two appropriate colored candles for your intent, dress them with a corresponding oil, and recite the proper Psalm for your concern. You can begin on the corresponding day as well and I recommend doing this same ritual each day for a week at least. I have recited Pslams for months before with remarkable results.
