Working Rituals Outdoors
Locating Areas of Power
There is a lot to be said for performing rituals and magic outdoors.
The earth energies act to enhance one’s inner energy and ability.
A quiet place should be selected where one is free from distractions.
Using a pendulum to locate an area can also be of some help.
One should be adept with pendulums as they can give "off" readings to those who are less experienced.

One should be adept with pendulums as they can give "off" readings to those who are less experienced.
To use a pendulum, open a map of the area in which you wish to use and point with a pencil, pen or whatever to specific locations on the map, asking the pendulum whether or not the specific location would be supportive of your workings.
You can also ask the pendulum where the most powerful earth energies are located.
Take your pendulum to the spot and walk around.
If intense earth energies are present, your pendulum will begin to circle.
Over really potent spots, it will nearly circle so fast, it will go into a spin.

Using Stone Circles
Stone circles are ideal for enhancing earth energies and for a place to build your psychic energies and powers.
The color of the stones is important (see the chapter on color).
Using brown stones will amplify the earth energy to be directed into your working.
Brown stones will also amplify your psychic ability and attract earth spirits.

Ritual Procedure
-
You should begin by marking your area and placing your stones around the marked area.
- There should also be four points within your circle where you will invoke the Four Crowned Princes of Hell (and invoke the four elements for advanced mages).
- These four points should correspond to directions as you would for a standard ritual. Lighted candles should be at the four points.
- There should also be four points within your circle where you will invoke the Four Crowned Princes of Hell (and invoke the four elements for advanced mages).
-
You can also invite Demon friends into the circle with you.
- You should be able to feel their presence, or for those of us who are advanced, to see them in the circle with you.
- After you have assembled your circle and are ready to begin, it is important to breathe in form the earth and visualize a powerful electric blue light coming up from your feet and into your hand, holding the athame.
- Point the athame, direct the light to the tip, and mark your circle, visualizing the blue light and drawing a counterclockwise circle with it.
-
The energies raised need to be directed to your specific goal.
- When they peak, gather them into a glowing ball or other form of your choosing, send the form on its way with instructions, and visualize the energy penetrating your target.
- When you are finished, blow out the candles, north, then west, south then east.
- Using your index finger pointing, erase all of the blue light of the circle, moving clockwise in a smooth, slow sweep.
- Thank your Demon friends (if you had any accompany you) and scatter the stones.
You can also use the power of a stone circle to meditate in.
This will act to enhance your energy.
Meditation can be done sitting or lying down. Use the blue light for all of your workings.
The Four Cardinal Points
Each cardinal point is not only associated with a specific Demon/ess, but also with an element, ritual tool, color and quality.
The four directions of the earth are not only spiritual, but scientific in the way of how they align earth energies with magnetism and gravitational pull.
By facing a certain direction and connecting with the energies, one can amplify power.

North
The north has always been known as a source of great power.
The “heavens” revolved around the North Star.
The ancient peoples aligned their temples with this star.
The sun never touched the cardinal point north.
It was associated with darkness, mystery and the unknown.
Because of the Pagan reverence for north, the Christian Church associated it with the Devil.
Graveyards were seldom, if ever placed on the north side of a church.

Graveyards were seldom, if ever placed on the north side of a church.
The north side was used for:
- unbaptized children
- criminals
- reprobates
and suicides.
Many churches throughout Europe have a north door called “the Devil’s door” which was traditionally opened after baptisms to,
“let the exorcised Demon escape.”
Most of these doors have been long since bricked up.
The north is associated with:
- the element of earth
- the new phase of the moon
- the pentagram
- darkness
- secrecy
and the color black.
Some people align their altars to the north.
South
Solar energy, the Sun, the color red, the magic wand and the element of fire are associated with the south.
This is the quarter of the will, directing and channeling the psychic energy and forces of nature.
Water running south has long been known to have magickal properties and was a popular ingredient that medieval witches used in their spells.
The south represents intellect and knowledge and attainment as the Sun reaches its climax in the southern sky [for northerners anyway].

East
The east is the quarter of illumination, enlightenment, the mystical, and the eternal.
It is of the element of air, the athame, the color silver, and the morning star, which is Lucifer’s star.
In most traditions, the altar is aligned to the east.
When a circle is cast for a coven, the High Priest/ess usually positions the gate for everyone to enter in, at the northeast.
As the Sun rises in the east and the Sun is very important in Satanism, as it is of the all-important solar chakra 666 of the soul, facing east is important for many rituals.
The direction east has the most power, especially in the early morning hours right before the Sun rises.

West
The element of water represents the subconscious, emotions, the chalice, the color blue, and the psyche.
It rules over:
- mediumship
- spirit contact
- telepathic communication
West is a good direction to face when working to rid yourself of something or for diminishing things, as the Sun sets in the west and this creates a gravitational pull upon the earth, similar to the phases of the moon with a waning moon.
