To illustrate the idea and method, a number of pre-made Latin Squares for different goals and circumstances are presented. These have been thoroughly tested and are ready to be crafted and used to improve one’s life.

Now let us look into the task of how to craft and charge the newly composed squares so that they become not just pieces of paper, but actual working artifacts of power. Each Latin Square is created on a specific day and hour according to its purpose. Though the Latin Squares as such aren’t planetary by their nature, their action still conforms to the influences of the planets (as does almost everything in this sublunary sphere). So it makes a lot of sense to find out which planet presides over the goal of your Square, and craft it during the time when the influence of that planet is the strongest.

Ancient magick is supposed to be discovered in forbidden vaults of sinister occult lodges, musty darkness of monastery dungeons, or at least in closely guarded private collections of manuscripts. This one was found in a dumpster. Source material which became the foundation for this system of magick was reconstructed from handwritten notes on the margins in a hundred-year-old edition of Papus, a photocopy of which had been found in a pile of discarded old books somebody left by a trash container. This story may be true or fictitious, it does not matter: the magickal technology is real and it is good. A set of about a dozen Latin Square talismans had been tested over a period of a year and was found to bring consistent and repeatable results for a broad range of goals, from manipulating circumstances to altering beliefs and personality traits. And notably, neutral character combined with stunning simplicity and zero need for maintenance make it an ideal supporting magick for a more direct and active system, such as based on Goetia or Shem work.

Here is yet another modern folk magick spell to get rid of things you don’t want in your reality, this time employing the power of the Water element. Although not very fast, it’s extremely simple and doesn’t require any magickal abilities or training. Only common household supplies like soap and a bucket of water are needed.

If the magickal practice (rituals, talismans, divination and so on) does not lead to noticeable changes in life — on the material level, literally — then there is a very high probability (almost certain) that it is not a magickal practice, but an exercise in self-delusion. Mistakes, wrong decisions, dud rituals, etc naturally do happen, as with any complex activity that demands knowledge, skill, intuition and special conditions; but nevertheless the big general picture is simple: if there are no obvious and measurable results — there is no magick. Leaving aside the straightforward material things (like finding a bag with a millon dollars in cash after a money ritual), the insights, coincidences and synchronicities, improvements in character and personality, desired psychological states — are all valid and tangible magickal results. They may appear not right away, nor after a day, nor after a month. But they must manifest if everything had been done properly.

The idea of “magick as pure art” or “rituals for the sake of spiritual growth”, etc is popular in certain circles. Of course, it’s all great, and in a very broad view of the subject it certainly does add color and flavor to reality. But on a more serious note, such “magick” is nothing more than an elaborate but useless toy, or as some would say, mental masturbation. Wasted effort.
