HEALING MAGIC, PLANETARY FORCES AND OLYMPIC SPIRITS

Arnaud Vincote·Thursday, March 16, 2017

Healing magic is, according to Damon Brand, a form of magic that doesn't work consistently,
that's why he didn't write much about this, he posted an article on his blog called "The Curse of
Health Magic" explaining his views about this.

While I admit that healing magic doesn't always work and probably can't cure the most serious
illness, I did get some results with it! So, I would argue that healing magic, while not always easy,
is something you could take into consideration. Let it be noted that you should always do all the
effort you can to heal, so that means going to the doctor too!

Today, this article shall discuss how one should approach healing magic in a planetary
perspective, so we'll take the Olympic Spirits as an example, not just for explaining, but because I
believe some Olympic Spirits are fit to be evoked in order to heal and armed with Adam's book,
you can experiment!

THE HEALING PLANETS

There are several planets attributed to healing: Mercury, The Sun and Saturn are basically the
three main healing planets.

However, how would one explain that three planets are meant to heal? A single planet
attributed to health wouldn't be enough? The answer is simple: they don't heal the same way.
And you should always choose the most relevant planet for your issue.

Let's see how the first planet heals.

MERCURY, THE DOCTOR, BEARER OF THE CADUCEUS

This one won't be complicated to grasp.

Mercury is the doctor, it's as simple as that, this planet could represent conventional healing in
my opinion, when you or your relatives suffer from common illness, this is the one you should
choose, Mercury heals with an energy easy to perceive and its effectiveness is focused on
resolving health problems the way one would expect. So remember, Mercury is the doctor, when
you think you have an illness that a doctor could treat, you should of course go see a doctor, and
perform a Mercury ritual for extra punch. It is also related to the intellect and mental suffering
since Mercury is strongly tied to intellectual effort.

The Olympic Spirit associated to Mercury is Ophiel, and I did get results with this spirit.

THE SUN, CENTEREDNESS AND HOLISTIC HEALING

The Sun bestow a sense of calm and assertiveness quite significant. In my opinion, The Sun is
about being centered, having a specific mindset, and focuses on the whole being. Centered here
refers to a state where you feel in perfect balance, and able to apply your whole being to
undertake a task or solve a problem, it's a calm, (but intense) focused state of mind.

The Sun is basically all about "Feeling awesome!" having a strong vitality and a thirst for good
experiences. When you have performed a Solar working, if you succeeded, you should be filled
with an energy that makes you enjoy life ten times more than before, but still with a sense of
inner calm.

So, for what problems should one use The Sun? Well it is particularly effective for mental
conditions like depression, sadness, lack of confidence, lack of motivation or interest for life. The
Sun seeks to make the individual whole again, with an inner sense of joy and energy, and can be
used to make yourself "feeling better." Yes, it is mostly psychological, but it also works on energy
and vitality. The Olympic Sprit associated with the sun is Och, I used my Och familiar for well-
being several times, and it gives a great feeling.

SATURN, INHIBITION AND PURGING

Saturn is maybe the most misunderstood of the seven classical planets. Some people fear it
greatly, calling it "The Greater Malefic." While it is true that Saturn has some violent attributions,
it has an even stronger positive side!

Saturn heals generally by inhibition, it renders illness unable to operate, places limits and
boundaries to prevent the sickness to develop, it also has a violent side since it can purge
violently illness out of the body and the soul. It has also been said that Saturn is good for mental
problems such as OCD since Saturn is all about structures and self-discipline.

Use Saturn to heal strong diseases, when you feel you need to inhibit and purge. Use it also for
overwhelming mental issues.

The Olympic Spirit for Saturn is Arathron, maybe my favorite Olympic Spirit! Evoke him or one of
his familiar when you think you need this particular energy.

SOME UNCOMMON CASES

Briefly, I will explain here things about what I would call special or uncommon cases.

Jupiter is said to be able to "support healing operation," maybe it doesn't heal in a direct way,
but it can certainly help. Why? Maybe because Jupiter is about good fortune, expansion, and
growing, so it seems to fit. The Olympic Spirit for Jupiter is Bethor.

Phaleg, the Olympic Spirit of Mars, is said to "Fight disease with vigor." Vigor is clearly a Martial
attribution, but I don't know if "fighting disease with vigor" is a strictly Martial attribution, or a
special attribution for Phaleg, since Olympic Spirit are said to have additional powers than those
of the planets, who knows?

And Lastly Phul, the Olympic Spirit of the Moon is said to be fit to "Easy anxiety and fear." I think
this is a bonus attribution of Phul, more than a specific nature of the Moon.

Here you go! I hope this article gave you perspectives about evoking the Olympic Spirit for
healing.

On a last note, I want to make something very clear: Damon has a point when saying that health
magic doesn't always work, and I will say it again: When you're sick, you should do everything
you could to heal, including getting normal medical help. This article, in no way, implies that
health magic is miraculous!

Keep that in mind, and have fun experimenting!
