What is an invocation?
Invocation means “to call upon”. Invocations are a way to focus our intention. It allows us to awaken and re-awaken our innate knowledge of the eternal presence of deities. It opens a channel of communication and communion between a deity and ourselves. Invocations support us to access the divinity within, and connect us to the infinite source of sacred magic available to us all. It is through evoking higher spiritual powers that humans come to true realization of what they are in essence: eternal spiritual beings. When you invoke a god or goddess, you are invoking part of yourself. You are communicating with a part of you that is divine
Sacred adornment
Our jewelry transcends simple adornment; it becomes a vessel of sacred energy and mystical power. It has been energetically charged and blessed within a ceremonial space by a Priestess initiate, activating it as a potent portal for connection to the energy or deity it represents. As you begin wearing your new jewelry, you may already sense its subtle yet profound energetic presence.
Should you desire a deeper connection and an enhanced experience of its spiritual benefits, consider performing an invocation. This sacred act will deepen your bond with the inherent power it holds and align you with the essence of the sacred symbol or deity it encapsulates. We are divine beings, and have the ability to connect with the spiritual realms, our higher selves, and sacred deities. These deities are not separate from us, but instead aspects of ourselves. The qualities and characteristics that we attribute to these deities are present within us, waiting to be awakened and utilized. We are not separate from the divine - we are divine.
As you wear your jewelry, embrace the knowledge that you are in communion with the potent energy it carries, invoking the divinity within and awakening transcendent potential.
Sacred Ritual
How to perform an Invocation
- Set up a sacred space. This can be as simple as lighting a candle in a quiet part of the house, or as elaborate as creating an entire altar dedicated to the deity or energy you want to invoke. Place the jewelry on your altar or sacred space.
- Cleanse the space. You may want to cleanse and purify the space by smoke purification, lighting incense, or using other purification rituals that resonate with you.
- Set your Intention. Clearly state your intention for the invocation, and why you want to connect with this energy or deity. Take a few moments to connect with your intention and focus your mind.
- Center Yourself. Ground and center yourself through deep breathing, meditation, or any other practice that helps you feel present and focused. Quiet your mind and open your heart to receive the energy you are invoking.
- Invocation. You can read the invocation that comes with your jewelry, or you may wish to craft your own. Speak aloud, and with sincerity and reverence.
- Visualization and Connection. Visualize the presence of the deity or energy you are invoking. Imagine them surrounding you with their divine energy and light. Feel a connection growing between you and the invoked presence, allowing yourself to be open and receptive to their guidance and influence.
- Express Gratitude. Conclude the invocation by expressing gratitude for the presence and blessings received. Offer thanks to the deity or energy for their guidance, support, and connection. You can use the closing line in the accompanying invocation to offer gratitude.
Invocations are a sacred and personal practice. Trust your intuition, follow your own spiritual beliefs, and adapt these guidelines to align with your unique connection to the divinity within.
