I have curiously always had at least one magickally empowered item in my wardrobe. Usually it is a cloaky-capey thing, or a dress that is kinda cloaky. At the moment, I have a cloak that is kinda like a dress.
I actually didn't realise that I empowered certain articles of clothing, until one day I lost my cloak on an airplane. I was coming back from the Bahamas and promptly got loaded on the plane. I could have misplaced it, but I was thinking...how exactly does one loose anything on a plane - an enclosed area with minimal exits? I kinda freaked, which wasn't good because I had to go through customs. They don't look kindly upon drunk, hysterical women chanting "My cloak!, my cloak!...I empowered that shit man! They've stolen my soooouuuul!!" Yes, I was searched. I hae been known to over react, especially when drunk. *ahem*
This was enlightening for me though, because I realised how much energy (read: mojo baby!) I had put into this article of clothing. When it quite literally *disappeared* I felt like I had lost a finger or some valuble limb.
This is now a tradition of mine. I always have one article of clothing empowered. I usually wear this article of clothing the most out of anything I have until it is a rag or it is lost. It is my "uniform". In it, I am protected. I am enhanced and more focused. If I loose it or it is stolen, or even ragged beyond repair, I don't freak anymore. I look at it like I am moving on, transforming. It is more like molting, shedding my old skin. A new item always seems to pop up soon enough afterward and take it's place.
Sometimes people instinctually feel the empowerment I give my special article. I had a girl at work in a panic because she wanted to buy my cloak so bad. She offered me all kinds, but I wouldn't part with it, (not yet anyway). I realised she was a witch also and I could "see" her knowing. Finally I told her, looking directly into her eyes, unblinking, "Yes, I empower my shit." (Crass I know, but this is how the girls talk in the changeroom)She left me alone, anyway.
I am not much for jewelery. I use a gold ring for dreaming and a pentacle I can put talismans into the back of.
Boots are always magickal for me. I can't explain.
I'll have to ponder that beyond, I like boots...bleh |
