Weaving Webs
by David Rankine
The Mantra Web is a very simple and effective technique for using
sonics in a group. Choose a mantra with a number of syllables
corresponding to the numbers of operators, eg. IAO for 3 people. The
operators should link hands, left palm up and right palm down, and
slowly start to circle clockwise, each vibrating their syllable. As
this is done the operators should each project a thread of light
from their Solar Plexus (Manipura chakra) to a central focal point.
The color(s) of the threads of light should be determined before
the operation according to its purpose and the current beliefs of
the operators. As the speed and resonance of the mantra is built up
over a period of time, so the web is empowered, until a climax is
reached and the web energy directed by a pre-specified operator to
its purpose. This is just a sketchy outline of the technique, which
obviously can be used for much more than this. Some of the more
common uses for this technique include healing (with the individual
in the center at the focus, crystals would also boost the energy
levels); sexual magick (with operator(s) in the center and, if
possible, the climax timed accordingly); empowering sigils, and so
on.
If the operators vibrate their syllable alternately instead of
together, the mantra will spin around the circle and have a
positively disorienting effect on the operators.
It is important that the operators visualize their thread of light
continuously, and not just when vibrating their mantra syllable. I
particularly recommend this technique for outdoor use, especially at
suitably aspected power sites. However, if you are using a stone
circle or any other site of magick, please do think about what
aspects the site has, and preferably visit beforehand to achieve
some rapport with the site.
