Marking or imprinting

I recently sent a friend a article about a mojo bag for help with quitting smoking.

This has triggered a need to produce a page about charmed items or bags of intent.

I was raised in the older ways, i guess sympathetic magick or putting items to thought for manifestation has always been drilled into my head.

I remember people (friends) coming to my Mother, with a need, a intent, a request for  their lives.

They would need a car, or a home or better health, etc. They were real needs for real people.

My Mother's way was a tad different then most book learned or coven taught pagans.

She had been taught in the old way of marking.

Here is an example i learned young, lol of marking.

Marking is a action of actually touching and marking an object or subject with your personal energy.

One day an old friend came to visit my Mom out of the blue.

Most people simple showed up at the door, appointments weren't the way back then,lol.

Jayne needed to move, the house she was living in was being sold and she had two young kids, she needed to move fairly fast.

She came to my Mom because she knew Mom was a marker.

She had found a house she liked, but the man who owned it was kinda old and weird lol, so she wanted Mom to mark or imprint the house for her, so she would get it.

There were others with applications in for the house as well.

Per usual, i went along with Mom and jayne to lancaster to "see" the house.

My Mom didnt use props, she was very old school, very basic, very free form, in her workings.

She believed in the ability to influence situations or items with energy and faith.

She also believed if something were meant to be, it would happen. The Universe provides.

So off we went to see this house jayne needed.

As we drove, my mom would ask questions of jayne.

I had already learned this was part of the imprinting experience, so i kept quiet as they talked.

Mom would ask questions about the need for the object.

To verfiy if the need was real.

To verify the subject's intent (jayne's).

To feel it out totally and to get into the mind set required to be in the flow.

Basically to lay the ground work for marking.

Jayne's intent and need were real and verified thru their conversation.

I can honestly say i learned my basic ground work in my ways, from my Mother and her old ways.

To me, her ways were actually in hindsight very progressive!

No need for bells and whistles, no need for grand rituals or tributes.

Her way worked on the basic premise that need and intent were required for action.

she also believed in absolute faith that the Universe or God would provide for those who asked and required help.

To put action to thought is a triggering mechanism required to activate the universal flow.

The flow is constant!

It is always present and active!

It is required for us to acess the flow and to trigger our resonance with it to tap into it!

My Mother's energy was very similar to my own now.

I am convinced both of my parents were both dragon souls.

My father chooses to deny it, he is a lutheran, go figure, lol.

My Mother embraced it, and worked with it, considering it a obligation to help others.

As I do now.

As we pulled up to the two story house, i watched as my mom looked intently at the house, not speaking.

Jayne was already used to my mom and her ways , so stayed silent too .

We waited until mom got out of the car.

As we joined her, she said simply, we need to walk around the house.

So glancing around for neighbors, lol ,we started up the stairs. The house sat up on a hill, acessed by stone steps, each step, mom's hand touched each spot on the railing.

She stood looking at the porch , making observations .

"You could put some pots of impatients along the edge of the porch, that would look pretty"

or

"You will need heavy drapes for the winter, with all those windows in the living room"

Not if you get the house, but when was implied.

All words were in the future or now state.

Belief  is certain.

Visualisation is key to manifestation of energy from thought to form or substance!

As we walked around the house, mom would pause to touch a stone or the foundation or a window, making comments, asking questions once more about the need for the house.

it usually would take about ten minutes or so for her to wander the whole area, the whole yard.

It was important to walk the whole boundary, from the front to the back, around to the start once more.

It was like marking a territory to her i am thinking, lol.

Needless to say. jayne was notified the next day, and moved in four days later.
