Spell Steps
Step 1: In order to establish a strong physical link to your truth filter, it helps to have an item that triggers one of your senses. A strong taste or smell is a good anchor for this purpose. Choose a food or a scent that creates a strong positive reaction for you. Example: Your favorite perfume, an incense, or a fragrant fruit with a pleasant taste. Once you’ve decided what to use, get the item and be ready to use it in the following steps. (You can choose a negative taste or smell if you wish to create a “lie trigger” instead of a “truth signal.”)
Step 2: Take a few minutes to think about the kinds of feelings you get when you learn the truth about something. Does the experience trigger clarity? Happiness? Security? Once you’ve identified your feelings, find an image that fits those feelings, and have that image on hand and ready to use in the following steps. (An image that creates the negative feelings associated with a lie can be used instead, if that’s your preference.)
Step 3: Gather any other tools that you might want to enhance your intentions. Candles, incense, music, wands, or any other of your favorite additions. Set up these extra tools and prepare for your spell. All these extra tools are optional.
Step 4: Establish whether you want to create a filter that keeps out lies, or a gateway filter that accesses truth. You can approach this etheric construct from either perspective, but your choice will make a difference when you infuse your intention into your construct.
Step 5: Once you’ve chosen your preferred construct, find a quiet place and begin to visualize your etheric filter or gateway. Examples may include: (1) A type of screen that surrounds you and prevents lies from invading your personal space. (2) A gateway that enhances aspects of truth to pass through to you. (3) An etheric device that alerts you to the percentage of truth in the message coming your way.
Step 6: As soon as you’re able to get a strong image of your filter or gateway, eat or smell your chosen food or scent item. Direct your construct to trigger the memory of this smell or taste when truth is being transmitted. (This can also be worked to detect lies. For example, use a negative taste or smell and charge that memory to serve as a sign of a lie.)
Step 7: Charge your etheric construct to surround your personal space and to send you a signal that alerts you to a truth or a lie, depending on your preference. Immediately, look at the image you’ve collected and attach the feelings evoked from that image to the word “truth” or “lie” according to your preference.
Step 8: Now, pronounce a true statement out loud, such as, “my name is . . .” Set that statement as a “marker” for truth. Use the scent or taste and the feeling of the image to charge your construct to implant that vibration of truth into its signal to you. (Do this with a blatant lie if it’s your intention to set up a lie signal instead.)
Step 9: Imagine hearing your name as it comes through your filter or gateway. Let yourself combine the truth of your name with the other trigger/signal elements. (Hear a word or phrase that represents a “lie” if you want to create a lie detector instead.)
Step 10: Take a moment to feel all the signals combined in your physical body. Take note of these feelings, and set the intention that you’ll be able to detect this signal at any future time according to your desire to recognize the vibration of truth or deception.
Step 11: Finish this initial creation spell by holding the image of your construct in your mind for as long as you can. 22 Seconds is ideal. Call up this image several times in the coming days until it’s easy to visualize and use.
Step 12: Take note in your magickal journal how you’re progressing with signal recognition. Notice any new signals, synchronicities, and other triggers that might start to occur. These can be helpful as you refine your relationship to your etheric filter.This is a process that will strengthen the more you use it.
