I recently read an exercise by people who just focus on psychic abilities (pk, telepathy, clairaudience, etc.) and not on magickal abilities and it said that the simpliest way to develop pyrokinesis is to light a match and when you're able to mentally snuff it out, imagine the flame re-igniting by visualizing it already lit, just like the visualization done in practicing the finger ritual for fire. So, I'm left wondering. What type of energy does the finger magick ritual utilize? Would it use etheric/astral in a very pk-like manner or does it use the fire element itself to ignite the substance? If it is the fire element, then, is it using ambient fire element floating around in the environment or the condensed fire element within the forefinger? This is also assuming that the practicioner is not focusing on using ambient fire element or the condensed element in his forefinger. Just doing the ritual the way its supposed to be done. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com
