So you found ways that bless the water by a higher power without blessing it by a higher power? That seems kind of contradictory.
What do you add that blesses the water?
In Pantheriaa's recipe she called for;
Lighted white candle for fire,
White candle for air,
Cup of rain water for the water,
Plate of salt for Earth,
Incense and burner for spirit.
She also had a blessing for the holy water, which I believe is the cause of it becoming holy water. I read the prayer and timed myself, it was no more nor less time then any other basic prayer. Naturally the length of time depends on the speed it's read, but my point is she had a blessing for the water.
a blessing from a higer forse is not alwas needed...I mix mine with blessed salt. With my energy, then hince we did not need a higher forse to bless it. I use a chant and since magick is a way of reinstructing energy for a need. The three fold law or Karma means that what ever you do it will come back to you since you are alwase sinding out energy to the universe and it will eventualy come back to you. Enlese you burn it (what I do) or keep pushing the energy back. Ragnorick you need to learn that you are not alwase right. I know that I am not and I will say when I am wrong.
If holy water isn't blessed by
a divine force (and this is
done by performing rituals
and/or praying) then it isn't
holy water. It can't be more
simple. Wasted check your
sources (again).
Then say it, Wasted. Every recommended recipe for Holy Water involves two main ingredients;
1: of course, the water that will become holy.
2: A BLESSING to holify the water.
Adding just salt and a psi ball only makes energized salt water. You can get that from the ocean.
I forgot to add; the recipes that aren't recommended aren't recommended because they don't work as well.
And here's me admitting I was wrong; I thought I could teach you what I know.
(please note that this is not me saying you are wrong about everything, this is me saying you refuse to listen)
I use a blessing. Holy is defined by people. Who said I use PSI I use chi and somethimes ki. It works for me, relly well. So who knows what I am doing right but it works. I use chants with energys from the blessed salt. Dignifing that of a blessing before. Look at Luzifers post. He does what I do. It works for him and it works for me.
I used psi as an example. I actually prefer to use chi for things like that too, but whatever. If it works for you then use it, I was just curious about what makes it HOLY water when a higher power didn't holify it. Read Faust's post, he's right. I'm not trying to get you to do anything different, just was curious.
As for Luzifer's post, I know. But adding your energy to the water just adds energy to it, adding salt just adds salt. Adding blessed salt means it's water with blessed salt. If it works then that's fine, as long as it works it's good, but just because it works doesn't mean it's holy. If that were the case then I'm about to get out of my holy chair, walk through the holy door, to the holy fridge, grab a holy Pepsi, and back to the holy chair to listen to holy music on the holy computer. See what I mean? That's just plain ridiculous.
Holy, perhaps, is a matter of opinion and I would have to do more research on Hindus to find out why they see cows that way, but it may be they see cows as a blessed animal. I know there is a country that see sheep the same way. Another thing to remember is that there is a difference between holy and sacred, if they see cows as sacred that would make a big difference.
