Astral Travel : Take a trip to the astral realm

by Molly Brittain
Astral travel, sometimes referred to as astral projection, is a practice in which the physical body and the astral body separate while you are asleep. This allows your mind to enter the astral realms and will often be described as an, out-of-body experience where the laws of earth no longer apply.  


Many witches choose to take part in the practice as it can offer a wide range of benefits. This process can allow you to attune better with your third eye, improving your divination practices. It can help with decisions and self-discovery. Being open to other realms can often make it easier for you to receive guidance you might otherwise have been shut off from. This practice may guide you to the right path.

 

Astral Projection Ritual: Step by step 

Firstly, astral projection is a skill that can take months if not years to achieve. Even those who do manage may later decide the experience is not for them so please only do what feels right to you.  

 

 

  1. Firstly, you must find a space you feel completely calm in with as little interference from the outside world as possible. Brew a cup of sleepy tea and sip slowly. Take your flying ointment and place a few drops into a bowl so the aroma fills the room.  

  2.  Warm or cool your wheat bag and place it on your third eye. Lie back, relax, and begin to enter a sleep state. 

  3. Stay conscious as you feel yourself begin to relax and focus all your energy on your inner self forgetting any physical sensations associated with your body. 

  4. As you do this repeat, in your mind only, the astral travel chant we have provided. You should fall into a hypnotic state. Some describe a tingling sensation at this point.

  5.  Now, one limb at a time starting with the tips of your toes visualise yourself leaving your physical body. Imagine each part of you is as light as a cloud and can easily begin to float with total weightlessness. 

  6. You will remain tethered to your physical body by an energy thread which some call the ‘silver cord’. After you return to your body and awake, immediately write down anything you saw or felt in your dream journal while it is fresh in your mind.  

A note for witchcraft adepts: Some astral travel adepts can combine divination with astral projection during an OBE (out-of-body experience). Try this by journeying into the astral plane and then wandering until you receive insights or visions.
