Introduction
This excerpt, which has been taken from the book “Initiation
into Hermetics” by Franz Bardon, reveal something very interesting about water.
The excerpt tells us that water like all other liquids has a
magnetic or attractive property, and it is this property that can be quite
useful to a human being.
The second excerpt shows us how we can make use of this
magic magnetic property of water.
Excerpt 1
“Water plays one of
the most important parts, not only in daily life, being absolutely indispensable
for drinking, preparing food, washing, producing steam in factories, etc., but
also in our magic development; the water element may prove to be a great factor.
As we have already stated in the theoretical part, the watery element rules magnetism
or the attractive force, and it is just this property that we shall utilize in
the development of our faculties. All the books dealing with the animal
magnetism, emanation of od and so on are acquainted with the fact that water
can be magnetized or od-ized. But it is far less known how to enlarge this
quality or use it in a different way. Not only water but every kind of liquid
has the special property of attracting, and according to the contraction,
holding fast, no matter whether good or bad influences be concerned. Therefore
we may consider the watery element, especially the material kind of it, as an
accumulator. The colder water is, the greater its accumulative capacity. With
its full specific weight, namely at 39° F (4° C) above zero, it is most
responsive. This notion is not so decisive, for the difference of receptivity
of water (or other liquids) up to 43° F (6° C) above zero is so insignificant and
so faintly visible that only a thoroughly trained magician can recognize these differences.
If by increase of heat, water grows lukewarm, its receptivity is rapidly diminishing.
Between 7-99° F (36-37° C) it becomes neutral to magnetism. Attention! Here,
our only concern is with the specific properties of the attractive power and
its practical value with respect to magnetism which results from the
interaction of the elements as an undeniable matter of fact.”
Excerpt 2
“Now let us regard the
magic of water from the practical side. Every time you are washing your hands,
think intensely that by washing, not only do you wipe the dirt off your body,
but also the uncleanliness from your soul. Think of failure, trouble, dissatisfaction,
illness and the like being washed off and turned over to the water. If possible,
wash yourself under the tap so that the dirty water can run off immediately, and
at this moment think that your weaknesses are flowing off with the water. If
you have nothing but a washbowl at your disposal, do not forget to throw away
the used water immediately, so nobody else can contact it afterwards. You can
also dip your hands into cold water for a little while, and concentrate on the
magneto-astral attractive force drawing all weaknesses out of your body and
your soul. Be firmly convinced that all failures are passing into the water.
You will be surprised at the success of this exercise after a short time. This
water also is to be thrown away at once. This exercise is extraordinarily
effective if you can manage it in the summer while bathing in a river, when the
whole body (except for the head, of course) is beneath the water.”
Summary
Water has a magnetic and attractive property that lends
itself to magical use. Furthermore the attractive or magnetic property of water
is greatest when water is at a temperature of 4°C.
By thinking intensely of having our weaknesses and short
comings drawn out of our body and psyche, while washing or bathing ourselves in
cold water, we Franz Bardon says can help ourselves to clear our body and
psyche (soul) from such weaknesses.
I have tried it and it certainly does do something.
