First stage of Hands of Air exercise

Beginning the Practise exercise 6

In my particular system of magick and sorcery Air is not regarded as an
element like Fire, Water and Earth. Air is regarded as a process or a linking
vibration, an alchemical substance or force that some alchemists may call
Mercury and/or Quicksilver.
In this exercise we are going to practice Hands of Air the only difference
with this technique as opposed to others is that it should be done in
conjunction with something as, however at this stage because we are just
learning it we will simply concentrate on the technique itself.
[A} Stand facing east with both your right and left hand extended in front of
your, point your fingers upwards, palms facing each other.
[B] Loosely wiggle your fingers on both hands while imagining two cones, one
each going over each of your fingers. As the imaginary cone descends over
your hands, imagine and try to feel a coolness surrounding your hand and
fingers.
[C] As the coolness circulates around your fingers and hands, you notice that
you hands and fingers feel lighter, weightless, as if the fingers and hands want
to rise upwards, towards the point of the cones.
[D] You fingers feel light and they begin to dance a little. They begin to move
like little winds each of them, as the wind or coolness surrounds your entire
hand and fingers within the cone. As they feel lighter and cooler your Hands
of Air slowly rise above your head.
[E] Imagine a Wind coming out from your palm, turning upwards and around to

meet and join with the wind from the Cone.

Second Stage
[F] Your fingers should be pointing vertically upwards, swaying a little, fingers
dancing a little, feeling light and cooler as the astral wind of your palm meets
the astral wind of the Cone.
[G] Pretend that each of your fingers is a twister, a whirl wind.
REPEAT EXERCISE OFTEN
The Hands of Air exercise will especially help you establish a good connection
with both the psychic earth and the psychic sky. Your body (and inner body)
should have begun (and established to a minor degree) the process required to
allow your self to become a conduct for the energies that flow from above to
below. This is what the operation of Quicksilver is about.
Hopefully, you may have felt the occasional surge of energy flowing downwards
from above. If you did this is good.
If you felt energy flowing upwards from the earth to the sky, this is not so
good. If so you need to encourage the flow of energy downwards through your
being. Do this by using your imagination, your will, and your desire.
If you have felt nothing so far, relax and keep working on it. It will come.
Note: This exercise is also used with the Neophyte training syllabus of the Et
Custosi Tutelae Guardian Order. It is however NOT a Guardian exercise, but a
technique personally developed by myself.
