While witnessing and participating in Mayan rituals, I observed something that immediately resonated with my own path: the offering of sound as a spiritual gift. In these sacred ceremonies, sound was not simply an aesthetic choice — it was a living offering, a bridge to spirits and deities.
This reminded me of something I had been doing for years without naming it — offering music, instrument playing, and singing as ritual gifts to the unseen. What began as a personal intuition grew into a central spiritual-musical practice that has profoundly shaped my growth as a musician and ritualist.
A Shift Through Offering
There was a time when I struggled to break through certain barriers in my instrumental development. Despite practice, something was missing — until I began playing for a purpose greater than myself.
When I was younger, I practiced Shikantaza, a Zen meditation technique rooted in stillness and pure presence. It’s a stripped-down practice, free of mysticism, rich in silence. But at one point, I began taking my guitar into these meditative states. And something shifted.
Suddenly, melody came more naturally. Musical expression flowed without effort. This was the moment I realized that true mastery in playing comes not only from technical repetition, but from having a reason to play!
I felt that I was no longer just a musician — I was becoming an occult music composer, shaping sound into something devotional and magickal.
From Practice to Ritual
Since that breakthrough, my relationship with instruments has changed completely. I began consciously offering my sound to deities, spirits, and elemental forces. I’ve built a personal practice of what I call musical prayer — not to seek attention or perfection, but to enter into connection.
The result? Unintended but powerful outcomes:
- Feeling quickly at home with instruments like the Bansuri flute
- Gaining confidence and flow with the Kamanche
- Becoming an intuitive, self-taught vocalist — not by learning technique, but by singing for Spirit
- Channeling emotion and trance through Witchcraft music and ritual ambient soundscapes
This is the essence of my path: sound as an offering, spirit as guide, music as Magick.
Music as Magick
As I’ve walked the path of magick music, my identity has deepened — not just as an artist, but as a witchcraft music composer, an esoteric music practitioner, and someone who honors the power of sound in spiritual transformation.
I do not approach music only as entertainment or performance. I approach it as ritual technology, as witchcraft, as magickal invocation.
Final Thoughts
I believe many musicians feel blocked because they lack a reason to play that touches the soul. For me, that reason came through spirituality — through the realization that music can be a magickal offering, a form of occult ritual, meditation, a method of healing, summoning, connecting.
This is why I now walk the path of ritual music!
