   08: Transubstantiation Spell   
      
   	Q: Can you tell me about some good spells to change my   
              hail or eye colour, my sex, sexual preference, or shape?   
      
   	A: what you're asking about is generally referred to as a   
              'nature-change', or 'transubstantiation spell'. it has   
              relatives amongst thaumaturgic (shape-change) and   
              theurgic (communion) operations.   
      
              the question of appearance alteration focusses on two basic   
              variable elements: (1) the image portrayed by any given subject   
              and (2) the perceptual mechanism of a witness to that subject.   
      
               1 -- image   
      
               chameleoning, becoming invisible, appearing to be a   
               part of the background, genericizing to obscurity   
      
               there are spells or formula widely known which conform   
               to one or more of these. typically the formula may call   
               for difficult to acquire and unusual objects that may   
               include extended concentration and attention or wealth.   
      
               several individuals in occult history have mentioned   
               the practice of image-alteration, and this is considered   
               more an illusionist's trick than magic per se. it all   
               depends on how it is done.   
      
               ideally a spell to achieve this would include some kind   
               of chameleoning creature (or a picture of said creature),   
               either static such as a wood-coloured moth, or fluxuating,   
               such as a chameleon itself. further, acquiring clothes   
               which mimick that appearance you desire to acquire would   
               serve your magical interests. if invisibility, then non-   
               descript, given the circumstances. it could as well include   
               objects and material (mood rings, etc.) what tend to change   
               their appearance, especially to blend in.   
      
      
               2 -- mechanism   
      
               manipulation, charming, enchanting, ensorcelling,   
               tying someone, capturing a person, commanding them   
      
               this is more controversial and it is surprisingly easier   
               to acquire spells which are purported to achieve this in   
               perhaps less specific contexts. I'd suggest that in this   
               case, something to cloud the mind such as Poppy Flowers   
               (consider the Wizard of Oz and the Wicked Witch of the   
               West's success). from there you can add material that   
               will support the image you wish to portray, the reaction   
               you wish to obtain.   
      
               where glamour is concerned we're talking about starting   
               with basic lessons in sociological sex conditioning,   
               say, a video course by Desmond Morris on sex and basic   
               human motivation. then you'll need to get some practice   
               by taking a couple of lessons at your local department   
               store in make-up application, hygiene (a mystical   
               background in China has this!), and ettiquette (not so   
               that you *must* conform, but so that you can *use* the   
               flux between appearance and decorum to influence.   
      
              as with other overt manipulation spells of the type that   
              make an appearance in role-playing games and movies,   
              transubstantiation depends upon an underlying flexible   
              physics making matter and its manifestations subject   
              to the manipulation of the proper natural or supernatural   
              forces (e.g. the fabled, if heinous, Black Cat Bone that   
              supposedly gives invisibility to its holder, or the various   
              religious wafer-to-godflesh rituals supposed to convey   
              upon its cannibals transmortem-survival and rejuvenation).   
      
              to my knowledge all of these types of spells are symbolic   
              or pertain wholly to the ASTRAL (i.e. imaginary) plane.   
              various writers have described ways to change one's   
              *perceptions* of oneself in an experience of becoming some   
              other animal, for example (including such controversials   
              as Castaneda and LaVey). this may include the introduction   
              of psychedelics, sleep-deprivation, or intense trancing.   
      
              these trance-induced experiences may have effects similar,   
              subjectively, to actualized transubstantiation, yet their   
              duration is finite and there is always a return to the   
              ordinary consciousness state outside psychosis. for more   
              on how to change interior perceptions of oneself, consult   
              materials on "shape-change" or "theriomorphing". subjects   
              like what is called "shamanism" will sometimes describe   
              the exact method, and sometimes leave it to the experiment   
              of the intrepid adventurer, the Set determining in some   
              measure the nature of the necessary Trigger-change.   
      
               3 - consciousness   
      
               otherwise, the best you may be able to achieve with magic   
               in changing your nature may be a kind of boost whereby   
               your selection of some other behavioural set is given   
               emphasis through repeated focus and identification in   
               rituals so as to attempt revolutionary overthrow of what   
               may have become subroutines in your deep consciousness.   
      
               sometimes a suspension of any of your daily routines and   
               revision of social connections may be necessary supplements   
               to achieve this however (e.g. if you want to change your   
               sexual preferences, hang out more with those who are very   
               firmly aligned with your intended aim, eshewing the company   
               of those who are similar to or who identify you with that   
               from which you are intending to depart; you may also wish   
               to take an extended vacation from your ordinary schedule   
               and then return with a reformatting behavioural set in mind).

   consider that such a pact would achieve something comparable to a spell.   
      
   # and i need $5000.   
      
   that's more workable with magic and with pacts. there are supposed to   
   be spirits who are treasure-finders, for example, though I would think   
   the magician summoning and commanding them would have to be of superior   
   skill, commanding spirit, and expert in the arts necromantic. there are   
   mojo hands and a spectrum of money-drawing magical goods of course.   
      
   in the Lucky Mojo Esoteric Archive I think classed these as 'Green'   
   spells. see
