Here at Practical Occult we endeavor tirelessly to provide helpful, actionable and, most importantly, functional advice, training and treasures to our discerning individuals. Putting real magic in the hands of people is the key to helping them have better, even wonderful, lives. To this end I thought I’d discuss something directly that I often mention in interviews and on podcasts and a thing I’ve spoken about with many clients and all of my students (all of whom will tell you I hammer this spell into their minds to great effect) by this point.
It’s time to talk Road Openers!
In this mercurial age where the internet matters more and more, where interpersonal connections are created and destroyed every moment of every day, a spell to forge paths and portals to what you desire is not just important, it’s crucial. Let me reiterate… Road Openers are mission critical in 2025 and beyond.
Jobs that were outright promised to you can be snatched away by fickle circumstances. Your efforts at finding love can be stymied by constantly being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Your health journeys can be met with failure because the right info, the right doctors or the right allies are simply impossible to locate. In short, you can just arrive too late. The roads can be closed to you.
Luckily for you, I’ve got your back.
So, how does one open some roads? Many methods exist from the use of Road Opening oils to the petitioning of various spirits. A simple way to get started will be detailed below.
Get yourself five tea light candles, four skeleton keys, a plate or other fire-proof surface (don’t burn your house down, friends) and a petition of the roads you desire to be opened to you. Wait for a Wednesday, ideally during the hour of Mercury, and call upon either Mercury himself, Hermes, St. Peter, Ganesh or whatever path-finding spirit you like to work with. Ask for the roads to be opened to everything on your petition. Ask that the skeleton keys, displayed in an X around the central candle (which you should enchant to represent yourself), to unlock the ways for your desires to find you in your life. Your four additional tea-lights should be burned at the outer points of each key.
Consider leaving an offering of water or incense for the spirits you call. Perform this spell once a month (or once a week if you’re ambitious) and watch the wishes roll into your life.
The ingredients aren’t expensive. The process is relatively quick. This spell is simple, affordable and accessible to anyone of basically any tradition and it pays off in dividends if made a regular part of one’s practice.
