Sicut veritas (latin) means only the truth or Truth Only and it is an inscription used on a mirror ritual I developed based on a more "older" ritual from romanian culture.In the magical world, in the world that we cannot define solely through the five senses, the mirror possesses properties that exceed the simple reflection of an image.
We know that in the physical realm, a mirror can reflect a laser beam, the surroundings, a ray of light... but light is more than the visible spectrum, what we humans can perceive with our eyes.In the same context, the mirror also reflects other types of energies, vibrations, and spectra less known, less scientifically documented in public.
The mirror is a portal, it receives energy, information from the outside, and reflects it back but not exactly as it receives it.
How to use?
Print on textile, paper or draw with chalk because it is a sacred space.
Place your square or round mirror in the center of the blue triangle and not anywhere else. Two lit candles on each side as visually defined by the alchemy symbol of wax and fire.
So the light should be dimmed and not in front of the mirror.
From here you can opt for looking into the center mirror from one side (not direct view) or place another mirror outside the circle but reflecting back into both mirrors, look at the second mirror and not on the main one.
What you intend to see is not always what you will see but feel free to state your intention loud and clear.
About the Construct
It is basically an energetic construct for a mirror using the alchemy symbols.
* Mercury symbol / the planet and the substance (quicksilver)
* wax alchemy symbol (see reference below)
* fire and water symbols
* glass alchemy symbol
* compasses (as in pair of compasses, the tool used to draw circles and not the compass to point North)
The top and bottom writings reads sicut veritas (truth only) using two sets of characters Enochian (up) and Alphabet of the Magi (down).
Because it is flexible enough the same construct can be used in divination too because it is asking for the truth.
Pendulum, card divination, runes divination and if you put a sign in a certain place, spiritual divination.
