“Magick Without Tears” is a series of digital content created by Baron and Baronessa Araignee from Araignee Arcane Services that serve as simple instructions on various Rituals and Spellwork from various paths and paradigms to supplement your own practices with.
 
All content is presented faithfully in the authors’ typical and much-loved no-nonsense manner, being clear and to the point without unneeded pomp or flourish. Each booklet within this series will present an instructional Ritual or Spell – some created by the authors themselves, others historical and others still a mixture of both, especially in the cases where the original Rituals have not been
documented.

This booklet explores the nature, mechanics, and correct construction of godforms as they were understood and practiced in ancient magickal traditions. It establishes a clear distinction between godforms, daimones, and modern psychological constructs, emphasizing that godforms are not imagined symbols or temporary thought-forms, but deliberately built structures intended to endure, regulate function, and operate within defined boundaries. Throughout, the discussion returns to the principle that ancient godforms were created out of necessity, shaped by function, stabilized through material vessels, sustained by offerings, and verified through divination rather than belief.

The material further outlines the step-by-step ritual architecture required for successful godform creation: consultation by oracle before action, precise naming, construction of a physical body or vessel, use of hymns and words of power, and the essential role of burnt offerings conducted in open air. It contrasts these ancient methods with modern systems—particularly Chaos magick—highlighting why approaches that lack structure, maintenance, and verification are unsuitable for creating enduring godforms. Taken as a whole, this booklet serves as both an instructional framework and a corrective, restoring ancient magickal intelligence to a practice that demands discipline, responsibility, and long-term coherence rather than experimentation or personal belief alone.
 
This booklet forms one of many to come.
